Chapter 517: Third-Grade
"What a pity, I can't immediately verify my speculation."
Fang Zhixing clenched his fist, clearly feeling the unimaginable power swelling, surging, and wantonly unleashed!
At this moment, he seemed invincible, capable of knocking down a first-grade Golden Immortal with one punch!
As for second-grade, he no longer regarded it highly.
In short, the Ten Stars Innate Blood Lotus Sacred Body is incomparable, with a power baseline at second-grade, but its upper limit can challenge first-grade!
At this moment, the system panel flashed once more.
[Nine Heavens Saint Body Diagram·Nine Heavens Chapter Full Level Conditions:
1, Cultivation must reach first-grade Golden Immortal Realm (Incomplete)
2, Collect one piece of Nine Heavens Sacred Artifacts (Incomplete)]
"Hmm, the Innate Sacred Body further advances, becoming the Nine Heavens Saint Body."
"This Nine Heavens Saint Body, as the name implies, is a powerful physical body capable of traversing the Nine Heavens, with strength comparable to a Daluo Golden Immortal!"
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but be full of anticipation.
However, his current cultivation is still at third-grade perfection, so he needs to wait a bit.
Time flies, months pass by quietly.
Unnoticed, half a year has gone by in the blink of an eye.
[Infinite Blood Lotus·Third-grade Golden Immortal full level required conditions met, do you wish to upgrade?]
"It's here..."
Fang Zhixing remained neutral, his mind calm.
The Blood Dao Skill was his main cultivation technique and the foundation of his cultivation.
Whether it is the Ancient Skill or the Nine Heavens Saint Body Diagram, they all rely on Infinite Blood Lotus to solidify the foundation.
"Upgrade!"
In an instant, Fang Zhixing released his spirit, descending upon the Dao Ancestor Blood River.
Looking around, on the foul river, numerous blood lotuses bloomed wantonly, their endless green leaves covering the sky, exuding waves of meditative lotus fragrance, gleaming brightly.
The blood lotuses had been reproducing, now numbering two hundred and sixteen.
On closer inspection, all the filth, rot, and murk around the blood lotuses had almost vanished, the blood water turning pure and lively again, radiating a strange and sacred glow.
Filth, rot, murk, all represent calamity.
While each blood lotus represents merit.
Calamity and merit exist mysteriously on the Dao Ancestor Blood River.
Once, Fang Zhixing thought of calamity and merit as water and boat, with too much water and too little boat, water can carry the boat and also capsize it.
At this moment, he suddenly had a deeper understanding.
"What is merit, truly?"
Fang Zhixing looked into the distance, the blood river surged, and Dao Ancestor Blood River moved towards decay, seemingly destined.
Then, the end of calamity is undoubtedly destiny, an unchangeable constant!
And the Merit Blood Lotus signifies new life, new phenomena, new opportunities!
The dead trees herald a forest spring!
Old things must be replaced by new things!
Thus, the essence of merit is actually the manifestation of fortune.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing slowly opened his eyes, blood light surging in the depths of his pupils.
He spread open his palm, and a drop of blood slightly quivered in it.
Then, the drop of blood grew roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, evolving into a beautiful blood lotus.
The blood lotus appeared real or illusory, unpredictable, seemingly right in front of him at one glance, but far away in the sky upon another, atop the Dao Ancestor Blood River!
[Other Shore Blood Lotus: Growth Type Merit Immortal Treasure, third-grade]
[Special Effect: Suppress fortune, endless creation]
[Synchronized Burst Skill: One Needle Sees Blood, Blood Tree Blossoms, Blood Guides All, Step by Step Blood Prison, Blood Heart Breeds Demons, Blood Severs Three Realms, Nine Word Truth Blood Curse Seal, Endless Blood Sea]
Fang Zhixing's gaze flickered, holding the Other Shore Blood Lotus, swaying without wind, radiantly brilliant.
At this moment, he only felt a strange flow of light and air wrapped around his body, suddenly becoming warmly comfortable, wholly content.
"Could this be?"
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but hold his breath, looking at the light membrane covering his body, his face filled with incredulity.
Clearly, the "Other Shore Blood Lotus" has many similarities with the Thousand-Autumn Bell, all belonging to the category of condensed Immortal Treasures, all will elevate in grade along with Fang Zhixing's cultivation.
However, the Other Shore Blood Lotus was condensed using Fang Zhixing's own blood.
"Suppress fortune..."
Fang Zhixing's heart raced, his emotions wildly stirred.
If fortune were like wind, unpredictable.
Then, with the protection of the Other Shore Blood Lotus, the wind stops at Fang Zhixing!
"From now on, the fortune belongs to me, no one can take it away!"
"To control fortune is to control destiny!"
"My destiny, I decide!"
Fang Zhixing was full of spirit, yearning to shout to the heavens.
That's not all!
The Other Shore Blood Lotus also brought another benefit, synchronizing all burst skills.
For instance, when Fang Zhixing advanced to ninth grade, he awakened the burst skills "One Needle Sees Blood" and "Blood Tree Blossoms".
Under the synchronization of the Other Shore Blood Lotus, the grades of these two ninth-grade burst skills directly soared to third-grade.
In the same way, lower-grade burst skills like Blood Guides All, Step by Step Blood Prison, all were elevated to third-grade.
Additionally, as long as Fang Zhixing's cultivation continues to ascend, the grades of burst skills will all follow suit, increasing.
This is exactly like the effect of the Thousand-Autumn Bell.
"Amazing, didn't expect such a monumental harvest!"
Fang Zhixing felt he had just welcomed a long-awaited period of gathering strength.
"The divide between third-grade and fourth-grade is indeed a watershed."
Fang Zhixing felt a myriad of emotions at that moment.
"Uh..."
Suddenly, a confused sound rang out, as if someone woke up from a slumber.
Fang Zhixing was momentarily surprised, then immediately recalled something, reaching out to touch.
In the next instant, a lightning-like object emerged.
Lightning showed signs of chains entwining its surface.
"Tian Lei, you've finally awakened." Fang Zhixing remarked playfully.
