Chapter 94

As the true essence within his body continuously flowed out, Lin Tian sat cross-legged, and the Four Extremes Scripture rapidly circulated. While the true essence was flowing out, it forged new true essence to fill his body, compensating for the loss of true essence.

"Hum!"

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged and entered Lin Tian's body.

The radius of the True Essence Condensation Array was about a hundred zhang. It occupied less area than the Mad Wolf Heavy Array and did not have such detailed zoning. However, if one were to compare the two, they were not much different. The closer one was to the center of the array, the faster the true essence would flow out.

"I am about ninety zhang away from the center. The speed at which I recover true essence by circulating the Four Extremes Scripture cannot keep up with the rate at which it flows out. This array is indeed not simple."

Lin Tian thought to himself.

Without overthinking, he took another deep breath and began to seriously circulate the Four Extremes Scripture.

Compared to the physical training within the Mad Wolf Heavy Array, the cultivation within the True Essence Condensation Array was somewhat monotonous. However, Lin Tian did not mind. The path of cultivation was fraught with difficulties and dangers. A little monotony was nothing. If he could not endure such monotony, how could he become stronger?

Soon, three hours passed.

At this point, Lin Tian felt that the true essence within his body had severely depleted, losing about two-thirds of it.

"I can probably last for another two hours."

Muttering to himself, Lin Tian continued to cultivate.

Midday had long passed, and another two hours went by. By now, the true essence in his body was less than one-tenth. At this moment, Lin Tian stood up and walked out of the array. Soon, he stepped out of the array's range, and the fresh air immediately greeted him. The feeling of true essence flowing out disappeared, and he instantly felt much more relaxed.

Lin Tian stood in place, sensing for a moment, and found that although the true essence in his body had decreased by ninety percent, the remaining ten percent was much more condensed and substantial. It was like two cotton balls, one naturally piled up and the other compressed. They might look the same in volume, but their quality was different.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian walked out.

"How do you feel?"

Seeing Lin Tian emerge from the True Essence Condensation Array, Luo Xiao asked with a smile.

"Pretty good."

Lin Tian replied.

Luo Xiao smiled and said, "The True Essence Condensation Array has a radius of a hundred zhang. Although there are no precise levels, predecessors have summarized some experiences, dividing every ten zhang into a level. Simply put, if you can achieve a balance between the forging and loss of true essence at a position ten zhang from the edge, the condensation of true essence can increase by twenty percent. If you can achieve this at a position twenty zhang from the edge, the condensation can increase by forty percent, and so on. If you can achieve this at the center, the condensation and recovery rate of true essence can double."

The more condensed a martial artist's true essence, the longer they can sustain in battle, and their combat power will be stronger.

Of course, a faster recovery rate of true essence is also a great benefit.

"Thank you, Senior."

Lin Tian said.

Lin Tian roughly estimated that his true essence condensation had increased by about ten percent.

"Alright, no need to be polite. Go back and rest, and strive to reach the Divine Pulse Realm as soon as possible."

Luo Xiao said.

Lin Tian smiled and agreed. After bidding farewell to Luo Xiao, he returned to his residence.

It was already close to dusk. After returning, Lin Tian rested for two hours. At midnight, he came to the top pavilion and began to cultivate by drawing the Spirit Gathering Pattern.

"Hum!"

At midnight, the stars were brilliant, and they fell around Lin Tian, intertwining with him.

After cultivating in the True Essence Condensation Array for five hours, Lin Tian felt that his true essence had become more condensed, and his cultivation realm was more stable. However, he did not rush to take the Spirit Nourishing Pill but continued to consolidate his realm. A tall building starts from the ground, and the importance of a solid foundation cannot be overstated. He would not be careless in this regard.

After a night of cultivation, Lin Tian felt that his realm was even more solid.

The next morning, after eating some food, he came to the True Essence Condensation Array again.

Thus, the cycle continued, and five days passed in a blink.

On this day, Lin Tian walked out of the True Essence Condensation Array, feeling refreshed. In five days, he had already reached a balance between the forging and loss of true essence at a position ten zhang from the edge. The condensation of his true essence had increased by about thirty percent, and the Ninth Heaven of Body Refinement was thoroughly stabilized.

"Good, quite a significant change!"

Luo Xiao praised.

After observing Lin Tian for five consecutive days, Luo Xiao noticed a significant change each time he emerged from the array. This time, the change was particularly noticeable, a qualitative leap from quantitative changes.

"Thanks to Senior." Lin Tian smiled.

After talking with Luo Xiao for a while, Lin Tian bid farewell and left.

On his way back, Lin Tian's eyes gleamed with a faint light. It was time to advance to the Divine Pulse Realm!

After about half an hour, Lin Tian returned to his residence.

Without resting, Lin Tian went straight to the top pavilion and began to circulate the Four Extremes Scripture, letting the true essence flow through his body repeatedly. This process lasted for about an hour. After an hour, Lin Tian felt his spirit and energy reach their peak, and he finally stopped cultivating.

His right hand moved slightly, and a small jade bottle appeared in his hand.

He carefully opened the bottle cap, and immediately, a rich fragrance wafted out, even more intense than that of the Nine Curves Essence Pill. Just by smelling this fragrance, Lin Tian felt his pores relax, and the true essence in his body swelled as if it were leaping.

"Truly a treasure worth millions of spirit coins!"

Lin Tian thought to himself.

Thinking about it, the Martial Mansion was really generous to use such a valuable pill as a reward.

He carefully took out the Spirit Nourishing Pill from the small jade bottle. The Spirit Nourishing Pill was about the same size as the Nine Curves Essence Pill, red in color, and fragrant. Lin Tian took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and swallowed the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

The Spirit Nourishing Pill rolled down his throat and melted like ice.

At first, swallowing the Spirit Nourishing Pill had no effect, but after about ten breaths, Lin Tian suddenly felt as if his body was burning. An extreme heat rose within him, as if a volcano had erupted inside, trying to dry him out.

In an instant, Lin Tian's skin turned bright red.

Immediately, a sharp pain followed.

"Stay calm!"

Lin Tian thought to himself.

Enduring the intense pain, he closed his eyes and focused his mind entirely on his body.

The intense pain continued, and the power of the Spirit Nourishing Pill began to surge, fiercely impacting Lin Tian's body. In an instant, hundreds of small light points lit up within Lin Tian's body, like stars in the night sky.

At this moment, although Lin Tian could not see inside his body, he had a strange feeling that he could clearly sense the existence of these small light points. It was as if he could know where his hand was and where his feet were, even with his eyes closed.

"Dao Points!"

A flash of light appeared in Lin Tian's eyes.

Dao Points are the acupoints that naturally exist in the human body. These acupoints are located on the meridians of energy, spread throughout the body. After reaching the Ninth Heaven of Body Refinement, martial artists can draw more spiritual energy into their bodies, stimulating the Dao Points all over their body, and connect a group of Dao Points through forged meridians to form the first Divine Pulse, thus entering the Divine Pulse Realm.

The Spirit Nourishing Pill is a massive aggregation of spiritual energy and a catalyst that makes all the Dao Points in the body manifest at once. At this moment, all the Dao Points had manifested, and Lin Tian could clearly sense their positions. At the same time, the dissolution of the Spirit Nourishing Pill filled his body with an immense amount of spiritual energy.

"Begin, the first Divine Pulse!"

Lin Tian muttered to himself.

The human body has hundreds of Dao Points, which the ancients divided into nine groups. These nine groups of Dao Points start from the head and end at the limbs and organs. The limbs are the left and right hands and legs, and the organs are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The human body has two lungs and two kidneys, but the acupoints can still be grouped together. Thus, these nine groups of Dao Points, connected by meridians, can form nine Divine Pulses.

At this moment, Lin Tian began to circulate the Four Extremes Scripture, using his instinct to guide the true essence through the meridians to construct the first Divine Pulse.

He chose the group of Dao Points in his left arm as the basis for the first Divine Pulse!

"Hum!"

As he circulated the Four Extremes Scripture and the true essence flowed into the meridians, the intense pain became even more severe. At this moment, the pain extended from his head to his left arm, even to each finger, as if a small person inside him was using a sharp blade to stab his body fiercely.

Gradually, the silver light on his skin turned into a blood-red glow.

And the pain became even more intense.

"Continue!"

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and endured.

Using the true essence as a needle and the meridians as a thread, he connected the meridians from his head to his left arm, relying on his instinctive sense of his body. He connected these meridians to the small light points on this route, which were the Dao Points on this Divine Pulse.

Each step of this process was excruciatingly painful, but Lin Tian's resilience was extremely strong. He did not even groan, and the light in his eyes became even more intense. Despite the pain, every time he connected a small light point with a meridian, his aura grew stronger.

This, of course, was a form of motivation.

Thus, time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three hours had gone by.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a powerful energy surged from within Lin Tian. Even with his eyes closed, Lin Tian could feel the difference in himself, especially from his head to his left arm. His muscles were stronger, his blood flow smoother, and his fists were filled with explosive power, as if he could punch a Ninth Heaven of Body Refinement expert to death with one blow.

Opening his eyes, Lin Tian's pupils gleamed with light: "Finally, I have entered the Divine Pulse Realm!"
