Wang Baole woke up again.
The moment he woke up, Wang Baole lay outside the first palace and looked at the sky in a daze. He was thinking about a question: why did he always fall unconscious after his battle with the Leisurely Taoist?
How many times have I fainted … Wang Baole sighed. As he climbed to his feet, his eyes widened. That was because he had only pressed his right hand casually on the ground, and a force that originated from his physical body was unleashed. It caused the ground to shake, and his body was thrown into the air from the recoil.
This scene made Wang Baole, who was floating in mid-air, gasp. He hadn't had the time to check his cultivation after he woke up. He immediately lowered his head to check his cultivation, and his eyes slowly filled with excitement and ecstasy.
"My cultivation hasn't changed. I'm still at the perfected Core Formation realm. But my physical body … has reached the Yuanying realm!" Wang Baole knew from the records of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace that a cultivator's combat power mainly came from four sources. One was their cultivation, another was their Mystiques and spells, another was their Dharma treasures, and the last one … was the strength of their physical body!
These four sources complemented each other. If any one of them was outstanding, it would greatly increase their overall combat power. However, compared to Mystiques and Dharma treasures, the improvement of one's cultivation and physical body was the most fundamental and crucial factor.
This was especially so for the latter … The strength of one's physical body seemed simple, but in reality, unless one had some special bloodline inheritance, the difficulty of improving one's physical body was no different from increasing one's cultivation. It would only get more difficult as one progressed.
Furthermore, a cultivator's energy was limited. Therefore, only the most powerful cultivators would focus on cultivating their physical body when their cultivation stagnated. Generally speaking, very few people in the Yuanying realm could cultivate their physical body to such a terrifying level as Wang Baole's.
"Finally … it can be considered Yuanying!" After feeling the strength of his physical body, Wang Baole threw his head back and laughed. His body disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was a thousand feet away.
This wasn't teleportation. Instead, it was a form of teleportation-like teleportation that had been triggered after his physical body reached the Nascent Soul realm. As soon as he appeared, Wang Baole raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. He could feel that within his fist, even though he hadn't activated his physical body's cultivation, there was still a terrifying force that felt like it was going to explode. Wang Baole grew even more agitated.
Although he still wouldn't be a match for the Leisurely Taoist, Wang Baole could tell that based on the combat power that the Leisurely Taoist had displayed, he wouldn't be as pathetic as he was before.
"Just the creation of a palace directly raised my physical body to the Yuanying realm …" Wang Baole took a deep breath and looked at the first palace that had melted. He noticed that the palace's red glow had dimmed, and frost had appeared, as if it was about to be frozen again. He sighed with emotion.
The creation this time seemed simple, but in reality, the pain in the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool made Wang Baole's heart palpitate when he recalled it. Whether it was the influx of Qi and blood, or the impact of the remnant thoughts of the countless ferocious beasts before they died, they made Wang Baole feel excruciating pain. It was as if he had really died tens of thousands of times.
"It's a pity that I didn't last long. Otherwise … based on the scale of the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Pool, it would have been possible for me to reach the Soul Conduit realm or even the Spirit Immortal realm. Even … my physical body could have reached the Planet realm!
"But this is good too. When I'm stronger in the future, I should be able to go in again and try to absorb and break through!" Wang Baole licked his lips. He was already addicted to this kind of breakthrough. While his heart was filled with anticipation, his gaze landed on the other two palaces that were sealed in ice.
I wonder if I can enter the two palaces. If I can … With that thought, a strange light flashed in Wang Baole's eyes. He walked over and studied the palaces. However, he realized that the ice on the palaces didn't show any signs of melting. The cold voice didn't appear again either.
"Does this mean that I'm not qualified?" Wang Baole scratched his head. He had seen the rules of this trial ground, but he was unwilling to leave just like that. Hence, after circling the two palaces a few times, Wang Baole's gaze landed on the palace on the right. After careful observation, his eyes burned with passion.
He could see that although the palace on the right was the same size as the one on the left, the carvings and intricate carvings were much more exquisite than the one on the left. Obviously, in terms of level, it was more profound than the one on the left that the adopted disciples could enter.
The more this was the case, the more eager Wang Baole was. After a while, he gritted his teeth and raised his right hand. His cultivation base was instantly activated to the maximum, and his physical strength was fully unleashed. He directly punched the ice in the palace on the right!
"Break for me!"
Wang Baole roared. As his cultivation base and physical strength were unleashed, a destructive storm appeared on his raised right fist. While it howled in all directions, it was far more powerful than Wang Baole's Flame Snatch Thearch Armor!
It smashed into the ice on the right side of the palace, but it was like a stone ox falling into the sea. Only a muffled boom could be heard, and the ice didn't change in the slightest. In fact, not even a single crack could be seen.
Wang Baole was getting very anxious. He prepared to punch again. However, as soon as the ice absorbed the power of his punch, a violet bolt of lightning appeared within the transparent layer of ice. It danced through the ice and then exploded in front of Wang Baole.
A boom rang out, and Wang Baole's body shook violently as he was sent tumbling backward by the lightning bolt. He retreated about three hundred meters before he finally regained his footing. When he looked up, the palace and the ice were still there, and the violet bolt of lightning had faded away. However, Wang Baole's heart was still pounding with fear. What he had just seen was a warning. If he had continued to attack, he would have been in mortal danger.
"What a stingy bastard!" Wang Baole looked at the right palace, and the unwillingness in his heart grew more intense. He was well aware that the reason the right palace hadn't opened was most likely because his status or Cultivation base wasn't high enough.
"Unless I'm a Dao Child …." Wang Baole stood there, thinking for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes glittered, and a strange expression filled his face as an idea popped into his mind.
"I might not be a Dao Child, but I do have an arm that seems to belong to a Dao Child …." Having reached this point in his train of thought, Wang Baole took a deep breath and then pulled out the skeletal Divine Weapon from his bag of holding. He rotated the power of his Cultivation base and poured it into the severed arm, causing it to instantly explode with an intense glow and energy.
Almost as soon as the aura exploded out from the severed arm, Wang Baole watched nervously as the right palace trembled. However, after a moment, there was no reaction.
"Is the aura emanating from the skeletal arm not enough?" Wang Baole frowned. After some thought, he came to the conclusion that it wasn't that it wasn't enough, but rather that the connection between him and the skeletal arm wasn't perfect.
Having reached this point in his train of thought, Wang Baole's eyes filled with determination. He gave up on pouring his Cultivation base into the arm, and instead sat down cross-legged and began to reforge the Thearch Armor!
Reforging the Thearch Armor wasn't difficult. The difficult part was that in order to unleash the true power of the Thearch Armor, he had to add in the Flame Snatch. That was the result of Wang Baole's research.
The Flame Snatch required a large amount of life force, and that was something that Wang Baole didn't have at the moment. However, he was confident that he could refine the Thearch Armor. That was indeed the case. With his previous experience, Wang Baole only took half a month to successfully create numerous illusory blood-colored meridians within his body.
These Qi passageways were the first layer of the Thearch Armor. Although they were still far from the Flame Snatch Thearch Armor, they could still be used to connect the skeletal arm.
Very quickly, under Wang Baole's control, the extended meridians entered the skeletal Divine Armament. After that, without hesitation, he unleashed his cultivation again, following the meridians and surging into the skeletal Divine Armament.
At the same time, the aura of the Divine Skeletal Arm was also stimulated at this moment!
The moment the aura appeared … the right palace trembled, and the cold voice that had been there before echoed out once again!
"The status of Dao Child has fulfilled the requirements of shouldering the mission of rebuilding the Dao Palace. You may open a second Spiritual Temple and obtain good fortune!"
