Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 410 - 317: Unleashing Potential _2

"Indeed, one must never underestimate any opponent," Gu Chen thought solemnly.

If the weakest combatant, Su Du, had shown such strength, what of Lu Xing, Bu Nantian, and others who had gained enhancements after arriving in the Spirit Realm, as well as the six wanderers from the six major holy lands? Their power must be unimaginably terrifying.

This battle had also caused the joy that had risen in Gu Chen’s heart due to the rapid advancement of his cultivation to vanish completely.

"It’s time to check the harvest."

Gu Chen stepped into the orchard ahead, where spiritual qi surged. He moved deeper and saw in the center, the most conspicuous old tree.

"Spirit Essence Fruit!"

A hint of a smile appeared on Gu Chen’s face. No wonder Su Du went mad—this time, he suffered a huge loss!

Gu Chen naturally understood the efficacy of the Spirit Essence Fruit; it was a rare elixir that could increase the force of a grandmaster, something not to be found in the nine provinces.

"The Spirit Essence Fruit can be used as a main ingredient, combined with other various medicinal materials. If refined into a pill, the medicinal effect would be even more powerful," Gu Chen mused to himself.

Unfortunately for him, Gu Chen did not know how to refine pills. And at present, there were various opportunities awaiting him in the Spirit Realm for exploration; he had not even delved deeply into the Spirit Realm yet.

With various geniuses and formidable enemies lying ahead, Gu Chen had to seize every chance to enhance his power. Although it was somewhat wasteful to consume the Spirit Essence Fruit directly, it was the only option available to him now.

Without further delay, Gu Chen reached out his hand, pinched a grape-sized Spirit Essence Fruit, and swallowed it.

As soon as the Spirit Essence Fruit entered his mouth, it melted and merged into Gu Chen’s meridians. He felt a slight warmth all over his body, and vaguely, the Great Sun Divine Gang seemed to have been enhanced.

Once he reached the Hundred Orifices Stage, the feeling of his body being full disappeared. If there were points in cultivation values, Gu Chen would have been able to unrestrainedly improve his cultivation.

"One Spirit Essence Fruit actually increased a year of my cultivation?"

Gu Chen accessed his panel and saw his cultivation progress from one thousand and thirty years to one thousand and thirty-one years.

"Does that mean one Spirit Essence Fruit is equivalent to one point in cultivation value?"

A trace of happiness surfaced on Gu Chen’s face. Indeed, heavenly and earthly treasures were extraordinary; it was just a pity that, nowadays, the world of the nine provinces was in ruin, making it very difficult for elixirs like the Spirit Essence Fruit to appear within them.

Not to mention elixirs as rare as the Spirit Essence Fruit from ancient times—even relatively common elixirs were few in the nine provinces, or had become extinct.

"If used for refining pills, I could probably increase much more cultivation," Gu Chen felt somewhat regretful, but there was nothing he could do. His current strength, compared to the top-tier in the Spirit Realm, was still lacking.

However, with the hundred or so Spirit Essence Fruits before him, if one fruit was comparable to one point of cultivation value, then a hundred fruits represented a hundred years of force!

Gu Chen continued to pluck and swallow the Spirit Essence Fruits, as casually as if he were eating grapes, while his inner cultivation steadily soared.

Initially, one Spirit Essence Fruit indeed equated to one point of cultivation value on the panel, providing Gu Chen with one year of force.

But as time went on, this changed. As Gu Chen continually ingested more Spirit Essence Fruits, the potency of the fruits gradually diminished.

This situation was within Gu Chen’s expectations because many heavenly and earthly treasures worked in such a way; the more you consume, the less effective they become.

Crackling sounds!

After Gu Chen had consumed all the Spirit Essence Fruits in the area, his body echoed with successive bursts of thudding sounds, as if thunder was exploding within him.

Heat radiated from him, and his hair began to rise without any wind. The light golden Great Sun Divine Gang emerged, forming a halo that enveloped Gu Chen.

Checking his panel, Gu Chen found that his cultivation had risen from one thousand and thirty years to one thousand one hundred and ten years!

In other words, the hundred or so Spirit Essence Fruits had provided Gu Chen with eighty years of force, equivalent to eighty points of cultivation value on the panel. Read new adventures at novelbuddy

The enhancement this time was substantial.

"With such profound cultivation, it should be no less than complete mastery of the Hundred Orifices Stage, perhaps even surpassing it." As Gu Chen felt the increasingly vigorous Great Sun Divine Gang within, he believed that he could finally wield some of the power of the Earth Grade technique—the Great Sun Divine Illumination True Classic.

Previously, with his weaker cultivation, despite possessing Earthly Martial Skills and Earth Grade techniques, Gu Chen couldn’t unleash much of their power.

But now, things were different. With one thousand one hundred and ten years of cultivation, he could now exhibit the divine might of his acquired techniques.

"Next, it’s about unblocking more orifices and releasing more human potential."

Gu Chen looked inward at himself, once again seeing the star map of the human body composed of dense orifices. He mobilized the Great Sun Divine Gang within him and fiercely targeted an orifice to break through.

Bang!

Like cutting through bamboo, the thirty-fifth orifice was successfully unblocked!

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Following were a series of explosive sounds from within Gu Chen’s body. On his surface, one after another, points of light lit up—these were the human orifices he had unblocked.

As the orifices continued to be broken through, strands of mysterious energy flowed out, nourishing Gu Chen’s body and merging into his limbs and bones.

With the deepest potentials of the human body being gradually unlocked, Gu Chen vaguely felt that through these orifices, he might be able to connect with heaven and earth.

However, at this stage, there was still a barrier between Gu Chen and heaven and earth. Only by unlocking the mystical gateway of heaven and earth could he properly attract the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi with his spirit.

For now, he could only sense the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi through the orifices but couldn’t utilize it.

"Fifty-five orifices!" Feeling the specifics within his body, Gu Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

One thousand one hundred and ten years of cultivation, combined with the extraordinary Great Sun Divine Gang, helped Gu Chen unblock twenty-one orifices within his body.

Gu Chen felt that, with the potential of these orifices unleashed, his physical strength had once again significantly increased!

Faint glimmers of treasured light twinkled across his body.

Mainly, if not for Gu Chen’s uniquely special and extraordinary physique, the accumulation of so many years of force would have already brought him to full mastery of the Hundred Orifices Stage.

But even though his body surpassed the ordinary, the potential contained in each of Gu Chen’s orifices was also greater than other martial artists, perhaps even double!

Therefore, Gu Chen was not disheartened. On the contrary, he was full of confidence.

"Now, if I were to face Su Du again, within ten rounds, his death would be certain!" Gu Chen whispered, his eyes brimming with powerful self-assurance.
