Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Therefore, when practicing any martial art, one must always nurture thoughts of compassion and kindness.

Without Buddhism as a foundation, practicing martial arts would inevitably cause harm to oneself.

The deeper the martial arts skill is practiced, the more severe the injury to oneself. If the practice involved nothing more than punching, kicking, and using weapons and hidden weapons as external skills, it would be tolerable, as the harm to oneself would be minimal. One only needs a strong body to withstand it...

The old monk does not know how to fight or compete with others and never wishes to engage in combat.

However, the old monk sees that you, Mr. Jiang, possess a martial arts repertoire that is incredibly diverse, although you also have your own system, it is too eager for instant success and perfection, and now you are deeply mired in demonic obstacles and bottlenecks from which you cannot extricate yourself.”

”Hmm?!”

Jiang Dali was shocked and wanted to retort, but he realized that the other party might indeed have hit the nail on the head.

His current state of martial arts was precisely as the other described.

Even with his own system, his eagerness for completeness had left it rather disordered, and he had not yet fully integrated it into a cohesive whole, entering a bottleneck.

Not to mention anything else.

Even based on Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, the horizontal martial arts he aimed to create through a different approach were currently in a crucial period of choice and confusion.

Until now, through communication and exchange with Wang Yuyan, he had managed to integrate and unify skills that reached the Shocking the Ancient and Modern level, such as Iron Cloth Shirt, Thirteen Grand Protectors Horizontal Training Skill, and Golden Body Skill.

Then, by utilizing the Great Absorption Technique to absorb the Inner Strength of others and enhance his own physique, he created what was currently the most basic Cross Training Martial Arts—Great Strength Training.

In the state of this Cross Training Martial Arts, the skin, muscles, bones, and so on would become harder and tougher, exceeding the limits of a normal human body by more than ten times, with highly concentrated strength and improved resistance to blows and overall power.

However, the martial arts rating of this Great Strength Training was only of Earth Rank, not even considered a secret technique.

It was far from achieving special effects such as domineering body, Strong God, Vajra Invulnerability, or Perfectly Round.

So the next step.

His plan was to fully comprehend and integrate the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill into his Cross Training system, and to optimize issues such as the strength of his True Qi and the consumption of the technique.

But this step was not simple.

Therefore, Jiang Dali fell into a bottleneck.

”You really are extraordinary, old monk.”

Jiang Dali suddenly smiled, looking at the Sweeping Monk, he released his folded arms across his chest, and his momentum began to slowly rise, as the Yin God connected with the Heaven and Earth Power from all directions, ”But shallow is the understanding from mere words, one must personally experience to truly grasp it.

To meet with an expert, one must fully engage in combat to truly gain something.”

The Sweeping Monk smiled faintly, ”If you do not fight with me, do you therefore gain nothing?”

Jiang Dali replied, ”Indeed. Only through combat, through battle after battle, between striking others and getting struck, can a person truly grow.”

The Sweeping Monk continued, ”You should know that you cannot win.”

Jiang Dali said, ”I do not seek victory! I also know it’s very difficult to win against you, there are many who I, Jiang Dali, admit being unable to defeat, but there are few known within Shaolin.

However, in the way of martial arts, many things cannot be explained by victory or defeat alone. Without attempting things beyond one’s capability, one can never grow.”

”Well said!”

The Sweeping Monk praised, ”To seek the way without seeking victory is indeed to have a heart that seeks the Way. If you wish to fight, then it is easy. My hand is right here...”

As he spoke, he slowly stepped forward.

He extended a palm, aiming for the top of Jiang Dali’s head.

Jiang Dali’s eyes concentrated, feeling as though the opponent’s approach was plain and ordinary without any flair, the withered hand extending seemed like an elder patting the head of his junior—utterly commonplace without anything special.

But such an unremarkable palm gave Jiang Dali a strange illusion as if space and time were in conflict.

This palm seemed very slow.

Yet when it reached his forehead, he suddenly broke into a sweat as he realized the palm’s speed was extremely fast.

In the eyes of outsiders like Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng, they only saw the Sweeping Monk slowly step forward and strike a palm towards Jiang Dali. The hand was about to touch Jiang Dali’s forehead, yet Jiang Dali didn’t dodge at all, only sweat could be seen on his forehead as if his entire body was pressed down by something, rendering him unable to move.

Xiao Feng, the strongest in the field, sensed something amiss with his extremely sensitive Yin God.

Because the instant the Sweeping Monk made his move, a subtle and almost imperceptible divine power locked down a space nine zhang in radius.

This kind of sealing was almost silent.

As the old monk’s palm struck out, the power of Heaven and Earth within that nine zhang space, along with the monk’s essence, qi, and spirit, all were imbued in his palm.

Thus when this palm struck, it seemed unremarkable, yet in both the real world and the spiritual world, it was bound to be earth-shatteringly amazing.

”My benefactor!!”

Xiao Feng shouted loudly.

In that moment, Jiang Dali had already come to his senses and reacted. He gave up his sluggish coupling of Yin God with the power of Heaven and Earth and bellowed as his body began to emit a blinding and archaic golden light.

Boom!!

The ground under his body, filled with true qi and seemingly heavier, exploded and collapsed beneath his feet.

Pop!

The aged palm of the old monk struck Jiang Dali’s Yintang acupoint on his forehead, but the sound that erupted was not of a metallic clashing but a light popping noise.

Jiang Dali, who had instantly entered the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill state, only felt a tightness on his forehead as if he had hit water, experiencing two completely different sensations.

One was a sinking softness, and the other was like the fierce impact of falling from a great height onto water.

These two starkly different sensations burst forth simultaneously, full of contradictory conflict.

Jiang Dali, who had just entered the third level of his domineering body stage, his Vajra Body violently shook, and he was forced back three steps from this conflicted force, his eyes bulging in sheer astonishment.

Nine zhang!

The Sweeping Monk had almost reached the limit of the Heavenly Human Realm, definitely in a perfect state of unity of the Yin Yang Two Gods, able to mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth within nine zhang to enhance every move.

No wonder the usually light and airy Sweeping Monk could achieve incredible feats, with a simple sweep sending books back to their place, and just now, with an effortless sweep of his broom, he had dissolved Xiao Feng’s Dragon Subduing Palm.

This person had truly reached a state where he could at all times enter Unity of Heaven and Man, drawing on Heavenly Person Power to enhance himself, which did not cause him significant mental strain.

Even because his divine intent had sealed off a nine zhang space of Heaven and Earth, other Heavenly Human Realm experts would find it difficult to break through his seal to mobilize Heavenly Person Power.

As Jiang Dali’s heart was stirred by tumultuous waves, Xiao Feng had already let out a long howl and leapt into the air, his palms striking simultaneously, sending a Dragon-shaped Energy rushing towards the Sweeping Monk.

Yet the old monk seemed deaf and blind to it, paying no attention whatsoever.

The Dragon-shaped Energy that Xiao Feng had struck out with his palms had just reached three feet in front of the old monk when it suddenly hit an invisible Qi Wall.

It was like crashing into a net; despite the powerful palm strike, it found no purchase, and instead, the Qi Wall rebounded the energy back towards Jiang Dali.

”What!?”

Everyone present drastically changed their expressions in shock.

Jiang Dali, however, was not surprised at all. At this moment, far from being disheartened, he was thrilled, full of a longing for greater and more powerful forces, his spirits high and with a loud cry, he charged forth.

”Again!!”

Boom!—

His palms turned to claws, emitting a gleaming golden color, tearing through the air like ferocious dragon claws. The air whistled as if the flow was being pressed through a thin tube, the fierce Gang Wind directly aimed at the Sweeping Monk, lifting his white whiskers...
