Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Jade Bone Accomplishnt, Great Ocean Rakshasa
Su Ye wasn’t surprised to have achieved the sixth level of Body Refining.
The Taiqing Cold Jade Skill was a Cultivation Technique for the Dual Cultivation of Body and Magic.
Since he had broken through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt, a breakthrough in his Body Refining was only natural.
However, for so unknown reason, the progress on his jade bones had accelerated significantly with this breakthrough!
This ca as a pleasant surprise to Su Ye.
According to the cultivation technique, achieving the ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’—an acquired physique—would take roughly twenty to thirty years, assuming a sufficient supply of Cold Jade Elixirs.
The exact duration depended on the cultivator’s talent for body cultivation and their Spiritual Root.
Su Ye was quite confident in his own talent for body cultivation.
With the upgrades from his profession panel and over a dozen enhancents from the cool aura, how could he not be confident?
However, his Spiritual Root talent...
’According to the records, it seems I have the worst aptitude of all the cultivators in the Luo Family who practice the Taiqing Cold Jade Skill...’
At this thought, Su Ye couldn’t help but feel a little exasperated.
After all, it was a Foundation Establishnt Stage Cultivation Technique.
Most of the Foundation Establishnt cultivators who practiced it had high-grade, or nearly high-grade, Spiritual Roots.
Su Ye, with his low-grade Spiritual Root, stuck out like a sore thumb among them...
With one boosting him and the other holding him back, they effectively canceled each other out.
Su Ye wasn’t optimistic about how long it would take him to achieve ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’.
He had already braced himself for the possibility of it taking twenty-six or twenty-seven years to finally achieve ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’.
It was all about slow, steady progress—a ga of patience and persistence.
But now...
Su Ye looked inward at his own body. Most of his bones were glowing with a gentle, vibrant jade-like luster!
He was only twenty to thirty percent away from achieving ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’!
And he was only thirty-two years old.
It had only been ten years since he switched to cultivating the Taiqing Cold Jade Skill!
Furthermore.
Su Ye could even feel that as his bone marrow produced blood and completed its Circulation, his lifespan was increasing at an extrely slow rate!
’Does ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’ increase one’s lifespan?’
’This was never ntioned in the cultivation technique...?’
A look of astonishnt flickered in Su Ye’s eyes.
Incredibly fast progress, superior effects, and a new, unrecorded benefit...
After so thought, Su Ye concluded it was likely due to two factors.
’The cool aura from my profession leveling up has optimized the ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’ and accelerated its progress.’
’And have my two exclusive Pastor of the Sea skills, [Heart of the Vast Sea] and [Monarch of Calamity], unconsciously increased my affinity for water-elent Spiritual Qi?’
Su Ye didn’t dwell on it.
The accelerated progress toward ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’ was a good thing.
’By my estimate, I just need one more profession level-up. The infusion of cool aura should be enough to complete the ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’!’
[Profession: Pastor of the Sea Lv.1 (9,674/10,000)]
Even with an experience bar reaching up to ten thousand, it was gradually filling with the passage of ti.
...
「anwhile.」
Tens of thousands of nautical miles away.
Deep within the Chaotic Reef District.
"WHOMMM..."
A long, drawn-out whale song rang out across the sea, its powerful waves of Demon Power rippling through the area.
Navasen stood atop a steep sea cliff, gazing into the distance.
A colossal whale, a full hundred zhang in length, its skin as white as veined alabaster and covered in countless scars left by Demon Hunting Ships.
It was breathing in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, drawing it in like a great leviathan drinking the ocean!
All the Spiritual Qi within a radius of dozens of miles converged on it, creating a suffocating pressure.
"Your Highness Navasen, will Bai succeed?"
Beside Navasen, a little native girl with large, limpid eyes stared nervously at the white whale in the distance.
"It’s hard to say... An Sha, I’m not sure if your friend can overco this hurdle..."
Navasen shook his head.
For a demon to advance to the third tier is even more difficult than for a cultivator to reach the Crystallization Stage.
This is because demon beasts reaching this step must fully awaken their sapience, gaining intelligence on par with that of a human.
Hence, the imnse difficulty!
Even for a Sea Successor Mutant Species, crossing this threshold was no simple matter.
Just then, the swirling vortex cloud of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi began to dissipate!
"Did it fail?" The little girl, An Sha, bit her lip.
"No..." Navasen murmured, his gaze fixed on the distance.
"It succeeded!"
WHUM.
An invisible ripple spread out, and a voice sounded in An Sha’s mind.
"Bai!" An Sha’s face lit up with excitent.
"Huh? You want
to give you a na?"
The little girl froze for a mont, a hesitant look on her face.
She turned a pleading gaze toward Navasen.
"How about Moby Dick," Navasen said with a smile.
In the native tongue, the na ant:
—Great Ocean Rakshasa!
’Moby Dick!’
Excitent radiated from the white whale’s Divine Sense!
It flicked its long tail, and a white column of spray dozens of zhang high erupted from its blowhole, shooting toward the sky!
Navasen looked on with a pleased expression.
A third-tier demon beast was also known as a Demon King!
Their most significant characteristic was the ability to command and control other demon beasts, regardless of species!
And thus form—
’A Beast Tide!’
A massive Beast Tide capable of threatening Weiyuan Immortal City would require multiple third-tier Demon Kings working in concert.
But a smaller Beast Tide, one ant to clear out cultivators and forge a path, didn’t require nearly as many.
A sea chart materialized in Navasen’s mind. He drew a straight line between the Chaotic Reef District and Weiyuan Immortal City.
It cut straight through the Dongning Sea Region, crossing the territories of several Foundation Establishnt families!
...
「Over a month later.」
Donglong Island.
The Ghostly Flood Dragon.
Having finished his duties and dismissed the crew, Su Ye returned to his captain’s cabin and summoned his panel.
[Profession: Pastor of the Sea Lv.1 (10,000/10,000) ]
The Pastor of the Sea’s experience bar was full!
’Level up.’
Perfectly calm, Su Ye activated his Divine Sense and gently touched the ’ ’ symbol.
[Profession: Pastor of the Sea Lv.2 (0/20,000)]
[Profession Attribute Bonus: Damage
39, Protection
19, Evasion
6, Mystic
6]
Instantly, an unprecedentedly vast and powerful stream of cool aura surged into Su Ye’s body from the void!
The sheer volu was so imnse it felt as if he were being subrged in the ocean!
Su Ye looked inward with his Divine Sense and saw the massive amount of cool aura penetrating deep into his bone marrow.
The progress toward ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’ advanced at a rate visible to the naked eye!
The cool aura washed over his bones like a tidal wave, sending a pleasant sensation deep into his marrow.
An unimaginable sense of comfort welled up within him!
"Haaaah..." Su Ye let out a long, satisfied sigh.
The comfort from the infusion of cool aura was even greater than that from cultivating the Six Desires Secret Scripture!
A long while later, as if struck by inspiration, a feeling of flawless completion suddenly arose in Su Ye’s mind!
The very last of his bones had transford into jade bone!
The ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’ was complete!
’The life force flows, perfect and flawless...’
’My lifespan has increased by thirty years?’
’And my affinity for water-elent Spiritual Qi... is 24 points?!’
After factoring in the current 2.5x bonus from the Ghostly Flood Dragon...
—84!
Eighty points—the level of a Celestial Spiritual Root!
After completing the ’ice-jade skin and jade bones’, Su Ye’s cultivation speed was now comparable to that of a cultivator with a Celestial Spiritual Root!
