Chapter 814: Chapter 813 Restrictions of the God-Given Martial Body

Su Yang stood with his hands clasped behind his back, quietly gazing at the moonlit night outside, and whispered, "I’ve said before, the God-Given Martial Body has been accumulating strength since birth. However, because the meridians are not opened, the strength cannot be wielded. Once the meridians are opened, the full strength of the body can be utilized, hence the cultivation speed is much faster than ordinary people."

Zhao Ping’an nodded his head, It was Su Yang who had opened his meridians, and only then did he achieve his current realm.

"But after entering the Land Fairy Realm, the strength no longer resides in the meridians," Su Yang said. "Upon reaching the Land Fairy Realm, the strength undergoes a transformation. It’s not just the form of the strength that changes but also the method by which strength circulates within the body. And this transformation is commonly referred to as divine power, converting the strength of mortals into that of gods."

"However, the strength of the God-Given Martial Body is cultivated by the body itself. To transform it into divine power, the body must also undergo a transformation. Only then can one truly become an Earthly Immortal!"

Turning his head to look at Zhao Ping’an, Su Yang whispered, "That is to say, if you want to become an Earthly Immortal, you yourself must go through a change in order to cross this realm!"

Zhao Ping’an was stunned, and in a low voice he said, "Master, then... how can I change myself?"

"To put it simply, it’s to ’break and then establish,’" Su Yang said.

"Break and then establish?" Zhao Ping’an was astonished. What did that mean?

Su Yang didn’t speak, but simply reached out into the air, catching a gecko and bringing it in front of Zhao Ping’an.

With a casual touch to the gecko, the creature got such a fright that it immediately shed its tail and scurried off in a panic, leaving behind only a tail still struggling.

"What do you think will happen to this gecko?" Su Yang asked.

"It will grow another tail," Zhao Ping’an said.

"Correct!" Su Yang nodded. "But is the new tail that grows the same as the old one?"

"This..." Zhao Ping’an was bewildered. How did this turn into a philosophical question?

"If a gecko loses its tail, it can regrow one. If other parts are lost, it can regrow them too. In the end, if every part of the gecko has been replaced once over..." Su Yang looked at Zhao Ping’an, "then do you think this gecko is still the original gecko?"

Zhao Ping’an suddenly paused, shockingly saying, "Master, you can’t mean to have me replace every part of myself, right? But... how is that possible? We’re humans, if some parts are gone, we’d surely die on the spot before they could regrow!"

Su Yang waved his hand dismissively, "Ponder over these matters yourself. In any case, there’s no need for you to rush into entering the Earthly Immortal Realm. For now, you should just focus on strengthening yourself!"

"Oh." Zhao Ping’an nodded, his mind still preoccupied with Su Yang’s words.

In fact, Su Yang himself was rather unclear about the situation. All the words he had spoken to Zhao Ping’an were from the records about the Heaven-Gifted Body found in Destiny’s Tome.

Destiny’s Tome contained many records regarding the Heaven-Gifted Body, and even more so for the God-Given Martial Body. Among them was the example of the gecko, but no detailed explanation was provided.

Su Yang himself didn’t know what this was all about, so he could only repeat the words from Destiny’s Tome to Zhao Ping’an. He too was puzzled—if the records from Destiny’s Tome were indeed implying that Zhao Ping’an needed to replace every part of his body?

But was that even possible? Just as Zhao Ping’an had said, attempting such a replacement would probably result in death long before achieving the Earthly Immortal Realm!

After resting for one night in Beiwang Manor, by early next morning, the Hu Family brought over a list of their properties for Su Yang and Zhao Ping’an to review.

Su Yang didn’t bother with these matters at all, leaving everything for Zhao Ping’an to handle; he didn’t like managing such affairs.

Of course, Zhao Ping’an wasn’t familiar with these either and just took note of them to find someone to help manage later on. With Su Yang there, the Hu Family members didn’t dare to plot anything and certainly had to work earnestly.

By the time they finished with these affairs, it was already morning. Looking at Zhao Ping’an, who was hesitantly standing by his side, Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, you can go back first. Afraid your mother’s worrying after you didn’t return all night?"

Zhao Ping’an wore an embarrassed smile and said, "No, it’s just that today is Saturday and my little brother and sister are both at home. My mom doesn’t have time to watch them, so I need to take care of them..."

...

At nine o’clock in the morning, Li Chunhua busied herself all morning, and finally, when there were fewer people, she managed to sit down and catch her breath.

After eating some dry food she had brought and sipping a few gulps of cold boiled water, Li Chunhua saw her youngest son and daughter crying and walking towards her from the other end of the alley. The little girl was covered in dirt as if she had rolled around on the ground. As for the little son, his forehead was swollen with a large bump, red and inflamed.

"Shun’er, Yuan’er, what... what happened to you?" Li Chunhua hurriedly ran over, embracing the two children in her arms, looking at her son’s swollen forehead with distress.

The little daughter was crying too hard to speak, but the little son Zhao Pingshun, being somewhat tougher, indignantly said, "The Little Overlord hit me with his Golden Cudgel and made me like this!"

"Ah?" Li Chunhua was startled.

The Little Overlord was actually a child who lived nearby, a bit older than Li Chunhua’s two kids.

His father was a notorious local ruffian, and his mother was well-known as a shrew in the vicinity; both of them often bullied others in the neighborhood, with no one daring to provoke them. Their child had inherited both their traits—arrogant and overbearing. Not yet ten years old, he had earned himself the nickname Little Overlord. He typically strutted around the area with impunity, with nobody daring to confront him.

Once, the Little Overlord had stolen an old man’s cane and pushed the elder to the ground, causing him to bleed profusely from the head. When the old man’s son could not tolerate it and went to the Little Overlord’s home to seek justice, he ended up getting his leg broken by a group led by the Little Overlord’s father.

Since that incident, the Little Overlord had become even more tyrannical in the area. The neighbors, even fearing this child more than the adults, were too afraid to speak out.

Li Chunhua’s family were newcomers and had always been at a disadvantage in the area. Especially after her husband’s death, Li Chunhua became even more reticent, never daring to provoke conflicts with the neighbors.

She was aware of the Little Overlord, which was why she had always told her children to steer clear of him. Now, what was happening? How did her two kids come into conflict with the Little Overlord and even get beaten by him?
