Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 260 A complete transformation, blood transfusion completed, spiritual energy enters the body.

The next morning, Di Xiao did not participate in the new recruit training.

Instead, Xue Ping led him to a small training ground and said, "Di Xiao, from today onwards, you will cultivate here. As for food, I have ordered the Food Immortal to provide you with an unlimited supply. All you need to do is one thing, and that is cultivate."

"Thank you, General. I will cultivate diligently." Di Xiao replied earnestly. Knowing he had achieved his goal, he asked with a hint of doubt, "General, although I have focused on cultivation, I still have some questions. Especially, what realm does one reach after perfecting the Defilement Severing Technique? Also, how are realms divided?"

"Realm division? That's an interesting topic. Actually, the most mainstream classification of realms today is the Immortal Path system. The Immortal Path is divided into Human Immortals, Earth Immortals, Celestial Immortals..."

"However, our human race has extremely poor aptitude, making it very difficult for us to cultivate beyond the Human Immortal realm. Therefore, we humans are all below the Human Immortal level, and we further divide the realms below Human Immortal into many stages. For example, some immortal sects divide the Human Immortal realm into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Primordial Spirit, Out-of-Body, Body Integration, Deity Transformation, and Human Immortal!"

"Some martial arts cultivation methods are divided into body tempering, acquired, innate, and supernatural abilities..."

"In short, there are many different categories below the Human Immortal realm. And within our army, apart from the most basic and core cultivation method, the Defilement Severing Technique, there are all sorts of other cultivation styles, so it's difficult to have a unified classification."

"However, in our army, only those who are Human Immortals can become generals. And cultivating the Defilement Severing Technique to its third level of perfection, creating a unique physique, is the realm of Human Immortals. So, Di Xiao, just focus on cultivating the Defilement Severing Technique. Once you cultivate it to perfection, you will be a Human Immortal."

"Hiss... This Defilement Severing Technique is a cultivation method that leads directly to the realm of Immortal. This..." Di Xiao had not expected that the Defilement Severing Technique, which everyone in the army could cultivate, was actually a method that led directly to the realm of Immortal.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ping laughed again: "Who says otherwise? However, as I said yesterday, it's too difficult to cultivate the Defilement Severing Technique to perfection. So, most people start cultivating other techniques after reaching a minor level of mastery."

"Should I switch to other cultivation methods? How do I obtain those other methods?" Di Xiao hadn't forgotten that he needed to collect more cultivation methods.

"Naturally, we exchange them for merits. As soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, we have to carry out many war missions or missions to slay demons and monsters. Every mission will earn us merits. And these merits can be exchanged for cultivation methods."

"In addition, merits can also be exchanged for spells, supernatural powers, resources, and magical treasures. In short, merits are extremely valuable."

Speaking of meritorious service, Xue Ping also felt a surge of longing. Clearly, he affirmed the value of such achievements.

Di Xiao wasn't surprised to hear this. This kind of merit exchange system can be seen in many worlds.

However, Di Xiao did find it interesting. Since merit points could be exchanged for cultivation methods, obtaining cultivation methods in the future would be much simpler.

Thinking of this, Di Xiao asked again, "When can we go on missions and earn merit points?"

"Haha... You haven't even learned to walk yet, and you're already thinking about running. You should finish your three years of basic training first." Xue Ping said, then arranged for a few veterans to look after Di Xiao, while he himself dealt with the other new recruits.

Xue Ping left, leaving Di Xiao here to wait and see. But no matter how much he hoped, he needed to focus on his cultivation first. If he didn't cultivate well, even if he were to carry out war missions in the future, his life would be in danger.

With this in mind, Di Xiao also began to concentrate on his cultivation.

He began practicing the Defilement-Slaying Technique and started the blood transfusion once again.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Now, after endless cultivation, Di Xiao has finally begun his 108th blood exchange.

For this blood transfusion, Xue Ping specially brought many veterans to protect the team.

At this moment, Di Xiao's whole body turned red, as if he were being burned by flames or roasted by intense heat.

His entire body was bright red, but as Di Xiao gritted his teeth, the surging blood and qi within his body rushed like a tsunami. It eventually surged towards his jade-like bones and then eroded into the bone marrow within them.

With a loud "boom," a roar came from within Di Xiao's body, and then Di Xiao's flesh and blood exploded, revealing his ghastly white bones.

They also saw bones shattered, revealing the horrific marrow inside.

However, amidst the explosion, a surge of vital energy erupted from the bone marrow, bringing a rich vitality that rapidly repaired Di Xiao's damaged body.

But as soon as something is repaired here, news of breakage comes from there.

This continued for a long time, leaving behind a trail of Di Xiao's shattered flesh and broken bones.

It was as if Di Xiao had undergone a complete transformation, destroying an old body and reshaping a new one.

After completing all this, Di Xiao looked at the blood and flesh scattered throughout the training ground and frowned slightly: "These are the fragments of my former body. If pieced together, they might actually be able to reconstruct a version of me. But this old body is filled with filth."

Although the body fragments beneath my feet look quite nice, they still contain many impurities.

Di Xiao frowned, while Xue Ping, who was guarding him, burst into laughter: "Good, good... In just half a year, you've mastered the first level of the Defilement-Slaying Technique. This cultivation speed will definitely break our White Tiger Army's record, and even the record of the Tang Dynasty army. Congratulations, Brother Di Xiao!"

Xue Ping walked over, beaming with joy. For ordinary recruits, it would be quite an achievement to master the Defilement Slaying Technique within three years, or even to complete several blood transfusions.

Even some geniuses can only master the Defilement Slaying Technique to a minor level within three years.

However, Di Xiao achieved the minor success in cultivation in just over half a year, which is quite fast.

Faced with such a genius as Di Xiao, Xue Ping naturally wanted to congratulate him and was even more excited. After all, Di Xiao was a promising talent he had found.

Di Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Xue Ping, you're too kind. If it weren't for your and Shi Xian's help, I..."

"Haha...you deserve all of this. With such talent, it would be our dereliction of duty not to nurture it properly." Xue Ping laughed heartily, looking at Di Xiao with satisfaction.

He had witnessed Di Xiao's cultivation over the past six months. Besides Di Xiao's own comprehension, Di Xiao's hard work was also very important.

They cultivated day and night, leaving virtually no free time. And they remained unmoved even in the face of the pain of blood transfusion.

Especially as the number of blood transfusions increased, the energy required also increased. Di Xiao's need for food became terrifying. Therefore, Di Xiao often spent half of his day eating.

Therefore, Di Xiao has the nickname of a glutton. However, the more he eats, the more energy he accumulates, which in turn accelerates the rate of blood regeneration.

At this moment, Di Xiao clenched his fists, feeling the lightness in his body and the strength of his physical form. He also felt a cool aura slowly flowing into his body from the surrounding world.

Moreover, the speed at which this energy flowed in was increasing. Di Xiao's eyes flickered: "Brother Xue Ping, let's put the rest aside for now. I feel a cool energy flowing into my body. Could this be spiritual energy?"
