Chapter 256 - 134: Physical Body’s Limit, Purest Gang! Advancing the Top-Tier Outer Gang Scroll, Master Duan... Fallen?

Chapter 256: Chapter 134: Physical Body’s Limit, Purest Gang! Advancing the Top-Tier Outer Gang Scroll, Master Duan... Fallen?

Never mind those Celestial Pillar Mansions or places like Xuanjing and Cangdu for now.

At the very least, Ji Xiu was certain of one thing.

’In all of Jiangyin Prefecture...’

’The resources of those Grand Lineage Members couldn’t possibly have produced another person like me!’

’So, among the Prefecture Officials of my generation, who else is there but me?’

’Anning County is still too small.’

’One day, I will taste what it’s like to stand above even Jiangyin Prefecture!’

Once his Fist and Foot routine ended, he retracted his Gang Skill.

Ji Xiu held his breath and focused his mind, his Divine Soul stirring!

In that instant,

the Primordial Daoist Talisman glowed with a divine light, projecting strings of illusory information onto his Divine Soul!

[Tutor: Ji Xiu]

[Current Cultivation: Skin Refining Realm (Outer Gang)!]

[Martial Arts, Skill Dao: Turtle and Snake Grand Foundation Stake, Mortal Transformation: Soaring Dragon Gate, Ye Longxiang’s Head, Great Five Decline Celestial Saber ’First Decline’, Sword Mountain and Fire Sea Stance, Arrow Skill: Dusk Crows...]

[Traits: Waist and Horse Unity, Ten Steps One Kill, Calm Mind and Concentration, Profound Blood Flood Dragon Tendons, Dragon Descendant Treasure Bone...]

[Divine Power Immortal Seed: Mountain and Sea Search (58%) With Mountain Search at Perfection, you can become the lord of mountains and rivers. With Hunting the Sea, your Water Attribute will soar, allowing you to ride the wind and command the waves!]

Ye Longxiang’s Head was a Grandmaster Level Martial Art. Its core characteristic was its six-path essence; to fully comprehend and unify them was to reach the pinnacle of the art.

Therefore, it had no hidden ’Traits’ to be unearthed.

But even so, his mastery of this art was already enough to rival its creator, Ye Wenjiang.

Looking at the bountiful fruits of his labor, reaped step by step on his journey,

Ji Xiu felt quite satisfied and let out a long sigh of relief:

"Haaaah..."

"With this, I, Ji Xiu, am now truly a ’top expert’ in Anning County!"

Before, it was only his combat prowess that was overwhelmingly superior.

But now...

having cultivated Outer Gang, his strength on paper alone was enough to open a school, take on disciples, and claim a seat of honor in a small, mountainous county like this!

"Now, it’s time to advance the Outer Gang Scroll for the ’Feathered Immortal Robe’ technique that Master passed down!"

After resting for a moment to appreciate the subtle wonders of Gang Qi, Ji Xiu struck while the iron was hot. He took out the ’Outer Gang Chapter’ of the Feathered Immortal Robe scroll that Duan Chenzhou had given him before he left and spread it open.

He then began to study it with rapt attention, poring over every word and sentence.

[Tutor has come into contact with the second scroll of ’Feathered Immortal Robe’, the Cloud Luo Scroll!]

[Advance?]

[Transform Jade into Gang, weave Qi into a net. Treat the human body as a work of divine craftsmanship. When Gang Qi spreads through all five million pores and can be expelled from each one, the Tutor will have reached Perfection in their studies and can weave the Immortal Robe!]

[Upon reaching Perfection, the Gang Qi will form a net, causing one’s internal organs to churn like a blazing furnace. It will allow the Tutor, when angered, to shoot lightning from their eyes, intimidate foes from afar, and shatter their Divine Souls!]

[When sealing the pores and retracting the Outer Gang, every inch of your internal organs will become as hard as the frigid stones of the Celestial Mountains, making you impervious to hidden injuries and chronic ailments!]

[Advancement Conditions: Gang is a power of ’Unparalleled Ferocity,’ born from the pinnacle of Force. The Feathered Immortal Robe seeks ’Four Seasons Earth Treasures’ to build the embryonic form of an Immortal Slough that follows the Four Seasons Rotation.]

[Therefore, for daily tempering, the Tutor should sit cross-legged within a furnace, circulating the Secret Technique each day to absorb its scorching intent and hammer their Gang Qi.]

[Alternatively, one could practice in a Volcano Spirit Land, consuming Earth Fire daily until the Cloud Luo is woven and covers the entire body, thereby completing the cultivation.]

[This is a process that requires time and patience.]

[To accelerate your progress, you must find a ’Fire Attribute’ Earth Treasure with incredibly potent effects. Consuming it will condense a Jiazi of effort into a single night, allowing you to reach Outer Gang Perfection and begin studying the ’Immortal Robe’!]

’Getting roasted by fire? Sitting in a volcano?’

’And for years on end?’

Hiss!

Recalling some unpleasant memories, the color drained slightly from Ji Xiu’s face.

[Great Five Decline Celestial Saber—First Decline ’Tribulation Fire Burning Robe’: (197/1000)!]

He looked at this fragmented Saber Technique, a Secret Martial art said to be ’True Sect Level’.

Ji Xiu had spent over a month on it but had only managed to ’repay’ less than a fifth of the debt. His expression couldn’t help but darken.

This saber technique was definitely formidable.

And for one simple reason.

When he practiced it...

...Ji Xiu felt as if his internal organs, tendons, and bones were about to be burned to cinders!

Every time he practiced ’Tribulation Fire Burning Robe’, he had to rest for two or three full days just to recover.

Because making ’repayment’ on this technique not only consumed his physical body but also burned away his Divine Thought!

’How could I possibly make progress quickly like this!’

With the help of the Primordial Daoist Talisman, his practice of Martial Arts and Skill Dao was always a steady, step-by-step process. He never made a wrong move or risked cultivation deviation; as long as he put in the effort, he was guaranteed to see results.

Even he found it this difficult...

If an ordinary person without the Primordial Daoist Talisman tried to practice this saber technique, unless they were one of those naturally enlightened Martial Dao Treasure Bodies or a peerless Sword Madman... otherwise, Ji Xiu truly couldn’t imagine what kind of Demon Fiend could ever hope to master it.

However...

’Fire?’

Ji Xiu looked at the Outer Gang manifesting in his palm. Thinking of this, he glanced again at the advancement conditions for the Cloud Luo Scroll. He fell silent for a moment as a spark of Spiritual Light flashed through his mind.

He then tried extending his Outer Gang to form a ’Gang Saber’, immersed his mind in the Primordial Daoist Talisman, selected ’Advance’, and then...

...while circulating the ’Cloud Luo Scroll’ to temper his Gang Qi, he unleashed the saber technique!

Instantly, it felt as though a nameless fire had ignited within his organs. His skin rapidly turned red, and even his Gang Qi began to glow like a brilliant, fiery cloud!

The effect even spread to the entire Ji Residence...

...the temperature began to rise, causing many of the staff to feel an unbearable heat. They kept glancing toward the rear courtyard, thoroughly impressed.

"The Boss’s Martial Arts..."

"Has he actually reached a level where he can affect his surroundings!?"

"I heard that’s the level where one can form a Qi Sea..."

The staff speculated endlessly amongst themselves.

Meanwhile, Ji Xiu watched, wide-eyed, as the ’fiery cloud’ of his Gang Qi strengthened little by little, spreading further and further like the woven Cloud Luo net, extending to cover every inch of his body.
