Chapter 322: Chapter 24: Cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique

Lin Jing emerged from the pool of water, then activated his spiritual power and dried all the moisture from his clothes.

After completing all these tasks, Lin Jing sat cross-legged on the ground and began to ponder…

This time at the Trial Grounds, Lin Jing could say he reaped a great harvest.

Not to mention anything else, with the experience gained this time, Lin Jing was better prepared, and the next time he ventured into the Trial Grounds, the results would certainly be much better than this time.

Not to mention anything else, but the next time he attempted it again, Lin Jing felt that advancing another thirty or forty levels was not an issue.

However…

There was still one month until the Trial Grounds would open again.

During this period, Lin Jing could further prepare himself and also enhance his Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique a bit more.

In those Trial Grounds, had it not been for the support of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, Lin Jing feared he wouldn’t have been able to hold on for long.

As for the Divine Sense oppression within the Trial Grounds, Lin Jing had no other solution for the time being.

He could, however, activate the System Space’s Enhancement Possession Function, which, once active, could increase Lin Jing’s Divine Sense strength by 40%.

With this 40% bonus, when facing the Divine Sense oppression again, it would naturally be much easier.

However, using the Enhancement Possession Function consumed too many Harvest Points, so it was best to use it sparingly.

Therefore, during this period, he could practice the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique while finding a way to condense his Divine Sense.

Previously, when Lin Jing was on the steps of the Trial Grounds, he found that although it was difficult to resist the pressure of the Divine Sense, it seemed to also temper his own Divine Sense.

With this thought in mind, Lin Jing decided that next time he went to the Trial Grounds, he wouldn’t rush through the stages but instead stay for a while longer to temper his Divine Sense.

After all, as long as he didn’t fail in the Trial Grounds, he could stay there indefinitely.

It was only upon failure that he would be teleported out.

After pondering, Lin Jing looked toward the endless sandstorm outside the oasis, ready to enter the fierce wind and begin practicing the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.

In fact, with Lin Jing currently at the third layer of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, the wind and sand outside were no longer sufficient for his training needs.

What Lin Jing needed was a more violent storm.

Just like the one within the Trial Grounds.

This Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique required continuous tempering to keep improving; if the external tempering was too weak, then it couldn’t bring about any enhancement effect.

However, Lin Jing had already searched the vicinity thoroughly and simply couldn’t find that kind of more intense sandstorm.

With no other choice, Lin Jing continued to move forward.

Just then.

As Lin Jing observed the violent weather before him, a sudden inspiration struck his mind.

He then realized…

This endless sandstorm was also a kind of extreme weather.

And the System Space could simulate any type of environmental weather.

He could completely simulate one inside the System Space on his own.

With this realization, Lin Jing couldn’t hide his excitement and immediately called out to the System:

“System, enter System Space!”

After entering the System Space, Lin Jing spoke again:

“System, use the environmental simulation function.”

As Lin Jing’s voice fell, a system panel appeared before him.

On that panel, there were several types of environments, including the Demon Race Secret Realm environment that Lin Jing had simulated before.

Lin Jing then reached out and tapped on the system panel, selecting the desert environment.

Within this desert environment, several options emerged.

Step by step, Lin Jing chose the terrain that he needed.

At the end, when choosing the location, Lin Jing had to sacrifice another acre of Second Rank Spirit Plants to modify the desert environment.

As Lin Jing made his final selection, the chosen Spirit Field began to change.

The ground turned into a vast expanse of yellow sand, and the fierce wind began to wreak havoc unabated.

The storm simulated by the System was much more formidable than the one outside.

Although fierce, this storm remained confined within the acre of the Spirit Field without affecting the other Spirit Fields.

This was why Lin Jing chose to sacrifice an acre of Second Rank Spirit Plants.

Otherwise, if he transformed the entire System Space into a desert like this, it was likely that all the Spirit Plants Lin Jing had planted would be affected.

Moreover.

Inside the System Space, the Spiritual Energy was abundant.

Lin Jing could practice to enhance his cultivation while also training the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, strengthening his physique.

And he didn’t have to, like outside, practice without any Spiritual Energy and return to the System Space whenever he needed to replenish his Spiritual Energy.

Next.

Lin Jing walked directly towards that desert Spirit Field filled with the storm.

As soon as he entered the range of the Spirit Field, the coarse sand grains inflicted several wounds on his body.

This effect was precisely what Lin Jing wanted.

Lin Jing then, without any hesitation, walked into the storm, sat down cross-legged and started cultivating…

……

Time flew by, the years hastened on…

Suddenly, a year had passed.

That day, above the oasis in the desert of Immortal Crossing Island, a projection-like water curtain suddenly appeared.

Not long after the water curtain appeared, a particularly strong and dark figure fell out of it.

This figure, who had just fallen out, was Lin Jing, who had failed in the Trial Grounds once again and was teleported out.

A year had passed, and Lin Jing still hadn’t managed to break through the Trial Grounds; once again, he was teleported out.

Quickly, Lin Jing emerged from the pool of water.

At this moment, Lin Jing had a broad back and a thick waist, not from being fat, but from being extremely robust; moreover, his skin had become much darker during this period of hard training.

At a glance, Lin Jing was a tall man standing at nine feet, with a body covered in rough, dark muscles.

All of this was due to the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.

The higher the level of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique Lin Jing cultivated, the stronger his body became.

It was only when he reached the seventh refinement.

Would his body return to its previous state.

And Lin Jing had been cultivating for a year.

By now, Lin Jing had reached the fifth refinement of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.

Therefore, Lin Jing’s physique was even more exaggerated than before.

In this year, not only had the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique increased, but his cultivation was also incessantly growing.

Now, a year had passed.

Lin Jing had progressed from the initial eighth level of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

The Cultivation at the peak of Foundation Establishment wasn’t far from the Golden Core Stage.

With the Cultivation at the peak of Foundation Establishment, along with the fifth refinement of Lin Jing’s Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.

This time, Lin Jing charged into the Trial Grounds, getting all the way to the sixty-third step before being pushed down by the fierce repelling force at the sixty-fourth step, and was teleported out.

The stairs of the Trial Grounds exerted stronger pressure the further back they went.

Lin Jing felt that after more than a year of refinement, his physique and the strength of his Divine Sense had increased significantly compared to a year ago.

His Divine Sense strength may not be on par with that of Golden Core Cultivators, but it was probably close.

Nevertheless, even so.

Lin Jing could clearly feel that his physique had probably reached its limit.

While he could temporarily enhance his Divine Sense strength using the Enhancement Possession Function, there was nothing he could do about his physique.

Unless…

He cultivated the Overlord Divine Physique.

A moment later, Lin Jing reached into his Storage Bag and took out the Jade Slip that contained information on the Overlord Divine Physique.

Initially, Lin Jing hadn’t planned on cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique.

But now, cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique was indeed the best option.

Lin Jing’s Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique had already reached the fifth refinement, and perhaps he could reach the sixth refinement in a short time.

But the sixth refinement of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique probably wouldn’t even get him past the seventy-third step.

Not to mention the final eighty-first step.

Lin Jing estimated that even the seventh refinement of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique wouldn’t be able to conquer the last eighty-first step.

Actually, there was another important reason why Lin Jing chose to cultivate the Overlord Divine Physique.

That was Lin Jing’s Cultivation.

By now, Lin Jing had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and was only one step away from the Golden Core Stage.

If he couldn’t break through the Trial Grounds again and became a Golden Core Cultivator,

Then the difficulty of the Trial Grounds would double.

It would be even harder for Lin Jing to break through.

And the Overlord Divine Physique could just consume Cultivation to enhance his physical strength.

After cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique, Lin Jing wouldn’t have to worry about accidentally triggering the Heavenly Tribulation and ascending to the Golden Core Stage.

Moreover, it would increase his physical strength, making it easier to break through the Trial Grounds.

With such benefits, why not go for it?

Thus, Lin Jing now took out the Overlord Divine Physique, intending to start cultivating it.

Afterward.

Lin Jing’s Divine Sense probed into the Jade Slip, and he began to attempt cultivation…

……

And so…

In the following period, Lin Jing kept cultivating while attempting the Trial Grounds.

He even took time to refine a few batches of Elixir Medicine.

The Lin Family’s Pill Dao, indeed worthy of being an inheritance from the Ancient Alchemy Path, after practicing it, Lin Jing definitely felt that the probability of refining Flawless Elixir Medicine had increased.

The best occasion was just recently when within two days, Lin Jing consecutively refined five batches of Cultivation True Elixir, and from these five batches, he directly produced two Flawless Elixirs.

This filled Lin Jing with immense joy.

With this Flawless Cultivation True Elixir, once he left the Secret Realm, ascending to Golden Core Stage during his next advancement would have a greater chance of success.

……

While Lin Jing continued to cultivate and venture into the Trial Grounds, another year and a half hurriedly passed by.

During this year and a half, Lin Jing would attempt the Trial Grounds once a month.

The Trial Grounds were truly formidable.

With Lin Jing’s current Cultivation at the peak of Foundation Establishment, combined with more than two years of relentless training, Lin Jing felt that he could hold his own even against real Golden Core Cultivators.

But even so…

He still hadn’t managed to break through the Trial Grounds.

The best attempt Lin Jing had was last time…

That time, just as he had stepped onto the seventy-ninth level, before he could even feel elated, he was pushed down by the powerful repulsion force.

The repelling force was incredibly formidable; Lin Jing could sense that it was comparable to the full-force strike of a Golden Core Cultivator.
