I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"Should we pay a visit?" Wan Dongling’s gentle eyes suddenly flickered with unusual ripples.

"After all, he’s your lifesaver."

Lin Qianyin didn’t respond, looking at Wan Dongling, who was revealing her true intentions, feeling somewhat troubled.

Everyone in the Yanluo Sect knew that Wan Dongling had admired Liou Zhen for a long time. It seemed like she was asking if Lin wanted to visit her rescuer, but in reality, she wanted to see Liou Zhen.

"Sister Dongling, you came to enlighten me today under false pretenses; the real reason is to meet Mr. Liou."

But thinking of what Liou Yuan had done before, Lin Qianyin tightened the sword at her waist, her somber expression vanished, replaced by a bright smile: "A visit is definitely in order."

"I, Lin Qianyin, am clear about my grudges and gratitude."

...

The Luminous Pearl embedded in the ceiling of the cave emitted a gentle light in the dim cultivation chamber.

The pale light halo shone on Liou Yuan’s face, which had gradually lost its youthful features.

The Spiritual Qi stored within the Spirit Gathering Array of the cave had been entirely absorbed by him.

At this moment, Liou Yuan’s spiritual power surged around him like a raging sea, making tidal sounds as it surged.

To break through this final barrier of the Qi Cultivation Realm, he had been in seclusion for over a month, and now had finally reached the crucial moment.

Within his organs, an unprecedentedly massive force was rampaging wildly, as if it would burst his body.

This was the transformation triggered by the Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill.

His breakthrough to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer marked the perfection of this Grade B Qi Cultivation Skill.

Suddenly, a muffled explosion, like a thunderous roar, emanated from within him.

Liou Yuan’s bones were the first to undergo a startling change, each bone seemed to be infused with vibrant life, starting to tremble, emitting a crisp and pleasant "crackling" sound.

The originally somewhat pale bones were now slowly taking on a layer of a warm jade-like luster, that glow circulating more intensely, as if bathed in warm moonlight.

Upon closer inspection, the surface of the bones began to reveal lines formed by connected blood and energy, resembling the contours of mountains and rivers.

These lines did not remain still but moved slowly amid the flickering twilight.

As the lines spread, the bones became increasingly crystalline and transparent.

Liou Yuan’s spine underwent the most dramatic transformation.

The originally tightly connected vertebrae were now seemingly expanded by a mysterious force, with subtle yet noticeable gaps appearing between each section.

In these gaps, rich blood energy surged, like hidden Spirit Rivers.

When Liou Yuan circulated his cultivation technique, the blood energy roared through the spine, driving the flow of power throughout his body, each throb making him feel as though his body was infused with endless strength.

The unprecedented sense of power made Liou Yuan almost want to let out a long roar.

Forcibly calming the surging blood energy and the chaotic spiritual power within his body, Liou Yuan, wearing a look of intoxication, sensed the recent changes in his body, muttering to himself: "Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill, finally complete."

The perfection of the Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill undoubtedly marked a qualitative leap in Liou Yuan’s body cultivation.

He slightly lowered his head and lightly clenched his fist, causing the air remaining between his fingers to compress under the surging force, producing a crisp explosion sound.

Then he punched the air in front of him.

Swish! The fist whistled through the air, the fist tearing the air apart, causing a sonic boom in the cave.

Liou Yuan silently evaluated the changes in his body strength, giving a conservative estimate: "At least twice as strong as before."

The increase in strength was just a side effect. The true cause of Liou Yuan’s dramatic rise in power was his bones.

"The transformation of my bones is the most evident, their hardness now rivaling top-quality Magical Artifacts, I can now directly withstand any Magical Artifact attack in the Qi Cultivation Realm."

"Body Refining! Body Refining! This is what a true Body Cultivator should be like."

The Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill, worthy of being a Grade B Breathing Skill, second only to Grade A.

Its completion brought an incredible enhancement to Liou Yuan’s power.

"Let me see how the Fixed Star Compass evaluates my current strength." With a thought, Liou Yuan activated the Fixed Star Compass.

"Bone Casting, I’ve indeed stepped into the second stage of Body Cultivation Realm after Blood Energy Eruption."

"The perfection of the Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill, only barely entering the Bone Casting Realm. This realm’s threshold is truly high."

Liou Yuan looked at "Bone Casting" written behind [Body Cultivation Realm] after Blood Energy Eruption, with a peculiar expression on his face.

He had long heard of Bone Casting, known for making a Body Cultivator’s entire body formidable enough to withstand Magical Artifacts bare-handedly, even impervious to magic.

It’s said that mastering the Bone Casting Realm and achieving Great Success allows one to rampage freely in the Foundation Establishment Realm, with few able to harm a Body Cultivator with Bone Casting Great Success.
