Slowly, within Henry Langley’s dantian, the Five Elements Chaos Lotus fully bloomed—natural as the Dao, indescribably wondrous.

Chapter 0011: Body Refinement Level Four!

He could finally cultivate!

Henry Langley had waited a full three days, and before that, an even longer wait of ten thousand years. Now, discovering that he could cultivate, he naturally sat cross-legged at once, ready to activate the Five Elements Heavenly Extreme Technique. But he paused slightly, got up, opened the door, and walked out into the courtyard.

Emily Thompson was still in the inner room, secluded in cultivation, trying to break through to Gathering Origin Level Nine. If he cultivated inside, he would disturb the spiritual energy in this small area and affect her.

See, what a considerate host he was.

Henry Langley sat cross-legged in the courtyard. This was his father Douglas Langley’s courtyard. As the head of the Ling family, the courtyard was naturally very large, but Henry Langley had long since dismissed the servants, only letting them deliver meals at mealtimes.

Come on, let me see the power of a divine-grade spiritual root.

With a thought, his spiritual root instantly bloomed like a flower—a Dao Lotus, the five elements in perfect balance, the most perfect form of a spiritual root.

Buzz—spiritual energy surged in from all directions, incomparably dense.

Heaven and earth’s five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—five types of spiritual energy rushed in, like thirsty horses drinking from a spring, madly pouring into his body.

Ordinary people cannot absorb more than one type of spiritual energy at the same time, because it’s impossible to refine multiple types at once; they must choose. For example, if someone has both fire and earth spiritual roots, but the fire root is stronger, then the efficiency of absorbing fire spiritual energy will be higher, so they only need to focus on refining fire spiritual energy—it’s impossible to have both.

But the wonder of the Five Elements Chaos Lotus lies in using the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, allowing the five types of spiritual energy to form a perfect balance. However, absorbing spiritual energy is one thing; refining it is another. Only the Five Elements Heavenly Extreme Technique can accomplish this.

Not everyone can master this technique either—it requires multitasking, not making the slightest mistake. Otherwise, if the vital energy goes astray in the meridians, at best you’ll cough up blood, at worst you could die on the spot.

Divine-grade spiritual root, heavenly-grade technique, and extraordinary control—only when these three come together can someone with the Five Elements Chaos Lotus spiritual root cultivate the Five Elements Heavenly Extreme Technique. With such high requirements, it’s easy to imagine how fast Henry Langley’s cultivation would progress.

Endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged in, constantly generating vital energy within Henry Langley’s body, fusing into his flesh, blood, muscles, and bones.

Martial artists at the Body Refinement Realm have not yet opened their dantian, so they can only store vital energy in their flesh, blood, muscles, and bones. Only after reaching the Gathering Origin Realm can they open the dantian, forming a small world within to contain vital energy.

In his previous life, he was a powerhouse at the Heaven-Man Realm, so naturally he would never go astray in cultivation. Now, possessing the world’s most powerful spiritual root and cultivating the top technique, his progress was naturally as fast as flying.

Mid-stage Body Refinement Level Two, late stage, peak—he merely gave a slight shudder, and immediately broke through the barrier to Body Refinement Level Three.

So fast!

Henry Langley nodded to himself. In his previous life, he had a top-grade heavenly spiritual root, but it still took him twelve days to go from Body Refinement Level Two to Level Three—not because the top-grade heavenly root was that much worse than the divine-grade, but because at that time Henry Langley was cultivating a top-grade yellow-rank technique.

Now, it was as if he stood on the shoulders of giants—his starting point was incomparable to his previous life.

He had no intention of stopping, focusing single-mindedly on refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, turning it into his own vital energy.

Early, mid, late, and peak stages of Body Refinement Level Three—within just a few hours, he reached the pinnacle of this level and was ready to break through again. However, after such a long period of cultivation, his spirit was greatly depleted; after all, the control required for the Five Elements Heavenly Extreme Technique was extremely high.

If he continued, he might go astray with his vital energy at any moment, which would do more harm than good.

But, having come this far, he had to break through to Body Refinement Level Four today no matter what!

Level Three was the early stage of Body Refinement, while Level Four was the middle stage—a leap forward.

For ordinary people, breaking through in a short time was nothing short of a fantasy; it would take at least two or three days of accumulation and effort. But Henry Langley in his previous life was a Heaven-Man Realm powerhouse; for him, before reaching the Heaven-Man Realm, there was no such thing as “barriers” or “bottlenecks.”

“Break for me!” he murmured, and subtle changes occurred within his body. With a slight tremor, he broke through again.

“Body Refinement Level Four—now I can finally show my face.” He revealed a smile. This level of cultivation was still not high among his peers, but to advance two minor realms in a single night still made him very satisfied.

Moreover, he was cultivating a heavenly-grade technique, so his vital energy was incomparably pure, its quality far surpassing that of ordinary people. The power of Body Refinement Level Four was enough to rival Level Five, or even Level Six!

“Sleep!” He climbed into bed. Because of his mental exhaustion, he quickly fell asleep, but his consciousness always remained seventy percent alert, ready to wake at the slightest disturbance.

The night passed, and he was awakened by a powerful fluctuation of vital energy.

He immediately sat up, alert, but then suddenly realized—it wasn’t that someone had come to kill him, but that Emily Thompson had broken through!
