Chapter 909: Mid-stage Demigod Aura



As Vaan continued to cultivate the Divine Refining Life Art, he became increasingly proficient in circulating and refining his life energy. It only took him two hours to reach the great success stage and six hours to master it.

After achieving mastery of the Divine Refining Life Art, it was only a matter of repeating the process and accumulating the refined life energy to increase his cultivation level.

However, although the Divine Refining Life Art could be treated as a core energy cultivation method, it was more of a supplementary energy cultivation art. As such, it could supplement his existing energy cultivation instead of replacing it.

Moreover, he had already practiced energy cultivation and reached the Early-stage Heaven Ascension Realm. His Lower Dantian was already filled with divine energy.

After Vaan introduced a thread of refined life energy into his Lower Dantian, he saw it mixed well with his existing divine energy without facing any form of rejection.

In fact, the thread of refined life energy improved the quality of his divine energy and strengthened his energy cultivation.

Nevertheless, Vaan wasn't willing, nor was he planning to increase his energy cultivation further.

He didn't believe he possessed enough energy cultivation methods to know he was cultivating the best energy cultivation method. As such, it was unwise to increase his energy cultivation blindly, lest he end up hitting an unbeatable bottleneck.

Empyrean Scarletsea's True Divinity-level energy cultivation method, the Empyrean Phoenix Flame Art, might be able to help him become an Empyrean God-level energy cultivator.

However, his goal wasn't to become an Empyrean God but far beyond it.

Moreover, the Empyrean Phoenix Flame Art was heavily focused on the Fire Law. It required using the Fire Law as the core to understand and step into the divine way.

Considering he had already comprehended several laws, some of which were even stronger than his Fire Law, the Empyrean Phoenix Flame Art was unsuitable for him.

As such, he wasn't willing to cultivate beyond the Heaven Ascension Realm and enter the Truth Manifestation Realm.

He needed a cultivation method that could encompass everything.

Nevertheless, the Divine Refining Life Art's supplementary aspects weren't limited to energy cultivation.

In fact, Vaan speculated that the strongest supplementary aspects of the Divine Refining Life Art could be found in body cultivation.

Since it was a divine art that could utilize refined life energy to treat all injuries and diseases, it would naturally also heal any tears and ease any burdens brought by overworking the body.

After refining a new strand of life energy, Vaan immediately dispersed it throughout his body instead of sending it to his Lower Dantian.

The cooling sensation brought by the flow of refined life energy coursing through his body helped invigorate him.

Any fatigue in his body was washed away, and any hidden injuries were treated.

However, his body was already the epitome of healthiness. Thus, the excess energy looked for other ways to blend into his body.

As a result, his flesh, muscles, bones, blood, and organs were all strengthened. The imperfections of his body were slightly corrected to match that one that could host a higher lifeform.

After seeing how beneficial the refined life energy was to his body, Vaan began practicing the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art and Divine Refining Life Art simultaneously.

The previous burden on his blood vessels brought by the rapid increase in his aura cultivation was eliminated by the power of refined life energy.

Wherever his blood vessels would strain and tear due to the tyrannical power of his dragon aura, the refined life energy would repair and strengthen.

As such, Vaan's aura cultivation was no longer restricted from making rapid progress.

Even if his body broke down, he had refined life energy to keep it together.

Ding!

<Your aura power has surpassed 3250 units>n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

<Your aura cultivation has advanced to Middle-stage Demigod>

...

After making the breakthrough, Vaan discovered a new problem.

By the time he reached Peak-stage Demigod in his aura cultivation, he was unlikely to proceed any further due to multiple reasons.

His peak-rank aura cultivation method, the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art, only allowed him to cultivate his aura to the Peak-stage Demigod rank to begin with.

Beyond the Demigod rank was a new territory of aura cultivation that had not been explored yet. His aura would have to undergo some sort of qualitative transformation before it could surpass the Demigod rank.

Another reason was the conflict between his Heavenly Formless Dragon Art and his

Everlasting Blood Refining Art.

Although his aura power was stored in his Middle Dantian (heart), and his blood energy was stored in his bone marrow, they both required blood to produce.

Furthermore, there was only so much room in the heart and bone marrow.

As such, once the heart and bone marrow were filled up, his aura power and blood energy needed to expand into new territories if new spaces couldn't be created.

The two powers didn't directly clash with each other like fire and water, but they did compete in a tug of war for more resources.

Even if Vaan hadn't cultivated the Everlasting Blood Refining Art, he would have eventually encountered the same problem once the aura power of his Heavenly Formless Dragon Art reached Peak-stage Demigod level.

In other words, Heavenly Formless Dragon Art was the problem.

The Everlasting Blood Refining Art didn't have a problem with the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art as long as it didn't encroach on its territory.

However, the Heavenly Formless Dragon Art needed more space to store its aura power.

Although storing the aura power inside the Heaven-Swallowing Space could fix the problem,

it would only be a temporary solution.

After all, his aura power would only lose its potency and dissipate if it was away from his physical body for too long.

His aura cultivation level would eventually decline as a result of it.

Even if he could produce aura power faster than its dissipation rate, he would only be

increasing the quantity of his aura power and not its quality.

As such, unless he solved the root of the problem, it wouldn't be possible to advance his aura cultivation to the divine level.

'What can be done to solve this?' Vaan pondered.
