Chapter 753: The Inner Universe within the Nine Tribulations

Inside the Palace of Seeking Dao, Fang Yu was studying an object that looked like a stone slab.

Under normal circumstances, the metal grades on Earth are basically Grade A. Finding Grade B metal is an extremely difficult task, yet here on Earth, there exists an E-grade Mechanical Race spaceship and this stone slab, which transcends both E-grade and F-grade.

This stone slab contains a vast amount of information.

When Fang Yu entered the slab with his powerful spiritual sense, he immediately felt one illusion after another, but those illusions had no effect on him.

As all the illusions vanished, characters appeared on the surface of the slab.

This stone slab was actually a peculiar item used to store inherited information.

The information consisted of square characters, totaling 36,923 in all. However, Fang Yu did not recognize them; they belonged to the Yan God Race.

There had been a brief record in the Golden Horned Giant Beast’s inherited memories: the Yan God Race is one of the billions of races in the vast universe, a powerful race that must not be provoked.

The information on the Yan God Race in the Golden Horned Giant Beast’s inherited memories was very sparse, with only a strong warning not to provoke them. Clearly, even for a monstrous race like the Golden Horned Giant Beast, the Yan God Race is an extremely powerful existence.

Fang Yu saw the Yan God characters, but he did not know what they meant.

However, this was not a difficult problem. A wisp of Fang Yu’s consciousness entered the Virtual Universe directly to find a way to translate them.

Message content: "Nine Tribulations XX."

"Flesh-based life consists mainly of two parts: the body and the soul. Both are of equal importance. The owner of this classic desires to alter the internal structure of the body, causing the body to undergo gradual changes and the bodily functions to evolve actively."

"This cultivation path carries many dangers and is divided into nine tribulations. Failure in any one of these tribulations will cause the soul to collapse and the body to be destroyed, resulting in immediate death."

"First Tribulation: ..."

"Second Tribulation: ..."

"Third Tribulation: ..."

"Ninth Tribulation: ..."

The content recorded on this stone slab seemed to be a very mysterious cultivation technique. It contained over 30,000 characters, but it was riddled with omissions; even the name of the technique was incomplete. The title consisted of four characters, but only the first two, "Nine Tribulations," were known, while the last two remained unknown.

Nine Tribulations.

Hearing the words "Nine Tribulations," Fang Yu wanted to add the words "Sword Canon" to the end.

Nine Tribulations Sword Canon.

Nine Tribulations Sword.

However, it was clear that this manual was not about a sword canon; the entire text described a secret manual for actively evolving bodily functions.

Theoretically, the evolutionary leaps of body genes only happen a few times: from Apprentice to Planetary, Planetary to Stellar, Stellar to Universe, Universe to Sector Lord, and Sector Lord to World Lord. Breaking through these bottlenecks causes major leaps in bodily functions. But according to this Nine Tribulations Manual, one can evolve their life functions at any given moment.

Body evolution, soul evolution.

Evolving bodily functions at every realm—this is a secret manual that transcends countless cultivation methods of the past.

Its preciousness is such that even a World Lord or an Immortal would be shocked to see it.

A World Lord who cultivates to the ninth stage of the World Lord realm is very likely to remain a ninth-stage World Lord for life. But if they were to cultivate this Nine Tribulations Manual and constantly accumulate bodily functions, they might just be able to push a World Lord to the Immortal realm.

"Nine Tribulations Manual."

Fang Yu sat cross-legged, studying the cultivation method of this manual. To practice it, one needs the Soul Crystal Ball and the Force Crystal Ball as the two cores, releasing spiritual sense and force to continuously integrate into every part of the body, making the Soul Crystal Ball, the Force Crystal Ball, and the body form a balance as if they were one, and then begin cultivating the manual to drive the evolution of body genes.

Once it fails, all three collapse.

Whether it is the Force Crystal Ball, the spiritual sense crystal ball, or one's own body, everything collapses.

For normal flesh-based life, once the Force Crystal Ball and spiritual sense crystal ball collapse into dust, death is certain.

Of course, for an existence like Fang Yu who has reached the fifth level of the Longevity Realm, the Creation Realm, the Force Crystal Ball and spiritual sense crystal ball are not important at all. He is an immortal body; he is least afraid of cultivating himself to death.

Chi, chi!

Following the local customs, a spiritual sense crystal ball representing soul power and a Force Crystal Ball representing strength appeared within Fang Yu's body. The spiritual sense crystal ball and Force Crystal Ball shot out 720 energy filaments almost simultaneously, quickly drilling into 720 key energy acupuncture points in his body.

"The body forms an inner universe, arise!"

Boom!

The Force Crystal Ball and spiritual sense crystal ball shook violently, shooting out another 36,000 filaments. These dense energy filaments connected every part of Fang Yu's body, as if forming a brand-new energy meridian, allowing the Force Crystal Ball and spiritual sense crystal ball to combine with the body more closely than ever before.

The three formed a perfect balance, like the operation of a universe.

72,000 fine filaments and 1,440 main filaments perfectly combined the Force Crystal Ball, the soul crystal ball, and the body, simulating the entire interior of the body as an 'inner universe.' Immediately, this inner universe directly drove the elevation of the essence of life throughout Fang Yu's body.

"A very profound change; it actually constructed an inner universe just like that."

Fang Yu sat cross-legged, watching the bits of energy continuously transmit along the filaments, penetrating into his body and driving the evolution of his life functions. Fang Yu didn't actually care too much about this point.

What he cared about was that the 72,000 auxiliary filaments, 1,440 main filaments, the Force Crystal Ball, the soul crystal ball, and the body had actually simulated a cosmic cycle—a perfect cosmic cycle. ===== CHAPTER 1186 =====
