Breakthrough!

The birth of the Bodhi Sarira was so powerful that the entire continent would be able to sense it. Fortunately, the one the system had provided him with was sealed, containing its aura.

Su'en wanted to remove the Bodhi Sarira. The item floating in his hand was dozens of times larger than an ordinary pill, a shade darker than ordinary gold, same as the Diamond Pill. Although its aura was sealed by the system, Su'en could still feel the force of it: like the sun shining in the sky, making one feel hot and comfortable at the same time.

"I should start cultivating!"

Su'en wanted to float the Bodhi Sarira in his hand, and recite the chant of the Eighteen Arhats Incantation, to cultivate and absorb its spiritual power.

"World Honored Ksitigarbha, Wisdom Buddha!"

...…..

Time flashed by again, two months breezing by as if with the wind.

After obtaining the entire spirit stone mine, the Chen family's prestige and influence had been increasing every day. They had guests almost daily. It was like their moment of glory.

"Once the Exalted Disciples start cultivating, can't they sense the passage of time?" Chen Ziling stood in her attic and looked at Su'en's courtyard, speechless. For two months, neither of the Dao Sect disciples had emerged from their courtyards, but she couldn't just go in and disturb their cultivation.

"Why, no," Chen Wu said with a smile. "There's no such thing as time in cultivation. Only by focusing on the cultivation process can one unlock greater power. Although you're very talented, you have to cultivate diligently like your two seniors. Don't get bored after cultivating for just one day and decide to slack for two days. Doing so will only waste your cultivation talent in the end."

"Understood, Father." Chen Ziling rolled her eyes. She was very hardworking in her daily cultivation, too, but it was nothing compared to her two seniors! She usually cultivated in seclusion for two or three days before coming out to see the outside world. Otherwise, she would easily suffocate to death!

But with others to compare her with, Chen Wu would nag at her relentlessly after she emerged from seclusion–something about how not just anyone could enter the Heavenly Domain, and how she had to cherish this opportunity. It was tiresome having to listen to her father. She could almost recite his frequent speeches to her already.

As the two of them spoke, a strong and terrifying aura suddenly spread out from Su'en's courtyard and broke through the sky, causing the entire Chen family mansion to tremble!

However, before it could spread to the rest of Guanyu City, the aura quickly retracted.

"What happened?"

Chen Ziling stood up abruptly, her hair slightly ruffled. She was only at the late-stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, and hadn't been able to resist the force of the aura, which had slammed her to the ground. Not just her–the other members of the Chen family looked fearfully in the direction of the aura.

"The Exalted Disciple must have broken through!" Chen Wu said once he had caught his breath. Although he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was faring no better than Chen Ziling. He rubbed his head, righted himself, then straightened himself up again.

"Is the Golden Core Realm so formidable? How terrifying." Chen Ziling was filled with acute yearning; the aura earlier had been irresistible.

"After entering the Heavenly Domain, follow in the footsteps of the sect and work hard to refine your cultivation. Then you'll be able to enter this realm in the future." Chen Wu still had some faith in his daughter. Even with all that talent, unless she worked hard and didn't slack off, it wouldn't do her any good.

"Understood!" Chen Ziling nodded vigorously.

In the room in the middle of the courtyard, sizable cracks had appeared on the Energy Suppression Disc. A light touch might have caused it to shatter.

Su'en sat on his bed, naked from the waist up. His skin seemed to be made of gold, holy and majestic. It was as if he had become a golden Rohan statue.

He opened his eyes, and traces of True Qi appeared in the air before him.

A Golden Core Realm expert's strength was rather terrifying! Unlike an increase in True Qi, his physical transformation was tangible, making it even more imposing.

"Eighteen Arhat Golden Body Technique, perfected!" Su'en said slowly, his eyes filled with surprise.

Broadly speaking, it was very difficult to cultivate a high-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique to the realm of a high-level official, and almost impossible to complete the process in less than several decades, or even centuries. Even if his comprehension of the technique was excellent, he wouldn't have been able to achieve it.

But he had done so, with the aid of the Bodhi Sarira.

Su'en had thought that he understood the effects of the Bodhi Sarira, but from the looks of it, he had underestimated its power after all. After cultivating the Eighteen Arhat Golden Body Technique to a perfected realm, there was still plenty of blood essence left in his body.

"Seems like things don't get much better than the Bodhi Sarira and the Hundredfold Critical Compensation."

After looking into his Energy Sea for a while, Su'en contracted it with all his might. His golden appearance gradually returned to its original kidney Yang, and his demeanor was once again gentle, his imposing aura gone.

Heaven Realm body tempering techniques were very valuable, but the price of hiding them was even greater. Although a Heaven Realm body-tempering cultivation technique was much more powerful than an Earth Realm cultivation technique, it required more resources. Although he had the help of the system now, it was not enough.Without a copious amount of resources, it was impossible to cultivate the technique to perfection.

Even if he had obtained a Heaven Realm body-tempering cultivation technique and the Bodhi Sarira Pill at the same time, he would definitely not have cultivated to the perfected eighth level in only two months, like he just had. Not because he didn't believe in the Bodhi Sarira's effects, but because a Heaven Realm body-tempering cultivation technique was simply too difficult.

His current Divine Lightning Sword Technique had just two moves, but he had only grasped the offensive move. One could imagine how difficult it was to master a Heaven Realm body-tempering technique. Not to mention that the power of a Heaven Realm cultivation technique was not as powerful as a perfected Earth Realm cultivation technique. However, Su'en felt that this high-grade Earth-rank body tempering technique was more important than a Heaven-rank body tempering technique, because of everything that had led him to it.

Su'en stood slowly and gave a casual stretch. The sound of joints cracking rose from his body and echoed through the room.When I return to the Dao Sect, I'm going to need a more advanced Energy Suppression Disc! he thought as he looked at the disc beside him, mangled to the point of near-destruction.

His strength was constantly increasing, and his original disc could no longer contain his aura.
