Chapter 294: Chapter 280: Level 6 Golden Body

“You are under the Level 9 Petrification Divine Spell. You will be petrified for ten years. During this period, you are immune to all curses, all tracking reconnaissance divine techniques, and immune to the Three Calamities and all negative statuses.”

A message silently flowed by.

Wang Wu stared blankly, as if he had lost the ability to think. Endless sorrow filled his heart, and it felt unbearable.

He did not expect that the highest-level danger perception he activated that day, the hint he left, would result in this outcome.

However, this could be considered the best result.

Wang Wu sighed inwardly. It’s not just him who noticed the strategic significance of the Wolf’s Glance divine techniques. The Human Race had long noticed and planned accordingly. It was just that General Xuelang was too alert, always evading capture.

Yes, it was even more formidable than Wang Wu imagined, experienced and cunning. If it weren’t for Lu Wuchen manipulating Wolf Bu’er, with intricate plans, even the Human Race wouldn’t have captured it. Wang Wu himself had no chance of capturing General Xuelang’s rebellious heart.

But in the end, it’s still a mother, so it couldn’t avoid this calamity.

Even if it went to South Wilderness, as long as Wolf Bu’er was alive, it was its doom.

Now, in such a way, it saved Wolf Bu’er, restoring its freedom, even if it meant being petrified for three thousand years, it would probably be willing.

Just hoped Wolf Bu’er would learn to be cautious.

All around was pitch-black, Wang Wu didn’t know where he was, but he could be sure that by his side were Wolf Bu’er, Xiong Shiliu, Yuan Bupu, Niu Huanxi, Pork Belly, Niu Xiaocao. General Xuelang was as meticulous as ever, not a single friend missing.

But decades had passed, would they still hold their original intentions, would they still accept Wang Wu?

Wang Wu himself didn’t know.

“But I will save you, you have to wait for me.”

Wang Wu calculated that after condensing those two demon pills, General Xuelang’s lifespan should still have six hundred years.

Within six hundred years, as long as a way to undo the petrification is found, it can come back to life, otherwise, after three thousand years, it truly would turn to dust.

Also, that Stone Demon was truly formidable, but after being exposed this time, that Profound Iron Mine would probably fall into the hands of the Human Race, if Lu Wuchen has a method to undo petrification—

Wang Wu thought muddled thoughts, mixed with sadness, completely without clarity.

In the end, he forcibly forgot about it, he couldn’t waste any of his free time now.

He attempted to mobilize his qi blood, tried to mobilize his Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, but achieved nothing.

At this moment, he felt as if imprisoned in a great prison of the soul, his body having nothing to do with him.

Effort must still be made.

Wang Wu began deducing the interruption of qi blood, deducing the Ice and Fire Escape Technique, deducing the changes of the Five Elements Spirit Array.

In the past, there wasn’t time, but now, he had plenty of it.

Gradually, Wang Wu’s mind quieted, completely immersed in the deduction.

And he had another advantage, the Inheritance Soul Jade + attribute bar could be used by him.

If there was any difficulty in deduction, this method could be used to solve it.

Especially in deducing the Ice and Fire Escape Technique and the Five Elements Spirit Array, it was nothing less than adding wings to a tiger.

With time passing, the results of the deduction increased, he could even further extend and infer based on these, comprehending some marginal dao skills. Wang Wu even thought he could now impersonate a Human Race cultivator convincingly.

At this time, only five years had passed.

The outside world still had unknown changes, internally, everything was still the same.

Wang Wu’s petrification divine spell had not reduced by even a day.

So he simply began deducing the Seven Demon Pills system.

His Bloodline Evolution Level was sufficient, lacking only resources.

But how to plan, how to balance the existing Demon Pill System and acquired cultivation system, this was the most troublesome.

After a period of deduction, Wang Wu completely gave up. He felt this path was impassable, or more accurately, without the mobilization of qi blood in the body to practically evolve, just relying on deduction, his computational power was insufficient.

Even the Inheritance Soul Jade refused to help him deduce.

“Let’s talk about this later.”

Next, time passed, the ten-year limit of petrification approached.

With only six months of petrification effects remaining,

Wang Wu could slightly sense his qi blood. He immediately tried to communicate with it using the Inner Breathing Technique, getting free even a day earlier would be excellent.

Soon, he noticed that the Companion Demon Vine, after being dormant for so long, finally awakened.

Though slightly weak.

Wang Wu didn’t expect much from it, continued the Inner Breathing Technique, but unexpectedly, the awakened Companion Demon Vine seemed to see a great and delicious feast, wagging its tail like a crazy puppy, appearing very interested in Wang Wu’s petrified state.

So, Wang Wu tried letting the Companion Demon Vine give it a try, resulting in an uncontrollable situation where its tendrils turned into countless fine roots, unblocking half of his arm in an instant.

The speed was so fast that Wang Wu thought he was seeing things.

He hurriedly stopped, fearing the Companion Demon Vine was consuming his qi blood, his foundation.

After thorough analysis and confirmation, he realized that what the Companion Demon Vine absorbed was not qi blood, but the force causing his petrification.

At this point, Wang Wu commanded the Companion Demon Vine to continue its advance, but required the speed to slow down, with all root movements under his supervision.

He didn’t trust this thing at all.

Only after half his body had recovered did Wang Wu confirm that the Companion Demon Vine indeed had some restraint against the Petrification Divine Spell of the Stone Demon. This thing was feasting happily, seemingly on the verge of further progression.

This made Wang Wu very excited.

Two days later, the Companion Demon Vine finally devoured all the petrification power over Wang Wu’s body, and he regained his freedom.

Almost at the same time, he sensed the Companion Demon Vine was undergoing a change, about to fall into slumber for advancement.

“Your Companion Demon Vine has absorbed and devoured a large amount of pure Stone Marrow, seemingly undergoing a fundamental and groundbreaking transformation. Do you want to stop it and have it regurgitate the Stone Marrow?”

“Warning! Once it completes its advancement, its companion state is likely to be completely different from its current state.”

——

Two lines of information floated by, but Wang Wu didn’t pay it any mind. As long as the Companion Demon Vine could continue to evolve in this direction, as long as it could eventually save General Xuelang, he would not only grant it freedom but would also bow and call it ancestor.

At this moment, he hurriedly scrambled up, finding himself inside a sealed stone cave, with only the statues of Xiong Shiliu, Yuan Bupu, and Wolf Bu’er remaining next to him.

It seemed to be the arrangement of General Xuelang, located deep beneath the sea.

The surface of the stone cave was coated with Stone Marrow to ensure it couldn’t be found or detected through divination.

After a brief thought, Wang Wu took out the Small Tripod, from which golden Spiritual Mist immediately wafted out—a truly rare item, refined from the Third and Second Grade Demons turned into meat skewers.

Wang Wu took just a sip, restoring fifty thousand points of Vitality and fifty thousand points of Spiritual Qi in an instant.

It was simply explosive.

In this moment, he decided to lift the Small Tripod and drank three big gulps, then capped it and stored it away. He then activated the Inner Breathing Technique and cycled his Qi and Blood Circulation. In just over a dozen breaths, his state returned to its peak.

Next, he individually named and upgraded every Bloodline Secret Technique such as Eternal Life, Qi Gathering and Transformation, Thunderous and Swift, Turn the Tide, and Copper Head Iron Bone to Level 6.

Reaching this level, they were no longer Bloodline Secret Techniques but Bloodline Divine Techniques.

From now on, upgrades couldn’t rely on the Spiritual Qi but had to consume Qi and Blood, marking a significant shift in cost.

“So, the Seven Demon Pill System is out of the question—the expense is just too colossal. You can’t notice it at lower Grades, but it becomes outrageously expensive at higher Grades.”

Wang Wu was left deeply shocked. He had just elevated these five Secret Techniques to Five Divine Techniques, which nearly exhausted the three big gulps of Spirit Liquid.

And the remaining Spirit Liquid in that Small Tripod could only last for about a hundred more gulps.

What a crime!

But the effects were indeed explosive. Wang Wu felt warm all over, as if an invisible force was circulating and assimilating into him.

This was the difference between Secret Techniques and Divine Techniques.

Bloodline Secret Techniques had to be activated to be effective.

Once they became Bloodline Divine Techniques, they passively imparted certain effects.

For example, at this moment, if someone were to sense it, they would see a faint golden light enveloping Wang Wu as protection.

Equivalent to a Level 3 Unbreakable Golden Body.

Yes, just like that.

No activation needed, forming passively, capable of directly mitigating 12,000 points of damage.

Moreover, this passive Level 3 Unbreakable Golden Body would regenerate one every second with the cycling of Qi and Blood Circulation, with not much cost.

Roughly about 1,000 points of Vitality per second.

If you add the Ice and Fire Shield and Ice and Fire Talisman, the latter could self-regenerate a cycle every three seconds with Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, yes, automatically—not through Wang Wu manually casting.

Although the speed was a bit slow, it was actually quite decent.

This meant that Wang Wu, without doing anything, simply maintaining his Qi and Blood Circulation and the normal flow of Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, in standby, idle, or neutral mode, could achieve a damage immunity of up to 22,000 points per second, or at least 12,000 points per second.

At this moment, he finally exhibited some traits of a Great Demon.

Because all of this was passive; if he were to actively trigger them, he would directly achieve a Level 6 Unbreakable Golden Body Divine Technique.

The specific effect was sustained for 12 seconds, with immunity against 30,000 points of damage per second, or a single instance of 360,000 points of damage.

Moreover, Wang Wu’s Level 6 Unbreakable Golden Body Divine Technique was different from General Xuelang’s Level 6 Golden Body Divine Techniques.

Because Wang Wu’s five basic attributes were all at Full Level and overflowed.

In General Xuelang’s case, only its Basic Agility surpassed 300 points.

So, although the levels were the same, one was a luxury limited edition, while the other was a run-of-the-mill edition.

Of course, to release Wang Wu’s true Level 6 Unbreakable Golden Body Divine Technique, the cost was also terrifying.

It started with 50,000 points of Vitality or Qi and Blood.

With his current cap on Vitality reserves, he could only release it twice.

And with his current Five Demon Pill Qi and Blood capacity, it could be continuously released ten times…
