Chapter 82 (1/2)

Translator: Radiant  Editor: Radiant

There were two different methods usually used for stepping into the realm of Transcendents – one was through body transcension while the other was through the Qi transcension!

Many pseudo-Transcendents were fortunate… and were able to borrow external forces to aid them in transcending their fleshy body. Only one out of ten would succeed. Even when they succeeded, their Qi cultivation still remained at the Legend level and could not compare with a true Transcendent in terms of combat power. At the very most, they would only rank within the top 500 of the Dragon Mountain Book. Despite that, many Legend rankers would still carry on despite the danger, risking their lives in gambling for attainment.

That was because the moment they became a pseudo-Transcendent, their lifespan would prolong! Facing the more powerful Legend rankers, even if they could not win, they could still escape through the skies – flying away.

‘According to legends, the second awakening of one’s Primordial Bloodline could allow one to step into the realm of Transcendence,’ Xue Ying silently thought to himself, ‘It’s a pity that this is really too difficult.’

Within the memoirs of Lei Zhen, there were several mentionings about the second awakening of the Primordial Bloodline.

The first awakening would allow one to dominate amongst the mortals.

As for the second awakening… only attaining it would one have the elegance of a primordial being.

One must know that a primordial being had the capabilities to rival the strongest true deities! However, the traces of any Primordial Bloodline found within mortals were too thin, and people with even the first awakening were a rare-find. For one to even have a second awakening… nothing detailed was mentioned within Lei Zhen’s memoirs. But Xue Ying could infer from the context that such a second awakening was really difficult.

‘I am currently trapped here within the underground Great Hall of Black-Wind Deity Palace and do not have any other way. The only path I could take is the most ordinary one – Qi transcension.’ Xue Ying thought to himself.

The moment one’s Qi underwent transcension, this Transcendent-type Qi would inevitably seep within the fleshy body, bones, viscera and mind, creating a body transcension along it.

This path of transcending…

Was the safest out of the two.

Like those pseudo-Transcendents, under the condition of being stuck at the bottleneck in breakthroughs, they would utilise some external force in reforming their own fleshy body. Especially during the process where one reformed his brains, nine out of ten would die from the process. Only a small number of these people would succeed in becoming a pseudo-Transcendent, prolonging their lifespan.

“Hu~~”

Xue Ying sat cross-legged on the smooth ground within the Great Hall. The energy of the Universe Flame entered into his body and into his Dantian Qi sea.

Within the Dantian Qi Sea, a small round ball was seen rotating about.

This was precisely the True Dan formed after a Legend ranker’s Qi fully agglomerated into a materialisation.

“I must continuously cultivate and polish this lump of True Dan before there can be a qualitative change within it. Only when a strand of Transcendent Qi appears within the True Dan can the transcension of all the Legend Qi occur.” Xue Ying felt quite vexated, “Cultivating and polishing… a qualitative change…”

There were no shortcuts for this road.

Many Legend rankers, including the transformed beast Xiang Pang Yun and the top 50 genius monsters noted in the Dragon Mountain Book were all trapped within this bottleneck for a long period of time, trying their best to cultivate and polish their True Dan until the day that they could transcend!

‘I’ve attained the realm of Myriad Existences, and also comprehended the mystery behind the Fire of Myriad Existences.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘My Qi is also that of a flame Qi… and I have the spiritual liquid transmuted by the Stone of Oceanic World. All of these should allow me to step into Transcendence at a faster pace.’

The probability of an ordinary Legend ranker stepping into Transcendence was really low.

And those who were able to comprehend the Realm of Myriad Existences were all ranked within the top 50 of the Dragon Mountain Book, and usually had a higher chance of transcending! Most of those who comprehended the Realm of Myriad Existences were over a century in years, with Xue Ying being just 22. Thus, he had plenty of time and could be said to be certain of transcending. The only variable was how long he would take, ten years? Fifty years? One hundred years? Nobody was able to predict it!

“Being anxious is useless.”

“Calm down. Let’s do it slowly step by step.” Xue Ying sat cross-legged as he slowly absorbed the energy from the Universe flame, slowly cultivating the Qi True Dan within his body.

…

Time is merciless.

On top of the Snowrock mountain, the cycle of melting and reforming of snow had happened over and over again. The trees, flowers and grasses on top of it had withered and flourished over and over again…

Before Xue Ying fell into the Black-Wind Abyss, the name of Lord Xue Ying was well known. Within the entire Tranquil Sun province, and including places outside of it, discussions were made regarding him.

But regardless of how genius an monster was, a dead genius would lose his title as a genius.
