Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 280: Breakthrough and Body Seizing

The Transcendent Realm consists of three stages, corresponding to the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. The Spirit Embryo Realm is the "essence" among these three treasures.

"Essence" refers to the essence of flesh and blood. Therefore, if the body is damaged, it is difficult to forge a Spiritual Body. However, Zhong Lin does not have this deficiency; instead, due to the Dragon Elephant Golden Body, his physique is unparalleled among those in the same realm.

The thick Spiritual Origin continuously merges into the flesh, prompting the flesh to evolve in a more divine direction.

Zhong Lin sits calmly, emptying his mind, with blinding light emanating from his body.

The surrounding Innate Primordial Qi becomes increasingly violent, and the gathered power grows ever stronger, its might sweeping up the wind and clouds, wreaking havoc within a range of several dozen feet.

Chen Jia stares intently at Zhong Lin, muttering to himself, the words unclear.

As the Spiritual Origin continuously merges, the light emanating from Zhong Lin’s flesh grows increasingly dazzling, yet something is still missing to complete the final transformation.

Puff!

Accompanied by a soft sound, the five Spiritual Objects surrounding Zhong Lin suddenly shatter, turning into a cloud of dust that scatters in the wind under this fierce gale.

The five forces merge into one, dripping into Zhong Lin’s flesh like a drop of water.

Whoosh!

The fierce wind around Zhong Lin suddenly pauses for a moment, but only briefly, as it turns even more violent out of nowhere.

Zhong Lin, at the center of the vortex, bears the greatest pressure, with endless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi pouring into his body through his acupoints and meridians.

It feels as if Zhong Lin might be completely overwhelmed.

The Spiritual Origin surges, with golden light shining brightly.

The power of those Five Elements Spiritual Items fusing into him is the final missing seed.

Like brine curdling the final piece of tofu.

Boom!

Zhong Lin, calming his mind, with Divine Thought enveloping his body, sees clearly the endless Spiritual Origin and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi madly rushing towards his flesh, like an endless black hole devouring all conceivable power.

Time flows slowly, with more than half of the Spiritual Origin in Zhong Lin’s Dantian consumed, while the Qi-Blood within him also undergoes changes.

Roar!

When Zhong Lin immerses himself in his enhancement, a roar resembling that of a dragon echoes from within, originating from the chest and abdomen, as a mysterious power envelops him.

From Qi-Blood to muscles and bones, from Dantian to Spiritual Origin, everything undergoes transformation from within to outwards.

The meridians are more steadfast, resembling Dragon Veins, the bones more sturdy, akin to refined iron; the Qi-Blood boils, tempering every aspect within him.

Organs, acupoints, and even the pores undergo changes.

Zhong Lin knows what is happening.

This is the transformation from a mortal body to a Spiritual Body.

The human body’s potential is limited; to advance further, one must borrow power from the heavens and rebuild the foundation for a stronger physique.

At some unknown point, the Primordial Qi Vortex in the void slowly dissipates, and the light shrouding Zhong Lin also dims.

Zhong Lin remains calm in spirit, and at this moment, only feels his Divine Soul is transparent, knowing clearly what is happening outside even with his eyes closed, yet different from what his eyes see.

Under the perception of his mind, there isn’t any matter between heaven and earth, just a variety of light.

Yellow light, green light, blue light, red light, white light...

And he himself seems to have become the brightest of these lights, as countless lights converge towards him, not just one type, but five.

Colorful.

The Five Elements Spirit Body... has formed.

Zhong Lin can feel his body is stronger, with veins bulging on his arms, the power surging between his muscles and bones so that just a casual wave of the hand could smash a mountain.

With just a casual motion, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi follows, no longer needing to call upon Spiritual Origin as before; now, he seems to be the master of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, moving it with a mere thought.

And all this is just an added capability of the Spiritual Body.

"Hahaha, Five Elements Spirit Body, it really is a Five Elements Spirit Body, my dear disciple, you’ve given your master such a tremendous surprise!"

Chen Jia’s ecstatic voice comes through, his laughter even happier than Zhong Lin’s.

Zhong Lin, just about to open his eyes, suddenly freezes, followed by a vast soul power forcibly squeezing into his brow.

That power is incomparably vast, making Chen Jia’s own Divine Soul seem like a firefly compared to the bright moon, easily occupying the spirit platform at his brow.

"Master." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Zhong Lin’s voice turns very low, with a faint trace of sorrow.

"Such a good body, I originally thought it was just a Fire Spirit Body; who knew you’d condense a Five Elements Spirit Body, with such top-tier aptitude. After seizing your body, it won’t take long for me to return to the peak and even proceed further to reach the higher realm of ’Yin Yang Realm.’ Haha, indeed, heaven hasn’t forsaken me; my millennium of waiting has finally turned around."

In a mysterious space, Chen Jia’s figure appears, devoid of the usual amiability, displaying unrestrained arrogance.

When Zhong Lin consumed the Spiritual Rhythm Dao Fruit, he had entered this mysterious space, knowing it to be his soul’s residence, the Soul Palace.

With a thought, his own Divine Soul manifests.

Yet compared to Chen Jia’s figure, Zhong Lin’s Divine Soul is dimmer and more illusory, as he hasn’t opened the Soul Palace nor trained his Divine Soul.

"So a Martial Artist of the Xuandan Realm can indeed perform body seizing rebirth."

"Master, how did it come to this?"

Zhong Lin’s voice carries a tone of lamentation. Despite having anticipated this, truly witnessing this scene still leaves him somewhat unable to accept it.

"I promised you that once I succeeded in Martial Arts, I would rebuild your body. Why must it come to this step?"

"Why?"

Chen Jia sneers, angrily replying, "Because I don’t want to wait anymore."

"A thousand years of loneliness, a thousand years of waiting, trapped in this small Soul Nourishing Ring, not knowing life or death, nor time or year; such suffering you cannot understand."

"I also cannot place my life’s fate in the promise you made. There are too many uncertainties in this world. Back then, in my pride and exuberance, I thought that by cultivating the Xuandan Realm, I could roam the world, only to become a lone wandering soul in the end."

"Martial Artists will only hold all things in their own hands, won’t they, Zhong Lin?"

Zhong Lin remains silent, Chen Jia unaware of the System Panel, not knowing that with enough time, a day would come when he would reach the peak.

Therefore, his actions are understandable but not acceptable.

"Zhong Lin, it’s I, your master, who has wronged you. Rest assured, with your body, I will ascend to the pinnacle of the human world. I will step into the higher realms of Martial Arts using your identity."

As Chen Jia speaks, he raises his palm, reaching out towards Zhong Lin.

The immense Soul Power stirs up a storm in the Soul Palace, causing Zhong Lin’s Divine Soul to flicker as if it were a candle that might extinguish at any moment.
