Chapter 779: Minor Success
Bai Lan and Lei Ji looked at Long Chen with amazement when the teenager called down a larger amount of celestial Qi than before. Long Chen used it to temper his left arm one more time before moving on to his right arm.
Bai Lan and Lei Ji were impressed by Long Chen’s dedication.
“If he doesn’t sleep and rest, he might actually finish cultivating the Seven Star Body before the month ends. I’m certain that he will find time to study the Martial God Tombstone too…”
“Let’s just see what kind of surprise he would give us in one more month.”
Bai Lan was grinning.
Days passed, and Long Chen’s progress far exceeded their expectations. To them, Long Chen was a monster in the making. They knew how painful it was to even touch the celestial Qi, but Long Chen made it seem like the pain didn’t exist.
But that was false. The pain was still there, but Long Chen had gotten used to it. Even though the pain bore down all the way to his bone marrow, he had grown accustomed to it after cultivating for almost ten days straight. His body was not only growing stronger by the day, his willpower was growing stronger too. At the very least, the pain did not deter Long Chen from continuing his cultivation.
After ten days, Long Chen had successfully tempered his limbs and part of his torso. The limbs had been easy to do, but his torso, especially his organs, were much more delicate. He kept his focus razor-sharp as he tempered them over the next several days. He finally felt like he was alive again when he stopped.
Long Chen knew that the tenth day was approaching. He needed to feed Suyan his blood again, so he prepared in advance. When he was done he quickly returned to the top of the tree. Since he had consumed all the celestial Qi from the previous night and it was still daytime, he chose to spend the day studying the Martial God Tombstone. Advancing from the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage to the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage was not going to be easy since the gap became larger every three stages. Advancing to the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage meant he was jumping from the intermediate stage to the advanced stage.
