Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 366 - 245: Six Hundred Strands of Sixth Realm Evil Qi
The Fifth Realm of Martial Path’s Inner Strength is divided into three levels: organ membrane, tendons and membranes, and bone membrane.
Only when a film of force forms over all the internal organs, tendons, and bones, can the inner organs be perfectly protected. This also allows the expansion and contraction of the Qi film, enabling the bones and muscles to swell and the body to grow several sizes larger.
"To allow the Eight Gates Array to enter the body, one must fully unblock the organ membrane, tendons and membranes, and bone membrane. Only then can one grasp the capillary meridians throughout the body as a condition for forming the array."
Chen Ku muttered to himself:
"Due to my breakthrough with the Five Elements Body, my cultivation naturally advanced to the Second Layer of Tendons, but there’s still a way to go before a membrane forms on the bones."
At this moment,
he thought of the precious ’Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill’ on him. When it was gifted by the three shopkeepers, they mentioned the conditions for its consumption: during a breakthrough from the Fifth Realm to the Sixth Realm, it can enhance the True Qi within and impact the capillary meridians throughout the body.
Chen Ku intended to try it now, thinking that since it is named Five Elements Great Rejuvenation Pill, it might also be beneficial to his Five Elements Body, aiding him in forming a membrane on the bones.
But looking at the surrounding environment, his nose faintly caught the scent of many living people within a range of a hundred and eighty li from the enormous crust. He thought to himself:
"This should be the Jianghu experts rushing here from all sides after hearing the news spread by Shangguan Yun. This is not the place for seclusion and cultivation; it’s better to leave first."
Moreover, after spending half a day with his two mentors in this Underground Palace, he also wanted to know how things were outside.
So he chose a direction in the soil, focused his mind, and performed an ’Earth Escape’ skill, vanishing from the crust...
...
Lush and green.
The mountains entwine and overlap each other, shrouded in mist and rain.
When Chen Ku reappeared near Two Realms Mountain around the Hero King’s underground palace, he found the surroundings beginning to drizzle, making the Two Realms Mountain resemble a vivid landscape painting, encircled by clouds and mist.
Once he reached the mountain, Skinny Dog’s nose sensed the scent even more clearly, and there were hundreds to thousands of people around the Two Realms Mountain, guessing that not only had people come from surrounding counties of Baojiao County, but even from Yuan Country.
"I wonder what their reactions will be when they go down and see the empty crust?"
Chen Ku chuckled softly, not caring about those who were destined to find nothing. He then transformed his body into a small, cloud-riding Four Unlikes, using the clouds and mist in the mountain to soar into the sky above Two Realms Mountain.
The beast eyes glanced towards the north and south directions respectively.
Musing internally:
"Since I’m already in the vicinity of Two Realms Mountain, the other side is the territory of Yuan Country. Once I leave, unless I obtain the ’Fire Extinguishing Pearl’, I shouldn’t need to spend time commuting to Fire Beak Mountain just to ’fetch fire’ anymore. So, before leaving, let me make one last big swoop."
With his decision made,
he rode the clouds and mist, flying towards the area of Fire Beak Mountain in Yuan Country.
Crossing the ridges and towering mountain peaks that form the natural ’walls’ of Two Realms Mountain, this was considered Chen Ku’s first departure from Ji Country, stepping into Ji Country.
However, Chen Ku felt no burden of a ’two-country stowaway’.
This path had been traveled by Flower Fox Mink, Four Unlikes, and Er Lang many times, and each time he would read their memories, becoming familiar with it as though he was returning home.
Yet, what Chen Ku didn’t know was...
As he set foot into the territory of Yuan Country.
Near the border between the two countries, within Yuan Country, there’s a boundary state called ’Zhen Nan State’, and inside its most famous Immortal Mountain.
The cliffs stood sheer, with high peaks piercing through the clouds like swords.
Inside a cave mansion, a young man with a face seven-tenths similar to Chen Ku opened his eyes, with lightning-like currents swirling in his pupils, exuding an endless, powerful life force.
Puzzled, he looked in a certain direction:
"Did Second Brother come to Yuan Country?"
...
With Chen Ku’s current speed, dozens of times faster than Four Unlikes and Er Lang, he reached the familiar Fire Beak Mountain in less than half a day. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Leisurely descending into the mouth of the volcano.
The moment he sensed a trace of Flame Qi, it was completely devoured and refined by his Five Elements Body.
[Diagram Master encountered the First Realm Fire Evil Qi, instantly refined...]
In a single breath, Chen Ku refined hundreds of First Realm Evil Qi.
But having over two thousand Red-Tailed Bee’s First Realm Evil Qi, he no longer had any thoughts about the First Realm Evil Qi.
Thus, controlling his body, he continued sinking toward the surface of the magma.

[Diagram Master encountered the Third Realm Fire Evil Qi...]
[Diagram Master encountered the Fourth Realm Fire Evil Qi...]
[Diagram Master encountered the Fifth Realm Fire Evil Qi...]
Chen Ku reached a position only three zhang above the magma, feeling streams of Fifth Realm Fire Evil Qi attacking him.
Yet his Five Elements Body could easily handle it, with no pressure at all.
In less than half a tea’s time,
Chen Ku directly accumulated three hundred streams of Fifth Realm Evil Qi here, finally feeling his body’s limit. But he did not stop there. Instead, he stood his ground and transformed forty-five streams of Fifth Realm Evil Qi into a Fifth Realm Fire Beak Pot, continuing to collect over three hundred streams of Fifth Realm Flame Qi.
