Chapter 4: Chaotic Immortal Body

  "Of course, if you were still that child, then it would be impossible for you to possess the 'Primordial Body', the past child has completely disappeared from this world." A hint of pain flashed across Ye Qiantian's eyes, but quickly returned to calm as he looked at Ye Chen: "Whether it was him or you, both are my children, my Chen'er!"

  "Father..." Ye Chen felt a bit uncomfortable, but Ye Qian Tian didn't blame him for hiding the truth or pretending to be someone he's not. Instead, he said those words and treated him like his own child. After a brief moment of silence, Ye Chen asked: "What do you mean by 'Hunyuan Sacred Body'?"

  "Chen Er, remember what I'm saying!" Ye Wen Tian looked at Ye Chen with a serious expression, "The Hunyuan Saint Body is the number one physique in ancient times, but it's too against the heavens, so the Heavenly Dao and Earthly Dao don't allow this kind of physique to appear in the world. In the future, when you're traveling outside or become a disciple of a certain sect, remember, never let anyone discover your physique, otherwise you will definitely perish on the path of cultivation!"

  Ye Chen, although his mental age was already in his twenties, was still deeply shocked at this moment. The first physique of the Eternal Ancient! What does it represent? It represents that if he succeeds in his cultivation in the future, he will be the absolute king among those of the same rank. However, his physique, though against the heavens, was sealed by the Great Dao.

  "But Father, it's no use even if my physique is special..." Ye Chen's eyes flashed with anger as he said: "The Great Way does not tolerate me, my dantian is sealed, and perhaps I can only cultivate my physical body for the rest of my life."

  "The road ahead is not irreversible!" Ye Wentian raised his head to gaze at the sky, his faint voice entering Ye Chen's ears, "Nothing in life is absolute, as long as you work hard and don't give up, everything has hope."

  The Great Way can be reversed! The Great Way can be reversed! Ye Chen repeated this phrase in his heart, infected by the overbearing aura of his father Ye Wentian. It wasn't until after a long while that he calmed down, his face serene and his eyes tranquil as still water. He said, "Father, please explain to me the cultivation system of this world."

  Ye Wen Tian nodded, and didn't show any surprise at Ye Chen's words "this world", saying: "Cultivation is divided into physical body and secret realm. The physical body has nine stages, those who cultivate the physical body are not considered true cultivators, only when they truly enter the first secret realm of the human body 'Minghai Secret Realm' can they be considered a true cultivator."

  "Physical Nine Sections, First Section: Strengthen the Body, Second Section: Enrich the Body, Third Section: Refine the Skin, Fourth Section: Refine the Muscles, Fifth Section: Refine the Bones, Sixth Section: Cultivate the Marrow, Seventh Section: Refine the Pulse, Eighth Section: Refine the Organs, Ninth Section: Refine the Spirit and Consciousness."

  "The first eight segments are all about condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate the flesh body, making the flesh body's blood and energy full. The ninth segment cultivates the spirit and consciousness, and when the cultivation reaches the point of complete inner vision, one can borrow the help of blood and energy and spiritual medicine to open up a special space in the dantian (lower abdomen). The spiritual energy that enters the body will form a sea of spiritual energy called 'minghai' (life sea) in this space. Below the minghai, a spring eye that connects the lifeblood of the human body is produced, called 'mingspring'. When the lifeblood first bursts out of the mingspring, the spiritual energy in the minghai will be washed and refined, and the cultivator's flesh body will also undergo a refinement, shedding its old skin and increasing its lifespan by one hundred years. At this point, one can truly enter the 'Minghai Secret Realm'!"

  Ye Chen listened carefully, remembering every word Ye Wentian said deeply in his heart. At this moment, he finally understood the cultivation system of the Longevity Continent, which was vastly different from that of Earth, and even more mysterious and profound.

  "What are the boundaries of the Secret Realm of Life and Death? Is there another secret realm above it?" Ye Chen asked. The cultivation system of the Longevity Continent had already greatly attracted him.

  "There are nine realms in the Secret Realm of Life and Death, which means there are nine times when the life spring surges. Each realm differs greatly from the next, and the gap in strength between cultivators is enormous." Ye Wentian said as he glanced at Ye Chen, "As for the secret realm after the Secret Realm of Life and Death, it's too far off for you now. When you cultivate to the Secret Realm of Life and Death later on, you'll naturally find out. Your father won't say more about this here."

  "Come, today your father will teach you a boxing technique called 'Overlord Fist Seal', it has seven forms, watch closely!"

  Ye Wen Tian's expression was stern, and as he spoke, his entire being seemed to be possessed by a domineering aura, exuding an air of majesty.

  He quickly sprang into action, Ye Chen's eyes fixed tightly on every move Ye Wen Tian made, committing the trajectory of his swinging arms to memory. The shadow of Ye Wen Tian's dancing arms filled Ye Chen's eyes.

  "Hum!"

  Ye Wen's movements caused the air within three feet of him to flow and hum, forming a nearly transparent fist print. A three-meter gap blasted towards a giant tree that two people could hug together.

  Bang!

  The big tree shook with a rustling sound, and a three-inch deep fist print appeared on the trunk. Leaves fell from the sky.

  Ye Chen stared with his eyes wide open, this punch was probably thousands of kilograms in force, and how could a cultivator at the physical boundary condense a fist print? He was puzzled, Ye Qian Tian seemed to know what Ye Chen was thinking, and explained: "This fist print is relying on the physical strength to drive the airflow, in simple terms it's just the punch wind, it's just that it's condensed into shape in a special way."

  "The King Fist Seal can be cultivated to the highest realm, allowing the fist wind to condense and each punch to emit a roar like the King's Fury. When fighting against cultivators in the flesh realm, it can catch them off guard, stunning their minds and achieving extraordinary effects!"

  "You watch closely!" Ye Wentian reminded Ye Chen, once again unleashing the King's Fist Seal, his arms dancing wildly as the air currents converged in a frenzy.

  Ye Wen Tian's every punch was accompanied by a roar of fury, shaking the surrounding leaves to fall, and the fierce wind from his fists made the big trees tremble. Seven consecutive roars of fury shook the air, with an aura that seemed to swallow mountains and rivers. The final punch landed with a loud crash, directly striking a tree as thick as a water bucket, causing it to break off at the trunk, sending debris flying everywhere.

  "Do you remember?" Ye asked Tian, looking at Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen recalled Ye Wen Tian's boxing technique in his mind completely and without omission, then nodded affirmatively.

  "Try once and see, with your current strength, it's at most equivalent to the second stage of physical body. I don't ask you to bring out the fist wind, just being able to display the moves of Baxingquan is enough." Towards Ye Chen's words, Ye Wentian didn't have any doubts. The Chaotic Xianti was originally a combination of two ancient physiques, with the chaotic body having an extremely strong physical body, every cell and every drop of essence and blood being treasures, and the xianti having unparalleled comprehension, born close to the Tao.

  "Good!"

  Ye Chen took a step forward, stretched out his hands and feet, and performed the Overlord Fist from start to finish with great momentum. Although he didn't condense any fist wind, he still had an aura of dominance, and surprisingly, he almost flawlessly executed this set of fist techniques.

  Ye Wen's eyes flashed with a bright light, and although his Chaos Immortal body was sealed by the Great Dao, his comprehension and memory were not affected in the slightest.

  "Practice several more times."

  Ye Wen Tian stood beside Ye Chen, staring at him. Although the Overlord Fist was still a bit awkward when executed by Ye Chen, it was already unimaginable for a beginner.

  Ye Chen repeatedly practiced the Boxing of the Overlord for dozens of times, and a hint of joy gradually appeared on his face, becoming more and more proficient. In this process, Ye Qian Tian would correct him whenever there was a slight flaw. After an hour, Ye Chen had almost mastered the movements of this boxing technique to perfection, although he couldn't condense the fist wind due to lack of strength, but could still exert two or three tenths of its power.

  "It seems I need to upgrade my physical realm as soon as possible to exert the power of this boxing technique." Ye Chen muttered to himself, immersed in the Boxing Technique, and when he came back to his senses, Ye Wen Tian's figure had disappeared, unknowingly leaving a pile of equipment under the big tree behind.

  Ye Chen walked under the big tree and found that they were all exercise equipment, although rough in workmanship, but very practical. There were stone pedestals and black metal iron dumbbells. Ye Chen stretched out his hand to try, and unexpectedly had to use all his strength to lift a fist-sized iron dumbbell.

  "So heavy?" Ye Chen was shocked, not knowing what kind of metal material these iron ingots were melted from. His current strength was equivalent to the second stage of the robust body realm, and he couldn't use these iron ingots for training. Those stone pedestals were quite suitable, one pedestal weighed only around 100 catties, which he could handle.

  Half a time later, Ye Chen was exhausted, all his strength had been drained, the two stone pillars in his hands fell to the ground with a loud crash, the mark on his chest emitted a faint heat, pure spiritual energy surged into his body, at the same time, a wave of heat also came from his lower abdomen, several strands of spiritual energy flowed through his limbs and meridians throughout his body.

  "The soup that Nang'er gave me to drink this morning was actually made from the divine medicine!" Ye Chen suddenly realized, no wonder that girl had been so mysterious and unwilling to say anything. However, he felt that giving himself the divine medicine was a waste, especially since he already had the mysterious mark on his chest, which made other divine medicines unnecessary. On the other hand, Nang'er, that girl, was also a cultivator, it would be better if she were the one drinking the soup made from these divine medicines.

  The third stage of the physical body was to refine the skin, Ye Chen sat down in a cross-legged position, his face covered in sweat, his hair and clothes were all soaked through. After exhausting his physical strength, he finally allowed the mark on his chest to burst out with spiritual energy, which he controlled to flow along the meridians to every inch of his skin.

  It can be clearly felt that as the spiritual energy flows through the skin of the whole body for each cycle, the hardness and elasticity of the skin will increase a little.

  The efficacy of the spiritual medicine in his body had begun to weaken, but the spiritual energy emanating from the seal on his chest remained pure and unadulterated. It continued to circulate through Ye Chen's skin for nine cycles before suddenly stopping automatically, no matter how hard he tried to control it. However, his entire being shook off its weak state, his spirit revitalized, and he felt a slight increase in strength.

  Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he touched the skin on his arm. The feeling was different from before, and at this moment, his entire body's skin had become slightly tougher.

  "The skin has become much tougher and more resilient. If I can go through a few more cycles of spiritual energy refinement, I should be able to break through to the third stage of Skin Refining Realm!"

  Ye Chen was about to get up and continue to exert his strength, allowing the mark on his chest to surge with spiritual energy once again. Just then, the mark on his chest suddenly emitted a cool intent, followed by a majestic spiritual energy that surged out, gathering into a single stream that poured towards a certain part of his body's muscles, before slowly seeping into a cell.
