Tendon Transformation

Tendon Transformation is the 3rd stage of cultivation. It is also called Muscle Rebirth.
==Summary==
At Tendon Transformation you infuse your spiritual qi into your tendons and muscles, greatly increasing its strength and resilience. Tendon Transformation was all about strengthening a person's tendons. Tendons were what linked the bones to the muscles. If you only had strong muscles but weak tendons, you would probably end up tearing yourself apart the instant you applied any force.
The first realm of cultivation was Qi Condensation, and the second was Blood Condensation. These two used qi to nourish the blood, using the blood to nourish the muscles such that their strength could reach the peak.
But if just the muscles were strong, that was useless. Muscles could only release as much strength as the tendons could bear.
Without tendons, powerful muscles were just dead muscles. And so Tendon Transformation was the third cultivation realm, a heavenly chasm that blocked people's cultivation paths. Tendon Transformation was an extremely important juncture for cultivators. Only through strengthening the tendons could you release the full potential of your muscles.
It's also at this stage where the spiritual qi starts truly melding with your body and nourishing your soul. As a result, if a Blood Condensation's combat level is ten plus ten, then a Tendon Transformation's combat level is ten times ten.

With the assistance of the Magical Beast essence blood, they had all smoothly advanced.
Furthermore, they found that once they had advanced, their physical strength had explosively grown at least ten times. Circulating their auras, they found there was not even the slightest bit of resistance, meaning they had reached the level of flawless advancement.
Once in the Tendon Transformation realm, once qi and blood superimposed, when your qi and physical power complimented each other, your strength would reach a hard to imagine level.
That was the terrifying aspect of the Tendon Transformation realm. There was also a saying in the cultivation world, ‘three levels a chasm'. The meaning was that in cultivation, whenever you ran into the third level, there would be a large heavenly chasm separating levels.
In terms of the minor realms, the third Heavenstage represented a large dividing line. From the initial to mid stages was a large gap that was difficult to leap across.
The sixth Heavenstage and ninth Heavenstage were multiples of three and also followed that reasoning. The difficulty at those levels jumped. But once you were past those levels, your combat strength would also increase greatly.
And so with multiples of three as the foundation, the early, mid and late stages were clear dividing marks that were difficult to cross.
And the Tendon Transformation realm would be the major realms' first third. First Qi Condensation, then Blood Condensation, and then finally the third was Tendon Transformation.
So the families of these genius disciples viewed this realm as incredibly important. They even sent their talented junior generation to the Xuantian Monastery despite the danger of them dying, all for this flawless advancement.
They were all geniuses who possessed at least bronze Spirit Roots. Adding on a flawless advancement, their foundations were now as steady as Mt Tai. Their combat strength would also be absolutely shocking.
That was also why these geniuses were able to easily kill the secular world's Tendon Transformation experts, but in front of their senior apprentice-brothers who were also Tendon Transformation experts, they were unable to even say a word.
The difference between the secular world and cultivation world's Tendon Transformation experts was so great that they were simply not on the same level. Now, these geniuses had also broken through to Tendon Transformation.
Although their auras had yet to stabilize since they had only just broken through, they were completely confident that even a hundred of the secular world's Tendon Transformation experts would be unable to harm them in the slightest. That was the confidence that came from a flawless advancement.Chapter 182
