Chapter 645: Eclosion Eight Times

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before heading to the Central Plains, Zhou Feng decided that he had to reconstruct his physical body and break through to the Ascendance realm.

Thus, he would immediately start with the eclosion attempts!

He didn’t make too many preparations and directly started to use the crude method of eclosion on the spot to let his body enter the Ascendance realm.

He completely separated his physical body and soul and then tried to return his physical body to the primal chaos.

If it went according to the normal procedure, all cultivators would need to make full preparations before they ascended.

The first thing was to ensure safety. After attempting to break through to the Ascension realm, life and death would only be in an instant.

Under such circumstances, they naturally needed a treasure to suppress the soul to prevent it from collapsing without the protection of the physical body.

For example, the Gu dynasty used the nation’s destiny to suppress the soul to help the people within the dynasty break through to the Ascendance realm.

Zhou Feng also had his own idea, which was to let the soul stay on a piece of Soul-Nurturing Wood.

Soul-Nurturing Wood was a special spiritual wood that could temporarily bind the soul.

He didn’t know where he had gotten it from, but it was in his storage ring anyway.

Then, he tried to remove all the impurities in the body and turn it into a special physique.

“It’s a little dangerous! But this should be the best plan for me.”

Zhou Feng naturally knew the dangers, but he could only do this.

He needed to experiment time and time again to perfect the method of eclosion and then transform his body.

When using the method of eclosion, one needed to pay attention to all kinds of taboos and points.

However, Zhou Feng relied on his passive skills and directly used the Ascendance technique that he had just comprehended.

Instantly, wisps of Death Qi were emitted from his body.

His originally crystal clear and lustrous skin instantly lost its luster.

Heaven Rewards Diligence!

Zhou Feng’s mind entered a state of absolute tranquility as the passive Heaven Rewards Diligence was triggered.

Countless laws of the Heavenly Dao flowed through his heart, and he suddenly gained a new understanding of life and death.

His physical body began to ascend inexplicably, and the physical body that could shatter a mountain was actually slowly dissolving.

A faint fragrance slowly rose, his flesh and blood turned gray, and his Blood Qi turned black.

At that moment, Zhou Feng seemed as if he was really going to die.

However, the Spiritual Veins in his body did not agree. These Spiritual Veins were forcibly absorbed into his body, so they now had a symbiotic relationship with him.

If Zhou Feng fell, the apertures that contained the Spiritual Veins would collapse, and the Spiritual Veins inside would also collapse.

The Spiritual Veins’ essence kept on evaporating, trying to save this body that had lost its soul.

Don’t even mention it!

Under the nourishment of the Spiritual Veins’ essence, his body actually turned from a declining state to full of vitality.

“This…”

Zhou Feng didn’t expect such a change to happen.

Under the crazy nourishment of his physical body, not only did his flesh and blood become full, but he even slowly stood up.

He resembled a zombie!

The endless underground Earth Qi was continuously extracted and then fused into his physical body.

He didn’t even do anything before his body began to wash away the impurities.

It turned out that the Spiritual Veins in his body had discovered that the enormous will didn’t suppress them.

Thus, these Spiritual Veins began to rely on their instincts to protect this body.

Even if these Spiritual Veins didn’t have any thoughts or intelligence, they had the instinct to seek luck and avoid danger.

The powerful will from before had disappeared. In the eyes of these Spiritual Veins, they would fall in grave danger.

Therefore, they all put aside their prejudices and spat out their essence. Then, they extracted the endless Earth Qi from the ground in order to refine this body into an Earth Spirit.

“Something’s wrong!”

Zhou Feng felt that his Blood Qi was being consumed at an alarming rate, and his body was about to turn into stone.

Seeing this, he no longer wanted to watch a good show. Instead, he allowed his soul to return to his physical body.

Just as his soul returned to his physical body, he felt a tearing pain.

At the same time, his physical body was crazily rejecting his soul.

What was going on? This was his physical body!

Rejection! Discomfort! Stiffness! and other feelings kept rising up.

“Is this the side effect of using the Ascendance technique?”

Zhou Feng finally understood why most cultivators hoped to break through to the Ascendance realm with just one enclosure.

It turned out that after failing to break through to the Ascendance realm, the soul and physical body would reject each other after separating.

In fact, the reason was very simple. When a person died, the moment the soul and physical body separated, they would be under the jurisdiction of the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

If the soul forcefully returned to the body at this time, there would be rejection. This was the basic principle that a person could not be resurrected after death.

When one died, their body and soul would not be the same as before.

“After rejection, one can only forcefully integrate?”

Zhou Feng frowned slightly. After the rejection, he wanted his soul and body to return to their previous state.

It would take a long time to get back to their original state.

At the same time, during the process of getting back together, both his body and soul were in a state of exhaustion.

Therefore, every time he used the Ascendance technique, he had to be very careful.

“Then I’ll forcefully merge them!”

Zhou Feng was not afraid of exhaustion. Whether it was his soul or his body, he could make up for it with longevity substances.

Therefore, he began to adapt.

The other thing was the Spiritual Veins in his body. With the return of his soul, none of the Spiritual Veins showed any abnormal movements.

If Zhou Feng had not seen it clearly from the side, he would not have known that these Spiritual Veins had such instincts.

“The Spiritual Veins’ spirituality seems to be a potential threat!”

Zhou Feng suddenly realized that it was a crazy thing to put so many Spiritual Veins into his body.

If these Spiritual Veins worked together when he was seriously injured, would he fall into the abyss in an instant?

Although the probability of such a thing happening was almost zero, he still needed to pay attention.

What he needed was the Spiritual Veins’ overwhelming Spiritual Qi, not their spirituality.

Wouldn’t it be better if he could discard their spirituality?

As he thought, he took a step forward.

However, his physical body was not under the control of his soul. He took a step to the right.

The feeling of resistance and rejection became more and more serious.

“Go forward!”

Zhou Feng frowned. He forcefully controlled his physical body and took a step forward steadily.

Although it was only a small step, he could feel his body trembling and countless wounds opening up.

However, these wounds quickly disappeared without a trace. All kinds of passive skills were triggered, and with the Fate Wheel sealing his vitality, these small injuries were nothing.

‘The repulsion decreased?’

After taking this step, he keenly felt that the repulsion of his body had weakened a lot.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be long before he could use the Ascendance technique again.

“This doesn’t seem too dangerous…”

After experiencing it for a while, Zhou Feng felt that the Ascendance technique wasn’t as dangerous as what Gu Chensha had remembered.

If possible, he wanted to try ascending eight times.
