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

"This……"

Liu Feng pondered for a moment, seemingly realizing that he lacked this kind of information in his "knowledge reserves," but given his personality, it would be difficult for him to admit to not knowing in front of a younger person.

So he said:

"When it comes to creating beast tides, the Heavenly Demon Sect is naturally the most experienced."

"The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect is a direct disciple of the Heavenly Saint Sect's Heavenly Saint Old Dog. He is said to be a member of the Heavenly Demon Clan and is most skilled in bewitching people and controlling beasts."

"He caused a lot of trouble in the Great Xia, and once stirred up more than a dozen beast tides."

Jiang He was speechless for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Uncle Liu, the Heavenly Demon Sect has been destroyed, and its leader is dead... I can't exactly go to that old dog Tian Sheng to learn the art of beast taming, can I?"

Liu Feng laughed and said, "The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect is dead, but our Great Xia still has his art of beast taming... For example, Old Chen's disciple Ding Zhaoyi, he has already reached the Venerable level in the Heavenly Demon Sect. He was a confidant promoted by that Heavenly Demon Sect leader, and he knows many of the Heavenly Demon Sect's secrets!"

Jiang He's eyes lit up, and he said, "In that case, I'll go to the Xixia base city to ask Senior Brother Ding for some advice after I get back."

The two continued on their journey.

They sped towards Xijiang Base City.

on the way.

Jianghe tried to fly on its own.

For a body-refining martial artist to fly, they must use "Qi and Blood Power" as their driving force. Jiang He can now release "Qi and Blood Power" externally, but his control over "Qi and Blood Power" is still lacking. He can use "Qi and Blood Power" to briefly stay airborne and gain leverage in mid-air.

It can be used for long-distance flights, but it's a bit lacking.

aside.

Liu Feng suppressed a laugh, but finally couldn't help but say, "When you body-refining martial artists fly, the characteristics are quite obvious... When propelled by the power of qi and blood, it's like a jet engine."

Jiang He: "..."

He imagined the scene in his mind...

Ok!

Indeed it is!
However, it will be fine once you cultivate to the "Diamond Realm".

Xiahou Wu said that once a body-refining martial artist cultivates to the "Diamond Realm," their physical body will transform to a new level, at which point they can use their physical strength alone to counteract the earth's gravity!
Jiang He thought this was ridiculous.

That's just so illogical.

However, Xiahou Wu used scientific knowledge to explain to him what "gravity" is and how it is formed. He also explained that after a body-refining martial artist cultivates to the "Diamond Realm," their [human magnetic field] will become even stronger, and they will be able to control things like [magnetic field power].

Jiang He didn't quite understand, but he thought it was incredibly awesome!
I don’t know how powerful it is!

Around 11 a.m.

We've arrived at Xijiang Base City.

Compared to Liu Feng, Xiahou Wu's "tribulation ceremony" was much more low-key.

His tribulation point was set up outside a ruined town nearly 200 kilometers away from Xijiang Base City. The town was relatively well preserved. When Jiang He arrived, he saw the road sign outside the town and learned that the town was called "Xishan Town".

Three or four kilometers outside the town, a huge open space has been cleared out. A temporary platform, a kilometer long and wide, has been erected on the open space, covered with red cloth and filled with tables and chairs.

The food and drinks were already on the table.

Liu Feng glanced at the sky and complained, "Only a few tables? The first Vajra Realm expert in Great Xia... this is beneath his dignity!"

Jiang He laughed and said, "Perhaps it's because the location here is rather remote, so they didn't invite the locals."

The common people did not come.

However, many experts from all sides arrived, and everyone was clearly very curious about the soon-to-be-born [First Vajra Realm Warrior of Great Xia], wanting to see if the tribulation of a pure body-refining martial artist would be the same as theirs.

As soon as Liu Feng landed with Jiang He—

"Hahahaha!"

"Crazy Liu!"

Xiahou Wu, dressed in a black combat uniform, strode up to Liu Feng, punched him on the shoulder, and said with a laugh, "Hey, what took you so long to get here?"

Liu Feng: "I just came back from Tianmen Pass. I went back to Wucheng."

Xiahou Wu then looked at Jiang He, his gaze shifting slightly, and exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens... you've reached the eighth level of Body Refinement?"

The river did not erupt at this moment.

However, Xiahou Wu could still feel his blood and energy, which were like a blazing furnace.

Jiang He humbly replied, "I've only just broken through to the eighth rank... It's nothing compared to Senior Xiahou."

Xiahou Wu invited the two to sit down.

Afterwards, he chatted with the guests for a while, and only when it was noon did he stand up and say with a smile, "Please continue drinking, everyone. I'm going to undergo a tribulation, and I'll be back soon."

He looked completely calm and collected.

Clearly, they have absolute confidence in surviving the heavenly tribulation.

then.

Looking at Jiang He, he asked with a smile, "Jiang He...would you like to come along and get some of the lightning tribulation to temper your body?"

"May I?"

Jiang He stood up and said, "My cultivation has been breaking through quite quickly recently, and I'm worried that it might trigger the Heavenly Tribulation and increase its power."

Xiahou Wu smiled faintly and said, "That's very good... A mere double lightning tribulation is no match for me."

He turned around.

It flew to a distance of three kilometers.

There is a small hill there.

There are still some dilapidated buildings on the mountain, quite large in scale. Someone at the dinner table mentioned that the small mountain is called "West Mountain," and there used to be a Taoist temple called "Wanshou Palace" on the mountain, which was quite famous.

However, after the spiritual energy revived, it turned into wasteland, with only ruins silently telling the story of its former glory.

brush!
Jiang He flashed and arrived at the foot of West Mountain.

There are also some broken steps here.

Jiang He chose a spot and stopped about three or four hundred meters away from Xiahou Wu. "Jiang He, get ready, I'm about to begin my tribulation!"

Boom!

Xiahou Wu's body erupted with surging blood and fist intent.

next moment……

A fierce wind arose, and rolling dark clouds quickly drifted in, covering the entire Western Mountain.

Dark clouds gathered, within which electric snakes crisscrossed.

A powerful divine might swept over, causing the expressions of the powerful figures who came to witness the ceremony to change. Liu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the tribulation power of body-refining martial artists is really stronger than ours?"

"This divine might... seems to be at least 60 to 70% stronger than when I was undergoing my tribulation!"

Luo Yuanzhou, the Water God of the Great Xia Dynasty, took a sip of wine and laughed, "No wonder there are so few physical cultivators in the world. Even races with naturally strong physiques, such as the Barbarians, Stone Clan, and Bone Clan, eventually turn to spiritual cultivation."

“Physical cultivation is inherently difficult, and it consumes several times, even ten or dozens of times, more resources than spiritual cultivation!”

"Heavenly tribulations are even stronger than those of ordinary martial artists... Not to mention that body-refining methods are extremely rare, even if they were common methods, I'm afraid very few people would be willing to refine their bodies."

Everyone present was a master.

Therefore, there's no need to hide information about "Tianmen Pass" and "alien races"... Moreover, Wang Wu has now become a half-saint, and the Great Xia has firmly established itself in the eastern region of Kunlun Realm. It's estimated that the existence of "Tianmen Pass" will definitely be made public later.

A group of powerful individuals were chatting.

Luo Yuanzhou looked at the river at the foot of Xishan Mountain in the distance and asked in confusion, "Xiahou Wu is undergoing his tribulation, what is that kid Jiang He doing there? Although he is not a ninth-rank, there is no need to worry about him making the tribulation more powerful... but what if he gets affected by the aftershocks of the tribulation?"

aside.

Liu Feng laughed and said, "Senior Luo, you may not know this, but Jiang He likes to use the power of lightning tribulation to temper his physical body. Xiahou Wu knows this and definitely wants Jiang He to benefit from his lightning tribulation."

"Oh?"

Luo Yuanzhou was even more surprised and said, "Using the power of lightning tribulation to temper the body? It seems that this kid's body tempering method is quite special. Was his body tempering method not passed down by Xiahou Wu?"

Body Refinement Technique?
I've never heard Jiang He mention that.

Liu Feng pondered for a moment before saying, "It shouldn't be. I only met Jiang He and Xiahou Wu when I was undergoing my tribulation. Perhaps he had some kind of opportunity on his own."

at this time……

Boom!

A muffled clap of thunder sounded, and everyone immediately stopped talking and looked up.

But then a thick bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, hurtling towards Xiahou Wu.

Xiahou Wu laughed heartily, neither dodging nor avoiding the lightning tribulation, but letting it fall...

Boom!

A bolt of purple lightning struck Xiahou Wu's head.

His laughing expression froze instantly, and a look of pain appeared on his face!
Oh shit!

Why does it hurt so much when lightning strikes you?

How did Jiang He manage to undergo "tempering by lightning"?

Although he only used the "aftershocks of the lightning tribulation" to temper his body, the power of those aftershocks was probably less than one percent, or even a fraction of a percent, of the power of the lightning tribulation itself...

But how strong was Jianghe back then?

He's not a body refinement master yet!
But he himself was a ninth-grade ultimate level body refinement grandmaster, possessing "marrow refined like frost, blood like mercury syrup, body cleansed and marrow purified, flesh immaculate," and most of his body had even "entered" the Vajra Realm, yet...

Did I almost fail to withstand the first lightning tribulation?
Xiahou Wu felt as if his head had been split open.

In particular, the explosive burning sensation caused by the scorching power of the lightning tribulation entering his internal organs made him feel like he was about to die!

Xiahou Wu instantly put on the "pain mask".

of course.

This expression went unnoticed by anyone.

The moment the purple lightning struck his head, his body was engulfed by the purple lightning, and after the purple lightning landed, it began to tilt in all directions.

The river was relatively close, so they immediately retrieved the "lightning-attracting device," which attracted six electric snakes.

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by lightning, strength increased by 1000kg."

"Ding!"

"Body tempered by lightning, strength increased by 1000kg."

"Ding!"

"........."

Six system notifications rang in succession in his mind, and Jiang He's body trembled slightly before...

I felt nothing else.

As his physical body continues to grow stronger, his resistance to "lightning tribulation" is now ridiculously high. The aftershocks of the lightning tribulation are nothing to him, let alone burn him to a crisp or charred. They don't even give him the chance to tremble.

He looked at Xiahou Wu.

The lightning on Xiahou Wu's body had dissipated.

Having just withstood the first lightning tribulation, which nearly knocked Xiahou Wu unconscious, he still laughed heartily, saying, "Tempering the body with lightning tribulation, so exhilarating... Damn you, heavens, bring it on!"

Rumble!
The second lightning bolt struck down in succession.

Xiahou Wu punched towards the sky, his surging blood and qi merging with his fist intent, shattering the lightning tribulation with a single blow.

Jiang He caught a few more shockwaves from the tribulation lightning. He looked at Xiahou Wu and shouted, "Senior Xiahou, don't blast the tribulation lightning apart... Using your physical body to withstand it and continue tempering your body is such a waste..."

Xiahou Wu: "..."

Hey!
I should have known better than to bring that bastard! (End of Chapter)
