Chapter 639 - 38: Fifth Celestial Tribulation, Great Improvement in Strength

He felt an endless, mystical power being released from within him, continuously refining his flesh, organs, and bones as if tempering and nurturing a Magical Artifact.

Immortal Peaches, a Sixth-rank Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Object, were like an innumerable quantity of Merit Talismanic Coins, pushing Fang Cheng’s *Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique* to an unprecedented height.

The third peach.

The fourth...

In less than a month, Fang Cheng had refined all four Immortal Peaches.

The *Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique* had already reached the Fifth Transformation Perfect Realm. One more step, and he would be at the sixth transformation!

With every gesture, a vast power surged within his body, causing the void to faintly tremble.

Fang Cheng sat in meditation for several days before he could completely control this surging power.

Before consuming the Immortal Peaches, his Physical Strength was roughly equivalent to that of a Fifth Tribulation Cultivator.

Now, in terms of physical strength and power alone, he could already stand shoulder to shoulder with a Nine Tribulations Body Refining Great Practitioner.

Such was the astonishing effect of a Sixth-rank Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Object.

Fang Cheng even had a faint feeling that he hadn’t fully refined all the Spiritual Mechanism from the four Immortal Peaches. Given time, his physical body would experience another great leap in power.

At that time, his physical strength would be comparable to a Spirit Immortal Body.

’Next, it’s time to take the Seven-Colored Immortal Lotus to enhance my soul.’

Compared to his Magical Power and physical body, Fang Cheng’s soul was somewhat lacking. It relied entirely on the *Infinite Light Buddha Scripture* that Feng Yan had given him years ago, which had allowed him to cultivate his soul into an Infinite Light Buddha that stood guard in his sea of consciousness.

Although his soul was far superior to that of Cultivators at the same level, the gap was still quite obvious when compared to those Eight- and Nine-Tribulation Great Powers who had cultivated Spirit Immortal legacies.

Fortunately, he had obtained quite a few Seven-Colored Immortal Lotuses on this trip, which was perfect for shoring up this weakness.

He took out a lotus seed and consumed it. His sea of consciousness immediately erupted with golden light, and rings of it appeared behind his head.

Fang Cheng’s expression shifted slightly. He summoned the Mountain and River Cauldron, and with a flash, his figure entered the space within the cauldron.

On the surface of a vast and boundless sea floated a Starlight Sphere about ten feet in diameter.

Sealed within the sphere of light was a beautiful woman. Her face was cold and stunning, but her figure was full, ripe, and graceful.

It was none other than the Tribulation Realm Cultivator from the Beiming Immortal Race, Beiming Qingqiu.

Ever since she was captured and sealed by Fang Cheng, she had been kept inside this space within the Mountain and River Cauldron. To this day, she had no idea she was now in the Red Profound Realm.

Fortunately, her Cultivation was profound and her Dao Heart was firm. Although she had been caught off guard and captured, she still maintained her dignified and graceful demeanor, silently waiting for an opportunity to turn things around.

She had followed Beiming Long into the Spirit Immortal’s Abandoned Mansion. Based on her understanding of Beiming Long, he would absolutely not ignore the fact that she had fallen into someone else’s hands.

Although that man was powerful, the consequences of offending the Beiming Immortal Race were not something he could afford to bear.

In her heart, she believed her escape was only a matter of time.

Just then, she noticed a strange phenomenon appearing on the horizon.

A colossal face rose from the sea’s horizon.

First came a fleshy topknot as tall as a mountain, followed by a broad, full forehead and enormous, slightly closed eyes, all rising higher and higher.

This was followed by a high-bridged nose, large ears that hung to the shoulders, and thin lips with a mustache drooping at the corners...

The great Buddha rose from the sea, climbing higher and higher until its full form was revealed.

It was the face of a Buddha Statue, its expression solemn and dignified, the corners of its mouth slightly upturned.

The great Buddha’s body was tall and robust, exuding a powerful aura. He wore a Kasaya that left his right shoulder bare, its fabric thick and heavy. Beneath it, an inner robe was visible, its borders exquisitely decorated with patterns of linked pearls and honeysuckle. Though seated in a meditative posture, he was more majestic than the grandest of mountains!

The sky within the Mountain and River Cauldron was as clear as if it had been washed, a boundless azure.

The golden Buddha Light behind the giant Buddha formed into concentric rings, layered upon one another like halos, dyeing the azure sky gold.

This single Buddha Statue occupied the entire sky.

Beiming Qingqiu recognized that this was a soul, but in its presence, she felt like an insignificant speck of dust.

She had only ever felt this sensation from the soul of her clan’s Spirit Immortal Incarnation.

’He’s cultivating his soul... Such an astonishing speed of improvement!’

As a Five Tribulation Cultivator, Beiming Qingqiu could clearly sense that this soul was growing stronger at an unbelievable rate.

The Golden Giant Buddha radiated infinite light. The rings of Buddha Light behind it slowly revolved, its aura growing ever stronger.

’That’s it. He must have consumed those Seven-Colored Lotus Seeds...’

Beiming Qingqiu realized this in an instant. Her beautiful eyes gazed at the Golden Giant Buddha, her feelings a complicated, indescribable mess.

Had she been able to leave the Immortal Mansion safely, she would probably be in her own Cave Mansion in Beiming Heaven right now, consuming the lotus seeds to enhance her own soul...

This majestic and grand soul phenomenon lasted for several months before finally vanishing without a trace, like a phantom in a dream.

A tall, handsome figure appeared on the surface of the sea.

Beiming Qingqiu was slightly surprised. The man wore wide robes with long sleeves and carried himself with a handsome, unrestrained air. He had the nonchalant, devil-may-care attitude of one who trifled with the mortal world as he leisurely walked toward her.

This person’s appearance was remarkably similar to the Profound Gold Spiritual Mechanical Body that had captured her that day...

’So that was his incarnation. This is his true body.’

What surprised her was that this man’s Cultivation was only at the Four-Tribulation level. However, the sheer abundance of his Magical Power and the formidable strength of his physical body and vitality were on par with the top experts of the Beiming Immortal Race who were ranked in the top ten of the Immortal Ascension List.

As for his soul, she had just personally witnessed the process of its growth and transformation.

Fang Cheng walked up to the Starlight Sphere and looked the cold, beautiful woman up and down, his gaze filled with aggression.

This woman was a Five Tribulation Cultivator and an absolute top-tier beauty. Her Primordial Yin was abundant, and her Dharma Body was like a treasure trove. If he could engage in Dual Cultivation with her, it would be immensely beneficial to him.

In the past few days, he had consumed the Immortal Peaches and lotus seeds, causing his physical body and soul to improve by leaps and bounds. Now, it was time to let things settle for a while.
