Journey to the West: Signing in for 500 Years-Chapter 490 - 484: Jin Chanzi’s Ninth Life [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1
The White Bone Demon consumed the immortal Magical Medicine, and gradually, flesh and blood began to form on her body.
Overwhelmed with emotion, tears streamed down her face.
Sha Chen, however, looked calm, a slight smile on his face. He too was very satisfied with the outcome.
The White Bone Demon gazed at the flesh on her body, able to feel her heartbeat and her breath.
Her Primordial Spirit could even sense her own eyes, nose, mouth, and all her facial features—this was truly a body of flesh and blood.
This was a true body of flesh and blood, not an illusion or a shape-shifting technique.
It was a body she could genuinely feel and touch.
She caressed her own flesh and blood carefully, moved almost to tears.
For countless years, she had tried every possible method in her cultivation to regain a corporeal body, but to no avail.
Now, she had finally succeeded.
The White Bone Demon threw herself into Sha Chen’s embrace, crying, "Master, thank you. It’s all thanks to you that I have a body of flesh and blood again."
Sha Chen nodded slightly, saying, "Just remember my kindness, and work harder to repay me."
The White Bone Demon replied, "This servant will not disappoint you, Master. Since there’s no one else around, and Master must be tired from alchemy, allow this servant to attend to you while you rest."
She then proceeded to unrobe Sha Chen.
Sha Chen promptly swatted her hand away, saying, "Speak if you must, but why the need for physical contact?"
The White Bone Demon asked, "Master, do you disdain me?"
Sha Chen, not wishing to dishearten her, replied, "No, it’s not that."
The White Bone Demon then inquired, "Is it because this newly-regained body of flesh and blood isn’t beautiful enough?"
Sha Chen answered, "Women, to me, are like passing clouds; they only hinder the pace of my cultivation. I have no interest in them."
Again, the White Bone Demon challenged, "But no man doesn’t need a woman, unless he’s a eunuch."
She then covered her mouth, her face stunned, as she stammered, "It can’t be, Master... you, you, you aren’t really... are you?"
She reached out again with her Feiyun Exploring Dragon Hand. The ’dragon in the clouds’ it revealed was not what she had suspected.
Sha Chen’s cheek twitched as he pushed her away. Gesturing with a hand, a Luoshang robe flew towards her, landing on the White Bone Demon.
He then said calmly, "Put on your clothes and stop causing trouble, or I won’t be so lenient."
The White Bone Demon pouted and continued her coquettish antics, but no matter how suggestive or flamboyant she was, she couldn’t move Sha Chen’s heart.
In Sha Chen’s eyes, ’lust’ was a blade hanging overhead; the White Bone Demon wasn’t flirting, she was wielding a large knife. Though he could make the White Bone Demon assume any complex posture with just a flick of his finger, he did not desire to do so. Sha Chen was now wholly fixated on the unexpectedly potent effects of the immortal Magical Medicine, capable of regenerating flesh even on the White Bone Demon’s ancient skeletal frame.
With a body of flesh, her future prospects were boundless, her potential ceiling raised once more.
He estimated that if the Nine-winged Mosquito Man took a single immortal Magical Medicine, he could likely recover seventy to eighty percent of his injuries. Taking two would allow the Nine-winged Mosquito Man’s injuries to heal completely. With such an immortal Magical Medicine in hand, Sha Chen felt that the cohesion of his forces would strengthen, and he would be able to attract even more powerful allies.
Having regained her flesh, the White Bone Demon was ecstatic, her spirit and vitality soaring.
Sha Chen did not stop her, letting her frolic happily until she calmed down on her own.
As for Sha Chen, he continued his cultivation, striving to enhance his own prowess and increase his abilities.
Immortal Magical Medicines were external aids that could increase the chances of survival, but the true method of self-preservation was to improve one’s own cultivation, to become so strong that others could not harm him.
Sha Chen’s cultivation had already reached the high-rank of Quasi-Saint, and both his Primordial Spirit and his physical body were at a similar level. However, under the influence of Pangu’s Heart Blood, his body was growing stronger, showing signs of advancing towards the peak of the Primeval Chaos Law Body.
Sha Chen’s current cultivation primarily involved refining Pangu’s Heart Blood; enhancing his cultivation realm was something he did when he had spare moments.
After all, this kind of advancement couldn’t be achieved at will; it required a vast accumulation of time. If he could refine Pangu’s Heart Blood and fortify his body, he could elevate his Primeval Chaos Law Body further. An increase in combat power was no less significant than an increase in cultivation realm. With the strength of his physical body, Sha Chen alone might become invincible beneath the Saints. And even if not entirely invincible, he would not be defeated.
「Three years later,」 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Sha Chen had refined all of Pangu’s Heart Blood. His physical strength was now a mere half-step from the peak of the Primeval Chaos Law Body.
Ultimately, he could not completely step into the pinnacle realm of the Primeval Chaos Law Body. This realm was incredibly difficult to reach; not even all of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had attained its peak.
Only a few had achieved it.
One could imagine just how difficult and elusive that level was.
It was only due to Sha Chen’s good fortune, countless opportunities, and the heaven-defying existence of Pangu’s Heart Blood that he even had a chance to break through.
Yet, even with that, he still hadn’t broken through.
He only had the opportunity.
Having thoroughly refined Pangu’s Heart Blood, although his physical body hadn’t broken through, it wasn’t far off.
Most importantly, Sha Chen’s combat prowess had increased significantly. His mastery over strength, in particular, had reached a state of perfection.
With his strength at Great Accomplishment, he could even shatter space outright and tear apart the void with his immense power.
Not to mention his control over the power of space; the combination of strength and spatial power could even unleash the terrifying might of Great Accomplishment spatial power.
The power was boundless.
Sha Chen even felt that if Tathagata came again, he wouldn’t need the Nine-winged Mosquito Man’s assistance. He could resist Tathagata relying solely on his own strength and spatial power. Moreover, he could defend himself without relying on the Flowing Sand River’s defenses, using only his own power and control over space.
Now that Pangu’s Heart Blood had been completely refined, Sha Chen could focus wholeheartedly on enhancing his cultivation.
However, these three years had also nearly depleted all his resources.
After all, the resources the White Bone Demon brought back were not substantial, and under Sha Chen’s relentless cultivation, they were naturally consumed rapidly.
Furthermore, now that the White Bone Demon herself possessed a body of flesh and blood, her potential was limitless. Her cultivation level rose swiftly, nearly matching that of Red Boy.
Although she was currently only at the high-rank Da Luo realm, this was still exceptionally impressive.
She still felt a higher breakthrough was possible, so she continued to cultivate diligently, striving for improvement.
Both of them were diligently focused on improving, so the consumption of resources was naturally immense.
Consequently, Sha Chen’s resources were almost depleted, with barely enough left to sustain his own cultivation for a few more months.
Just then, the sound of Buddhist chanting came from beyond the Flowing Sand River.
"Amitabha. This humble monk comes from China, wishing to journey to the West for the scriptures. Are there any immortals in the river that could grant passage?"
Jin Chanzi, in his ninth reincarnation, had arrived.
The White Bone Demon looked towards Sha Chen, her eyes filled with confusion.
She knew that Jin Chanzi’s reincarnations were Sha Chen’s pawns, but she wondered if this ninth incarnation was still under his control. Moreover, in his previous reincarnations, Jin Chanzi had taken different pilgrimage routes, but now he had returned to the Flowing Sand River. He was accompanied by many people, all arranged by Buddhism. What was their intention in coming here!?
