Indestructible Golden Body

So fierce?

Gu Fengchen swallowed hard. Thirty Dou Zongs?

In the Gu Clan, thirty Dou Zongs might not amount to much, but out in the world, thirty Dou Zongs were absolutely a formidable force capable of stirring up massive waves.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Nanhai added, "However, this sword, 'Instant,' is too heavy. Those of insufficient cultivation struggle just to wield it, while the experts capable of using it don't particularly like swords, so it has remained here all this time."

Gu Fengchen nodded, then asked, "Then... can I take this sword?"

"Take it, hahaha. It's useless sitting here anyway." Gu Nanhai laughed heartily.

"Don't I need to pay points for it?"

"No, no. Just take it."

Clan Head Gu Yuan thought highly of this youth, and Gu Nanhai also felt that there was an indescribable quality about him. Besides, the sword truly was rather useless and had been sitting here for a long time. Since Gu Fengchen liked it, he might as well do him a favor.

Aside from that sword, Gu Fengchen used his remaining points to exchange for a Mysterious Tier Low-Grade Movement Dou Skill, the "Forest Strolling Technique."

"Forest Strolling Technique": You will perceive the true mysteries of flexibility and swiftness. Those seemingly awesome afterimages will appear as clear as stains on white paper to you...

Because of his limited points, Gu Fengchen agonized over his choice for a long time before selecting this Movement Dou Skill.

After all, he was still far too weak. Even if he relied on the Taotie Seal, it would still need time to develop.

If he could not even evade an enemy's attacks, he would simply be taking a beating. Others had combat experience, but he did not.

He had transmigrated here. Given Earth's environment, his own lazy mindset, and his cowardly fighting style, he had no combat experience whatsoever aside from attacking below an opponent's dantian. He had to pick a movement skill to save his own skin.

The value of movement speed and reactive dodging was something experts of every level ought to treasure.

It was like Ultra Rapid Fire in LoL—no one would refuse a turtle faster than light...

After leaving the Scripture Repository, Gu Fengchen took several twists and turns before returning to his residence.

The Ancient Realm where the Gu Clan resided was enormous, so every clan disciple had a courtyard of their own.

Gu Fengchen's courtyard was only around ten square meters, yet it had been neglected for so long that its paths were overgrown and no pines or chrysanthemums remained.

The courtyard was crisscrossed with earthen trenches, forming a strange pattern.

Large chunks of jade had even been placed at the nodes of the pattern.

This was a basic formation. Cultivating within it would yield twice the results with half the effort, but if one's innate talent was poor, the formation would not be of much help.

After returning to his courtyard, Gu Fengchen did not immediately absorb "Instant." He was unsure whether absorbing it would cause him to fall unconscious again, so he first turned his attention to the Earth Rank Cultivation Technique Gu Xun'er had given him.

The technique was extremely straightforward. Every page contained diagrams of the human body, without any written annotations. The illustrations flowed together smoothly and were already detailed enough.

As expected of an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique. It looked incomparably profound, involving complex methods of stimulating the internal organs. It was certainly no simple technique.

This technique was called the Indestructible Golden Body Technique.

It was divided into three stages: Bronze Body, Silver Body, and Golden Body. Once the Golden Body was achieved, one would be like a living golden Buddha, with fists like sledgehammers and palms like blades.

After reading the introduction to the Indestructible Golden Body Technique, Gu Fengchen was slightly stunned.

The function of this technique was somewhat similar to his Three Thousand Burning Flame Body.

However, the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body was more focused on recovery and self-healing, while the Indestructible Golden Body Technique placed greater emphasis on combat.

Once cultivated to mastery, one would transform into a Golden Body, indestructible and undying.

The only problem was that this technique was extraordinarily painful to cultivate.

Every cultivation session required one to vibrate every bone in the body, reverse one's meridians, crack every inch of bone, and tear open every inch of meridian.

Then, after tempering the bones with Dou Qi and expanding the meridians with Dou Qi, one had to repair them anew, thereby tempering the flesh and raising one's Root Bone.

When Gu Fengchen saw the words "raise one's Root Bone," his brows rose slightly.

"As expected of an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique. It can actually improve one's Root Bone? No wonder Xun'er gave me this technique. Wait, does that mean she still thinks my talent is lacking?"

Why was he being underestimated again?

Gu Fengchen was somewhat speechless. With his talent, he would definitely be considered a peerless genius in those smaller clans, but within the Gu Clan, he was truly somewhat mediocre. It had even made Gu Xun'er worry for him.

The cultivation method of the Indestructible Golden Body Technique was exceptionally painful. It was like tossing a piece of pig iron into a steelworks, heating it, hammering it, cooling it, then heating and hammering it again, gradually reducing the carbon content in the iron until the Dou Qi within one's body became purer, the meridians widened, and one was tempered into steel.

The Indestructible Golden Body Technique was a cultivation method similar to Body Cultivation.

The cultivator had to temper their body according to a special rhythm—for example, causing the internal organs to resonate, reversing the meridians, accelerating metabolism, and altering the physique. During the process, it might stimulate the adrenal glands, pineal gland, and so on. Ultimately, it would transform the body until one became impervious to blades and spears.

Once cultivated to mastery, one could indulge in nightly pleasures, with an unyielding divine spear.

Hiss, why did this feel a little improper?

Still, it was precisely because of that final line that this technique suited him very well.

With so many goddesses in Battle Through the Heavens, an unyielding divine spear was crucial.

"Root Method is also about improving oneself in every aspect. The Root Tendrils of cultivation must be planted in the Root Method."

However, what Gu Fengchen found amusing was that the greatest restriction on cultivating the Indestructible Golden Body Technique was not whether one could endure the agonizing pain of vibrating one's bones and reversing one's meridians, but whether one was still a Virgin Body.

Mm.

Gu Fengchen searched through his memories. He was only eleven years old, so he was definitely still a virgin.

The original owner seemed to have only let Xun'er warm his bed once and had never done anything excessive.

Oh dear, Xun'er was only five. If he had done that, he would have been nothing less than a beast.

Fortunately, he had transmigrated early. Otherwise, by the time he reached fifteen or sixteen, the title of virgin would probably have been stripped away.

This was not Gu Fengchen maliciously speculating. It was because the previous owner seemed to enjoy watching certain, well... unspeakable content.

The plots were actually similar to what Gu Fengchen had watched in his previous life. There would be a Fox Spirit saying, "Da Lang, drink your medicine," while also crying, "My lord, I want..."

When Gu Fengchen had first arrived, he had felt that this body was weak as hell. Its kidneys felt completely hollow, and even in the scorching heat, its entire body was cold.

It was reasonable to infer that the original owner of this body had definitely been a seasoned craftsman.

Perhaps that was why he had been given the chance to transmigrate.

Casting aside those distracting thoughts, Gu Fengchen focused entirely on cultivating the Indestructible Golden Body Technique.

Following the technique's requirements, he reversed the Dou Qi throughout his body and began cultivating. In an instant, Gu Fengchen sucked in a cold breath from the pain.

Every inch of his meridians felt as though it were being torn apart, as if his sinews and bones were being ripped out alive.

Gu Fengchen kept gasping in pain as his heart pounded violently.

His heart, like a red agate, suddenly erupted with a crimson glow—dazzlingly red and so crystalline that it was intoxicating.

In that instant, every inch of skin on his body split apart. At the same time, a stabbing pain came from his bones, as though someone were using an electric drill to bore bit by bit into his marrow.

Yet the benefits brought by this terrifying method of cultivation were equally terrifying.

As his body was ravaged by pain, Gu Fengchen felt a stream of heat flow into him.

Meanwhile, under the tempering of the Indestructible Golden Body Technique, his physical constitution was repeatedly hammered and rapidly metabolized.

If someone had been beside Gu Fengchen at that moment, they would have seen his body turn crimson red, every blood vessel expanding as blood flowed like a great river, rumbling as it surged.

The bones throughout his body were flawless and white, crackling as though they were being forged, an astonishing sight.

Sounds of tendons and bones shifting out of place continuously rang out from Gu Fengchen's body, followed by the sounds of them being forced back into place.

When he truly could not endure any more, Gu Fengchen stopped cultivating.

It had to be said that ordinary people genuinely had no way of cultivating this Indestructible Golden Body Technique.

Those with slightly weaker physiques would likely suffer fractured bones the moment they began cultivating. Even if they managed to endure it, they might lose the connections between their muscles and bones, becoming crippled for life.
