Chapter 615

Urgent! Major plot twist! Read quickly.

Just as he intended to shrink his body, a violent tremor suddenly came from within his body.

The internal circulation had mutated.

Jie Ming's expression tightened, and he immediately turned his attention to his body.

He saw that the internal circulation system, which had already been running stably, was undergoing some kind of chain reaction.

That force of circulation, endless and continuous, suddenly accelerated, as if pushed by some external force, and the rotation speed climbed sharply.

At the same time, the cave heaven in his body began to expand frantically.

That was a space that existed within his body but was independent of reality, which had originally stabilized at a relatively mature scale.

But now, the boundary of this space was pushing outward at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like a balloon being blown up, with the edges constantly expanding.

The speed of expansion was too fast.

Jie Ming could feel the boundary of the cave heaven in his body frantically devouring the surrounding endless chaotic void, converting chaotic and disordered elements into a part of the cave heaven.

The spiritual power consumed by this process was an astronomical figure, and the spiritual power reserve in his body almost bottomed out in a few breaths.

"Fortunately... the spiritual energy problem was solved long ago."

With a thought, the cross-spatial energy transmission system of the Incense Divine Dao responded immediately.

The massive amount of spiritual energy stored in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane was transmitted over, like an invisible energy pipeline, continuously pouring into his body.

The consumption and replenishment of spiritual power reached a balance in an instant.

Jie Ming breathed a sigh of relief and began to focus on maintaining the stable operation of the internal circulation.

The expansion of the cave heaven was not achieved overnight, and this process required a considerable amount of time.

He had to ensure that the energy supply in his body would not be interrupted, and at the same time, he had to monitor the stability of the cave heaven boundary at all times to prevent spatial collapse during the expansion process.

"It's fine, it's just a routine expansion after the life form promotion, there's no danger."

Jie Ming calculated his current state silently in his heart, and then completely sank into the cultivation state.

Time passed silently in the secret chamber.

Jie Ming maintained the posture of sitting cross-legged, his thousand-meter-tall dark golden body motionless, only the energy light occasionally flashing on his body surface proved that he was still alive.

The energy transmission of the Incense Divine Dao never stopped, and massive amounts of spiritual energy continuously poured into his body, supporting the continuous expansion of the cave heaven.

On the first day, the area of the cave heaven expanded by about double.

On the third day, the boundary of the cave heaven had advanced to three times the original.

On the seventh day, the expansion speed began to slow down, but the boundary was still steadily pushing outward.

On the fifteenth day, after the last violent tremor, the cave heaven in his body finally stabilized.

Jie Ming opened his eyes, his divine sense swept over this brand-new cave heaven in his body, and even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the data he calculated.

The area of the cave heaven in his body had expanded by at least ten times.

If calculating the increased volume, the multiplier was even greater.

This cave heaven had truly grown from the scale of a "small world" to the level of a "plane."

And the self-evolution of the cave heaven had not completely stopped.

Even though the expansion had ended, the boundary of the cave heaven was still pushing outward at an extremely slow speed; that speed was almost negligible, but Jie Ming's spiritual power was sharp enough to capture this change.

He thought about it slightly and understood the reason: the evolution of the true body made his carrying capacity stronger, and the cave heaven in his body thus gained greater room for growth.

This was not what excited him the most.

Jie Ming turned his attention to the spiritual energy that was continuously appearing out of thin air in the cave heaven.

Before the promotion, the spiritual energy born "out of nothing" in the cave heaven in his body could only be considered better than nothing.

It was barely enough to maintain the operation of the cave heaven itself, let alone provide combat supplies for him.

But now...

Jie Ming calculated carefully, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The amount of spiritual energy born in the cave heaven in his body every moment was actually enough to completely fill the spiritual power he had exhausted in his body within a quarter of an hour!

A quarter of an hour.

Jie Ming confirmed this data three times before finally being sure that he hadn't calculated wrong.

Although he had the Incense Divine Dao and the level-seven large elemental pool, he didn't need to worry about the problem of spiritual energy consumption, but this meant that the spiritual energy birth efficiency of the cave heaven in his body had become strong to an exaggerated degree.

After all, this was not energy converted, but genuine extra power born out of nothing!

More importantly... this fully explained the future potential of the cave heaven in his body.

Jie Ming took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down from the excitement, and continued to check the changes in other aspects.

After the Dharma Body became the true body, the cultivation techniques that had accompanied him for many years also underwent essential changes.

First is "Internal Circulation."

Originally, if the cave heaven in his body wanted to grow actively, it required him to actively operate this body-refining technique, guiding spiritual energy to circulate back and forth in his body.

At the same time, in this process, he tempered his physical body and accumulated power.

But now, this technique had completely merged into his instinct, as natural as breathing and heartbeat.

It didn't require the intervention of any subjective will; it was just there, running without stopping for a moment.

Jie Ming tried to move his attention away from the internal circulation and found that it was still running stably, even faster than when he was actively controlling it by three points.

This is no longer a "technique."

This is an innate divine ability, an instinct born with him.

The "Body-Refining Technique" is also the same.

This body-refining technique that allowed him to withstand damage and gradually evolve various resistances in countless battles had also turned into an instinct.

Jie Ming could feel that his body was performing some kind of micro-level self-adjustment at all times, and the parameters of his body were being optimized in real-time according to changes in the environment.

What's even better is that these two body-refining techniques that turned into instincts seemed to have produced some kind of fusion.

Jie Ming felt it carefully and found that the endless power generated when the internal circulation was running was merging into the adaptive evolution process of the body-refining technique in an extremely natural way.

Conversely, the optimization of the body structure by the body-refining technique also significantly improved the operation efficiency of the internal circulation.

The two techniques supported each other and served as each other's surface and interior, forming a perfect positive cycle.

After the two techniques merged, the impact on the cave heaven in his body could not be seen for the time being, but the impact in another aspect was immediate.

He could feel that the "Body-Refining Technique" seemed to have begun to possess the ability of "creating something out of nothing."

Just like the cave heaven in his body could give birth to spiritual energy out of thin air, his body itself seemed to be producing spiritual energy at an extremely slow speed.

Although this speed was indeed very slow.

If the total amount of spiritual power in his body was compared to a vast ocean, then the spiritual energy produced by the body-refining technique every moment was probably equivalent to a drop of water.

So little that it could almost be ignored.

But Jie Ming didn't care.

What he cared about was "possibility."

The body-refining technique can produce spiritual energy out of thin air, which means this path is correct.

With the improvement of his strength and the evolution of his true body, this speed will become faster and faster.

Perhaps one day in the future, relying solely on his physical body, he could produce enough spiritual power to support high-intensity combat.

At that time, he wouldn't even need to rely on the external environment, wouldn't need to rely on the energy transmission of the Incense Divine Dao, and would be a self-sufficient perpetual motion machine relying solely on himself.

Jie Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and decided to test the power of the true body first.

He raised his right arm, and the dark golden arm shone with a warm luster in the dim light of the secret chamber.

He spread his five fingers and then slowly clenched his fist.

Just such a simple action, and the air in the secret chamber was compressed into a sonic boom.

Jie Ming raised his brows slightly and increased the power output.

This time, he clearly felt the space under his palm sink.

And the distorted space did not collapse immediately, but maintained this state all along.

This shows that although Jie Ming did not deliberately use power now, relying on his physical instinct, he could still perform extremely precise and extremely restrained spatial manipulation.

His fist was like a miniature gravitational source, pulling the surrounding space toward his palm.

Jie Ming loosened his fist, and the space returned to normal.

He nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he realized a problem.

Looking down at his body, the dark golden skin shone with a metallic luster in the light, the muscle lines were distinct, and it was full of power.

As a Dharma Body, this body was undoubtedly perfect.

But the problem is...

He didn't seem to be wearing any clothes.

The clothing in the Dharma Body form before seemed to be just some kind of energy special effect, and it naturally disappeared after the Dharma Body turned into the true body.

Jie Ming thought about it and felt that this was reasonable.

The Dharma Body was not a true flesh and blood body, and that clothing was just a decorative item condensed from energy.

Now that the Dharma Body has turned into the true body, those decorations naturally vanished into smoke.

But this state at the moment was really not very decent.

Jie Ming had a thought, and the true body slowly faded into the void.

The huge dark golden body was erased from the reality level by some force, becoming transparent bit by bit, and finally disappeared completely in the secret chamber.

Immediately after, dots of starlight gathered in the center of the secret chamber, quickly forming a body the size of a normal person.

Jie Ming moved his new body, bending and stretching his fingers, rotating his wrists, moving his shoulder blades back and forth, confirming that there was no problem.

He looked down at his hands.

The skin was of a normal skin tone, and the blood vessels and tendons under the skin could be vaguely seen, no different from a true flesh and blood body.

He tried to operate the internal circulation, and that endless power immediately circulated in his body, as smooth as breathing.

Everything is normal.

No, it should be said that everything is better than before.

Although this body the size of a normal person is far inferior to that thousand-meter true body in terms of power limit, it is even better in terms of flexibility and energy utilization efficiency.

This is like stuffing the energy core of a giant engineering machine into a precision instrument.

The total power may have dropped, but the unit power density and control precision have achieved a qualitative leap.

Jie Ming stood up from the stone platform, walked two steps, and after confirming that there was no problem, finally showed a satisfied smile.

He walked to the edge of the secret chamber, raised his hand to press on the wall, and pushed the door out.

The door of the specially made heightened secret chamber slowly closed behind him, making a dull sound.

Jie Ming stood in the corridor, feeling the familiar energy fluctuations of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, calculating his next plan in his heart.

Void Refinement perfection has been achieved.

The next step is to move toward the Dao Integration Stage.
