The Wonderful Body Refining Art

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Wonders of the Body Refining Art

Chen Yun stared blankly at the Body Refining Art in Old Ent's hand, listening to his introduction, but only half-understanding. Was the Body Refining Art a divine and profound cultivation technique?

Seeing the expression on Chen Yun's face, Old Ent smiled calmly and said, "Perhaps you still don't understand if I put it this way. Let me explain what body refining is all about!"

"Your previous body refining was just the most basic and crude method. It doesn't count as true body refining. However, in the early stages of body refining, you can only train this way. Only when the body reaches a certain level and a unique airflow is generated within, which we call 'Internal Qi,' can it be considered entry-level. At this point, you can cultivate specialized body refining techniques."

"And body refining techniques cultivate this Internal Qi. However, there is no Internal Qi in the War God Continent's space to absorb. You can only train the body by controlling this Internal Qi to constantly circulate throughout the body, impacting all muscles and bones, and refining the body internally."

"What's astonishing is that as this refining progresses, the Internal Qi within the body gradually increases. This was discovered by human ancestors through continuous experimentation, but no one has been able to explain why. Logically, this space is filled with Battle Qi everywhere. Where does the Internal Qi produced by body refining come from? There's only one explanation: the human body itself!"

"The human body?" Chen Yun was stunned. The human body is so small, how could it inexplicably generate Internal Qi?

"Yes, the human body. Otherwise, this phenomenon cannot be explained at all!" Old Ent said solemnly.

"Although this explanation is too incredible, after continuous human argumentation, it is currently the most reasonable explanation."

"This Internal Qi is extremely powerful and domineering, with great destructive power, far surpassing Battle Qi. This is where the saying 'Body Cultivators are kings among their peers' comes from."

"However, cultivating the Physical Body is extremely difficult. The human body is naturally fragile internally, and the impact of Internal Qi on the internal body is extremely painful. Ordinary people cannot endure it. Of course, the rewards are very considerable. Not only does the body's strength increase, but the amount of Internal Qi also increases. This cannot be compared to cultivating Battle Qi, which only increases the amount of Battle Qi, with negligible improvement to the body. Unless it's an increase in tier or realm that brings about physical improvement, but the degree of improvement is not much."

"Therefore, it is enough to illustrate the power of Body Cultivators!" As he said this, Old Ent couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face. It was understandable, after all, he was a genuine Body Cultivator. Although he was only at the Sixth Order, his combat power could rival that of the Seventh Order.

Chen Yun listened to Old Ent's words with a serious expression. After all, it was the first time he had heard of such mystical things. Old Ent had never told him before, only training him relentlessly. Hearing such a magical explanation now, he couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty, but he didn't notice the proud expression on Old Ent's face.

This made Old Ent roll his eyes. This kid is really by the book! Then Old Ent continued, "And this Body Refining Art is somewhat different from ordinary body refining. These differences are precisely its brilliance. This set of Body Refining Art has a special route for circulating Internal Qi. Just follow the route above."

"You must know that Internal Qi cannot circulate in the meridians. It can only wander within the body's non-meridian pathways. Similarly, Battle Qi can only circulate in the meridians, and the distribution of meridians in the human body is very complex and extensive, so the circulation route of Internal Qi is also very complex."

"And when cultivating, you will feel like every part of your body is being bitten by countless ants, completely different from the usual method of impacting with Internal Qi. You will understand when you cultivate. This cultivation method makes the body improve faster and more perfectly because it refines every subtle part of the body, inside and out, in a very uniform and coordinated manner. Traditional body refining methods cannot achieve this level."

"Alas! I really don't know who created this Body Refining Art. It's truly brilliant. The person who created this technique must have been an exceptionally talented individual."

"It's just that this Body Refining Art is an incomplete version. It states that the technique is divided into nine stages, but here there is only the cultivation method for the first five stages. I have only cultivated to the fourth stage, and I am already at the Sixth Order, with combat power comparable to the Seventh Order. I truly wonder how powerful it will be to reach the ninth stage!" Old Ent sighed with emotion.

Chen Yun was already captivated and longed to cultivate such a divine art immediately.

Seeing Chen Yun's expression, Old Ent could tell what he was thinking, but the difficulty and danger of cultivating this technique weighed heavily on his heart. No one understood the pain of cultivating this technique better than he did.

Although long-term cultivation would make the body immune to this pain, the pain would become more terrifying as cultivation progressed, especially during breakthroughs. If even slightly careless, one could end up exploding and dying. He almost died when he entered the fourth stage.

Thinking back, he still felt a chill run down his spine. Now Old Ent regretted taking out this Body Refining Art, and even more so for letting Chen Yun cultivate his physical body. However, considering Chen Yun's tenacious nature and his heaven-defying Dragon Blood lineage, Old Ent was still full of hope for Chen Yun.

Old Ent said to Chen Yun with a solemn expression, "Little Chen, are you really sure you want to cultivate? Once you embark on this path, it is destined to be full of difficulties and dangers."

Chen Yun trembled, and his eyes shot out a determined gaze that shocked even Old Ent. He said solemnly, "Grandpa, I've decided. I must cultivate. I, Chen Yun, am not afraid of hardship or risk. Fortune favors the bold! I believe I can succeed!"

"Hahaha... Well said, 'Fortune favors the bold'! Good! Grandpa has faith in you. Then let's start now!"

Saying that, Old Ent handed the Body Refining Art in his hand to Chen Yun. "You can take a look at it yourself first and familiarize yourself with it. I will explain it to you slowly later."

Chen Yun took the book, his heart surging as he opened the first page. It did not describe the cultivation method, but only a line of text: "This book was created by my comprehension of the universe's stars and the world's destiny, containing the profound principles of the vast heaven and earth. It is my proudest work!"

Seeing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but gasp. Too exaggerated! The universe? Principles of heaven and earth? I really don't know which legendary figure this is, to dare to boast so boldly, containing everything?

After sighing, he turned to the next page. What appeared before his eyes was an incredibly complex and intricate human body diagram, which made even the intelligent Chen Yun's eyes blur and his head spin. He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. As expected, such a divine art was not easy to cultivate. This diagram alone was enough to give him a headache.

Suddenly, "Huh?" In his distress, Chen Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.
