Chapter 93 - Credit (1/2)
The new disciples read through the books in the library cave ravenously. For example, those who cultivated the Water Divine Body could choose from six transcendent-grade Godfiend formulas. Yan Jin—who cultivated the Icefire Divine Body—had four transcendent-grade Godfiend formulas to choose from: the Two World Divine Body, the Azure Lotus Divine Body, the Samsara Divine Body, and the Archean Divine Body.
The Archean Divine Body was created by Archean Mountain’s founder. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island also had transcendent-grade Godfiend formulas created by their founders.
Other powerful Godfiends from history created the nine other transcendent-grade formulas.
In terms of cultivation difficulty, there was no need to elaborate on the Dragon Divine Body and Phoenix Divine Body. It was easy once a bloodline was awakened, but without a bloodline, one wouldn’t be able to cultivate those Godfiend bodies.
There were ten remaining Godfiend bodies.
Great Strength Fiend Body, Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body, Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, Archean Divine Body, and Samsara Divine Body. These five Godfiend bodies were similar in difficulty in regards to cultivating them.
The Azure Lotus Divine Body, Indestructible Divine Body, Eon Sea Fiend Body, Black Sand Fiend Body, and Two World Divine Body were one level lower in difficulty, but their strength wasn’t much weaker. Therefore, more people chose the latter five Godfiend bodies.
…
However, Meng Chuan was not stumped.
There’s no need to choose high-grade Godfiend bodies. Mirage Fiend Body controls the enemy’s consciousness. Sanguine Divine Body’s cultivation is the most painful. The Myriad Poisons Fiend Body requires one to study various poisons. These aren’t suitable for me as a saber user.
Lightning Water Fiend Body, Wind Lightning Divine Body, and Phantom Fiend Body are too inferior to the two transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies. I can only choose from the two transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies. The Eon Sea Fiend Body is good at frontal assaults but is average when it comes to speed. I’ve been learning the swift saber from a young age, so how can I give it up?
That’s why I only have one option—the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body.
This suited him the best.
After making his decision, Meng Chuan continued reading the books. Reading could broaden one’s horizons.
For example, the Body Tempering Godfiend lineage was introduced in the books. The demons had started invading 800 years ago.
Humans realized that demons were generally stronger than humans in terms of physical bodies. Although human Godfiends were not inferior to demon monarchs in strength, their bodies were generally weaker.
Therefore, some powerful human Godfiends began attempting to create a Body Tempering Godfiend lineage. They wanted their bodies to match divine armaments and treasures, but these attempts had only gone on for a few centuries. The formulas were extremely incomplete. The theoretical limit was the Great Solar realm. Most people who were Body Tempering Godfiends failed to reach the Great Solar realm. Furthermore, one expended large amounts of treasures and resources. Therefore, the three large sects strictly prohibited inner sect disciples from becoming Body Tempering Godfiends. It was, at best, left to a few outer sect disciples as test subjects.
Godfiends had five realms. Meng Chuan saw a detailed description about Godfiends.
Core Cloud, Indestructible, Great Solar, Darkstar, and Incessant. Darkstar Godfiends are Marquis Godfiends. Incessant Godfiends are Regis Godfiends.
Core Cloud, Indestructible, Great Solar… There’s still a chance for someone to fight an opponent at a higher level at these three realms. However, it’s impossible for a Great Solar Godfiend to fight against a Darkstar Godfiend. It would be amazing if they came out alive. The difference between the two realms is too great. It’s very difficult to break through the Great Solar realm to the Darkstar realm. It’s even harder than becoming a Godfiend. Meng Chuan was very shocked when he read this.
The Great Solar realm was just too inferior to the Darkstar realm.
The difficulty of breaking through was ridiculously high.
There were very few Godfiends in the Great Solar realm. For instance, Fairy Meng, Yun Wanhai, and many other outer sect disciples would not be able to reach the Great Solar realm their entire lives. As for Archean Mountain’s inner sect disciples—as long as they didn’t die—most would become Great Solar Godfiends. However, only one in fifteen Great Solar Godfiends could become Darkstar Godfiends. The ratio of successful breakthroughs was simply too low.
Mortal Core Condensation experts had a low chance of breaking through because they didn’t have the chance to enter the Godfiend Blood Pool. If everyone had the chance to enter the Godfiend Blood Pool to challenge the Life-and-Death juncture, there would have been far more Godfiends.
In contrast, breaking through from the Great Solar realm to the Darkstar realm was just too difficult.
Essence Soul? Meng Chuan’s heart suddenly stirred.
Many thresholds obstructed one from reaching the Darkstar realm. One of them was the Essence Soul. Only by condensing an Essence Soul would one have a chance of becoming a Darkstar Godfiend. Otherwise, there was no hope for their entire lives. Many Great Solar Godfiends were stuck at this step.
What’s an Essence Soul? The book’s description is too vague. After reading the passage, Meng Chuan was filled with puzzlement. He continued to search for other books and read them.
