"Body tempering? Not even dogs would practice it!"—Chu Huai Xu.
--
Inside the Bamboo House, the young man in the Black Robe sat on a meditation cushion. His face was flushed, his entire body began to break out in a hot sweat, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
Chu Huai Xu clenched his teeth, feeling as if he were about to be driven mad.
The pain he was experiencing now was vastly different from what he had felt while practicing the Sword Refining Art.
The Sword Refining Art relied on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to temper his body, using his own flesh as the Sword Embryo and subjecting it to the hammering of Spiritual Energy.
It was a kind of pain that went from the outside in.
What the Dao Canon brought him now was a portion of Spiritual Power entering the Spiritual Embryo Treasury, where it felt warm and comfortable.
Another portion of the Spiritual Power surged toward his flesh, bringing a kind of pain that went from the inside out!
--Tsk! This was a completely new kind of pain!
As the Spiritual Power within his body continued to increase, the burden on his flesh also grew heavier and heavier.
Chu Huai Xu ground his teeth in hatred. Then he suddenly remembered the words written in the Booklet that introduced the Dao Canon: balanced and harmonious.
You call this balanced and harmonious?
The pain continued to intensify, reaching its peak at the instant he broke through his realm.
Han Shuangjiang, next door, had just been preparing to close her eyes and cultivate when she heard a familiar scream of agony.
She had long since grown accustomed to it and no longer found it strange.
A playful smile appeared on the girl's face
