Chapter 172: Outrageous and yet Reasonable

"Why is this?"

Chu Chen was a little surprised.

The same technique, but different people have completely different powers when practicing it. This should not happen.

"The reason may be the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra."

Chu Chen thought about it for a while and guessed the reason.

The Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra is the prerequisite for the Soul-stealing Sutra. Whether or not you have practiced the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra is related to how much power the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra can exert.

The foundation-building real person of Yunshui Sect has never practiced the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra. If you practice the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra directly, not only will you not be able to exert the true power of the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra, but you will also damage your body.

Only those with strong physical bodies can practice it forcefully.

Practicing the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra will consume lifespan. According to Chu Chen's estimation, he practiced the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra to the highest level, which consumed no less than three hundred years of lifespan.

Especially when he broke through the highest level of the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra, he directly consumed a hundred years of lifespan.

Three hundred years of lifespan, what is this concept?

The maximum lifespan of a normal foundation-building cultivator is only 400 years, but unless one practices health-preserving techniques, living for 340 to 350 years is considered the end of one's life.

If 300 years are deducted, only 40 to 50 years are left, and there is very little life left, and this is still based on the situation of breaking through the foundation-building period within 40 to 50 years.

If it was the ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant, not to mention breaking through the foundation-building period at the age of 40 to 50, there were also monsters who built the foundation at the age of 20 to 30.

Now that spiritual energy is declining, even for a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots, it is still extremely difficult to build a foundation at the age of 40 to 50. It is not because of insufficient talent, but the limitation of the environment.

Even in the ancient times, ordinary cultivators who practiced the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra would not practice the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra to the highest level, as long as they could practice the Soul-Snatching True Sutra.

Or, if they practiced to the limit of the Qi-training period, they would switch to practicing the Soul-Snatching True Sutra.

Cultivators are fighting for their lives with the sky, and no matter how powerful the Soul-Snatching True Sutra is, it is not worth wasting too much of their lifespan.

It is probably the only case that Chu Chen has sacrificed 300 years of life to practice the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra to the highest realm.

In fact, the creator of the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra did not create the so-called highest realm, and only had a specious theory about the highest realm.

But he did not expect that there would be such a freak as Chu Chen.

Not only does he have the dream-marrying magical power, he can construct a dream world to deduce the highest realm of the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra, and he does not care about the loss of life.

"The power described in the Soul-Snatching Sutra is based on the power of practicing the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra to the limit of the Qi Training Stage and then switching to the Soul-Snatching Sutra, rather than practicing the Soul-Snatching Body-Forging Sutra to the Foundation Establishment Stage and then switching to the Soul-Snatching Sutra."

Chu Chen made a bold guess.

In any case, this is a good thing for him.

If he can use the Soul-Snatching Sutra to condense the Dao Body, he can instantly have the combat power comparable to that of the Golden Core True Lord.

"Strive to condense the Dao Body as soon as possible."

Chu Chen closed his eyes and continued to practice the Soul-Snatching Sutra.

Unlike the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra, practicing the Soul-stealing Sutra no longer consumes lifespan.

And after he practiced the Soul-stealing Body-forging Sutra to the highest level, it seemed that his body was transformed to be extremely compatible with the Soul-stealing Sutra. The speed at which he practiced the Soul-stealing Sutra far exceeded the description in the Soul-stealing Sutra.

"At this rate, the Soul-stealing Sutra may break through the middle stage of foundation building faster than the Qianyuan Gong."

...

Foreign Affairs Hall.

Chu Chen came to exchange merits again. After exchanging the Soul-stealing Sutra, he still did not stop exchanging merits with Huanglong Dan.

He got 500 merits every year. When the 20 years of white work were over, he could save 5,000 merits to exchange for many skills and secrets in the Dharma Transmission Hall.

As soon as he left Yunshui Peak, he saw two escape lights breaking through the sky and landing in front of the Yunshui Sect's mountain gate, revealing the figures of two men.

The old man in black was short and strong, and the middle-aged man was wearing a golden robe and had a majestic demeanor.

"Brother Lingyin, Brother Linggan."

Chu Chen smiled and bowed. The two people were Lingyin Zhenren and Linggan Zhenren.

Like Qingyun Zhenren, Lingyin Zhenren returned to his family after retiring from the position of the guardian Zhenren of Chiyan Market. He no longer held any position in Yunshui Sect and was considered to be in a semi-retired state.

Linggan Zhenren was in charge of Dan Pavilion and was also the guardian Zhenren of a market.

In the few years since he entered Yunshui Sect, Chu Chen had dealt with the two several times.

"Junior Brother Ye."

Lingyin Zhenren and the other two immediately returned the greeting.

Linggan Zhenren asked, "Junior Brother, are you here to exchange merits again?"

They had heard about the deeds of Chu Chen, the guest elder.

In the nine years since he joined the sect, except for completing several Qi training level demon exorcism tasks, he had never taken on any demon exorcism tasks. He only exchanged Huanglong Dan for merits. He was really a salted fish among salted fish.

"Just refined a batch of Huanglong Pills."

Chu Chen calmly asked: "Two senior brothers are in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing big, to welcome a friend."

Ling Gan Zhenren said openly without hiding anything.

"Since the two senior brothers have important things to do, I won't bother you any more."

Chu Chen's expression remained unchanged and he saluted.

Then.

Before Ling Gan Zhenren and the other two could react, he drove away directly.

Leaving behind Ling Gan Zhenren and the other two with stunned faces, looking at each other.

…

"Sure enough, Lin Fan will not stay in Hanyuan Secret Realm for ten years."

Chu Chen's eyes were condensed, and the friend mentioned by Ling Gan Zhenren must be Lin Fan.

At this time, it has only been eight years since Lin Fan was punished to enter Hanyuan Secret Realm, but Lin Fan left Hanyuan Secret Realm ahead of time.

The specific reason needs to be inquired.

Soon, through Jin Kexing and Peng Zhoudao, Chu Chen knew the reason.

Lin Fan practiced in Hanyuan Secret Realm for eight years, tempered his body with the Netherworld Cold Wind, and finally broke through the body refining foundation.

The elder of Yunshui Sect learned the news and ordered to reduce the remaining two years of Lin Fan's sentence, and gave him a body refining technique for the foundation period.

"..."

Chu Chen was silent as soon as he got the news.

Outrageous, but reasonable.

Hanyuan Secret Realm has existed for thousands of years, and there are at least hundreds of cultivators who have entered it. Some people have used the Netherworld Cold Wind in Hanyuan Secret Realm to temper their bodies, but no one has ever used the Netherworld Cold Wind to break through the body refining foundation.

The Netherworld Cold Wind is powerful and has the ability to destroy the physical body of a foundation-building real person.

Even with the formation set up by the ancestors of Yunshui Sect to weaken most of the power of the Netherworld Cold Wind, it is still unbearable for Qi training cultivators.

Lin Fan was able to use the Netherworld Cold Wind to break through the body refining foundation, which is outrageous.

Thinking about it again, Lin Fan might be the son of destiny, and Chu Chen felt it was reasonable.

"Perhaps Lin Fan got some kind of opportunity in the Hanyuan Secret Realm, so he could break through the body refining foundation?"

Chu Chen guessed in his heart.

"Lin Fan broke through the body refining foundation and left the Hanyuan Secret Realm. The next step is to break through the foundation stage. When he completes the breakthrough, Yunshui Sect may not be peaceful.

Not to mention other things, there will definitely be a dispute between Lin Fan and Han Yuanhao."

According to Chu Chen's understanding, Lin Fan is a person who will repay kindness and grudges.

Eight years ago, Han Yuanhao suppressed Lin Fan and almost took away Lin Dan's foundation pill. Later, although Lin Fan kept the foundation pill, he was also punished to enter the Hanyuan Secret Realm.

This grudge, Lin Fan can't help but avenge.
