Martial World's
Ch 71 - Cultivation Method Completed
As Lin Ming walked in front of the row of waterfalls, a deacon waited there, seemingly about 20 to 30 years old. Deacon was given prior notice. He said to Lin Ming, "Junior Apprentice Lin, you can enter. There is a one hour time limit. The array was special for the new disciple today. The difficulty had been set at level seven. Is there a question?"
'Mmm, what a troublesome senior fellow apprentice!' Lin Ming thought, but he didn't really care. This seventh difficulty level corresponds to a rank of 110 to 130. His 126th rank is nearing that bottom. He will start from the foundation, and then come back again for more difficult challenges later.
“You can enter, although you are barely enough to enter the seventh level of difficulty - your cultivation is limited. If you can't stand being inside, get out to rest. Generally, one cannot stay inside for too long. If you are there longer than your body limit, you may be harming your health.” The senior-apprentice deacon reminded Lin Ming.
“Thank you fellow Senior Intern. If I can't stand it, I'll say it. ”
“Mm, good.” Said the senior apprentice deacon as he opened the ranks.
Looking from the outside, Icy Pond Waterfall is an ordinary waterfall, just a big one. But just as he made a few steps in that direction, the scene suddenly changed. Lin Ming arrived at a new space, and was unable to sense anything from the outside.
Although the Icy Pond Waterfall was a killing array, it also contained an illusionary magic array within it. Because of this, 12 people can practice in an array at the same time but cannot see others. This was because the illusory magic array would isolate one of the other 11 people while they were cultivating, after all, no one would be willing to cultivate next to the others watching.
Lin Ming turned around for a moment, and behind him was already a pitch-black world that was completely dark. It was as if the waterfall was hanging in the starry night sky. The ice pool in the waterfall was a thousand feet wide and was as deep blue as glacial ice. Although it was not too far away from the waterfall, it was unusually quiet and calm, and not a single waterline was visible. There was a thick fog that floated above the surface and covered half of the ice pond.
“Look at it, you can feel the piercing cold. This cold air is even cooler than the north wind of winter!” Lin Ming took a deep breath, twisted his true essence to its limit, and then dove into the cold pond.
“Good cold!”
After jumping into the ice pond, Lin Ming felt a freezing chill. He had no doubt that if this existed in the outside world, the water would have already frozen. But in the row of Icy Pond Waterfall, this cold water actually remains liquid, it is amazing.
Lin Ming circulated the 'True Primal Chaos Formula' to the extreme. His muscles also continued to tremble, as they tried to bring out the stinging heat to withstand the cold.
“This water, how does it taste a little like mercury?” Lin Ming started trying to dive, but found that the water contained a puzzling resistance. As he splashed water around him, it was as if he was playing with mercury. The water was obviously much thicker and denser than ordinary water, and also stickier. If this was a normal pond, then if he exhaled all the air within him, he would naturally sink into the water. But in this ice-cold pond, he easily felt as if he was being pulled down; even swimming forwards more slowly.
“It is said that this ice pool has a depth of a thousand feet. I don't know who might have measured it. With my current condition, let alone diving a thousand feet, even a few dozen feet would be extremely difficult. The man who can dive all the way down is truly a master!”
The deeper the ice pool was, the colder it felt. The coldness felt as if it had a faint spiritual intelligence. It was as if it was trying to get into his skin through his pores, sneak into his blood, and penetrate into his marrow and freeze it. Lin Ming had no doubt that if someone who did not know martial arts came here, they would instantly freeze to the point where they would not be able to move, either, their blood would then turn into ice as well, and they would die.
“My hands and feet have started to freeze, what an incredible ferocity.” Lin Ming had already submerged himself 30 feet down. At that depth, Lin Ming felt countless cold needles piercing his body. Because the cold here is so extreme, the cold becomes a painful pain. He could not dive any further from here; otherwise, he would be in danger.
“Although I cultivate the 'True Primal Chaos Formula' and my true essence is much more condensed than that of a normal martial artist, my cultivation is still too weak. Other people who could reach the seventh level of difficulty were usually those who were at the Third Stage of Body Transformation or more.”
“Mmm? Is it a stone platform?” Lin Ming discovered that several dozen feet away, there were flat stone outcrops on the wall. He attempted to swim, concentrate his true essence, and then stand on a stone platform.
Martial artists could take deep and long breaths. Although Lin Ming had yet to reach the Viscera Training stage, with one breath he could stay underwater for around the time it took to burn the incense. He sat cross-legged on a stone platform and began to use his full energy to twist the 'True Primal Chaos Formula'.
Because everything around him was extremely silent, it was as if Lin Ming had entered a separate space and time that had stopped. Even as the cold water from the ice pool flowed past him, Lin Ming could only hear his long and slow heartbeat like a pendulum swinging back and forth, without a trace of chaos.
At that moment, it seemed like Lin Ming's soul had risen from his body. His body did not even feel the slightest bit, he did not have the slightest bit of perception, and was completely absorbed in a trance-like state. Every inch of his muscles held back the cold water. His true essence did not seem to be completely under his control; it was as if it was spinning by itself. It was like it fused with the inertia in his body, and the circulation of true essence in his body flowed in an extremely beautiful line. It was much more accurate than Lin Ming's true essence revolution and was also several times faster!
Lin Ming had just reached the Great Success stage of the first layer of 'True Primal Chaos Formulas' and the speed at which he could twist his true essence had increased. But now, it was even faster than before. It could be said that this was double that of the 'True Primal Chaos Formula'. It was a pity that this circulation speed was not something that Lin Ming could consciously drive, but was done automatically which he could not achieve.
After an unknown time, Lin Ming suddenly woke up from this trance state. “Mm? What's wrong with me?”
There was a slight tightness in his chest from holding his breath. Lin Ming used his true essence and emerged from the water, gasping for breath. As he inhaled the icy air, this air was similarly bone-chilling, and when he inhaled the air, it coated the edge of his mouth with a layer of ice.
Lin Ming returned to the stone platform, because he wanted to reproduce that state. However, he could not realize this state of affairs anymore.
“Mmn!? 'The 'True Primal Chaos Formula' seemed to have risen even further and reached the Perfect stage! As Lin Ming twisted the 'True Primal Chaos Formula' to withstand the cold, he impressively discovered that the circulation speed of his true essence had increased by 40%. This was the perfect stage of the first layer of 'True Primal Chaos Formal'!
Great Success is easy; Perfect is hard! Lin Ming thought that he would reach the Perfect boundary of the first layer of 'True Primal Chaos Formula' sooner than usual, but he did not think that he would reach it so quickly!
"Is this because of my circumstances a moment ago?" lin Ming's heart leaped madly.
It is said that sometimes a martial artist will enter a mysterious state, for example what they call 'sudden enlightenment' and so on. Ancient books have recorded that a martial artist would sit under a Bodhi tree, and meditate under a cliff for one night. The night their hair would turn white, they would wake up and find that their cultivation method had reached the Great Success stage, and their cultivation had grown tremendously! There are even ancient legends that say that one can gain enlightenment and become immortal, and escape from mortal voidness.
Perhaps he had just entered a condition similar to 'sudden enlightenment' or some other extraordinary boundary!
Unfortunately, he had only been in that condition for a very short time. Even so, he had obtained an enormous benefit from it.
The strange condition of a martial artist was elusive. It had nothing to do with the talent of a martial artist, just the heart of a martial artist, consciousness, and other mysterious and profound things. Although Lin Ming's talent was ordinary, but regarding the heart of martial arts, he was not inferior to any other talent in the history of Sky Fortune Kingdom!
Since he was unable to enter that state anymore, Lin Ming continued to use the cold water from the ice pond to temper his body, along with circulating his true essence. The efficacy of the Soul Gathering Pellet was also stimulated. Lin Ming's inner true essence gradually flowed from his muscles to the edge of his innards ...
The true essence that covered the innards was the boundary symbol of the Third Stage of Body Transformation, Viscera Training!
Lin Ming deliberately half stepped into the realm of the Third Stage of Body Transformation. The breakthrough was only a matter of time!
A martial artist who practiced Body Transformation to the Second Stage of Flesh Training would have a true essence that moistened their muscles and moistened the surface with it. In the Third Stage, Viscera Training, true essence would cover the internal organs and protect them. Furthermore to the Fourth Stage and the Fifth Stage, true essence would penetrate deeper and deeper into the body, until it would transform muscles and forge bones.
Nevertheless, in practice, it was impossible to cover every inch of the flesh and blood of a martial artist with true essence.
Generally, a martial artist would pour true essence into their muscles. This kind of forced feeding mechanism was limited in its ways. A muscle point that absorbed too much true essence would arrive at a bottleneck. On the other hand, due to supervision, some areas of the muscles would not be moistened or exposed to true essence at all. Like this, it will leave 'empty points' inside the body.
But in actual combat, every 'empty point' was also an exploitable weakness. Also, later on in the future when one tried to reach the peak of Body Transformation, the Pulse Condensation Period, this 'empty point' would become a huge barrier.
But it's different in an ice pool. Ice pools stimulate every inch of body meat. A cold chill enters through the pores and stimulates the entire body; muscles, blood, and even marrow!
To deal with this kind of cold, one had to twist true essence and vibrate muscles to fight back. This required that every small unit in the body would withstand the cold as well, and absorb true essence!
Gradually, every inch of blood and flesh would be softened by true essence, and thus eliminate the 'empty spots'!
Realizing this, Lin Ming took a deep breath. It was no wonder why for so many years the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom Pulse Condensation Period martial artists had almost all come from the Seven Profound Martial Houses. They had mysterious and profound resources, in addition to incredible talent and incredible cultivation methods. To achieve a breakthrough to the Pulse Condensation Period was only much easier than a normal martial artist. It didn't even mention the likes of Ling Sen, Ta Ku, and other top-tier talents, even if it was only a third-rate talent, either, as long as they did not attempt to support them with rare and precious medicines, they could also destroy them.through the Pulse Condensation Period!
“Before, if I chose to enter the first level Sky Fortune Martial House, even if I had the 'Meridian Combat Virtue Chaos', I still won't be able to train every inch of my flesh and blood! Only this ice pool had a miraculous effect. The other cultivation rooms should also have other mysterious effects. These seven major killing arrays were simply too precious! ”
"I must raise my rank as soon as possible so that I can freely enjoy the resources of the seven main assassin arrays!"
