Chapter 97: Muscle Strengthening realm

Muscle Strengthening realm.

Just like the body cleansing realm, the muscle strengthening realm was also classified into three stages.

However, unlike the body cleansing realm, in his realm, the entire body had to be tempered with the pure internal fire energy at one time to make it stronger.

'So, this muscle strengthening realm depends on the number of temperings with the pure internal fire energy,'

With the thin book in his hands, Henrick silently muttered to himself and continued to read the remaining pages of that thin book.

"Here it is,"

Soon, Henrick found something in the last page of the thin book which made him completely understand about the muscle strengthening realm and how to progress in that realm.

In the thin book, it was noted like this,

Muscle-strengthening realm:-

Stage 1 = Temper the entire body three times with each tempering, one sub-stage would be progressed.

Stage 2 = Temper the entire body nine times. For every three temperings, one sub-stage would be progressed.

Stage 3 = Temper the entire body twenty-seven times. For every nine temperings, one sub-stage would be progressed.

"Is it for real? When I tried to temper the entire body to reach muscle strengthening realm, it took my 10 days and moreover, with the passive endurance skill, I suffered a great amount of pain,"

Even though the thin book explained very clearly, he was shocked by three, nine and twenty-seven times tempering the body for each stage.

"Uff... Henrick, you need to stop shocking at every single thing. A cultivator needs to endure 100 times or even thousand times of my current pain to become an immortal cultivator,"

Soon, Henrick took a deep breath and suppressed his shock before deciding to tempering his body to complete the mission.

"Looks like I will get this body tempering daily missions from now on,"

Henrick guessed that future daily mission as there was a certain pattern to the daily missions that would repeat daily.

Like feeding the fire vine seed and receiving an attack from the baby fire money. So, he was almost sure that this tempering mission would repeat from tomorrow.

"Let's see whether I can complete one round of tempering today to finish the mission,"

When he tried to temper his body for the first time, it took him around 10 days to complete one round of tempering. So, he didn't have much hope in completing the daily mission; however, he decided to give his best.

'Start,'

Soon, he closed his eyes and repeated the earlier process of combining the pure internal fire energy with the recently sucked fire elements into his body.

....

A few minutes ago,

Inside the sect leader Gamos's cultivation abode,

"Phew...with uncle Zerg's words, I can stop worrying about Henrick for while,"

The sect leader Gamos woke up from his meditation and muttered with a slight smile on his face.

As soon as his Uncle Zerg woke up from his unconscious state, the sect leader Gamos asked about his disciple's bloodline.

'It was a success and you don't need to worry until he reaches the energy condensation realm,' This was a reply he got from his uncle.

However, as soon as he finished his words, his uncle left the cultivation abode without even waiting for another second.

'I wonder, why uncle Zerg has left in such a hurry,'

Even though the sect leader Gamos' head was filled with many questions, he didn't stop his uncle.

'But I still feel something is wrong with Henrick's bloodline. Even after using the 'Colossal Crux of Thorns' formation, the bloodline is only sealed temporarily,'

There was still something in his heart that made the sect leader Gamos wary.

'Swoosh'

While he was thinking, his uncle Zerg appeared in his cultivation abode out of nowhere making the sect leader Gamos raise his body.

"Uncle Zerg, what happened?"

Nevertheless, he politely asked his uncle after seeing the serious look on Zerg's face.

"It's about your disciple Henrick's bloodline,"

Uncle Zerg didn't waste any time and came straight to the point.

"Huh?"

The sect leader Gamos' expression became serious and waited for his uncle to finish his words.

"Don't you think that even the 'Colossal Crux of Thorns' was unable to seal his bloodline for at least the energy transformation realm?" 

Soon, Uncle Zerg started walking towards the jade bed and explained regarding the bloodline sealing event a few days back.

"Yes. I think so too,"

The sect leader Gamos nodded his head in agreement with Zerg's words.

"During that event, the formation required 10 times more internal fire energy than I expected which made him unconscious for an entire day,"

Sitting on the Jade bed, the shadow overseer calmly said to the sect leader Gamos and he didn't wait for his nephew's reply as he continued, "So, I decided to search about it for the past few days and guess what I found?"

A formation master uses his internal fire energy to maintain a formation. So, when using the Colossal Crux of Thorns, Zerg used only 10 percent of the internal fire energy in his dantian.

Unexpectedly, during that event, all of his internal fire energy was consumed making him unconscious for a day.

"What is it, Uncle?"

The sect leader Gamos became anxious as he felt a band premonition in his heart as he asked about what his uncle had found.

"Before that, I think, your disciple must have already broken through to the muscle strengthening by now. Did you check on him?"

Uncle Zerg didn't answer the sect leader Gamos and asked a different question to his nephew.

"What? It's impossible. Breaking through to the muscle strengthening realm in 15 days is already quite a nice achievement for a cultivator,"

After hearing his uncle's words, the sect leader Gamos shook his head as didn't agree with his uncle.

"So, why don't we go and check on him now?" Zerg revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked.

"No. First, say what you have found during these past few days,"

However, the sect leader Gamos once again didn't agree with his uncle because according to him the most important thing was to know what his uncle had found during the past few days.

So, he directly opposed his uncle as he asked about what he had found.

"You have got this stubbornness from your mother," Uncle Zerg revealed a small smile before nodding his head as he said, "His bloodline is already sealed once."
