A crack had suddenly appeared on Lin Wu's body. It started spreading across the length of the body in a very specific pattern. But once it was done, a sapphire blue glow replaced it.

Then after a few minutes, another crack appeared.

~Crack~

It too spread along the length of his body and a sapphire blue glow replaced it. More and more of these cracks appeared along his body and after an hour their number had reached ten.

Lin Wu gritted his teeth as he bore through the pain. Finally, two more hours later it stopped and the sapphire blue glow faded away.

~huu~

Lin Wu took a breath of relief as he relaxed his body.

~Ding~

[AVATAR]

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE ADDED: Undaunted Sapphire Body art

HOST DATA: Updated

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE: 1. Taiji Dual Unity Scripture

2. Immortal Sky Shaker Art

3. Undaunted Sapphire Body art

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE PROFICIENCY UPGRADE: Undaunted Sapphire Body art- First level (10% Meridians converted)

"Finally, it's over…" Lin Wu muttered in a tired tone.

This was the first level of the Undaunted Sapphire Body art that he had completed. Currently, ten percent of his meridians had been converted into Sapphire meridians. This was the first level of the cultivation technique.

In total, the technique had four levels.

The first level needed 10% of the meridians to be converted.

The second level needed 30% of the meridians to be converted.

The third level needed 60% of the meridians to be converted.

And finally, the fourth level needed 100% of the meridians to be converted.

The creator of the technique Lan Baoshi herself, had only reached the third level of the technique herself before her death. Because of her heart demon, she had been unable to fully reach the peak of the technique, yet she had the confidence that her technique was perfect.

It was because of this that she had written the last part of the booklet on her deathbed. Lin Wu knew this and because of that had chosen to practice the technique with his avatar first and not his main body.

But now that he had the confirmation that the technique truly worked, he would be able to practice it with his main body as well. Thankfully, he didn't need to refine spirit Qi using the technique, as its efficiency was even lower than that of the Immortal Sky Shaker art.

Lin Wu had the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture and thus didn't need to use any other technique for the time being.

"Another thing added to my list now, I guess. Damn, my spirit Qi expenditure is only increasing. But… this is reasonable as it would only be increasing my own strength." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

'Let's see how my main body fares with this technique…' Lin Wu thought before transferring his consciousness to the main body.

When he was manually controlling one body, the other one would still do the tasks that were assigned to it. For example, Lin Wu would usually leave one of the bodies to cultivate and they would continue to do that until Lin Wu told them to stop or do something else.

This was the reason why he could keep up his cultivation even though he had double the work.

After returning to his main body Lin Wu checked the spirit Qi that had been accumulated till now.

HOST CULTIVATION: Infant stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

-Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [9875/1,500,000] units (liquid spirit qi)

SPIRIT QI STORAGE: 1,014,405 units [liquid spirit qi]

——

~Sigh~

"Still got a long way to go till the next upgrade and the two new cultivation techniques will only take more from me." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He then practiced the Undaunted Sapphire Body Art just like he did with the avatar and watched its effects. Unlike in the avatar, Lin Wu did not feel as much pain in his main body. He didn't know what the reason for it was, but the second difference was that it took much longer for him to reach the first level of the Undaunted Sapphire Body Art.

He ended up spending the rest of the night on it before he was finally able to reach the level.

[Main Body]

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE ADDED: Undaunted Sapphire Body art

HOST DATA: Updated

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE: 1. Taiji Dual Unity Scripture

2. Immortal Sky Shaker Art

3. Undaunted Sapphire Body art

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE PROFICIENCY UPGRADE: Undaunted Sapphire Body art- First level (15% Meridians converted)

——

But upon seeing the conversion percentage Lin Wu was surprised.

"Why is the percentage different? System?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The host's main body has better innate compatibility with the Undaunted Sapphire Body Art than was anticipated by the system. Due to this, the first level's threshold was raised and now it is at 15% instead of 10%.

——

"Hmm… that's fine, but what's the actual difference?" Lin Wu questioned, not feeling satisfied.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The host's main body has multiple bloodlines assimilated into it, but the unknown bloodline is particularly contributing to this property.

——

"Ah, so it's because of the unknown bloodline again. Just what is it that it can bring about so many effects? I can't wait to find out later." Lin Wu said, feeling a bit excited.

He then realized that he had just forgotten something.

"Oh wait! I still need to test out the effect of the undaunted Sapphire Body Art!" Lin Wu recalled.

It was mentioned in the technique's description that the technique allowed one to bypass a lot of restrictions. Lin Wu reckoned that this must include barriers as well.

"System active one of the barriers in the tomb for a test." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

COMMAND: Accepted

FORMATION ACTIVATED: Barrier formation

Lin Wu then saw some rune appear in the air in front of him, which then gathered together to form a translucent barrier in front of him. This was the barrier formation that Lin Wu had asked for.

"First should be the baseline experiment. I'll just use my own strength for this one…" Lin Wu said before raising his tail.
