Chapter 98: Body Tempering With Baneful Aura

“Then should I choose the Heart Intent Saber?” inquired Meng Chuan .

The Supremacy nodded . “Choose the Heart Intent Saber . You will cultivate this saber art several times faster than the World Roving Dragon Saber, and Lightning Devastator Saber . What you should focus on now is to achieve Saber Intent . The true intent of a saber art needs to be sublime .

“Therefore, one has to specialize in a saber art if they are trying to achieve Saber Intent . Only by cultivating the Heart Intent Saber and achieving the Saber Soul, can you choose a few techniques from the World Roving Dragon Saber and Lightning Devastator Saber to complete your saber art repertoire . ”

Meng Chuan nodded . “I understand . ”

Before reaching the Saber Soul realm, he was only to cultivate the Heart Intent Saber .

“Heart Intent Saber has eighteen stances . The first stance is called the Heart Saber Stance . It’s the foundation of all other moves in the saber art . It’s the saber art’s core! This Heart Saber Stance is also known as the Heart Intent Saber Drawing Stance,” said the Supremacy with a smile . “The Saber Drawing Stance you’ve trained is very similar to the Heart Saber Stance . This is also why I said that you are 90% compatible with this saber art . However, you are still unable to accept a Black Metal Sutra legacy . All you can do is go to the Impartation Pavilion and choose ordinary manuals for perusal .

“If you cultivate the Heart Intent Saber, you can head to Archean Mountain’s Thousand Sabers Cavern . This saber art was created when Godfiend Guo Ke was being punished in the Thousand Sabers Cavern . ”

Meng Chuan was secretly puzzled .

Being punished?

“Godfiend Guo Ke was struck at the Incessant realm due to his weak physical body . He was unable to reach the Creation realm,” said the Supremacy . “However, the Heart Intent Saber is indeed a saber art for Creation realm experts . It’s one of humanity’s most powerful weapon art legacies . ”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly . For Godfiend cultivation, one’s physical body, Essence Soul, and weapon realm were indispensable .

The Heart Intent Saber’s creator was stuck as a Regis Godfiend because his physical body was too weak .

…

After Meng Chuan left Grotto-Heaven Pavilion, he was in no hurry to choose his saber art . Instead, he went to the library and searched for books regarding the three saber arts . Although he trusted his master, he still had to make his own decisions .

The Heart Intent Saber Black Metal Sutra has two identical copies . One is in Archean Mountain, while the other is in Black Sand Grotto-Heaven . Meng Chuan gained an understanding while reading . In history, powerful Godfiends would usually pay the price to create two or even three copies of their legacies . Firstly, it was to prevent unforeseen events from causing the legacy to be lost or damaged . Their legacies were ultimately products of blood, sweat, and tears, so they were willing to create one or two more copies . Secondly, the copies were traded for other Black Metal Sutras with other factions .

Archean Mountain had a huge collection of Black Metal Sutras and Godfiend body formulas . Many of them were created by Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, Two World Island, and experts from other factions .

For example, Archean Mountain only had remnant copies of the Lightning Devastator Saber . However, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven had a complete copy of the Lightning Devastator Saber legacy .

Ever since the demons invaded their world, humanity’s three supreme sects had deepened their relationships with one another . In the future, they would pay a certain price to obtain the complete Lightning Devastator Saber legacy from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven .

Okay . Meng Chuan read one book after another, increasing his understanding of the three saber arts . Furthermore—with his master’s advice—he was confident .

Master is right . The Lightning Devastator Saber is too domineering . It doesn’t suit me . However, I can choose one or two moves as secret techniques in the future . Many of these saber techniques are to be unleashed frenziedly . For example, the Five Lightning Descent was a swift, devastating move .

The World Roving Dragon Saber focuses on strange, abrupt changes . I can learn from its unpredictable movement technique .

These three saber arts contained movement techniques . Meng Chuan had taken a fancy to the World Roving Dragon Saber’s movement technique . Having unpredictable movement made it very easy to kill enemies .

…

In the Impartation Pavilion, Meng Chuan chose the complete secret manual of the Heart Intent Saber and three thick books filled with supplementary notes to bring back to his cave abode . The three books were written by three Regis Godfiends—who had cultivated the Heart Intent Saber . They were left behind for their successors .

“Prepare hot water . I’m taking a bath . ” Meng Chuan instructed after returning to his cave abode late at night . Following that, he began reading the Heart Intent Saber manual carefully .

Without intent guidance, he could only read and ponder over the content slowly . With the supplementary notes, he began understanding the Heart Intent Saber slowly .

After reading late into the night, Meng Chuan continued his Saber Drawing Stance repetitions when he woke up the next day . He wasn’t in a hurry to cultivate the Heart Intent Saber . Instead, he decided to spend ten days studying the manual and supplementary notes carefully . After gaining a deep understanding of the saber art, would he begin cultivating it .

…

Archean Mountain, Myriad Wither Peak, the next afternoon .

“Lord Meng Chuan . ” There was a servant guarding the entrance to a Myriad Wither Peak cave . There were four words engraved on top of the cave—Three Yin Banefire Cave .

Meng Chuan walked over and smiled . “I would like a C-rank chamber . ”

“Please follow me . ” A servant immediately led the way .

Meng Chuan was astonished by Myriad Wither Peak . There were many baneful aura caves in Myriad Wither Peak . These baneful auras were transported from areas around the world by powerful Godfiends . It was hard for vegetation to survive on Myriad Wither Peak . A few special plants could survive, but Myriad Wither Peak didn’t have any trace of greenery at all .

Three Yin Banefire was the first out of nine baneful auras needed to refine his body in preparation for the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body .

Meng Chuan was a mortal; thus, the baneful aura concentration in a C-rank chamber was sufficient for him . The baneful aura would probably turn Meng Chuan into dust the moment he breathed inside an A-rank chamber .

“At the Three Yin Banefire Cave . A C-rank room requires ten credits per day,” said the servant with a smile . “As long as you don’t spend more than 24 hours cultivating inside, it will be considered a day . ”

“Got it . ” Meng Chuan nodded . Ten credits a day? It was already one of the lowest prices .

Rumble!

The door to the chamber opened, and Meng Chuan entered . He casually closed the stone door and shut it tight .

The chamber was 50 feet long and wide . An oil lamp—that was permanently lit—and a mat furnished the room . There was nothing else .

This baneful aura is really thin . Meng Chuan could see a faint dark red gas floating in the chamber with his naked eye . He also began to feel a slight stabbing pain on his skin .

Time to begin . Meng Chuan drew his saber and used a saber art .

This saber art was recorded in the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body legacy . It wasn’t meant for killing . Instead, it was for refining baneful auras . When executing the saber art, one would control their muscles with more finesse to exert strength . It allowed one’s strained muscles to absorb baneful auras, speeding up the body’s absorption speed .

Breathe out; breathe in . He used Saber Force to exert all his strength as he used the baneful Aura Refinement Saber Art . The more his muscles exerted strength, the more they absorbed the baneful aura greedily .

Strands of dark red baneful aura entered Meng Chuan’s body and slowly transformed his body .

Slowly, Meng Chuan’s heart was filled with agitation and an impulse to go crazy .

Baneful auras indeed affect one’s mind . I’ve only just started cultivating, and I’m absorbing the most ordinary baneful aura; yet, I’m already agitated slightly . Meng Chuan sighed inwardly . He easily maintained his lucidity and continued executing the saber art .

One had to put in a lot of effort when executing the body-tempering saber art . It was useless if one carelessly executed the saber art .

His movements had to be precise . The more he channeled his strength, the more the baneful aura would fuse with his body! It increased his absorption efficiency and speed .

…

He continued cultivating for nearly two hours before he began to feel a stabbing pain throughout his body .

I’ve reached my body’s current limits . He immediately stopped executing the Baneful Aura Refining Saber Art . His body needed time to adapt .

Rumble! Meng Chuan opened the stone door and walked out .

If it weren’t for the fact that he needed the baneful aura to refine his body, staying in the chamber only brought harm .

…

Archean Mountain was very convenient . All kinds of resources for cultivating a transcendent-grade Godfiend body were prepared . They could be exchanged using credits .

Every day, Meng Chuan would train in the Three Yin Banefire Cave’s C-rank chamber for two hours . He did this for five days, and it was now afternoon on New Year’s Eve .

Oh? After using the body-tempering saber art for more than an hour, Meng Chuan suddenly felt like he had “eaten his fill . ” He immediately stopped and inspected his body with his inner vision .

Under his inner vision, his bones and flesh emanated dark red baneful aura faintly . Even his blood had the same traits .

It’s already fused with the bone marrow? I’m done with the First Refinement? Meng Chuan extended his finger, and with a thought, dark red baneful aura rose from his fingertip . When he saw this, he smiled . The Three Yin Banefire has fused with my body completely . My body can produce a small amount of Three Yin Banefire now .

The First Refinement is the easiest because the baneful aura is the weakest . The negative effects it has on my will is weak . Five days? The speed is still alright . Meng Chuan nodded slightly . I’ll begin the Second Refinement tomorrow .

Every person—who had cultivated a Lightning Divine Body—completed the First Refinement very smoothly . The further one went, the slower the body refining would become . It was even possible that they would go crazy, and their bodies would collapse . Therefore, many geniuses would immediately stop when they sensed danger . They would have no choice but to give up on this Godfiend body if that happened .
