Chapter 417: Jade Marrow Transformation
Chapter 417: Jade Marrow Transformation
Chen Mu took an Earthly Spiritfruit from the Heaven-Earth Vessel and swallowed it in one mouthful. Then, he took out a long vessel containing Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid, drinking it like wine, gulping it down with a loud gurgle.
A scorching heat surged within his abdomen and spread to his limbs and bones.
To temper the Heaven-Earth Body to its limit, he needed 100,000 experience points, which required nearly 200 jin of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid. The amount of vitality and spirit energy contained in this volume of liquid was incredibly terrifying!
As a large amount of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid flowed into Chen Mu's body, he could feel his muscles and bones becoming more active and vibrant, as if any wounds on his body would heal in the blink of an eye.
Another crucial use of the Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid was the vitality it contained.
It was the main ingredient in many top-tier medicinal formulas and remedies of the current era. While it might not bring the dead back to life, it could almost certainly regenerate flesh and bones. As far as Chen Mu knew, the highest-grade healing medicine refined from Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid could even regrow severed limbs, although he wasn't sure if this was true.
However, as the surging vitality continued to accumulate and ferment, the situation gradually changed.
After consuming fifty to sixty jin of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid, like drinking from a spring, Chen Mu's muscles and bones began to bear a tremendous force, but it was still within his endurance.
"Yin is the extreme of Yang, and Yang is the extreme of Yin. The rotation of Heaven and Earth is the law of nature," Chen Mu muttered, sensing the changes within his body.
When vitality reaches its peak, it can also transform into infinite death energy. As the saying goes, when life reaches its extreme, it becomes death.
The vast vitality within his body, if he had not yet perfected his Heaven-Earth Body cultivation, would have been difficult to bear. Even if he could handle it, the pressure would have been immense.
If an ordinary person, or even a typical Grandmaster, were to experience such a vast gathering of vitality, their flesh and blood might collapse instantly, as all their flesh would grow wildly, leading to destruction! Indeed, martial cultivation is a step-by-step process.
Without perfecting the cultivation of the Heaven-Earth Body, one couldn't bear such immense spirit energy and vitality, nor could they pave the way to the extreme of the Marrow Washing Realm. After consuming sixty to seventy jin of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid, almost every drop of his blood contained vibrant vitality, enough to refine into a healing sacred medicine.
Chen Mu didn't stop; he continued to drink the Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid while sensing the changes within his body and suppressing the surging spirit energy and vitality. He drank it mouthful by mouthful, like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds.
If any other Grandmaster who had reached the Seekwood Heavenly Realm, including Fang Yuan above, were to witness this scene, they would be shocked beyond belief.
The Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid was indeed a valuable spirit object with numerous uses, and it could temper the martial body. But who could swallow it like Chen Mu, as if drinking wine or water, consuming over a hundred jin in a short time?
It was almost unbelievable! Even for a Blood Replacement Realm expert, consuming over a hundred jin of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid at once would be a heavy burden. Even with a Blood Replacement-tempered body, there was still a risk of collapse! But Chen Mu, with over a hundred jin of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid in his abdomen, managed to control the vast spirit energy within him, despite the burden.
In terms of physical strength, Chen Mu's body was indeed stronger than many Blood Replacement Realm cultivators. The crucial factor was his extremely tempered Five Viscera and Six Bowels, which were once the most fragile organs but had now become the most resilient part of his body. They could bear an almost limitless amount of spirit energy and vitality without pressure.
Just as Chen Mu had predicted earlier, if the Five Viscera and Six Bowels were not tempered to their extreme, or if even one of them hadn't reached the limit, it would be impossible to challenge the extreme of Marrow Washing. Any deficiency would make it difficult to withstand the surging spirit energy during the process, becoming a fatal flaw that could lead to collapse.
[Experience: 57,381 points]
[Experience: 61,291 points]
[Experience: 68,514 points]
...
Chen Mu diverted a sliver of his consciousness to the system panel, where he could see the experience points continuously accumulating. He roughly estimated that the Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid he had was sufficient, and there might even be about ten jin left.
Chen Mu continued to drink the Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid.
One hundred and twenty jin,
One hundred and thirty jin,
One hundred and forty jin,
A large amount of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid was swallowed by him, transforming into vast vitality and spirit energy within his body. Gradually, his skin took on a greenish hue, as if his human form was transforming into that of the Spirit Folk!
Of course, this wasn't a change in his physique, but the vast accumulation of vitality and the immense Wood Seeking Power within him, causing his entire body to exhibit signs of transformation. If he didn't exert all his strength to suppress the spirit energy, his flesh, muscles, and bones might start growing wildly and expanding outward, losing his human form and transforming into a tree-like, bizarre monster!
Fortunately, Chen Mu's martial will was strong and resilient, having already reached the Calm as a Mirror stage. Even his soul heart had undergone enhancement, and although he hadn't entered the Blood Replacement Realm or experienced a soul cleansing, his soul power was not far behind those in the Blood Replacement Realm. He could still control his body.
At this moment, all the accumulated foundations and resources from before seemed to be put into use, and everything seemed to be connected by a tight thread, not a single thing could be missing.
One hundred and fifty jin,
One hundred and sixty jin,
One hundred and seventy jin,
...
Two hundred jin!
Chen Mu continuously consumed the Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid, and after reaching one hundred and fifty jin, continuing to ingest it became a tremendous pressure for him. Each swallow felt like a knife cutting his throat.
The Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid was originally vibrant and refreshing, a Spirit Object with life-giving energy, but when accumulated in such large quantities, its nature changed. The refreshing vitality gradually transformed into fierce and violent Spirit Energy, constantly raging within his body.
Even with Chen Mu's abilities, swallowing the last few dozen jin was a challenging task.
Finally, after consuming the last bit of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid, the system interface finally changed.
【Martial Body: Heaven-Earth (Perfected)】
【Experience: 100,027 points】
When his experience points surpassed 100,000, Chen Mu felt his body almost unable to bear the burden. Although his Five Viscera and Six Bowels had undergone Ultimate Tempering, and their essence had changed, they could still withstand such a vast amount of Spirit Energy. However, his skin, muscles, and bones were on the verge of collapse, as if they might detach from his body at any moment and grow wildly.
It was at this moment, when his experience points exceeded 100,000, that Chen Mu didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately chose to confirm!
Buzz!
A golden light flashed across the system interface.
When the accumulated 100,000 experience points on the system interface were instantly cleared, an indescribable mighty power finally emerged and took control of all the Spirit Energy and vitality within Chen Mu's body in an instant! The surging vitality and sharpness that he had almost lost control over suddenly became as gentle as a lamb, no longer chaotic. Instead, it followed an extremely orderly manner, permeating from the outside in, through his skin, muscles, and bones, and finally reaching the depths of his bone marrow, tempering the Jade Bone's deepest marrow fluid.
"Phew..."
Although the tempering had just begun, Chen Mu felt relieved.
The effects of the two hundred jin of Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid, mixed with some Earthly Spiritfruit, were indeed too exaggerated. Without the system panel, he might not have collapsed, but he would have had to immediately expel all the raging Spirit Energy and vitality from his body. Continuing like this would have been impossible to control, let alone perform a deeper Bone Marrow Washing.
Once the system panel's power came into play, the surging Spirit Energy, which Chen Mu could barely suppress with all his might, was controlled to the point where there was not a single ripple. Such ultimate control was awe-inspiring, even at Chen Mu's current realm.
Could the Heaven Person Realm experts, who had achieved unity of mind and body with heaven and earth, do this?
Absolutely not.
They couldn't.
Even though the Heaven Person Realm experts had achieved unity of mind and body with heaven and earth, and their soul heart and Martial Will were stronger than Chen Mu's, it was impossible for them to control such vast Spirit Energy without any leakage.
Even if they could control and suppress it, they wouldn't be able to match the system panel's level. It was simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
The stronger the soul heart and will, the greater the control over power.
Even the most supreme Heaven Person Expert of this era would not have a soul strength ten times stronger than his.
To reach the Marrow Washing Realm, one must possess a soul and willpower far beyond that of a Heaven Person Expert. Chen Mu felt that this was an utterly impossible occurrence, at least not since the birth of the Martial Dao until now, and perhaps not even in the distant future.
Sizzle.
The rich Wood Seeking Spirit Liquid transformed into Spirit Energy and vitality, constantly tempering various parts of his flesh and blood, while more power tempered his crystal-like jade bones and refined his golden marrow.
Ever since his Heaven-Earth Body reached the perfection of Marrow Washing, the marrow within his body had already turned a faint golden color, harmonizing with his crystal-like jade bones, creating a Golden Marrow Jade Bones.
And now...
That golden marrow was undergoing further transformation, surrounded by emerald Spirit Energy and vitality, tempering it bit by bit, gradually seeping out a jade-like color from within the golden hue.
The process of Ultimate Marrow Washing proceeded as Chen Mu had expected, taking longer than the previous step, as this was the final step to temper his Martial Body to the extreme of Marrow Washing, achieving the most perfect state. With the effects of the System Panel, it would be flawless, without a single defect.
He sat there, cross-legged, not needing to manipulate or control anything. Yet, with his eyes closed, he observed the transformation of his flesh and blood, bit by bit.
One day, two days,
Three days,
...
Time passed swiftly, almost a month in total.
Chen Mu's skin and flesh, almost dyed emerald, gradually faded back to a simple light color, and finally, his entire body's aura was restrained, and no more fluctuations could be sensed. Sitting there, he seemed like an ordinary person.
But within his body, the last trace of Spirit Energy underwent its final tempering.
After an unknown amount of time...
Finally...
This last trace of Spirit Energy also vanished without a trace.
At the same time, within his crystal-like jade bones, a jade-like marrow appeared, perfect and flawless, like an Innate Spirit Treasure, or an Acquired masterpiece, naturally formed!
Marrow Formation!
Just as Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes, an invisible Aura Power suddenly surged from within his body, causing the void within three feet of him to shatter inch by inch!
Sitting there, the nearby void seemed like a spider web, cracking open with an extending white crack!
Boom!!
This terrifying fluctuation shook the earth, causing the earth veins to tremble and the Seekwood Root System to collapse.
In a small cave two hundred meters above, Fang Yuan, who was studying the Seekwood Root System, was startled by the tremor that nearly caused the nearby ground to collapse. He looked down at Chen Mu with a shocked expression.
"What's going on?"
His eyes revealed shock as he felt the spreading fluctuation, giving him a sense of suffocation and an overwhelming pressure that made him almost unable to move.
This pressure came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
But even with just that brief moment, it left Fang Yuan drenched in cold sweat, his spine chilling, and he stumbled back a few steps, his eyes wide with shock as he looked down at Chen Mu.
Just now...
What was that sound?!
He knew this change must have come from Chen Mu, but the sudden surge of energy was indeed terrifying, far more frightening than the methods Chen Mu had used to attack the Spirit People Settlements before.
Merely sensing this pressure was enough to extinguish any thought of resistance in Fang Yuan's heart.
How could Chen Mu have undergone such a terrifying change?
Could it be...
A somewhat unbelievable thought arose in Fang Yuan's mind. Could Chen Mu have crossed the Life and Death Boundary and entered the Blood Transformation Realm?! But that's impossible!
Aside from the fact that it's impossible to complete Blood Transformation in just a month, Chen Mu's previous closed-door cultivation didn't show any signs of drawing Heaven and Earth Power. Moreover, this is the Seekwood Heavenly Realm, which doesn't have the conditions for Blood Transformation!
What was that sound just now?
For a moment, Fang Yuan was filled with doubts and uncertainty, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something unknown and significant had happened to Chen Mu.
