Chapter 464: Chapter 2: Tier Three Body Refining (Part 2)
She’s worried about herself, too.
Even though they were fleeing, the sect disciples hadn’t changed their habit of carrying their identity token.
Moreover, their cultivation techniques could easily be recognized by those familiar with them.
Guo Wanzhi’s heart was already in her throat, and Yao Rui’s reminder made her even more uneasy.
Looking back, she noticed Yao Rui was equally distressed.
She realized this female cultivator, who had never shown her true face, was also a sect disciple.
However, after spending time together for half a year, Guo Wanzhi could feel Yao Rui’s kindness and closeness, developing some affection for her.
"Sister, good people will fare well, don’t be afraid!" Guo Wanzhi stepped forward, holding Yao Rui’s hand and comforting her softly.
"Hey, aren’t you Sister Guo’s senior brother? Aren’t you going to do something?" Yao Rui had been observing Li Ji’an’s expression, seeing his calm demeanor all along, concluding he wasn’t a sect disciple and surely could escape this calamity.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but ask him.
But she only asked Li Ji’an to save Guo Wanzhi.
"Don’t be hasty, let’s observe a bit more!" Li Ji’an had already sensed the magical artifact tightly held in Yao Rui’s sleeve, and promptly spoke to remind her.
He still couldn’t gauge Wu Weixiong’s attitude towards him, nor could he pin all hopes on his character.
"Wu Weixiong, how dare you!" At that moment, a loud shout emanated from Sima Yu’s cabin.
Li Ji’an’s divine sense had been focused there, Wu Weixiong’s surprise upon seeing Sima Yu was evident, clearly having spotted a big catch.
Back then, he was wanted by Spirit Beast Mountain and Beast Taming Liu Family when Ten Thousand Laws Palace captured him.
Because of his body refining strength and his Second Tier Earth-Split Bear spirit pet, they placed a divine soul restriction on him, forcing him to enter the Boundless Domain on behalf of Ten Thousand Laws Palace as a true inheritor.
Fortunately, his fate wasn’t sealed, and with some luck, he successfully helped Ten Thousand Laws Palace obtain the treasures from a secret realm.
After struggling to return to Ten Thousand Laws Palace, they only granted him a nominal outer sect position, and even refused to give the promised five-hundred-year-old Celestial Heart Grass.
Moreover, outsiders didn’t know that after he handed over the treasures to Ten Thousand Laws Palace, he almost couldn’t make it out alive.
Some suggested killing him to silence him.
If he hadn’t planned ahead, publicizing the ties between him and Ten Thousand Laws Palace during his return journey, they might have killed him for reputation’s sake.
But they still placed a vicious divine soul restriction on him.
This restriction not only bound his divine soul but also left him almost hopeless for further progress on his path.
A century ago, fleeing here, he happened to meet the sect leader of Shadowless Sect, who relieved him of the divine soul restriction, giving him hope to achieve Core Formation.
Thus, his hatred towards Ten Thousand Laws Palace was a true life-and-death vendetta, a curse that blocked his path!
The two Fake Pill attendants around Sima Yu had prepared enough spiritual talent to buy their lives, but no matter how they debased themselves or tried to please Wu Weixiong, he remained unmoved.
At this moment, Sima Yu could no longer endure.
In his eyes, Wu Weixiong was but a mere Fake Pill, and judging by his magical power aura, he wasn’t even as good as the two attendants beside him.
Moreover, he had a lifesaving trump card gifted by Master Chunyuan, making him somewhat dismiss Kot Wu Weixiong.
"Ha ha ha, young master’s demeanor and courage, just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet having two true men as guardians, your identity must be remarkable. May I ask for your name?" Wu Weixiong laughed instead of getting angry.
"Humph! A mere three-named house slave, how dare you inquire my name?" Sima Yu’s gaze expressed disgust, his manner arrogant.
However, the two guardian attendants beside him showed despair, exchanged a glance, already prepared to face death.
"Boom!"
The two attendants were seasoned elders of Ten Thousand Laws Palace, veterans of many battles.
Since avoidance was impossible, striking first was the best option!
"Young master, run!" The two Fake Pills attacked Wu Weixiong, but they had no confidence, initially urging Sima Yu to flee.
"Ha ha ha!" Wu Weixiong laughed ceaselessly at the two incoming attackers.
His exquisite Black Brilliance Gilded Robe billowed with the laughter.
In an instant, his bronze skin was exposed to the air, reflecting golden brilliance onto the faces of the two elders.
"Clang!" At the next moment, each of their magical power attacks landed on Wu Weixiong’s bronze skin.
What stunned everyone was that Wu Weixiong neither activated a body-protecting dharma shield nor dodged, boldly taking it with his physique.
"..." Sima Yu, who hadn’t quite reacted yet, was dumbfounded.
Facing two Fake Pills’ combined assault, he could withstand it with his flesh!
"Tier Three Body Cultivator!"
He finally understood the reason behind the despair of the two Fake Pill attendants earlier.
"He actually broke through to Tier Three Body Cultivation!" Li Ji’an was equally astonished.
Having practiced the Divine Treasure Body Refining Technique in this life, he realized how challenging this body refining technique was.
Compared to the body refining technique Master Chen Zhaohu had imparted in his previous life, progressing from Tier One to Tier Two only required the demon core of a Golden Armored Beast; the path was already paved and predictable, proceeding step by step.
In contrast, this ancient Divine Treasure Body Refining Technique followed the methods of ancient times.
The five organs corresponded to the Five Elements, needing congruence with the same attribute of spiritual essence, yet precisely which congruence, Li Ji’an had no idea.
He was even half-knowledgeable about how to sense spiritual essence.
Even back in his previous life, after obtaining the cultivation technique from Wu Weixiong, and reading Wu Weixiong’s insights, he had no idea what he used for advancing to Tier Two.
He didn’t even understand how to absorb spiritual essence.
Li Ji’an could only marvel at his good luck at the time.
Yet now, he couldn’t help re-evaluating Wu Weixiong.
There’s no rationale for advancing twice so cluelessly, is there?
"Could it be that the insights on the cultivation technique were fake?" He couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive.
At the same time, he became a bit more alert.
Now that he had advanced to Tier Three Body Cultivation, his previous vulnerable points and critical weaknesses might have changed.
And Tier Three Body Cultivation and Tier Two Body Cultivation were not comparable!
It’s no exaggeration to say Wu Weixiong’s Tier Three Body Cultivation could be regarded as the greatest in Celestial Cyan Domain’s history!
In the long six thousand years post-ancient era, all records and legends from Celestial Cyan Domain have never mentioned anyone breaking through to Tier Three Body Cultivation.
A Tier Three Body Cultivator, up close can battle a Mid-stage Core Formation True Man, and even pose a threat to a Late-stage Core Formation Ascendant’s dharma shield!
Li Ji’an furrowed his brows, quietly stepped back, his divine sense decisively attempting to contact Master Meng.
However, Master Meng was even more shocked than him, without the presence of mind to respond.
"Tier Three Body Cultivator!"
He couldn’t help but feel a bit scared.
Luckily, he had made the wise choice earlier; otherwise, if a fight broke out, his genuine Fake Pill True Man status might not hold for more than three breaths.
"Ah!" Amidst everyone’s shock, a wail erupted.
They saw Wu Weixiong showcase his half-step golden body physique, taking but a single stride to arrive before one of the Fake Pill attendants.
"Shrinking Inches! Is it the divinity of Tier Three Body Cultivation or the speed boost after physique breaking through the limits?" Li Ji’an’s eyes widened suddenly.
Just at that instant, it took all his divine sense to barely track the trajectory.
As for ordinary Early-stage True Core cultivators, they might barely react.
Thus, with such divine ability of Shrinking Inches, Wu Weixiong as a Tier Three Body Cultivator could battle Mid-stage True Core True Men within a hundred feet around him!
"Bang!" Wu Weixiong chose the most ruthless method to terminate the Fake Pill attendant’s life.
Afterward, he leisurely turned his gaze to the other attendant who was already fleeing.
Until just before exceeding a hundred feet distance, Wu Weixiong’s figure flickered, and he stepped out to intercept him.
"Clang!" The Fake Pill attendant couldn’t halt his advance, crashing into him, emitting a bell-like bronze sound.
Simultaneously, the fake pill he intended to self-destruct was crushed in an instant by Wu Weixiong!
"..."
Everyone’s gaze was drawn to the beast soaked in fresh blood at the center, even Sima Yu couldn’t help but tremble.
Not even Yao Rui, always disdainful of outsiders, seemed arrogant now, incessantly swallowing.
Guo Wanzhi’s heart pounded like a drum.
It must be admitted, Wu Weixiong’s appearance, the unrivaled body cultivation strength, the savage hunting techniques, the slightly twisted blood bathing... all shocked everyone present.
Guo Wanzhi and Yao Rui had no thought of resistance!
Even Yao Rui had abandoned hope in Huang Jie’s master.
"No, no, don’t come near..." Seeing Wu Weixiong approaching, Sima Yu’s legs trembled and he repeatedly retreated.
"Young master still reluctant to reveal your name?" Eyeing Sima Yu’s delicate face and timid demeanor, a mocking smile lingered at Wu Weixiong’s lips...
