Heavenly Strength, a gentleman strives tirelessly with self-improvement, meaning heaven is nature, nature operates with strength and energy, and a gentleman should be like this, striving with determination, never stopping.
Earth's Position Kun, a gentleman should possess good virtues to embrace all things, the earth's stance is solid and smooth, and a gentleman should augment their virtues, embrace and encompass all things.
Qian Kun represents heaven and earth, nurturing the principles of yin and yang.
Lin Mo was silently reciting these two sentences at the moment, continuously strengthening his Dao Heart. The more firm his Dao Heart became, the stronger his willpower grew. Only with powerful willpower could he endure the endless pain brought by the quenching of dragon blood.
However, willpower does not equate to the physical body. No matter how formidable a person's willpower, if their heart is stabbed, they will die.
Willpower is intangible, untouchable and invisible, yet it is stronger than the physical body. The dragon blood continuously stimulated, continuously surged into the blood, continuously tempering the muscles, bones, and meridians. One could see Lin Mo's skin exuding dense blood pearls, turning him into a blood-covered person, and some of the skin on his body gradually couldn't withstand it and
split open, blood pouring out.
The Dongling World Lord frowned, looking at Lin Mo in such a state, evidently unwilling to stop absorbing the remaining dragon blood.
"Oh!" Suddenly, the East Tomb Realm General's eyes widened, murmuring with a glance fixed on Lin Mo's face. Lin Mo's face was originally tense with tight muscles, his brow furrowed, enduring immense pain, but now, although his body skin was splitting, blood flowing, enduring great pain, yet his facial muscles relaxed considerably, the corners of his eyes and brows
calmed significantly.
"What's happening? Could it be that he cannot feel the pain of the dragon blood tempering his body?" The Dongling World Lord was very surprised. How could he know that Lin Mo's Heart Realm had reached an 'Indomitable' and 'Gold Stone Becoming Firm' state, clearly feeling his physical pain, yet his Dao Heart was extremely resilient, instead immersing himself in the transformative pain to such a degree that the East Tomb Realm General was also amazed
.
"To accomplish great things, one's Heart Realm and Dao Heart must be united." The Dongling World Lord paused for a bit, then sighed, looking at Lin Mo with a trace of approval.
Absorbing dragon blood lasted for a full three days. During these three days, Lin Mo's skin split and healed, healed and split, repeatedly, as if suffering torture in hell.
But his Heart Realm became more determined in this pain. If a person feels pain, it means they are progressing; if they feel ease, it might indicate stagnation, or even regression.
The Dongling World Lord was stunned, for even within the Barbaric Demon Clan like the Green Bull Realm General, known for their formidable physical bodies, would struggle to fully digest and integrate dragon blood if consumed whole.
It could be said Lin Mo's willpower played a role in triggering his physical potential; otherwise, in such pain, an ordinary person's willpower would collapse, consciousness crashing as well, causing them to fall into a coma.
Phew!
Finally, on this day, Lin Mo opened his mouth, a long white fog spewed from within, dispersing only several feet ahead like an arrow.
Rumble! Lin Mo felt as if there was thunder within him, his muscles and bones rang in unison, his body shuddered furiously, and dried blood stains on his skin were instantly shaken off, although his body felt extremely tired, yet it was full of abundant strength.
"The power of dragon blood, indeed extraordinary."
Lin Mo looked with joy at his clenched fist, feeling an endless supply of strength within, with his physical strength once again elevated to another level. If he encountered the Green Bull Realm General, in close combat, he might not fall behind.
"I didn't expect you to actually absorb all the dragon blood. With such a firm will, you'll surely achieve great things in the future," the Dongling World Lord remarked with emotion.
"Dragon blood is so precious, I don't have the cultivation resources to squander like that, I can't waste it," Lin Mo said with a relaxed smile.
Like the Golden Rat, he hailed from a poor cultivation planet, with no great family to back him with resources; he had to rely on himself for everything. Having obtained dragon blood with great difficulty, Lin Mo was unwilling to waste it. "In fact, I should tell you, consuming dragon blood necessitates complementary elixirs to reduce the pain of ingesting it, though it would also lessen some effects of the dragon blood," the Dongling World Lord chuckled awkwardly, "I was just joking with you
, didn't expect you would dare to consume it directly."
"Dongling World Lord, even if you told me, I would still choose to take it raw. Under current circumstances, I don't have time to gather the elixirs, and I wouldn't want to reduce the effects," Lin Mo said nonchalantly.
The Dongling World Lord laughed heartily: "I never thought that you're quite stubborn, reminds me of my old self a little."
Consuming dragon blood took about four days. Next, it was time to prepare for consuming Evil Essence, to breakthrough the Fifth Transition Shura Realm. If time is used efficiently, it would take a month.
After that, Lin Mo took a few Nourishing the Primordial and Firming the Foundation elixirs, sat in meditation to regulate his breath. Once his body was almost recovered, he took out ten Evil Essence, each glowing red, emitting a Blood Evil Aura, floating in the air.
He opened his mouth and devoured an Evil Essence.
It was all done with familiarity and ease, the Evil Essence transformed into infinite Evil Qi, diffusing within his body!
"Oh!" Lin Mo was startled for a moment, clearly feeling the impact of the Evil Essence had weakened.
"No, it's not right, the energy of the Evil Essence hasn't decreased; it's because my body, having absorbed dragon blood, has become stronger, lessening the impact of the Evil Qi on me." Lin Mo quickly realized. This discovery delighted him immensely. This way, his body could withstand the Evil Essence required for the Fifth Transition Shura and even increase the speed considerably, initially estimating needing a month at the fastest. Now, it seems, it could be as little as half a month or as much as a week to consume ten Evil Essence.
The Evil Essence requires not only physical attributes but also tests the Heart Realm and Dao Heart of the cultivator.
Lin Mo had long prepared Four Symbols Jade Void Pill; this breakthrough to the Fifth Transition Shura Realm should be foolproof.
...
Just as Lin Mo was preparing to assault the Fifth Transition Shura, hundreds of miles away from the volcano, a white silhouette was continuously approaching the vicinity of the volcano, not quickly, but cautiously. This figure was Young Master Yan Bei; since entering this Secret Realm, he had detected Lin Mo's aura, following all the way but was wary of being discovered by Lin Mo, so he didn't dare follow too closely. Even when Lin Mo entered the dead volcano, during the four days of ingesting dragon blood, Young Master Yan Bei dared not approach.
"Lin Tanyu, what exactly is he planning to do?"
He had 'sniffed' Lin Mo's aura on this journey, discovering that Lin Mo didn't go treasure hunting; instead, he entered a dead volcano.
Young Master Yan Bei frowned, hesitated a moment, then opened his palm, revealing a fiery red elixir, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance in his palm. This 'Fire Breath Pill' was what Young Master Yan Bei had spent a fortune obtaining in Dragon Platform City, capable of concealing his own aura for a period of time, even a Realm Marquis strong enough wouldn't perceive it, serving as Young Master Yan Bei's method for preserving his life and escape.
