Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 336 - 214 Immaculate_2
Chapter 336: Chapter 214 Immaculate_2
The days passed in a seemingly calm manner, yet undercurrents surged beneath the surface.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and the liquid Five Elements Spiritual Power inside Li Shiming’s Spirit Lake had nearly filled it to the brim. His realm was approaching the peak of early-stage Foundation Establishment, and it might not be long before he could attempt to advance to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Li Shiming’s cultivation speed was even faster than Li Yuanba, who possessed the Heavenly Spirit Root at Senluo Sect and who utilized a top-grade Spirit Pill daily to accelerate his cultivation.
However, his progress in cultivation was not the most significant change; the real transformation was in his Taoist Body.
For over a year he cultivated the “Purple Qi Eastward” technique daily without fail. Although Sword Holding Peak was a smaller peak, its height surpassed the clouds, and even on rainy days, the summit could greet the first rays of morning sun.
Thus, for more than a year, he had never interrupted his cultivation of “Purple Qi Eastward.”
...
Using the Fnelnel Reflector, his over a year-long cultivation of “Purple Qi Eastward” amounted to continuous cultivation of more than a hundred years of “Purple Qi Eastward.”
And the impact of a trace of Violet Aura consumed once compared to a hundredfold amount consumed in one go was completely different.
If the Violet Aura he had absorbed and merged during this year were to be extended over more than a hundred years for digestion and absorption, the effect would greatly reduce.
Now, his Taoist Body had undergone a peculiar transformation: his skin was smooth and glossy, nearly poreless, resembling that of an infant.
Especially during cultivation: although most of his cultivation was through absorbing the Spiritual Energy from top-grade Spirit Pills, a small part of the Spiritual Energy came from spirit veins.
During his cultivation, Spiritual Energy entered his body through his pores, and now, even though his pores were invisible, every tiny bit of his skin could absorb Spiritual Energy.
His Taoist Body’s muscles had also changed. Due to cultivating the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” and the “Sword Demon Secret Manual,” his muscles had been as hard as iron, but now they were relaxed and flexible, showing no signs of the strenuous Body Refining Techniques he practiced.
The bones in his Taoist Body had turned completely jade-colored, with the only exception being the Sword Bone in his right thumb. The Sword Intent within, nourished by the Violet Aura for a long time, had taken on a purple hue and even acquired Thunder Strike effects.
Li Shiming did not know if the Thunder Strike effect influenced by the Violet Aura cultivated from his practice of the “Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique” was a likely scenario, and if not, there was no explaining how the unspecialized Violet Aura nourished Sword Intent to have a Thunder Strike effect.
This was also his self-developed special Sword Intent effect, and it was something Li Yuanba could not share.
Because this Sword Intent effect relied on the Sword Bone in his right thumb, without this bone’s support, he could not exhibit this Thunder Strike-capable Sword Intent.
The other bones in his Taoist Body had become fully jade-like, not to mention their increased hardness. Not counting the effects of the more than a year-long “Purple Qi Eastward” cultivation, his body had been strengthened by over a year of Body Refinement Techniques to levels far exceeding those of Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

The Violet Aura from “Purple Qi Eastward” was an enhancement based on the level of body refinement beyond the Foundation Establishment stage, which brought immense benefits to him.
In his perception, his Taoist Body was without a single scar.
The scars he perceived were not ordinary scars but concealed injuries from battles and cultivation. Some of these injuries were visible, while others were not.
He had been severely injured in battles and experienced slight damage during Body Refinement cultivation sessions. Though he could heal naturally, there would always be some residual risks.
Previously, Li Shiming would still find these minute, irreparable damages, similar to scars on the skin which seemed healed but were actually still damaged and had not returned to normal.
Unless he found some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to consume, which could heal these tiny injuries, but these treasures from legends were not so easily obtained.
One must not underestimate these subtle injuries because, during cultivation, these tiny damages could mildly affect the circulation of Spiritual Energy in the body, which might not be noticeable in one day but could accumulate over time and even cause a breakout of issues.
Many cultivators, after undergoing brutal battles, were no longer able to recover to their peak condition, thus getting stuck in their current realm.
The transformation of his Dao Body also improved Li Shiming’s cultivation speed. Now, even without the use of top-tier Spirit Pills, his cultivation speed could match those with Heavenly Spirit Root.
A year of absorbing and merging the Violet Aura also brought about a mental change; his spirit had increased more than fivefold.
This was not just the effect of the Violet Aura, but also of wearing the Nourishing God Jade, though he felt the effect of “Purple Qi Eastward” surpassed that of the Nourishing God Jade.
Today, he decided to begin cultivating the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique.”
In fact, he had met the mental requirements for cultivating the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique” several months ago, but he waited until now to avoid others’ suspicions.
Mainly, his transformation was rather significant, to the point where he even had Li Yuanba exchange a “Demon Shadow Buddha Form Technique” at the Senluo Sect.
The “Demon Shadow Buddha Form Technique” is a supplementary Cultivation Technique of the Senluo Sect designed specifically to conceal one’s own spirit energy, its effectiveness even capable of evading the Divine Thought scans of Golden Core cultivators.
Of course, such an effective technique can’t be exchanged by just any cultivator of the Senluo Sect; Li Yuanba, being a True Disciple, had the qualifications to do so, yet it still cost him two thousand contribution points.
Li Shiming planned to use the “Demon Shadow Buddha Form Technique” to conceal his transformation, especially the changes in his Dao Body, as the changes to his Dao Body were quite drastic.
While reviewing some Taoist scriptures, he even wondered whether he was transitioning towards the legendary Pure Dao Body.
Because all characteristics of his Dao Body were exceedingly similar to those of the legendary Pure Dao Body.
He could hardly accurately judge the defensive power of his Dao Body now; at any rate, when he slashed at his own skin with a Spiritual Weapon Flying Sword, it could not leave the slightest wound.
And his strength was astonishing, able to resist the defensive Arrays used by Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators multiple times, his grip on the Third Grade Sword Base allowing him to shatter one with sheer brute force.
It could be said that although he appeared to be an early-stage Magic Cultivation on the surface, in reality, he had become a humanoid T-rex, capable of exerting strength that could shake a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator once in close quarters.
All this stemmed from “Purple Qi Eastward,” from a whimsical idea of his.
Even if some cultivators knew of the special effect of “Purple Qi Eastward,” they couldn’t achieve the same benefits as he did.
Li Shiming persisted for over a year, cultivating “Purple Qi Eastward” daily without stopping, and he still managed to keep it up.
However, after reducing the effect by more than a hundred times, other cultivators would have to continuously cultivate “Purple Qi Eastward” for over a hundred years, waiting for the sunrise facing the east every single morning.
Not to mention the significant reduction in the effects of “Purple Qi Eastward” after leaving the Fenyel Reflecting Mirror, just enduring over a hundred years is an impossible feat.
For cultivators, no matter what realm, over a hundred years is not a short period.
For most cultivators, over a hundred years equals most of their lifetime. Using most of their lifetime, with no delays in cultivating “Purple Qi Eastward,” having no time to obtain other resources and opportunities, their cultivation journey is nearly equivalent to being cut off.
Even for Golden Core cultivators, over a hundred years is not something to be wasted lightly; Golden Core cultivators’ primary Cultivation Methods involve many continuous days of cultivation, and they surely can’t interrupt their main Cultivation Method to cultivate “Purple Qi Eastward”!
Therefore, although there have always been rumors about the effects of “Purple Qi Eastward,” no cultivator would try to continuously cultivate it, only considering it a short-term and minor method to enhance their body.
Cultivators have many ways to enhance their bodies, and “Purple Qi Eastward” is not the most effective, nor is it the preferred choice of cultivators. Body Refining Techniques, Spirit Pills, Heaven-born Spiritual Objects, and so forth can all enhance the Dao Body in a shorter time with more noticeable effects.
