Soon, Ye Qingfeng had a general understanding of the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art.

This martial art can be said to be an extremely profound body-refining technique. In a sense, it shares similarities with the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill that Ye Qingfeng himself cultivated, but it is unique and adds various divine wonders.

This technique advocates both internal and external cultivation, combining body refining and Qi cultivation. It can temper the physical body, train internal energy, and also hone one’s spirit and will, ultimately reaching a state of invincibility, immunity to all poisons, adamantine indestructibility, and ultimate rigidity. Ye Qingfeng had already witnessed the power of this technique; once unleashed, the human body appears to be clad in golden armor, transforming into an Adamantine body that can resist all external attacks. At the same time, it possesses immense strength, so even the most ordinary moves, when empowered by the Adamantine body, become incredibly powerful.

Once this divine art is mastered, one can stand invincible even without any internal energy, relying solely on their terrifying strength. Moreover, once this divine art is activated, it can bring out the full potential of the practitioner’s martial arts, allowing for free control. This is because the practitioner’s cultivation, body, spirit, technique, and will have become one, forming a cohesive whole that no external force can shake, which can be called the Primordial Unity Body. At the same time, it can greatly increase the force of strikes, with every move naturally imbued with extremely strong internal energy.

The most important point is that in the Adamantine Body state, it is immune to any acupoint sealing or meridian blocking techniques. Martial arts such as the Absorption Art, the North Profound Divine Art, the Star Devouring Art, the Jade Maiden Skill, and the Demonic Art are also ineffective.

After some contemplation, Ye Qingfeng discovered some clues within this divine art. In his opinion, neither Gu Santong nor the later Cheng Shifei had probably cultivated this divine art to its peak.

Given the characteristics of this martial art, if cultivated to its peak, it would probably be enough to contend with martial artists from higher planes.

What surprised Ye Qingfeng the most was that this technique also included mental cultivation, which could temper the practitioner’s will to be more resilient. In ordinary wuxia worlds, like the Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber world Ye Qingfeng had previously experienced, the application of mental power was rudimentary and shallow, almost outside the realm of true understanding. This led to martial artists’ judgments of danger being mostly limited to their five senses.

However, mental power can enable premonition, sensing malice, feeling people like needle pricks, avoiding everything seen and felt, detecting things before they happen, and even avoiding danger without seeing or hearing it.

From this, it can be seen that the miraculous profoundness of the mental path cannot be fully described in a few words.

Ye Qingfeng’s mental cultivation had already reached the realm of “Spirit Roaming the Void.” With his current mental power, he had already surpassed many grandmaster-level martial artists, and there was still enormous room for growth.

In this world, secret methods for cultivating mental power were inherently rare. Ye Qingfeng had only obtained one Supreme Yoga Tantra after traversing several worlds. He never expected that the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art in this world could also cultivate mental power. Admittedly, the mental cultivation method of this technique was somewhat shallow, far from comparable to the Supreme Yoga Tantra, but it was still an unexpected surprise.

Moreover, the wisdom of others can be used to improve one’s own. This divine art also had its unique aspects for tempering the will.

What surprised Ye Qingfeng even more was that the entry into this divine art would be very difficult. After all, even a martial arts prodigy like Gu Santong took nineteen years to achieve mastery and complete his transformation. He estimated that even with his exceptional talent and various divine arts, which greatly reduced the cultivation cost, it would still take at least three to five years to master it.

However, after a careful study, he discovered that this divine art and the Absorption Art were actually complementary.

As the two most powerful divine arts in this plane, only the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art could counter the Absorption Art, which absorbed all martial arts in the world, and only the Absorption Art, which absorbed others’ cultivation for one’s own use, could contend with the indestructible Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art. Combining the Absorption Art and the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art, these two peerless divine arts complemented each other, greatly empowering the practitioner.

Thus, Ye Qingfeng began to study the Absorption Art.

He already had the North Profound Divine Art as a foundation, so the Absorption Art naturally wouldn’t be difficult for him.

The reason why the Absorption Art and the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art complement each other is because the Absorption Art can compensate for the consumption of cultivating the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art. Only by absorbing others’ cultivation through the Absorption Art can one accumulate enough true qi to cultivate the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art. And cultivating the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art can temper the true qi absorbed by the Absorption Art, and also eliminate impurities, making one’s essence, qi, and spirit purer, thereby effectively compensating for the drawback of unstable foundation caused by the rapid increase in cultivation through the Absorption Art.

However, although the Absorption Art is overbearing, it is not without flaws.

When using this technique to absorb a person’s cultivation, one can only obtain two to three tenths of it. This also explains why, twenty years ago, after Zhu Wushi absorbed the cultivation of one hundred and eight people from the eight major sects, he was still only comparable to Gu Santong.

In the original work, Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun had a final duel. Even after he later absorbed the cultivation of countless more people, he did not gain an overwhelming advantage over Cao Zhengchun. This shows that there was no absolute disparity in their cultivation.

In other words, if Zhu Wushi had truly absorbed and refined all the cultivation he had absorbed, his cultivation should have been as profound as the ocean, and he should have had an absolute overwhelming advantage over Cao Zhengchun’s fifty years of Heavenly Gang Boy Skill.

Having clarified the mysteries of these two divine arts, Ye Qingfeng finally understood why Gu Santong said he could regain his cultivation in a year and a half—it was relying on the Absorption Art.

Thus, it would not be difficult for Ye Qingfeng to master the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art in a short period of time.

Gu Santong spent a full nineteen years cultivating the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art because his cultivation was not high when he started. In addition, he disliked using the sinister Absorption Art, which is why it took him so long.

Ye Qingfeng’s cultivation, however, was already four to five hundred years old, and all of it had been converted into North Profound True Qi, which was extremely pure. He started at a much higher level than Gu Santong. Furthermore, his North Profound Divine Art complemented the Absorption Art, increasing its power by several times. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to quickly master the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art.

According to his calculations, he would only need half a month to cultivate the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art to perfection.

Once the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art is mastered, Ye Qingfeng’s shortcomings will be rectified.

In this way, he cultivates the lower dantian with the Nine Yin Divine Art, Nine Yang Divine Art, Pure Yang Limitless Skill, and Bodhidharma Internal Skill; he cultivates the middle dantian with the North Profound Divine Art and Absorption Art; he cultivates the upper dantian with the Supreme Yoga Tantra; he governs various divine arts throughout his body with the Tai Chi Divine Art, Cosmic Shift, and Tai Xuan Dao Chapter; and he tempers his physical body with the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill and the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Art.

With so many divine arts blessing him, externally refining the body and internally nourishing the spirit, from the inside out, he finally achieves complete perfection without leakage.

Let’s put this aside for now.

While Ye Qingfeng, Gu Santong, and Cheng Shifei were each studying martial arts, the outside world was frantically searching for them. Both the Eastern Depot and the Dragon Guarding Villa had mobilized two-thirds of their forces to find them. However, even if Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi were as cunning as foxes, they would never have imagined that they were hiding in an inn near the Eastern Depot.

During this time, Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, Lei Bin, Lian Sheng, Fatty Chen, and Xi Yu also arrived one after another.
