Ma Long refused to accept the Flowing Thoughts Nourishing Spirit, and Su Tu didn’t insist.
In his heart, he had already etched the other party’s words into his memory.
He was still exploring the Sacred Realm now, and as he became more familiar with it in the future, he might be able to help Senior Brother Ma a bit.
However, he naturally couldn’t say these words now.
After all, others were crossing the Sea of Suffering like a candle flame, whereas he was a manifestation of his true self; while others crossed the sea, he walked on its surface.
This matter was too outrageous and shocking.
Su Tu speculated that this situation might have arisen because his Spiritual Wisdom Level had improved.
The existence of the system was Su Tu’s greatest trump card, which must not be revealed to the outside world.
After Ma Long returned Su Tu to the Tayue Martial Arts Hall, he reluctantly left with Wang Nuannuan.
Today, he came a bit late, and Luo Fan and others had already finished their cultivation for the day.
They were discussing something in the lounge.
Since Su Tu hadn’t cultivated today, he didn’t join the discussion.
He vaguely heard something about being personally passed on by a Daoist Master.
But he didn’t mind and changed into his training clothes before heading to the Body Tempering Room for Basic Skill training.
To be honest, Su Tu was now a bit curious; at the end of the Immortal Burial’s Middle Tier in strengthening his body, the proficiency it provided had begun to significantly diminish.
Now that he had advanced his body strengthening to the High Tier, his physical strength increased by several levels.
And the essence of Basic Skill is to cultivate the barren land of the body. Now that his body was so strong, he wondered if Immortal Burial would manifest the way it did when he originally practiced other Basic Skills.
With this in mind, Su Tu took out a Limit-Breaking Pill and consumed it, curious about its effects, which were said to unlock limits.
The moment the Limit-Breaking Pill entered his mouth, streams of warmth surged in Su Tu’s dantian, spreading throughout his body.
At the same time, Su Tu took up the stance for Basic Skill practice.
As soon as he immersed himself in Basic Skill, he immediately sensed something was off!!
The flow of energy within him had changed!
Hidden apertures that hadn’t been activated started to inhale and exhale golden light along with the Immortal Burial.
Just after a few poses, the golden light began to roam erratically around Su Tu’s body, after which the Limit-Breaking Pill dispersed into streams of warmth.
Subsequently, the golden light, as if guided, rushed into the energy flow, directing Su Tu’s internal energy to surge through various apertures and meridians.
Crack, crack, crack!!!
More terrifyingly, as Su Tu’s body was being developed by the Basic Skill, it began to produce a teeth-aching sound continuously.
His flesh, skin, and bones seemed to be undergoing repeated tearing and stretching.
The unimaginable pain and itchiness constantly assaulted Su Tu’s heart and spirit.
This was far beyond the pain he experienced when he first practiced Basic Skill.
However, at the same time, Su Tu could feel his body growing stronger, with the flesh becoming more substantial after tearing, and his bones becoming more resilient after shattering.
"So that’s how it is; the reason the proficiency provided by Immortal Burial decreased wasn’t because my body had become stronger."
"It was because, at the Middle Tier of body strengthening, I couldn’t bear the ’cultivation’ of Immortal Burial. As the cultivation progressed, the body’s capacity approached its limit, leading to a decline in proficiency."
"Now, having advanced to High Tier in body strengthening, and with the effects of the Limit-Breaking Pill, the true power of Immortal Burial is revealed!"
At this moment, Su Tu was drenched in sweat, with bloodshot eyes, his entire body trembling slightly, and the floor beneath was soaked by his sweat.
Yet, he extremely enjoyed this moment.
Before his eyes, the system notifications appeared like the most beautiful spectacle in the world. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fire·net
[You cultivated Immortal Burial for twenty minutes, Body Strengthening Proficiency +30!]
[You cultivated...]
[You cultivated Immortal Burial for an hour, Body Strengthening Proficiency +30]
[Body Strengthening (High Tier): 400/5000]
There’s nothing more satisfying than watching yourself grow stronger every moment.
The proficiency provided by Immortal Burial was much higher than before.
He felt that he still hadn’t fully mastered Immortal Burial, which meant even if his body strengthening advanced several more tiers in the future, Immortal Burial would still provide him with a substantial amount of proficiency.
Moreover, there was one more discovery that excited Su Tu even more.
At this moment, golden light surged in that hidden aperture within him, forming threads within his body, linking numerous apertures, including those yet to be developed.
The golden threads consistently vibrated his apertures, dyeing those already developed with divine light, while causing the undeveloped ones to tremble slightly.
Su Tu could feel that those undeveloped apertures were now connected through the hidden aperture, with energy flowing through a single channel.
This means, as the hidden aperture vibrated, the other apertures would as well, allowing Su Tu to focus solely on developing the hidden aperture to naturally open the others.
As he pondered this, the hidden aperture once again inhaled and exhaled golden light, causing five apertures to tremble slightly before the energy surged like mountains and rivers, formalizing the development of the apertures.
Feeling the turbulence of energy within him, Su Tu couldn’t help but marvel.
This Immortal Burial was indeed profound, and paired with the Limit-Breaking Pill, it was as if he had unlocked a miracle.
His cultivation speed was now tremendously faster.
"The Basic Skill my mentor gave me is truly wondrous."
Su Tu mused in his heart, recognizing the painstaking efforts Zhou Wuliang had made for him. From stepping into the Martial Arts Dao until now, if it weren’t for that old man’s guidance, even with the system’s aid, he wouldn’t have progressed so smoothly.
In Su Tu’s heart, that meddlesome old man was already among the few he deeply respected.
Putting away his Basic Skill stance and wiping off the sweat on his body,
Su Tu eagerly opened the terminal to study the Tier Four Technique, Xingtian, he had obtained from Chen Yuan.
Just the name of this technique intrigued Su Tu greatly.
Xingtian, an ancient War God, using his chest as eyes, his belly as mouth, wielding weapons, waging battles against the heavens.
Xingtian was known as a war god during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, and his legends and valiant feats were self-explanatory.
This technique named after Xingtian was naturally extraordinary.
Su Tu opened the technique and studied it carefully.
The more he read, the more shocked he became.
"Only one tier apart, yet the destructive power of this technique differs so much..."
Su Tu couldn’t help but marvel as he looked at the image before him on the terminal.
On the light screen was an endless Star River, with a man in silver battle armor standing upon it. He was thin, ordinary-looking, the type of person one could lose sight of in a crowd.
Opposite him was a massive swarm of Insect Race, overwhelming and blotting out the sky, rolling together and rampaging across the Star River, leaving a trail of desolation.
A small meteorite that encountered the swarm was devoured in an instant.
The scene was harrowing.
At this moment, the man in silver armor slowly spoke:
"Xingtian is what I comprehended from a fragmentary page of a Daoist Canon."
