“Vitality gong methods of a profound nature?” Gu Wutong slightly nodded in thought after hearing Pei Jinye’s words, “How should I put it, if you’re not from the Body Technique System, you basically can’t get your hands on them.”
“Can’t get them?” Pei Jinye looked over, “Are you worried about cultivation?”
“Yeah, you should have cultivated Vitality methods before, they always cause Shock; let’s not even talk about those from the outer faction, even those who cultivate in the Body Technique System can easily go berserk if they’re not careful, basically ending up either dead or crippled,” Gu Wutong shook his head and said, “For an elite like you, those higher up wouldn’t agree to let you mess around.”
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows.
Gu Wutong hadn’t realized what Pei Jinye was getting at first, but when he did, he heard Pei Jinye ask, “Can’t the martial schools provide them either?”
“Buddy, are you dead set on following the path of the Body Technique?” Gu Wutong looked over with a face full of interest, “But how should I put it, techniques related to Vitality that are circulated outside are not much really; I vaguely heard someone say that, a long time ago, Star Ring had determined that such techniques are very harmful to the human body and an action to burn books was launched jointly by the Five Continents…”
“Burn books?” Pei Jinye frowned, “Isn’t that cutting off the path for those in the Body Technique System?”
“Not necessarily,” Gu Wutong shook his head, “Although there are quite a few Transcendent individuals in the Body Technique System, very few actually manage to grow. You must have heard of the Threefold Tower of Martial Arts, right? The Middle and Lower Three Realms… For most people, reaching the Blood Refining Realm already indicates good aptitude, it’s hard to say whether they can achieve Organ Refining in their lifetime, not to mention condensing a Dharma Body.”
Looking at the thoughtful Pei Jinye, Gu Wutong lowered his voice and said, “Brother, it’s not that I mean to belittle you intentionally, but the Middle Three Realm is enough. Of course, I can also understand your feelings, I’m the same myself, no one wants their path of cultivation to be cut off halfway… but this path of Body Technique, to enter the Upper Third Realms is very hard, and…”
Gu Wutong’s voice grew even softer.
“Those who truly step into the Upper Third Realms are not as good as one might imagine; although their Vitality peaks to a new summit, the human body is still very fragile. It’s a bit like having virtue that doesn’t match one’s position. I’ve heard from my grandfather that none of those big shots from the Upper Third Realms had a good end in their later years.”
“So, you mean Vitality goes up, but Physical Body Strength doesn’t match up. What if it does?”
Pei Jinye’s retort made Gu Wutong laugh softly.
“Your question is exactly like the one I asked my grandfather back then. Haha, I’m not kidding you, I really did ask him that, but according to what my grandfather meant, cultivating Physical Body Strength is not that simple…”
Pei Jinye inquired with a glance.
Gu Wutong smiled and said, “A breakfast invitation wouldn’t be too much to ask for, right?”
“Let’s go, what do you want to eat.”
In the cafeteria on the second floor.
Gu Wutong smiled contentedly and said, “Ever since Extraordinary-Human Genes began awakening, the theory of the human body as a treasure trove was brought up again by those scholars…”
The development of this treasure trove has never stopped; there are too many intricacies and the water’s too deep… Take the Physical Body Defense Art that you’re cultivating, for instance. Even if you cultivate it to a Breaking the limit level with great perseverance in the future, is your physical body really developed to its peak state?
Theoretically, it’s not.
The energy contained in Extraordinary-Human Genes is immeasurable, no one knows where the limit is…
After all, human beings don’t have eternal life; otherwise, there might really be a chance to explore the limits of Extraordinary-Human Genes.
But given our normal lifespan, it’s already hard enough just to touch the heights we currently know of; there’s no need to force oneself to add hassle over things too far in the distance. When you truly reach that step, maybe the path will clear as the boat approaches the bridge.”
Gu Wutong’s words were clear to Pei Jinye.
But his situation was rather special, so he couldn’t judge it by the trajectory of ordinary people.
“First Blood Refining… go through it three times!”
Pei Jinye fell into contemplation.
The Federation’s Intelligent Brain Ring had eliminated these Upper Third Realms’ Vitality gong methods in the name of protecting human beings.
Was it really for the protection of human beings?
Or was there another motive?
Or to say… was it really eliminated?
Could something scanned by the Intelligent Brain really be formatted and completely destroyed?
“So, that means…”
Pei Jinye had an idea.
He was just entering the Middle Three Realm now; it was somewhat naive to think about the Upper Third Realms at this point.
Showcasing potential in Physical Body too openly wasn’t wise… Being noticed by a Teacher Chang meant he could also be targeted by a second, or a third Teacher Chang.
In the end, he was still too weak.
Without a powerful background as support, without strong power as confidence, one would only end up as a lamb on the chopping block.
This was not the path for Pei Jinye.
“What’s on your mind?” Gu Wutong looked up and asked.
Pei Jinye came back to his senses, “Practice some techniques this afternoon?”
“Haha, I can’t ask for more.”
…
Past one o’clock.
Dust flew on the training field.
Two figures intertwined in combat.
Suddenly, Gu Wutong stepped back and exclaimed, “Damn, your Physical Body Strength has increased again?”
Swinging his red arm.
Gu Wutong finally understood why Pei Jinye was so eager to learn about Vitality gong methods.
“If I had your conditions, I’d be impatient too, but are you Bone Forging or Blood Refining right now?”
“Bone Forging,” Pei Jinye said off-handedly.
“No bull,” Gu Wutong didn’t think too much and truly admired him, “Although it’s said that breakthroughs in the Lower Three Realm are simple, it’s really rare to see someone who lays such a solid foundation like you.”
Pei Jinye rolled up his sleeves, “Less talk, fight again!”
Gu Wutong laughed heartily and charged over.
After ten minutes, Gu Wutong was called away by internal group communication, waving as he left, “I’ll be back tonight for a drink, wait for me.”
Watching him leave, Pei Jinye practiced alone for a while until he heard a shout from behind and turned to look.
“Brother Kui.”
Brother Kui came along with Brother Bi, both sharing a laugh.
“Aren’t you still on holiday? Why are you still here, not afraid of being drafted later?” Brother Bi joked with a smile.
“Since I’m here,” Pei Jinye responded.
“Lend a hand?” Seeing the robust looking Pei Jinye, Brother Kui couldn’t help but itch for a fight.
Brother Bi, baffled and helpless, laughed and cursed, “Damn, I was wondering why this old kid suddenly felt like coming to the training field.”
Brother Kui wasn’t surprised and sneered, “How long has it been since you stretched your muscles and bones? Don’t you need some practice?”
“No practice for me,” Brother Bi said as he laid down on a bench nearby, “The weather’s too nice. I’m going to take a nap; wake me up when you’re done.”
With his hat pulled down, he curled up on the bench.
Pei Jinye and Brother Kui exchanged glances, chuckled, and walked forward to start sparring.
Brother Kui also exclaimed in astonishment, “Did you break through Exfoliate? Or Bone Forging? You really have some tough bones.”
“About that,” Pei Jinye said with a smile, “be careful, Brother Kui.”
“Come on!”
Pei Jinye moved in with a knee strike, blocked by Brother Kui’s hand, but in an instant, Pei Jinye’s fist was pressed against Brother Kui’s waist. The next second, however, he was sent flying by Brother Kui.
“Haha, if you weren’t just a bit weaker than me in strength, I might really end up flat on my back right now,” Brother Kui laughed heartily, thrilled to have found a match.
Jinye charged forward without a word, throwing rapid punches.
Controlling the strength of his punches greatly tested his control over his physical body.
In fact, if he hadn’t held back, his tripled strength would likely have smashed Brother Kui’s physical body defense right then and there.
But this wasn’t a battlefield for killing enemies.
Pei Jinye, usually absorbed in continuous cultivation, occasionally needed this kind of sparring with martial artists to quickly address his shortcomings.
About half an hour later, Brother Kui was amazed.
At first, he held back a bit of his strength, but occasionally, to counter Pei Jinye’s brilliant offensive, he had no choice but to release his full power.
What he didn’t expect was that this young man could actually hold on until now!
“Brother Kui, I appreciate the leniency,” Pei Jinye said.
Before Brother Kui could move forward to test how deep Pei Jinye’s skills were, he suddenly saw Pei Jinye step back and wave his hands.
Brother Kui couldn’t help feeling disappointed and exclaimed in surprise, “Do you still have some strength left?”
“No more.”
“Really no more?”
Brother Kui was a bit regretful, but still admiringly said, “You really are a monster, kiddo. I remember you’ve only joined the group recently, right?”
“Just lucky, I guess, to have met good seniors like you who are willing to help and give me guidance, saving me a lot of trouble,” Pei Jinye modestly said.
“Your potential lies within yourself,” Brother Kui suddenly remembered Pei Jinye wasn’t a Transcendent of the Body Technique System and couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry, but he didn’t say it outright.
“Breaking through the Lower Three Realm doesn’t require an advanced mental method, but what’s rare are the things that come after…” Brother Kui laughed, “But you mustn’t underestimate the foundation laid by the Lower Three Realm. The deeper your foundation, the better the effects you’ll experience when the time for payback comes.”
“Brother Kui, have you ever thought about reaching the Upper Third Realms?” Pei Jinye suddenly asked.
“The Upper Third Realms?” Brother Kui lapsed into silence then sighed, “The path to becoming a Martial Saint is not easy.”
He looked at Pei Jinye with a smile, “Have you heard some rumors and become interested in the Upper Third Realms?”
“You caught me,” Pei Jinye said “modestly.”
Brother Kui laughed heartily, shook his head, and asked, “What’ll you have?”
“Supply water is fine.”
Brother Kui threw a coin into the vending machine, sliding out two bottles of supply water. He took one for himself and threw the other to Pei Jinye, saying as he opened the bottle, “Martial artists of the Upper Third Realms can’t be judged by common standards. To me, they are no longer human beings.”
Pei Jinye looked puzzled.
Not human?
“I’d like to know more.”
Brother Kui took a sip of water, pointing to the bottle in his hand, “You see this is water, but in their hands, even a single drop could be a lethal weapon… Their methods are truly those of immortals.”
Brother Kui spoke with reverence but no envy.
“They gained power, but they also lost a lot…”
“For example?”
“For example…” Brother Kui looked into Pei Jinye’s eyes, seriously saying, “Humanity. In the Third Realm, one enters a kind of special… a special state.”
It was as if Brother Kui was reflecting on a memory.
Seeing this, Pei Jinye hurriedly asked, “Brother Kui, have you met a predecessor from the Third Realm?”
“I have,” Brother Kui nodded. “It was an old predecessor nearing the end of his life… Sigh, he was glorious for decades, but in the end, he died miserably after losing his cultivation.”
“Decades?”
Noticing the incomprehension in Pei Jinye’s eyes, Brother Kui whispered, “The Martial Arts realm isn’t a modern innovation derived from the development of society, and even the Star Ring can’t accurately track its origins… so we have no way of knowing whether the environment and human genes from that distant era remained consistent throughout the ages… Over the years, many people have rushed down this path, including many geniuses, but none have had a good end. What seems glorious is fraught with danger at every turn.”
He patted Pei Jinye on the shoulder.
“Young man, don’t think too much. The Middle Three Realm is enough, but let’s wait until you get there,” he said.
Pei Jinye simply smiled silently.
The Middle Three Realm, I’m already there.
As for the Upper Three Realm, for now, I’m just curious.
With the Attribute Light Group… The paths others can’t tread may not be the same for me.
To outsiders, he just seemed like a Cultivation Maniac.
But Pei Jinye couldn’t help it.
There were too many Transcendent aspects to him, and correspondingly, he inherited many techniques.
If he didn’t cultivate, it was as if hoarding treasure without knowing how to use it.
So for others, spending some time on a single technique was enough.
But Pei Jinye was different.
He needed to cultivate five or even more techniques, leaving him pressured for time.
“An Everlasting Transcendent… maybe I have a chance to synthesize it!”
