If affected by that move, even Yang Qi and others would probably lose a lot of vitality. However, although this move is powerful, it is not as strange as the soul attack. Practitioners with similar strength will have a certain ability to resist it.
"Is this also due to the purple-blue divine crystal?" Zheng Jie raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, doesn't the purple-blue divine crystal strengthen the body? We also used the purple-blue divine crystal to strengthen our bodies before, why didn't it have such an effect?"
Although the purple-blue divine crystals that everyone refined were not much, they had completely different effects from the method that Shi Zhong had used before. One was to strengthen the physical body, and the other was to directly crystallize the body, just like the practitioners of the body refining flow and the practitioners of the incarnation of the monster beast, which were completely two different ways of cultivation.
"That's because you haven't strengthened your body to the extreme, and you don't know how to practice after your body has been strengthened to the extreme." Shi Zhong explained.
"Strengthen the body to the extreme? What about the subsequent training?"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately looked at Shi Zhong.
They only knew that the Purple-Blue Divine Crystal had the effect of strengthening the physical body, but they did not know that once the physical body was strengthened to the extreme, one could continue to practice with the help of the Purple-Blue Divine Crystal, because there was no record of this at all in the general history of the Purple-Blue Continent.
"In fact, in the 81 ancient cities of the Purple Blue Continent, almost all the top masters know this." Shi Zhong glanced at Yang Qi and the others, and continued, "To use the Purple Blue Divine Crystal to strengthen the body to the extreme, nine top-grade Divine Crystals are needed. Of course, other grades of Divine Crystals can be used for strengthening in the early stage, but the effect will be slightly worse, and in the end, at least three top-grade Divine Crystals are needed. Even the city lord who controls a city may not be able to come up with so many top-grade Divine Crystals, let alone the subsequent practice."
To strengthen the body to the extreme, nine top-grade divine crystals are required
Yang Qi and the others' expressions changed slightly. When using the purple-blue divine crystal to strengthen to a certain extent, it is necessary to use high-grade divine crystals to strengthen, that is, it is necessary to use the best divine crystals. The best divine crystals are extremely precious in the purple-blue continent. Even the mayor of a city may not be able to take out one. However, if you want to strengthen your body to the extreme, you need at least three best divine crystals!
Therefore, simply strengthening the body to the extreme may not be possible even for the lord of a city, let alone other practitioners!
"Once the body is strengthened to the extreme, it is time to strengthen other parts, namely the heart, limbs, torso and head. To strengthen these parts, we must use top-grade divine crystals, nine for each part." Shi Zhong paused here and continued, "Finally, we will use the life crystal of the Crystal Beast King to fuse them. Only in this way can the strengthening effect of the purple blue crystal reach perfection."
There are eight different kinds of enhancements, each of which requires nine top-grade divine crystals, and even the crystal beast king’s natal divine crystal is needed in the end. One can imagine how difficult it is to achieve perfection.
Just the seventy-two top-grade divine crystals alone might not be enough even if one emptied the Purple-Blue Continent, not to mention the innate divine crystal in the body of the last Crystal Beast King. If there were such divine crystals, the peak Martial Kings of the Purple-Blue Continent would have found a way to leave long ago.
"You actually need so many top-grade divine crystals?"
Zhao Hong raised his eyebrows. Although it was not difficult for them to obtain the best divine crystals, it would take time. Each person needed more than 70 best divine crystals, plus the divine crystals in the body of the crystal beast king. I am afraid that they would have to use up all their life-saving trump cards to strengthen themselves to perfection.
Yang Qi and the others also frowned. The best divine crystal was not a difficult thing for them, but the divine crystal in the body of the crystal beast king was not so easy to obtain. After all, the crystal beast king was a crystal beast in the martial emperor realm. Even Yang Qi and Zhao Hong, who were good at the soul, found it difficult to kill the crystal beast king with soul means!
"It is precisely because in order to cultivate to perfection, too many top-grade divine crystals are needed, and no one has ever succeeded in the history of the Purple Blue Continent." Shi Zhong smiled bitterly and continued, "The practitioners who can strengthen their bodies to the extreme and strengthen their parts are basically the top powerhouses of an era. And the practitioners who can strengthen one part, or even two or three parts, are all famous powerhouses even in the history of the Purple Blue Continent."
Hearing Shi Zhong's words, Yang Qi and the others couldn't help but nod slightly. They didn't find it strange. Using the purple-blue divine crystal to strengthen it to perfection was extremely difficult even for them, let alone for the practitioners of the purple-blue continent.
Shi Zhong seemed to know what Yang Qi and the others were thinking, and quickly said, "But you don't have to strengthen your body parts, because according to the records left by the practitioners from outside the domain before, practitioners from outside the domain cannot strengthen their body parts, they can only strengthen their flesh directly."
Can't strengthen a body part
Yang Qi and others were stunned, and then fell silent. They did not doubt what Shi Zhong said. Although this was somewhat unexpected, it was reasonable.
For countless years, the Purple Blue Continent has relied on the Purple Blue Divine Crystal to strengthen itself, and living in a closed world of cultivation, their blood, body, and even soul have changed, just like those who are not from Earth cannot practice the Source Divine Scripture. If you are not a cultivator born and raised in the Purple Blue Continent, you cannot strengthen your body parts and use the Purple Blue Divine Crystal to strengthen your body to perfection.
Upon learning that it was impossible to strengthen body parts, Yang Qi and others were slightly disappointed, but also relieved.
Knowing that they could strengthen their body parts, they were also very excited, but to strengthen their body parts to perfection, it would cost a lot. They were less than halfway to Tianhuang Palace. If they used up their life-saving items so quickly, what would they do if they encountered danger next? Could it be that they would just wait to die!
Therefore, the inability to strengthen body parts has both advantages and disadvantages for Yang Qi and others. Although they cannot strengthen body parts, they are not too disappointed.
“As for strengthening the body to the extreme, it is best to use the best-grade divine crystals from the beginning, because the best-grade divine crystals are perfect divine crystals, the energy contained in them is the purest, and the strengthening effect is also the best, so as to achieve the true extreme.” Shi Zhong seemed to remember something, and looked at Yang Qi and others and said, “However, because the best-grade divine crystals are too precious, most practitioners choose to start refining from the low-grade purple-blue divine crystals.”
Although the effect of using low-grade divine crystals to strengthen the body will be somewhat worse, it can at least reach a certain degree of extreme. For ordinary practitioners who are short of top-grade divine crystals, it is a last resort.
Chen Jie looked at Shi Zhong and said, "Shi Zhong, you are welcome to join us, but remember, do not disclose any information about us to the outside world."
"I understand." Shi Zhong nodded slightly. Yang Qi and others were his hope to leave the Purple Blue Continent. Even if Chen Jie didn't tell him about Yang Qi and others, he would not leak it. (To be continued)
