Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely Chapter 1426 - 456: Youths and Face-Slapping, the Secret of the Five Luminaries Tribulation Body, Dark Merchant Invitation Letter, Making the Rankings (Part 4)...

"According to the book's description, the thousand-zhang bone appearance that manifests during combat is merely a shadow of the Bone Appearance Battle Body. The true Bone Appearance Battle Body is what I can summon during cultivation sessions. It's currently six zhang tall, representing mid-stage cultivation. After breaking through to the late stage, it's projected to reach nine zhang!

However, the book also mentions that at the Peak of Xianyang, the Golden Body Battle Form has its limitations: Iron Bone can reach up to three zhang; Silver Bone, four zhang; Gold Bone, six zhang; and Jade Bone represents the ultimate limit at a nine-zhang Golden Body..."

Therefore, as my Bone Burning talent advances to the Peak of Manifested Yang Level, it will once again defy the conventions of the Ice Abyss and form a Golden Body Battle Form surpassing nine zhang!

Upon reaching this conclusion, Xia Hong's expression flickered with excitement for a moment before he composed himself.

This was something anticipated!

Having defied conventions during breakthroughs in both the Earth-digging and Cold Resistance levels, it was natural that this stage of the Manifest Level would be no exception.

His sole curiosity now revolved around the true power of a Golden Body Battle Form summoned by a formidable individual at the Peak of Xianyang Realm.

"Cai Yunqing possesses an ability of only 28 Jun, likely indicating late-stage cultivation, so she certainly doesn't have a Golden Body Battle Form. However, the elderly man in blue at the entrance of the Book Collection Tower, with over 50 Jun ability, is probably a strong figure at the Peak of Xianyang Realm. If he were to summon his Golden Body Battle Form, his ability would undoubtedly increase significantly. If only I could spar with him!"

Xia Hong chuckled, dismissing the impractical thought.

Within all of Cai Qiu, counting Landgrave Cai Qianshan, there are merely five Tribulation Body Realm experts openly acknowledged. Excluding them, those strong individuals at the Peak of Manifested Yang Level are the preeminent figures, and their numbers are limited, let alone. Their status must be exceptionally high; how could anyone casually challenge them to a spar?

"To surpass the Peak of Manifested Yang Level, achieve the War Body Golden Body, and then ascend to the Tribulation Body Realm, one must continue to develop the Golden Body Organs, a process abbreviated as Opening the Organs.

This so-called opening of the organs involves using immense quantities of Five Elements Tribulation Qi to impact the golden body. At the critical juncture of life and death, this forces the golden body to spontaneously generate its first organ.

As this process inflicts pain a hundredfold greater than Xianyang Tempering Bone and carries a substantial risk of fatality, it is termed the Five Elements Tribulation. Survival through this ordeal grants one the Tribulation Body. This realm no longer has divisions like early, mid, late, or peak stages, as seen in previous levels. Instead, it is segmented by the number of times the Five Elements Tribulation is endured, ranging from First Turn to Fifth Turn, with the latter being the zenith.

Typically, vast reservoirs of Five Elements Tribulation Qi can be found in two primary locations:

Firstly, within the naturally occurring Five Elements Forbidden Lands scattered throughout the Ice Abyss, such as primordial volcanoes, icebergs that have remained unmelted for millennia, or sentient mountains and forests.

Secondly, within the very bodies of Emperor-level Cold Beasts from the Five Luminaries Realm.

Consequently, this aligns once more..."

Low-level Cold Beasts serve as essential resources for two cultivation realms: logging and earth-digging cultivation. The blood of intermediate Cold Beasts corresponds to the peak of the Earth-digging Realm. High-level beast bones are crucial for the Cold Resistance Level. Beast King level bones are then needed for the Manifested Yang Level. Currently, the Emperor-level Cold Beasts of the Five Luminaries Realm are vital resources for the breakthrough to the Tribulation Body Realm...

"Not only for opening the organs but even following the breakthrough, completing the entire cultivation process for the Tribulation Body Realm requires developing the first organ, nurturing it, and then solidifying it. Subsequently, following the sequence of Five Elements Mutual Generation, the remaining four organs are developed in succession. This entire procedure heavily relies on Five Elements Tribulation Qi.

Thus, Emperor-level Cold Beasts are designated as indispensable resources for Tribulation Body cultivation!"

Of course, Five Elements Tribulation Qi is not exclusively found within Emperor-level Cold Beasts; it also permeates the naturally occurring Five Elements Forbidden Lands within the Ice Abyss.

The pertinent question remains: do you possess the audacity to venture into such locales?

Eternal volcanoes, icebergs that defy millennia of thawing, sentient mountains and forests—merely from the book's literal descriptions, one can roughly infer the perilous nature of these places.

To put it another way, if you were fortunate enough to discover such beneficial locations, can you guarantee that nothing more terrifying than Emperor-level Cold Beasts resides within?

In stark contrast, the Cold Beasts native to the Five Luminaries Realm presented a far more suitable challenge for humans.

"However, the determination of who serves as whose cultivation resource is yet to be settled..."

A sudden recollection surfaced in Xia Hong's mind, prompting a curious smirk to grace his features.

"The Tribulation Body Realm signifies two crucial aspects: firstly, the aforementioned endurance of the Five Elements Tribulation; and secondly, the fact that the human organs within this realm are exceptionally precious cultivation resources for Emperor-level Cold Beasts of the Five Luminaries Realm and Calamity Level Deceitful Monsters. This is precisely why it's referred to as a Tribulation of oneself.

Weaker Emperor-level Cold Beasts from the Five Luminaries Realm, possessing any one of the Five Elements – gold, wood, water, fire, or earth – can be managed with relative ease. The most formidable Emperor-level Cold Beasts, those wielding the Five Elements Tribulation Qi, are immune to both water and fire, impervious to poisons, and possess bodies incredibly resistant to damage, exhibiting virtually no weaknesses. Even human experts at the Fifth Turn Tribulation Body Realm would face certain death if targeted by them in the open;

Calamity Level Deceitful Monsters at this stage are not merely defined by their potent abilities. Their primary danger lies in their insidious tactic of using humans as bait to lure and hunt their targets, rendering them almost impossible to confront directly.

Therefore, experts in the Tribulation Body Realm typically shun unfamiliar territories. They even go to great lengths to conceal their presence, never lingering in one location for extended periods, constantly fearing the attraction of formidable deceitful monsters and cold beasts. The more densely populated an area, the less likely they are to remain for long..."

Could it be, then, that Cai Qiuyang is simply not within the confines of Lin Chu County City?

The peculiar expression on Xia Hong's face gradually receded, replaced by a palpable sense of gravity.

The accounts found within the Book Collection Tower concerning Cai Qiu were undoubtedly accurate, demonstrating that despite the surge in human power upon reaching the Tribulation Body Realm, the overall precariousness of their situation, alongside their own vulnerability, escalates dramatically.
