The instant his Spirit Soul and Comprehension advanced to the next tier, a clear and invigorating sensation washed through Li Yun’s entire being.
His perception, which was already sharp, rose to an even greater height. The world around him seed more vivid, more detailed. The flow of wind across the cliff, the subtle fluctuations of qi in the air, even the faint rhythm of his own heartbeat all beca distinctly perceptible.
Yet it was his Comprehension that brought about the most profound change.
Passages within the Overlord Thunder Scripture that had once seed obscure and difficult suddenly revealed their aning. Complex principles that had previously felt tangled began to align with clarity. Subtle connections between techniques erged naturally in his mind, as though invisible threads had been woven together.
It felt as if a new part of his mind had awakened.
A door that had always existed within him had finally been opened.
"Every ti I raise my comprehension, this feeling never disappoints," Li Yun murmured softly, letting out a satisfied breath.
"Before I enter seclusion to study my new martial techniques, refine my cultivation arts, and consolidate my Sword Intent, there is one more matter I must handle."
Li Yun’s gaze grew serious as he recalled the secret art his father had left for him.
With a flick of his wrist, a jade slip appeared in his palm.
"Father said I could only cultivate this technique after reaching the Xiantian Realm and forging a sufficiently strong body," he murmured to himself. "I have already stepped into the Xiantian Realm, and my physical foundation is solid... Should I attempt it now?"
He fell into brief contemplation.
There was no reason to delay any further. He had fulfilled every condition his father had set.
With a resolute expression, Li Yun lifted the jade slip and pressed it gently against his forehead. The slip radiated a soft golden glow, then shattered into countless specks of light that stread directly into his mind.
The next instant, Li Yun’s eyes widened in shock.
"What the hell!"
His breathing quickened as the information flooded his consciousness.
"It is a ninth tier secret art!"
His voice trembled slightly.
He had never imagined that the technique his father left behind would be of such an astonishing rank. Ninth tier secret arts were rare even among the greatest powers of the continent. Yet what stunned him further was the depth and complexity contained within this particular one.
Even among ninth tier secret arts, this technique felt extraordinary, as though it stood at the very pinnacle of its category.
The na of the secret art was World Bearing Devil Suppressing Physique.
It carried an overwhelmingly domineering title, and its effects were just as formidable.
According to the technique’s description, the art was divided into 9 stages. With each stage cultivated, the practitioner’s body weight would increase by 10 tis. More importantly, this increase did not replace the previous one. It stacked cumulatively.
If one reached the second stage, their total weight would beco 100 tis their original weight.
At the third stage, it would rise to 1000 tis.
At the fourth stage, it would reach 10000 tis.
The multiplication continued in this manner all the way to the ninth stage. At that level, one’s body weight would reach 900000000 tis their normal weight.
Li Yun drew in a slow breath.
Even at the fourth or fifth stage, the sheer physical force contained within each movent would be unimaginable. A single step would carry the crushing force of mountains. A casual punch would possess catastrophic destructive power.
If such overwhelming mass were combined with an already powerful physique and imnse physical strength, the result would be terrifying beyond asure.
Li Yun let out a faint, wry smile.
"According to the description, once soone reaches the ninth stage, they could destroy cities, empires, or even an entire world with a single stomp."
He did not know whether that claim was exaggerated. However, one thing was certain.
This secret art was extraordinarily powerful.
Before cultivating this secret art, Li Yun arrived at his courtyard given to him at the Heaven Mandate Peak.
"Let try to reach the first layer," Li Yun said quietly.
He sat down cross legged in the center of his cultivation chamber and steadied his breathing. Around him were the resources he had painstakingly exchanged from the Contribution Hall.
Stacks of middle grade spirit stones, bottles of qi gathering pills, ridian stabilizing elixirs, and several rare essence crystals were placed within arm’s reach.
The World Bearing Devil Suppressing Physique did not temper flesh like an ordinary body refinent technique. It was a secret art that altered the very nature of the body by increasing its weight tenfold with each layer. To bear such a transformation without collapsing required imnse energy and perfect control.
Li Yun exhaled slowly and began circulating his qi according to the profound and oppressive pathways described in the secret art.
The mont he activated it, his qi no longer flowed lightly through his ridians. It grew heavy and dense, as though every strand of energy carried the burden of stone. He imdiately crushed several spirit stones in his palm, drawing the pure spiritual energy into his body.
At the sa ti, he swallowed qi gathering pills to ensure that his circulation would not falter midway.
The secret art demanded constant pressure.
As the technique deepened, Li Yun felt an invisible force pressing down on him from all directions. It was not pain in the usual sense. It was weight. An overwhelming, suffocating heaviness that seed to sink into his bones. His muscles tightened instinctively as if resisting a mountain placed upon his shoulders.
He absorbed more energy.
The essence crystals beside him dimd one by one as their stored power was drained into his ridians. The ridian stabilizing elixirs lted within him, reinforcing his internal pathways so they would not rupture under the strain. His qi circulated faster, denser, compressing again and again as the secret art forced his body to adapt.
Sweat rolled down his temples.
His breathing grew deeper.
The air around him seed to thicken as the pressure intensified.
The World Bearing Devil Suppressing Physique did not refine the body into sothing sharper or harder. Instead, it anchored the body to the world itself. Each layer multiplied the weight of the cultivator by ten. If his physical structure could not withstand that change, his bones would shatter and his organs would rupture under their own mass.
Li Yun clenched his fists and continued.
The energy within him roared like a furnace. His bones trembled faintly as if they were being forced to accept a new law. His flesh felt heavier with each completed circulation, yet it did not collapse. Instead, it grew steadier, more grounded, as though sinking deeper into the earth.
Ti passed unnoticed.
The final spirit stones around him turned dull and cracked apart, their energy fully consud.
Then, at a certain instant, sothing within his body shifted.
A deep resonance echoed through his skeleton. His entire fra vibrated as the secret art reached its critical threshold. The invisible weight that had been pressing against him suddenly fused into him.
Boom!
A heavy aura burst outward from his body.
The stone floor beneath him cracked instantly. Spiderweb fractures spread in all directions as the ground struggled to bear the sudden increase in pressure. The tiles shattered and sank slightly under him, unable to withstand the change.
Li Yun’s body had beco ten tis heavier in that single mont.
It was not a visible transformation, yet the effect was undeniable. The air around him seed to sink. Even the dust on the ground was pressed flat by the oppressive force radiating from his fra.
He slowly opened his eyes.
There was no pain in them, only calm understanding.
He shifted slightly, and the cracked ground beneath his feet groaned under the weight.
The first layer of the World Bearing Devil Suppressing Physique had been successfully ford.
His body now carried ten tis its original weight, yet he stood upright without strain, as steady as a mountain rooted deep within the earth.
