Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

Yang Chan, however, showed little sign of strain. His breathing was as steady as ever, as if the high-speed movement had cost him nothing.

The benefits from the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Skill and his other Health Cultivation Techniques were numerous. Take Yang Chan’s terrifying Recovery Power, for example. The immense energy consumption had no effect on him, as he was already recovering during the process of exertion.

No one could outlast Yang Chan in a battle of attrition. Even a Blood Exchange Martial Saint would be forced to concede defeat. As for those who had broken through the Human-God Boundary, Yang Chan wasn’t so sure, because that involved a massive metamorphosis.

According to Black Dragon, it was a qualitative transformation from human to Divine Spirit, which made it difficult to judge.

However, within the Body Tempering Stage, Yang Chan was confident that no one’s recovery ability could surpass his.

"Strike!"

Yang Chan continued to command the Taiyuan Sword, pressing the attack.

The Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull’s aura had weakened considerably, and Yang Chan certainly wasn’t going to give it time to recover. He had to use this window to make the beast understand the vast gulf between their strengths and, more importantly, achieve his objective.

Rather than waste more time on the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull, Yang Chan much preferred to spend it searching for Spirit Medicines, particularly the Top Level Spiritual Materials. That was what he was really after.

As for the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull, in his eyes, it was merely a ’tool.’ He just needed to make good use of it and ensure it didn’t die outright. This would allow him to linger longer in this thundercloud-filled Trial Land and gather more Spiritual Materials. That was what a ’tool’ was for.

"ROAR!"

Sensing the danger, the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull tried the same trick again, its giant, lightning-wreathed horn rising to meet Yang Chan’s Taiyuan Sword.

"CRACK!"

The massive horn was severed by the Taiyuan Sword, revealing its true silver color.

"ROAR!"

The Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull felt its power draining away and roared in a mixture of panic and fury.

"Strike again!"

Yang Chan paid the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull no mind. Under his control, the Taiyuan Sword once again aimed straight for the beast’s eyes.

"WHINE!"

The Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull twisted its body, but its flesh was pierced regardless. The Taiyuan Sword ran straight through its eyes. An instant later, the beast felt unending agony and began to howl ceaselessly.

The entire exchange was brief. Now, the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull was utterly panicked, unsure where to flee. Suddenly, it sensed a malevolent presence and charged straight for it.

It was heading for the exact spot where Yang Chan had just repositioned himself.

’Just as I expected. Even without their sight, these Exotic Beasts can still pinpoint my location.’

"Where is the nearest location with abundant Spiritual Qi?"

Yang Chan asked, looking at Black Dragon.

’The Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull is handled. It’s no threat for now. Next, I’ll proceed as planned and continue searching this dimension for Spirit Medicines.’

’If I had just killed the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull, I would have already passed this stage of the trial.’

"About seven hundred meters to your right, Master, the Spiritual Qi is extremely dense. It must be the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull’s lair!"

Black Dragon pointed out the nearest location.

These Exotic Beasts tend to live in places with abundant Spiritual Qi. This place, with its sky of endless thunderclouds, was particularly strange, but some basic principles remained the same.

As Exotic Beasts grow, they consume these Spirit Medicines and Spiritual Materials to enhance their strength. They especially need more energy when advancing to a new level, making these items the perfect choice. Thus, it’s common to find rare Spiritual Materials near places with abundant Spiritual Qi, ready for use at a critical moment.

Yang Chan strode over and, sure enough, found a small Medicinal Field. Stalks of Spirit Plants grew there, and though they grew wild, the dense Medicinal Qi they emitted was incredibly refreshing.

It was all good stuff.

Some of the Spirit Grasses even sparkled with lightning, having clearly absorbed this dimension’s Thunder Attribute and now containing the power of thunder and lightning.

"There are quite a few Top Level Spiritual Materials! These should be just right for you, Master!"

Black Dragon observed the Spirit Medicines. There was a generous amount, especially the Top Level Spiritual Materials.

"This Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull must have been close to advancing, which is why there are so many Spiritual Materials. Their Medicinal Properties are also quite good. It was probably preparing for its Third Bone Marrow Cleansing, hence the large accumulation!"

"But it’s perfect. All its hard work has now benefited you, Master. If the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull had been allowed to advance, passing this level of the trial would have been much harder for you!"

Even Black Dragon was a bit surprised by the quantity of Spirit Medicines here; there really was a lot.

But upon seeing the aura of the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull, he understood the reason.

The Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull’s Combat Power was considerable. It could still hold its own in a back-and-forth fight even after Yang Chan brought out the Taiyuan Sword, which was a testament to its strength.

In contrast, the Sand Giant Scorpion had been decapitated by a single strike from Yang Chan. The Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull’s ability to hold out for so long proved it was no simple beast.

If it had managed to advance to the Third Bone Marrow Cleansing and absorb even more Thunder Power, its strength would have undergone another qualitative leap. At that point, Yang Chan probably would have had to abandon the trial and meekly exit this dimension.

After such a qualitative transformation, the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull would be able to wield far more powerful Thunder Power, and its speed, strength, and other attributes would be enhanced across the board. Yang Chan might not have been able to outrun it then, leaving him no choice but to forfeit the trial.

Black Dragon sighed with some emotion.

"Come gather these Spirit Medicines. After we’re done, we’ll head to the next spot."

Yang Chan glanced at the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull, which was stuck behind a massive boulder but still trying to charge in his direction. ’Most creatures really are heavily dependent on their sight,’ he mused.

’Without vision, its Combat Power plummeted. For a creature like the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull, whose eyes were a source of its power, the effect was even more pronounced.’

’Before, it was an Exotic Beast that controlled lightning, its Combat Power immense. Now, it was just an instinct-driven creature charging mindlessly toward me.’

’Aside from its somewhat tough physical body, there was nothing special about it anymore.’

’Among Exotic Beasts of the same rank, it no longer had any remarkable traits. It probably wouldn’t even be a match for the Sand Giant Scorpion now.’

’Its Combat Power was almost completely nullified.’

"On it!"

Black Dragon replied quickly, paying no attention to the Thunder-Stepping Silver-Horned Bull behind them.

He let it roar in anger, seeing no need to pay it any mind.

’You could probably put it on a leash and walk it now.’

Thundercloud Rain Spirit Grass, Thunder Element Spirit Flower, Thunder-Perishing Lotus...

All kinds of Thunder Attribute Spiritual Materials were stored away by Yang Chan into his Profound Yin Hanging Bead. It was a bountiful harvest, with no shortage of Top Level and Superior Spiritual Materials.

’As expected of the Elite Trial Array, opportunities abound. As long as you’re careful, you’re guaranteed to get something out of it.’

’After all, the trial’s Exotic Beasts are never far from Spirit Medicines, Spirit Grasses, and other Spiritual Materials. If you just pay a little attention during the fight, you’re bound to notice them.’

’You could harvest the Spirit Medicines and Spirit Grasses first before completing the trial, or you could do what I’m doing: wander the Trial Land collecting all sorts of Spiritual Materials.’

’The only requirement is to keep the trial’s Exotic Beast in tow.’

’This requires a Superior Light Body Technique, as well as a high level of Cultivation. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to outrun the beast and would be forced to leave the Trial Land.’

Yang Chan was in the perfect position. He had everything he needed. He even had Black Dragon to point out the Exotic Beasts’ weaknesses and things to be wary of, allowing him to avoid a great deal of trouble and deal with the beasts without wasting too much time.

"This land is filled with endless thunderclouds and constant lightning. Thunder Power drifts freely in the air, imbuing all the Spirit Medicines in this dimension with the power of thunder."

"Only by absorbing the power of thunder can they survive and grow. Otherwise, they’d just be torn to shreds by the lightning!"

"But the Thunder Power within the Spirit Medicines here far surpasses that of ordinary ones."

"Even if this lightning isn’t entirely real, it still possesses considerable might, and as a result, the Thunder Attribute contained within the Spirit Grass is also quite potent."

"Coupled with the long-term accumulation, they’re actually far better than most normal Thunder Attribute Spirit Medicines!"

Black Dragon looked at the harvested Spirit Medicines. The Medicinal Qi within each stalk was incredibly dense, and he could even feel the Thunder Power on them as they were picked. They were all of truly Superior quality.
