Chapter 113: To The Fourth Level Of The Grade Of Diyuan
Chapter 113: To The Fourth Level Of The Grade Of Diyuan
To The Fourth Level Of The Grade Of Diyuan . . .
Cha-Eun Xiao had no intention of squandering the precious spiritual qi by merely testing how far its scent could reach. Instead, he promptly swallowed the qi, causing his stomach to expand instantly. The surge of energy began to flow through his body, coursing along his Jing and Mai pathways and infiltrating his bones and bone marrow.
However, the initial sensation was far from pleasant. Excruciating pain washed over him, an intensity that even his considerable endurance struggled to contain. His face paled, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead, dripping down in torrents. The accumulated sweat quickly transformed into rivulets, streaming down to the floor.
As the potent energy continued its journey through his bones, it seemed to induce a transformation, as though his bones were undergoing a fiery metamorphosis. The pain intensified as impurities began to emerge from his bones. It was as if the energy was purging these impurities, and the process was agonizingly relentless.
The impurities continued to surface, their colors ranging from black to cyan and even purple. The searing sensation persisted, spreading from the bones to the muscles, carrying the impurities out through every pore of his body. For Cha-Eun Xiao, this ordeal felt like a relentless torture, and he was rendered speechless by the sheer agony.
His entire body became covered in these foul substances, from head to toe, even saturating his hair. However, when the process was finally complete, the burning sensation ceased abruptly, and the torment ended. Cha-Eun Xiao experienced an odd sensation of weightlessness, as if he had shed a substantial burden. Fatigued and drained, he hovered on the brink of unconsciousness.
Despite his exhaustion, he knew that he couldn't afford to lose focus. He needed to swiftly cleanse the impurities that now coated his body. These impurities, once part of him, had to be completely removed. Failure to do so would risk their reabsorption, undermining the effectiveness of the entire process.
Summoning the last reserves of his strength, he held his nose and meticulously washed away the impurities that clung to his skin. It felt as though he was peeling away a layer of his own flesh. As he finished, he sensed an unprecedented level of cleanliness, both inside and out.
In this moment of purity, Cha-Eun Xiao understood the profound transformation his body had undergone.
Cha-Eun Xiao marveled at his newfound purity and cleanliness. He couldn't help but lift his hand to his face, inhaling deeply. To his surprise, a delightful fragrance greeted his senses. He couldn't help but feel somewhat pleased with himself.
It was a stark contrast to how he had felt just moments ago, plagued by an unpleasant odor. Now, he felt as if he had emerged from a foul-smelling toilet only to be enveloped by the scent of fragrant flowers. The bone ablution had indeed worked wonders, leaving him feeling revitalized and refreshed.
"Isn't this amazing?" Cha-Eun Xiao muttered to himself, awe in his voice. He had heard of the benefits of Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads, but he had never expected such a remarkable outcome. These dan beads were known to cleanse the bones and expel impurities, but they could only achieve partial purification. Complete removal of impurities was an almost god-like feat, attainable only by those who had reached an extraordinary level of mastery.
However, this time was different. The supreme dan beads had not only exhibited exceptional efficacy but had also rejuvenated his body. This was unprecedented, and Cha-Eun Xiao was aware of the historic significance of this event. The supreme dan beads had shown capabilities beyond anyone's knowledge, having made their first appearance in the world.
Reflecting on his experience with Song Jue, Cha-Eun Xiao realized the importance of using the right dan bead for specific ailments. The Golden Mai Palm had left impurities in Song Jue's body, making the Bone Ablutionary Dan the ideal choice for his recovery. However, not all Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads were equally effective against the wounds caused by the Golden Mai Palm. Song Jue's survival had partly been due to the limited strength of the cultivator who had used the technique on him. Had a more formidable cultivator been involved, Song Jue might not have survived.
Despite the limited efficacy of the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead, it had brought Cha-Eun Xiao substantial benefits, and he appreciated the element of surprise in his experiences.
After a well-deserved rest, Cha-Eun Xiao decided to continue his cultivation. He activated the East-rising Purple Qi, and for a fleeting moment, he felt as if a miniature sun had risen within his dantian. However, the sensation disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared, leaving him uncertain if it had been real.
Subsequently, the purple qi that connected him to the heavens and the earth surged into his body like a tidal wave. It flowed through his Jing and Mai pathways, channeling all of his spiritual power toward breaking through the fourth level of the Grade of Diyuan.
In this pivotal moment, Cha-Eun Xiao lifted his head and promptly consumed an Unblocking Mai Dan Bead. With every ounce of his spiritual power relentlessly pressing against the threshold of the fourth level, he strained to achieve a breakthrough.
The Jing and Mai pathways within his body endured immense pressure due to the rapid influx of purple qi. Despite the intense strain, Cha-Eun Xiao remained confident that he would eventually break through the limits. This experience felt significantly more manageable than his previous attempts in his past life, instilling a sense of optimism in him.
He recognized that if there was a dan bead capable of easing this process, he would gladly employ it. Fortunately, he now had access to such a bead.
Upon ingesting the Unblocking Mai Dan Bead, Cha-Eun Xiao immediately sensed a surge of formidable energy intermingling with his spiritual power, sharpening it to a needle-like point. This newly augmented energy coursed through his Jing and Mai pathways, gathering momentum. In a matter of moments, it reached the forefront of his spiritual power, becoming the focal point. A chilly, potent force emanated from this point, puncturing through the fourth level of the Grade of Diyuan.
A hairline fracture appeared on the entrance to the fourth level, with traces of energy radiating outward. The sensation was profoundly satisfying.
As Cha-Eun Xiao recommenced his spiritual power manipulation and directed it toward the entrance, it was akin to a dam teetering on the brink of collapse. The tremendous surge of spiritual power burst through, propelling him into a new realm.
His countenance radiated delight. "The fourth level of the Grade of Diyuan. I've successfully broken through!"
The spiritual power circulated within him like a tidal wave, and he felt as if he could soar to the heavens. It was a euphoric sensation of advancement.
However, as Cha-Eun Xiao eagerly assessed his cultivation, he soon furrowed his brow and let out a wry smile. The East-rising Purple Qi remained at the first level, albeit with a minor increase in the quantity of purple qi within his dantian. There had been no improvements in the East-rising Purple Qi itself.
