Consumed by Body Tempering

[Age 16: The three moves you taught Zhu Zhanshan caused a great uproar in the army. More than ten generals at the Innate Realm broke through to the Grandmaster Realm as a result, and the overall strength of the Great Ming army continued to grow. You casually helped Zhu Zhanshan open his eight extraordinary meridians, fully revealing your strength as one of the top three under heaven. Zhu Di believed you were a reclusive master indifferent to fame and fortune, who must have long since seen through rank and riches and was surely intent on shattering the void and ascending in broad daylight. He therefore sent you three Celestial Person Realm manuals through Zhu Zhanshan. The first was the Future Maitreya Sutra, a supreme Buddhist art Zhu Yuanzhang had obtained at Huangjue Temple. The second was the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, a supreme art of the Beggar Gang that Zhu Yuanzhang had obtained while wandering and begging for alms. The third was the Unborn Precious Scroll, a supreme art of the White Lotus Sect that Zhu Yuanzhang had obtained while overthrowing the Yuan-Mongol court!]

[Age 20: You recalled Zhang Sanfeng's teaching that a true swordsman should gather boundless might within himself, and began trying to bring Chaos Sword Intent into your body!]

[Age 24: Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor of Ming, passed away, and Zhu Zhanshan had to return to the Capital to pay his respects. On the eve of his departure from Mount Wudang, Zhu Zhanshan begged to formally become your disciple. You believed his ties to the mortal world were not yet severed and that he was not suited to following you and devoting himself to the sword, so you firmly refused. Full of regret, Zhu Zhanshan reluctantly left Mount Wudang!]

[Age 30: Chaos Sword Intent and Chaos Sword Qi became one, forming the infinitely profound Chaos Sword Gang. To test its power, you slashed a hundred-meter-long sword mark into a cliff near the Wudang Golden Summit. The faint Chaos Sword Gang lingering in the mark did not dissipate for a long time. Countless swordsmen of the jianghu came to examine it after hearing of its fame, and the occasional genius of extraordinary comprehension grasped Sword Intent from it!]

[Age 36: Zhu Zhanshan's fief was changed from Changsha Prefecture to Xiangyang Prefecture. During the move, he deliberately detoured to Mount Wudang to pay you a visit. You discovered that he was usually busy with official duties and had long neglected his Two Forms Swordsmanship, so you forcibly opened his twelve primary meridians, pulling up the seedlings to make them grow. Zhu Zhanshan reached the Grandmaster Realm. The faint Chaos Sword Gang remaining in his body caused his Two Forms Sword Qi to evolve into Taiji Sword Qi, and he comprehended Like Water Sword Intent. The highest good was like water; because it did not contend, no one under heaven could contend with it. Zhu Zhanshan's attacks were not powerful, but his defense could be called unbeatable among grandmasters!]

[Age 40: You recalled how the protagonists of certain webnovels flew beyond the atmosphere and used the Gang Qi of the nine heavens to temper their bodies, so you planned to use Chaos Sword Gang to temper yours!]

[Age 46: You used Chaos Sword Gang to temper your body and gained a Chaos Sword Body, but you were not satisfied. All martial artists knew that under normal cultivation, docile True Qi could nourish the meridians, but during Qi Deviation, violent True Qi would tear them apart. You believed your Chaos Sword Body had merely been nourished by docile Chaos Sword Gang, not tempered by violent Chaos Sword Gang, and was still at a preliminary stage!]

[Age 49: Knowing the plot, you arrived at Tumu Fortress ahead of time. Alone with your sword, you slaughtered your way through the Oirat army of a hundred thousand, saving the five hundred thousand elite troops of the Chief Military Commission of the Five Armies' hereditary nobility. The Great Ming Dynasty still retained the absolute power to suppress the five lakes and four seas. The various sects and schools of the jianghu merely mocked the Great Ming's War God Zhu Qizhen in secret as a brain-dead, muddle-headed ruler, but did not dare actually provoke the Great Ming court!]

[Age 56: Your Chaos Sword Body was progressing slowly when you suddenly remembered a webnovel by a platinum author who was all liver. You began trying to temper your bones, fantasizing that one day you would attain a Nine-Forging Golden Body. Even if only your head remained, you could use Imperishable Substance to rebuild your body, and even if you died without a scrap left, you could still come back to life hundreds or thousands of years later!]

[Age 60: You reached the peak first grade described in the webnovel, having finished tempering all 64 bones in your upper limbs!]

[Age 65: You reached the peak second grade described in the webnovel, having finished tempering all 62 bones in your lower limbs!]

[Age 70: You reached the high third grade described in the webnovel, having finished tempering all 51 bones in your torso!]

[Age 75: You reached the peak third grade described in the webnovel, having finished tempering all 29 bones in your skull!]

[Age 80: Following the fourth-grade realm described in the webnovel, you tried to temper your five viscera, but the effect was negligible!]

[Age 85: You tried to draw on Five Qi Converge at the Origin and use the power of the five elements to temper your five viscera, but Chaos Sword Gang was too domineering. As soon as the power of the five elements entered your body, it was refined by the Chaos Sword Gang!]

[Age 90: The essence of Chaos Sword Gang was the union of Chaos Sword Qi and Chaos Sword Intent. Since you could think of no solution in terms of energy, you could only look for one in terms of the spirit. It suddenly occurred to you that Sword Intent could advance into a Sword Domain, and a Sword Domain could advance into a Sword World. Could a Sword World isolate the Chaos Sword Gang?]

[Age 100: You came to Eastern Peak Mount Tai and used Mount Tai Swordsmanship to construct the Eastern Peak Sword Domain. Since the east among the sacred beasts of the five directions was the Yi Wood Azure Dragon, you absorbed wood-element Qi to construct the Eastern Peak Sword World. Finally, you brought the Eastern Peak Sword World into your liver!]

[Age 110: Following the same principle, you brought the Western Peak Sword World into your lungs!]

[Age 120: Following the same principle, you brought the Southern Peak Sword World into your heart!]

[Age 130: Following the same principle, you brought the Northern Peak Sword World into your kidneys!]

[Age 140: Following the same principle, you brought the Central Peak Sword World into your spleen!]

[Age 150: You reached the peak fourth grade described in the webnovel, having finished tempering all five viscera!]

[Age 160: Drawing on Five Qi Converge at the Origin, you created Five Worlds Converge at the Source and began tempering your other organs with the power of the five worlds in your five viscera!]

[Age 170: You reached the middle fifth grade described in the webnovel, having finished tempering all six bowels!]

[Age 180: You reached the peak fifth grade described in the webnovel, having finished tempering all your flesh and blood!]

[Age 190: Following the sixth-grade realm described in the webnovel, you tried to find the Triple Burner Mysterious Gate, but found nothing!]

[Age 200: You had to admit that the principles of cultivation were utterly different in different worlds. At the very least, Wuxia Great Ming had no Triple Burner Mysterious Gate, so you began trying to create something similar!]

[Age 210: By reverse-engineering Chaos Sword Intent, you obtained the Primordial Sword Domain!]

[Age 220: By reverse-engineering the Primordial Sword Domain, you obtained the Three Sword Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man!]

[Age 230: Using the Three Sword Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man as the Triple Burner Mysterious Gate, you finally reached the sixth-grade realm described in the webnovel!]

[Age 240: The seventh-grade realm in the webnovel involved using spiritual power to temper the skull. You decided to use Sword Intent instead!]

[Age 250: You reached the peak seventh grade described in the webnovel, having finished tempering all 29 bones in your skull. You did not rush to break through to the eighth-grade realm, but instead wanted to continue using Sword Intent to temper your other bones!]

[Age 260: You finished tempering all 51 bones in your torso!]

[Age 270: You finished tempering all 62 bones in your lower limbs!]

[Age 280: You finished tempering all 64 bones in your upper limbs!]

[Age 290: You reached the eighth-grade realm described in the webnovel and began attempting to attain a Nine-Forging Golden Body!]

[Age 300: Because your foundation was exceptionally solid, you easily attained a Six-Forged Golden Body!]

[Age 310: You attained a Seven-Forged Golden Body!]

[Age 320: You attained an Eight-Forged Golden Body!]

[Age 330: You encountered a bottleneck, and your cultivation stagnated. You began thinking of a way to break through it!]
