Chapter 709: 0440 Up to the Nine Heavens to grasp the moon, down to the Four Seas to catch turtles, a generation Great Grandmaster (asking for monthly tickets)

Inner Scenery Land.

Above the sky, stars connect, one, two, three... 510 Acupoint Heavenly Stars, sequentially illuminating, faintly forming a mysterious resonance.

In the distant, dim night sky, there are still 210 Acupoint Stars looming, ready to bloom.

Acupoint Stars make up the body’s exceptionally mysterious Star Map, they are the source of power, the beginning of the transcendence, the prison trapping countless Martial Artists.

And now, the fog of Acupoint concealing the Absolute Peak gradually dissipates, Lu Chenzhou can see them all.

"This is the Nine Apertures Exquisite Grass, a treasure countless Heavenly King powerhouses dream of, it grants the acupoint-opening talent comparable to [Innate Nine Apertures] Taoist Body... I already have the special effect of Tiger Cave, looking across Da Xia, besides the Dragon King, no one can open acupoints faster than me. Even the Dragon King may not be faster than me."

For a long time, Dragon King’s century-long Breakthrough Seven was considered by many as a record unmatched before and after.

Lu Chenzhou is confident in challenging it.

At the four extremes of the Inner Heaven and Earth, the four vast oceans all solidify, on the sea surface, the phantom images of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu stabilize the domain.

Four Seas True Gang has also been refined to the utmost.

Over the past year, under the tempering of True Gang, physical defense, endurance, power, reaction speed, constitution, healing ability... once again ushered in a transformation.

Qi-Blood surged, reaching the limit of 16010 points. Spiritual power at 13000 Prajna meets the standard of Spiritual Grandmaster End Realm, advancing to Great Grandmaster, minimum 3000 Prajna.

Level of Dao, advancing to Great Grandmaster, minimum requirement of Second Layer [Seeking Dao Realm], which he already met upon entering Grandmaster, now it is [Peeping Realm].

At least one perfected Lower Divine Skill Martial Arts, needless to say, completed it right after breaking through to Grandmaster.

"Qi-Blood, True Gang, Acupoint, Spirit, Enlightenment, Martial Arts... all six major hurdles, completed."

Lu Chenzhou opened the cave’s skylight array, at night, under the glittering stars, the radiant galaxy.

"Begin."

Sitting for three months.

At a certain moment, inspiration struck him, around him floated the shadows of 510 Acupoint Stars, circling him, faintly forming four spiral arms like a galaxy.

"It’s happening."

Crack — In an instant, the trillion cells in his body shattered, igniting into a scorching invisible fire surrounding him.

"Breakthrough First trains flesh, Breakthrough Second trains tendon, Breakthrough Third refines skin, Breakthrough Fourth refines bones, Breakthrough Fifth... trains organs! The five viscera and six bowels are the most fragile parts of the body, needing tendon-bone-skin-flesh protection, otherwise, even strong as a Grandmaster might be crippled if vital organs are injured."

Breaking the Fifth Shackles requires choosing one of [Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney] for transformation, making it as firm as gold and stone, with defense on par with skin-flesh, thus facing external attacks, it’s like having two layers of protection.

Transforming the heart can train [Heart Fire Qi], enhancing physical explosive power.

Transforming the lung can train [Lung Gold Qi], to exhale and kill.

Transforming the liver can train [Liver Wood Qi], to sustain endlessly.

And so forth, [Kidney Water Qi], enhances body flexibility, overcoming strength with softness, [Spleen Earth Qi], enhances defense, strengthening Qi-Blood.

Of course, besides transforming the viscera, transforming one of the six bowels steps into Great Grandmaster, though a lower grade choice, indicating potential has been exhausted, generally talents like Qin Hui would choose, entering Great Grandmaster, equivalent to a floor tile.

For the viscera, there’s no superior or inferior, but in terms of difficulty, none is the same as the heart. The most practical, also the heart, for a long time the heart has been the Martial Artist’s fatal weakness, unless reaching the legendary Blood Rebirth, Undying Realm."

Lu Chenzhou chose the heart without hesitation. The first organ transformation is relatively easy, the further, the harder. Those with average talent often start from simpler ones, avoiding the heart, leading to greater difficulty later.

As a Genius, he naturally starts from the hardest, making future cultivation yield twice the result with half the effort.

Under his spiritual power and will’s command, Qi-Blood surged, enveloping with Four Seas True Gang, connecting with the Divine Storage Power born from acupoint resonance, transforming into a warm flow like a Red Dragon flowing into the heart chamber, the painful and dangerous transformation begins.

"Hiss..."

Lu Chenzhou gritting his teeth tightly, unimaginable immense pain assaulted him, tormenting his nerves, devastating his will.

"After Grandmaster, every shackle break carries certain life risks, with my talent and preparation, success rate should start at 99.9%, no one can achieve 100%. I can’t be careless!"

The heart swells like a balloon inflating, causing Lu Chenzhou’s chest to rise high, each blood vessel turns like an earth dragon flipping over, ferociously visible, the crystal-clear muscle expanding like flowing water, then discharging excess power through the pores opening and closing.

This way, forming a certain balance.

He stretches and contracts like practicing the Toad Technique.

This is why breakthrough to Great Grandmaster carries certain death risks, some individuals with insufficiently strong bodies might have Qi-Blood concentrated at a single point during organ transformation and explode from it. Clearly, Lu Chenzhou cultivating the "Flowing Water Body" need not worry.

Thus, he has a very high success rate.

Among the five viscera, heart transformation is the hardest, lasts the longest, during which no mistake can occur.

Time flows.

Three months, in a blink.

In the cave, stands a massive blood-colored amber of about ten feet high, within it a burly silhouette, his chest opened, heart exposed, arteries visible.
