Chapter 273: : Exchanging Secret Arts （Part 2）

“I haven’t specifically tried to understand it, after all, with my realm, it’s too early to come into contact with these things. I only know that becoming an Eighth-Order Realm allows you to control a Heaven and Earth Attribute.” Although he didn’t understand what Xiahou Zhengde meant by asking, Lin Tianyi still honestly answered.

“Well, let me tell you the main points.”

Xiahou Zhengde paused, and continued, “Leaving aside the basics like Cultivation Methods, at least controlling a Heaven and Earth Attribute is a characteristic of Eighth-Order Realm and above, but the key is that if you want to control these attributes, the prerequisite is to homogenize your physical body with that attribute.”

“Homogenize?” Lin Tianyi looked puzzled after hearing this.

“It means guiding the Heaven and Earth Attribute through your body, using the attribute to erode your flesh, bones, and organs, gradually replacing them and eventually transforming your whole body into the attribute you cultivate.”

Lin Tianyi frowned and thought for a while, and seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly became strange.

Seeing through what Lin Tianyi was thinking, Xiahou Zhengde nodded: “It’s like what you think, the Eighth-Order Realm is already considered another form of life, with Human Race consciousness, and usually maintains the Human Race form, but they can transform into various forms such as fire, water, wind, and mist at any time.”

“How can you fight if you become like this?” Lin Tianyi felt a little uneasy after his thoughts were confirmed.

Think about it, when your opponent turns into a ball of fire, or a pool of water, simple physical attacks can’t hurt him at all.

Xiahou Zhengde was stunned by the question, and looked at Lin Tianyi speechlessly.

“I didn’t expect you little fellow to be a battle maniac.” Yuchi Zhan was the first to react, pointing at Lin Tianyi and laughing loudly: “Isn’t this simple? Just take out equal power and beat each other up.”

“But if you want to ask how to defeat the strong with the weak, then I tell you, there is no way. That is already a different level of power, unless your personal power can overwhelm the Heaven and Earth Force within his Domain.”

“Understood.” Lin Tianyi nodded in acceptance.

“Advancing to the Eighth-Order requires attribute infusion, but Bone Forging will make the bones difficult to homogenize due to increased resistance, which will affect your Cultivation progress, and the most serious consequence is that there will be no hope of advancement.” Xiahou Zhengde continued to talk about the previous topic when he saw this.

“What about Body Cultivator? Do Body Cultivators have such problems?” Lin Tianyi asked, recalling Xiahou Zhengde’s initial question.

“Body Cultivator are different. Body Cultivator specialize in cultivating themselves, using their bodies as tools independent of Heaven and Earth, so there is no such thing as body infusion and transformation. The requirements for Bone Forging are only higher, not lower. Of course, there are also those who specialize in Mental Strength. If they don’t guide Force into their bodies, they can still forge bones.”

Lin Tianyi frowned and thought for a while, and asked again: “But there are quite a few Martial Artist who forge bones, and there are many Bone Forging Art circulating on the market. According to Senior, aren’t they cutting off their own future by doing this?”

“If I didn’t tell you, would you know that Bone Forging would affect advancement to the Eighth-Order Realm?” Xiahou Zhengde spread his hands.

“How many Eighth-Order Realm known in the world are from Rogue Cultivators? It is because this information is monopolized by large Sect and aristocratic families, so how would those Rogue Cultivators who don’t know the content know that cultivating Bone Forging Art is cutting off their own future.”

Lin Tianyi was stunned when he heard this.

Xiahou Zhengde continued: “You might want to say that there are still people in large Sect who forge bones. Those people are those who are not talented enough to advance and have no hope. Choosing Bone Forging to enhance their Combat Power as much as possible will allow them to survive better in the Sect.”

“Asking you what your future major Cultivation direction will be, Qi Cultivator or Body Cultivator, is for this purpose.”

“You are considered half one of us, and we can’t treat you badly. If you choose Qi Cultivator, we will find other substitutes of equal value to trade with you; if you choose Body Cultivator, then there is no such concern.”

The Council Hall became quiet, and the eyes of the three Clan Leaders locked on Lin Tianyi, waiting for his answer.

Lin Tianyi smiled bitterly in his heart.

He himself didn’t know which direction to major in.

His outstanding Combat Power, far surpassing his peers, all relied on the Endless Vitality Sutra and Body Tempering Art, these two Cultivation Methods.

However, as his Realm continued to improve, the potential problems of these two Cultivation Methods gradually became prominent.

One is incomplete and the content is not complete, and the other is passively cultivated with half-knowledge. How to advance depends entirely on exploration. Not to mention the Eighth-Order Realm, Lin Tianyi has no idea how to advance to the Seventh-Order Realm.

The Endless Vitality Sutra still has some hope, after all, there are a lot of top-level Cultivation Methods in the Storage Space for reference.

The Body Tempering Art is a complete mess.

He finally met the Xiahou Clan. If he can’t get their Cultivation Method for the time being, then he should start with Bone Forging, which can not only enhance his Strength, but also help him to understand the Body Tempering Art by analogy.

This is such a good thing, how could it be related to the Cultivation direction again.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Tianyi opened his mouth and gave his answer: “Senior, just exchange for this Bone Forging Method.”

“Have you decided? If you forge bones, your Qi Cultivator Realm will basically have no hope of reaching the Eighth-Order.”

“Senior misunderstood, I can’t decide which direction to major in yet. The main reason for wanting the Bone Forging Method is for it.” Lin Tianyi pointed to his head with a wry smile, and honestly said what he was thinking.

After hearing Lin Tianyi’s explanation, the eyes of the three Clan Leaders were a little different.

“Since this is the case, let’s exchange it. But we won’t treat you badly. In addition to the Bone Forging Secret Art, you can also choose two more Secret Art; I will arrange for Quansheng to explain the Secret Art to you, and you can also communicate with him more in other aspects.”

“Thank you, Senior!” Hearing the implication of Xiahou Zhengde’s words, Lin Tianyi couldn’t help but look happy, and quickly got up to thank him.

“This is the catalog, you can choose from it.” As the voice fell, a book was placed in front of Lin Tianyi.

Without immediately flipping through the book, Lin Tianyi asked again: “Senior, I have another question.”

“Speak.”

“Can the exchanged Secret Art be used on other people?”

Seeing the three Clan Leaders looking confused, Lin Tianyi explained: “Junior has established a Force, and I was wondering if I could use it to enhance the Strength of the people below, such as the Bone Forging Method.”

“You also run a Force? How strong is it? Where is it located?” A series of questions popped out of Yuchi Zhan’s mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Tianyi could only answer one by one.

After hearing about the general situation of South Lotus, Xiahou Zhengde said, “I understand. You should first decide on the other two sets of Secret Art, and we will see what happens.”

“Understood.”

Seeing Lin Tianyi looking down and flipping through the manual, Xiahou Zhengde waved an invisible Barrier to wrap him and the images of the two Clan Leaders together.

“What do you two think?” Xiahou Zhengde showed a wry smile.

“Your initial decision was correct.” Qing Ming, who had not spoken, said lightly.

“At that time, we didn’t know that he had established a Force. It’s useless no matter how strong his Body Cultivator talent is. It’s right not to let him borrow the Cultivation Method. Besides, didn’t you arrange for Quansheng to take care of the bottom line.”

“What about now?”

“Follow the highest level of support.”

After speaking, they looked at Yuchi Zhan together with Xiahou Zhengde.

“I agree, this kid is good in all aspects, but after all, he is not one of us, so let’s give him help at this level.”
