"According to the description in that book, the thousand-zhang bone appearance I manifest during bat is merely a shadow image of the Bone Appearance Battle Body. The true Bone Appearance Battle Body is the one I can summon during each cultivation session. Currently, it stands at six zhang tall with mid-stage cultivation, and after breakthrough to the late stage, it’s projected to be nine zhang!
However, the book mentions that at the Peak of Xianyang, the Golden Body Battle Form has limits: Iron Bone can reach up to three zhang; Silver Bone four zhang; Gold Bone six zhang; Jade Bone is the ultimate limit at Nine-zhang Golden Body..."
Therefore, as my Bone Burning talent progresses to the Peak of Manifested Yang Level, it will once again defy the conventions of the Ice Abyss and form a Golden Body Battle Form that exceeds nine zhang!
Upon reaching this conclusion, Xia Hong’s expression showed excitement only momentarily before calming down.
It’s something that was anticipated!
For both the breakthroughs in the Earth-digging and Cold Resistance levels he defied conventions, so naturally, this stage of the Manifest Level won’t be an exception either.
His only curiosity now is about how powerful a Golden Body Battle Form is once summoned by a strong person at the Peak of Xianyang Realm?
"Cai Yunqing only has an ability of 28 Jun, highly likely at the late stage cultivation, so she surely doesn’t possess a Golden Body Battle Form; however, the elderly man in blue at the Book Collection Tower’s entrance, with over 50 Jun ability, is likely a strong person at the Peak of Xianyang Realm. If he summons his Golden Body Battle Form, his ability would surely increase significantly. If possible, I’d love to spar with him!"
Xia Hong chuckled, dismissing the impractical notion.
In all of Cai Qiu, if you count Landgrave Cai Qianshan, there are only five Tribulation Body Realm experts openly noted. Excluding them, strong individuals at the Peak of Manifested Yang Level are the top figures, with limited numbers not to mention. Their status must be high, how could anyone casually spar with them?
"To break through the Peak of Manifested Yang Level, achieving the War Body Golden Body and then reaching the Tribulation Body Realm, one must continue developing the Golden Body Organs, abbreviated as Opening the Organs.
This so-called opening the organs is using vast quantities of Five Elements Tribulation Qi to impact the golden body, and at the crossroads of life and death, force the golden body to self-produce the first organ.
As this process is a hundred times more painful than Xianyang Tempering Bone, with a high risk of dying, it is called the Five Elements Tribulation. Surviving it allows one to achieve Tribulation Body. This realm is no longer divided into early, mid, late, or peak stages like previous levels but is segmented by the number of times the Five Elements Tribulation is endured, ranging from First Turn to Fifth Turn, with Fifth Turn being the peak.
Typically, vast quantities of Five Elements Tribulation Qi exist in two places:
Firstly, the naturally occurring Five Elements Forbidden Land in Ice Abyss, such as eternal volcanoes, icebergs that remain unfrozen for millennia, sentient mountains and forests, etc.;
Secondly, within the bodies of Five Luminaries Realm Emperor-level Cold Beasts.
Thus, this corresponds once again..."
Low-level Cold Beasts are essential resources for two realms: logging and earth digging cultivation; intermediate Cold Beast blood corresponds to the peak of the Earth-digging Realm; high-level beast bones correspond to the Cold Resistance Level; Beast King level bones then correspond to the Manifested Yang Level; at present, the Five Luminaries Realm Emperor-level Cold Beast corresponds to breakthrough to the Tribulation Body Realm as a crucial resource...
"Not only for opening the organs, but even after the breakthrough, pleting the entire Tribulation Body Realm cultivation process requires developing the first organ, nurturing it, and solidifying it. Subsequently, based on the sequence of Five Elements Mutual Generation, other four organs are developed in succession, and this process relies heavily on Five Elements Tribulation Qi.
Thus, Emperor-level Cold Beasts are supposed to be essential resources for Tribulation Body cultivation!"
Of course, Five Elements Tribulation Qi isn’t only found in Emperor-level Cold Beasts; it’s also present in naturally occurring Five Elements Forbidden Land in Ice Abyss.
The question is, can you dare visit such places?
Eternal volcanoes, icebergs that remain unfrozen for millennia, sentient mountains and forests—just based on the book’s literal descriptions, the danger level of these places can be roughly inferred.
To put it another way, if you indeed found such beneficial locations, can you assure that there’s nothing more terrifying than Emperor-level Cold Beasts inside?
In contrast, Five Luminaries Realm Cold Beasts are clearly a better choice for humans.
"But, who serves as whose cultivation resource, isn’t determined yet..."
Xia Hong suddenly recalled something from the book, and a peculiar smile formed on his face.
"Tribulation Body Realm means two things: one is the aforementioned enduring of Five Elements Tribulation; the other refers to the human organs of this realm being enticingly precious cultivation resources for Five Luminaries Realm Emperor-level Cold Beasts and Calamity Level Deceitful Monsters, hence termed as Tribulation of oneself.
Weaker Five Luminaries Realm Emperor-level Cold Beasts, holding any of the Five Elements of gold, wood, water, fire, or earth, can be slightly easier to deal with; the strongest Emperor-level Cold Beasts, holding Five Elements Tribulation Qi, immune to water and fire, impervious to poison, and with bodies difficult to break, showing almost no weakness, even human experts at Fifth Turn Tribulation Body Realm face dying if targeted by them outside;
Calamity Level Deceitful Monsters at this level aren’t just about having strong means. The key is they utilize humans to approach and hunt down targets, making them practically unassailable.
Hence, Tribulation Body Realm experts typically avoid unfamiliar areas, and even strive to conceal their whereabouts, never staying long in one place, fearing to attract mighty deceitful monsters and cold beasts; the more crowded the area, the less likely they’ll remain for long..."
So, could it be that Cai Qiuyang is simply not in Lin Chu County City?
The peculiarity on Xia Hong’s face steadily faded, replaced by a touch of gravity.
The experiences placed at the Book Collection Tower in Cai Qiu are almost certainly true, proving that although humans gain strength upon reaching the Tribulation Body Realm, the entire camp’s situation along with their own vulnerability bees even more precarious.
