Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 495 Creating an Immortal Technique (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
When the moonstone was placed into the bronze cauldron, a clear radiance flowed around it, as if a veil of moonlight had been draped over Lin Chen.

The silvery-white liquid, which had already run dry, slowly turned into a clear radiance, sprinkling onto Lin Chen's body and being absorbed by his skin.

Inside the bronze cauldron.

At this moment, Lin Chen was completely unaware of the outside world, immersed in the mysterious changes within his own body.

Three thousand hidden acupoints around his body have already condensed innate crystals.

The moment the number of innate crystals in the hidden cave reached three thousand, Lin Chen felt a mysterious change occur in his body.

The Azure Heart at the heart, the main acupoints where hundreds of innate crystals have condensed, and the three innate fires hidden within the acupoints—these energies began to slowly converge and merge.

The collision of the three energies brought tearing and pain, but as the innate energy continued to flow in, the pain was diluted. This innate energy flowed in and repaired the torn wounds.

[Racing against time: There is an opportunity to fuse the Azure Wave Technique and the Boundless Divine Image Technique into the Martial Soul Diagram, creating a brand new cultivation method...]

Just as these three energies were frantically converging, the "Racing Against Time" notification appeared on the panel once again.

After receiving the prompt, Lin Chen mobilized his divine soul, and the stars above his dantian began to shine, while the vast ocean below churned, and streams of martial will began to emerge from the sea surface.

The light emanating from these stars, like threads, began to flow towards all the acupoints in his body, including the three thousand hidden acupoints...

Under the pull of the silk threads, these acupoints began to resonate in unison, with each vibration carrying changes in the flow of Qi and blood.

At the same time, it also affects the way the Canglan Technique and the innate fire operate within the body.

Once, twice, three times...

At this moment, Lin Chen's consciousness retained only one instinct, an instinct to pursue the most extreme operating mode of the body.

Under the control of this instinctive consciousness, and with the energy continuously absorbed from Qinghui, the positions of the acupoints in his body also subtly changed.

Some grew larger, some shrank, some moved, and some slowly disappeared...

"What exactly is Lin Chen doing?"

Outside the bronze cauldron, Yin Yue watched as Lin Chen's body constantly changed; sometimes he was engulfed in flames, and sometimes his body suddenly shrank...

If it were merely the condensation of innate crystals, the body wouldn't undergo such a significant change.

Yin Yue had previously judged that Lin Chen was likely to have entered a profound state because he had condensed a large number of innate crystals, leaving him only with the instinct to make his body stronger. According to her understanding, those who could enter this profound state would experience a rapid increase in strength once they succeeded.

However, the mysterious states recorded in the clan's ancient books did not describe anything like Lin Chen's...

A quarter of an hour later, Yin Yue's eyes widened suddenly, and her expression became tense. Lin Chen's breathing was weakening, and his blood and energy were declining...

A martial artist in his early twenties at the second level of the Innate Realm possesses unparalleled strength and vitality... Moreover, Lin Chen has absorbed so many Innate Stones, so there's no way he should be experiencing a weakening of his aura.

"What the hell is this guy doing!?"

She hesitated whether to wake Lin Chen up immediately...

Forcibly waking Lin Chen now would not only lead to failure, but also risk injuring him.

But if he isn't awakened and interrupted, Lin Chen will die if things continue like this.

"I shouldn't have let him try it."

Yin Yue muttered softly, "The method of using innate stones, tempering sand, and the clan's Moonmelting Grass to condense innate crystals in hidden caves has been used by some in the clan before, but the elders in the clan did not use large quantities. None of them used up a million innate stones like Lin Chen did..."

A martial artist's body has a limit to its endurance. This is why even those with extremely powerful backgrounds need to cultivate step by step. Otherwise, a powerful expert in the Myriad Manifestations Realm could easily have their descendants enter the Innate Realm in a single day, thanks to the resources they have accumulated.

Could it be that absorbing too much energy caused a backlash from the body?
Yin Yue was unsure, her expression shifting constantly. After a while, she took out another moonstone and put it into the cauldron.

Moonstone is the most precious treasure of their Moon Soul Clan; it takes hundreds of years to condense just one.

The energy of moonstone is one of the few pure energies available in the Yanhuang Dynasty. It can heal wounds, replenish qi and blood, and transform into innate energy...

The absorber will transform into whatever the Moonstone lacks.

As the clear light emanating from the Moonstone enveloped Lin Chen, his aura quickly began to stabilize and rise. Yin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. However, an hour later, when the Moonstone's energy was exhausted, Lin Chen's aura began to weaken again, and even more rapidly than before.

His skin had become visibly loose.

This scene left Yin Yue stunned. A single Moonstone could only last for one hour.
"I don't believe you can absorb that much."

Yin Yue was also unusually emotional, and took out another Moonstone and put it into the cauldron.

……

An hour later.

Vote again!

……

Two hours later.

Vote again!

……

Three hours later!
……

……

Ten hours later, Yin Yue's hand holding the Moonstone was trembling. Lin Chen had consumed the Moonstone that their Moon Soul Clan had accumulated over three thousand years.

The Moon Soul Clan has existed for many years, and naturally has more than ten Moonstones. However, the Moonstones are not entirely useless in the clan. She only has fifteen Moonstones in total, and she has already given eleven to Lin Chen.

From a purely cost-effective perspective, she could have ignored Lin Chen long ago. Even if she needed Lin Chen to do her a favor in a few months, she could have found someone more suitable than Lin Chen with the resources she had used.

The reason Yin Yue didn't give up on Lin Chen was because it was she who suggested this training for Lin Chen, and that's why she wanted to take full responsibility for him.

……

Inside the cauldron.

When the energy of the eleventh Moonstone surged into Lin Chen's body, the innate crystals of the three thousand hidden acupoints suddenly resonated.

The vast ocean surged in his dantian, three clusters of innate fire wrapped in blazing golden light, the stars in the Martial Soul Diagram flickered wildly, and the constantly surging Qinghui energy was what blended these three together.

boom!
Finally, after multiple reorganizations of the acupoints in his body, and the repeated evaporation and regeneration of his blood, with this roar, the blood and qi in his body flowed like molten lava.

Golden lines appear on the skin's surface. Each time the lines light up, old skin peels off like ashes, and the newly formed skin reveals a warm, jade-like luster.

"Use the body as a furnace, and the soul as a diagram..."

The clear light within the cauldron collapsed and shrank into Lin Chen's brow, and a vortex suddenly unfolded in the center of the Martial Soul Diagram.

The energy of the Azure Sea evaporates into mist, and the primordial fire condenses into lamps...

"Crack!"

The bronze cauldron shattered upon impact, and Lin Chen stood suspended in mid-air.

The three thousand hidden acupoints around his body transformed into miniature star vortices that rotated on their own, each rotation drawing in the spontaneous infusion of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Her skin had a faint golden sheen, and her flesh seemed to have a glassy texture as if it had been washed by moonlight.

Yin Yue looked at Lin Chen, her eyes narrowing. The aura emanating from Lin Chen at this moment was very strange, possessing the vitality of new life, yet also the vicissitudes of time...

Two completely different auras appeared perfectly on one person.

[Racing against time: Using the body as a furnace, the soul as a blueprint, flames refine the essence, moonlight cleanses the marrow, and the vast ocean as the veins...]

At this moment, Lin Chen looked at the cultivation technique incantation displayed on the panel—the very technique that his body had instinctively integrated into—and his eyes shone brightly. [Please name it!]

"So, is this a cultivation technique I created myself?"

"I can feel the vitality within my body growing endlessly, and my physical body will not be burned even in the innate fire. So let's name it the Immortal Technique."

[The Immortal Technique!]

As Lin Chen named the new technique in his mind, the panel quickly appeared before his eyes.

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Realm Level: Innate Second Realm]

[Innate Technique: Immortal Art] (Can be evolved)
[Soul: Level 10]

[Comprehension: Level 7]

[Martial Soul: The Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea]

[Immortal Body: Level One]

Lin Chen was stunned when he saw the numbers displayed on the panel. His Qi, speed, and defense had disappeared, and in their place was the Immortal Body.

Immortal Body Level 1!
One layer means there are two layers and three layers...

Although he no longer had detailed information on his qi and speed, Lin Chen was certain that his strength had made a leap forward.

The next moment, his figure transformed into a streak of light and appeared at the courtyard wall, punching the air.

The cyan light shield reappeared, but under Lin Chen's punch, the light shield trembled, and the light shield at the point where the fist was located was forcibly stretched by 10 feet.

Seeing the power of Lin Chen's punch, Yin Yue blinked slightly. The array in the courtyard could withstand even a sixth-level Innate Realm expert for several breaths. Normally, let alone a second-level Innate Realm expert, even a third-level Innate Realm expert would find it difficult to shake the array.

Although Lin Chen's punch failed to break the formation, its power was something that even ordinary martial artists at the third level of the Innate Realm could not achieve.

Lin Chen's current realm is still at the second level of the Innate Realm, because more than 100 of his 365 main acupoints have not yet condensed Innate Crystals.

A person at the second level of the Innate Realm, without using their divine soul, is no weaker than a typical person at the third level of the Innate Realm. If they use their divine soul, they can even fight against the best of the third level of the Innate Realm.

In the Innate Realm, one can fight across realms...

Yin Yue had a vague intuition that Lin Chen might change the future course of the Yan Dynasty.

……

……

The Yan Dynasty.

The Imperial Domain, also known as the Central Plains.

This is the domain where the royal family of the Yan Dynasty resides, and it is also the most low-profile domain in the entire Yan Dynasty.

The royal family keeps a low profile, and very few martial artists from outside the royal domain come to visit.

At that moment, a stone tower in the palace suddenly trembled, and several figures appeared in front of the tower almost simultaneously.

A dozen or so breaths later, an old man slowly walked out of the stone tower gate.

"Uncle, what has happened?"

"The divine seal has dissipated a bit more."

The old man spoke slowly, but what he said caused the expressions of the people present to change drastically.

For the royal family, ever since the passing of their founding emperor, their only thought has been how to ensure the divine seal remains intact.

As long as the divine seal remains, the royal family will continue to be the rulers of the Flame Emperor.

To this end, they relinquished control over the Yan Dynasty, allowed major super sects to establish autonomous regions, created martial arts mountains, and rewarded martial arts geniuses. It can be said that they truly acted without any selfish motives.

When the founding emperor took that step, he made a grand vow to condense the divine seal. After the founding emperor passed away, the only way to preserve the divine seal was to continuously give back to the Yan Dynasty, so that the divine seal could dissipate more slowly.

"Has anything happened in the outside world recently? The divine seal has been dissipating a little faster than before in the past year."

The old man looked at the group of people in front of him, and the middle-aged man in the middle replied, "Uncle, not long ago, the Eight Desolations Sect went to war with the Canglan Sect, and many martial artists from both regions were killed or wounded."

Upon hearing the younger man's reply, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he sighed softly, "It seems that he can't wait any longer."

"Uncle, are we just going to let the divine seal dissipate like this?"

A middle-aged man spoke with a look of resentment, and the old man remained silent for a long time before finally replying with only one sentence.

"A family that has never produced a god-level expert before has been able to produce a second one in a row. The great trend of heaven and earth cannot be changed by human power."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged men all looked dejected.

They weren't unaware of this principle; they were just somewhat unwilling to accept it.

"Preserving the family is the top priority right now; we can ignore everything else."

The old man knew that these younger generations were unwilling to accept this, but for the royal family, the most important thing at the moment was to preserve the family's existence.

Historically, there have been many royal families in various dynasties who were unwilling to withdraw from the political arena, and the final result was that their entire families ceased to exist under the influence of the prevailing trends.

"Let him do whatever he wants, don't stop him."

"Yes!"

Several middle-aged men respectfully agreed.

The old man turned and walked back to the pagoda, but suddenly stopped before stepping through the gate.

"Wudao Mountain is now fully open."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged men showed excitement on their faces, but the old man's next words poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

"This action is not for the continuation of the divine seal, but for the survival of my race."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man disappeared into the tower, leaving only a few men standing there, their faces thoughtful.

There seems to be a deeper meaning in what the Imperial Uncle said. Is there something they don't know?
……

Inside the pagoda, the old man looked at the divine seal floating inside, shimmering with seven-colored light, and his eyes also showed confusion.

Why did the divine seal suddenly vibrate like that?
This was something that had never happened before since he took charge of guarding the divine seal.

Even that person only drew away one-tenth of the divine seal's energy at the time, without causing the divine seal to tremble.

What exactly happened in the outside world?
……

A day later, all the martial artists of the Yan Dynasty were shocked by a piece of news.

The royal family issued a proclamation to the world announcing the opening of the Tongtian Tower at Wudao Mountain, a tower with a height of one hundred stories.

At the same time, a "Sky-Piercing Ranking" will be launched, ranking those who conquer the tower based on their performance, with the top 100 receiving a reward.

Only the champion of each Martial Arts Mountain competition is qualified to enter the tower. Those who are not the champion of Martial Arts Mountain must defeat the champion of the same level and take away their qualification before they can enter the tower.

This list only includes martial artists under the age of 100.

The moment the official document was released, the world was shocked!
