Wu Shattered Star River

Time passed by bit by bit. Jiang Han, in his seclusion, had no concept of time. His main focus was on comprehending the divine aura within the cave.

He didn't even bother to check the specific extent of his body's enhancement, only continuously drawing down the misty spiritual energy above for the Heavenly Beast Cauldron to absorb.

A month passed quickly. Jiang Han comprehended another trace of divine aura, and the gravity enveloping his body lessened.

He had already comprehended quite a bit of divine aura and felt that the jigsaw puzzle was about to be completed. He estimated that with a bit more comprehension, he could piece together a complete picture and know what kind of profound meaning he was specifically comprehending.

His physical body should have been enhanced quite a bit again, but there was no obvious qualitative change. So Jiang Han didn't bother with it and just continued absorbing, focusing on comprehending the divine aura.

Another month passed, and Jiang Han once again felt the pressure enveloping his physical body decrease. He stopped cultivating.

He immediately sensed the condition of his physical body and was secretly astonished. His physical body was still rapidly improving and had strengthened several times over.

He no longer had a concept of how strong his physical body was now. He would have to go out and find a strong cultivator to test it and have a Dao Harmonization Realm expert bombard him to calculate it.

"Still no transformation!"

Jiang Han felt somewhat regretful. He didn't know how much more immortal energy he needed to absorb for his physical body to transform. Could it evolve into an immortal body?

If it really evolved into an immortal body, that would be a bit terrifying. With an immortal body, probably even ordinary Dao Harmonization Realm experts wouldn't be able to break through his defense, right? Would Huang Xiao be able to kill him with one move?

Jiang Han didn't know and was very much looking forward to it.

However, so much time had passed. He didn't know what the situation was outside. Had Huang Xiao come out of seclusion? Could the Peace Alliance still hold on?

Thinking of this, Jiang Han didn't dare to delay any longer. He didn't even bother to rest and immediately began to climb the stone steps.

Under normal circumstances, he could easily climb twenty steps. He was currently only nineteen steps away from the top of the stone steps, so he wanted to reach the summit directly.

However, he was clearly overthinking it. Perhaps because he was getting close to the top, he felt the pressure increase greatly with each step he climbed.

He only climbed twelve steps before he felt somewhat unable to move.

"There are still seven steps…"

Jiang Han lay on the stone steps, looking at the stele within reach, looking at the black hole shimmering with colorful light. He wanted to grit his teeth and climb up in one breath.

But he knew that even if he tried his best and climbed desperately, he would probably only be able to climb another three or four steps before he wouldn't be able to move at all.

"Try? Climb two more steps?"

Jiang Han was somewhat unwilling. He thought about it, gritted his teeth, and climbed one more step. As he expected, the invisible pressure suddenly increased, and several times over, pressing him down so that he couldn't even sit up.

The feeling was as if his whole body was being stepped on hard by a giant foot, grinding him into the ground.

He had previously thought he could climb three or four steps, but now he couldn't even move after climbing two.

"Only five steps left!"

Jiang Han felt somewhat regretful. How great would it be if he could climb straight to the top in one go? Five steps, only half a zhang away, within reach, yet he could only watch helplessly and couldn't reach the summit.

However, having reached this point, the divine aura was even clearer, and the misty spiritual energy was truly within reach, only a zhang away.

"This misty spiritual energy is so close. Can I think of a way to draw a large amount of spiritual energy down?"

His heart stirred. The misty spiritual energy was so close. Could he think of some way to draw a large amount of spiritual energy down?

That way, he could quickly enhance his physical body. Perhaps if the extent of his physical body's enhancement was large enough, his ability to withstand this invisible pressure would also increase, and the time to reach the summit would be faster.

Moreover, the faster his physical body improved, the greater the chance of transformation would be.

"How to draw it down?"

Jiang Han fell into deep thought. Releasing Dao techniques was definitely not an option. Even if he released the Four Extremes Wind Prison, it would be directly shattered by the invisible pressure as soon as it was released.

"Let's try it!"

Jiang Han activated his Xuan Power and used the power of the Four Daos to condense a tornado.

Without any surprise, the tornado was immediately suppressed and collapsed as soon as it formed. Jiang Han even felt that the Dao technique hadn't even formed…

He tried to release several other Dao techniques, but they were all annihilated as soon as they were released.

"Should I use soul power? Form a tornado inside my soul and use it to draw down the misty spiritual energy above?"

After a moment, he thought of a way. He had tried it when he condensed the Four Extremes Wind Escape.

Since he couldn't release Dao techniques, could he condense a tornado inside his body? Tornadoes naturally have traction, perhaps they could draw a large amount of the misty spiritual energy above down.

He began to control his soul power and condensed a tornado in his sea of consciousness. This tornado was not the Four Extremes Wind Prison, but simply a pure soul power tornado.

Like a whirlpool in the sea, it could draw the power of the Great Dao and spiritual energy from the vicinity towards him.

"It works!"

Soon, Jiang Han was overjoyed. As his soul tornado rotated at high speed, the surrounding spiritual energy and power of the Great Dao were indeed drawn over.

The misty spiritual energy above was also drawn over, although not much, but dozens of times more than before.

He quickly took out a stick of incense, lit it with Flame Fire, and the Heavenly Beast Cauldron was quickly activated. The large amount of misty spiritual energy that was drawn down was all sucked into the Heavenly Beast Cauldron.

"This speed…"

In just one incense stick's worth of time, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron transformed a ball of white liquid. This efficiency was dozens of times higher than before.

"Awesome!"

Jiang Han was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He didn't care whether he could transform now, and it didn't matter whether he could evolve into an immortal body.

As long as his physical body continued to strengthen, that would be a great thing.

If his physical body strengthened to the point where Huang Xiao couldn't kill him, then even if he wasn't the number one in combat power, at least in terms of defense, he could become the number one in the world, right?

He was no longer in the mood to cultivate. After paying attention for a long time and confirming that there were no problems, he allowed his main soul to enter the Heavenly Beast Cauldron and continue to comprehend the divine aura of the cave entrance.

Ten days, twenty days, thirty-seven days…

After Jiang Han continuously absorbed a large amount of misty spiritual energy for thirty-seven days, his physical body suddenly underwent a change.

But it was not a good change!

The blood in his body suddenly began to surge, flowing wildly in his veins.

Soon, his blood vessels couldn't hold it anymore, and blood actually began to seep out. Blood began to flow from his seven orifices, and on a large scale…

"What's going on?"

Jiang Han was frightened and quickly stopped his seclusion to pay attention to his physical body.

He mobilized a large amount of Xuan Power to suppress the rioting blood. But the blood couldn't be suppressed at all, surging wildly, and a large amount of blood kept pouring out of his mouth, nose, and ears.

"Huh?"

Soon, Jiang Han was shocked, because he discovered that new blood was actually being born in his bloodline.

This blood was also red, but contained a faint golden light, filled with a mysterious power.

At the same time, golden energy poured out from countless acupoints all over his body.

This golden energy quickly swept through his body, and he felt like all the muscles, bones, and skin on his body were about to burn.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Han opened his eyes wide, his face filled with joy, and exclaimed, "Is my physical body about to evolve?"
