Chapter 468: Chapter 172: Ascending to Innate! The Turtle Breath Technique that Shocks the World and Horrifies the Public! (10,000-Word Mega Chapter)_2

The omnipresent spiritual energy between heaven and earth was gathered and invaded the layer of ice, seeping into Su Changkong’s body. After being refined by his Heavenly Pulse, it turned into a gentle energy. His body greedily absorbed this refined spiritual energy, like drought-stricken land soaking up sweet, delicious rainwater.

Su Changkong’s physique was growing at an incredible speed, becoming stronger and his meridians more resilient, as if he was undergoing a rebirth. The ‘essence’ within Su Changkong grew rapidly, his Qi and Blood undergoing metamorphosis, solidifying into a bud that blossomed into a green flower.

This time, it was no longer Pseudo Innate; he was a genuine Innate Martial Artist, and he had achieved the Innate Realm through his own cultivation, not by refining external Innate Qi!

Su Changkong felt that he surely wasn’t the only one in the world to have achieved Innate status in this manner, but to do so without refining Innate Qi, relying solely on his own cultivation, made him an incredibly rare and monstrous genius!

Inside Su Changkong, the blue Turtle Breathing True Qi seemed to have broken through some kind of barrier or hindrance, flowing steadily, yet its quality had undergone a drastic change, as if it had somehow gained spiritual energy.

Turtle Breath Technique (Profound Mastery 1%)

…

After a cursory glance, Su Changkong saw that his Turtle Breath Technique had indeed made a breakthrough.

The moment he reached from the acquired to the Innate, his Turtle Breath Technique naturally progressed from the 9th level to the 10th level, Inborn Turtle Breathing!

Name: Su Changkong (24 years old)

Lifespan: 275 years

Potential Points: 51

Besides that, his lifespan had increased again, by as much as 30 years, and his potential points had jumped from 46 to 51.

The thirty-year increase in his lifespan resulted from ascending to the Innate Realm, opening his Heavenly Pulse, coupled with the breakthrough of his Turtle Breath Technique.

For someone like Su Changkong, such a significant increase in lifespan was indeed rare!

“It’s still alright… It must have been only about half a year to a year,” Su Changkong noticed that his age had reached 24 years, which led him to deduce he had been trapped underground for some time, but not for years or decades.

Su Changkong was eager to try out the capabilities of his Turtle Breath Technique at the 10th level, but trapped in the icy crystal, he was unable to act, and could only put aside this attempt for now.

Apart from the breakthrough of his Turtle Breath Technique and returning from the acquired to Innate, Su Changkong’s Heaven Silkworm Technique had also advanced rapidly.

Heaven Silkworm Technique (7th level Profound Mastery 81%)

It was entirely thanks to the vigorous vitality of the Heaven Silkworm True Qi, which countered the encroachment of the cold, that Su Changkong’s vitality was sustained. Through this trial, the Heaven Silkworm Technique was nearing the 8th level.

The strands of white Heaven Silkworm True Qi, seemingly endless, could nourish all things, invigorate blood, and regenerate muscle. As long as there was a strand of Heaven Silkworm True Qi, perpetual life could be maintained!

“I must escape from this entrapment first! I don’t know how much time has passed!” Su Changkong thought. He had broken through to Innate, and his Turtle Breath Technique had entered the 10th level, which was a transformative change. But what he needed to do now was to break the ice and leave this place.

This was a difficult problem; the icy crystal that trapped Su Changkong was a divine force from within a Divine Seed, and its toughness was such that not even Wind Sun Moon could break through it. Even if Su Changkong had broken through to Innate, thinking he could shatter it by brute force was pure folly.

Divine Skills represented a power level beyond that of ordinary martial artists, akin to a different dimension!

Perhaps with the passage of time, this icy crystal would slowly melt away. But whether it would take years or decades was beyond Su Changkong’s guess. He couldn’t wait, resigned to fate—he had to find a way to actively break this Divine Skill-created icy crystal.

Relying on brute force was impossible, so he had to use some skills.

“According to the legends, a vigorously growing sapling can push away the heavy bricks pressing upon it as it grows, and some plants that grow under rocks can break through the stone layers to see the daylight. This is the miracle of life! The power of life! In that case, I will use my Heaven Silkworm Technique to ‘grow’ continuously and break open this icy crystal!”

Su Changkong quickly thought of a way to escape his confinement.

The power of life is mighty, capable of creating miracles. Su Changkong’s Heaven Silkworm Technique was known for its ‘life force.’ He could use the Heaven Silkworm True Qi to mimic the growing sapling, relying on time to break the ‘rock’ that confined him.

Lying within the icy crystal, Su Changkong mobilized his Heaven Silkworm True Qi, fine threads of it extending from his skin and pores, continuously growing, pushing, and colliding with the icy crystal that bound him.

The icy crystal that imprisoned Su Changkong was like a cocoon, and what he needed to do was to break out of it!

A massive amount of Heaven Silkworm True Qi, continuously arising within Su Changkong’s body, rendered the icy crystal white, like countless saplings. Even though they seemed frail before the icy crystal formed by the Divine Skills, A Single Drop Penetrates the Stone. The persistent growth of the saplings would eventually transform into towering trees, breaking open the rocks that stood in the way of their growth!

Heaven Silkworm Technique (7th level Profound Mastery 82%), Heaven Silkworm Technique (7th level Profound Mastery 83%)…

Su Changkong persevered in his attempts, with the vibrant Heaven Silkworm True Qi continuously growing within the icy crystal, never ceasing. As time passed, his Heaven Silkworm Technique kept improving.

Su Changkong felt that this must be an implication of the True Meaning of the Heaven Silkworm Technique. Moreover, because his lifespan had increased and his potential points had greatly risen, he was able to have such insights under these circumstances, gradually pushing his Heaven Silkworm Technique to a higher level.
