Chapter 1904 - 522: Reforging the Flesh, Repaying Debts (Part 2)

Yu Ziqing felt the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation and sighed helplessly.

"Is it really necessary? After all, I gave my everything to maintain the foundation of the current world.

And now, simply condensing a mortal body will also bring about a Heavenly Tribulation?

Is there any justice?

Come on, come on, bring it.

I guarantee I won't resist, since resisting now is useless anyway."

Yu Ziqing took a couple of steps back, indicating that he had stepped aside, letting the Heavenly Tribulation come.

However, the black clouds of the Heavenly Tribulation, did not even enter Jinlan Mountain, staying outside, hundreds of miles away, with only the continuous thunder, like an angry roar.

Yet, Yu Ziqing felt as if it were a cat with drooping eyelids and dead fish eyes, lazily roaring, just for show.

The thunder clouds rolled and roared a few times, with a flash of thunder light flickering briefly within the tribulation clouds.

Then, the black clouds silently dissipated, coming quickly and dispersing just as swiftly.

Yu Ziqing sighed regretfully.

Didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

Though now, he truly didn't need to absorb the Heavenly Tribulation.

But it had become a habit; despite it being useless, he still wanted to absorb some.

Yu Ziqing waved his hand, and the wooden bed floating three feet in the air carried Shi away.

Shi now was just an ordinary elderly body, practically paralyzed, needing care.

Yu Ziqing sent Shi to the village, asking the village chief to arrange someone to take care of him.

After sending Shi away, Yu Ziqing turned his head to look at the sundial shadow behind him, sighing.

This heretical Secret Technique was indeed useful, remains powerful no matter what, without worrying about consumption, injuries, etc.

But thinking about the debt later on, my heart feels uncomfortable.

Yu Ziqing didn't like using it much, because sometimes he wasn't sure if he could pay off the debt, even without interest it's terrifying.

Feeling the state of judgment not yet concluded, Yu Ziqing closed his eyes and pondered.

The Dao of Order progressed rapidly, as what he had done before was the most correct practice in maintaining order.

He pondered a bit on the Hungry Ghost Path and then directly skipped it.

There's nothing much to ponder, no inherent bottleneck, just proceed step by step.

He continued to ponder Body Refinement, searching for methods and opportunities for breakthroughs.

But after less than a two-hour session, Yu Ziqing abandoned attempting breakthroughs.

Because while he found methods, he couldn't breakthrough right now.

Trying forcibly now would risk, once the sundial shadow disappears, being unable to repay the debt...

Even as the creator of the Dharma Method, holding an interest-free loan, could not repay.

The most practical approach was to ponder, not consume power.

He didn't want to use information to obtain what he desired.

If everything is easy to know and obtain, it loses its fun.

After more than a two-hour session, Yu Ziqing glanced at the sundial shadow behind, striving to repay the debt while strength was enhanced.

The borrowed strength from judgment on him was used by Yu Ziqing to repay.

Using it now or never.

When the strength dipped, and most of the mysteriosity dissipated, the sundial shadow behind slowly dispersed.

And then the strength gained from judgment also dissipated, normalizing him.

Yu Ziqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was right, borrowed too much this time.

Last time, he just used the second Divine Skill, accelerated thinking to the extreme, feeling large consumption, even the physical body struggling, at his current Realm, feeling immense consumption.

This time, merely maintaining the highest intensity of conscious thinking limit, the consumption definitely exceeded last time.

If not for the sundial shadow, his consciousness would have instantly been dragged back to the physical body.

Thankfully, thanks to the Ancient Sea God's blessing, the power gained was enough for debt repayment.

After repaying the debt, Yu Ziqing felt at ease, laying on the ground, looking at the juice not far away.

"Juice, do you think, am I completely settled now?"

The juice swayed lightly but said nothing.

"Time for a nap, knowing too much isn't good, need to control this ability, use it sparingly."

Yu Ziqing closed his eyes, consciousness sinking in silence, Primordial Spirit and body together fell asleep.

He wasn't quite used to seeing something, and the mind automatically leaps to understand its essence.

If he were still a mortal, he'd definitely be ecstatic.

But now, he needed sufficient unknown to sustain.

He started understanding the feelings of Yang and others, when everything researched is known and thoroughly understood, yet no unknown found, it could be immensely despairing.

He also began truly understanding the Yang-destroying Devil, comprehending the Undying Mandala.

Upon reaching the end yet discovering no new path, is great terror.

For now, he aimed to deepen and embed this ability, minimizing its use.

Otherwise, a long life ahead would be torment, not enjoyment.

Yu Ziqing fell asleep, while on the other side, the village chief received Yu Ziqing's news.

He arranged Shi properly, inviting the village's most experienced to care for Shi.

Once settled, he went to the southwest corner of Jinlan Mountain's Forbidden Land, gazing at Yu Ziqing sleeping peacefully, glanced from afar, then quietly retreated, notifying others that Yu Ziqing was in retreat and not to disturb.

Shi settled at Jinlan Mountain, cared for by a seemingly clumsy, powerful chef, without accidentally breaking Shi's bones.

Slowly, Shi first adapted to using eyes to watch.

Gradually, adapted to walking, eating daily.

Even not eating grains, just consuming Grain Avoidance Pills, required the chef to integrate them into Spiritual Liquid for feeding.

He adapted slowly, taking a full month to relearn walking, eating, speaking.

He had lost his body and everything for far too long.

Three months later, the village chief held a bowl of noodles, squatting at the village entrance with Shi, watching Er Han being mobbed from afar, slurping loudly.

Putting down the bowl, brewed some tea, continued watching the spectacle.

"Really lively." Shi watched the butcher slash Er Han to a bloody mess, exclaiming.

"Not as good as Ziqing, at least Ziqing can spar with me, won't be killed.

Er Han still can't, just shouting pain, affecting movements.

Lacks training."

"At least these bodies are much sturdier than ours were." Shi enjoyed watching Jinlan Mountain's Body Cultivation.

Because back then, there wasn't Body Cultivation at all.

Despite strength, the physical body wasn't weak like mortals, but compared to now's Body Cultivation, body seemed weak like paper.

He'd unconsciously think, had there been Body Cultivation then, how many fewer deaths might there have been.

He agreed with the village chief's philosophy, at home countless chances for injury.

But when truly facing the enemy, perhaps only one chance left for injury.

Getting beaten at home is far better than dying when venturing out.

Rarely would someone instantly agree with the village chief's concept, both Shi and the chief were instant comrades.

One truly powerless old man, but with a great background, another, skinny and weak, feigned powerless, they conversed happily.

Several months passed, Shi felt recovered enough, can't hold back anymore.

He wanted to try new things, like Body Refinement.

Coming to Jinlan Mountain without refining body would be a waste of such opportunity.

Three years later, when Yu Ziqing awoke from deep sleep, leisurely arriving at the village entrance.

He saw two frail old men sparring fiercely, the sound of crashing punching echoing.

Seeing the two figures, Yu Ziqing couldn't help scratching his head.

Hadn't he slept just two or three years? Shi not only recovered but started Body Refinement, at Third-tier already.

The village chief's power control had long reached perfection, his skinny weak appearance proved power held below Third-tier.

Otherwise, merely grazing would cause Shi to explode.

Yu Ziqing smiled as he watched, eventually bursting into laughter.

Such an amusing sight, a Dao Opener of Refining God Dao starting Body Refinement.
