Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 590 The strength surges
Immortal Body, Level 5!
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment when the panel appeared.

In the past, every breakthrough he made to the Immortal Body was under extreme pressure or in pain. This time, the sudden notification that he was breaking through felt strange.

This breakthrough had an unprecedented sense of "success coming naturally".

Just as he sensed something strange, a long-dormant shackle deep within his body seemed to shatter with a deafening roar!

At this moment, the meridians throughout his body bulged and twisted, emitting a buzzing sound like a bowstring being stretched to its limit. Every acupoint, muscle, and even skin membrane in his body was growing wildly at this moment.

As the acupoints throughout his body expanded, Lin Chen's entire body swelled up like a balloon. However, unlike others, every inch of his skin, every newly grown bone, and even his muscles glowed with a fluorescent light, as if carved from the finest divine jade. Not only was it indestructible, but it also contained immense vitality.

boom!
The innate fire within his body burned from the inside out, acting as a sculptor, beginning to carve out his bones and muscles. Every inch of flesh and every bone was being constantly tempered, reorganized, and condensed at this moment...

Under the operation of the immortal body, the energy from the depths of the pit caused its body to expand continuously, but the innate fire sculpted and condensed the expanded body again.

This transformation continued for a full quarter of an hour before the body stopped growing, and beneath its skin, there was a faint...
A layer of pale golden fluorescence, as if an invisible armor of qi had been automatically generated, and beneath that golden armor, the rich blood and qi emanating from the opening and closing of the pores was as intense as the blazing sun.

But Lin Chen's physical evolution did not end there. His internal organs were now trembling violently, like the resounding of a great bell within him, radiating a powerful vitality. His heart was pounding like thunder, and the color of his blood had become purer, flowing with a weighty, mountain-like quality.

For Lin Chen, the most direct feeling about the changes in his body at this moment was that the terrifying resistance that had been enveloping him had become lighter, and he could immediately descend if he wanted.

However, Lin Chen soon discovered that the changes in his body brought about far more than just these.

As his physical strength increased, his divine soul within his dantian also underwent changes. The number of stars in the gaps between the nebula vortexes began to surge dramatically, and the sheer number of stars coalesced into a star belt connecting these vortices.

"This is?"

Lin Chen's eyes showed surprise. His soul had grown again without taking any soul-enhancing pills or absorbing any soul energy.

Is it the energy released by the mysterious meteorite at the bottom of this pit that has an enhancing effect on the soul?

wrong!

If it had a strengthening effect on the soul, the Starfall Heavenly Palace couldn't possibly be unaware of it. If the Starfall Heavenly Palace knew, Elder Teng would have reminded him.

Moreover, this energy sealed his soul, so it couldn't possibly be beneficial to it.

It wasn't this energy, yet his soul underwent such a change. Lin Chen made a judgment in his mind: it was related to the increase in the strength of his physical body.

Lin Chen made a judgment in his mind. Although he had the destiny of "Divine Illumination Without Bounds" and his divine soul could continue to grow, the growth of his divine soul did not mean that he could fully exert the energy of his divine soul.

He had started consuming the true blood of the Flood Dragon when he was in the Refining Organs Realm, which increased his strength. However, the energy of the true blood of the Flood Dragon was not completely digested because his body strength could only withstand so much. Some residual true blood of the Flood Dragon remained in his body. As his physical body and realm improved, this remaining energy was released.

The same applies to the soul.

Although his soul was comparable to the sixth level of the Innate Realm, due to the physical body, he could not fully integrate his soul with his body, and some of his soul energy was bound.

"If my judgment is correct, the concept of the limits of the soul in the martial arts world is probably wrong."

Lin Chen squinted. In the martial arts world, the calculation of the strength of the soul is based on the realm. As long as the realm can be broken through, it means that the strength of the soul has reached the standard.

However, his physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary innate martial artists, and as his physical strength increased, his soul was strengthened once again, which meant that the upper limit of his soul was higher than that generally recognized in the martial arts world.

A quarter of an hour later.

The growth of the divine soul stars within the dantian finally stopped, and the bright moon hanging high above the divine soul star chart became even more radiant and luminous.

The bright moonlight shone down on the dantian, draping the mountain within it in a silver veil, making the entire mountain appear even more majestic than before.

The innate power within the body broke free from its shackles at this moment, circulating at a frenzied speed, its smoothness increasing by a full 30% compared to before.

At this moment, Lin Chen's innate power was surging, yet his aura was restrained and as deep as the ocean.

These are the characteristics of the peak of the fifth realm of innate beings.

It is as still as a mountain hidden in the deep sea, but its interior is as turbulent as a volcano.

His Immortal Body broke through to the fifth level, bringing his realm to the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

Lin Chen looked down, and at that moment, he felt the special energy surging upwards like a gentle breeze. With each breath, this energy was absorbed into his body and transformed into nutrients to nourish his flesh.

This is the benefit of breaking through to the fifth level of the Immortal Body. He is no longer passively absorbing the energy released from the bottom of the pit, but can actively absorb it into his body. The efficiency of the two is completely different.

"It's time to move on. We need to see what the origin of the sacred stone in the Starfall Palace is, that it has such miraculous effects."

Lin Chen's eyes gleamed with a mixture of excitement and curiosity; his interest in the sacred stones of the Starfall Palace was growing stronger every day.

call out!
Lin Chen took a step forward, and this time his figure instantly dropped ten feet. The resistance from beginning to end was as easy as tofu, and it did not cause him any hindrance.

At the top of the deep pit, seeing Lin Chen stop at 370 feet and remain there for almost half an hour, the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of the elders of the Starfall Heavenly Palace completely dissipated.

"I will personally apologize to the sect leader."

Liang Fu spoke slowly, "Lin Chen has reached 370 zhang. If it weren't for my dislike of Lin Chen and my willingness to offer him some help, Lin Chen would have reached 400 zhang by now, and could have retrieved the mysterious cultivation technique left behind by the sect's founder. He is a sinner of the sect and has no face to continue serving as the deputy palace master."

Liang Fu looked somewhat dejected, but the other elders present did not offer any words of comfort. It wasn't that they were happy to see Liang Fu resign as deputy palace master, but rather that the losses Liang Fu had caused to the sect this time were simply too great.

The ancestral master's oral decree clearly stated that the technique four hundred feet below would allow the Starfall Heavenly Palace to advance to the next level.

This means that their Starfall Heavenly Palace can achieve a status similar to the Thousand Machines Sect by relying on this technique.

Even among super sects, there are strong and weak ones, and their Starfall Heavenly Palace is currently ranked in the lower middle among the twenty-four super sects. Now, an opportunity to revitalize the sect has been ruined by Liang Fu.

Liang Fu left somewhat dejectedly, but Teng Wangshan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Liang, stop!"

"Brother Teng, there's no need to laugh at me."

Liang Fu turned around and said, "What happened before was my fault. I'll prepare three jars of wine for you as an apology."

"Who wants your three jars of broken wine? When it comes to brewing wine, who can compare with my Flower Clan? Let me take a look down below."

Teng Wangshan rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Lin Chen's ranking has dropped again."

"what!"

Liang Fu was taken aback, then his figure flashed and he instantly appeared at the edge of the pit. He looked down, but the energy of the sacred stone imprisoned his divine sense, so he could only see with his eyes.

Fortunately, as a sixth-level innate expert, his eyesight far surpasses that of ordinary people. He can see clearly within 500 feet, but at least he can get a general idea.

The other elders, like Liang Fu, immediately looked down into the pit. When they saw Lin Chen's figure still descending, their expressions became excited.

"Three hundred and eighty feet!"

"Three hundred and ninety feet!"

The elders couldn't help but start reciting the altitude at which Lin Chen descended.

In another ten zhang, Lin Chen will reach the depth set by the ancestor.

Although they didn't know why Lin Chen had stopped for so long at 370 feet, making them think he couldn't go any further, he has now started moving again, and at an even faster speed than before.

But no matter what, as long as Lin Chen can continue to decline, it's a good thing.

"Oh dear, do you think Lin Chen knows that the patriarch left behind a cultivation technique four hundred feet away? The patriarch didn't say where he left it. If it had been placed in a rock or a groove, Lin Chen might not have been able to find it."

However, just as Lin Chen descended several more feet, one of the elders suddenly muttered something, and the expressions of the other elders, including Liang Fu, changed slightly.

The patriarch only left an oral instruction, leaving a cultivation technique four hundred feet deep in this pit, but did not tell where it was located.

If it were placed in a conspicuous place, that would be fine. But if it were placed in an inconspicuous place, given the width of this deep pit and the fact that the person going down would have their divine sense restricted, they might not be able to discover the existence of a jade slip.

It's good that they're willing to search, but they're afraid that Lin Chen might miss the opportunity to continue.

Liang Fu's initial excitement instantly turned into anxiety. If Lin Chen descended to four hundred feet and missed the jade slip containing the cultivation technique left by the patriarch, he would have no face to face all the disciples of the sect, nor to face the predecessors of the sect.

……

……

Four hundred feet.

Upon reaching this height, Lin Chen saw the situation below clearly for the first time. A yellow halo was rising below him, but strangely, the yellow halo disappeared when it was still thirty feet away from him. At the same time, a few breaths later, Lin Chen felt a wave of energy brushing against his face.

"Is the energy that imprisons divine senses in this deep pit emanating from this halo?"

Lin Chen's eyes showed surprise, and then another yellow halo slowly rose from below. After observing for more than ten breaths, Lin Chen confirmed that his judgment was correct.

This mysterious energy is the yellow halo.

I just don't know what is emitting this yellow halo.

However, just as Lin Chen was about to continue descending, another yellow light circle surged to within thirty feet of him, then disappeared, and a jade slip slowly floated up.

"what is this?"

Lin Chen didn't rush to grab it, but the jade slip seemed to be aimed at him, quietly floating up to him and stopping there.

After staring at the jade slip for a few breaths, Lin Chen finally reached out and grasped it.

The moment he grasped the jade slip, an aura of antiquity emanated from it, and a terrifying suction force instantly drew a wisp of his divine consciousness into it.
