NOVEL SIMPLE CHAPTER 322
CHAPTER 322: Void Realm Advanced!
What was meant to happen had already occurred. Both the Flame Body Forging Technique and the Void Realm had advanced.
The Divine Level Flame Body Forging Technique was actually quite conventional. At most, it resulted in another increase in cultivation efficiency.
[Flame Body Forging Technique (Divine): A Physique Realm Body Forging Technique. This secret technique requires the assistance of Flamestones during cultivation. Only when the flame’s vigor enters the body can one temper the physique!]
Lu Ming’s Flame Body Forging Technique had already advanced to the Divine level a known peak of any skills and techniques. For every cycle of the Divine level Flame Body Forging Technique, it could increase all of his three-dimensional attributes by 100 points and grant 100 free attribute points. Simultaneously, it consumed one unit of Flamestone.
The attributes obtained had increased from 50 at the Intricate level to 100 at the Divine level.
However, this was not what Lu Ming truly needed. What he sought were the additional effects brought about by advancing the Origin Power Skill to the Divine level.
The additional special effects did not disappoint him.
[Note: You can obtain the following feedback from the Divine Level’s Flame Body Forging Technique.]
There was nothing flashy about it, just a simple, pure, but powerful... Doubling!
With a simple calculation, it was clear that Lu Ming had made an enormous gain.
The doubled cultivation efficiency and attribute gains were enough to make up for the time spent on the Flame Body Forging Technique.
Without rushing to ask Jiu Han for the next advanced Body Forging technique, Lu Ming shifted his attention to the Void Realm once again.
[Void Realm (Advanced): This is a special ability that can break the rules of time and space! With the advanced Void Realm, you will be able to master the power of time and space. When you use the Void Realm on an enemy, the consciousness of the enemy who meets your gaze will be pulled into the Void Space. The enemy’s body in the external world cannot move, and their consciousness within the Void Space will experience a terrifying time acceleration of 1 second = 1 day. During this period, you can move freely, and the effect will last until your internal Origin Power is exhausted!]
[Note: When you use the Void Realm on yourself, your consciousness can enter the Void Space. During this time, a day inside the Void Space is equivalent to one minute in the external world.]
There was no need to look at anything else. Just focus on one key fact: one day in the Void Space is equivalent to one minute in the external world.
When Lu Ming explained the effects of the advanced Void Realm, both he and Jiu Han fell into a deep, reflective silence.
For any normal person, such a terrifying time ratio would be nothing short of torture—enough to drive someone to madness.
But for Lu Ming, this was the greatest reward the gods had bestowed upon him!
After a long time, Jiu Han murmured, almost to himself, “It seems that the period of explosive growth in your strength has finally arrived...”
All the conditions and factors had aligned.
Lu Ming had no reason not to grow stronger rapidly!
Regarding the choice of a new body forging technique, Jiu Han’s attitude remained consistent with the attribute system.
“Ascend one level at a time. Try not to skip levels.”
Perhaps feeling more and more satisfied with Lu Ming’s talent, Jiu Han offered more insight this time.
“For practitioners of the Ancient Realm Body Forging Technique, the logic of cultivation differs at each realm. The methods of cultivating body forging techniques change as one advances through the realms.”
“But the core and essence of these techniques are interlinked. The overall difficulty also progresses accordingly.”
“If you have the talent, it’s best to first cultivate the body forging technique of the previous realm. Doing so will lay a solid foundation for advancing to the next realm’s body forging techniques.”
In system terms, this translated into a double special effect.
“Of course, it’s not that practicing the Ancient Realm Body Forging Technique directly is forbidden. In fact, this is the path most people take. Few manage to cultivate the body forging technique all the way to the Divine level. However, I’ve never heard of anyone perfecting the Ancient Realm Body Forging Technique using this approach.”
Lu Ming suddenly had a question.
“Teacher, what level is your body forging technique?”
Jiu Han glanced at him and replied, “The Spirit Realm Body Forging Technique I selected for you is called the Spirit Refinement Technique. Its effects are straightforward, but it’s not difficult to cultivate and provides a strong foundation. It’s highly suitable for establishing a solid base.”
As Jiu Han spoke, he handed Lu Ming an Origin Power Skill inheritance orb. His illusionary form then dissipated into light and vanished.
This realization struck Lu Ming: most people in this world did not seem to possess advanced body forging techniques.
After a long absence, Lu Ming returned to his small courtyard in the Boshi Tower. The first thing he did was retrieve the Origin Power Skill inheritance orb.
His consciousness entered the orb, and in an instant, Lu Ming had mastered the body forging technique known as the Spirit Refinement Technique.
[Spirit Refinement Technique (Entry) (1/100): Spirit Realm Body Forging Technique.]
Cultivating this body forging technique necessitated an environment rich in Origin Power. The greater the concentration of Origin Power in the surroundings, the faster the cultivation of this technique would proceed.
[Note: You have mastered the preliminary method of cultivating the Spirit Refinement Technique. Each cycle of the entry-level Spirit Refinement Technique increases all attributes by 10 points and grants 10 free attribute points.]
In essence, the fundamental requirement for cultivating this body forging technique was the presence of abundant Origin Power.
Within the Boshi Tower, the concentration of Origin Power, enhanced by multiple Source Array Formations, was so dense as to be almost overwhelming.
“It’s quite fitting,” Lu Ming remarked.
Whether it was good or bad was not a matter for debate at the moment. It was simply appropriate. Jiu Han had chosen wisely.
“Now, let’s see how quickly I can cultivate the Spirit Refinement Technique in the Boshi Tower!”
Lu Ming’s consciousness sank into the Void Space.
In this vast expanse, Lu Ming assumed the starting stance for the Spirit Refinement Technique.
At the same moment, Jiu Han’s clone dissipated into light, and within the next second, he appeared in the main control room of the Boshi Tower.
Inside the control room stood another Jiu Han.
Unlike the clone, this figure was clear—it was Jiu Han’s true form.
The elder paid little attention to the situation on the front lines. At this moment, he had quietly returned to the Three Elements Academy.
Beside Jiu Han lay the unconscious Divine realm expert—Qing Jue.
When Jiu Han observed Lu Ming sitting cross-legged and beginning his cultivation, he squinted slightly. Half of his focus remained on Lu Ming, while the other half lingered on Qing Jue.
It became evident that Lu Ming’s efficiency in absorbing Divine Origin would directly influence the speed of his growth.
Previously, the intermediate Void Realm offered a time dilation of one hour to one day.
Now, with the advanced Void Realm, the time ratio had expanded to one minute per day—an astonishing 60-fold increase.
This meant that Lu Ming’s rate of growth had multiplied by 60.
Moreover, with Lu Ming now cultivating body forging techniques, although his initial efficiency might not surpass that of the Refinement Realm Flame Body Forging Technique, his extraordinary talent ensured that it would not take long before the Spirit Refinement Technique surpassed it.
“Oh, right,” Jiu Han muttered softly, waving his hand.
In response, the Celestial Jade, the Iron Sprout Divine Grass Futon, the Morning Dragon Pearl, and the Dao Source Flower Furnace all reappeared in Lu Ming’s room.
Jiu Han cast another glance at Lu Ming, then at Qing Jue.
His expression grew more serious, as though he were witnessing something far more significant than the ongoing conflict.
