Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 136 - Cultivating the Bone Chapter

Long Di’s physique seemed to be absorbing the tribulation lightning. Right now, the inside of his body seemed to be a world fraught with tribulation lightning among a sea of stars.

“I’m thinking I’m really starting to love this physique of mine.”

****

“Uptown Idiot I-Can’t-Sneeze Physique… no wonder it gave it that name,” Long Di mumbled to himself as he observed the changes in his body.

Long Di was a petty person. Because he was displeased with the Destiny Scale choosing a name for his physique, he subconsciously suppressed the name and so every time, he called the name; it ended up being something that sounded vaguely similar to it.

Luckily, he did remember the reason the Destiny Scale gave him for its naming choice. Which is why the name he said a while ago and the words after sounded so weird together.

‘Looks like the Destiny Scale was able to see farther than me at that time. So based on what I can see, this physique is acting as its own world. I can use it to store a buttload of tribulation lightning to use whenever I want. Not only that, if it really is a ‘Heaven’ of its own, then I can put a bunch of other power sources in there that I can draw on. I’ll effectively have a world’s worth of… no, a heaven’s worth of energy at my disposal. Holy cow, this thing is broken as hell… and I love it. Then let’s get to work!’

Even Long Di grew excited at the prospect of having such a broken-as-hell physique at his disposal. The only thing to do was to make it worth it and to do that, he had to make it a world worth living in.

Krrsssh!

The physique was like a bottomless pit as it kept on absorbing more and more Heavenly Levyance tribulation lightning.

Long Di’s body gave off a picture of a storm that raged without end. There were no clouds here, only lightning wracked the world with reckless abandon.

Countless explosions lit up a strange sky as lightning bolts collided with each other without end!

Long Di’s body was the embodiment of the apocalypse and it was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Two full days had passed. During this time, Long Di had to move several times as his cultivation technique sucked dry the spiritual energy in the nearby surroundings. Waiting for it to replenish was an option, but moving was a bit faster, and he didn’t want to waste any time in getting this done.

‘I need to get more energy sources in here because, as of now, this isn’t a world worth living in. This is a world of death, and it’s the spasmodic kind too… Hm?’

Long Di realised that even though the Profound Myriad Heavenseize Physique could accommodate more tribulation lightning, he was feeling full.

‘This must be a limitation caused by my current realm. I need to get stronger so that I can have a surplus of tribulation lightning to empower my attacks. Still, I do have a LOT of it right now so I should be good.’

Long Di let out a turbid breath of air after an intensive session of cultivation. He realised during this time that there was no way to increase the healing of his missing earth esse. Luckily, however, his Profound Myriad Heavenseize Physique seemed to be absorbing some obscure energy of the world that he couldn’t grasp no matter how much he tried and that played a part in fully healing him.

“That must have been the earth esse I was missing. If only I could absorb it at will, though it seems that keeping my physique activated is the only way for me to continuously absorb it. I’ll do just that whenever I’m cultivating, cuz lord knows that me walking around with a body of lightning will give it away that something ain’t so right with me.”

Long Di released his physique, and his appearance went back to its former state.

“Hmm, I haven’t gotten started on cultivating the Bone Chapter yet,” Long Di realised that he hadn’t yet tried cultivating the Bone Chapter of the Foundation Forge Body Tempering Art.

“I’m sure they won’t mind waiting for a little longer. Then let’s see what I can expect.”

Deciding to make this a full-fledged cultivation session, Long Di read through the details of the art that Uncle Tian Lu left for him.

After a moment, he said nothing for a while before he looked off into the distance with a profound look on his blank face.

“That old man did give me an art loved by sadomasochists everywhere,” he said after a while.

“Oh well. Beggars can’t be choosers, might as well give it a shot.”

Going over what he received, Long Di realised that the Foundation Forge Body Tempering Art had a few stages and substages for each.

As of now, he was currently cultivating the Bone Chapter. The Bone Chapter had four stages to it, which were the Jade level, Sapphire Level, Ruby Level and Diamond Level.

Only by practising the Bone Chapter to the pinnacle could he move on to the next chapter, which would be the Flesh Chapter.

“So that’s what the hammer and the old rusty forge was for.”

Long Di realised at one point when he was cycling through his primary storage ring that there was a forging hammer and an old broken-down-looking portable forge in there.

He then recalled at one point when Uncle Tian Lu had his storage rings; he had placed something or some things in one of them but said nothing further on the subject.

Taking out the hammer, he nearly lost hold of it.

“Sweet corn on a cob,” the veins on his hands bulged as he held it.

It was an unremarkable tool. Like something made to collect dust in a worn-down workshop. The metal it was made from couldn’t be made out, but it was carved with numerous runes that appeared similar to the armaments that Uncle Tian Lu had given him before. The most striking characteristic about it, however, was that the small hammer was heavy as hell!

“Wait, so if the hammer is this heavy, then how heavy is the forge exactly?” he asked himself.

To avoid any accident, he decided to take it out slowly and with great care…

“Oh, for Pete’s sake.”

Boom!
