20demayo Chapter 123 I'm still too weak, let's go practice some more.
Chapter 123 I'm still too weak, let's go practice some more.
Chapter 123 I'm still too weak, I'll go back and train some more.
This time, the young monk was prepared to go all out to find out the limits of this mysterious opponent!
Chen Yi's pupils constricted sharply, a storm raging in his heart: "Again? You haven't even used your full strength at the Bone Refining Realm yet?"
Chen Yi panicked for a moment. He had almost exhausted all his resources, except for unleashing the Five Elements Golden Radiance, Thunderfire Golden Crystal, and Three-Colored Golden Crystal energy.
He hadn't gone all out like this in many years, and the other party still wanted to fight?
Linghui felt humiliated; in the Vajra Temple, no one had ever been able to withstand more than two punches from him.
Today, I came to this remote border town of Qi and encountered a nominal disciple of an unknown sect, and I actually suffered a loss.
Suddenly, his right arm shone with a dazzling golden light, and a golden crystal as brilliant as the sun burst forth from his body.
The crystal was no bigger than a thumbnail, yet it contained a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation—it had reached the level of the early stage of the third rank, and was by no means the level of someone who had just entered the third rank!
The young monk even offered an explanation.
"These are thirty strands of golden crystal cores, which I condensed during my bone refining period. It's not beyond the scope of the training."
Chen Yi wanted to curse. You were able to condense a gold crystal core that was more than three times the size of a Vajra Crystal when you were at the second stage of Bone Refining. Isn't that considered exceeding the limit?
Forced into a corner, Chen Yi, with a heavy heart, conjured up a true five-colored golden radiance.
A five-colored, rotating golden light, about the size of a fingernail, emerged from his bone cavity and floated on the surface of his fist.
With a roar, the terrifying energy containing the principles of mutual generation and destruction of the five elements exploded!
"BOOM!!!"
The extreme strength and yang energy of the golden crystal core, combined with the endless cycle of the five elements, unleashed a terrifying power far exceeding that of the early stage of the third rank.
The violent shockwave struck the edge of the Thunder Pool, which was several dozen feet away, causing the Thunder Spirit Power in the Thunder Pool to ripple and spew out several waves!
If any one of the nine greatest prodigies of the Qi Kingdom were here, they would be utterly astonished.
Such an attack would be unbearable for any of the nine top geniuses, even without using any special treasures; they could not withstand it on their own.
And this was just a friendly sparring match between the two, using only their second-stage Bone Refining techniques.
After exchanging punches, the two men each took a step back.
This time,
The two were evenly matched.
"You still couldn't beat this? The Jade Dragon Sect's nominal disciple is too strong!"
The little monk was utterly astonished.
This time, his move was actually somewhat beyond his capabilities. Although the golden crystal core was something he had condensed during his second-stage bone refining,
But at that time, given his physical strength, especially his golden bones, if he were to unleash that golden crystal core, he would inevitably suffer severe injuries.
Now they're taking advantage of the fact that their bodies have already achieved the Great Perfection of Vajra Bone and advanced to the third level of Refining.
However, even so, he only managed a draw with the bald man in front of him.
He was filled with emotion; if it weren't for that glance from the [Heavenly Eye] at Chen Yi earlier...
He had come to believe that Chen Yi was some kind of possessed old monster.
Chen Yi was also extremely shocked.
"How can you be so strong? I was almost going to lose."
His mind raced, he had thought that this time he had become invincible at the second level in terms of body tempering and defense.
Unexpectedly, he directly encountered someone who could directly counter eighty percent of his strength with a single blow.
Immediately, Chen Yi felt a desire to leave.
No, I need to go back and practice some more. It's too risky to go out and have fun right now!
First it was that witch, now it's this little monk. These geniuses of the cultivation world are all abnormally strong!
A new goal arose in Chen Yi's mind: he would never leave seclusion until he could kill this little monk with a single blow!
however,
Just as the two were still reveling in the afterglow of their previous exchange, a sudden change occurred—
"Boom!"
The entire lightning field suddenly trembled violently, and the lightning spirit power that had been scattered by the shockwave surged back like a tidal wave.
Even more terrifying is that these lightning spirits merged together during the riot, their power increasing steadily, reaching the terrifying strength of a third-tier high-grade level in the blink of an eye!
Both of them changed color.
"not good!"
Linghui reacted extremely quickly, and two dazzling golden lights instantly shone around her.
Two golden crystals, like guardian deities, surrounded him.
The two rotate at high speeds, complementing each other.
It seemed as if a phantom image of an "indestructible Vajra Dharma Image" was formed outside the body!
The Dharma image was solemn and imposing, its entire body radiating an immortal golden light, which shattered the incoming lightning spirits.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yi's gaze sharpened slightly, and he was inwardly amazed.
The little monk didn't even use his trump card, the Golden Crystal Core.
And what's more, he even had two!
Furthermore, he had refined these two golden crystal cores to their ultimate level, and they could even work together to form a separate defensive dharma form!
This is almost equivalent to two magic weapon-level items.
If he were to fight, even a cultivator at the mid-stage of the True Core realm would likely perish if he got close and was relentlessly bombarded by the two golden crystal cores.
It's important to understand that this golden crystal core is different from magical artifacts; it is not subject to the control or restriction of divine sense or magical power.
This thing has been nurtured for many years and has long since become one with the body cultivator.
The only limitation is that, unlike a mage's spells or magical artifacts, this object cannot stray too far from the body.
Compared to Core Formation cultivators, who can cast spells with a range exceeding hundreds of feet and kill people from miles away with flying swords,
The attack range of this gold crystal core is estimated to be within a hundred feet.
In comparison, it did not escape the "close-range" attack range of body cultivators.
Of course, even so, it was enough to make Chen Yi envious.
In terms of defensive capabilities alone, Chen Yi is far inferior to the little monk in front of him without using the system!
At this moment, the thought of "going back and practicing some more" rose in Chen Yi's mind once again!
"I've not even mastered my skills yet, and I'm already out here causing trouble. I deserve to die!"
Chen Yi felt guilty.
When the young monk used his trump card to easily block the sudden attack of the third-tier high-grade lightning field,
When he looked at Chen Yi, his mouth also gaped open.
Suddenly, no less than thirty dazzling five-colored golden rays shone from Chen Yi's body!
The golden light swirled and rotated like stars, each containing the profound Daoist principles of the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements.
Although a single five-colored golden radiance could not completely withstand a third-tier lightning spirit, Chen Yi cleverly connected the three golden radiances into a line.
Or perhaps the five golden rays formed a small array, which actually blocked the earth-shattering lightning spirit attack from being completely blocked!
The little monk muttered to himself, "If I really had to fight the bald man in front of me to the death..."
Although his two golden crystal cores were powerful, his opponent was also a third-tier body cultivator who had refined jade bones; he couldn't kill him instantly.
If the opponent were to detonate all of these dozens of five-colored golden lights, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
At this point, he finally put away his arrogance.
Although he was a reincarnated cultivator, it cannot be denied that there are still true geniuses in this world!
This man is someone you should befriend; you must never be his enemy!
What the young monk didn't know was that Chen Yi only tried his best to resist the attack of the third-tier high-grade lightning spirit in front of the other party.
If there is no one below,
He will most likely unleash several lightning spirit attacks into his body to test the effects of his new Lightning Spirit Body Tempering Technique.
Firstly, he possesses Golden Bone Thunder Patterns. After being struck by lightning for many years, his resistance to lightning spirit power far surpasses that of ordinary body cultivators of the same level.
Secondly, if he really can't hold out, he still has the Magnetic Lightning Array Circle, which can also withstand the attack of a third-tier high-grade lightning field for several breaths.
Thirdly, if all else fails, he can rely on the system. He can use the system's power to devour the lightning spiritual power that his body cannot digest, and then transform it into lightning spiritual energy to refine his body.
Of course, Chen Yi still held back a few tricks in front of the young monk.
Neither in the previous exchange nor in resisting the lightning field at this moment had they used their strongest three-color, third-tier gold crystals.
This crystal, which combines the attributes of metal, fire, and wood, far surpasses the Five-Colored Golden Radiance in terms of pure explosive power, making it arguably his strongest killing move to date.
However, in terms of defensive capabilities, it is similar to the Five-Colored Golden Radiance, so Chen Yi did not use it.
"boom--"
As the last wave of lightning tide receded, the two of them retreated to the entrance area of the second floor of the Inheritance Hall without prior arrangement.
The intensity of the minefield here has dropped sharply to the initial third level, posing no threat to them.
However, the minefield in the middle seemed to be "enraged" by the aftershocks of their attack, becoming extremely violent.
Any living being that tries to approach it will unleash an energy attack that is one level higher than before.
Simply put,
Under the "sparring" between the two, the berserk energy of the Thunder Spirit in this third-tier lightning field was upgraded.
The two stood at the entrance, hunching their shoulders and watching everything unfold.
They exchanged a glance, both revealing guilty expressions.
It seems I've caused a minor mishap.
Yes, it seems even more difficult for those who come later to find opportunities.
"cough-"
Linghui coughed lightly, pretending that she hadn't done anything.
He then looked at Chen Yi.
His eyes gleamed with curiosity:
"Master Xu's technique of rotating the Five Elements Golden Radiance into an array just now has truly broadened my horizons."
"Same to you."
Chen Yi feigned exhaustion and took a breath. "Master Linghui's golden crystal core is almost condensed into a Dharma form. If I'm not mistaken, Master Linghui is going to pursue the path of indestructibility?"
After a brief silence, the two looked at each other and smiled.
One wanted to explore the mysteries of the Five Elements' golden radiance, while the other desired the true teachings of the Golden Crystal Core; at this moment, they hit it off immediately.
"How about we exchange some cultivation insights?"
Linghui broke the silence first, her fingertips gleaming with golden light.
Chen Yi nodded in understanding, five-colored light flowing between his palms: "That's exactly what I meant."
Two figures sat facing each other in the lightning-streaked inheritance hall, each making hand seals and chanting incantations, inscribing their family's secret techniques on jade slips, preparing to exchange ideas.
A short while later.
Chen Yi closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully studying what the other party was teaching him. The more he read, the more shocked he became—this was actually the secret method of the Vajra Temple to fuse multiple golden rays!
It not only contains the key to condensing the golden crystal core, but also the complete cultivation method of the Vajra Marrow!
"Little Master Linghui, is this a closely guarded secret of the Vajra Temple? Would it really be alright to pass it on to me?"
Chen Yi opened his eyes, his tone somewhat solemn.
Linghui was also pondering the techniques Chen Yi had taught her, and upon hearing this, she replied:
"There are indeed some minor troubles at the moment."
However, if you wish to achieve success in your cultivation, it will take at least twenty or thirty years. At that time…
His eyes gleamed with confidence, and his tone was resolute: "I doubt anyone from Kongo Temple will come to hold us accountable."
Thirty years later, will no one hold anyone accountable?
Chen Yi seemed to be deep in thought.
"And what about you?" Linghui countered, "Will any powerful figures from the Jade Dragon Sect come looking for trouble with this Five Elements Fusion Method?"
You can cultivate with peace of mind.
Chen Yi wanted to confidently assure him that no one would bother him, because this technique had absolutely nothing to do with the Jade Dragon Sect; it was his own original creation.
But then I thought, it's better to play it safe for now.
If this technique were to cause a major stir in the future, it might attract the covetous eyes of others, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to claim it as the hidden, unparalleled true teaching of the Jade Dragon Sect.
"Ahem, young master, you shouldn't be too high-profile. The Jade Dragon Sect has a reclusive master whose cultivation level is unfathomable."
I obtained this method by chance. Although that terrifying predecessor did not forbid me from passing it on,
However, I must inform the other party before I transmit the Dharma.
Young master, it's best if you only practice this method yourself and don't reveal it to others for the time being.
Unless one day your Vajra Skill truly reaches the point of physical indestructibility..."
hiss--
The monk Linghui gasped in shock upon hearing this.
The Jade Dragon Sect actually has such a reclusive master.
In his previous life, he had heard of a janitor who swept the floors in a small sect.
In reality, he was an extremely powerful being who came here to experience the trials of the mortal world and refine his mind; he could wipe out half of the cultivation world with a wave of his hand.
Could it be that the Jade Dragon Sect is hiding such a person?
In the future, we should be more polite to the cultivators of the Jade Dragon Sect, and avoid getting involved in any karmic entanglements if possible.
His expression was extremely serious. "Don't worry, Benefactor Xu, this humble monk will keep this matter to himself and will certainly not cause you any trouble."
After a brief exchange with the young monk, Chen Yi pretended to be exhausted and chose to leave.
In reality, with his current strength, he was fully capable of entering the third-tier high-grade lightning field area, but considering that there were outsiders present, he deliberately held back his strength, only showing that he had reached his limit.
After Chen Yi's figure disappeared, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in the eyes of the little monk Linghui.
His body shone with golden light, and the Vajra power of Buddhism flowed around his body. He withstood the violent bombardment of the lightning spirits and slowly moved towards the third-tier high-grade lightning field.
With each step he took, blinding lightning bolts exploded on his body, causing his muscles to twitch and his monk's robes to turn black.
But he gritted his teeth, his golden crystal core surging wildly within him, and managed to hold on until he reached the vicinity of the third level entrance.
"There's still some energy left." Linghui thought to herself, sensing the remaining golden crystal power within her body.
He had intended to make it to the third level in one go, but after thinking it over, he decided to retreat for the time being—after all, he had already gained a lot today, and there was no need to take risks when he was not in good condition.
Leaving the secret realm,
After returning to the secret underground room of his private kitchen, Chen Yi began to sort out his gains.
The specially made magnetic lightning necklace was now filled with the power of the lightning pool, and the surging lightning spirit flowed within the crystal. If it were used solely to temper the soul, it would be enough to sustain one for several months.
However, if one simultaneously cultivates the Vajra Skill and the Thunder Spirit Body Forging Technique, the rate of energy consumption will increase significantly.
Chen Yi carefully comprehended the mysteries of the two techniques.
The Thunder Spirit Body Forging Technique and the Vajra Skill do not conflict.
Instead, they complement each other—the former, on the basic level of body refinement, inscribes a layer of profound lightning patterns on the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs.
These lightning patterns not only allow for the manipulation of lightning power, but also significantly enhance physical strength and explosive power.
It was a technique I found to enhance the lightning attributes of my physical body while practicing the Vajra Skill.
"This is just the beginning."
Chen Yi sensed the faint lightning patterns within his body and understood.
This "Thunder Spirit Body Forging Technique" is probably the same as the "Five Elements Divine Transformation Technique" I cultivated before, both being foundational parts of some ancient inheritance.
If one can cultivate it to its fullest potential, one might be able to touch upon an even more powerful path of thunder.
At that time, he will be able to handle both the Golden Core tribulation at the Core Formation stage and the Lightning Tribulation at the Nascent Soul stage with ease.
