Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Struck by the giant axe, the giant bear raised its arms to block, the protective gang wind on its body flickering, yet not shattering; the Earth-Split Bear’s earth-grade bloodline innate talents are its protective gang Qi and overwhelming strength.

Though the protective gang Qi remained unbroken, the offensive momentum stalled.

Soon, the path was blocked by the Second Tier Late Stage Mang Lizard Beast of the Fifth Elder; Liu Jiuqian’s Red Refining dared not approach, but hid behind the Mang Lizard Beast, spewing green poisonous mist towards the giant bear.

The two attacked from afar with magic techniques.

With four against one, the giant bear did not fall behind.

However, four more Foundation Establishment opponents soon joined the fray.

Liu Jiuqian and his companion quickly fell into disarray.

As the Pill Master within the clan, Liu Xuanting had to rush out of the Gathering Spirit Array to support Liu Jiuqian and his companion, but he was not skilled in magical combat, and his presence only slowed down their defeat.

However, despair loomed for them.

”You’ve already reached Second Tier Body Refining?” The Third Elder gasped when confronting Wu Weixiong for a moment.

Flame Wolf’s claws only left three faint white marks on Wu Weixiong.

And with a single punch, Wu Weixiong injured Flame Wolf’s internal organs, causing blood to seep from its mouth and nose.

”Hmph, I owe it to you old Liu Family,” Wu Weixiong snorted coldly, closing the distance rapidly.

Back when he was at the Late Stage Qi Cultivation, the Liu Family didn’t want to provide Foundation Establishment resources, so they coaxed him into Body Refining, aiming to tame some captured adult Demon Beasts.

At that time, he naively believed the Liu Family’s words and focused on Body Refining, unexpectedly discovering that his roots were just as remarkable, even surpassing his Spirit Root, advancing in Body Cultivation.

In the following fifty years, both Dharma Body and Body Cultivation were refined together, giving him the confidence to plot for the Liu Family’s Sacred Beast Pill today.

The Third Elder retreated urgently, afraid to let his Second Tier Middle Stage physique get close.

His face was rather bleak, with a trace of regret instinctively rising in his heart.

If only back then...

But it was only a moment; he shook his head secretly. Some truths are known to them high up the Liu Family hierarchy, but a thousand-year legacy involves clan interests, no longer inclusive and symbiotic like the founding period; there aren’t enough resources for clansmen, so how could they be given to outsiders?

...

”Puh~” One hour later, another Foundation Establishment cultivator had formed a flanking position with Wu Weixiong, trapping the Liu Family’s side’s strongest Three Elder. Wu Weixiong seized the opportunity to approach, unleashing a mysterious fist technique displaying a sky-covering boxing form, shattering the Third Elder’s Late Stage Foundation Establishment protective Dharma shield within three breaths, eventually spewing a mouthful of bloody mist and tumbling to the ground.

Li Ji’an also felt a tremor in his Sea of Consciousness at the moment the fist technique was displayed, exceeding his understanding of Qi and Blood Activation in the Immortal Dynasty across two lifetimes.

Originally, after comprehending Qi and Blood Activation, he created a Qi and Blood Utilization Technique, believing that the maximum power of Body Refining Qi and Blood lay in close-combat brawling. Upon entering the Cultivation Realm and interacting with Chen Zhaohu, he further affirmed his understanding.

However, at this moment, the fist technique Wu Weixiong had just performed transcended pure Qi and Blood Physical Strength.

It contained an incomprehensible, mysterious power to him!

”Could this be the correct opening for Body Cultivation?” Li Ji’an was both thrilled and ashamed of his understanding of this fist technique.

Undoubtedly, he had only initially entered the Cultivation Realm in his previous life, and learned the most about Body Cultivation’s situation from Chen Zhaohu. Combined with his creation of techniques in the Immortal Dynasty, he developed fixed ideas, assuming Body Cultivation was as Chen Zhaohu described.

Suddenly aware, Chen Zhaohu’s background, environment, recognition is certainly not complete.

Even within the Golden Splendor Immortal City, those scattered records likely possess very limited knowledge regarding Body Cultivation.

After all, Body Cultivation is no longer the mainstream here nowadays, information about Body Cultivation is merely superficial, only its historical development remains, lacking practical applications.

Clearly, Wu Weixiong ahead has a much deeper understanding of Body Cultivation; at least this unknown fist technique transcends all Body Cultivation knowledge Li Ji’an encountered in the Immortal City.

”Boom!” At this moment, the giant bear suddenly expanded ten zhang, stomping down, the Second Tier Middle Stage Giant Lizard Beast exploded instantly, guts and blood sprawled.

”Beast!” The Fifth Elder’s teeth gnashed in fury, with his life spirit pet dead, retaliating against him while his aura plummeted.

Thus, the four Foundation Establishment Stage Elders of the Liu Family, the two strongest battle forces were severely injured, temporarily losing combat strength.

Liu Jiuqian quickly summoned Red Refining to take the Third and Fifth Elders away.

”After fifty years, the Liu Family has truly regressed,” Wu Weixiong approached slowly as the battle was settled, sneering at the corners of his mouth.

”Little girl, quite pretty, I’ll keep you as a slave to spare your life.” Then he brazenly ogled Liu Jiuqian, feeling quite satisfied.

Liu Xuanting stepped forward, shielding Liu Jiuqian behind him.

”Weixiong, stand down.”

Wu Weixiong glanced coldly at him: ”What is it? Does the Grand Elder wish for Wu to put the greater good first again?”

His grandfather and father both served as pill room slaves to Liu Xuanting; ever since he was young he’s had significant respect for this Grand Elder. Yet, whenever he encountered unfair treatment, Liu Xuanting would advise him for the sake of the greater good.

He hadn’t even known for the longest time what the greater good he advocated for really entailed.

Not until he decided to leave fifty years ago did he realize that the greater good did not include him.

Liu Xuanting shook his head: ”For the sake of your grandfather and father, I wish to spare your life.”

”Ha ha ha, Grand Elder, do you know? You are the one I loathe most!” Wu Weixiong’s expression instantly darkened, taking steps forward, with killing intent overflowing.

Liu Xuanting’s old face became uncomfortable, he snorted coldly, immediately retrieving an earth-yellow Crystal Pill from his Storage Pouch!
