Chapter 379: Chapter 377: Advancement Completed Lou Yi’s realm column. When he first entered the star body tempering technique, an option appeared: One-star Body Cultivator (0/600) Body cultivators practicing the star body tempering technique only train their physical body, not spiritual power, distinguishing strength by the number of star patterns. One star is equivalent to the early stage of Qi cultivation, two stars to the middle stage, three stars to the late-stage, and four stars to the early stage of Foundation Establishment... Since Lou Yi originally had no true blood talent, his cultivation speed in the star body tempering technique was inherently lacking. Even raising it to the proficient level, it was merely equivalent to a lower-grade spirit root at the Qi cultivation level, and breaking through to the two-star level would take ten to eight years. But when Lou Yi activated the petrification talent. He seemed to inherit the Monkey King’s talent from his memory completely, absorbing moonlight had become instinct. The star body tempering technique became thoroughly uncontrollable at this moment, a large amount of moonlight energy entering his body, causing his cultivation to grow rapidly! One-star Body Cultivator (0/600) → One-star Body Cultivator (128/600) → One-star Body Cultivator (366/600) → One-star Body Cultivator (600/600) → Two-star Body Cultivator (0/600) When breaking through to two-star Body Cultivator, equivalent to the middle stage of Qi cultivation. Lou Yi’s brain exploded with a ’boom’. As if the universe was newly born, a silver-white light appeared in his mind, gradually enlarging, finally turning into a miniature white ape. The white ape was only one foot long, had light white fur, a pointed snout, monkey-like face, appearing very cute. This was Lou Yi’s spiritual sense manifestation, two-star Body Cultivation was equivalent to the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and he developed his spiritual sense! Meanwhile, the moonlight infusion continued, Lou Yi’s cultivation level kept rising. Two-star Body Cultivator (0/600) → Two-star Body Cultivator (600/600) → Three-star Body Cultivator (0/600) → Three-star Body Cultivator (88/600) It continued to break through to three-star Body Cultivator, only then did the infusing moonlight stop entering Lou Yi’s body, as if the accumulation was fully consumed. The white ape’s body length broke through to a height of about ten feet. Covered with silver-white fur, shimmering with metallic light. Muscles became developed and swollen, facial expression fierce, with two elongated white tusks extending from the mouth corners. As he sensed the white ape’s presence, the falcon began to move. ’A screech!’ The falcon flew rapidly toward the white ape, eyes gleaming fiercely. Yet, unlike how it treated the black snake, it didn’t extend claws or beak for a bite, instead directly charged over! Seeing this, the white ape neither dodged nor avoided, also advancing toward the falcon. ’A bang!’ After they collided, a magical transformation occurred. As if they merged into one entity, indistinguishable! The falcon thoroughly devoured the white ape, its size expanding from thirty feet to thirty-four feet, while its originally gray-brown fur turned silverish brown. However, with Lou Yi operating the star body tempering technique. The falcon’s body changed, instantly transforming into a gray-white ape as tall as over thirty feet! "Roar!" The white ape fiercely beat its chest, howling toward the sky. Neither the falcon evolved by martial arts divine sense nor the white ape born from spiritual sense. They both belonged to Lou Yi’s divine soul energy, recognized as one entity. From now on, could interchange flexibly, indistinguishable. Also, with the falcon advancing to over thirty feet, its Qi-blood started to boil. The two produced immense attraction toward each other, hinting at a new transformation brewing? The quantity, however, was still insufficient, not triggering the condition. Lou Yi had a premonition, when divine sense and Qi-blood achieve a major breakthrough again, possibly astounding transformations would occur. By then, his power likely would undergo a qualitative change. The body cultivation breakthrough process seemed long, externally it was just a moment. As it was nighttime, only a few from the Corpse-Driving Sect noticed the anomaly at Disciple Peak, and upon looking again, it had already vanished. The gray haze became helpers in concealing Lou Yi’s anomaly. Lou Yi’s metamorphosis was complete, massive transformations occurred within him. Skeleton turned a light silver, covered in intricate lines. Resembling Magical Artifacts refined by cultivators, possessing some special effects. Blood also turned silver-red, even true strength became a purple-silver hue. In his chest, three octagonal star light patterns appeared, indicating his identity as three-star Body Cultivator. Equivalent to Qi cultivation’s late-stage, muscle strength could compare to a top-grade Magical Artifact. Lou Yi operated the star body tempering technique. Next moment, lines on his silver skeleton began to rapidly traverse, emitting light, muscle strength rapidly growing. ’Splitting Mountain’ also deployed simultaneously, Qi-blood surged, body strength concentrated in one point, then punched fiercely forward! ’Boom!’ Tangible numerous sparks and electric arcs generated, white airflow scattered in all directions, diluting surrounding haze significantly. 180,000 pounds. Lou Yi privately assessed his strength at this time. Initially, his basic strength was 130,000 pounds, now adding the power boost from body cultivation, it rose to 180,000 pounds! Combined with the ’Dragon Piercing’ secret technique, exceeding 200,000 pounds was effortlessly achievable. Amplifying with ’Soul Devouring’ and ’Blood Feeding Spirit Transformation Technique’, it would substantially exceed the previous limit of 370,000 pounds... Based on current strength, when confronting Wang Wenbai’s talisman treasure. Shouldn’t be embarrassedly pinned to the ground like before, at least able to fight evenly matched! With Elder Wang, a true Foundation Establishment cultivator, although still quite a distance, it also provided Lou Yi a glimpse of true resistance hope. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 Lou Yi looked at the realm of body cultivation—Three-star Body Cultivator (88/600). A prompt appeared above: Star body tempering technique proficiency, one point of proficiency every hundred days. So slow? Lou Yi exclaimed in surprise. If at this speed, wouldn’t it take him 150 years to advance to four-star Body Cultivation? He pondered for a while, beginning to operate the petrification talent. The next moment, the prompt changed: Star body tempering technique proficiency, one point of proficiency every ten days. Ten days, that’s not impossible to accept. Equating to merely fifteen years to elevate from beginner to late-stage Qi cultivation to Foundation Establishment level. Faster than upper-grade true blood talent, also no bottleneck in advancement. The progress of Body Cultivation rapidly surpassing Magic Cultivation, second only to martial arts cultivation. But merely this wasn’t enough. The threat of Foundation Establishment cultivators resembling the Sword of Damocles, suspended overhead, leaving Lou Yi with no sense of safety. Until one day confronting Foundation Establishment genuinely, he wouldn’t be at ease. Nearly digesting all gains from the cave dwelling.’s journey. Lou Yi began thinking about the next step, how to avoid Foundation Establishment cultivators’ malice, protecting himself. Currently could only completely hide within the sect. In the sect, Elder Wang couldn’t fully control; there were elders like Elder Bi stronger than him, and the even more enigmatic Corpse-Driving Sect Leader Three Corpses Daoist... But this wasn’t a long-term plan. Lou Yi’s current cultivation is Qi Cultivation Third Level. According to the sect’s latest regulation, third level cultivators need to participate in tasks, earning contributions for the sect. If tasks are not completed within a year, he would lose his status as a sect disciple, being expelled from the sect alike. Can only shrink for a year, then must go out to perform tasks. Meaning he needs to, within a year, elevate cultivation to contend with Foundation Establishment cultivators! Even possessing the Attribute Panel, such a task was almost impossible. But Lou Yi wouldn’t just wait to die, began contemplating, seeking possible vitality. ...
