Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1523 (Raw 1504): Cultivating the Physical Body

Inside the medicinal pool, Xiao Chen’s life teetered on a knife’s edge. In front was the ferocious Medicinal Energy making the blood in his body surge like a river. This river was not one of those calm and gentle ones but a torrent of lava that gave off heatwaves.

Behind were the ferocious beasts crashing into his body and biting him. Every time they struck, he felt like vomiting blood.

The first problem to deal with was his Qi and blood rushing too fast. The Medicinal Energy was too tyrannical. His two choices were to vent it or refine it.

Clearly, Xiao Chen would not vent it. That would be a waste. He might as well not have entered the medicinal pool.

Hence, there was only one solution left: refining it. No matter how difficult it was, he had to refine it.

Amid the pain and torment, Xiao Chen did his best to remain calm. He needed to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.

However, it was very difficult. The medicinal pool contained a hundred ancient ferocious beasts’ blood. After the Medicinal Energy was released, it was extremely tyrannical.

Xiao Chen’s entire body felt like it was about to rip apart. Just enduring the pain was incredibly arduous.

After he mobilized his Veritable Essence Energy with much difficulty, those mysterious ferocious beasts would interrupt him.

The most frightening thing in the circulation of Veritable Essence Energy was the interruption of its flow. The Veritable Essence Energy would backflow, which hurt the meridians, a piercing pain like needles stabbing his meridians.

Once...twice...thrice... Over ten attempts all ended in failure. With each failure, the pain intensified.

When the old Dragon Horse and the other Item Spirits in the meditation room saw this scene, they found it somewhat hard to bear.

They all started to worry, but they had to be ruthless. The current Xiao Chen was still too weak. He had no chance of dealing with the danger outside, none at all.

Little fellow, don’t blame me for being ruthless. For you to obtain the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s inheritance is a rare spot of good fortune for the Dragon Race. However, you are rather unfortunate for being in the abandoned land. Your starting point is much weaker than the other geniuses of our race.

You are even more unfortunate in having to carry the weight of the entire Kunlun Realm at such a young age. The old Dragon Horse sighed to itself. If it knew what Xiao Chen experienced along the way, it would be sighing even more heavily, viewing Xiao Chen in a whole new light.

Whether something was fortunate or unfortunate was hard to tell. Along the way, Xiao Chen had experienced all sorts of things—laughter, fatigue, pain, grief, sorrow, sadness—actually, he already had long since seen past all this.

At the very least, he lived in this world without a complaint, without bending his back or bowing his head, remaining proud until now. This was enough already.

“He succeeded!”

The azure-clad man, who was staring hard at the water screen, revealed a happy and excited expression. The old Dragon Horse looked quickly. Xiao Chen had finally managed to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation after failing one hundred times.

“Good!”

The normally calm and steady old Dragon Horse could not help calling out “good” in a loud voice.

The beginning was the most difficult step for all things. No matter how thorny or rugged the path, as long as one took the first step, one had a chance of success. If one did not even take the first step, success would definitely be impossible.

Inside the medicinal pool, the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation circulated once and became like a huge whirlpool. “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” The Medicinal Energy in the blood poured into the small Veritable Essence Energy lake like a storm.

The pressure that Xiao Chen faced immediately lightened, and the speed of his ferociously surging blood decreased.

The originally calm Veritable Essence Energy lake instantly surged after the Medicinal Energy rushed in. However, this surging was different before; it made Xiao Chen felt incredibly comfortable.

This was Veritable Essence Energy. With the infusion of Medicinal Energy, it slowly densified and firmed.

As Xiao Chen refined the Medicinal Energy, his state improved continuously. His previously feverish countenance also turned normal.

Xiao Chen’s condition no longer looked that scary, as though blood would flow out at any moment. His current appearance was much better.

“Phew!”

After the Veritable Essence Energy completed one major cycle, Xiao Chen spat out a long breath of turbid air. He immediately felt refreshed as if his body was purified.

His eyes suddenly narrowed, and his right hand shot forward. “Boom!” He lifted a “ferocious beast” out of the water, an incorporeal being that tried to struggle free after being caught.

It tried its best to escape Xiao Chen’s grip.

“Not so easy!”

Now that Xiao Chen could split his attention and deal with this “ferocious beast,” naturally, he would not let it go.

He squeezed hard with one hand, and the incorporeal being turned corporeal and took form. It turned out to be a huge snake glowing dimly. However, it did not seem like a real ferocious beast, just a strand of malicious soul.

You are already dead but are still causing trouble like this. Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold, and he scattered this figure with a palm strike.

“Splash! Splash!”

When the ancient ferocious beasts’ remnant souls at the bottom of the pool saw this, they leaped out of the water, launching themselves over.

Amid the mist, these ancient ferocious beasts’ remnant souls seemed to have come to life, flying at Xiao Chen.

The entire scene turned extremely horrifying. These ancient ferocious beasts were born during the Great Desolate Eon. They were the descendants of the Primal Chaos God Demons that had wandered the world.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, feeling an intense pressure assaulting him and making his entire body pause.

“Roar!”

Just at this moment, a thunderous dragon roar came from the bottom of the medicinal pool. Dragon Might surged out, forcing back all these ferocious beasts’ remnant souls.

Xiao Chen released his bated breath. It was finally somewhat peaceful. The old Dragon Horse had spoken true.

There were indeed countless dragon souls standing guard at the bottom of the pool. After Xiao Chen stabilized his cultivation, he could absorb these dragon souls to cultivate his Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art.

After the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation had circulated one hundred major cycles, the Veritable Essence Energy lake in Xiao Chen’s body turned from white to a pure purple.

With the baptism of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, the Veritable Essence Energy became even purer and denser. His cultivation finally stabilized at Small Perfection Veritable Essence Stage.

The more surprising thing was that the residual Medicinal Energy entered Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness, which was made up of Magic Energy, and expanded it several times larger.

It vaguely felt like he was approaching a bottleneck.

As for Xiao Chen’s physical body, his Vital Qi strengthened steadily. From the previous one thousand Dragon Force, it increased to three thousand Dragon Force.

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God, who had advanced to Prime by means of his physical body, possessed ten thousand Dragon Force. Now, this was no longer beyond Xiao Chen’s reach.

With so many miraculous effects, Xiao Chen somewhat wondered whether this medicinal pool was as simple as the old Dragon Horse made it out to be.

However, this suspicion merely flitted by. After experiencing the hardship, he finally acclimatized to the environment of this medicinal pool.

I have to make full use of this. Xiao Chen relaxed his body and sank deeper. Soon, his feet touched the bottom, reaching the lowest part of the medicinal pool.

He did not dare to open his eyes. The essence blood of the ancient ferocious beasts in this medicinal pool was too tyrannical.

Furthermore, the eyes were the weakest part of the body. If he was not careful and injured his eyes, it would be problematic.

Xiao Chen used his sharp senses to probe his surroundings. There were many dragon souls of varying strengths around.

When he arrived, these dragon souls showed their goodwill, several of them even taking the initiative to swim over and wait for him to absorb them.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. It looked like many people had come to soak at the bottom of this medicinal pool previously.

Perhaps they used the dragon souls to strengthen their own souls or, like me, cultivated certain special Cultivation Techniques.

Hence, the dragon souls at the bottom of the medicinal pool are already used to it.

This was a certain feedback loop. One day, after he died, he would leave his dragon soul behind to bless the descendants as well.

Xiao Chen immediately stopped hesitating and sat down cross-legged. Then, he started to cultivate the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art at the bottom of the pool where the Medicinal Energy was the most ferocious.

The Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art had a total of five layers. Xiao Chen had already cultivated to the peak of the third layer. As long as he broke through twice, he would reach the peak of the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art, entering Consummation.

According to the introduction of the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art, after he attained peak Consummation, his physical body would turn into the genuine Azure Dragon War Body.

Xiao Chen would be able to materialize the Azure Dragon Battle Armor as he pleased. His hands would be like the claws of the ancient Azure Dragon. With one swipe, he would be able to tear through the body of a ferocious beast like it was a dead, dry branch on a tree.

At this very moment, the adoptive sons of the Treasure Master finally brought over the seventeen Immortal statues from the Penglai Sea to the island where the Treasure Master’s Residence was.

After being re-refined by the Immortal Cultivators, not only had these Immortal statues gained a boost in defense, but their movements had also become nimbler.

The more horrifying thing was that those Immortal statues could use Magic Treasures. Naturally, the Magic Treasures of these Immortal statues were peak Immortal Equipment of the Immortal Epoch.

Right now, the combat prowess of each Immortal statue had more than doubled.

Furthermore, the many cultivators and the three Primes on Heavenly Star Island did not know about this.

This time, the Treasure Master did not hesitate at all, directly commanding his ten-odd adoptive sons to charge towards Heavenly Star Island together with the experts of the Treasure Master’s Residence.
