Chapter 680: Unsatisfied Body

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Another Internal Breath flowed out of Chu Nan’s dantian and quickly circulated through all the meridians in his body before returning to his dantian. Then, it was completely absorbed by his dantian without any obstruction.

Then, an even stronger Internal Breath flowed out.

Chu Nan had already done this for the 38th time.

According to the steps of traditional martial artists cultivating their Internal Breath, they only needed to circulate their Internal Breath for 36 cycles at most to completely replenish their dantian.

However, now that Chu Nan had added the 36 cycles of normal cultivation and controlled his Internal Breath to circulate in his meridians for 74 cycles, his dantian still revealed a strong desire for Internal Breath as if it would never be satisfied.

At first, Chu Nan was still careful and only dared to increase the strength of his Internal Breath slightly every time it entered his meridians to circulate. However, after repeating it more than ten times, the Internal Breath he mobilized from his dantian completely exceeded the amount he had controlled when he was adjusting his breathing normally. His dantian still did not feel any discomfort, so Chu Nan simply let go of the restriction and allowed his Internal Breath to flow naturally.

Now that the 74th cycle had been completed, Chu Nan discovered that his dantian still had a large desire for Internal Breath. It seemed that it was still not filled and he could only continue to adjust his breathing.

In the beginning, Chu Nan felt that this phenomenon was very strange, but later on, he understood.

Under normal circumstances, the increase in Internal Breath of a martial artist complemented the tempering of the body. As the Internal Breath increased, the body would be tempered more perfectly.

When the body was tempered to a certain extent, it would have a higher requirement for the strength of the Internal Breath, so the Internal Breath would increase further and faster.

There were many ways to increase the strength of one’s Internal Breath. The most common and basic method was to cultivate diligently. Then, as the time one cultivated increased, their Internal Breath would naturally gradually increase.

As for speed, it was because every martial artist’s talent was different. Most importantly, the Internal Breath cultivation method they cultivated was different and very different.

Unlike increasing the strength of his Internal Breath, there was only one way to increase the degree of tempering of his body under normal circumstances. That was to use his Internal Breath to continuously refine his body for years and increase it bit by bit.

This step was originally the path that all Novice, Overlord Body, and even Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists had to take.

Only when his body was tempered to a certain extent and coupled with a sufficiently powerful Internal Breath could he break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate and become a Void Break Martial Artist.

However, becoming a Void Break Martial Artist did not mean that the tempering of the body was completed.

On the contrary, satisfying the requirement to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate and become a Void Break Martial Artist was only the initial requirement.

To be honest, becoming a Void Break Martial Artist only meant that your body had finally reached the initial requirement. Next, you had to face an even higher requirement. What you faced was not only the refinement of Internal Breath, but also the convergence of spatial energy to refine together.

Only by fully mastering the joint refinement of spatial energy could his body continue to increase and advance to a higher goal—Heaven Control Realm Martial Artist or even Star-Grade Martial Artist.

Chu Nan should have been like all Void Break Martial Artists and slowly tempered his body further through the fusion of his Internal Breath and spatial energy. From there, he could gradually increase his strength and slowly break through.

However, he happened to have several special cultivation methods that other martial artists could not master. He also had an experience that basically no martial artist could obtain—he was forced to float in space. Moreover, with these special cultivation methods, he relied on his powerful data ability to perfectly fuse these cultivation methods. In the end, he miraculously survived in space and even completed the second refinement of his body.

The current him had already reached a level that was close to or even equivalent to a Heaven Control Martial Artist, but the basic strength of his Internal Breath in his dantian was still only slightly stronger than an initial-stage Void Break Martial Artist who had just broken through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.

In the end, it had only been less than a month since he broke through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.

This formed a very strange phenomenon.

Other martial artists had their Internal Breath increase first and use their stronger Internal Breath to refine their bodies and slowly increase the strength of their bodies, but he was the complete opposite.

The strength of his current body clearly exceeded the strength of his Internal Breath, and it did not exceed 1 or 2 points, but an entire level.

His body was at the Heaven Realm and his Internal Breath was at the Void Break Realm. Such a martial artist had probably never appeared in the history of the entire Milky Way.

It was also because of this that his dantian displayed a crazy desire for Internal Breath. It even made Chu Nan unable to be satisfied after breaking the normal 36 cycles of Internal Breath cultivation rules every day.

In fact, Chu Nan had also felt this phenomenon a few days ago. However, because he had either experienced consecutive battles or it was very difficult for him to truly relax in the Sand Eagle headquarters, every time he adjusted his breathing, he would only simply let his Internal Breath recover before announcing the end. Therefore, he did not pay attention to it.

Now that he was in a safe environment for the first time in the past few days, Chu Nan had the time to slowly adjust his breathing and study this phenomenon carefully.

When he finally understood how this strange phenomenon was caused, he immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Other martial artists were worried about tempering their bodies. No matter how powerful their Internal Breath cultivation method was, they had to slowly refine their bodies step by step and slowly increase their strength. A powerful Internal Breath cultivation method only allowed them to increase their speed faster than other martial artists.

On the contrary, Chu Nan was worried about the cultivation method.

Although the Nine Revolutions Technique was already an extremely powerful cultivation method, Chu Nan had only cultivated it to the sixth level and had almost changed beyond recognition. It could only satisfy the strength of his body when it was still at the Void Break Realm.

Although Su Xuansheng was said to have only cultivated the Nine Revolutions Technique to the seventh level back then and had already become a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist, he had clearly broken through to the seventh level when he was still a Heaven Control Martial Artist. Otherwise, he would not have improved so quickly.

If Chu Nan wanted to satisfy the needs of his Heaven Control body, he either had to master an even stronger high-level Internal Breath cultivation method or break through to the seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Technique.

Powerful Internal Breath cultivation methods, especially cultivation methods, were extremely difficult to obtain. It was simply a fool’s dream for Chu Nan to obtain an Internal Breath cultivation method that could satisfy his current needs out of thin air.

Then, the only choice left was to break through the Nine Revolutions Technique to the seventh level.
