Chapter 688 Advancement of the Indestructible True Skill and the Sect's Decision

Lingxi Peak.

Halfway up the peak, inside Training Room B-3.

Yang Jing stood still in the center of the smooth bluestone floor, his aura calm and steady.

He took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the rising anticipation and distracting thoughts in his mind. He immersed himself completely in his cultivation, preparing to officially circulate the Indestructible True Skill.

The next moment, his body moved. He slowly sank his waist and hips, wrapped his arms before his chest, and slightly arched his back. He resembled a great bear lying in wait in the mountains—stable and imposing. This was the opening stance of the Indestructible True Skill: Bear Squat.

His movements were as steady as a mountain. Every inch of his muscles tensed slowly as his Inner Qi flowed silently through his meridians, stable and enduring.

Immediately after, his figure shot upward. He spread his arms like a hawk beating its wings, soaring with a sharp and expansive aura. He transitioned into the Hawk Soar stance, a seamless blend of hardness and softness executed in a single, fluid motion.

Next came Tiger Pounce, Ape Climb, Crane Stand, Snake Coiling, Turtle Breath, Dragon Soar… a sequence of several dozen specific movements unfolded in order.

Yang Jing performed the routine with incredible skill and fluidity. Every posture was executed with utmost precision, without a hint of sluggishness.

At times, he was like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, his aura ferocious and explosive. At others, he was like a nimble ape climbing a branch, light and agile. Sometimes, he was like a lone crane standing still, tranquil and profound. Then, he was like a great turtle in hibernation, incomparably solid and heavy.

The entire Cultivation Technique balanced motion and stillness, hardness and softness, perfectly demonstrating the triple essence of the Indestructible True Skill: tempering the body, nurturing qi, and solidifying the spirit.

Inside the Training Room, Yang Jing’s figure constantly shifted. His movements grew faster and faster, yet remained stable and orderly. The bluestone floor trembled slightly under the soles of his feet, and the surrounding airflow swirled with his motions.

He repeated the routine over and over. Sweat trickled down from his temples, but it did not affect his concentration in the slightest.

Having already broken through to the Qi Absorption Realm, he now stood at a higher level of the Martial Dao. Looking back to cultivate the Indestructible True Skill, which was still at the Qi Eating Realm level, Yang Jing found that many aspects that were once difficult now seemed clear as day.

From this higher vantage point, every key point of the Cultivation Technique and every trace of the Inner Qi’s circulation path was perfectly clear. His cultivation efficiency was far beyond what he could have imagined.

The specially made Exotic Beast Musk Aroma burned quietly.

A faint, golden smoke drifted upward, releasing a gentle and rich fragrance.

With each of Yang Jing’s long breaths, the medicinal scent not only entered through his nose and mouth but also seeped slowly into his body through his open pores. It transformed into a gentle medicinal power that nourished his meridians, greatly accelerating the circulation of his Inner Qi in an endless, self-sustaining cycle.

At the same time, understanding and insights about the Indestructible True Skill flooded his mind like a surging spring. Obscure and difficult points that once baffled him were now effortlessly resolved.

Yang Jing could clearly sense his mastery of the Indestructible True Skill improving at a visible, rapid pace. Each repetition of the routine was more harmonious and profound than the last.

This terrifying cultivation efficiency was not due to a single reason.

First and foremost, he had already entered the Qi Absorption Realm. The absolute advantage his realm provided made cultivating a martial art of a lower realm as easy as sailing with the current. His comprehension and control were far greater than before.

Second was the wondrous effect of this Level B Training Room. The dual enhancement from the Array and the aroma greatly stimulated his Inner Qi circulation and his body’s absorption, making his cultivation efficiency far superior to that of a Level C Training Room.

‘If I could train in a Level A Training Room, just how astonishing would my speed become?’ This made Yang Jing wonder with even greater anticipation.

The third reason was that the effects of the Heart Inquiry Pill he had taken earlier were still active. The Elixir had not only enhanced his comprehension but had also consolidated and integrated all the scattered insights he had accumulated while practicing the Indestructible True Skill.

Now, as soon as he circulated the Indestructible True Skill, those consolidated insights naturally surfaced in his mind, as if an expert were guiding him from the side. His path of cultivation was completely unobstructed.

Two hours passed in a flash. Yang Jing completed the final closing movement, his body slowly coming to a standstill as he gradually stopped his cultivation.

A fine layer of sweat had beaded on his forehead, dripping down his chin. His form-fitting training clothes were soaked through, clinging tightly to his body and revealing a well-proportioned and powerful physique.

He let out a long, turbid breath, which shot out several feet like a sharp arrow. The Inner Qi in his body, slightly agitated from the high-speed cultivation, calmed down in an instant and returned to a stable state.

Following that, Yang Jing closed his eyes slightly and looked inward, carefully sensing the changes brought about by the two hours of cultivation.

At the same time, with a thought, a panel appeared before his eyes. The progress details for the martial arts he cultivated were displayed in full—

[Mountain-Breaking Seal: Major Accomplishment (88/5000)]

[Indestructible True Skill: Second Level, Minor Accomplishment (1118/2000)]

[River-Crossing Step: Minor Accomplishment (722/2000)]

Compared to before he started training, his mastery of the Indestructible True Skill had clearly advanced by a large margin.

As for himself, his Inner Qi was more condensed, and his physical strength was steadily increasing. He was one step closer to breaking through to the Qi Absorption Realm with this skill.

Yang Jing slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly, but a sense of urgency still lingered in his heart.

He still wasn’t sure which day the Three Prodigies of the Vajra Sect would come to challenge the sect. Time was tight, and he had no confidence he could successfully advance his Indestructible True Skill to the Qi Absorption Realm before they arrived.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing’s thoughts couldn’t help but turn once more to the matter of resource allocation being discussed by the sect’s upper echelons in the Main Peak’s great hall.

If he could quickly obtain the sect’s full support—gaining some top-tier precious elixirs, access to a Level A Training Room, and ample Cultivation Resources—his confidence in breaking his second True Skill through to the Qi Absorption Realm before the Vajra Sect’s prodigies arrived would undoubtedly increase significantly.
