Qingyun Back Cliff.

After Ye Ping unleashed the Four Thunder Sword Intent, he couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air.

After half a day of effort, Ye Ping had completely mastered the Four Thunder Sword Intent.

Spring Thunder Sword Intent, Summer Thunder Sword Intent, Autumn Thunder Sword Intent, Winter Thunder Sword Intent – the four could be combined or separated.

When combined, they formed the Four Thunder Sword Intent, possessing the greatest power, which was what Ye Ping had just displayed.

If separated, their power would be diminished, but each individual Sword Intent could exhibit its unique characteristics.

Wiping the sweat beads from his forehead, Ye Ping showed a relieved smile.

"Now that I've completely mastered the Four Thunder Sword Intent, what's lacking is the Four Thunder Sword Intent."

"Although Senior Disciple Brother never mentioned how difficult it is to comprehend Sword Intent, I understand that Sword Intent represents the will of a sword technique. I absolutely cannot be too hasty. If I can't comprehend it, that's a minor issue. But if I comprehend it incorrectly, that would be troublesome."

Ye Ping thought to himself. Although Su Changyu hadn't provided detailed information about Sword Intent, Ye Ping's imagination filled in the gaps.

His reasoning wasn't just random speculation; it was based on his understanding of the Primordial God-Demon Body Refining Art.

"Senior Disciple Brother didn't give me this secret manual earlier or later, but chose this precise moment. Clearly, he's worried I'll be too impatient and comprehend the wrong Sword Intent."

"That's why he gave me the Primordial God-Demon Body Refining Art, to calm my mind, focus on my physical body, and give me an extra trump card, an additional means."

"Senior Disciple Brother truly has foresight."

Ye Ping murmured to himself.

However, he quickly dismissed his thoughts and took out the "Primordial God-Demon Body Refining Art" from his embrace.

He carefully retrieved the cultivation technique, his demeanor extremely solemn.

The secret manual was cyan, bound with thread, appearing very ancient, its edges yellowed, exuding an aura of antiquity.

But the more it was like this, the more excited Ye Ping became.

Opening the first page, lines of small text soon appeared, from right to left.

[Primordial God-Demon Body Refining Art]

I am Dao Venerable Moxuan. I was born before the genesis of heaven and earth. I have experienced three hundred and sixty million kalpas, ultimately achieving profound comprehension and becoming one with heaven and earth.

This cultivation technique was something I chanced upon, comprehending it from the essence of heaven and earth.

All beings in heaven and earth only know of Spirit Cultivation and are unaware of the power of Body Cultivation, viewing the moving of mountains as the limit of Body Cultivation.

However, true Body Cultivators can grasp the sun and moon, pluck stars from the sky, traverse the heavens with their physical bodies, and obliterate all existence with a single punch.

The highest realm of Body Cultivation, I believe, should emulate the gods and demons: a God-Treasured Demon Body, possessing the vital essence and blood of divine beings, and a true demonic physique, to achieve the God-Demon Body.

Cultivating this art will inevitably involve immense suffering and trials. It is not for the faint of heart; only those with great will, great perseverance, and great wisdom can master it.

Are you ready? ──

This was the introductory explanation of the "Primordial God-Demon Body Refining Art."

Upon reading this explanation, Ye Ping forgot to breathe.

These words were simply too domineering.

A God-Treasured Demon Body, grasping the sun and moon, plucking stars from the sky, shattering space with their bodies, annihilating all existence with a single punch.

Yes.

Yes.

This was definitely a peerless cultivation technique. No, this wasn't a peerless cultivation technique; it was an art of the Great Dao!

Ye Ping didn't know what words to use to describe the power of this cultivation technique.

One word.

Unsurpassed.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Ping did not turn to the second page but remained in thought.

He was contemplating whether he was truly ready.

The cultivation technique was very clear: to cultivate it, one must endure suffering unimaginable to ordinary people, requiring great will, great perseverance, and great wisdom.

If he wasn't prepared, he truly shouldn't act rashly.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Ye Ping finally made his decision.

"I am ready."

A resolute voice echoed in Ye Ping's heart.

He was prepared and fearless of anything. Although the process might be difficult, enduring the bitter hardships would lead to a superior existence.

With this thought, Ye Ping turned to the second page. ──

[Primordial God-Demon Art: Official Edition]

Excellent. The fact that you've opened this second page proves you possess great will. Whether you also have great perseverance and wisdom depends on your own fortune.

Next, you will find a God-Demon Diagram. It contains my insights into the heavens and earth regarding the God-Demon Body Refining Art. Study it carefully.

Upon seeing the second page, Ye Ping couldn't help but give himself a thumbs-up.

He was also deeply impressed. This cultivation technique was truly remarkable. It had already presented a significant challenge right at the beginning. If his mind hadn't been firm, he might have failed.

With that thought, Ye Ping wasted no time and began to examine the God-Demon Diagram that followed.

The third page.

Sky Gazing Diagram.

The image appeared before Ye Ping's eyes. Though it seemed simple, Ye Ping regarded it with utmost seriousness.

He was constantly studying the diagram.

Below the diagram was a detailed explanation.

[This diagram is named the Sky Gazing God-Demon Diagram. With arms outstretched, one merges with heaven and earth. This is the introductory method of the Primordial God-Demon Art. Once mastered, you can condense the power of heaven and earth, using the firmament as a hammer and the earth as a furnace to temper the physical body and forge a God-Demon Body.]

[If you are unable to comprehend it, you are not destined for this art. Insufficient comprehension means insufficient wisdom. Furthermore, diligent and diligent cultivation is required day and night. Those with sharp talent may achieve enlightenment at a glance, while those with dull talent may never grasp it in their lifetime.]

After reading the annotations, Ye Ping nodded. He then began to assume the Sky Gazing posture.

He closed his eyes, forgetting everything, with only this image in his mind.

Meanwhile.

In Chen State, Yan'an Prefecture.

Inside a civilian residence, a woman in purple was diligently writing under the light of an oil lamp.

The oil lamp flickered with the breeze. The woman's brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently. After three hours of continuous work, she finally put down her brush. She looked at the ancient book on the table with great satisfaction, then picked up the wine pot and took a large gulp.

Just then, a voice sounded from outside the door.

"Fairy Mo, are you done yet? It's almost the Zi hour. If you don't hand in the manuscript soon, it'll be trouble."

The urging voice called out from outside.

Inside the room, the woman in purple stood up, picked up the manuscript she had just finished writing, then opened the window and casually tossed it out to the person outside.

"Here, it's finished. Take a look."

The woman said nonchalantly.

"Finished? Let me see."

The middle-aged man outside the door took the manuscript and quickly flipped through it. After a moment, the frown on the middle-aged man's brow relaxed.

"Good, good, good! Fairy Mo, your brushwork is getting better and better. This book is definitely going to sell well. Good, good, good!"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily.

"Stop the nonsense. You still haven't paid me the full amount for the last book. Pay me now."

The woman said dismissively.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Fairy Mo. Would I cheat you in business? Here are one thousand taels of gold in bank notes. This is your share from the Tenfold Spirit Gathering Technique."

"That book, the Primordial God-Demon Body Refining Art, simply wouldn't sell. In total, less than three copies were sold. Fairy Mo, please don't write such exaggerated secret manuals anymore. No one believes them. Cultivators these days prefer things that are simple and direct."

"Look at that book on the bestseller list right now, how popular it is, selling the idea of getting ten times the effect from one spirit stone."

The middle-aged man rambled on outside the door.

"Alright, alright, I get it. Oh, and did you find out about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

The woman waved her hand, sounding a bit impatient.

"I found out. The Ten Nations Academy will officially start recruiting next year. Fairy Mo, I'll head back now to handle the manuscript. If you need anything, just have someone contact me later."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, then left after saying that.

The woman in purple didn't say anything further and returned to her desk to continue writing her secret manual.
