High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 565 Special Physiques in the Cultivation World

Lin Hanzhou stretched lazily, his bones making a crisp popping sound.

From his perspective as an emperor, this seemingly tragic fate was actually just the most rigorous polishing of a rough gem by the Heavenly Dao.

The so-called low point is merely the potential energy accumulated for a future soaring success.

As for the mystery of the original owner's "regression in cultivation" that had troubled him for three whole years and left all the doctors in the entire Wulan City helpless, only able to diagnose it as an incurable disease, Lin Hanzhou clearly knew the reason the moment he awakened his memories and looked inward at himself.

His cultivation level did not regress due to any broken meridians or demonic possession.

Rather, it is because this seemingly ordinary body is nurturing a sacred body.

In the vast and boundless world of cultivation, there exist all sorts of unique and special physical constitutions.

Some are born with a natural affinity for a certain Dao, while others are born with unparalleled divine power.

These special physical constitutions are ranked in the cultivation world as follows: Spiritual Body, Royal Body, Divine Body, and Holy Body.

Among them, the Sacred Body is the strongest type of physique. No matter what kind of Sacred Body one possesses, reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm is a certainty.

Some powerful sacred bodies, such as the Ancient Sacred Body.

Once this physique is fully developed, one's blood and qi will be like a golden ocean, and one's physical body will be indestructible. One can even withstand the ultimate imperial weapon with pure physical strength and possess terrifying combat power that can challenge the emperor!

Back then, one of the major contributors to Emperor Hongyu's ability to destroy the Immortal Tomb was a Great Completion Ancient Sacred Body.

However, awakening the Holy Body requires a considerable amount of resources.

It's like an ancient behemoth that has just awakened, needing to devour a massive amount of spiritual energy to build its indestructible foundation.

In this remote and impoverished city of Ulan, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is already extremely scarce.

When Xiao Yan broke through to the Dao Palace Realm at the age of fifteen, he inadvertently triggered a trace of the seal on the origin of his Sacred Body, causing the Sacred Body to begin a passive awakening process.

Because the spiritual energy from the outside world was far from enough to meet the needs of the awakening of the sacred body, the body's instincts began to frantically draw on Xiao Yan's own hard-earned cultivation to fill this bottomless pit.

When the spiritual power of the Dao Palace Realm is drained, the spiritual power of the Wheel Sea Realm is extracted; when the Life Spring is dried up, the last bit of life force in the Bitter Sea is squeezed out.

This is the real reason why his cultivation has been declining for the past three years.

The lost spiritual energy was not wasted; it was all used to nourish the awakening of the sacred body.

"Using one's own cultivation to nourish the awakening of the sacred body is such a topsy-turvy situation that it is utterly ridiculous."

Lin Hanzhou shook his head inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless about the cultivation environment in Wulan City.

All I can say is that this place is too small and too remote.

According to Xiao Yan's memory, the strongest expert in this Wulan City was the city lord himself, who had only just reached the [Four Extremes Realm].

The Wheel Sea Realm, Dao Palace Realm, Four Extremes Realm, Dragon Transformation Realm, Immortal Platform Realm... This is a common realm classification used throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Four Extremes Realm is merely the beginning of tempering the limbs of the human body; it can barely be considered as entering the inner sanctum of the cultivation path.

A cultivator of this level naturally has a pitifully narrow perspective and limited knowledge.

They probably hadn't even heard of the "Sacred Body," a supreme physique that only existed in ancient books, let alone seen the true state of Xiao Yan's body.

In the eyes of quack doctors and alchemists who only knew the basics, Xiao Yan's phenomenon of constantly losing spiritual energy and being unable to store it was naturally labeled as "incurable disease" and "a person with broken meridians".

Lin Hanzhou mentally rehearsed the scenario.

If it were the original owner, Xiao Yan, in an environment so devoid of external intervention and spiritually barren, it would probably take at least another fifty years or even longer for his body to passively absorb enough energy to awaken the Holy Body.

Only then might he be able to stop regressing and slowly begin normal cultivation.

For an ordinary cultivator, this means that most of their golden cultivation period has been wasted, truly a case of late bloomer, or even a lifelong regret.

However, the situation is completely different now.

Now that Emperor Lin Hanzhou of Time has awakened his memories, he naturally cannot sit here like a fool and waste decades of his life.

"You think you can trap me, the Emperor, with just the energy bottleneck of awakening the Holy Body?"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Hanzhou's eyes, the unparalleled confidence of a former ruler of the universe.

Although he does not currently possess the extraordinary cultivation level of an emperor, the countless ancient scriptures and heaven-defying secret techniques stored in his mind are his most powerful reliance in this life.

Lin Hanzhou stood up from the rocking chair and stretched his slightly thin body.

Feeling the last trace of spiritual energy within his body, he was not discouraged. Instead, he felt a long-lost sense of vitality in this experience of starting from scratch.

"The first step is to get out of this tiny place."

Lin Hanzhou made a decision.

Staying in this city of Ulan would be a complete waste of time, both for the awakening of his sacred body and for his future path of cultivation.

The spiritual energy here is too murky and thin, and the resources here are too scarce.

Even if he had extraordinary abilities, he couldn't cook without rice. Without enough spiritual herbs and stones to support him, it would be no easy task for him to quickly recover his strength.

In the days following the awakening of his memories, in order to quickly understand the environment of this new world he was in, Lin Hanzhou visited the Xiao family's library and browsed through the dusty books and local chronicles.

However, the result left him somewhat disappointed.

The information recorded in those ancient texts is really limited.

All he knew was that he was currently in a vast kingdom called the Great Li Dynasty, a place where mortals and cultivators lived together.

The Great Li Dynasty has a vast territory, ruling over dozens of major states on this star.

The city of Ulan where he was located was just an inconspicuous small town in a place called "Mobei Prefecture" on the edge of the Great Li Dynasty.

As for what other powerful forces exist outside of the Great Li Dynasty?

Where does this planet stand in the vast universe?

How many light-years away is it from the central area of ​​the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths where he once fought?

There is absolutely no mention of it in classical texts, not even the slightest bit.

This is enough to show that the level of cultivation civilization on this planet is not very high.

To gain more information about the world and the starry sky, and to find the massive resources that could support his return to his peak, his only option was to leave Ulan City and see the wider world outside.

Having made the decision, Lin Hanzhou no longer hesitated.

He turned and went inside, where he began to tidy up his things a bit.

I said I was packing, but there wasn't much to bring.
