Chapter 595 - 587: Rule Backlash
Of course, even if the heavens themselves were about to change, Lin Xinghai couldn’t be bothered with it.
According to the Cultivation Technique’s description, the Marrow Tempering Realm was a stage for continuously strengthening the five Zang and six Fu organs. It also allowed one to transform them into containers for storing Blood Qi Power.
Previously, Blood Qi Power could only exist within the meridians and blood vessels. Now, with the addition of the five Zang and six Fu organs for storage, his capacity would instantly expand by severalfold.
One could say that the Marrow Tempering Realm was still a stage for laying a deep foundation for future bursts of power.
But as Lin Xinghai continued to review the Cultivation Technique, he discovered that he hadn’t fully completed his breakthrough yet.
This was because, in the Divine Demon Body’s Cultivation System, every stage was closely interconnected. The Blood Qi Power cultivated during the Blood Qi Realm would play an irreplaceable role upon reaching the Marrow Tempering Realm.
Upon breaking through to the Marrow Tempering Realm, all the Blood Qi Power from the Blood Qi Realm would be converted into Source Blood.
The most basic function of this Source Blood was to accelerate the strengthening of various organs. For instance, if one had 500 points of Source Blood and used it all to strengthen their five Zang and six Fu organs, they could break through from the Marrow Tempering Realm Early Stage to the Middle Stage in a single day.
With 1,000 points of Source Blood, one could even leap directly to the Marrow Tempering Realm Late Stage.
And given the vast amount of Blood Qi Power Lin Xinghai possessed, after the breakthrough and conversion, he had a whopping 2,033 points of Source Blood.
If he used it all to temper his five Zang and six Fu organs, he could instantly break one mirror after another, reaching the Body Shaping Realm in just two or three days.
However, using Source Blood directly for Cultivation was the most wasteful method.
The true purpose of Source Blood was to cause an organ to undergo a metamorphosis.
Of course, this metamorphosis had a threshold. One had to inject all 1,000 points of Source Blood into a single organ to trigger it.
In other words, if one had less than 1,000 points of Blood Qi Power during the Blood Qi Realm, they wouldn’t even be qualified for this.
An organ that had undergone metamorphosis would not only become stronger but would also develop a special ability, one that was typically related to the transformed organ itself.
For example, if the heart was chosen for metamorphosis, the ability gained would be a massive boost to blood production.
To put it simply, the Speed at which Blood Qi Power was generated would be greatly accelerated.
This was extremely beneficial for both combat endurance and Cultivation.
And according to the information within the Thunder Divine Body’s legacy, the heart was the most commonly chosen organ and also the one that provided the greatest benefits from metamorphosis.
Of course, Lin Xinghai was different from others, because his Source Blood amounted to over 2,000 points.
This meant he could choose two organs to undergo metamorphosis.
Lin Xinghai flipped through the materials from the Thunder Divine Body’s legacy. The human body’s five Zang organs are: the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. And the six Fu organs are: the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, gallbladder, and Triple Jiao.
His gaze wandered among the organs other than the heart, and soon, it landed on the stomach, one of the six Fu organs.
The stomach’s function in the human body is digestion. Therefore, after using Source Blood to induce its metamorphosis, the ability gained would also be related to digestion.
Among the many potential support abilities, Lin Xinghai felt this one was quite good.
After all, with enhanced digestive abilities, the speed at which he could perform Refinement on medicinal effects when consuming pills for Cultivation would undoubtedly increase, thereby boosting his Cultivation Speed.
Paired with the heart’s blood-production ability, it would cause his Cultivation Speed to skyrocket.
Of course, the ultimate reason for his choice was that the abilities evolved from the other Zang and Fu organs were simply not to his liking.
For instance, the liver is responsible for detoxification. If he evolved the liver, he would likely gain an ability like rapid detoxification.
It wasn’t that such an ability was bad, but for Lin Xinghai, its effect would be minimal.
After all, the body’s resistance to poison naturally increased with one’s strength. Besides, he typically dispatched his enemies quickly, giving them no opportunity to use poison.
As for the abilities gained from the metamorphosis of the other Zang and Fu organs, they were even less useful to him.
For example, evolving the lungs would increase lung capacity, allowing one to hold their breath for extended periods. Unless he was in an underwater battle or some other special situation, the probability of using such an ability was extremely low.
An ability evolved from the kidneys, for instance, would enhance a man’s prowess in that department. But again, as one’s strength increased, all aspects of the body’s functions would improve along with it, so this wasn’t particularly useful either.
Given the alternatives, it was better to choose two organs that could rapidly increase his strength.
As long as his strength rose, everything else would follow.
Having made his choices, Lin Xinghai began to operate the Divine Demon Body’s Cultivation Technique. He controlled the Source Blood he had just converted and injected it into the two chosen organs, initiating their metamorphosis.
And in fact, from this moment on, Lin Xinghai had officially broken through to the Marrow Tempering Realm.
CRACK!
Suddenly, a clap of thunder erupted from the clear sky outside. And with this thunderclap, the entire world seemed to undergo some kind of strange transformation.
At that moment, Zuo Wenya stood beside Lin Xinghai, his face filled with confusion. He could sense that Lin Xinghai had likely succeeded in his breakthrough, but the aura emanating from him was perplexing.
It didn’t feel like the aura of the Body Shaping Realm. It felt a little weaker than the Body Shaping Realm, yet it was far beyond anything the Blood Qi Realm could compare to.
