Chapter 365: 302: Physical Sanctification?
He refrained from using Primordial Qi, relying purely on the force of his physical body. Nonetheless, wherever his fist imprint passed, the vacuum shattered and collapsed.
With every punch he threw, the momentum of his body intensified, each punch stronger than the previous one. The mere sound of his roaring punches was enough to induce fear in many.
The collision of pure physical strength and the Heavenly Earthly Force invoked by the two caused an eruption of power that shocked everyone present.
At this moment, celestial beings and those martial artists on the cusp of breaking through the Gang Qi Realm were all moved by the fighting power shown by Pei Xuanjing.
“Is this formidable body the reason he could reverse the Martial Arts third rank and kill heavenly rank powers?”
Although there had been news of Pei Xuanjing reversing the martial arts third rank to kill Heavenly Rank powers, sadly, no one witnessed that fight. Everyone had regrets, even thinking that Pei Min had used some secret technique.
But now, Pei Xuanjing, without using Primordial Qi and relying only on his formidable body, exerted such terrifying combat power, suppressing the two Heavenly Rank experts with his strength alone.
At this moment, they erroneously assumed that Pei Xuanjing had fought a Heavenly Rank power holder during his Martial Arts third rank period with the exceptional strength shown by his robust physique.
The Way of the Physical Body?
Many were left in contemplation.
Just like when Pei Xuanjing first arrived in this world, he discovered that due to the unusually rich Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, the Dao of Qi Refining advanced swiftly. As long as they weren’t dim-witted, with the help of rich Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, they had a high chance of advancing to the third rank of the Gang Qi Realm.
In this way, for the martial artists of this world, the only barrier to surmount was breaking through to the Heavenly Rank.
But now, Pei Xuanjing’s current state has provided some enlightenment for many martial artists who had been stuck at the third rank for a long time, unable to make a breakthrough.
Aside from a few individuals, most martial artists in their situation no longer held any hope of breaking through to the Heavenly Rank. They knew that without a significant opportunity, they might be stuck at this stage for their entire life.
Therefore, these third-rank martial artists had only one goal—to enhance their strength. Unable to ascend to the Heavenly Rank, they continuously strengthened themselves, to ensure their survival if they offended a Heavenly Rank being one day.
That’s why when Pei Xuanjing killed a Heavenly Rank being using a third-rank Martial Arts, it caused a sensation across the world. Hadn’t he rapidly advanced to the Heavenly Rank and performed remarkable feats such as killing Hè Lián Qìngtiān and defeating the Red Sun Calvary, many might have sought him out to uncover the secret behind his power.
Now, the strength of Pei Xuanjing’s body led many to believe that they had uncovered his secret—he managed to kill a Heavenly Rank being using his formidable physique.
From then on, countless people made a silent decision in their hearts. Since they couldn’t break through to the Heavenly Rank, they might as well strengthen body cultivation, perhaps even being able to kill a Heavenly Rank being like Young Master Min.
Of course, it wasn’t just these martial artists stuck at the third rank of Martial Arts unable to ascend to the Heavenly Rank who had such thoughts.
Even the Heavenly Rank martial artists watching were shocked by the formidable combat power exhibited by Pei Xuanjing’s physical body alone.
Compared to the third-rank experts, they were more familiar with the terror of a Heavenly Rank being when invoking the Heavenly Earthly Force. Therefore, they clearly understood how terrifying Pei Xuanjing’s physical body was.
Perhaps, besides communicating with Heaven and Earth, they could also attempt to cultivate the physical body?
Even if they couldn’t reach Young Master Min’s level, it could still significantly enhance their strength.
This was the idea that floated in the minds of many Heavenly Rank beings.
Let’s be clear, even after ascending to a Heavenly Rank, strengthening oneself wasn’t easy. It sounds grand to communicate with the Heaven and Earth and comprehend the principles of the universe, but only the Heavenly Rank beings who had actually cultivated understood how torturous and difficult this process was.
The Heaven and Earth are infinitely vast, while the human body is limited.
Attempting to communicate with the Heaven and Earth using one’s body is an extremely difficult task.
Aside from those with exceptional talent, most Heavenly Rank beings could only rely on their hard work, grinding day by day, cautiously communicating with the Heaven and Earth, for fear of getting lost in the endless cosmos.
“However, while this method can strengthen one’s combat power, it will also delay cultivation,” someone thought privately.
Indeed, enhancing one’s physical body can rapidly increase one’s abilities, but the human body is ultimately limited. If one’s finite energy is partly concentrated on the physical body, the cultivation of Heaven and Earth communication will become increasingly slow, delaying the original cultivation process.
Thus, whether to follow this method of cultivation requires careful decision-making.
In fact, this was true not only in this world but also in the Great Ming World, where Pei Xuanjing was born.
Everyone knew that cultivating physical toughness combined with the cultivation of True Qi rendered one’s martial arts powerful. Still, beyond a certain level, they would make a choice and prioritize.
Cultivating both paths may enhance combat power, but it would also delay the progression of martial arts.
After all, not everyone was like Pei Xuanjing, who had a simulator to help him balance the cultivation of several different paths and still exceed others.
Those who practiced such a method were usually extraordinarily talented and ambitious, believing they could keep pace and not fall behind others.
“Such a formidable body, is he aiming to become a sage through physical cultivation?” Ye Daoyuan, watching Pei Xuanjing’s terrifying physical strength, was struck by surging waves in his heart.
As a strong man whose one foot had stepped into the Celestial Human Realm, his vision was extraordinary. The first thing he thought of was a state-of-cultivation described in the Taoist teachings.
The path that Pei Xuanjing was walking on was strikingly similar to becoming a saint through physical cultivation as described in the classics.
However, even someone as strong as Ye Daoyuan understood that dividing his attention like this would surely delay his own cultivation.
No matter what interpretations or opinions everyone present had about Pei Xuanjing’s formidable physique, whether they agreed or disagreed,
Pei Xuanjing’s performance today had left a deep impression on everyone, deeply imprinting the idea of strengthening combat power through body cultivation in everyone’s hearts.
Perhaps some might give up, believing that it would delay their cultivation.
However, others would undoubtedly choose this path to enhance their strength.
Perhaps, in the beginning, the number of people would be small, but it would slowly grow.
Maybe after several decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, this line of cultivation would flourish, becoming one of the mainstream cultivation methods. This was something no one could predict.
