The Little Mouse's injuries were too severe, and it needed to find a safe place to cultivate.
Fang Chen thought of Tie Jia.
The last time he came to the Star Ruins was still vivid in his mind.
They went around the ice mountain and traveled 10,000 miles.
They arrived at the spirit river that Tie Jia was guarding.
"Huh?"
Fang Chen's arrival surprised Tie Jia.
"Brother Fang Chen, why have you come?" Tie Jia was sitting leisurely in the air above the spirit river, resting with his eyes closed. Feeling someone approaching, he opened his eyes and saw that it was Fang Chen. He was overjoyed.
"I was being hunted down, so I activated the token," Fang Chen explained simply.
Tie Jia nodded.
Then, Tie Jia said, "Brother Fang Chen, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your cultivation level has reached the Heavenly Body Tier. Not bad."
Tie Jia could tell Fang Chen's cultivation level with a single glance.
"Brother Tie Jia, my brother is injured. Can he enter the spirit river to recuperate?" Fang Chen asked.
All the bones in the Little Mouse's body were shattered, and its injuries were severe. Fang Chen could only think of the spirit river.
Hearing this, Tie Jia looked at the Little Mouse.
Then, his expression changed drastically.
"He entered the ice mountain."
Fang Chen shook his head, and said, "He wanted to suck out a corpse from the ice under the ice mountain, and was injured."
"This little family is really lucky," Tie Jia said in a low voice.
Even Tie Jia was terrified of the danger of the ice mountain.
"Brother Fang Chen, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't go to the ice mountain," Tie Jia said solemnly.
Fang Chen clasped his hands. "Thank you for the reminder."
"Alright, put it in the spirit river," Tie Jia said.
Fang Chen was secretly delighted, and immediately put the Little Mouse in the spirit river.
Instantly, the Little Mouse's body disappeared into the spirit river.
Tie Jia's eyes were fixed on Fang Chen. He chuckled, and said, "Brother Fang Chen, are you interested in trying to see if you can break the record of the Heavenly Body Tier?"
Hearing this, Fang Chen was also stunned.
A Heavenly Body Tier record?
Yao remembered that when he entered the spirit river back then, he was merely a Mystic King Realm martial artist.
At that time, he had broken the record for capturing spirit pythons at the Profound King Realm.
The ninety-nine Spiritual Pythons had reached the limit of the Profound King Realm. Thus, he had received a very strong baptism of the Spirit River, which had benefited him greatly.
Thirty thousand years ago, there was a genius with the True Meaning of Time who held the record of nineteen spirit pythons.
Now, after a few years, he was back in the Star Relic.
The more he thought about it, the more restless he felt in his heart.
"How is it? With your strength, perhaps you really can break the record of the Heavenly Body Tier," Iron Armor said with a smile.
For countless years, he had always been accompanied by the spirit river and rarely saw human ancient martial art practitioners.
As for Fang Chen, he was the only human ancient martial art practitioner recently.
Moreover, he had broken the record, reaching the limit of the Profound King Realm. Iron Armor thought very highly of Fang Chen.
"What's the record of the Heavenly Body Tier?" Fang Chen asked.
"The limit of the Heaven Dipper Tier is 3,600 spirit pythons, and the record is 3510 spirit pythons.
As for the limit of the Heavenly Body Tier, it's 40,000 spirit pythons, and the record is 41,000, "Iron Armor said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen's heart trembled slightly.
The record of the Heavenly Body Tier was 41,000, and he had to capture more than this to break the record.
"Try it," Iron Armor said.
Fang Chen nodded, and was sent into the spirit river by Iron Armor.
Huala!
Inside the spirit river, Spirit Qi surged.
This Spiritual Qi was mixed with the rich power of the stars.
Fang Chen had just entered the spirit river when he felt rich power of stars crazily surging from all directions.
In his qi sea, the four-story Star Pagoda was shaking.
Weng!
Because he had already experienced it once, capturing this time was a walk in the park.
First, Fang Chen burrowed into the depths of the spirit river.
Because there were almost no spirit pythons on the surface of the spirit river.
Secondly, Fang Chen displayed the perfect Sword Body to resist the strong water pressure in the depths of the spirit river.
"Start capturing."
A hint of heat also appeared in Fang Chen's eyes.
He didn't know if he could reach the limit.
Huala!
With a wave of his hand, the first spirit python was captured.
"En."
Fang Chen discovered that the spirit python captured this time was completely different from the last time.
Although it was a spirit python, most of its body was made up of the power of stars.
"So strong."
The spirit python struggled, and the power of stars in its body poured into his body.
Fang Chen put away this spirit python and continued to capture.
In a short while, he captured hundreds of spirit pythons.
Time trickled by as the metal armor in the sky above the Spirit River watched this scene quietly.
"With Brother Fang Chen's potential, there's no pressure before 30,000 spirit pythons."
Iron Armor had guarded this place for countless years and was very clear about the power of the spirit pythons.
He was very confident in his judgment.
Fang Chen was crazily capturing the spirit pythons, while Iron Armor was admiring it.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Fang Chen was really crazy. In just three days, the number of spirit pythons he captured had reached 10,000.
He was still crazily capturing.
However, to Iron Armor's surprise, Fang Chen did not absorb the spirit pythons he captured. Instead, he gave them all to his partner, the injured Little Mouse.
"This kid is very loyal."
Iron Armor smiled when he saw this.
The spirit pythons were of little help to Fang Chen.
However, they were of great help to the Little Mouse.
After absorbing 10,000 spirit pythons, the Little Mouse's injuries were instantly healed.
Seeing this, Fang Chen heaved a sigh of relief and continued to capture spirit pythons.
In this way, Fang Chen captured 40,000 spirit pythons in one breath.
When the number of spirit pythons he captured exceeded 30,000, Iron Armor above the spirit river began to be shocked.
His judgment was actually wrong.
"Easily capturing 40,000 spirit pythons, this …"
Iron Armor's eyes emitted a faint golden light as he looked straight at Fang Chen.
After a long while, Iron Armor sighed.
"Truly, the new generation excels the old."
When capturing 40,000 spirit pythons, Fang Chen clearly felt the pressure.
His speed began to decrease sharply, but even so, he was still able to capture spirit pythons.
Spirit pythons were captured by Fang Chen one after another.
Rumble!
In the depths of the spirit river, Fang Chen's large hand reached out, and the aura around him fluctuated.
Wild Sword Qi spread out in an instant. The big hand flipped and suddenly grabbed a Spirit Python that was swimming in the distance.
The spirit python screamed crazily, but was unable to break free from Fang Chen's palm.
"Hu …"
After capturing this spirit python, Fang Chen heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a brilliant smile.
Because he knew that he had broken the record of a Heavenly Body Tier martial artist — 41,000 spirit pythons.
"Continue."
Continuing to bury his head in capturing, Iron Armor above the spirit river already didn't know what to say.
Forty-one thousand, forty-two thousand, forty-three thousand, forty-four thousand.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen captured 47,000 spirit pythons.
At this time, Fang Chen really felt the pressure.
His perfect Sword Physique shone brightly, and he even took out the Hidden Star Sword.
Moreover, he even used the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique.
Now, he had already used his full strength.
Every time he captured a spirit python, it was very strenuous.
However, Fang Chen didn't want to give up.
"Continue."
Weng!
The second layer of the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique was used, attacking the spirit python's head. Following that, he used the Thunder Fall Sword Technique to attack the spirit python's body.
Under the double attack, the spirit python's power was also greatly weakened.
Immediately, Fang Chen set up the Chaos Element Killing Formation to encircle and annihilate the spirit pythons.
One had to know that setting up the Chaos Element Killing Formation in the spirit river was very restrictive.
However, Fang Chen still did it.
In this way, Fang Chen captured another 990 spirit pythons.
He only needed ten more spirit pythons to break the record.
At this time, Fang Chen was already exhausted and couldn't move.
Dong Dong Dong
The golden heart beat rapidly, and a clear stream spread throughout his body, relieving his fatigue.
Huff Huff
Fang Chen gasped for breath, and his forehead was full of sweat.
"I can't give up."
He only needed ten more spirit pythons to reach the limit.
Roar!
Fang Chen shouted in a low voice and continued to capture spirit pythons.
However, just as he was about to capture the Spiritual Python, the Hidden Star Sword suddenly emitted a resplendent light.
Immediately, Fang Chen's heart trembled.
The Thunder Fall Sword Technique had finally reached the Transformation Realm.
"Haha!"
Fang Chen laughed. At the critical moment, the Thunder Fall Sword Technique had reached the Transformation Realm, and its power had increased a lot.
The pressure on his body suddenly weakened a lot.
The Hidden Star Sword was constantly waved, and the bright lightning sword light instantly fell.
The spirit python couldn't avoid it and was caught by Fang Chen.
One, two, three.
When he caught 47,995 strands of light, the pressure suddenly increased.
Even the Thunder Fall Sword Technique at the Transformation Realm couldn't help Fang Chen capture spirit pythons.
In the sky above the spirit river, Iron Armor had been watching this scene.
"Can he reach the limit?"
He had already broken the record, and now he only needed five more spirit pythons to reach the limit.
Boom!
Under Iron Armor's gaze, Fang Chen didn't give up and continued to capture spirit pythons.
However, under that powerful pressure, Fang Chen's cultivation broke through.
When the conditions are right, success will come naturally.
His cultivation reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Body Tier.
Weng!
Fang Chen's body experienced a qualitative leap.
In the next moment, Fang Chen's body emitted a bright golden light.
Under Iron Armor's gaze, Fang Chen soared into the sky and rushed out of the spirit river.
He held five spirit pythons in his hand.
Seeing this, Iron Armor revealed a wild smile.
"Brother Fang Chen, congratulations."
The lower the cultivation, the easier it was to break the record.
He was very clear that to reach the limit of the Heavenly Body Tier, one had to have heaven-defying potential.
However, Fang Chen did it.
Such an inconspicuous cultivator actually did it.
The problem was that his cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Body Tier, and he had just broken through.
"Genius, an absolute genius."
Over the endless years, Iron Armor had seen countless geniuses.
However, after meeting Fang Chen, he knew the true meaning of genius.
He concluded that in the years to come, Fang Chen would definitely become a giant.
He might even be on par with the master of the Star Ruins.
"Hu …"
Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
At the last moment, if his cultivation hadn't broken through, he really would have failed.
