Chapter 93 – Breakthrough: Primordial Martial Realm Cultivator!
by spirapira【Great Xia’s leadership hurriedly convened an emergency meeting. Even Heavenly King-stage powerhouses needed to eat, and if the supply lines for provisions were cut, the frontline situation would absolutely become dire.】
【You stepped forward at this moment, declaring that you could refine a type of pill called the Fasting Pill — a single pill would allow a Master-stage Class User to go an entire month without eating.】
【After the meeting, you wasted no time refining a batch of Fasting Pills. Your alchemy skills were exquisite, and refining unranked pills like the Fasting Pill was child’s play for you.】
【Combined with your Dual Focus technique, you could refine one to two thousand Fasting Pills in a single day. In less than half a month, you had resolved the frontline supply crisis.】
【After weathering this crisis, your voice among humanity’s leadership grew ever more important. Many times when the frontline encountered emergencies, the generals would seek your counsel.】
【One day, you suddenly recalled that the treasuries across Great Xia still held a considerable number of spirit herbs. You drew illustrations of these herbs and ordered some subordinates to retrieve them for you.】
【Holding onto a sliver of hope, in addition to Essence Nurturing Grass and other spirit plants, you specifically drew the likeness of the Spirit-Gathering Flower, hoping that Great Xia’s treasuries might contain this particular plant.】
【A week later, you received several thousand spirit plants from across Great Xia. These were enough to produce several thousand more Grandmaster-stage Class Users for humanity, as well as over a hundred Heavenly King-stage powerhouses.】
【But among the spirit herbs they brought, there were still no Spirit-Gathering Flowers.】
【Just as disappointment began to set in, a Heavenly King-stage powerhouse suddenly told you that he had once seen this flower before — and that they had covered the mountains and fields, Spirit-Gathering Flowers as far as the eye could see.】
【Your heart surged with joy, and you hurriedly asked this Heavenly King-stage Class User where he had seen the Spirit-Gathering Flowers.】
【He pondered for a long while before finally recalling that he had seen them inside the Luotian Assembly dungeon. At the time, he had entered the dungeon and, viewing events from Luo Xiaochuan’s perspective, had seen the rear mountains of the Luotian Sect blanketed with Spirit-Gathering Flowers as far as the eye could see.】
Su Xing’s expression shifted rapidly as he read this — from hope back to disappointment.
“What a shame. Forget mountains and fields of Spirit-Gathering Flowers — even if there were just a few hundred plants, I’d never have to worry about spiritual energy again…”
Su Xing let out a sigh and murmured, “Too bad they’re inside the Luotian Assembly dungeon. That dungeon is just a time-loop instance after all — nothing but a reflection in water, a flower in a mirror. You can’t obtain any real benefits from it. Even if you see Spirit-Gathering Flowers covering every hillside, you can’t bring them out…”
Su Xing felt it was a pity, but he understood that Spirit-Gathering Flowers were hard to come by. Since there was a lead on Spirit-Gathering Flowers within the Luotian Assembly dungeon, it was indeed worth investigating.
“Oh well. Next simulation, I’ll go explore the Luotian Assembly dungeon…”
Going personally was out of the question — entering the Luotian Assembly dungeon would attract attention and carried a certain degree of risk.
And when it came to risky endeavors, Su Xing categorically refused. His guiding principle was, and always had been, playing it safe!
After a moment of deliberation, Su Xing continued the simulation.
【After learning that you temporarily couldn’t obtain Spirit-Gathering Flowers, you felt inevitably dejected, but you quickly rallied and began refining a new batch of pills.】
【You refined the spirit herbs collected from treasuries across Great Xia into pills, adding another wave of Grandmaster-stage and Heavenly King-stage powerhouses to Great Xia’s ranks.】
【Once the refining was complete, you devoted yourself to tempering your body and refining Mind-Condensing Pills.】
【In the thirteenth year, Luo Shuying brought devastating news — her homeworld had been invaded by foreign races. A colossal beast had descended, and the entire world was destroyed.】
【Fortunately, you had made preparations in advance. Although Luo Shuying’s homeland could not escape catastrophe, you had evacuated many of her clanspeople and their strongest fighters beforehand.】
【You learned that Luo Shuying belonged to a special race — the Spirit Clan. Those Spirit Clan members who escaped with their lives all came to Earth, joining the fight against the foreign beasts.】
【That year, you continued to train diligently. Over the course of the year, you refined over a hundred furnace-loads of Mind-Condensing Pills, producing two to three hundred pills in total. Your alchemy skills improved rapidly.】
【In the fourteenth year, you consumed Mind-Condensing Pills daily, and your divine sense grew at an astonishing rate. In just one year, the range of your divine sense expanded to a full three three hundred thirty meters!】
【With a single thought, every blade of grass and every tree within a thousand-meter radius fell within your perception. The sensation was profoundly mysterious. Your divine sense had already surpassed the limits of the Nascent Soul stage, approaching the Spirit Transformation stage.】
【That same year, you discovered that Mind-Condensing Pills also provided a modest boost to Class Users’ strength. This enhancement was subtle and gradual — a Heavenly King-stage powerhouse consuming one Mind-Condensing Pill every seven days could increase their strength by roughly ten percent over a month.】
【You distributed several hundred Mind-Condensing Pills, hoping to help a group of Heavenly King-stage Class Users advance to the Martial Emperor-stage.】
【Unfortunately, you failed. Although the dozens of Heavenly King-stage powerhouses who took the Mind-Condensing Pills grew considerably stronger, they still fell well short of the Martial Emperor-stage threshold.】
Su Xing nodded slightly at this and murmured, “Perhaps not all pills are suited for Class Users. After all, pills are specifically designed to enhance a cultivator’s power. Being lucky enough to find pills like the Primordial Martial Pill and Essence Nurturing Pill that can boost Class Users and help them advance is already good fortune…”
After a pause, Su Xing thought further, “But among three hundred and sixty types of pills, there are bound to be quite a few that are compatible with Class Users. No need to rush this…”
Su Xing continued the simulation.
【You were not discouraged, for you had plenty of time remaining. You could slowly uncover pills capable of enhancing Class Users’ strength, and even formulate a dedicated advancement plan for them.】
【In the fifteenth year, you continued your daily regimen of body tempering and divine sense cultivation, while constantly studying and refining your Mind-Condensing Pill technique.】
【Over the course of the year, your divine sense expanded to three hundred and one hundred and sixty five meters. You seemed to be approaching the bottleneck of Nascent Soul stage divine sense, and the Mind-Condensing Pills were growing less effective.】
【On one occasion, you made an unexpected discovery — Mind-Condensing Pills had a remarkably pronounced effect on the Spirit Clan’s strength. The Spirit Clan possessed unique constitutions; often, consuming just a few Mind-Condensing Pills would yield a dramatic improvement.】
【You produced several hundred Mind-Condensing Pills. These pills added dozens of Heavenly King-stage powerhouses and three Martial Emperor-stage powerhouses to the Spirit Clan’s ranks. Even Luo Shuying’s strength surged enormously after taking your Mind-Condensing Pills, bringing her to the verge of the Legendary-stage!】
Su Xing felt a wave of pleasant surprise. He hadn’t expected that Mind-Condensing Pills would be extraordinarily effective on the Spirit Clan — even Luo Shuying’s strength had made tremendous progress.
A Legendary-stage powerhouse — that was an existence above the Martial Emperor, truly among the tiny handful of people standing at the absolute pinnacle of human strength.
“Perhaps, once the Mind-Condensing Pills’ effect on my divine sense becomes limited, I can give the surplus pills to the Spirit Clan…”
Su Xing rubbed his chin in thought.
【In the sixteenth year, you continued your daily body tempering and divine sense cultivation. Your divine sense grew further, its range approaching four three hundred thirty meters. Your physique also grew steadily stronger under the continuous nourishment of Demonic Beast Blood Essence.】
【That same year, you suffered multiple assassination attempts from the Advent Cult and foreign races. Fortunately, Luo Shuying and other powerhouses were there to protect you. Still, the repeated attacks made you even more cautious. You minimized unnecessary outings and focused entirely on advancing your cultivation and alchemy.】
【In the seventeenth year, the last piece of Condensing Wood in your possession was fully depleted. Years of dedicated research into Mind-Condensing Pills had yielded rapid progress — your Mind-Condensing Pill technique had nearly reached Minor Mastery-level. Unfortunately, there was not enough Condensing Wood left for you to continue honing your craft.】
【You therefore set aside your Mind-Condensing Pill research and devoted more energy to advancing your Body Tempering cultivation. As the vital energy within your body continued to grow, you could now consume one jin of Demonic Beast Blood Essence daily, slightly accelerating the pace of your cultivation.】
【In the eighteenth year, your physical body grew ever more complete. You felt that your bodily strength had doubled compared to when you first entered Organ Refining Realm, Grand Perfection. Your strength and constitution had made substantial progress.】
【You had a premonition that your body’s strength should be sufficient to break through to the Primordial Martial Realm, but you chose to play it safe and decided to wait another two years before attempting the breakthrough.】
【In the nineteenth year, the situation at Demon-Sealing Pass began to deteriorate. More and more demonic beasts and foreign races descended upon Demon-Sealing Pass. Humanity’s powerhouses suffered grievous casualties but managed to hold the line against wave after wave of enemy offensives.】
【As the frontline battle intensified, the number of slain demonic beasts grew ever greater, and the Demonic Beast Blood Essence available for your daily consumption became increasingly abundant.】
【In the twentieth year, your physical strength continued to improve at a slow pace, but even a full year’s progress might not yield a ten-percent increase in constitution. You understood — it was time to attempt the breakthrough to the Primordial Martial Realm.】
【You chose an auspicious day, informed the outside world that you were entering seclusion, prepared ample Demonic Beast Blood Essence and Primordial Martial Pills, and entered the Blessed Spirit Field.】
【You sat cross-legged in the thatched cottage, ensuring there would be no external disturbances. After adjusting your breath and condition to their peak, you produced a single Primordial Martial Pill.】
【You swallowed the Primordial Martial Pill. It dissolved into a warm current that flowed endlessly, nourishing every limb and bone in your body.】
【The pill’s medicinal power spread continuously through your body. Searing energy battered your flesh again and again, and you felt a faint, burning pain across every inch of your skin.】
【You quickly steadied your mind, pouring every ounce of focus into breaking through. Fortunately, years of consuming vast quantities of Blood Essence had given you astonishing physical resilience, and you managed to weather the Primordial Martial Pill’s most dangerous initial energy surge without incident.】
【Over the next three days, you fully assimilated the medicinal properties of that single Primordial Martial Pill.】
【Your physical strength had increased by fifty percent in just three days, yet you sensed this was still not your limit — you had not yet reached the Primordial Martial Realm. You termed this stage Half-Step Primordial Martial Realm.】
【Without hesitation, you swallowed a second Primordial Martial Pill. Its energy erupted within your body almost immediately — violent and immense, driving your physical strength ever higher.】
【Drawing on your experience from the first pill, you handled the assimilation far more smoothly this time. In just two days, your physical strength advanced yet another step.】
【You then swallowed a third Primordial Martial Pill. As your constitution continued to strengthen, you could now absorb the pill’s medicinal effects to their fullest extent.】
【You sat cross-legged, immovable as a mountain. As the pill’s power surged through you in continuous waves, your aura climbed steadily. You could feel yourself approaching a critical threshold.】
【Three more days passed in the blink of an eye. At a certain moment, your aura surged to its absolute peak, and in that very instant — you opened your eyes.】
【At the same time, you felt your body shatter some deeply entrenched shackle. The very essence of your life seemed to undergo a hidden, fundamental evolution.】
【You broke through successfully, becoming a Primordial Martial Realm cultivator!】
“Finally — I did it!”
Su Xing clenched both fists in excitement. Primordial Martial Realm cultivator — he had finally achieved it!
“I just don’t know how massive the improvement from Organ Tempering to Primordial Martial Realm actually is…”
Su Xing’s heart was racing.
Compared to Bone Forging, Organ Tempering had improved the internal — the organs and viscera. The actual increase in combat power hadn’t been enormous.
But Su Xing had a feeling that compared to Organ Tempering, the leap to the Primordial Martial Realm would be absolutely massive — nothing short of a complete rebirth!
Although Su Xing was already a Nascent Soul cultivator — which was equivalent to the Primordial Martial Realm on the Body Tempering track —
Body Tempering and Qi Refinement couldn’t be measured by the same standard. Without access to numerous spells and techniques, reaching Primordial Martial Realm in Body Tempering might provide an even greater boost than the Nascent Soul stage!
“More importantly, the simulation lacks spiritual energy, but Demonic Beast Blood Essence and Primordial Martial Pills are anything but scarce! That means my Body Tempering cultivation might see tremendous growth in the period ahead!”
Su Xing’s heart was pounding with excitement as he turned his gaze back to the simulation interface.
【After breaking through to the Primordial Martial Realm, you felt that your physical strength had more than doubled. Beyond the raw increase in power, your defensive capabilities had become truly formidable.】
【After a brief test, you discovered that even a blue-quality dagger could barely scratch your skin. This meant you were virtually immune to any damage a Gold-stage Class User could inflict!】
【Furthermore, you found that when you launched an attack, a thin layer of energy would envelop your body. This energy was different from spiritual energy — it was far more destructive, capable of inflicting a degree of damage to an object’s internal structure.】
【You did not know the origin of this energy, but you knew it was inseparable from the Primordial Martial Realm. And so you named it — primordial force!】
