Chapter 3: The Thick Earth Star Point Lights Up, the Primordial Overlord Body Technique!
"Good!" Lin Mu nodded with great satisfaction, quickly stepped forward to help Shi Tie up, and said in a calm yet authoritative tone, "From today onwards, you are my first disciple, Lin Mu's first disciple!"
"What I will teach you is not the path of a Soul Master focused on cultivating Martial Souls, but a path of cultivation that continuously unlocks your own potential and transcends the limitations of Martial Souls. This path may be difficult, and even incomprehensible to others, but if you have great perseverance and determination, your future achievements will far surpass those of a Title Douluo!"
The instant his words fell, deep within Lin Mu's mind, the ancient [Innate Dao Diagram] trembled violently! A very dim star marker on it suddenly shone with a thick, earthy-yellow light—
The Thick Earth Star Position in the [Primordial Dao Diagram] has been successfully activated!
Immediately afterwards, a series of clear, mechanical system voices echoed in my mind:
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully accepted a disciple. The "Thick Earth Star Position" of the [Innate Dao Diagram] is being bound...]
[Ding! Binding successful! The "Thick Earth Star Position" of the [Innate Dao Diagram] has been activated, currently 1/20 activated! Congratulations, host, on reaching the first level of the Innate Dao Scripture!]
[Ding! The exclusive Immortal-level cultivation technique for the Thick Earth Star position—Primordial Overlord Body Technique, and the Yellow-rank martial skill—Mountain-Splitting Fist—have been successfully issued. The host has automatically cultivated the Mountain-Splitting Fist to its perfect state!]
Immediately afterwards, Lin Mu felt a powerful yet gentle strange energy surge out from the [Innate Dao Diagram] floating in his mind, instantly coursing through his limbs and bones.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but he was very clear about one thing: this was definitely not the simple soul power of this world, but a more fundamental and pure spiritual power of heaven and earth!
This body, which had been nearly stagnant for many years due to its inability to absorb spirit rings, was now experiencing a dramatic transformation, with every cell frantically absorbing and evolving, like rain after a long drought!
Qi Refining Level 1! Qi Refining Level 2! Level 3... until the peak of Qi Refining Level 5, the rate of increase in cultivation level gradually slowed down!
He actually skipped the Body Refinement Realm and broke through more than a dozen realms in one go! Is this the result of all his years of accumulation? He's been silent until he made a stunning debut!
Feeling the special, gentle spiritual energy flowing through his meridians, Lin Mu found that his five senses had become more acute, and the whole world seemed several times clearer in his eyes.
He then looked at the boy who was still kneeling before him, his body trembling slightly with excitement, and reached out to help him up, saying, "Get up!"
"Don't be too happy yet! The path of cultivation I'm about to teach you requires defying the heavens and contending with the Dao! Especially for you, to forge the supreme Dao, you must endure unimaginable suffering. A thousand cuts, a complete rebirth—can you withstand it?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Tie abruptly looked up, a fierce flame burning in his eyes, and said with unwavering determination, "Master! As long as it makes me stronger, as long as it prevents me from being bullied by anyone, even if it means fighting to the death, I will not flinch!"
"Good, this is the spirit that my eldest disciple, Lin Mu, should have!" Lin Mu then said no more and directly pointed a finger at Shi Tie's brow.
The cultivation outline of the "Primordial Overlord Body Technique" and the essence of the Yellow-Rank martial art "Mountain-Splitting Fist" were instantly imprinted into Shi Tie's mind. This method of inheritance alone shocked Shi Tie once again.
"This is a top-tier cultivation technique that I have tailored for you based on your talents and characteristics. The specific cultivation method will be different from the meditation and soul power you are familiar with. You need to sense and draw the pure spiritual energy that is free in the world into your body, spreading it throughout your limbs, bones, muscles and tendons."
"To put it simply, it's like using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a hammer, and yourself as the iron, repeatedly forging and tempering! In this process, you will endure the torment of being devoured by thousands of ants and having your bones scraped by a dull knife, but with each triumph, your physical body will become stronger!"
Shi Tie, who was standing to the side, was captivated by what he heard. He saw himself as an iron blank full of impurities, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to continuously forge it, thus becoming stronger step by step!
This kind of cultivation method is simply unheard of! It is a path that completely overturns people's understanding!
"After you return, be sure to memorize the cultivation techniques and operating procedures I taught you. You can try to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), come to the back mountain to find me, and I will officially begin guiding your cultivation!"
Lin Mu solemnly instructed, "Remember, after sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you must maintain your focus when guiding it into your body. No matter how painful it is, your consciousness must not wander, otherwise everything will be in vain, and it may even damage your foundation. Do not practice that martial art for now. Wait until you successfully enter the Body Refinement Realm before trying to learn it!"
"Yes, Master!"
Shi Tie knelt down again, kowtowed heavily to Lin Mu, and then left! Unlike when he came, Shi Tie's heart was now filled with hope and determination!
This time, it's all or nothing! Whether you can change your destiny depends on your own fate!
……
After returning to the work-study dormitory, Shi Tie completely ignored the curious or disdainful looks from the other children around him.
He sat quietly on his hard bed and began to cultivate according to the cultivation incantation of the "Primordial Overlord Body Technique" in his mind, slowly trying to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that his master had mentioned.
At first, Shi Tie could only sense darkness and silence all around him, and could not feel any trace of spiritual energy. Fortunately, he was resilient and calm, and gradually relaxed his body, repeatedly chanting the incantation and circulating the cultivation technique again and again according to the cultivation route.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but just when he was about to give up, suddenly, a very faint "warm current" with a heavy and reassuring feeling slowly touched his body!
Shi Tie was overjoyed. This must be the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that his master had mentioned! This kind of warm and pure aura couldn't be wrong!
He immediately began to guide the spiritual energy into his body according to the cultivation method in the "Primordial Overlord Body Technique".
The moment the spiritual energy entered his body, Shi Tie felt as if molten iron had flowed into his bloodstream, causing waves of soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain wherever it passed! Especially deep within his bones, the pricking sensation was extremely uncomfortable!
He couldn't help but groan, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered his master's instructions: he had to grit his teeth and persevere, or all his previous efforts would be in vain!
He slowly guided the faint spiritual energy along a specific route, making it travel slowly and painstakingly through his flesh and blood before finally dissipating and merging into his blood and flesh.
Having only experienced this slight tempering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Shi Tie felt as if he had run ten kilometers and then been beaten up, his whole body aching!
But at this moment, his mind was unusually clear, and he could clearly feel that his skin and flesh seemed to have become much firmer and harder!
"This is only a trace... I almost couldn't hold on. Master was right, the pain is real, but the effect seems to be stronger than I expected! Shi Tie, Shi Tie, I must seize this opportunity, even if it kills me, I must not give up easily!"
At this moment, Shi Tie's lingering doubts completely vanished, leaving only his faith in Lin Mu and his anticipation and longing for future cultivation!
