Chapter 1861: Chapter 598: Rapid Progress, Tribulation Body Breakthrough_2

"The only reliance of Great Xia is the army. Fortunately, the batch of supplies I brought back from Moao River and Yang City were taken back by Qiu Peng. If we can make good use of it, responding to the threat of Feudal Town should not be a problem!"

His eyes became firm because Xia Hong made a decision, which was to continue trying to break through to the Tribulation Body Realm here.

Worry causes chaos, while patience leads to resolution. Even if he leaves and goes to White Bone Mountain now, it’s not likely to be so easy to find a space crack to return to Ice Abyss. Plus, there’s Lady Yulou, a formidable enemy, waiting there. Who knows what her strength is? The crucial point is that Six Arms has previously mentioned that behind Lady Yulou is Ancestor Xue Kong, one of the seventy-two ancient demons under the Qishan Demon Lord. Without full preparation, recklessly going there might truly lead to death.

"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Five Elements Tribulation Qi Pearls. I retrieved thirteen pearls in total during two forays into Blood Miasma Plain, sold three in Yang City, and have two sets left now, so I have two opportunities to attempt a breakthrough to Tribulation Body Realm. Based on the cultivation efficiency here, it shouldn’t take too long, best if successful; if it fails, I’ll go straight to White Bone Mountain!"

Breaking through the Ice Abyss Human’s realms becomes increasingly difficult as time goes on, which is a common understanding; breakthroughs to the Tribulation Body Realm are not guaranteed to go smoothly. According to the content seen years ago in the Lin Chu County Library, attempting to break through to the Tribulation Body Realm entails great danger.

Breaking through the Peak of Manifested Yang Level to achieve the War Body Golden Body, further breakthroughs to the Tribulation Body Realm require opening the Golden Body Organs, a process commonly referred to as Opening Organs.

Opening Organs is to use an immense amount of Five Elements Tribulation Qi to impact the Golden Body, at the juncture of life and death, forcing the Golden Body to spontaneously generate the first Five Organs part.

This process is far more painful, even hundreds of times stronger than Xianyang Bone Tempering, with a high risk of death, hence it’s called Five Elements Tribulation. Surviving it leads to becoming the Tribulation Body, known as the Tribulation Body Realm.

"Place the Tribulation Qi Pearl at the corresponding Five Elements Organ location within the Golden Body, then crush it simultaneously, letting the Five Elements Tribulation Qi instantly fill the Golden Body inside, and concurrently tighten the meridians, blood, and skin membrane to firmly lock the Tribulation Qi inside the body. What is called Tribulation Qi can also be termed Death Qi. With such an immense amount of Death Qi inside, the Golden Body either bursts or starts spontaneously emerging the first organ, slowly unraveled by the Five Elements Tribulation Qi.."

As the strength becomes stronger and the cultivation stages become deeper, Xia Hong increasingly feels that the cultivation process of Ice Abyss people, summarized, seems to be a history of self-abuse.

Logging Realm and Earth-digging Realm cultivation involves continuously absorbing the toxin contained in Cold Beast Meat, during which the toxin stimulates the potential while constantly producing antibodies;

Earth-digging Realm Limit cultivation requires using the extremely hot Beast Blood to continually flood the skin membrane, allowing it to regenerate anew, achieving a restructuring effect;

Cold Resistance Level is more direct, destroying and reorganizing flesh tissues three times during the stages of Mid-stage, Late Stage, and Peak Realm, known as three rounds of blood and flesh reorganization;

Manifested Yang Level absorbs the energy contained in Beast Bone, now viewed as a kind of advanced toxin by Xia Hong, continuously stimulating the bones through intense high pressure, forcing the bone marrow to regenerate. The entire process is so excruciating that Xia Hong occasionally even suspects that the so-called manifestation of bone appearance in Manifested Yang Level is actually due to the body’s endurance reaching the limit, with the soul body being too burdensome to bear, separating itself.

Of course, it’s just his guess and jest but it also illustrates how the path to strength for Ice Abyss humans is filled with extreme pain and torture.

And now at the Tribulation Body Realm, it’s even more ruthless!

Directly detonating the Tribulation Qi Pearl within the Golden Body, locking the Five Elements Tribulation Qi within, compelling the Golden Body to open organs, is practically toying with life.

The Tribulation Qi Pearl is the energy core of those Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperors’ bodies, the fearsome Tribulation Qi contained within, physically resisting it, Xia Hong is well aware. Let’s not mention that he currently only has the cultivation of Manifested Yang Level, even for Tribulation Body Realm, it’s likely not enough.

Yet, the method to break through to Tribulation Body is indeed just like this.

Of course, Xia Hong wouldn’t just listen to one opinion. Apart from the Caiqiu Linchu County Mansion Library, he later inquired a second time in Chen Cang, and even spent to inquire in Yang City once. The answers obtained during the three inquiries were identical; the breakthrough to the Tribulation Body Realm can only be done in this one way.

Moreover, as the process is extremely refining and the benefits of enduring it are immense, even though there are Spirit Pills that aid in breakthroughs, most talented individuals will not use them unless absolutely necessary.

Xia Hong, of course, wouldn’t use them!

"Sigh..."

Taking out the first set of Tribulation Qi Pearls from the Storage Bag, Xia Hong first took a deep breath, then slowly lifted the Tribulation Qi Pearls, placing them according to the correspondence rule between Five Elements and organs at various parts of the Golden Body, then his gaze slightly dimmed, unable to immediately decide.

"Attempting the breakthrough to the Tribulation Body has an extremely high mortality rate, but this rate actually falls within a controllable range. If one feels unable to withstand that immense Tribulation Qi, one can voluntarily loosen the Golden Body skin membrane to release the Tribulation Qi. The issue is that those who can attempt the breakthrough to the Tribulation Body are mostly outstanding talents. How easy is it for these people to willingly admit failure?

Thus, many do not die during the breakthrough process to the Tribulation Body but perish within their own pride. In all fairness, at that critical decision moment, would I admit to failure?"

Xia Hong took a slight breath, reflecting on the entire process of leading Great Xia’s rise in Ice Abyss, his gaze almost without hesitation revealed firmness.
