Chapter 352: Chapter 207: Double Spiritual Qi, Cultivating the Bright King Technique!_2

Qi Chuan stood under the waterfall on a protruding rock in the lake, looking up at the hundred-zhang-tall cold waterfall, and couldn’t help but nod slightly.

This hundred-zhang cold waterfall, also known as the Profound Ice Falls, is a mystical training ground in the Myriad Flowers Mountain Range.

In fact, it is merely a Tier Two mystical training ground.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, especially those cultivating ice-cold attribute techniques, would occasionally come here to train, provided they pay a sum of contribution points.

But today, because Qi Chuan planned to come, he reserved the entire Profound Ice Falls, so no Foundation Establishment cultivators would appear here.

As an elder of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, Qi Chuan is now a powerful elder—even though he’s newly promoted and hasn’t been assigned much work yet, he wields immense power.

Consider the vastness of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, having only nine Core Formation True Master elders; this makes it understandable.

As for why Qi Chuan came to train under the Profound Ice Falls, it was to practice the Bright King Technique.

Previously, on the returning flying ship to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, Qi Chuan had thoroughly comprehended the Bright King Technique.

As a Tier Four body refining method, the Bright King Technique is decidedly different from the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body that Qi Chuan had cultivated before.

The Little Profound Crystal Jade Body could be enhanced by medicinal baths in the early stages.

The Bright King Technique, however, is fundamentally not feasible this way.

This is because the technique advocates applying immense external pressure to the physical body, then using the technique to physically withstand the external pressure. If one can endure it, the physical body will naturally improve.

So at that time on the flying ship, Qi Chuan couldn’t practice it at all.

Upon returning to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, intending to begin with the Bright King Technique, Qi Chuan found the Profound Ice Falls.

"Since I am here, let’s start directly!"

Qi Chuan looked at the gigantic Profound Ice Falls, and with a leap, he jumped directly beneath it, seated cross-legged on a huge rock.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Upon entering the Profound Ice Falls, Qi Chuan immediately felt immense pressure.

Sitting down cross-legged, that great pressure hammered entirely onto his shoulders and head.

Moreover, in the turbulent waterfall currents, strands of chilly air seeped through and relentlessly invaded Qi Chuan, who was soaked to the skin.

Frost began to form on Qi Chuan’s hair, eyelashes, clothes, and skin, even spreading a layer of ice crystals.

The combination of the Profound Ice Cold Qi and the immense pressure created a synergistic effect, making it even harder to resist.

Even Qi Chuan couldn’t help but shiver slightly; his skin developed goosebumps, turned purple, and showed signs of frostbite.

Muscles inside the skin started to bruise.

Instantly, Qi Chuan felt a peculiar feeling of sour pleasure that made him grit his teeth and suck in countless cold breaths.

Certainly, Qi Chuan could use mana to resist the immense pressure and Profound Ice Cold Qi.

If he did so, Qi Chuan wouldn’t be affected at all, and wouldn’t sustain any injuries.

However, doing so would prevent him from cultivating the Bright King Technique, making Qi Chuan’s trip to the Profound Ice Falls pointless.

Therefore, Qi Chuan dared not activate even a single thread of Core Formation magical power; in his Dantian, the First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core remained perfectly still, with no mana flowing out from its nine orifices.

Discarding mana, Qi Chuan’s physical body wasn’t as formidable.

Previously, having cultivated the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body, Qi Chuan reached the Third Layer Realm, with a physical body equivalent to a Tier One Peak Body Cultivator, on par with a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator.

However, later on, as his cultivation advanced, reaching Foundation Establishment, and now Core Formation.

Mana naturally nourishes the physical body over time, enhancing it accordingly.

Yet, there was a problem.

The speed at which Qi Chuan cultivated and breakthrough realms was too fast compared to others.

From beginning as a Tier One Peak Body Cultivator to achieving Core Formation, how many years have passed?

The time was too short, so the effects of mana nourishing the body weren’t as significant, and the physical body didn’t improve that much.

Now, assessing it comprehensively, Qi Chuan’s current physical body strength should be between a Tier Two Early Stage Body Cultivator and a Tier Two Middle Stage Body Cultivator, likely not reaching Tier Two Middle Stage.

This was a comprehensive manifestation.

Mana’s nourishment of the body differs from body cultivation and tends to be selective.

Areas frequently exposed to mana naturally receive more nourishment and improve significantly.

Areas seldom touched by mana received scant nourishment.

It equates to imbalanced body cultivation.

To be more explicit, areas near the Dantian and the meridian paths of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, including flesh, organs, and tissues, experience greater enhancement.

Other areas don’t fare as well.

Hence, Qi Chuan was nearly overwhelmed with pain, gritting his teeth.

He didn’t dare delay, immediately activating the cultivation method of the Bright King Technique.

Along with the Bright King Technique’s operation, Qi Chuan sensed his physical body trembling slightly.

Then inside his body, a breath of energy akin to "Qi and Blood" rose slowly.

However, it shouldn’t be called Qi and Blood now; calling it the Power of the Physical Body is more fitting.

According to the Bright King Technique’s philosophy, the power of Qi and Blood is merely a part of the physical body’s power, and the Bright King Technique can mobilize other forces within the body besides the power of Qi and Blood.

But in the early stage of body cultivation, the power of Qi and Blood still dominates among all physical strengths.

This pathway of the Power of the Physical Body ascended to the top of the head, where the pressure was greatest, and the Profound Ice Cold Qi most abundant.

Upon reaching the top of the head, this Power of the Physical Body began resisting the immense pressure and Profound Ice Cold Qi.

Thus, Qi Chuan felt slightly relieved in that area.

Subsequently, as he continued to operate the Bright King Technique, several more streams of the Power of the Physical Body arose within him, darting to other areas to counter the immense pressure and cold qi.

Consequently, Qi Chuan instantly felt the pressure throughout his body lessen significantly.

Particularly, Qi Chuan wasn’t entirely a novice in body cultivation, having previously trained in the Little Profound Crystal Jade Body, allowing him to mobilize more Power of the Physical Body than a complete newcomer.

Otherwise, Qi Chuan might have reconsidered whether to train under the Profound Ice Falls or opt for a less challenging training ground.

Although Qi Chuan felt slightly better, it wasn’t much relief.

Many times, his body could not help but shake; his head and shoulders felt heavily burdened.

In the long run, he feared he couldn’t endure it.

Fortunately, Qi Chuan could feel that during this confrontation, the Power of the Physical Body within him seemed to inexplicably absorb the forces of the immense pressure and Profound Ice Cold Qi, silently and slowly strengthening, although not very notably.

"As long as it’s becoming stronger, it’s fine; the fear is if there’s no change."

In Qi Chuan’s heart, there was a touch of delight.

He considered it crucial to be comprehensive in cultivation for immortality - not neglecting the physical body.

Previously, the pursuit of achieving Core Formation quickly was excusable; now it was time for the body to catch up.

As the Power of the Physical Body strengthened, Qi Chuan could endure longer.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

After half an hour, Qi Chuan finally couldn’t bear it any longer, ceasing the operation of the Bright King Technique, and leapt out to the shore of the lake beneath the falls.

Then, he directly sprawled on the ground in a large character shape, gasping for breath.

A layer of ice crystals covered his body, and underneath, the flesh was bruised and purplish-blue in patches; the muscles beneath the skin were extensively bruised, with some areas even fractured.

At this moment, activating the Golden Core to release Core Formation magical power or swallowing a healing elixir would naturally facilitate rapid improvement, yet Qi Chuan couldn’t do so now.
