Time Manipulating System

Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Gu Yang’s realm had not advanced for a long time. His talent limited him, so he could not break through easily. He also wanted to keep tempering his foundation so that when he did break through, revisions would yield greater gains.

But now waiting no longer made sense. Xia Pingyi, the White Spirit Sect’s Second Elder, had put enormous pressure on him. If he did not break into Baoyuan, he would likely remain confined to the Chu imperial city forever. He refused to be trapped there; many matters still required his attention. A murderous light flashed in his eyes.

White Spirit Sect… I will remember you.

He drew a deep breath and cast aside all distractions. He flipped his palm; a Cold-Jade Snow Lotus dropped into his hand. Without hesitation, he focused his mind. Modify Cold-Jade Snow Lotus: time = one thousand years later.

whoosh!

Instantly, the lotus in his palm unleashed a towering chill. Its aura had become countless times purer. Gu Yang’s eyes brightened. He swallowed the lotus without hesitation. The snow lotus felt icy on his tongue, then transformed into a stream of refined energy that flowed down his throat, through his limbs, and finally into his dantian.

At that moment, Gu Yang felt his dantian as if it were being reshaped. He did not hesitate; he fully activated the Shen Gang Sword Art. He opened his technique completely. Countless spiritual energies surged toward him like a tide. The terrifying draw nearly emptied the spiritual energy within a hundred-mile radius above him in an instant.

Dense spiritual energy poured into his body, refined into pure true qi that flowed into his dantian. Thick true qi swirled and coalesced, yet it still failed to condense into true primordial energy. This had been the bottleneck he faced before…limited talent prevented the breakthrough.

This time, however, the situation changed. Through inner vision, Gu Yang saw a layer of frost attached to his dantian suddenly emit bone-chilling cold. That chill directly stimulated the dense true qi in his dantian to begin swirling and condensing. Gu Yang’s heart trembled. He continued to ravenously absorb and refine spiritual energy. As true qi kept pouring into his dantian, he clearly felt the true qi rapidly transform under the frost’s influence.

Time ticked by. Half a day passed. At dawn, Gu Yang sat calmly cross-legged; his dantian still radiated an astonishing suction. The sky’s spiritual energy around him had been almost completely absorbed.

Then a low, deep rumble erupted from his body.

rumble!

A terrifying aura burst forth from Gu Yang. He snapped his eyes open as the internal force exploded outward. A very pure strand of true primordial energy manifested above his palm.

Is this… true primordial energy?

Gu Yang exhaled slowly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He had broken through…Baoyuan, First Layer. After three days of relentless cultivation, he had finally felt the difficulty of breaking into Baoyuan: it required not only abundant spiritual energy as a foundation but also a certain level of innate talent to convert the dantian’s true qi into purer, more potent true primordial energy. Since he cultivated a lower-tier heavenly-grade technique, the difficulty had been even greater. Without the Spirit-Gathering Array behind him, he might have had to consume several mid-grade spirit stones. The array had saved him many such stones.

Indeed… the gap between True Primordial and Ningzhen is worlds apart.

Gu Yang felt the terrifying power contained in that true primordial energy…far stronger than his previous true qi by an unknown multiple. Even Bai Tianhong, Chu’s top prodigy, could not match his true primordial energy.

True primordial formed from a lower-tier heavenly technique is truly formidable. A smile crept across his face. If I meet Xia Pingyi again… I might have a chance to fight him. He clenched his fist, confidence blazing in his eyes.

But this is only the beginning. He inhaled deeply. The real show had just started. Now that he had broken into Baoyuan, opportunities to revise his techniques…cultivation methods, martial skills, body refinement, sword intent, and fist intent…had all refreshed. A sharp light gleamed in his eyes.

First, modify the body-refinement technique. After a moment’s thought, he decided. He focused his mind. Modify body-refinement technique “Cuiyuan · Earth Fiend Skill”: time = ten thousand years later.

boom!

The instant the modification succeeded, Gu Yang felt his body tremble. He sat cross-legged, and for a moment he felt as if he had practiced the Earth Fiend Skill for a full ten thousand years. Over that span, he had discovered its flaws and devised countless improvements. He ultimately perfected it and created a new body-refinement method…Devour-Primordial Condensing Method, a mid-tier heavenly-grade body technique. Its effect far surpassed the Earth Fiend Skill: it could devour the world’s primordial energy and condense it into part of the practitioner’s own body, achieving profound physical refinement.

Through continuous practice, his basic physical strength alone had skyrocketed to the power of a hundred jiaos. A hundred-jiao strength equaled the force of one dragon. His strength had become terrifyingly extreme. Facing Bai Tianhong now, he would not need sword intent…one punch would pulverize him. That was the domineering terror of one-dragon strength.

Ten-thousand-year body refinement… the increase is truly terrifying! Gu Yang’s face showed astonishment. Previously, even when he unleashed the Earth Fiend physique, he could only reach four-jiao strength. Now he had leapt to a hundred jiaos. One jiao equaled one million jin; a hundred jiaos equaled one hundred million jin of force. On Earth, that was an unimaginable power. He now possessed such fearsome strength and felt deeply moved.

Body refinement is nearly complete.

Next… the fist techniques. His eyes flashed with determination as he resumed his cross-legged position.

Gu Yang moved his mind and, without hesitation, began revising every fist technique he owned. He extended the modification time from the original one thousand years to ten thousand years.

rumble!

He felt explosions of thunder in his head as torrents of terrifying fist-dao knowledge flooded into his mind. So much. Too much. He scrambled to absorb it all.
