As usual, using the Power of Incense Offerings to aid his understanding, Yin Yunze went through the Animal Realm's Cultivation Method once.

Then, Yin Yunze discovered that the Animal Realm was a completely different cultivation method from the Hungry Ghost Path.

The path of Hungry Ghost Path cultivates Dharma forms, which can improve one's cultivation level, but in reality, the final cultivation must be based on the Prison-Suppressing Wisdom King Dharma Form.

Compared to the Prison-Suppressing Wisdom King Dharma Form, the body is more like the vessel for activating the Dharma form.

Although the name "Animal Realm" sounds unpleasant, it is a genuine cultivation Cultivation Method.

The Hungry Ghost Path is about cultivating Divine Ability forms outside the body, while the Animal Realm is about cultivating the physical strength of the body itself.

The Animal Realm doesn't have as many fancy moves Hungry Ghost Path; all they need is to cultivate a powerful body.

In fact, all the skills in the Animal Realm are only those few skills Qi Refining Realm.

However, there were later extended versions of those skills.

I wonder if the person who created this Animal Realm Cultivation Method thought that ordinary demons only needed to train their bodies.

Comparing the two Cultivation Method of these two paths, Yin Yunze discovered that, in terms of refinement alone, the Hungry Ghost Path was indeed superior to the Animal Realm.

However, this Animal Realm Cultivation Method happens to make up for one of Yin Yunze's current shortcomings.

In close combat, Yin Yunze is still too weak.

While mortal martial arts can compensate for this deficiency to some extent, they are ultimately no match for body cultivation Cultivation Method.

The emergence of this Animal Realm Cultivation Method can compensate for Yin Yunze's current deficiency of being merely a cannon mage.

Moreover, and most importantly, as both are part of the Six Divisions Infinite Scripture, the cultivation of the Hungry Ghost Path and the Animal Realm will not interfere with each other.

There is no issue with the realms of Hungry Ghost Path and Animal Realm, where you can only cultivate one of them.

The only problem that would hinder cultivators is that if they cultivate simultaneously, both their energy and the consumption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would increase exponentially.

For those at the Golden Core Realm, the Spiritual Qi of a single prefecture is more than enough to sustain both of them.

However, once they reach the Flower Nurturing Realm, they will probably only be able to maintain a single advancement.

Through the connection between the Hungry Ghost Path and the Animal Realm, Yin Yunze suddenly had an idea.

Do these Six Divisions Infinite Scripture represent six different Cultivation Practice Method?

Moreover, whether by coincidence or not, Yin Yunze discovered that this Animal Realm Cultivation Method also had manifestations corresponding to the number six.

The final stage of cultivating the Animal Realm Cultivation Method mainly involves cultivating the brain (three flowers) and the five internal organs (five energies).

The Hungry Ghost Path, though it only cultivates five skills, eventually achieves a complete form called the Six-Wheel Wisdom King Dharma Form.

In fact, if we consider the Asura Battle Body as a skill dialogue...

The Hungry Ghost Path actually involves cultivating six paths.

However, one of the skills was taught to another evil spirit on his behalf.

Based on the imaginative plots of many novels that Yin Yunze had read before, Yin Yunze guessed that these Six Divisions Infinite Scripture might be Cultivation Practice Method in six different directions.

Ultimately, cultivation may require unifying the six parts into a single entity.

However, since the records of this Animal Realm Cultivation Method also stop at the Qi Nurturing Realm, Yin Yunze's guess was purely speculative.

However, if we follow this line of reasoning, Yin Yunze speculates.

The Dao Integration Realm of these Six Divisions Infinite Scripture might very well be the record of the six scriptures returning to oneness.

Each of these Six Divisions Infinite Scripture, when considered individually, is an exquisite and unparalleled Cultivation Method.

In the final stage of cultivation in the Animal Realm, one's golden body remains indestructible, and one's physical body achieves sainthood.

The ultimate cultivation of the Hungry Ghost Path leads to invincibility and unbreakability, making one invincible among those of the same level.

With just one skill, it's enough to make one stand out in the world of cultivation.

Yin Yunze found it hard to imagine just how terrifying the tycoon would be after the six parts were combined.

However, precisely because of this, the difficulty of these Six Divisions Infinite Scripture is unimaginable.

To succeed in cultivation, one must practice Cultivation Method of equal difficulty six times.

If he couldn't achieve that, Yin Yunze felt that the upper limit of this kung fu might only be the Dao Integration Realm.

Of course, these are just wild guesses based on the information available about Yin Yunze.

It cannot be ruled out that there may be methods in these Cultivation Method where one can advance further by practicing only one aspect.

However, these things are too far removed from Yin Yunze's reach.

After all, Yin Yunze was only a minor figure who had just entered the Golden Core Realm in the path of cultivation.

However, precisely because of this, the appearance of this Animal Realm Cultivation Method was quite a coincidence.

If it had been any later, Yin Yunze might have missed the first crucial point of the Animal Realm Cultivation Method.

After carefully studying it, Yin Yunze got up and went to a secluded spot where he wouldn't disturb others.

As the Great Gate of Incense opened, the mortal body stepped out of the real world.

"You've got some serious fun—"

Too lazy to listen to the ramblings of the mortal body, the divine body decisively transformed into a stream of light and returned to the Qingnü Temple. After entering the Dao Field, it returned all its consciousness to the mortal body.

Having gained full consciousness, Yin Yunze naturally stopped complaining.

Looking at the tribulation clouds that had gathered again in the sky because of his appearance, Yin Yunze couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Then, Yin Yunze stood there without any warning, quietly waiting for the heavenly lightning to strike.

Without other people as sources of interference, Yin Yunze did not have to wait long for this Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

As a bolt of purple lightning struck him, Yin Yunze felt a sharp, stabbing pain all over his body.

Yin Yunze, however, could not defend against the power of the heavenly lightning. Instead, he had to use the Authority over Lightning to control the lightning within his body to prevent it from dissipating.

Then, under these circumstances, Yin Yunze began to practice the Golden Core Stage Cultivation Method of the Animal Realm, Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering.

During this Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering, Yin Yunze had to endure much more suffering than ordinary cultivators who practiced Animal Realm Cultivation Method.

Because the Animal Realm is a physical cultivation Cultivation Method, the cultivation before the Illuminating Mystery Realm is about improving physical strength.

In comparison, Yin Yunze previously cultivated the Hungry Ghost Path, so his physical strength was naturally much weaker.

In other words, Yin Yunze's body had already been modified by the Power of Incense Offerings using the template of Innate Holy Spirit, and after obtaining the Authority over Lightning, Yin Yunze naturally gained resistance to thunder.

With these two advantages, although Yin Yunze's body is not as resilient as that of a cultivator from the Animal Realm, it is only slightly less capable of dealing with heavenly lightning.

Therefore, Yin Yunze was able to barely undergo the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering at the Golden Core Realm.

"Hiss! It's a cat's!"

However, while one may be able to endure it, the unpleasant experience is something only the person experiencing it truly understands.

His entire body bristled from the electric shock, and Yin Yunze jumped up and cursed, "What kind of masochistic kung fu is this! Whoever created this Cultivation Method must have a screw loose!"

They probably understood that very few people who have been struck by lightning could remain sitting still after being electrocuted repeatedly.

Therefore, this Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Method doesn't really care about the physical actions of the cultivator during cultivation.

Although both used the power of heavenly lightning to enhance themselves, the divine body at that time was strengthened with the Authority over Lightning. In addition, the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag could dispel excess Power of Lightning, and the Dynastic Karmic Luck and the Power of Frost and Snow could be used for defense.

Therefore, even though the divine body faced more and stronger heavenly lightning at that time, it did not experience much pain.

However, Yin Yunze is now not only physically struck by lightning, but also has to find a way to trap the Power of Lightning within his body.

In short, it means "to invite trouble upon oneself."

This feeling was naturally much more uncomfortable than when the divine body was consolidating its power over lightning.

Of course, despite the cursing, Yin Yunze endured the discomfort and continued to circulate the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering of the Animal Realm.

We've already endured all this; if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Fortunately, although it was extremely unpleasant, Yin Yunze actually discovered that by circulating the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Technique of the Animal Realm Cultivation Method, many impurities within her mortal body were indeed expelled from her body.

With his current Divine Sense, Yin Yunze could clearly feel the increase in his physical strength.

This Cultivation Method is truly unbearable, but the improvement is also clearly visible.

With great difficulty, Yin Yunze managed to neutralize and absorb the first bolt of heavenly lightning.

Then, the second bolt of lightning, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately struck.

"Meow!"

It meowed again after being struck by lightning, but luckily, practice makes perfect.

This time, Yin Yunze absorbed the power of heavenly lightning much faster.

Moreover, it's unclear whether it's just Yin Yunze's imagination.

Yin Yunze felt that the power of the heavenly lightning seemed a little easier to bear than before.

As she absorbed the third bolt of heavenly lightning, Yin Yunze realized that it wasn't just her imagination.

Indeed, as physical strength increases, the discomfort caused by the power of heavenly lightning decreases rapidly.

As the fourth bolt of lightning struck, although it was still painful, it was at least not as bad as the first three, which made Yin Yunze scream and jump up and down.

While absorbing the fourth Heavenly Thunder, Yin Yunze had an epiphany, probably because Yin Yunze was a latecomer to the art.

If it were a normal cultivator practicing the Animal Realm, the power they would withstand from the first Heavenly Lightning would be roughly equivalent to Yin Yunze absorbing the power of the fourth Heavenly Lightning.

After all, although the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering of the Animal Realm doesn't care about the cultivator's Cultivation Method, it's still a bit embarrassing to be struck by lightning and make a fuss and jump around.

Moreover, only Yin Yunze, who wields the Authority over Lightning and is a half-step Prefecture God, can achieve this.

Only then can one continue cultivating while being struck and meowing.

If it were a decent person, they would have been struck dead the moment the first bolt of lightning struck.

However, this was also because the first three bolts of heavenly lightning only brought Yin Yunze back to the level of a true cultivator.

Therefore, relatively speaking, Yin Yunze's Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering is somewhat inferior to that of a traditional Animal Realm cultivator who can complete the entire process.

After all, without the power of three heavenly lightning bolts, the body tempering progress is reduced by one-third.

However, there's no need to worry about that.

In fact, theoretically, the perfect effect is to absorb nine Golden Core lightning bolts and push the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering to a minor completion stage.

In reality, only a small number of people can completely absorb all nine heavenly lightning bolts.

Most people, and perhaps not even, can match Yin Yunze's resilience and efficiency.

After all, not everyone is like Yin Yunze, possessing the Authority over Lightning to prevent the dissipation of heavenly lightning.

Therefore, although the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation is an opportunity, there are also methods to continue tempering the body by using natural lightning in the subsequent Golden Core Realm cultivation.

In fact, the records of the Animal Realm Cultivation Method even include several locations where lightning strikes are likely to occur.
