Chapter 400: Chapter 244: Vajra Body

After some effort, he finally managed to decipher a portion of its contents.

It turned out the stone stele recorded the history and secrets of this grotto.

This grotto had been the secluded residence of a Great Power who researched the Secret Medicine Martial Dao over a thousand years ago. It contained many hidden treasures and legacies.

This place was also one of the Great Wei dynasty’s first research sites for the Secret Medicine Martial Dao.

However, it was later sealed off.

As he continued to study the stele’s inscription, he discovered it also mentioned a mysterious Cultivation Technique.

This Cultivation Technique could be used to develop immense Physical Strength and was the culmination of that Great Power’s life’s work.

A glint of excitement flashed in Fang Yue’s eyes. He knew he had truly hit the jackpot this time.

This mysterious Cultivation Technique was enough to help him reach a whole new level on his Martial Dao path.

He eagerly began searching for the Cultivation Technique and finally discovered a hidden compartment beneath the stone stele.

Inside the compartment lay an ancient-looking tome. On its cover, four large characters written in ancient seal script spelled out: Dark Radiant Vajra Body.

Fang Yue carefully opened the tome. Every page was filled with exquisite cultivation Techniques and insights.

As he read, he gradually came to understand the profound mysteries of the Dark Radiant Vajra Body.

This Cultivation Technique focused on physical cultivation. Through specific cultivation Techniques and a Heart Method, it could temper one’s body until it was as indestructible as a vajra, while also containing immense power.

However, this Technique only seemed simple; in reality, it was incredibly domineering.

It placed extremely high demands on the Cultivator’s physical body. If one’s Talent was insufficient, forcing the cultivation would inevitably lead to the body’s disintegration and a gruesome death.

In the era it was created, very few people could cultivate it successfully. Even the founder of this Cultivation Technique ultimately died from his own body disintegrating.

Fang Yue continued reading the tome for the Dark Radiant Vajra Body, every word and every sentence deeply imprinting itself on his mind.

He knew that while this Cultivation Technique was domineering and dangerous, successfully cultivating it would cause his power to soar.

’Besides, I’m not worried my Talent won’t be able to keep up with the Technique’s demands.’

’After all, my Talent grows every day. I have nothing to worry about.’

Fang Yue took a deep breath and carefully tucked the tome for the Dark Radiant Vajra Body into his robes.

He knew this tome was the greatest prize from his expedition into the grotto, as well as the key to his future Martial Dao cultivation.

He didn’t leave the stone chamber immediately. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and circulate his energy.

He needed to restore the Primordial Qi in his body to its peak state as quickly as possible to prepare for any challenges that lay ahead.

As time passed, Fang Yue felt his condition gradually return to its peak. He stood up and began to search for another way out.

’A place like this must have another exit. It can’t possibly be the same way I came in.’

Leaving the stone chamber, Fang Yue started to sense the airflow within the cave. ’If I follow the current, I’m sure to find an exit.’

After leaving the stone chamber, Fang Yue stood in the darkness of the cave, quietly sensing the surrounding airflow.

His face was calm and determined, an air he had cultivated through numerous struggles on the brink of life and death.

The air in the cave was cold and damp, but to Fang Yue’s senses, the currents felt like invisible lines pointing toward an unknown exit.

He took a deep breath and slowly advanced, following the direction of the airflow. He took each step with extreme caution, ready to face any potential danger.

He tightly gripped the mysterious gemstone in his hand. Its warm glow provided a faint light for him in the darkness of the cave.

The cave twisted and turned, like an underground labyrinth. But Fang Yue didn’t panic. He remained calm and vigilant, following the airflow step by step.

After walking for what felt like an eternity, a faint ray of light suddenly appeared ahead. Fang Yue’s heart leaped with joy; he knew he had found the exit.

He quickened his pace, heading toward the light. The light grew brighter and brighter until, gradually, he could see the mouth of the cave.

It was a narrow crevice hidden in the stone wall, almost impossible to spot without careful observation.

But with his keen senses and unyielding will, Fang Yue had finally found this hidden exit.

He carefully squeezed through the crevice and emerged back on the surface. The sunlight that washed over him felt warm and familiar.

Fang Yue stood on solid ground and took a deep breath. He knew he had finally escaped from that dangerous and mysterious cave.

Recalling his experience in the cave, Fang Yue felt a wave of lingering fear. But he also knew this adventure had brought him immense rewards.

Not only had he uncovered the cave’s secrets, but he had also obtained a powerful Cultivation Technique.

Now, he needed to leave this place as soon as possible and find a safe location to cultivate this new Technique.

He believed that as long as he cultivated it successfully, his strength would increase dramatically. Then, he would be able to clear his name and uncover the truth behind who had framed him.

Fang Yue turned and departed, his figure gradually vanishing in the sunlight.

「At that very moment.」

At the spot where the Black Shadow had died, Yun Qing’s figure materialized.

"So he actually managed to kill him. It seems that boy is even stronger than I thought. Now this is getting interesting. It’s the perfect chance to let those others intercept him."

Yun Qing materialized from the concealing darkness. Gazing at the lifeless body of the Black Shadow on the ground, a wry, playful smile touched her lips.

"I thought sending him would be enough, but I still underestimated that boy’s strength," Yun Qing muttered to herself, a strange light glinting in her eyes.

She wasn’t discouraged by the Black Shadow’s failure. On the contrary, the strength Fang Yue had displayed only piqued her interest.

To Yun Qing, the stronger Fang Yue became, the more amusing this game would be.

She turned to leave the stone chamber, a new plan already forming in her mind.

"Those others must be getting impatient by now. It’s time for them to make their entrance." The corners of Yun Qing’s mouth lifted into an eerie smile.

Meanwhile, Fang Yue had already left the cave and was searching for a safe place to cultivate the Dark Radiant Vajra Body.

He didn’t hide deep in the mountains. Instead, he made his way to another city not far from Gongzhou Prefecture.

Fang Yue chose this city because its bustling crowds made it easy to hide his tracks, and it would also be easier to find the resources he needed for cultivation.

’Cultivation should be done in a comfortable place. I can’t be too hard on myself, after all.’

He found an inn to stay at. While it wasn’t large, its main advantage was its tranquility, as few people came by to cause a disturbance.

Crucially, it had a private courtyard, which was perfect for Fang Yue’s cultivation.

After settling in at the inn, Fang Yue eagerly prepared to begin cultivating the Dark Radiant Vajra Body.

He was well aware of how domineering and dangerous this Cultivation Technique was, so he proceeded with extreme caution.

After completing his preparations, Fang Yue took out the tome for the Dark Radiant Vajra Body and read it carefully one more time.

Every word and sentence of the tome contained the profound True Meaning of Martial Arts; he didn’t dare to be the least bit careless.

As his understanding of the tome deepened, Fang Yue gained an even clearer grasp of the cultivation Technique for the Dark Radiant Vajra Body.

He knew that this Cultivation Technique focused on tempering the body and consolidating power. It required using specific cultivation Techniques to guide the Primordial Qi within his body and continuously strengthen his physique.

Before beginning his cultivation, Fang Yue first prepared a special medicinal bath as described in the tome.

This medicinal bath, an essential component, would help him better temper his body during the cultivation process.

Once the medicinal bath was ready, Fang Yue stripped off his clothes and submerged himself in the steaming liquid.

The liquid, infused with the essence of various rare medicinal herbs, began to take effect the moment it touched Fang Yue’s skin.

He could clearly feel the energy from the liquid seeping into his body, nourishing every inch of his muscles and bones.

But this was immediately followed by extreme agony, so intense that Fang Yue couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

The pain was almost beyond his imagination, as if countless needles were piercing through his body. Every inch of his skin felt like it was being scorched by a blazing fire.

His face instantly turned pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he clenched his jaw and made no sound.

He knew this was a necessary part of cultivating the Dark Radiant Vajra Body. Only by enduring this extreme pain could he forge an indestructible physique.
