Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Heavenly Dragon Golden Body_1

Ever since Ling Xiao had advanced to a Martial Master within six days, General Jiu Yue started to believe that Ling Xiao was not to be underestimated. This youngster’s potential was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

”Oh? If one can cultivate the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique beyond the seventh rotation, then there’s a good chance they could comprehend the cultivation method of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body.”

The grizzled Ninth Stage Martial Artist showed a hint of surprise.

”Brother, I’m afraid you’re being too optimistic,” said a Ninth Stage Martial Artist, around forty years old, with glossy black hair, seriously, ”Have you forgotten? The Heavenly Dragon Golden Body was originally a method used by the Dragon Clan to condense the physical body. Even though it is not explicitly stated, without a Dragon Clan bloodline, it is feared that successful cultivation would be difficult.”

”Ah, how could I have forgotten about that? Jiu Yue, hurry and inform that lad to change his martial arts,” urged the Ninth Stage Martial Artist with grizzled hair.

General Jiu Yue shook his head and said, ”It’s too late. I’ve been through this myself. Once one enters into comprehension, they can’t be disturbed for a shichen; it’s the rule.”

”Sigh, what a pity. I had thought that this time there would be a genius who could fully comprehend a Transcendent Martial Art. I didn’t expect such a twist,” the grizzled Ninth Stage Martial Artist sighed, ”It’s been over ten years, hasn’t it? Our General’s Mansion has never had a martial artist below the Martial Pulse Ninth Level who could fully comprehend a Transcendent Martial Art. On the other hand, at the Heavenly Ninja Academy, there is a young lad from the Ninja Clan named Fei Yu who has completely comprehended the Mystic Art of a Transcendent Martial skill.”

”Fei Yu!”

General Jiu Yue clenched his teeth and said, ”That Fei Yu should be close to advancing to the eighth layer of his Martial Veins by now, right? He has a feud with Ling Xiao and will inevitably come to challenge him sooner or later.”

”After this month ends, there should be an exchange of pointers between the Heavenly Ninja Academy and the Hidden Dragon Camp, right? I wonder who they’ll send from the Heavenly Ninja Academy this time,” inquired the grizzled Ninth Stage Martial Artist, somewhat helplessly.

Because the monthly skirmishes were set by the Governor’s Mansion and the General’s Mansion.

The Heavenly Ninja Academy or the Hidden Dragon Camp would send three disciples to request a sparring match on the other’s grounds, best two out of three rounds.

They took turns hosting.

Last time, the Hidden Dragon Camp sent people to the Heavenly Ninja Academy; this time, it was the Heavenly Ninja Academy’s turn to send people to the Hidden Dragon Camp.

However, in recent years, the rise of the Heavenly Ninja Academy has led to the Hidden Dragon Camp’s face regular defeats in these skirmishes. Except for Dai Yuling, who has managed to win every time, all other battles ended in defeat.

Last time was such a case, with Dai Yuling, Hua Nongying, and Shi Lei going to the academy; Dai Yuling narrowly won, while the other two suffered crushing defeats, ultimately leading to a bitter return.

Even Border Guarding General Lin Ze had to admit that the humans who lacked a complete Martial Soul could not compare with Ninja Warriors who possessed a full Ninja Spirit.

Now that Dai Yuling has been promoted to one of the Twelve Tiger Guards, the Hidden Dragon Camp’s skirmish next month seems more likely to end in misfortune than fortune.

Of course, Ling Xiao, who was currently in the Treasure Pavilion, was unaware of all this.

His entire focus was on the Stone Tablet before him, fully committed to comprehending the Mystic Art of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body.

In his mind, various strange symbols and patterns continuously emerged.

As he pondered, he referenced the cultivation method of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique.

”No wonder the cultivation requirements for the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body include reaching the seventh rotation of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique. Upon close comparison, the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique is essentially the foundational martial art for the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body!” Ling Xiao couldn’t help but show an excited smile on his face.

The reason was simple.

With the cultivation experience from the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, comprehending the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body would be much easier.

After all, this was Transcendent Martial Arts we’re talking about! If one were to comprehend it on their own, a mere shichen would definitely not be enough.

But the set time of a shichen must have had its reasons, just like when he was at the Ling Family and was trying to comprehend the Transcendent Martial Arts Fragmentary Secret; going beyond a shichen would likely lead to deviating into madness.

This time restriction was not out of stinginess, but for the safety of martial artists.

Now, as Ling Xiao comprehended the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, it was equivalent to doing so on the foundation laid by the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique.

The foundation had been laid; building the house would now be much easier.

”Got it!”

Half a shichen passed.

Ling Xiao’s eyes, which had previously been tightly shut, moved slightly, but he did not open them.

That was because the basic cultivation steps for the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body had already formed in his mind.

All these steps were comprehended from the mystic art of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, a part of Transcendent Martial Arts.

So that’s how it is.

The Heavenly Dragon Golden Body begins where the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique’s seventh rotation leaves off.

It is divided into six layers.

The first layer is almost identical to the seventh rotation of the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique, only that the effects are several times stronger. Not just the muscles and skin, but also the internal organs will be greatly enhanced, including the effect of rebounding attacks, which will also be better than before;

The second layer is where changes start occurring. In this layer, one can generate Divine Dragon True Essence, which can be used for both defense and attack. Moreover, using the Divine Dragon True Essence can produce a very good self-healing effect. As long as one does not lose a limb, wounds can heal automatically, unless the Divine Dragon True Essence is completely exhausted;

The third layer allows for the cultivation of Heavenly Dragon Scales and Heavenly Dragon Tendons, with golden Heavenly Dragon Scales adhering to the body’s surface for stronger defense, while the body’s veins completely transform into the highly resilient Heavenly Dragon Tendons;

The fourth layer cultivates the Heavenly Dragon Martial Vein, meaning the body’s Martial Veins fully transform into the Heavenly Dragon Martial Veins, not only storing more True Essence but also converting all True Essence into Divine Dragon True Essence;

The fifth layer is terrifying. At this level, one completely casts off the old and transforms anew. Every part of the body will evolve and ascend, possessing complete Dragon Blood capable of bloodline rebirth, thus breaking through to the Extraordinary Sacred Realm!

...

Upon comprehending this, Ling Xiao’s emotions fluctuated significantly. It was not surprising that cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body to the fifth layer could allow a direct breakthrough into the Transcendent Realm.

This was something he had not previously considered.

It’s likely that no one had ever thought of it before.

Because normally neither Transcendent Martial Skills nor Transcendent Body Movement Techniques could achieve this effect.

And then there’s the final layer, the sixth layer—

Unaffected by water and fire, Vajra Indestructible, soul rebirth, physical body eternal!

Indeed, I made the right choice. The Heavenly Dragon Golden Body is truly powerful, capable of bloodline rebirth and ascending to the Transcendent by the fifth layer.

And it doesn’t even require Gold.

Unlike the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique, which allows limb regeneration at the ninth rotation but requires a great amount of Gold.

Moreover, limb regeneration has a threshold of damage it can withstand. If one’s neck is severed or the heart is pierced, there will still be death.

But bloodline rebirth is different, as long as there’s a single drop of blood, rebirth is possible.

Of course, the sixth layer of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body is even more terrifying: soul rebirth means that even without any blood, as long as the soul remains, rebirth is possible, virtually achieving immortality.

Given such a powerful Martial Art, of course I must cultivate it diligently.

With half a shichen remaining, Ling Xiao simply began cultivating right there in the Treasure Pavilion.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, a large number of Spirit Stones were placed, and there was a special Array Formation to absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, so practicing here meant that one’s efforts would yield twice the result with half the effort.

An opportunity not to be missed.

The first layer of the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body was relatively easy to cultivate. In less than a quarter of a shichen, Ling Xiao had already succeeded in his practice of it.

After all, it was basically similar to the seventh rotation of the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique, only significantly enhanced in all respects.
