Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 504 - 327: Black Wind Forged! Three Gates Open! Seventh Realm Achieved!

After arranging all matters of the Qiu Dragon Mansion, Chen Ku headed alone toward Black Wind Cliff.

The war between Yuan Country and Ji Country involved a hundred thousand soldiers, and Ji Country dispatched Wei Yanmen.

Both sides had experts above the Tenth Realm.

According to Chen Xin, the cultivation environment in Yuan Country is one of survival of the fittest, which has nurtured a fierce populace. Coupled with certain national conditions, the overall strength of Yuan Country far surpasses that of Ji Country.

Therefore, Chen Ku could not predict the outcome of this war at present.

He knew he must seize every opportunity, time, and resource to strengthen himself, so he can stand firm in the vortex of chaos.

"The arrangements of Qiu Dragon Mansion are merely to secure gold, silver, and Copper Coins to increase the number of Transformation Diagrams. Although they are my greatest reliance, my cultivation must not be neglected. After all, if I were to lose the Transformation Diagrams one day, at least I have my cultivation to rely on..."

Despite these considerations, he did not forget to manifest the transformations of the Purple Gold Elder and Li Tiansheng.

[Successfully cultivated to the Transformation Level of the Purple Gold Elder]

[Successfully cultivated to the Transformation Level of Li Tiansheng]

...

Chen Ku briefly examined the transformations of these two Seventh Realm experts, finding their quality quite average, far beneath those of the Champion Marquis and the Peace Path Leader, these Seventh Realm figures.

Their martial arts were notably similar, too.

But this did not prevent Chen Ku from manifesting them for other purposes.

...

After half a day’s effort, Chen Ku arrived at Black Wind Cliff, as mentioned by his two mentors. From a distance, the location of Black Wind Cliff was an incredibly majestic peak, rising abruptly and piercing the clouds.

Like a sharp spear reaching into the heavens, it soared five to six thousand meters above ground.

Utilizing the Four Unlikes Transformation, fused with the Six-Eared Macaque refining shape, Chen Ku stepped on clouds and ascended, akin to an immortal, reaching halfway up the mountain in no time.

Whoosh, whoosh~~

Feeling the Gang Wind crashing against him from the sky like thousands of steel knives, scraping his physique and blowing on his face with a stinging sensation.

"So, this is the formidable force of the Gang Wind unique to Black Wind Cliff? Indeed, it’s fierce and sharp. My current physique, with the blessings of the Golden Light Technique and other transformations, rivals a Divine Weapon, yet I still feel the sting."

Chen Ku proceeded against the wind. Previously, when he transformed into the Golden-eyed White Jade Sculpture and flew at ten thousand meters, he, in the First or Second Realm body, felt nothing. Now, ascending only four or five thousand meters on Black Wind Cliff, he experienced the immense power of the Gang Wind.

Even with Divine Weapon Level Armor protecting most of his body, his face was unshielded, turning red and painful from the wind.

Automatically, he circulated True Qi, channeling the Wood Emperor Technique to his face.

As the Wood Emperor True Qi flowed to his face, Chen Ku was astonished to discover that the rate of True Qi depletion was much higher than during a normal duel.

Immediately, he understood!

"I see now. No wonder my masters had significant gains here. The Gang Wind at Black Wind Cliff can greatly temper the body. If one can endure it, it means continually tempering True Qi with the body, naturally refining the indestructible ’Gang Qi’ from True Qi."

Gang Qi is the essence of power.

"A hundred times tempered becomes steel!"

A sudden realization dawned in Chen Ku’s heart, as he began to grasp the wondrous benefits of Black Wind Cliff.

Immediately,

he discarded his Divine Weapon Level Armor, Bright Light Armor, Taiyin Jade Toad Robe, and removed his Liu He Boots, ascending the mountain barefoot and in simple clothing. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After several breaths, Chen Ku stepped barefoot onto Black Wind Cliff.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

Like the howling of ghosts and gods, the world here was dim and cold, as if the heavens and earth were enclosed in a black sack, with only the rampant black Gang Wind whistling through it.

Even with Chen Ku’s vision, he could not see more than a hundred paces ahead.

Upon closer inspection, the cliff face appeared polished as a mirror from the eternal sweeping of the black Gang Wind.

Further at the cliff top, numerous skeletal remains seemed to be piled together, blown into caves, colliding and emitting eerie dull sounds.

"Besides demon bones, it seems there are human bones too. Could it be that others have come to Black Wind Cliff?"

With curiosity, Chen Ku approached, and upon reaching some of the small caves at the cliff top, he casually scooped out a pile of white bone powder, thinking:

"This Gang Wind is so fierce; ordinary people wouldn’t dare ascend, and even Fifth or Sixth Realm experts wouldn’t easily venture here. It’s essentially a dead end, where only those seeking to rise from desperation would gamble on fortune, honing themselves through the elements. But evidently, most have failed."

At this moment, standing barefoot and plainly dressed at the cliff top, Chen Ku’s face and feet continually cracked and were restored by Wood Emperor True Qi.

Assessing his situation.

"The Gang Wind here, although tremendously aiding Sixth Realm peak experts in breaking through to Gang Control, is selective. Having trained in the Huntian Overlord Body, I can withstand it. For ordinary Sixth Realm experts, enduring it is improbable, not only failing to refine Gang Qi but also inviting malevolent wind into the body, causing severe Gang injuries. Those in the skeletons likely sought breakthrough here, only to falter and succumb to possession by the Devil, ruining themselves."
