84: Creation Technique, Vajra Glazed Tile

After making up his mind, Shen Yuanmo immediately began to act.

He took out all the Body Refining Cultivation Technique Jade Slips he had collected over the years from his Storage Pouch and laid them out in front of him one by one.

The origins of these Jade Slips were varied and complex.

There was the non-mainstream Iron Skin Technique, which was seized from the Lin Family in Linjiang City.

There was the Low Grade Tier Two Overlapping Waves Bone Forging Art, found in City Lord Zhao Wuji's treasure vault.

Even more came from the Wei Family's collection, ranging from Tier One to Low Grade Tier Three, numbering over a dozen, such as the Giant Rock Technique, the Hundred Battles Body Refining Strategy, and so on.

Any one of these Cultivation Techniques, if taken out in Baiyue Prefecture, would be enough to cause countless Body Cultivators to fight fiercely over it.

But in Shen Yuanmo's eyes, they all had various defects.

"This Giant Rock Technique only emphasizes defense and neglects power. Cultivating it to the extreme just turns one into a human-shaped stone pillar, incredibly clumsy."

"The Overlapping Waves Bone Forging Art focuses on using subtle force to temper the tendons and bones, but it consumes too much mana, making the gain not worth the loss."

"And this Hundred Battles Body Refining Strategy has some merit, focusing on stimulating the Physical Body's potential during combat, but it's too extreme. a single mistake could lead to damaging one's Foundation."

Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense rapidly swept over the Jade Slips one by one.

Under the Insight into Origin talent, all the advantages, disadvantages, operational routes, and core concepts of these Cultivation Techniques were laid bare before him.

If the creators of these Cultivation Techniques knew that their proud masterpieces, painstakingly developed, were so inadequate in the eyes of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they would probably be angered to the point of spitting blood on the spot.

Shen Yuanmo spent a full day researching all the Body Refining Cultivation Techniques.

A massive Body Refining knowledge base had already been constructed in his mind.

"The Foundation is already established."

Shen Yuanmo closed his eyes, his consciousness completely sinking into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Next up is Deduction!"

Perfect Deduction, activate!

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, it seemed to transform into a vast starry sky.

The core runes and concepts of those dozen or so Body Refining Cultivation Techniques turned into tens of thousands of twinkling stars, floating in his Sea of Consciousness.

Shen Yuanmo's will transformed into the sole Dominator of this starry sky.

"The first step: extract the essence and discard the dross!"

With a thought, the Cultivation Technique concepts he deemed as dross, such as the simple hardening method in the Iron Skin Technique, instantly dimmed and turned into dust.

The parts he considered the essence—such as the bone-tempering techniques in the Overlapping Waves Bone Forging Art and the Qi and Blood stimulation methods in the Hundred Battles Body Refining Strategy—burst forth with brilliant light and were extracted individually.

This was a massive yet meticulous screening process.

After completing all this, over ninety percent of the "stars" in his Sea of Consciousness were gone.

What remained was the most refined Body Refining theory, meticulously selected by him.

"The second step: Fusion and Reorganization!"

Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense was highly concentrated.

He began attempting a brand new arrangement and combination of these core concepts from different Cultivation Techniques.

This was a process a hundred times more difficult than the previous one.

Different Cultivation Techniques have enormous differences, and even conflicts, in their energy circulation routes and Qi and Blood stimulation methods.

Forcing the Fusion could easily lead to an energy rampage and Qi Deviation if one was careless.

But under the ultra-high-speed simulation of Perfect Deduction, none of this was a problem.

Countless combination methods were simulated, collided, and evolved in his mind at speeds of fractions of a billionth of a second.

Failure... failure... failure again... Every failed simulation triggered a small-scale energy explosion in his Sea of Consciousness, bringing waves of tearing, excruciating pain.

Veins bulged on Shen Yuanmo's forehead, and cold sweat poured down.

His face was even paler than when he was previously deducing Formations.

The difficulty of creating a brand new, top-tier Cultivation Technique aimed directly at Physical Body Perfection far exceeded his imagination.

But he did not give up. He gritted his teeth, swallowed a Medicinal Pill prepared earlier to restore Divine Sense, and continued the deduction.

He knew he was walking a path no one had trod before.

Once successful, he would reap unimaginable rewards.

Time slowly passed amidst the painful torment.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Maybe one day, maybe ten days.

After experiencing countless tens of thousands of failures.

Finally!

"Buzz—!"

In his Sea of Consciousness, all the "star" fragments seemed to find the most perfect point of convergence at a single moment.

They violently merged together!

Transforming into a brand new, complete scripture radiating brilliant golden light!

This scripture was ancient, tyrannical, and filled with a sense of power!

Every character seemed to be forged from Glazed Divine Gold, containing the supreme true meaning of indestructibility and eternal endurance!

It was done!

A brand new Body Refining Cultivation Technique, entirely created by himself and perfectly compatible with the Crimson Sun Glazed Scripture, was finally... born!

Shen Yuanmo slowly opened his eyes, which held endless exhaustion, but even more, unconcealed ecstasy and excitement.

With a thought, the name of the scripture surfaced in his mind.

The Vajra Glazed Body!

This Cultivation Technique is divided into nine layers.

It uses one's own Qi and Blood as the root, the Glazed True Yang Fire as the furnace, and draws Heaven and Earth Metal Element Spiritual Qi into the body to temper the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, fascia, marrow, organs, blood, and orifices!

Each layer completed will see the Physical Body's strength multiply, and its defense will be comparable to a Magic Treasure of the same tier.

If one can Cultivate it to the Perfection stage of the ninth layer, one can achieve the true Vajra Glazed Body, making the Physical Body immortal, capable of Rebirth from a drop of blood, and impervious to all magic!

Its power has far exceeded the scope of Tier Three Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, and is even comparable to some legendary Tier Four, or even Tier Five, Body Refining methods!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Shen Yuanmo suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully scrutinized every detail of the Vajra Glazed Body.

The more he read, the greater the shock in his heart.

This Cultivation Technique was practically tailor-made for him!

Not only can it temper the Physical Body, but it can also complement the Crimson Sun Glazed Scripture.

The powerful Qi and Blood generated by cultivating the Vajra Glazed Body can, in turn, nourish the Glazed True Yang Mana, making the Mana more solid and tyrannical.

And the Glazed True Yang Fire is the best flame for tempering the Vajra Glazed Body!

When the two are combined, they complement each other, and the cultivation speed will definitely achieve an effect where one plus one is greater than two!

"With this Cultivation Technique, Essence Gate Perfection is just around the corner!"

Shen Yuanmo could no longer hold back. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began his first session of Cultivation according to the method of the first layer of the Vajra Glazed Body.

"Draw Metal Element Spiritual Qi into the body, fuse it with the Glazed True Yang Fire, and temper the skin and fascia..."

With a thought, subtle, barely visible strands of golden, sharp Qi were forcibly stripped from the ubiquitous Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the secret chamber and surged into his body along with his breath.

At the same time, a strand of the Glazed True Yang Fire in his Dantian separated and merged into his Meridians, converging with the Metal Element Spiritual Qi.

"Sizzle—!"

The moment the two made contact, an indescribable, agonizing pain instantly spread throughout his entire body!

The sensation was like countless billions of red-hot steel needles simultaneously piercing his skin, repeatedly cutting, tearing, and burning!

Even with Shen Yuanmo's resilient Heart-Nature, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his body trembling violently.

It was too painful!

The Cultivation process of the Vajra Glazed Body was a hundred times more painful than he had imagined!

But he did not stop.

He clenched his teeth tightly, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

To gain strength beyond ordinary people, one must endure pain beyond ordinary people!

He frantically circulated the Cultivation Technique, guiding the violent energy to wash over his skin again and again.

During this process, the skin on his body continuously cracked and charred, only to rapidly heal and undergo Rebirth under the power of his strong Qi and Blood.

With every Rebirth, his skin became tougher, and a faint dark golden sheen even appeared on its surface.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when the first ray of morning light shone through the crack in the secret chamber.

Shen Yuanmo finally slowly ceased his practice.

He looked down and saw that his skin had completely turned a healthy bronze color, faintly shimmering with treasure light and brimming with a sense of power.

He gently clenched his fist.

"Crackling!"

A series of popping sounds echoed in the air.

He felt that his current strength was at least 30% greater than before!

And this was only the first layer, just having achieved entry!

"The Vajra Glazed Body is indeed powerful!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Yuanmo's face.

The problem of the Physical Body was solved.

Next up is the final, and most mysterious, Spirit Gate.
