Chapter 58 - 56: Body Refinement Layer 23

Chapter 58: Chapter 56: Body Refinement Layer 23

Su Tan decided to cast aside his distracting thoughts and focus on his cultivation. Those things weren’t what he should be thinking about right now. Thinking about them was useless anyway.

"Could you... please practice from the first illustration to the last one all over again..." the Little White Wolf requested from beside him. It had been observing Su Tan’s cultivation for the past two days and had benefited immensely. It wanted to systematically watch the entire process from beginning to end.

"I suppose I could!" Su Tan said. The Little White Wolf’s progress was also beneficial to him. Thus, Su Tan practiced all the illustrations he knew from beginning to end.

The Little White Wolf watched intently, its eyes burning like torches. It was hard to imagine that such a miraculous Cultivation Technique had actually been created by the human before it. Everything felt entirely natural and flawless.

For a blind man, entertainment was pitifully scarce. Therefore, Su Tan cultivated whenever he had the time. When it got too tedious, he would clean the house, tend to the plants, or wash his clothes. Sometimes, the idea of cooking for himself would cross his mind, but after fumbling around a bit, he abandoned the thought. He was afraid of accidentally setting the house on fire or burning himself. Although his current physical strength was likely immune to ordinary flames, it was still best not to play with fire carelessly. He would leave that for the future.

They did not go to the Void God Realm again. He had a good stockpile of Cultivation Method Manuals, and there were still seven illustrations left to practice in the Body Refinement Chapter of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace. Su Tan busied himself with these for a while. What he didn’t know was that the entire Void God Realm was talking about him.

The Dominator Body...

As soon as he appeared, he broke the record of the one known as the number one genius, "One," taking second place on the Era Rankings. This kind of genius was worthy of heated discussion. He was worthy of being on everyone’s lips, worthy of their attention.

People were guessing when he would appear for a second time, what his true identity was, where he came from, and whether he was human or demon. The Dominator Body only existed in Demon Beasts; it was a Physique exclusive to them! Yet, Chen Huangbei had inadvertently revealed that the Dominator Body... was a human... No! Or rather, the Dominator Body... was a humanoid creature!

A humanoid creature? If it really was a Demon Beast... a Demon Beast capable of taking human form would have a terrifyingly high cultivation base in reality. A Dominator Body Demon Beast that could already shapeshift! This information was earth-shattering, akin to dropping a massive boulder into a calm lake.

If it truly was a shapeshifted Great Demon, it would undoubtedly be an Overlord in reality. However, no one had heard of such a powerhouse in the real world. A Dominator Body had emerged, achieved minor success, and was perhaps even nearing Great Success... How could it possibly remain unknown?

The only possibility... was that this Dominator Body was simply too low-profile. Frighteningly low-profile. The Dominator Body had been hiding itself, refusing to easily expose its whereabouts even after achieving success in cultivation. This scenario wasn’t impossible. After all, before fully maturing, one could easily be targeted or schemed against by enemy forces. Choosing to keep a low profile to ensure the safety of the Overlord Body Bloodline was completely understandable.

But he was far too enduring. Over the years, even if he didn’t show his face in the real world, he could have trained in the Void God Realm. Yet, from beginning to end, neither the real world nor the Void God Realm had ever heard of this Great Demon’s existence! It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere! One could only say he was truly low-profile.

Low-profile? How could those people know that Su Tan’s Dominator Body had actually only been cultivated recently?

Learning of the existence of the Great Demon "Tanzi," many creatures in the Void God Realm were itching for action. They were all preparing to challenge him the next time the Dominator Body entered the Void God Realm to see just how strong he really was! In the real world, those people definitely wouldn’t dare. But the Void God Realm was different. On the first level, everyone was at the Body Refinement realm, and losing a fight didn’t mean death—at most, one would be forcibly logged out. What was there to fear? Driven by this mentality, numerous people formed a challenger alliance, eagerly anticipating the chance to gang up on the Dominator Body Great Demon!

But no matter how long they waited, the Dominator Body never reappeared. There was no need to; Su Tan had no interest in the Void God Realm. That was because being in the Void God Realm was no different from being in the real world for him—he still couldn’t see. His prolonged absence left the challenger alliance somewhat disappointed. Su Tan knew nothing of the storm brewing in the Void God Realm, and even if he had known, he wouldn’t have bothered to pay it any mind.

He had no interest in fighting! He felt that fighting was rather inconvenient after going blind. Wasn’t it better to just cultivate properly? Wouldn’t it be better to reach a certain realm in the future and restore his vision? Why engage in all this killing and fighting? Besides, he currently had no shortage of Cultivation Techniques, so he definitely wouldn’t be returning to the Void God Realm anytime soon.

"The twenty-third level of Body Refinement!"

Not long after, Su Tan awoke from his cultivation. The twelfth illustration had cost him quite a bit of time, but the harvest was also substantial. It had actually allowed him to reach the twenty-third level of Body Refinement! This meant that he was now a full fourteen levels higher than the ninth level of Body Refinement of an ordinary cultivator!

BAM BAM BAM!

Su Tan felt that his strength was immensely greater than before. He casually threw a few punches into the empty air, surprisingly producing loud cracking sounds. As for exactly how strong he was, even Su Tan himself didn’t know.

"Your strength is now roughly comparable to someone at the third or fourth level of the Qi Condensation realm with a Dominator Body!" The Little White Wolf was able to evaluate Su Tan’s power.

"The third or fourth level of Qi Condensation?"

"The Qi Condensation realm of a Dominator Body!" the Little White Wolf clarified.

There were nine levels of Body Refinement, and nine levels of Qi Condensation as well... Yet, while still in the Body Refinement realm, he was already stronger than some cultivators at the third or fourth level of the Qi Condensation realm. Although his Body Refinement realm was different from ordinary people’s, at the end of the day, he was still only in the Body Refinement realm. In the future, he could also undergo Qi Condensation!

"Don’t misunderstand. I’m talking about the third or fourth level of Qi Condensation for someone with an Overlord Body Bloodline. An Overlord Body Bloodline and an ordinary person are not the same concept!" the Little White Wolf reminded him.

"..."

Stronger than ordinary cultivators! Su Tan understood.

If the twenty-third level of Body Refinement was already this powerful, then if he mastered all eighteen illustrations, and if he could continue to enhance the Body Refinement Chapter of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace in the future... where would his ultimate limit in the Body Refinement realm be? Just how strong would he become? Could it be that he could truly undergo infinite Body Refinement? Su Tan still didn’t know the answer!

"It’s truly unbelievable. Even though you’ve already reached the Peak of Body Refining, your physical strength can actually still grow stronger. The Overlord Body Technique... is extraordinary as expected," the Little White Wolf marvelled. "Your current power has already far surpassed the limits of the Body Refinement realm. In the Body Refinement realm, let alone ordinary people, even those with special Physiques cannot compare to you!"

The Peak of Body Refining? Su Tan smiled. The Little White Wolf thought he was at the Peak of Body Refining, but how could it know that he had long since surpassed the so-called ninth level of the Peak of Body Refining and reached the twenty-third level of the Body Refinement realm! A peak? Even he didn’t know where his peak was!

Su Tan felt that the things happening to his body would sound far too bizarre if spoken aloud, so he kept quiet. In the Body Refinement realm, let alone against ordinary cultivators, Su Tan was already invincible even against those with special Physiques. He knew this much. After all, others maxed out at the ninth level, while he had reached the twenty-third level, boasting a full fourteen levels of cultivation more than anyone else. If he couldn’t be invincible within the same major realm with such an advantage, he would truly be a failure.

"It’s alright!" Su Tan shrugged, giving a casual and perfunctory reply.

"You keep practicing for now. It’s time for me to eat!" Calculating the time, it was about time for Village Chief Chen to deliver his meal.
