Chapter 139: Strength Soars

In the days that followed.

Ning Chuan's life became more regular and focused.

Whenever night fell and the moon hung high in the sky.

He would come to the huge reef by the sea.

Bathing in the cold and bright moonlight.

Circulating the newly created 【Moon Spirit Breathing Art】.

Threads of Yin Moonlight power, barely visible to the naked eye, as if drawn by an invisible force.

Descended from the nine heavens, slowly merging into his massive dragon body.

Then, through the profound methods of the 【Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method】.

He fused this moonlight power with his own pitch-black dragon core.

He needed to refine and condense this newly formed dragon core once again.

To completely transform the "Dragon Origin" within it, which still retained some characteristics of martial true qi.

Into a more pure, more primal, and more powerful "demon power"!

This process, though slow, with every trace of true demon power refined.

Ning Chuan could clearly feel his perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becoming sharper.

The very essence of his own power was undergoing a subtle improvement.

That power, compared to simple martial true qi, was more agile, and also more... corrosive and destructive.

During the day, he would stay in the study or martial tower of Taohuadao.

Continuing to read through the vast sea of Taoist scriptures and the martial arts manuals of every sect and school.

Constantly thickening his own foundation and broadening his own horizon.

After all, his 【Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method】 had only just deduced the cultivation method for the first tribulation, the "Dragon Tribulation".

The second tribulation to come, and even higher-level tribulations and cultivation methods.

Would require him to expend more mental energy, and a far greater reserve of knowledge, to slowly deduce them.

This was not a "three-five-three" matter that could be achieved overnight; it could not be rushed.

According to Ning Chuan's calculations.

If the first tribulation of this 【Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method】, the "Dragon Tribulation", could be successfully passed.

The realm it could reach should be roughly equivalent to the Grandmaster Realm in human martial arts.

But due to the strength of the demon body and the special nature of demon power.

Its actual combat power would likely far exceed that of a human Grandmaster of the same level.

Perhaps even enough to go head-to-head with a powerhouse of the Immortal Realm on land.

As for that even more distant second tribulation.

According to his vision, if it could be successfully passed.

Then its strength realm would likely be comparable to a true Immortal on land, or even surpass it!

It would be able to initially grasp some more profound laws of heaven and earth, possessing all sorts of incredible supernatural powers.

This first tribulation, the "Dragon Tribulation", is the most critical first step on the path to becoming a dragon.

Ning Chuan must lay the most solid foundation, leaving no flaw whatsoever.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to immediately undergo the transformation of the dragon core.

Instead, he chose to proceed step by step, steadily and firmly.

As threads of pure demon power were slowly refined within his body.

Although that pitch-black dragon core had not yet undergone its final qualitative change.

Ning Chuan's strength continued to advance at a terrifying speed that made one's heart tremble.

His control over his own power had also reached a new height.

In his spare time.

Ning Chuan would also take some time to continue teaching the people on Taohuadao.

Qu Lingfeng, Lu Chengfeng, Wu Mianfeng, and Feng Mofeng.

Thanks to the residual medicinal power of the dragon essence blood Ning Chuan had bestowed upon them previously.

As well as the improved Taohuadao heart method and Ning Chuan's meticulous guidance that went straight to the core.

Their martial arts cultivation base could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, covering a thousand li in a single day.

In just over a month, they had all successively broken through their original bottlenecks.

Qu Lingfeng even had a faint sign of touching the fourth gate of the Innate Realm.

Lu Chengfeng and the others had also taken a big step forward in the Innate Realm.

And Wang Yuyan, this "Immortal Sister" who had once read all the martial arts under heaven but possessed no strength to bind a chicken herself.

After listening daily to Ning Chuan explain those profound martial arts truths and watching everyone practice exquisite moves.

The heart within her that yearned for martial arts was gradually ignited.

Watching everyone cultivate diligently, their strength improving day by day, she could not help but show deep envy in her eyes.

She also longed for power, longed to be able to control her own destiny, rather than being dependent on others as she had before.

Ning Chuan naturally saw her thoughts.

He recalled that Wang Yuyan had recited and organized martial arts scriptures for him during this period, which counted as a merit.

Moreover, her extensive martial arts knowledge had indeed provided some unique ideas and inspiration for him to pioneer the path of demon cultivation.

So at an appropriate moment, he said to Wang Yuyan:

"Since you have a heart for martial arts, this Seat shall bestow upon you a method to nurture your origin and solidify your foundation."

"Though this method is simple, diligent cultivation can still strengthen the body and lay the groundwork for the martial path."

Ning Chuan acted, using his own pure Dragon Origin power to cleanse her pores and wash her marrow, improving her constitution.

Although it could not instantly transform her, it was enough to make her originally frail body capable of withstanding Internal Energy cultivation.

He also taught her a set of Internal Energy Cultivation Methods he had modified himself, better suited for women to cultivate.

From then on, this 'Fairy Sister' famous throughout the Jianghu could finally embark on the martial path she had dreamed of.

"Thank you, Master, for the grace of rebirth!"

Wang Yuyan felt the changes in her body, as well as that profound Internal Energy Cultivation Method in her mind.

Her gratitude and admiration for Ning Chuan reached a level beyond which nothing could be added.

She completely let go of all past pride and reserve, willingly submitting to Ning Chuan, bowing her head in reverence.

Every day, aside from diligently cultivating the Internal Energy taught by Ning Chuan,

she would do her utmost to organize the martial arts classics collected from various places for Ning Chuan.

Occasionally, relying on her extensive martial knowledge, she would offer unique insights and ideas for Ning Chuan's demon cultivation path, hoping to share his burdens.

Huang Rong saw all of this.

Seeing Wang Yuyan's peerless beauty, and that pitiful, heart-wrenching appearance.

Especially when she saw the unreserved admiration and affection in those beautiful eyes when Wang Yuyan looked at Ning Chuan.

In her heart, Nanmian Society would inevitably rise a tiny, indescribable... jealousy.

After all, Ning Chuan was the 'Brother Ning Chuan' in her heart, the 'future husband' she had acknowledged.
