Chapter 132: Defensive Power Greatly Increased

After a day and night of hard training, with the help of the Golden Body Stone, Jiang Xincheng finally brought his Body Refining Technique, the Immeasurable Golden Body, which was Celestial Grade, Upper Tier, to the beginner stage, though it was not yet fully complete.

After having a good meal, Jiang Xincheng returned to the ward. He sat cross-legged and began practicing the Azure Jade Iron Body again.

In his previous training, the Azure Jade power had been able to fully circulate through all his Meridians, flowing to every part of his body, and the cultivation method of Azure Jade Iron Body was unimpeded.

Although Jiang Xincheng could already operate the Azure Jade Iron Body cultivation method, the Azure Jade power had not yet seeped through his Meridians to permeate his entire body, so not all parts of his body had yet received the tempering and nourishment of the Azure Jade power, making him more resilient and stronger.

What Jiang Xincheng needed to do now, under the protection of the Golden Body Stone, was to nourish and temper his entire body with the Azure Jade power to fully master the Azure Jade Iron Body.

Once he had planned everything properly, Jiang Xincheng began operating the Azure Jade Iron Body cultivation method, causing strands of Azure Jade power to seep into his muscles and bones.

Under the effect of the Golden Body Stone, Jiang Xincheng’s Meridians could already withstand the sharp and keen Azure Jade power, but his muscles and bones still could not endure it. So under the impact of the Azure Jade power, they instantly suffered damage.

Jiang Xincheng quickly activated the power of the Golden Body Stone, covering the injured areas and healing the wounds. Broken and then restored, combined with the tempering from the Golden Body Stone, these muscles and bones immediately became much stronger and more resilient. Gradually, they were able to withstand the erosion and tempering of the Azure Jade power.

This process repeated in cycles. Jiang Xincheng’s body little by little endured the impact and tempering of the Azure Jade power. After being injured, the Golden Body Stone’s power would heal him, allowing his body to be broken and then restored, becoming stronger.

This was a gradual process, also a process of starting from small points to cover larger areas, and it required a lot of time. As time passed, Jiang Xincheng’s entire body was gradually covered by the Azure Jade power.

Muscles, bones, internal organs… bit by bit were occupied by the Azure Jade power, making Jiang Xincheng’s body stronger, more resilient, and more keen.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of hours had gone by. A faint smile slowly appeared on Jiang Xincheng’s face. After such a long period of cultivation, the Azure Jade power had finally flowed throughout his entire body. By this time, the Golden Body Stones he had consumed had exceeded twelve, two more than the ten he had imagined he would use.

Although he had used a large number of Golden Body Stones, the reward was also immense. He had finally brought the Immeasurable Golden Body to the proficient stage, and the Azure Jade Iron Body was almost at the minor achievement stage.

With a fluctuation of his Spiritual Sense, as the Azure Jade Iron Body circulated, a faint glow of azure jade appeared on the surface of Jiang Xincheng’s body, as well as on every part of his muscles, bones, and internal organs. This meant that Jiang Xincheng had completely mastered the Azure Jade Iron Body and was only one step away from the minor achievement stage.

Feeling his powerful body, Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly. He took out the Wolf’s Gaze and shot at his own arm. The green beam was as fast as lightning, landing on Jiang Xincheng’s arm in an instant. Unfortunately, apart from leaving a slight mark on Jiang Xincheng’s arm, it did not even harm a single hair.

Looking at his unharmed arm, Jiang Xincheng could not help but laugh heartily. As expected of the Immeasurable Golden Body, the strongest Body Refining Technique on the planet in his previous life. Just by reaching the beginner stage, his defensive power had increased by more than tenfold. If this had been before he practiced the Azure Jade Iron Body, that shot would definitely have left a bloody hole in his arm. But now, it did not even leave a mark. This showed how strong Jiang Xincheng’s defense was at this moment.

Moreover, this defensive power was not only reflected on the surface of his body but also in every part of Jiang Xincheng’s body. His eyes, nose, ears, hair… even his very fragile internal organs had now become incredibly strong and resilient.

If Jiang Xincheng were to face a hail of bullets like in the wild mountains again, he would definitely not be injured. Even a hand grenade could not harm Jiang Xincheng now.

In addition, after mastering the Azure Jade Iron Body, Jiang Xincheng’s five senses had also become much more sensitive. Most importantly, his legs were stronger and more powerful than before, at least twice as strong as before. This greatly increased the attack power of Jiang Xincheng’s legs. Even without using any Origin Force Combat Skill, his legs’ attack power could match that of his fists performing the Mountain-Shaking Fist, and far surpass the attack power of the Mountain-Shaking Fist.

This was also the benefit that cultivating the Immeasurable Golden Body brought to Jiang Xincheng. After mastering the Azure Jade Iron Body, the power of his legs would greatly increase; after mastering the Black Fiend Copper Body, the power of Jiang Xincheng’s arms would greatly increase; after mastering the Gleaming Moon Silver Body, Jiang Xincheng’s hearing would improve by leaps and bounds; as for the final stage, the Immeasurable Golden Body, it was said that after mastering it, one could possess a heavenly eye, see through illusions, understand everything, and become even more fearsome.

After mastering the Azure Jade Iron Body, Jiang Xincheng no longer needed to cultivate in one go. Whenever he had time, he could practice this Body Refining Technique anytime, anywhere.

By now, Jiang Xincheng’s injuries were almost healed, so he went through the discharge procedures and left Liangnian City First Hospital. He found a high-end hotel in the bustling downtown area, stayed there, and continued to practice the Azure Jade Iron Body.

Sitting cross-legged, he gazed at the distant blue sky and white clouds. The scenery was quite beautiful. Around him were food, drinks, and other necessities. Jiang Xincheng had made up his mind to use the power of the Golden Body Stone to greatly improve his strength.

As the Azure Jade Iron Body circulated, a continuous stream of Golden Body Stone power flowed into Jiang Xincheng’s body, visibly tempering and enhancing his body at a rapid pace.

The Golden Body Stone truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure for body refining. As the Golden Body Stone’s power flowed into Jiang Xincheng’s body, his body’s strength and flexibility increased every minute and every second.

The azure jade light flickering inside his body grew richer and deeper.

As time passed, at one moment, Jiang Xincheng felt his whole body tremble. The pale cyan glow radiating from his entire body turned to a deeper cyan, which meant that Jiang Xincheng’s Azure Jade Iron Body had reached the minor achievement stage. His defensive power had increased by several times compared to before.

The power of the Golden Body Stone saved Jiang Xincheng over a year of hard training. Without the Golden Body Stone as an aid, it would have taken Jiang Xincheng at least a year to reach this stage. But with the help of the Golden Body Stone, it only took a few hours for Jiang Xincheng to bring the Azure Jade Iron Body to the minor achievement stage.

From the proficient stage to the minor achievement stage, he only used five Golden Body Stones. He still had ten Golden Body Stones left on him. The other eighty Golden Body Stones were hidden near the small rented courtyard, and he could only continue to use them after returning to Tianhai University.

However, the remaining ten Golden Body Stones on him were enough for Jiang Xincheng to bring the Azure Jade Iron Body to the major achievement stage.
