Yihe Gate.

Main Peak.

Chen Sheng crossed his legs and propped up his body with his left hand.

His right hand waved continuously, transforming into illusory shadows that kept falling.

It was like the clashing of gold and iron.

The piercing sound echoed in the sky above the mountain peak.

It mingled with rumbling thunder.

His body kept switching between the withered and glory states.

Secluded in the mountains,

he was unaware of the passage of time.

With Chen Sheng’s current strength, he didn’t need to eat or sleep.

Having completely immersed himself in the state of practicing secret skills and having lost most of his senses, he didn’t pay attention to the passage of time in the outside world.

At this moment,

a whole day had passed since Li Wuji and Sun Yihe left for Kyoto to handle affairs.

In that day,

Chen Sheng had maintained the same posture.

While cultivating the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing, he also kept perfecting the illusory body visualization in his mind.

The proficiency of the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing slowly increased.

Even his soul’s spiritual power made progress.

[Chen Sheng]

[Strength: 5970]

[Agility: 5246]

[Constitution: 5551]

[Soul: 19]

[Skill Column: Thunder Breath Level 3:0/20000, Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing Level 1:0/200]

[Skill Points: 8493]

Now,

as long as he maintained the withered state,

even if Chen Sheng did nothing while sitting, he could increase his three attributes by around five hundred points every day.

What’s more,

while practicing the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing, Chen Sheng continuously stimulated the thunder to wash over his body at faster and faster speeds.

Until now,

in one day’s time, Chen Sheng’s attributes had increased by about six hundred points across the board.

Even the lowest agility attribute had successfully broken through the 5,000-point milestone.

At this pace,

as long as Chen Sheng had enough time,

he could raise his physical strength to an absurd extent.

To be far stronger than now – ten times, even a hundred times.

By then,

he wouldn’t fear not being able to kill a Heavenly Person.

It’s just a pity,

there’s too little time.

Chen Sheng could only seek another way.

At this moment,

in the illusory body visualization constructed by Chen Sheng,

a large number of strength particles were firmly bound to his body by his spiritual power.

The next level of the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing,

is called the Prosperity Realm.

It requires that the practitioner’s strength be stored within their organs and blood.

Just listening to it,

it doesn’t seem too different from the first level, the Withering Realm.

But it is not the case.

Strength particles are not insubstantial.

They are the foundation of Chen Sheng’s strength and the basis for building his formidable physique.

Only through the transformation of spiritual power can they be separated from various parts of the body.

It’s imaginable how difficult it is to store such terrifying energy in a specific part of the body.

Muscles and bones are one thing.

Their positions do not easily change,

and Chen Sheng’s muscles and bones are already strong and hard enough.

As long as he guides the strength particles into them, and stores them in a specific way, he can succeed.

But blood and organs,

that’s a different story.

On the level of toughness, the organs hardly compare to muscles and bones.

As for blood, it is in a state of perpetual flow.

A single careless moment could cause the strength particles to spiral out of control.

So,

after a day of trying,

although Chen Sheng became more proficient with the manipulation of strength particles,

he made no progress in cultivating the second level.

After fruitless attempts,

Chen Sheng eventually gave up.

He finally realized why the skill point requirements for leveling up secret skills were so low.

Because it’s not difficult to cultivate secret skills.

What’s really difficult is how to improve one’s spiritual power.

Fortunately,

over the course of a day, aside from the increase in physical strength, Chen Sheng made some gains.

Using the illusory visualization in his mind to cultivate secret skills was much harder than he thought.

Not only did he need to simulate the body’s response in real-time, but he also had to carefully sense the position of strength particles in order to capture them with his spiritual power.

During this process, Chen Sheng’s spiritual power slowly increased.

Although the speed wasn’t as fast as directly absorbing it from Xiao Hei,

the two methods of upgrading didn’t conflict, and he made some minor progress.

Next,

he would wait for Li Wuji to return.

Apart from practicing secret skills simultaneously, Chen Sheng had another request for Li Wuji…

to use the power of the Martial Arts Association to find people with Heavenly Person cells in their bodies for him.

According to Chen Sheng’s estimation,

the amount of spiritual power required for him to reach the second level of the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing was much more than the first level.

If he relied on his own cultivation, by the time his spiritual power met the requirement, his ashes would probably have already been scattered by Heavenly People.

No matter what,

Chen Sheng didn’t want to go down that road.

With that in mind,

he sank back into practice, ready to continue refining the visualization in his mind.

At this time,

throughout the entire Yihe Gate, except for the mountain peak where Chen Sheng was,

everywhere else was quiet, without a single living being’s sound.

After a brief rest, Shen Ziming and the other Yihe Gate disciples, including Shen Ziming, had left the Yihe Gate again for Kyoto in the middle of last night.

Before leaving, Shen Ziming had checked on Chen Sheng’s situation.

Originally, they wanted to leave someone behind to take care of Chen Sheng, in case he had any needs and couldn’t contact the outside world.

But Chen Sheng directly refused.

Strictly speaking,

he was a disabled person.

But even so,

he was still a disabled person who could shatter a mountain peak with a single punch.

Chen Sheng had always had a clear understanding of his own strength.

So,

at Chen Sheng’s insistence,

Shen Ziming and the others all left the Yihe Gate and headed to Kyoto to participate in the rescue operation.

In the meantime, no one else had returned.
