I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

He silently complained to himself.

Shen Zhong said, "My master had the strength to break through to the Vajra Body Refinement Realm seven years ago, but he never broke through and remained at the Grandmaster level of Body Refinement, honing his skills and accumulating profound knowledge. Now, with the Heavenly Yin Grass and Heavenly Wind Water Pearl given to him by Mr. Jiang, his cultivation has naturally improved by leaps and bounds. This can be considered a great breakthrough after years of hard work."

"People in spiritual practice emphasize accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it. Why is your master learning this bad habit?"

Jiang He chuckled and said, "If your master had broken through to the Vajra Body Refinement Realm seven years ago, he might already be far ahead in the Mountain and Sea Body Refinement Realm."

As they were talking, they suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the door.

Xiahou Wu, dressed in a black training uniform, twirled two stone beads in his hand as he stepped into the courtyard. His steps were somewhat heavy, and the flow of his internal energy produced a rushing sound, clearly indicating that he had just broken through and could not yet perfectly control his own power.

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"

Shen Zhong spoke, his face beaming with joy.

He was genuinely happy for his master.

Jiang He also spoke up, congratulating, "Congratulations, Senior Xiahou... From now on, you will be the second Body Refinement Mountain and Sea Realm expert in our Great Xia!"

Xiahou Wu: "..."

His good mood suddenly turned somewhat depressed.

Looking at the river, Xiahou Wu forced a smile and said, "I also benefited from your help. I went to the Trial Tower and obtained the rudimentary form of the Law of Power, which gave me a new understanding of body refinement, allowing me to quickly enter the Body Refinement Mountain and Sea Realm."

"correct."

"What level have you reached in your cultivation? I find myself unable to see through you anymore."

Jiang He sighed and said, "Like you, I'm still at the Body Refinement Mountain and Sea Realm... I don't even know how to break through next. I can only take it one step at a time, continue to accumulate the basic strength of my physical body, and hope that one day the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, and I can step into a brand new Body Refinement Realm in one fell swoop."

Xiahou Wu was unaware of Jiang He's current strength.

Moreover, he had been in seclusion cultivating these days and was unaware of Jiang He's deeds after returning to the Great Xia.

Just as Jianghe had finally encountered a "bottleneck", he comforted him with a smile in the tone of an elder: "The path of our body cultivation is inherently difficult. Temporary obstacles are nothing. After you get over this mountain, you will definitely see a more beautiful view."

"Senior Xiahou is right!"

Jiang He clenched his fist, cheering himself on, and said, "I believe that as long as I persevere and cultivate diligently, I will definitely be able to break through the limits of the Body Refinement Mountain and Sea Realm."

The limit of the Body Refinement Mountain and Sea Realm...

and many more!

Something seems wrong!
Just as Xiahou Wu was about to speak, Jiang He said again, "Senior, I came here today mainly to ask you about the cultivation method of the sixth level of the Great Sage Fist. However, since you have just broken through and need to stabilize your realm, I will come again in a few days... I won't bother you any longer."

"can."

Xiahou Wu said, "Shen Zhong, help me escort Jiang He."

After leaving Xiahou Wu's house, Jiang He arrived at the military camp.

Inside dormitory 207 of the recruit camp.

Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Mazi, Wei Jian, and Chen Yu were all present.

When Jiang He returned, Chen Yu was applying medicine to Wei Jian's buttocks, who was lying on the bed. Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi had also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Only after inquiring did I learn...

It turned out that when the five of them went out on a mission, they encountered a powerful demonic beast at the peak of the Celestial Realm and were injured by it.

"Task?"

Forehead!
Jiang He slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot that we have to complete a team task and an individual task every month... I didn't do them last month, can I make up for it?"

Chen Yu glanced back at Jiang He and said quietly, "What are you doing?"

"Do the task?"

What mission are you on?

Snapped!
He slapped Wei Jian on the buttocks and said, "Alright, the medicine is applied."

Then he turned to look at Jiang He again and said, "Brother, your mission has already been waived, okay... With your current strength, there are only five people in our Great Xia who can easily suppress you, so why do you still need to do missions?"

"Is that so?"

Jiang He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's not a good idea... We're all new recruits, how can I be treated differently?"

He said this.

But I felt really good inside.

Instead of having to do random tasks, I can have a lot more time to cultivate.

In the days that followed, Jiang He lived a very fulfilling life, strictly adhering to the schedule for his "physical ascension to sainthood" plan.

Daily practice of basic attributes, swordsmanship, and the Great Sage Fist.

When thirsty, drink "Tianfeng Water Drops".

He even specially developed a "cold-dressed Tianyin grass" dish, which he would mix into a small dish every time he ate.

Every night after midnight, Jiang He would leave Tianmen Pass to go to Kunlun Ruins to talk to the "monsters".

Seven days in a row.

Jiang He's physical strength is constantly improving, especially with the large amount of "Heavenly Shade Grass" and "Heavenly Wind Water Pearls," which bring him an increase of more than 200 units of basic physical strength every day.

In addition, while going out to talk to "monsters" every day, he accidentally "accidentally" killed a few powerful monsters...

At this moment, the value after the [Strength] column in the system attribute panel has reached "16000 Dragon Power".

"My physical strength has been continuously increasing..."

"With my current strength, even without any buffs, I could kill a peak Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator with a single punch, right?"

"So am I still at the Body Refinement Mountain and Sea Realm now?"

2025 1 Month 16 Day.

After having breakfast and taking his medicine, Jiang He took out the "Heavenly Wind Water Pearl," drank a few mouthfuls, and left the military camp, arriving at Xiahou Wu's house.

Compared to seven days ago, Xiahou Wu's aura has become much more subdued.

If not stimulated.

It's even difficult to sense the level of his vital energy.

At this moment, Xiahou Wu felt the same way when he looked at the rivers and lakes.

He couldn't sense how powerful Jiang He's qi and blood were at all; he only vaguely felt that... Jiang He's body was like a huge furnace, burning fiercely and radiating extremely hot power.

"This kid's strength is now far beyond mine."

He sighed inwardly.

Xiahou Wu wanted to ask Jiang He about his current cultivation level, but out of respect for his "elder" status, he was a little embarrassed to ask. He could only answer Jiang He's question by saying, "After I created the eighth level of the Great Sage Fist, I gained a completely new understanding of the Great Sage Fist."

"The Great Sage Fist originally only had the first seven levels."

"I obtained it by chance."

"and many more!"

Jiang He was taken aback: "Senior, didn't you say that you created the Great Sage Fist Master yourself?"

Xiahou Wu blushed and said, "Anyway, no one else knows, so it's not illegal to brag a little... Back then, after I obtained the Great Sage Fist, I cultivated the method of condensing qi and blood within it, which allowed me to enter the realm of Body Refinement Master and make a great name for myself."

He recounted the origin of the "Great Sage Fist" in detail.

It turns out that he obtained the Great Sage Fist by chance in the "cave dwelling" of an ancient powerful being.

That ancient powerhouse did not leave behind his name.

He is an extremely powerful body cultivator.

What they sought was physical sanctification.

Unfortunately, before he could reach that point, the flames of war in the Kunlun Realm began to spread. So he left behind his legacy and an incomplete "Great Sage Fist" before heading to the Kunlun Realm.

The "body refining method" that Xiahou Wu practiced was left behind by that person.

Jiang He had been wondering about this before.

The Great Sage Fist, a profound combat technique that can unleash 10 times the combat power, would definitely be considered "top-tier" even in the myriad realms. How could Xiahou Wu, who was only a "body refinement master" at the time, have created it?
However, that person only created the seventh level of the Great Sage Fist.

It's already quite impressive that Xiahou Wu was able to deduce the eighth level from this foundation.

After creating the eighth level of the Great Sage Fist, Xiahou Wu gained a different understanding of the previous levels. He said, "The Great Sage Fist is not a fist technique, but a power generation technique, a combat method!"

"Based on the physical body and vital energy, several layers of hidden force are superimposed to enhance the power of various weapons such as fist techniques, knife techniques, body techniques, sword techniques, spear techniques, and staff techniques."

"But what if we also integrate the rudimentary form of the Law of Power into the Great Sage Fist?"

"I've tried."

"By incorporating the laws of force, it becomes easier to accumulate hidden strength."

"Oh?"

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Integrate...into the Law of Power?"

He clenched his fist and punched the void.

Not much effort.

The impact still caused a loud bang in the air, and the invisible force slammed into the wall of Xiahou Wu's courtyard, causing the wall to tremble. "Sorry, sorry."

Jiang He quickly said, "Senior Xiahou, I'm so sorry, I almost knocked down your courtyard wall."

Xiahou Wu chuckled and said, "It hasn't collapsed, has it?"

"Go ahead and try your punches without worry... Tianmen Pass is a holy city, and these courtyards are covered by ordinary array formations and restrictions. Even a full-force attack from a peak Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator might not be able to destroy them."

Jiang He threw another punch.

He still didn't use too much power.

His punch was a combination of six layers of hidden force; when the punch was thrown, the sound of six almost overlapping fist winds could be faintly heard.

Xiahou Wu frowned and scolded, "Is this boxing?"

"So weak and limp, you're not even as good as a woman... Didn't you eat?"

"Give it your all!"

"Try to incorporate the laws of force into your fist techniques... Again!"

All-out effort?

Jiang He clenched his fists tightly, causing the air to explode and his bones to crack. Even the airflow in the courtyard became turbulent, creating a hurricane.

"I was reluctant to use my full strength in front of you, senior... I was afraid that you would be discouraged and your martial spirit would be damaged."

"But I have no choice but to comply with the senior's request."

Click click click.

His body began to grow taller and taller.

A vast and ferocious power erupted from within him!

Three heads and six arms!
The Law of Force, activate!
The Demonic Disintegration Technique is activated!
boom!
A terrifying power emanated from Jiang He's body. The power generated by the surging and igniting of his blood and qi swept in all directions, causing Xiahou Wu to stagger back more than ten steps before finally stopping.

The power of the three-headed, six-armed form is doubled.

1.2 times the amplitude of the Law of Force.

With the addition of the 1.5x amplitude of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, the triple buffs stacked and exploded instantly, causing Jiang He's 16000 dragons' physical base strength to surge to nearly 18 dragon power!

Xiahou Wu's eyes widened suddenly.

His clothes fluttered loudly in the force of the river's roar.

Then I saw...

Jiang He bent his knees slightly and assumed a horse stance.

All six arms swung in unison, all six fists clenched, and they all blasted forward!

The sixth level of the Great Sage Fist!

Seven times the combat power!
Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
Six consecutive sonic booms, like thunderclaps from a clear sky, suddenly erupted from Xiahou Wu's courtyard. The courtyard wall, which was strong enough to withstand the full force of a peak Fish-Dragon Realm expert, was blown apart, and bricks and stones flew in all directions, creating a huge commotion!
brush!
Wang Wu appeared outside the courtyard almost instantly.

The first demigod after the Great Xia's apocalypse was now completely stunned, staring at the ten-meter-tall figure with three heads and six arms, his eyes almost popping out of his head.

Immediately afterwards, another group of figures flew over quickly.

It was Xiahou Wu's neighbors and those Celestial Realm experts from Tianmen Pass who were either nearby or powerful enough to fly fast... In short, when they saw Jiang He's "three heads and six arms" form and the courtyard wall of Xiahou Wu's house that had been blasted away, they were all stunned.

"Ah this..."

Jiang He quickly regained his composure: "Senior Xiahou... you're the one who told me to go all out, I won't pay for the damage to the wall."

He then looked at everyone, both amused and exasperated, and said, "Seniors, I'm really sorry... I was just practicing the Great Saint Fist, I didn't expect it to cause such a commotion and disturb your cultivation. I apologize to you all."

Many prominent figures in the major base cities of the Great Xia Dynasty, and even experts who had been famous throughout the Great Xia Dynasty for many years, hurriedly spoke up.

Some said they would "not disturb" the other party.

Some congratulated Jianghe on his great progress in cultivation.

"Hahahahaha!"

Sudden.

A burst of laughter followed.

It was Liu Feng.

His mouth was practically crooked from smiling. He took a few steps forward and landed beside Jiang He, saying, "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and a new generation surpasses the old... The ancients were truly right."

"With my nephew's strength, in our Great Xia today, apart from Minister Qin, Senior Wang Wu, and Senior Gao, who dares to say they can definitely defeat him?"

Chen Jingzhou landed and said, "Liu Feng, stop bragging!"

There was a pause.

He added, "Keep a low profile!"

Liu Feng: "..."

"Yeah!"

"Keep a low profile... hahahaha."

this matter.

For Jiang He, it was just a small episode on his path of cultivation. After exchanging pleasantries with many experts from the Great Xia Dynasty, Jiang He returned to the military camp.

In the dormitory.

Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Mazi, Chen Yu, and Wei Jian have disappeared without a trace.

The little white tiger and the old yellow ox are not there either.

They left Tianmen Pass three days ago, saying they were going to find a mountain to establish themselves as kings and carve out a territory for the Golden Roc Demon King.

Jiang He stayed alone in the dormitory.

Improve attributes.

He practiced swordsmanship and saber techniques, and became familiar with the sixth level of the Great Sage Fist.

Three days later.

Jiang He finally mastered the sixth level of the Great Sage Fist, and could unleash it from any part of his body at will, or integrate it into his weapon.

Moreover, his understanding of sword intent has become increasingly profound.

The third move of the Nine Sword Techniques of the Eastern Great Emperor, "Sword Three," has been mastered.

This greatly frustrated the spirit of the World-Slaying Blade.

Every time Jiang He practices his swordsmanship, he jumps out to give him pointers, but Jiang He has yet to cultivate sword intent.

2025 1 Month 20 Day.

Morning run.

breakfast.

Take medicine.

Then Jiang He began practicing his swordsmanship at the dormitory entrance.

The Zankai-tō (World-Slaying Blade) lay stuck in the ground, its spirit hovering above the hilt. Though a spirit, veins bulged on its forehead, and its face was ashen, as if it had eaten shit. It gritted its teeth and said, "Master, you son of a bitch..."

"Ok?"

Jiang He sheathed his sword and turned back to look at the river coldly.

The sword spirit quickly changed its tone, speaking in a gentle and pleasant manner: "Master, what I meant was that swordsmanship isn't practiced like this..."

Jiang He: "How else can we train? I feel great!"

"........."

What good does it do you to feel good?

If you had even one percent of the talent in swordsmanship as I do in the way of the blade, with my guidance, you would have already mastered the essence of the blade, wouldn't you?
of course.

Dao Ling would never dare to say such a thing.

Jiang He always thought there was no need to practice swordsmanship... You can just pick up a sword and slash around. As long as you have enough strength and speed, you can shatter any fancy thing with a single strike.

Dao Ling dared not dampen Jiang He's enthusiasm. He pondered for a moment and said, "Master, your current strength is practically invincible below the level of a half-saint. I think it's time for us to set off to find the treasure trove left behind by your cousin."

"Big cousin?"

Jiang He was taken aback: "What older cousin? Where did I get an older cousin?"

Blade Spirit: "That was my former master!"

"He is a great master of swordsmanship."

"I remember that his treasure trove contained twelve sword tablet diagrams... These diagrams are invaluable treasures to any swordsman. If you could obtain a sword tablet diagram, you would surely be able to easily cultivate sword intent. In the future, you could easily establish a sword sect based on the sword tablet diagrams."

Jiang He's eyes lit up.

The treasure vault hidden in the Kunlun Realm by the former owner of the World-Slaying Blade?
He had heard Dao Ling ramble on about this many times.

He wasn't particularly interested in the sword tablet diagram... but he had long coveted the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" from the Great Sage's Treasure Vault! (End of Chapter)
