Chapter 22: Chapter 20: Seclusion, 4 Months Later

Human Origin Body Technique, activate!

As Ye Chen activated the Mystical Technique, his entire body, limbs, and bones began to twitch and move bit by bit. Each piece of flesh, like a starving beggar of ten lifetimes, frantically absorbed the massive amounts of spiritual energy in his meridians.

Crackle—

One could faintly hear the interlaced sounds of bones and tendons within Ye Chen’s body, like drums continuously playing, recklessly absorbing the spiritual energy of the world and undergoing strengthening.

It was said from ancient times that between heaven and earth, there exists a Magic Technique that primarily refines the body, that can achieve the Vajra Immortal Body, indestructible throughout all calamities and eternal.

Legend has it that once the technique is accomplished, one can proclaim oneself as a "human world," a single punch can shatter the heavens, a kick can collapse the eternal sky, and a gaze can destroy the universe, achieving a freely immortal body.

This Magic Technique’s true name had long been forgotten by most in the world, but it was divided into three parts stored in the world: Human, Earth, and Heaven, with the Human part as the entry, Earth part for evolution, and Heaven part for Great Perfection.

The Earth and Heaven parts are difficult to find in the world, while the Human part occasionally could be obtained—exactly the Human Origin Body Technique.

Similar to the Domineering Refining Saint Technique, it’s also a Body Refinement Method, and truly speaking, it’s not much inferior to the first thirty-six Body Refining Diagrams of the Domineering Refining Saint Technique.

Because once the Human Origin Body Technique is brought to Great Success, one’s blood qi will transform into golden color, achieving a Golden Body, Vajra Immortal, impervious to blades and spears.

In his past life, before he achieved the Combat Saint Body, he had practiced this technique, reached Great Perfection, and even battled Innate Realm super experts of the Martial God Realm and cut them down.

The power of the Human Origin Body Technique was evident.

If the Domineering Refining Saint Technique continuously stimulates the body, uncovers potential, and makes breakthroughs, then the Human Origin Body Technique follows another path, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nurture the body, strengthen one’s form, and refine a Golden Body.

Both Body Refinement Methods have their strengths.

This lifetime, Ye Chen planned to cultivate both supreme Body Refinement Methods, dual strengthening, laying a solid foundation for the future revival of the Holy Body Bloodline.

Through the Green Divine Liquid and the massive absorption of nature’s spiritual energy through the Human Emperor Tower, everything was at once cleared up, and through the rotation of the Human Origin Body Technique, muscles in his limbs and the rest of his body started moving, frantically absorbing the massive spiritual energy in his meridians, continuously strengthening.

Crackle—

At this moment, with the operation of the Human Origin Body Technique, the flesh in his limbs and body trembled and resonated, enveloped by blood qi, continually absorbing vast amounts of spiritual energy, thoroughly replenishing his body.

Ye Chen could feel his body becoming stronger at all times, surpassing its past condition, moving towards greater strength...

In the following days, Ye Chen simply conducted closed-door training, not just for a day or two but for an extended period, often requiring several months.

He did not want to waste precious time, as now was the best opportunity, and with the Green Divine Liquid at hand, he could maximize the extraction of his potential.

In the mountains, there are no weeks; in cultivation, there are no years.

The sun rose in the east and set in the west, the wheel of time turning.

Days passed, followed by months...

Since producing the "Green Divine Liquid," Ye Chen had lived a secluded and simple life of cultivation, deeply engrossed in practice within his own courtyard.

Even his mealtime was pushed to just one a day, only at night would Huan’er bring him a nutritious meal. Otherwise, during the cultivation period, he made no contact with outsiders, even politely declining the visitation of his own parents, being strict in this regard.

To save time, he simultaneously cultivated with the help of the Green Divine Liquid, practicing both the Domineering Refining Saint Technique and the Human Origin Body Technique, strengthening both his inner strength and physical body concurrently, leaving nothing neglected.

The process was arduous and monotonous, with no one to talk to, hardly bearable for any young man or woman.

But for Ye Chen, it was no problem.

Having informed his father of his closed-door cultivation in advance, Ye Ao had issued a decree that no one could intrude on Ye Chen’s training place, with the family law awaiting violators, even decreeing on-the-spot execution, enforced by experts within the family.

This strict command had caused discontent among many in the Ye Family, accusing Ye Ao of being overly protective and heavy-handed, losing authority.

Many even ridiculed Ye Chen as a waste, doubting any progress could come from his cultivation.

Nonetheless, Ye Ao paid no attention to such disapproval. For his only son, Ye Chen, he didn’t mind confronting the three elders, as they were already enemies.

This attitude also deterred Ye Hua, who was intent on causing trouble for Ye Chen, from daring to intrude on Ye Chen’s courtyard to disturb his cultivation. When some opportunists saw the two large, bloodthirsty family head personal guards stationed at the door of Ye Chen’s courtyard, understanding these were real life-and-death experienced experts, they quickly suppressed any malicious intentions and deliberately avoided getting close.

However, on occasion, deep and muffled sounds could be heard from Ye Chen’s courtyard, even persistent rumbling noises that astounded those who heard.

Even the two family heads’ personal guards would become curious, wanting to know exactly what was happening inside the guarded courtyard, but they never dared to break the rules to take a look.

Sometimes, Ye Ao’s men would arrive, carrying enormous, canvas-covered, weighty objects into the courtyard, arousing considerable curiosity.

As spring turned to autumn in the blink of an eye, it marked the fifth month since Ye Chen’s rebirth, a season already deep into autumn.

At this time, it was after four months of Ye Chen’s solitary seclusion.

Creak—

The tightly closed door of the courtyard had finally opened, sending clouds of dust flying, and a figure strode out with disheveled black hair and a tall, imposing demeanor, walking into the courtyard.

This person was Ye Chen.

Four months had passed, and he seemed to have undergone numerous changes; he was taller and more imposing, his eyebrows sharp like swords and eyes bright like stars. Though his face now bore some stubble, it did not diminish his youthful vigor but added instead a mysterious and mature charm.

Wearing a loose robe, now tattered, Ye Chen did not care to change immediately. Instead, he suddenly stood still, eyes slightly closed, like a statue, unmoving and silently standing in the courtyard.

At this moment, his aura gradually faded into nothingness, as though merging with the world around him, becoming undetectable.

Eventually, his presence completely vanished, imperceptible even to the Innate Strong People.

It was as if he was truly a part of the world around him, inseparable.

It was only after a long while that Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a dazzling brilliance emanating from them, flashing like cold lightning, overwhelming to behold.

The intense light in his eyes then receded, deep and mysterious.

Ye Chen took a deep breath and then exhaled sharply, his breath forming a mist so dense that it solidified, shooting out like an arrow and piercing through the other mists until it dissipated ten meters away.

If an outsider had witnessed this, they would have been astonished, for a breath that solidifies and extends like an arrow is an indication of the Acquired Seventh Realm.

Ye Chen had merely secluded himself for four months, had he really advanced beyond the Seventh Layer?

Such a speed of cultivation was alarmingly fast.

Bear in mind that five months ago, Ye Chen had only just awakened his memories, and everything was still above the small realm of the Acquired Third Realm. Yet, within merely five months, he had progressed through four small realms, a terrifyingly fast pace of advancement.

Usually, although the Acquired Ninth Realm is the most basic stage of cultivation for the human body and also forms the foundation, each realm’s breakthrough typically requires more than half a year, with many individuals taking a full year to advance just one realm. It isn’t something that can be achieved just by desiring to make a breakthrough at the lower realms.

Only those with exceptional talent could progress through a realm in just two or three months.

Now, in only five months, Ye Chen had advanced from the Acquired Third Realm to the Seventh, spanning four realms in such a short period, which would be shocking news not just in Luofeng City, but across the entire Tiandu Continent.

Even the historically youngest Innate achiever at thirteen, "Ye Chen," had never reached this step so quickly.

However, for Ye Chen, all this seemed to be just as expected.

In his previous life, he had been endowed with a wealth of cultivation experience—the Human Emperor Tower, Green Divine Liquid, Domineering Refining Saint Technique, Human Origin Body Technique... and many other secret treasures, combined with an Innate Realm physical body, all these factors made him feel that if he couldn’t reach this stage, he would truly be a failure.

Yet, advancing in realms was not Ye Chen’s greatest achievement, but rather something else.

Ye Chen slightly moved his muscles and bones, immediately causing loud, clear, metallic clinks akin to metal striking each other in his body.

Whoosh—

He suddenly moved, his entire being vanishing instantly from the spot, reappearing five meters away, where his toe flicked up a boulder the size of a house. It tumbled through the air before heavily crashing down with a thunderous noise, drawing surprised looks from those around.

The personal guards at the gate from the Family Head had long been accustomed to such sights, unphased.

"I’ve been in seclusion for a full four months, my parents are probably worried and missing me. Since all the cultivation medicine liquids are used up, it’s time to go out for a walk and see if the Hundred Herbs Liquid has sold,"

Ye Chen said to himself, his face, adorned with stubble and appearing weathered, breaking into a light smile for the first time, "Besides, basic cultivation is already complete, it’s time for further advancements. Perhaps, a venture into the Demon Beast Mountain Range wouldn’t be a bad idea."

Thank you [Chen Bing] and [Bamboo Forest] for your support, haha!
