Volume 1 Chapter 23: Rebirth, Fearsome Pure Power

  "Body Refining Technique" is a technique that refines the physical body, tempering the flesh and blood, forging a strong and resilient physique. The ancestor of the Qin family had unexpectedly obtained it in the past, but because the requirements for cultivating "Body Refining Technique" were too high, it was eventually abandoned.

  Qin Xuan did not rush to cultivate after obtaining the "Body Refining Manual" but instead continued to solidify the purity of the mysterious energy within his body. In his initial view, the mysterious energy was more important than the physical body, but now when he opened the "Body Refining Manual", he found that he had been greatly mistaken.

  A high-intensity physical body is a hundred or thousand times more important than the mysterious energy. According to the "Body Cultivation Secrets", an extremely strong physical body can even forcibly tear through space, freely shuttling back and forth in space, with countless spiritual artifacts smashing against it being like scratching an itch. The mysterious energy, however, cannot achieve this.

  The relationship between the mysterious energy and the physical body's strength is also intricate. If we compare the mysterious energy to water, and the physical body to a container, then the physical body's strength is like the size of the container. The stronger the physical body, the more mysterious energy it can hold, and the purer it will be!

  "Give up cultivation and start all over again?"

  He furrowed his brow, and it took Qin Xuan half a day to finish reading the "Body Refining Secrets". What made him feel difficult was that in order to cultivate it, he had to disperse his entire body's cultivation and start over.

  Disperse all the cultivation on his body. If he can successfully cultivate again in the end, then so be it. But if not, it would mean that Qin Xuan has completely become a useless person.

  What's wrong?

  Looking at Galen, who was guarding him, Qin Xuan's mind involuntarily conjured up his father's increasingly aged face, Qin Long's eyes filled with frenzied killing intent, and the mocking expressions of Qin Yi and others...

  "It's all over!"

  Gritting his teeth, Qin Xuan's mind no longer hesitated. He closed his eyes and the cultivation method of "Xiū Shēn Jué" appeared in his mind. The mysterious energy within his body began to circulate irregularly.

  The first step is to use the body's innate vital energy to expel all impurities from the body, achieving a state of 'all-around clarity', which is the true meaning of refining the body.

  The second step is to thoroughly disperse the Xuan Qi inside the Dantian.

  The third step, also the most crucial one, is to reunite with the mysterious energy and forge an indestructible body!

  These three steps sound simple, but Qin Xuan spent a full three days just to find the key to the first step, and then another three days to truly master it, which shows just how difficult it was.

  Re-gathering the mysterious energy, Qin Xuan was like a big girl getting on the flower sedan chair for the first time, completely relying on his own speculation to act, constantly groping, without any impatience. As time passed, his physical density was being transformed with a perfect matching degree, and even his severed left arm seemed to be showing signs of healing.

  Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another half month has passed. Qin Xuan still sits cross-legged, like an old monk entering meditation, with a thick layer of black filth almost covering his body. A foul odor emanates from him, making people feel nauseous.

  Galen still stood there, motionless, his eyes occasionally glancing at the young man. If he hadn't detected the sound of breathing and heartbeat from him, he would have thought that something terrible had happened to the young man.

  Suddenly, the young man's body began to shake violently, and then a fierce and terrifying thick energy burst out of his body, like a flood bursting forth. Guren was caught off guard and was blown flying backward.

  Crash.

  It seemed like the sound of something shattering, Qin Xuan's eyes which were originally tightly shut suddenly opened wide, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, just like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, fleeting and gone in an instant. A thick and heavy aura burst forth from him, even the air around him seemed to stagnate for a moment, as if a ferocious beast that had been sleeping for a long time finally awakened.

  The entire cave is trembling for it!

  His body trembled slightly, shaking off the impurities on his skin. Only then did he discover that Qin Xuan's originally severed left arm had somehow regrown, its skin white and delicate, shining with a crystalline luster, like white jade, or the most exquisite work of art in the world, mesmerizing to behold.

  With a light leap, Qin Xuan suddenly soared high like a wild goose, feeling his body incredibly light, and then with the tip of his toes barely touching, he shot out like a cannonball, moving at an incredible speed, as if teleporting, leaving behind only a blurry afterimage on the spot.

  "Galain, catch this punch!"

  With a loud roar, Qin Xuan rushed back again, his fist flashing with white light swung fiercely towards Galen in front of him. The terrifying punch seemed to drain the air dry, and where the fist passed, a series of sonic booms rang out.

  At this, Galen couldn't help but laugh, and was just about to raise his sword to block, but when the fist approached, his face suddenly changed, and a sense of unprecedented crisis rose from the bottom of his heart.

  "For Demacia! Courage!"

  Without even having time to think, Galen's expression solidified, and three golden shields surrounded his body, as the energy within him poured unreservedly into the Sword of Justice.

  Hmph.

  A loud explosion, Galen flew out again, his whole body plunged into the stone wall, the sword of justice in his hand hummed, almost unable to hold on, and his three golden shields were shattered inch by inch, dispersing into the air.

  "This..."

  Qin Xuan gazed at the flying Galen, then lowered his head to look at his own fist, filled with astonishment in his heart, which later turned into excitement and finally ecstasy!

  "That's too exaggerated."

  Qin Xuan dared to swear that the punch just now, he didn't use any mysterious energy at all, which means that it was just an ordinary punch, yet it shattered Garen's strongest defense and even sent him flying!

  To know, Galen's strength has now reached the early stage of Qihai Mirror!

  Horror!

  This is Qin Xuan's only thought now, and his heart is filled with incredulity.

  "Is this the power of pure flesh?" Clenching his fists, Qin Xuan's eyes shone with a fierce light, and now he was fearless even in the face of Qin Yi!

  And his Xuan Qi had not only reached the 9th level of Body Refining again, but had also gone further, already being a complete and perfect 9th level Body Refining Mirror!

  "Congratulations to the host."

  Galen also walked over at this time, although he was shaken by the punch just now, but as a defensive powerhouse, he didn't suffer much damage. In his heart, besides being shocked by the boy's incredible progress in strength, he was also filled with joy.

  Qin Xuan's strength grew stronger, the benefits for these summoned heroes became greater, at least Garen felt that his physical strength had increased significantly.

  He nodded and looked at Galen with gratitude. If it weren't for Galen's help these days, he probably wouldn't have made it to where he is now.

  "Now I should have just stepped into the first heavy sky of 'Xiū Shēn Jué', shedding the mundane."

  After a moment of contemplation, Qin Xuan made an instant judgment. The "Xiū Shēn Jué" has six levels: the first level is to shed the mundane, the second level is to enter sainthood, the third level is to split one's body, the fourth level is to attain Nirvana, the fifth level is to transform into a god, and the sixth level is indestructibility.

  Each layer is extremely difficult to break through, and except for the first layer, every time you advance to the next layer of heaven, you will be punished by the heavens. It is said that this is the reason why the supreme divine spirit does not allow mortals to cultivate.

  "No wonder the old ancestor said that to cultivate the 'Body Refining Technique', one's physical body must be stronger than ordinary people." Shaking his head, Qin Xuan suddenly felt that the path he had chosen seemed to be getting more and more difficult.

  However, Qin Xuan soon let go, no matter how difficult it was again, as long as his conviction was firm, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he would eventually be able to overcome them.

  Even if there are thousands of gods and Buddhas blocking the way ahead, I'll just kill my way out and create a bloody path.

  "Let's go, I want to see what kind of ghost thing has been summoning me all along."

  With a faint smile, Qin Xuan took the lead on his horse, leading Galen into the dark and bottomless mountain cave. In the more than half a month of his cultivation, he had not heard that call in his mind for a moment.
