89: Chapter 89 Thunder Emperor's Golden Body

Heavenly Lord certainly would not speak.

Yu Xiu simply took it as his tacit consent, deciding to use the members of the Qingwei Sword Sect to verify the Dao of Karma he had comprehended.

This Dao was vast and boundless, possessing endless wonderful uses, but the Karma that Yu Xiu had comprehended thus far did not yet possess overly profound mysteries.

For instance, Yu Xiu could only see the threads of Karma for these people if they had already arrived at Guangling Lake, were already on their way there, or had already made the decision to come to Guangling Lake.

However, he could not see the threads of Karma for the people and demons who would arrive at Guangling Lake in the future—one year, three years, ten years, a hundred years, or even longer from now.

Perhaps this was because those people and demons in the future had not yet formed a connection with Guangling Lake, and thus, the threads of Karma had not yet formed.

But it was more likely that Yu Xiu's comprehension of the Dao of Karma was simply insufficient.

"Karma must be combined with destiny and time!"

"Only when the three are combined can one see all Karma and destiny, and understand the past, present, and future!"

Inspiration surged continuously in Yu Xiu's mind, colliding to spark countless flashes of insight.

Yet, before this profound and ineffable Karma, destiny, and time, he still felt confusion!

"Karma, destiny, and time are all defined by the endless sentient beings, existing in the space between existence and non-existence..."

Then, let him test whether this Karma could truly be changed.

Yu Xiu cast his gaze from afar onto Yuan Tiankuo.

The threads of Karma on Yuan Tiankuo were very complex, numbering over a hundred, which Yu Xiu had already observed; the vast majority of them were Karma generated between Yuan Tiankuo and the members of the Sword Sect.

For example, his relatives, his Master, his Senior Brothers, his Junior Brothers, and acquaintances; there was even one thread connected to Lu Shizhang.

This indicated that there was also Karma between them, back and forth, never-ending.

Yu Xiu did not concern himself with these threads of Karma between relatives and fellow Disciples, instead casting his gaze upon Guangling Lake.

In the three-thousand-li Guangling Lake, there were only a mere three threads of Karma connected to Yuan Tiankuo.

"He is, after all, a Disciple of my Sword Sect. How can he only comprehend such a small amount after coming to Guangling Lake once!"

Yu Xiu wanted to fabricate more threads of Karma out of thin air for Yuan Tiankuo, allowing him to comprehend more Concepts within Guangling Lake.

"Whether one can comprehend more is related to one's personal Comprehension Ability."

"Given Yuan Tiankuo's Comprehension Ability, he originally shouldn't have been able to comprehend more..."

"But if I were to fabricate threads of Karma out of thin air and make Yuan Tiankuo form a karmic relationship with more Concepts..."

"Would this be 'reversing cause and effect'?"

First, let Yuan Tiankuo possess the result of inevitably comprehending more Concepts of Guangling Lake, then let Karma take its natural course, and finally, let Yuan Tiankuo truly comprehend those Concepts?

"I fear it won't work!"

Yu Xiu acknowledged that, with his current attainments in Karma, he had not yet reached the level of "reversing cause and effect."

Especially regarding Comprehension Ability, it is hard to say that one can comprehend something just by wanting to.

Yuan Tiankuo's Comprehension Ability was actually quite average; being able to comprehend two or three Concepts of Guangling Lake was already his limit. Forcibly fabricating more threads of Karma for him would, at most, make comprehending those Concepts slightly easier, but the final result would likely be that the fabricated threads of Karma would naturally snap.

"Then let me first take a look at the Concepts and fortunes Saint Qi left behind here."

Regarding Guangling Lake, Yu Xiu had already understood everything the moment he cast his attention here.

It was roughly over a thousand years ago that Saint Qi attained the Dao at Guangling Lake and created a supreme Body Refining method that shook the entire Wangding Star, named the "Great Sun Profound Thunder Golden Body."

If this Golden Body were cultivated to Perfection, even a Saint could not break it; placed within the Saint Realm, one could stand in an invincible position from the Innate stage.

"The 'Great Sun Profound Thunder Golden Body'!"

Yu Xiu looked toward Guangling Lake.

At this moment, the area outside Guangling Lake was still shrouded by the Indestructible Vajra Concept left behind by Saint Qi when he attained the Dao, remaining unbreakable.

Therefore, whether it was Qin Shaoshang and Yuan Tiankuo of the Qingwei Sword Sect, or the successors of the various major sects from the other twelve provinces, they were all waiting for that layer of Indestructible Vajra Concept to dissipate.

This layer of Indestructible Vajra Concept was connected as one; to comprehend the Saint's Concept from the outside—let alone with the Comprehension Ability of Yuan Tiankuo and the others, which made it impossible—even if another Saint were to arrive in person, they would still be unable to do so.

But Yu Xiu could.

"Using the Great Sun True Fire to refine the spirit, using the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder to refine the body, finally forging an Indestructible Golden Body."

"The Concept here is severely incomplete."

"When Saint Qi attained the Dao here back then, he likely did not create the complete 'Great Sun Profound Thunder Golden Body,' but could barely be considered to have drafted a framework."

"Even if one were to fully penetrate all the Concepts left by Saint Qi upon this three-thousand-li Guangling Lake, it would be impossible to recreate the complete 'Great Sun Profound Thunder Golden Body.' At most, one could only obtain some tips on Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Body Refining and Great Sun True Fire Spirit Refining."

"However, for these cultivators who have not yet become Saints, it is enough to benefit them for a lifetime."

Yu Xiu saw through all the Dao Rhyme left by Saint Qi upon the three-thousand-li Guangling Lake in a single glance.

Although this was of no great use to him, his Comprehension Ability was too high, and infinite inspiration instantly surged in his mind, subsequently colliding to spark countless flashes of insight.

"Using the Great Sun True Fire to refine the spirit; this method is too crude. For ordinary cultivators, it is also too dangerous and the threshold is too high. One careless mistake, and the Great Sun True Fire could incinerate their spirit into nothingness. It is far inferior to the 'Yin-Yang Furnace God-Refining Art' I previously created."

"But it is not without its merits."

"If I use the Great Sun True Fire combined with the Taiyin True Cold, and then use the wonder of Yin and Yang to refine the spirit, it should be much safer."

"Hmm, in reality, between this heaven and earth, there are countless methods to increase the spirit. Comprehending the wonders of the natural operation of heaven and earth is the fastest; at the moment of enlightenment, it will grow rapidly."

"It would be better to use Taiyin and Sun to form a Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram, then combine it with the wonders of the operation of the Universe and heaven and earth to create a visualization diagram to increase the spirit. It would be faster and more stable, though it is quite demanding on Comprehension Ability."

"The Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Body Refining is even rougher; if one is not careful, the Physical Body will be shattered by the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder."

"It would be better to first refine them using the Five Elements Divine Thunders, such as the Gen Mountain Thunder, or the Gui Water Divine Thunder, Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Geng Metal Divine Thunder, and Li Fire Divine Thunder. Refine the Five Thunder Gods within the Five Viscera of the chest, then draw the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder from the inside out, combining the inside and outside..."

Inspiration emerged endlessly in Yu Xiu's mind, flashes of insight erupting in waves. In just a few short moments, he had created several Spirit Refining and Body Refining methods that led directly to the "Emperor" level.

[ "Great Sun Profound Yin Spirit Refining Method": Perfection ]

Comprehension Ability + 50000

Lifespan + 50000

[ "Taiji Yin-Yang Visualization Diagram": Perfection ]

Comprehension Ability + 50000

Lifespan + 50000

[ "Inner Five Thunders Drawing Nine Heavens Body Refining Method": Perfection ]

[ "Thunder Emperor Golden Body Art": Perfection ]

"In the path of martial arts, Body Refining is too singular and too crude; it ultimately has limitations."

"Within my Life Spring, there is a vast sea of life that has transformed dozens of times, naturally nourishing the Physical Body..."

"Hmm, it is also time to let this speed accelerate a little!"

"I shall create a Body Refining method that complements the 'Dao Scripture' and belongs uniquely to me!"

"Once this method is completed, it shall be accompanied by various Divine Abilities."

"It can form the Heavenly Eye Ability, Heavenly Ear Ability, Divine Foot Ability..."
