The night is as dark as ink, and the stars and moon have no light.
Deep in Ye Family Ancestral Residence, in a quiet room, the lights flickered, reflecting the handsome and calm face of Ye Ruilin.
He sat cross-legged, with a simple book spread out in front of him, which was the basic chapter of "Body Secret Canon" that Li Fangu had given him before leaving.
The booklet is made of some unknown animal skin. It is warm to the touch and carries the vicissitudes of time.
There are no gorgeous decorations on the cover, only three clumsy large characters, which seem to contain some kind of wild and heavy power.
Ye Ruilin Take a deep breath, get rid of distracting thoughts, and immerse yourself in it.
His fingertips ran across the slightly rough leather pages, and lines of text came into view.
The opening chapter of <Body Secret Canon> explains the core concept of the Body Sect - putting oneself first and all laws returning to the origin.
It is believed that Martial Soul's strength is rooted in Soul Master's own physique.
Only by tempering the physical body to the extreme can it bear the stronger power of Martial Soul, and even... touch the legendary transformation of Martial Soul.
Its cultivation method can be described as simple and crude, but it goes straight to the core.
Using Soul Power as the hammer and will as the anvil, every inch of the body's muscles and bones, every meridian, and even every cell are subjected to almost cruel forging and tempering.
Withstand, collapse, repair, and endure again... over and over again, seeking the sublimation of the body in the extreme oppression again and again.
"Interesting..."
Ye Ruilin's eyes flashed with a strange color.
He can feel the wisdom contained in this technique, which is the path that countless Body Sect predecessors have tried their own way and explored with their blood, sweat and even their lives.
Its core idea is similar to some of the body-training methods he knew in his previous life, but it also carries the Martial Soul mark unique to this world.
However, as he read further, Ye Ruilin frowned slightly.
He discovered that although <Body Secret Canon> was heading in the right direction, it seemed... missing the most critical link.
It only emphasizes "breaking" and the extreme oppression of the physical body, but ignores the importance of "establishing" and how to more effectively guide vitality and reshape the foundation after destruction.
In particular, it barely mentions the role of spiritual power in tempering the physical body and guiding Martial Soul's transformation.
The control and use of vitality are even more superficial.
"Forging with brute force is like a blacksmith swinging a hammer. Although it can be tempered into steel, it ultimately lacks spirituality and charm..."
Ye Ruilin whispered to himself softly, with deep eyes.
"This may be the reason why Body Sect has many powerful people, but it has always been difficult to give birth to an existence that in the true sense allows Martial Soul to complete the ultimate transformation and step into the realm of God."
He thought of his Martial Soul's Second Awakening.
It is not simply physical training, but a perfect combination of Soul Power, spiritual power, and vitality. In the ultimate destruction, a glimmer of hope is found, and then Nirvana is reborn.
Soul Power is like a millstone, crushing old shackles, spiritual power is like a carving knife, imprinting new rules, and vitality is like rain, nourishing new potential.
Only one of the three is indispensable, can it be broken and then established, completing the transition of life, making Martial Soul truly reborn and possessing "divine" nature.
"Body Sect's seniors are already standing outside the threshold. All they have to do is... pierce the window paper."
Ye Ruilin's eyes flickered, and an idea gradually became clear in his mind.
Senior Li Fangu gave me the secret book. This is a kind gesture.
Ye Family has just been established, and strong support is rare. Body Sect is powerful. If it can take a further step, it will be beneficial to the mainland structure and Ye Family's future.
What's more, he has a good impression of Li Fangu's honest and frank character.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ruilin no longer hesitated.
He took out a piece of white animal skin paper, used his fingertip condensed Soul Power as a pen, dipped it in special ink, and started writing.
He did not directly deny <Body Secret Canon>, but supplemented and improved it on its basis.
He elaborated on how to use mental power to accurately impact specific nodes of the physical body and stimulate deep potential.
How to mobilize Soul Power to form a specific pressure field, and use the power of Simulation to temper your body.
The most important thing is that he pointed out the core role of life force and how to use special methods to absorb, transform and utilize life energy to the maximum extent when the physical body is on the verge of collapse, completing a perfect cycle of breaking and then standing again.
"Soul Power forges his bones, his spiritual thoughts forge his soul, and his vitality contains his spirit... Only in destruction can we see eternity..."
Words containing profound truths flow out from the pen of Ye Ruilin.
This is not only a supplement to the Body Sect method, but also a higher-level explanation, a... real road leading to Martial Soul Second Awakening.
When the last character fell, there seemed to be an invisible Daoist rhyme flowing in the quiet room.
The writing on the piece of animal skin paper was dark, but it faintly exuded a strange and thick wave full of vitality.
Ye Ruilin breathed a long sigh of relief, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
I believe senior Li Fangu will like this "gift".
The next morning.
The morning sun was rising, and the golden light filled Ye Family Ancestral Residence, dispelling the last bit of night chill.
In the square in front of the ancestral house, the atmosphere was slightly solemn.
Ye Zhentian and other Ye Family senior executives, as well as Ye Ruixuan and other younger generations, are seeing off Li Fangu.
After yesterday's celebration, the news of the Ye Family's return to the mainland has spread. The next step must be a busy integration and development stage. As the leader of the Body Sect, Li Fangu naturally cannot stay for a long time.
"Brother Ye, everyone, please just say goodbye!"
Li Fangu has a cheerful personality, holding his fists and speaking loudly.
"Ye Family Qilin, you really deserve your reputation. Yesterday's celebration really opened my eyes."
"If necessary in the future, feel free to summon Body Sect. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"
Ye Zhentian smiled slightly and cupped his hands.
"Brother Li, you're very polite. By coming here this time, you have given Ye Family a huge favor. I hope you and I will visit you more in the future."
At this moment, a figure walked slowly and slowly.
It is Ye Ruilin.
In his hand, he held the piece of animal skin paper on which he wrote last night.
"Senior Li, please stay."
Ye Ruilin walked closer, smiled and spoke.
Li Fangu stopped and looked at Ye Ruilin with admiration in his eyes. "Young man Ye, what's the matter?"
The Ye Family people around, including Ye Zhentian, also looked over curiously.
Ye Ruilin didn't say much, but solemnly handed the animal skin paper in his hand to Li Fangu.
"The junior studied <Body Secret Canon> given by the senior last night and gained a little bit. I wrote down some insights. Maybe it can be a reference for the cultivation of the Body Sect."
His tone was calm, as if he was just handing over an ordinary reading note.
Li Fangu was startled for a moment, then laughed and reached out to take it.
"Oh? Your understanding is quite good. You gained some insights overnight."
"Okay, I will take a closer look when I get back."
He originally thought it was some insights from Ye Ruilin as a beginner, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. He just took it over casually out of the elder's encouragement to the younger one.
