19: Chapter 19 Divine Skill Reaches the Pinnacle of Creation, I Roam Freely Across the World
Another two months passed; time flew like a white stallion passing a crevice, gone in an instant.
On this day, after Lu Chen finished his final cycle of Hunyuan Skill cultivation, he felt his blood surging and his Internal Energy billowing like a tide. A powerful force filled every corner of his body.
Just then, the notification sound of the heaven-swallowing system rang out in his mind once again:
"Ding! Hunyuan Skill circulation has received a Ten-Thousand-Fold Increase, breaking through to the twelfth level!"
"Ding! The host's Physique has doubled, and Lifespan has reached 720 years!"
"Ding! The body can now accommodate 720 years of pure Internal Energy!"
"Ding! Single-arm physical strength has reached 4,800 catties!"
Feeling the immense power within him, Lu Chen knew that at this moment, there was no longer an opponent for him in the Martial Forest!
As expected, the final three levels of this Cultivation Technique provided a doubling of both strength and Physique!
At the tenth level, he had sixty years of Pure Yang Boundless Art and one hundred and ten years of Hunyuan Skill Internal Energy, totaling one hundred and seventy years.
Upon breaking through to the eleventh level, his Internal Energy reached one hundred and eighty years, with a capacity for three hundred and sixty years—an existence already considered shocking!
With his Physique doubling again, Lu Chen's body could now actually accommodate seven hundred and twenty years of Internal Energy! This was simply a massive miracle!
Lu Chen calculated in his mind that in just four more months, his single-arm strength could reach a staggering nine thousand six hundred catties!
And the Internal Energy capacity within his body would soar directly to one thousand four hundred and forty years!
However, his Pure Yang Boundless Art seemed to have reached its limit, and his cultivation of Hunyuan Skill Internal Energy had also hit a ceiling. Although his Internal Energy was still growing, the progress had slowed down even under the effect of the Ten-Thousand-Fold Increase.
It seemed that the growth of Internal Energy was still restricted by the Cultivation Techniques!
Lu Chen thought to himself that he must obtain a technique capable of rapidly increasing Internal Energy!
Once he left this island, he would truly be at his Peak from the moment he debuted!
In the face of absolute power, Lu Chen's speed and strength were already Heaven-Defying existences even without using Internal Energy.
This was the miraculous effect of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art's body tempering!
His current strength had far surpassed any master in the Jianghu; even Xie Xun was like an ant before him, unable to withstand a single blow!
After breaking through to the twelfth level, Lu Chen finally made up his mind to have Yin Susu Cultivate this technique properly. After all, in this great world, if he could truly live for several hundred years, having this peerless enchantress to accompany him seemed like a rather beautiful thing.
He looked at Yin Susu, who was silently tidying his clothes beside him, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth. He wanted Yin Susu to also feel the power of this divine skill.
"Susu, come here," Lu Chen said in a calm tone while looking at Yin Susu.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yin Susu's body trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at Lu Chen, her eyes filled with doubt and unease. She didn't know what Lu Chen wanted to do now.
"From today onwards, you must Cultivate this Hunyuan Skill diligently," Lu Chen said in a flat tone as he looked at Yin Susu.
His voice carried a hint of unquestionable majesty, as if he were issuing an order to Yin Susu.
"This Hunyuan Skill is actually the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art of Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism," Lu Chen explained the origin of the technique to Yin Susu. "I didn't expect that Cheng Kun would actually be a descendant of the Golden Wheel Dharma King's lineage."
"In the hands of a good person, this Buddhist scripture can support the world, but in the hands of an evil person, it is used for absolute wickedness!" Lu Chen looked at Yin Susu, his tone remaining flat.
He seemed to be talking to himself, "It can be seen that martial arts themselves are neither good nor bad, neither orthodox nor evil. Good and evil, right and wrong, are all the choices of the person!"
His words contained reflections on the essence of martial arts. Martial arts were merely tools, and the person was the one who wielded them; whether it was good or evil depended on the person's own choice.
"Master Padmasambhava, who created this divine skill, is the Ancestral Master of Tibetan Buddhism. Indeed, the Buddha's power is boundless!" Lu Chen praised to Yin Susu.
He was filled with awe and admiration for the creator of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art.
The person who could create such a technique must have been an earth-shattering existence. This Master Padmasambhava perfectly combined Buddhist Law with the martial Dao; he was a truly wise and powerful man!
His body felt as if it were filled with a powerful force; he felt he had grown strong to an unprecedented degree.
This Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art truly lived up to its reputation; the power of the twelfth level was already so astonishing.
If he reached the thirteenth level, just how powerful would that be?
"Miss Yin, how do you feel about this twelfth level of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art? Do I, Lu, possess the strength of a dragon and elephant?!" Lu Chen looked at Yin Susu, enjoying this feeling of having everything under his control.
Yin Susu was currently exhausted, her body weak and limp as if all her strength had been drained. She struggled to raise her head to look at Lu Chen.
Her cheeks were flushed crimson, and her eyes were filled with complex emotions: fear, adoration, and a trace of uncontrollable pleasure.
"Mm..." Yin Susu's voice trembled slightly. She struggled to squeeze a few words from her throat, but she still forced herself to speak.
"This Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art is indeed incomparably grand. Susu has experienced it. From this day on, Susu will surely practice this technique diligently to keep up with the Sect Master's footsteps."
"Hahahaha!" Lu Chen burst into laughter upon hearing Yin Susu's words, his laughter filled with arrogance and pride.
"Miss Yin, you are truly becoming more and more sensible. However, this Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art is not so easy to Cultivate. If you want to keep up with my footsteps, I'm afraid it will take a very long time."
"But you don't need to worry." Lu Chen looked at Yin Susu, his finger gently stroking her cheek. "As long as you are obedient, I will naturally teach you well so that you can realize the mysteries of this divine skill soon."
Yin Susu looked at Lu Chen, her heart rate involuntarily quickening. She knew what Lu Chen was going to do to her next; she was both fearful and expectant, her heart filled with contradiction and struggle.
...
...
An hour later, Lu Chen felt refreshed.
After putting on his yellow robes, he looked at the weak Yin Susu and said calmly, "Cultivate well here. I'm going to see how the tool man's boat-building is coming along!"
"Mm..." Yin Susu could only let out a faint sound.
She knew she could no longer do anything and could only obediently follow Lu Chen's arrangements.
