“I can’t believe it turned out to be the Yin-Yang Grinding.” Tang Luo, who had recovered from pain, felt drained, without a shred of energy, and all he wanted to do was to lie motionless in the Spirit Garden.
His heart was swelling with excitement, but his body could not express this overjoyed emotion because the Yin-Yang Grinding – a divine technique – was of utmost importance to him, as a forging body martial artist.
Each stage of the martial way aims for evolution, especially realms beyond the Mortal Realm, where every stage represents a significantly different life form.
The body, originally molded from flesh and blood, will gradually lean toward Spirit Qualification, with humanity transforming from carbon-based to spirit-based life forms. It is not just about bodily strength; more importantly, only the qualified spirit body can nurture a complete divine soul.
Reaching the realm of Human King, where man and god become one, abiding by nature.
Regardless of how excellent a martial artist may be, there will always be many uncertainties in the process of body spirit qualification. Many people spent their whole lives stuck at the peak of the Fierce Realm because they could not fully qualify spiritually even to their last breath.
They were still unable to break through to the Human King realm when they began losing spiritual power and slowly dying.
This is why after a thousand years of prosperous martial arts, the number of warriors in the King Realm remains scarce.
But now with Yin-Yang Grinding, no matter how strong Tang Luo’s body might be, it could be refined to the most optimized state.
It means that as long as Tang Luo could strengthen his divine soul, he would not have to worry about the process of body spirit qualification. His biggest concern had been that it would be difficult for a strong body to qualify spiritually, because the god-soul’s modification of the body would be slow. But now, with Yin-Yang Grinding, he could break through without restraint, not even worrying if the Undying Battle Body were refined to top level, about the potential risks of having an overly strong body.
The appearance of Yin-Yang Grinding encouraged him greatly, but he still needed to sleep first. The pain from his stomach rupturing from within had drained all his energy. A wave of fatigue, a feeling he hadn’t felt in a long time, prevented him from concentrating on thinking.
The black and white giant grindstones within his body continued to rotate, even as its host fell into a deep sleep.
When Tang Luo opened his eyes again, the “sun” within the underground palace had extinguished, the light from the Realm Heart dissipated. Only the divine light from the Ling medicine filled the palace, a breath-taking sight.
The strong youth who had just woken up tried to introspect to get a good look at the legendary Innate Yin-Yang Grinding Mill, but before his spiritual consciousness could reach the grindstone, he was stunned by the current state of his stomach.
A normal human stomach, in its regular state, is similar to a large pink bean, hanging in the abdomen. However, Tang Luo’s stomach was unlike anyone else’s. This difference even overturned his understanding of what a stomach should be.
His stomach now was composed of “stomachs” the size of fingernails. Each of these stomachs was an empty void. Each void could act as his stomach, but was also more than just a stomach. It could serve as a pocket, but placing and removing items required passing through Tang Luo’s esophagus.
Each Void Stomach was only the size of a thumb, but it had the capacity of a small room. These 999 Void Stomachs were equivalent to 999 small rooms. For Tang Luo, these Void Stomachs were of significant value as he realized a great opportunity.
With his superior five-element spirit array, constantly producing Innate Qi to enhance his body, and possessing Yin-Yang Grinding, if he insisted on piling up with Ling medicine and herbs, he could quickly reach the top rank of the Undying Battle Body and open the five Divine Storages.
According to his current consumption, even with the Innate Qi, he didn’t seem to have any advantages because his wonderful body did not appear to have an edge in generating Innate Qi through the Five Elements Spirit Array. Contrary to his judgement, the Five Elements Spirit Array did not produce Innate Qi a ten million times faster than usual, but at its own pace, nurturing the body with thin threads of Innate Qi.
Now Tang Luo had two choices. Either he could use all the remaining time to stack up the Undying Battle Body, which, according to his current consumption level, would mean the consumption of herbs would be between 800,000 to 900,000 for the fourth rank.
For third rank Undying Battle Body, the consumption lay between eight million to nine million. For the second rank Undying Battle Body, the consumption was between eighty million to ninety million.
That is to say, even exhausting the entire hundred thousand acres of the Ling garden would not be enough to boost the Undying Battle Body to the first rank. If this judgement held, it would probably need eight to nine hundred million spirit grasses to do so.
Even for the composed Tang Luo, his expression at this moment unintentionally became a little gloomy.
“Brother, are you there?”
As Tang Luo was deep in thought, there was a faint call from the connecting place of the multi-level palace, the voice of the young boy.
Tang Luo glanced down at his bare and exposed figure, wrapped a scroll around him and replied, “I’m here!”
While it was originally just a response underground, it sounded as if a giant bell echoed inside his body. The heavy words vibrated in the hollow underground, shaking the divine lights from the spiritual medicine floating in midair incessantly. The echoing filled the entire palace.
This was the result of reinforcing the spleen and stomach; his voice was like a large bell.
The young boy covered his ears, taken aback by the loud sound. It took him a while to recover before he complained, “Brother, can you not talk like that?”
Tang Luo stood up with the scroll wrapped around him and flashed towards the corridor. His muscular figure standing on the ground of the fifth floor, almost three meters tall, was like a human weapon. He could communicate with the boy on the half-floor just by standing there.
“What’s up?” Tang Luo asked casually. He specifically used oral resonance to speak, so he wouldn’t trigger the bell-like effect.
Although the sound changed slightly, it was significantly better than the previous resonant bell sound shaking the whole floor.
Looking at Tang Luo’s burgeoned physique, the boy was almost unrecognizable. He swallowed and asked, “Does practicing the Undying Battle Body turn your body into this?”
He had seen the silver battle patterns on Tang Luo’s upper body. These were the traces of the Undying Battle Body. The thought of also practicing the Undying Battle Body made him anxious because he didn’t like this exaggerated physique.
Tang Luo furrowed his eyebrows and looked down at himself, not seeing any problems and replied, “You think it’s easy to practice to this extent? If you haven’t immersed yourself in the Undying Battle Body for half your life, you can’t achieve my current effect.”
Before he came down, he had asked them to pick weapons and armor on the first level and then go to the third level to practice secret techniques.. He wondered if something unexpected had happened or if they had any questions, so he asked, “Did you come to find me because there’s something wrong?”
