Chapter 451: Second Level Of The Undaunted Sapphire Body Art

Lin Wu's Nascent soul, which was of the crimson eyed emerald worm bloodline grew more and more until it finally reached the size of an adult man.

Looking at it Lin Wu felt like he was looking at an older version of himself from his past life. This man had a beard unlike him, who kept his face clean shaven and even looked far more muscular.

"Hot Dang! Is this what I would be like in my past life if I exercised and grew a beard?" Lin Wu couldn't help by exclaim.

But Lin Wu's surprise was just about to start as more changes soon accompanied this. Along with the breakthrough of the Crimson eyed emerald worm bloodline Nascent Soul, the other Nascent Soul with the unknown bloodline also started to suck in spirit Qi at a rapid rate.

~shua~shua~shua~

It was as if Lin Wu had become the eye of a cyclone and all of the spirit Qi in the area started to rush towards him. Thankfully for him, the spirit Qi in the area was already concentrated by the formation array of the tomb and thus he was easily able to absorb it all.

About an hour later, Lin Wu's other Nascent Soul had also grown, but it didn't reach the point where it looked the same age as that of the first Nascent Soul.

"Huh… that's strange… why is this one a bit younger?" Lin Wu wondered.

~Ding~

——

CULTIVATION BASE Upgraded: Adolescent Soul stage of the Nascent Soul Realm -> Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

HOST CULTIVATION: Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

-Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [0000/15,000,000] units (liquid spirit qi)

——

Seeing the requirements for the next realm, Lin Wu was stunned.

"What the heck!? The requirement more than doubled?" Lin Wu said out loud.

He checked his body and saw that it was now absorbing spirit Qi a bit more efficiently and even when he didn't actively cultivate it would gather several wisps of spirit Qi automatically.

~Sigh~

"I guess this was bound to happen…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"Though system, why is the second Nascent Soul not the same as my first one?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The unknown bloodline of the host is not sufficiently saturated enough to enable a full breakthrough. Only when the bloodline is furthered will the host be able to make the second Nascent soul progress and reach the same level as that of the first one.

——

"No wonder…" Lin Wu muttered to himself. 

Still, Lin Wu was satisfied with the increase in his cultivation and could feel the power difference from before. He felt like he could not fight for months at once without getting tired.

"No, no, no. I shouldn't get ahead of myself. Better to get everything ready and be a bit more cautious before acting…" Lin Wu said to himself.

With that in mind, Lin Wu decided to return to cultivating, but this time he chose to further the other aspects of it. The first one was nothing but the Undaunted Sapphire Body art. It was currently at 25% conversion and Lin Wu needed just a little more for it to reach the second stage.

"Let's get to it, shall we?" Lin Wu said before he began his cultivation session.

Spirit Qi was breathed in by him in accordance with the Taiji Dual unity Scripture's methods and was slowly refined bit by bit. The spirit Qi that entered his body was far more concentrated than before, but Lin Wu knew it would not be enough for the number of things he wanted to do.

***

Hours turned into days, and days turned into a week. 

A week after Lin Wu had broken through to the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he finally cultivated enough spirit Qi that the Undaunted Sapphire Body art started to progress.

~DING~

——

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE UPGRADED: Undaunted Sapphire Body art: First level (25% Meridians converted) -> Undaunted Sapphire Body art: Second level (31% Meridians converted)

——

Not only had Lin Wu managed to break through in one go, but it had also exceeded the thirty percent limit and gone past that.

~phew~

"That took far longer than I thought it would. This technique is certainly a high leveled one." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Knowing that the progress of the technique would only get slower and slower the higher he went, Lin Wu was thankful. This was something that even the system could not completely help him with since it was not as simple as a breakthrough by just increasing spirit Qi.

This needed an understanding of his body and its meridians that Lin Wu was slowly grasping and deepening his knowledge about. In addition to that, his body's meridians also took some time to change into sapphire meridians.

Since it was a physiological change, it took a bit longer than normal. But once it was completed and the second level was breached, Lin Wu could feel the change in his spirit Qi. The spirit Qi that passed through the sapphire meridians was far finer than normal spirit Qi.

It was like comparing a needle to a hair. While both of them were thin, one was still thinner than the other. Lin Wu understood that his smaller size was the reason why it was able to pass through barriers and restrictions.

It was the same as water passing through a sieve due to having a smaller size. 

Lin Wu was also expecting an increase in his skills, but it wasn't seen.

"Hmm… guess I'll continue to cultivate. I'll attack the Olive Viper King when my avatar is finally here. Though… speaking of the avatar… where is it now?" Lin Wu wondered.

He quickly switched his bodies and his consciousness transferred over to the avatar. 

Thousands of kilometers from the millennium forest, Lin Wu's avatar that was traveling on the platform opened its eyes.

"My avatar increased its cultivation too, just as I expected. But where am I?" Lin Wu wondered as he looked around.
