Chapter 695 -359: Hell Furnace, Physical Body Enhancement
“`
“The gap is too big!” Yuan Fei, having calmed the surging blood within his body, watched the composed Lu Yun with utter astonishment.
It should be noted that during Lu Yun’s absence, Yuan Fei had made rapid progress, often fighting on the battle platform, and defeating many who became official disciples sooner than him, as well as those whose realms were higher.
In his view, even if he couldn’t best Lu Yun, he should at least be able to exchange several dozen moves with him.
And now, with Lu Yun merely standing there, extending a palm, he was like a towering mountain that was difficult to shake.
“Among peers in the same realm, your strength isn’t bad compared to others, enough to make most disciples look up to you,” Lu Yun said. His words were not flattery but sincere praise.
From Yuan Fei’s previous attempts, it was evident that he could easily crush an average Celestial Human of the eighth layer. His strength couldn’t be said to be anything but formidable.
“Isn’t it still not enough to defeat you?” Yuan Fei, having recovered from his Great Ape Demon Body state, asked curiously, “Lu Yun, what realm have you reached now?”
“By some luck outside, I’ve barely entered the seventh layer of the Celestial Human Realm,” Lu Yun replied indifferently.
His realm was known to many, and Lu Yun had no plans to hide it.
However, once he mastered the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique, it would be hard for ordinary people to detect his true realm.
Yuan Fei laughed, “You freak, I’m never going to spar with you again; it’s just self-torture.”
Wei Xinhuh and Li Zhichang, standing to the side, were completely stunned to learn that Lu Yun had reached the seventh layer of the Celestial Human Realm and didn’t know what to say.
Both of them had diligently practiced without slacking off and had only just stepped into the third layer of the Celestial Human Realm.
Moreover, the accumulation they had relied upon up until now had mostly been depleted, and their progress would have to be step by step from now on.
With their innate talents, it would take at least seven or eight years to reach Lu Yun’s current realm.
Just the thought of hovering around the sixth or seventh layer of the Celestial Human Realm seven or eight years later, while Lu Yun became an elite disciple in the Unity Realm, made their expressions fall into melancholy.
Living under the same roof, why are you so remarkable?
Of course, they felt more surprise than anything else.
By forming a friendship with Lu Yun now, they hoped that once he became a core disciple or a senior official of Green Flame Palace, he would look after them out of past consideration.
Of course, they also understood that it was most important to rely on their own strength. Especially with less than two years left before the trial mission, they had to urgently increase their strength. Otherwise, should they fail the trial mission, the consequence would be demotion to an outer sect disciple at best, or death at worst.
Under such pressure, they had no choice but to devote all their time to the cultivation of their techniques and divine abilities.
After returning to his room, Lu Yun took out all the Pure Origin Pills he had exchanged from the Countless Treasure Tower, a total of thirty.
For an average person in the seventh layer of the Celestial Human Realm, thirty Pure Origin Pills would be enough for more than a year of cultivation.
In Lu Yun’s hands, these pills were refined in less than half a day, transforming into a large amount of Divine Power Value.
“Divine Power Value: 690 (increases automatically by 0.2 daily).”
“Upgrade.”
Several hours later.
Lu Yun had upgraded his newly acquired Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique to the state of Perfection.
At the thought, his aura changed and then rapidly reduced.
Celestial Human of the sixth layer.
Celestial Human of the fifth layer.
Celestial Human of the fourth layer.
Celestial Human of the third layer.
At this point, Lu Yun appeared to truly be in the third layer of the Celestial Human Realm; apart from those in the Entering Saint Realm or above, no one could see his true realm.
“After achieving Perfection in the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique, my consciousness has increased by about thirty percent—this is a pleasant surprise,” thought Lu Yun. He exerted all his Nascent Soul power, covering thirty li in his vicinity.
In battle, the God-Killing Blade could strike people within a hundred zhang.
Such an improvement allowed Nine Tribulations Secret, a divine ability, to no longer be limited to sneak attacks and could be used more effectively for its power.
After several attempts with the God-Killing Blade in the Cave Heaven World, Lu Yun felt extremely fatigued in his soul.
“The consumption of consciousness is far greater than that of the physical body and World Power.”
Lu Yun rested for quite a while before recovering.
Upon recovery, he felt his perception was clearer, his mind more agile—it was evident that his consciousness had improved somewhat.
“Raisi the Seventh Grade Divine Stealth Technique, the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique, to Perfection cost two hundred Divine Power Value, leaving four hundred ninety. I might as well upgrade Moksha Immeasurable to a Seventh Grade Divine Power as well.”
Having decided, Lu Yun called up the panel again.
“Upgrade.”
Several hours later, the memories of the deduction, improvement, and cultivation of Moksha Immeasurable were all assimilated.
The remaining Divine Power Value wasn’t enough to upgrade Heaven and Earth Draw Saber Slash, so Lu Yun used all of it to enhance the Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon for Celestial Humans.
As the Divine Power Value sharply decreased, the World Power within the Cave Heavens gradually increased, and new rules emerged, constantly consolidating and perfecting this newly formed Cave Heaven.
