Chapter 122 Peak Clash
"Indeed, no corner of the cultivation world should be underestimated."
The Jade Dragon Sect either has geniuses with body-refining techniques or has found the inheritance of an ancient body-refining method from 100,000 years ago.
no,
I need to go back and talk to my master about it, and make sure to seek guidance from the Jade Dragon Sect.
Just as the young monk's heart was churning...
Things have changed on Chen Yi's side as well.
The five-colored golden radiance, which had been in a defensive posture, suddenly reversed and began to actively devour the thunder spirit!
What shocked Linghui even more was that the bald man absorbed a higher proportion of thunder spirits than he, a person with innate wisdom, by 30%!
"How is that possible?!"
It should be noted that Monk Linghui had already entered the realm of purification long ago, and had mastered profound techniques far surpassing ordinary Vajra Kung Fu.
As early as the bone refining stage, he had already tempered his Vajra Bones, which surpassed ordinary golden bones. Their defensive strength was unparalleled among cultivators of the same level.
Even so, when he first attempted to absorb the power of the Thunder Spirit,
The violent lightning still made his whole body convulse, and his meridians felt as if they were being gnawed by thousands of ants.
The pain was so intense that even with his robust physique, he almost couldn't withstand it.
However, the big bald man in front of me
--hiss!
The monk Linghui gasped in shock!
Chen Yi remained unfazed as the lightning surged through his body.
The lightning power that would cause ordinary cultivators unbearable pain was applied to him as easily as a spring breeze.
It's almost as if... as if this body has long been accustomed to being tempered by lightning!
This is something that ordinary cultivators could not do.
Even he couldn't remain unaffected by a mid-grade third-tier lightning spirit entering his body!
The next moment, the young monk secretly cheated; a glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
He activated a Buddhist supernatural power: [Divine Eye].
Of course, in this life, his clairvoyance was only at a beginner level; he could barely see the trajectory of the golden energy flow within Chen Yi's body.
But that's enough.
"No, his internal organs also circulate the five elements, which can minimize the damage to the Thunder Spirit. Brilliant!"
The young monk only peeked once, and after understanding the principle, he stopped peeking.
Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect.
After taking that glance, he realized that he seemed to be entangled in a significant karmic consequence in the fog of the future.
Having only a superficial understanding of [Destiny Ability], he immediately sensed something was wrong.
The person before him possessed a complex destiny; he had only glanced at him, yet he would have to repay a great debt of karma in the future.
Otherwise, he might be in big trouble.
The young monk immediately withdrew his divine eye, the residual power of the great causal force in his sea of consciousness still trembling.
He took a deep breath, and his gaze toward Chen Yi was different now—this bald man in front of him was no ordinary cultivator!
Then, more than half of the next fifteen minutes passed.
Chen Yi finally emerged from seclusion.
What I saw was a young monk with a slightly surprised face and regular features.
at this time,
Chen Yi has already comprehended the method of Thunder Spirit Body Tempering and has begun to control the power of Thunder Spirit. Not only has his Golden Bone Thunder Pattern advanced to a higher level, but it has also gained many new Thunder Spirit Runes.
Even between the internal organs and diaphragms, faint traces of the Thunder Spirit symbol appeared.
Chen Yi had a feeling that, given time, when his bones and internal organs were completely covered with lightning runes, he might really be able to control lightning!
After Chen Yi came out, he saw the little monk who hadn't left yet, and thinking of what the other party had said earlier,
He nodded slightly and said the same thing:
"Sorry, I got so engrossed in my cultivation that I lost track of time. Little Master, you're still here?"
The little monk Linghui's pupils contracted slightly.
He could see it clearly—Xu Jiu had not only successfully comprehended the "Thunder Spirit Body Forging Technique," but had also integrated the power of thunder spirit into his physical body in such a short time!
Such talent is rare even in Zhongzhou.
"Benefactor Xu, is your body-refining technique derived from the Vajra Skill?"
This humble monk is truly curious: how did you perfectly integrate the power of the five elements into the golden crystal, strengthening its core energy without causing it to collapse?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi carefully examined Ling Hui.
Just now, inside the lightning shield, he noticed the elusive, high-energy golden crystal within the little monk's body.
With a thought, one can instantly appear anywhere, making their defense virtually impenetrable.
"Master Linghui, I'm also curious about the cultivation method of that high-energy golden crystal within you that can instantly appear anywhere."
A hint of surprise flashed in Linghui's eyes, then she smiled and said:
"It's merely the basic supernatural power of orthodox Vajra Kung Fu. If Benefactor Xu is interested, this humble monk is willing to exchange insights with you."
He paused, then said:
"However, this method has some barriers to entry."
One must first master the fusion technique of the golden crystal core, and then add at least sixty golden rays to initially condense the 'Diamond Upper Core'.
This core still needs to be infused with divine will and refined day and night until it becomes as easy to use as one's own arm.
At this point, Linghui's tone unconsciously carried a hint of pride:
"Don't underestimate this upper core."
It is the foundation for many supernatural powers after reaching the third level of Vajra Kung Fu.
Legend has it that cultivators at the late stage of the third tier of the Vajra Body can simultaneously control several upper cores, unleashing them with a mere thought, their power comparable to a mid-grade magic weapon!
"Is that so?"
A glint flashed in Chen Yi's eyes, and he immediately became interested.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"My method of integrating the five elements is also not easy to cultivate."
It requires the use of rare and precious objects of heaven and earth with fusion attributes, such as Azure Dragon Jade Marrow or Earth Spirit Mother, as a guide, while also finding body-refining techniques with the five elements attributes, to condense single-attribute energy similar to the golden radiance.
Then it needs to be shattered with high-intensity energy before being fused together.
He paused deliberately, his face serious:
"Any slight mishap in any step could trigger a violent explosion."
"If you're interested, young master, I can now teach you the key points of the fusion ratio and the distribution of the five elements. How about we exchange some cultivation techniques?"
What Chen Yi didn't explicitly say was that without the system's assistance, successfully fusing the power of the five elements would probably require experiencing hundreds or thousands of explosions.
However, judging from the strength of this young monk's body, he should be able to withstand this ordeal.
If he really wanted to train, he would at most suffer physical pain for several decades.
While this Five Elements Golden Radiance Fusion Method is powerful, the golden radiance is ultimately only a second-tier technique. Using this method to fuse third-tier Five Elements Golden Crystals is virtually impossible.
So, whether Chen Yi would make a huge profit by exchanging this method for the true secrets of the Vajra Skill is unknown, but he would definitely not lose out.
Upon hearing this, the young monk's eyes gleamed. The method Chen Yi described was remarkably similar to an ancient body-refining method from tens of thousands of years ago.
Even if he had lived several lifetimes, he would still be extremely eager to see it now.
At the same time, he was also filled with emotion, realizing that he had chosen to unleash the merits he had accumulated over several lifetimes in this one, and indeed, this life was full of opportunities, allowing him to encounter such top-tier geniuses as soon as he stepped out the door.
If he can't catch him, then he'll have lived in vain.
After thinking for a moment, the little monk said:
"Benefactor Xu, how about we lend a hand and exchange a few words?"
The young monk Linghui doubted the authenticity of Chen Yi's Five Elements Golden Radiance technique, worrying that it would leak the core inheritance of the Vajra Temple and result in him receiving a "fake" Five Elements Golden Radiance technique in return. He felt he had been cheated.
He wanted to assess Chen Yi's capabilities.
Golden light flowed around him, clearly indicating that he wanted to personally verify whether the Five Elements Golden Radiance Chen Yi had mentioned was truly as powerful as the legendary ancient technique.
"Alright."
Chen Yi had just nodded in agreement, but before he could fully straighten his hunched figure, the little monk suddenly launched an attack!
Linghui raised his right fist, and in an instant, like the rising sun, brilliant golden light illuminated the entire minefield.
Wherever that fist passed, the air was torn apart with fine golden cracks, as if even space itself was about to be shattered by that punch.
Chen Yi's pupils shrank sharply, his heart filled with horror: Is this the strength of the true successor of the Vajra Temple?
He spoke quickly:
"Wait a minute. You should already be at the third level of body refinement, right?"
My Five Elements Golden Radiance is only at the second tier; I don't possess any third-tier techniques.
The young monk smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I only used second-level bone refining techniques, which should be enough for you."
Chen Yi was immediately relieved. "Hmph, trying to take me seriously? If you're only at the second tier, then you'd better watch out."
"Hey, you're pretty confident with your big bald head."
Before the words were even finished, the fist, imbued with the power of the rising sun, was already upon them.
Chen Yi was then shocked to realize that although his opponent had suppressed his cultivation, the Vajra True Intent contained in that punch was extremely profound, giving Chen Yi the feeling that he had nowhere to dodge.
Chen Yi seemed to see the aura of a body cultivation master instructing a junior.
Chen Yi became serious and stopped holding back.
He jolted, his hunched body instantly straightening.
Although he didn't unleash the Five Elements Golden Radiance as a full-blown energy burst in this attack, he still utilized its energy level.
Five-colored light shone brightly from his right palm, and the power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth intertwined to form a wheel, forcing all the surrounding thunder spirits back three feet.
Since this young monk was a highly skilled successor of the orthodox Vajra Temple, Chen Yi's attack was extremely serious.
This palm strike unleashed almost all of his strength, aside from his jade bones and the three-colored golden crystal.
It's just a matter of unleashing the energy of Thunderfire Golden Crystal or the inherent power of Gold Radiance.
"That's interesting."
The clever little monk smiled slightly, and his eyes suddenly blazed with fighting spirit.
He suddenly clenched his right fist, and in an instant, his entire arm shone with a dazzling golden light, as if he were holding a small sun.
boom--
The fist pierced through the air, and terrifying energy ripples instantly swept across the entire mid-grade third-tier lightning field.
The violent lightning energy was shaken, and the lightning field several feet around it rippled.
The golden ball of light collided violently with the five-colored golden radiance, unleashing an energy storm far exceeding the third rank, even causing the surrounding thunder spirit runes to flicker uncertainly.
The young monk felt a sharp pain in his hand, followed by a tremendous force.
"Ta-da!"
Linghui felt an unimaginable force coming from the tip of her fist, and her entire arm felt numb.
He stumbled back three steps before regaining his balance, a look of shock appearing on his face for the first time.
"It really is the legendary fusion of the five elements and the golden radiance?!"
A storm raged within him. "With the spiritual energy of heaven and earth so depleted, how could he have mastered it at the second level?"
On the other side, Chen Yi was also greatly shocked.
The immense force of that attack almost made him lose his balance.
If it weren't for his strong foundation of flesh, bone, and skin, which allowed his physical strength to surpass that of other cultivators of the same level, he might have been defeated as well.
He took a deep breath and exclaimed sincerely:
"Little Master Linghui, you're really that amazing!"
Linghui was taken aback. "What are you talking about?"
"He only took three steps back and blocked my attack. The true Vajra Kung Fu is truly terrifying."
Chen Yi's expression turned solemn. Just as he had thought, this little monk was not to be underestimated.
Upon hearing this, Linghui was so angry that her teeth itched.
That bald guy's words are really infuriating!
His eyes flashed with golden light, and his bones emitted a clear humming sound.
"Be careful. This time, I'm using the Vajra Bone, which is a bone-refining realm that's half a level higher than the Golden Bone."
If you can't withstand the pressure, don't try to fight it off; just admit defeat.
The young monk began cultivating in his mother's womb in this lifetime, and although he is only in his early twenties, he already possesses extensive experience in mastering the Vajra Skill.
He had already perfected the Vajra Skill during the bone-refining stage.
The Vajra Bone was forged during his bone-refining period by fusing a third-tier gold crystal core, resulting in a bone strength that is 50% higher than that of the Golden Bone.
Although this is still the second stage of bone refining, strictly speaking, its power has already reached the level of the initial third stage.
The little monk's attack was slightly beyond the expected level.
As he spoke, the golden light on the young monk Linghui's bones suddenly receded, revealing half of his bones that shone like crystal.
The surface of the bones shimmered with a liquid-like golden light, as if the golden crystals had been completely integrated into the bone marrow.
As he unleashed his punch, his entire arm emitted a muffled boom, as if a massive mountain were pressing down upon him.
Even from three feet away, Chen Yi felt as if he were being locked on, as if Mount Tai was about to crush him.
He was deeply shaken; this young monk was definitely not normal, being more than twenty years younger than Chen Yi.
Even if the other party started cultivating at the age of three, at most, they would only have cultivated for ten more years than Chen Yi.
It's unbelievable that such strong Vajra Bones could be forged.
"We can't hold back anymore!"
Chen Yi's right fist suddenly emitted a blinding white light, and the energy within his jade bones erupted like a volcano.
Where the fist passed, the air was scorched and distorted into ripples.
The moment their fists collided was like two primordial beasts charging head-on—
"boom!!!"
The violent shockwave swept across the entire lightning field, and the third-tier lightning spirits were forcibly dispersed, creating a vacuum zone within several feet around them!
The cracks on the ground spread like a spider web, and even the stone tablet in the distance trembled slightly.
"The legendary jade bones?!"
Linghui stumbled back three steps before regaining her balance, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Isn't this the concept of the Five Elements combining to create jade bones from the ancient 'Willow Gold Body Refining Method'? You actually succeeded in refining it?"
His voice trembled, "Just how many body-refining techniques have you combined?"
He was truly stunned. He had been reborn and considered himself invincible at the second level, but he never expected that someone could actually be stronger than him at the same level of the Bone Refining Realm.
Chen Yi was equally shocked. He had only managed to get this far thanks to the system's assistance.
This young monk, through sheer talent, has managed to temper his Vajra Bones to such a level. The Vajra Temple's foundation is indeed unfathomable!
"Linghui, you are incredibly strong! You are the strongest opponent I've ever faced in my life!"
Chen Yi sincerely praised, and the white light flowing on the jade bone gradually subsided.
The playful expression on Linghui's face vanished completely, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
He slowly assumed a boxing stance, his bones humming with a metallic sound.
"I don't believe anyone in this era can reach this level during the bone-refining stage."
His eyes flashed with golden light. "Take another punch from me!"
After continuous overtime and writing at breakneck speed, the author finally fell ill. He experienced difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath; he was utterly exhausted. He nearly fainted as soon as he stepped outside today. There's no way he can keep pushing himself to write like that. Therefore, starting today, he will have to update 4 words per day for a while. If his health improves, he will resume updates of 6 to 7 words per day.
