Chapter 34: Chapter 33: Possessing Wisdom, but Not Too Much

Wen Zhixing’s entire body suddenly flushed an intense red.

Immediately afterward, his blood began to steam, forming an extremely dense layer of blood mist on the surface of his body.

Wen Zhixing’s complexion instantly turned pale as a large amount of Blood Essence was expelled from his body.

"Condense!"

He let out a soft shout.

The blood-red mist began to coalesce, gradually forming an incredibly fearsome skeleton.

Still not enough, Wen Zhixing thought.

More Blood Essence surged continuously from his body.

Immediately, flesh and blood began to grow upon the skeleton.

It was as if life itself was being created, as various organs took shape.

Although Wen Zhixing was overjoyed, his face grew increasingly pale.

There wasn’t much blood left in his body...

Time ticked by, and finally, a Blood Body—complete with flesh, blood, and bone—took form.

Because it had no skin, fresh blood streamed all over this Blood Body, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

Wen Zhixing smiled at the sight.

To condense this Life Defying Blood Body, he had exhausted all his Blood Essence.

[Your body has entered a withered state; Revival of the Withered Tree has been triggered.]

[Your body is undergoing a new transformation.]

[Your physical body is beginning its sixth nirvana.]

[Your Body Recovery Speed has doubled again.]

[Tempering of your internal organs has begun. Once tempering is complete, your organs will be as tough as iron, your endurance will be greatly increased, and your essence energy will be unceasing!]

"It triggered again, huh..." Wen Zhixing murmured, a delighted expression appearing on his face.

This is a massive gain! Gaining a Divine Ability was already a huge profit. I never imagined it would also trigger Revival of the Withered Tree—talk about icing on the cake!

The sixth nirvana, and only three more to go... Wen Zhixing mused, glancing at the Life Defying Blood Body standing beside him. Their eyes met.

The Life Defying Blood Body tilted its head slightly, its eyes vacant.

It possessed rudimentary self-awareness, though not a great deal.

"Good," Wen Zhixing murmured. He closed his eyes, his body went limp, and he peacefully fell into a deep sleep.

This time, it should only take about half a day for my body to recover, he thought before drifting off.

No sooner had Wen Zhixing fallen asleep than the Life Defying Blood Body stirred.

The Life Defying Blood Body began to move on its own, though its actions were clumsy and its limbs uncoordinated.

It extended a hand, as if measuring something, then attempted to bend down and lift Wen Zhixing from the ground.

THUD!

Losing its balance, the Life Defying Blood Body fell, landing right on top of Wen Zhixing.

...

The Life Defying Blood Body struggled to its feet, scratched its head, and tried again.

This time, it managed to lift Wen Zhixing.

It then carefully placed him onto the bed.

The Life Defying Blood Body practically danced with joy; it had succeeded.

Then, it dissolved into a mist of blood and flowed back into Wen Zhixing’s body.

This was the command Wen Zhixing had given before losing consciousness.

Inside the house, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

「Half a day seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.」

[The sixth nirvana is complete.]

[Your Body Recovery Speed has doubled.]

[Your internal organs are as tough as iron, your endurance greatly increased, and your essence energy is unceasing.]

[Your physical body has transformed, your realm has advanced. Current cultivation: Shedding Mortal Realm, Sixth Level.]

By the time Wen Zhixing awoke from his deep sleep, his nirvana was already complete.

THUMP! THUMP!

Wen Zhixing sat up and thumped his chest twice with his fists, carefully sensing his internal state.

Compared to before, he felt an even more distinct transformation this time.

A surging, boundless life force welled up continuously, suffusing every part of his being.

Previously, before his internal organs were tempered, he always felt his body was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

But now, things were different.

Simply put, he felt he had inexhaustible energy.

At this moment, if Wen Zhixing chose to step directly into the Qi Movement Realm, the Spiritual Qi in his body would be inexhaustible; such was the benefit of unceasing essence energy.

Of course, Wen Zhixing would not make such a choice.

His body could still continue to undergo nirvana, continue to transform.

When he finally completed nine nirvanas, that would be the time for his rebirth through fire, to soar to the heavens.

After checking his physical condition, Wen Zhixing opened his panel to review his information.

[Name: Wen Zhixing.]

[Life-span: 17/121.]

[Constitution: Revival of the Withered Tree (Blazing Gold).]

[Talent: Extraordinarily Intelligent (White).]

[Cultivation Skill: Eternal Youth Formula (White).]

[Secret Skill: Blood Escape Skill (White), Clear Heart Incantation (White), Concealing Spirit Skill (White), Unfounded Curse (Purple).]

[Divine Ability: Life Defying Blood Body (Blue).]

[Realm: Shedding Mortal Realm, Sixth Level.]

[Fortune Points: 1.]

[Fortune Fragment: White Fortune Fragment: 1/2.]

"Not bad." Wen Zhixing was very satisfied with his current state.

Life is getting better and better. Just two or three months ago, I was a hopeless case with only three years left to live. But now, I’m progressing step by step. My life-span has surpassed a century, and I’ve learned various arts and Divine Abilities. Compared to before, it’s truly a world of difference.

The next moment, with a mere thought from Wen Zhixing, a blood mist abruptly emerged from his body, instantly coalescing into a crimson figure before him.

The Life Defying Blood Body stood there, vacant-eyed, and silently glanced at Wen Zhixing.

Last night, I didn’t get a chance to properly examine this Life Defying Blood Body of mine, he thought.

"Grow," Wen Zhixing murmured.

The Life Defying Blood Body: ?

What does that mean?

Wen Zhixing: ...

Wasn’t it supposed to be able to change size at will? Why isn’t it working?

"Grow. Get bigger. Understand?" Wen Zhixing enunciated, gesturing expansively with both hands.

The Life Defying Blood Body: ?

What does that mean?

Wen Zhixing: ...

This is exhausting.

After a long while, and with considerable effort, Wen Zhixing finally managed to make the Life Defying Blood Body understand his command.

The next moment, the Life Defying Blood Body began to expand rapidly, only stopping when it nearly touched the roof beams.

It can actually grow to over four meters tall! Wen Zhixing nodded in satisfaction, then commanded, "Shrink."

The Life Defying Blood Body rapidly shrank again, eventually becoming no bigger than a fly.

"It really can change size at will," Wen Zhixing exclaimed, his eyes shining with delight.

Unfortunately, the Life Defying Blood Body can’t use other secret skills like my main body can. It can’t be helped; this Life Defying Blood Body isn’t very bright, relying mostly on instinct and my commands to act. Its strength is also tied to my own cultivation realm. Its power is roughly fifty percent of mine.

"After all, it’s only a Blue Quality Divine Ability; I can’t expect too much," Wen Zhixing mused. He wasn’t too disappointed, though.

The primary purpose of this Life Defying Blood Body is to give me an extra life. Combat power is secondary. Besides, if I get the chance, I can upgrade this Divine Ability. If I upgrade it to Purple Quality, it would surely be heaven-defying, right? Probably...

"Disperse." With a casual wave of his hand, Wen Zhixing made the Life Defying Blood Body dissipate and flow back into his own body.

"Having an extra life now certainly puts my mind at ease," Wen Zhixing said to himself. After taking stock of his current condition, he then recalled his conversation with Mu Yunqing from the previous night.

That was our first real conversation. It seemed pleasant enough on the surface, but I didn’t gain much from it. I didn’t get any useful information. The only thing I received, the Calming Heart Mantra, was something I already had. Mu Yunqing probably hands out this Calming Heart Mantra to everyone she tries to win over. After all, it costs her nothing to share a copy, and it’s a good way to curry favor.

I must remain vigilant. Wen Zhixing certainly didn’t trust this Mu Yunqing. Qiu Yinger was perfectly courteous to Mu Yunqing before, but when the time came, didn’t Mu Yunqing still make her move without hesitation? And that look in Mu Yunqing’s eyes at the time was definitely problematic.

And another thing, Mu Yunqing told me to get close to Qiu Yinger. I wonder what her purpose is for that. Wen Zhixing frowned slightly. Is there something special about Qiu Yinger? That, I can’t quite figure out.
