After experiencing an unimaginable low limit offensive, Wang Lu succeeded in obtaining the Lady Boss's promise. One week later, the three of them would once again ascend the Clear Sky Peak.
The reason why they chose one week later was because after one week, the Clear Sky Peak's Seventh Elder would return to the mountain. At that time, it would not be easy for them to casually plunder the Small Clear Sky Peak.
However, with the Lady Boss's super strong external help, Wang Lu's heart was at ease, and he was full of confidence for the operation one week later. Thinking back, the trivial Fifth Elder could bring him to wreak havoc in the Small Clear Sky Peak, and the Lady Boss could single-handedly blow him up. With this kind of top-level master acting as a substitute, what was the difference between the so-called Small Clear Sky Peak and their own backyard?
This was the logic of a professional adventurer. When they found that the current lineup was not enough to achieve their goal, their first reaction was not to make up for the shortcomings, but to find a way to take drastic measures to solve all problems. Asking the Lady Boss to leave the mountain was a very typical example.
Another reason for choosing one week later was: after experiencing the last experiential learning, Wang Lu felt that he would soon break through the eighth layer of the Sword Bone. This week was just the right time to improve his cultivation and cross the last hurdle of the Body Forging Stage.
This was another typical problem-solving logic of a professional adventurer: if you can solve it yourself, then don't ask for help from others. In the end, if Wang Lu had enough cultivation, he would not need to go through so much trouble. Wouldn't it be more inconvenient to directly go through the Small Clear Sky Peak?
In the path of Immortal Cultivation, the most important thing was the cultivation of the Immortal Cultivation Stage. Therefore, even though Wang Lu had six A's and nearly ten thousand challenge points, he never became complacent. Instead, his sense of crisis continued to strengthen.
Because in the past two years, even someone as stupid as Wen Bao had reached the Eighth Grade Qi Cultivating Stage. The fatty was lucky enough to break through during the experiential learning in the Small Clear Sky Peak. As for Wang Lu himself, he was still lingering at the Body Forging Stage. Although his basic skills were more solid than anyone else in the sect, and if it was a one-on-one duel, the First Grade of Body Forging Stage was enough to beat Wang Bao to the point that he would cry for his parents. However, the fact that his realm was low could not be changed.
Fortunately, his two years of training was not in vain. Now, it was time for Wang Lu's cultivation to explode. After a long preparation, the eighth layer of Non-Phase Sword Bone finally ushered in the last hurdle. Once this hurdle was broken, his Body Forging Stage would come to an end. As for whether the Void Spirit Root could be cultivated after the Age of Chaos, the answer would be revealed at that time. Because of this, Wang Lu set aside a week's time to break through, hoping that nothing would go wrong.
Of course, this alone was not enough. Before his master left, the Fifth Elder had left a note and seriously reminded him that he had to find someone to protect him during the final stage of the eighth layer of the Sword Bone!
Actually, even if he didn't ask, just based on the fact that this Non-Phase Method came from the hands of that unreliable and unscrupulous person, Wang Lu couldn't be at ease and boldly copy it. Especially in the eighth layer of the Sword Bone, he must find someone to protect him. The problem was, who should he look for?
The answer was also very simple. He should look for his Master. Since his Fifth Master had run away to sell the stolen goods, then he should look for the Lady Boss's Master at the foot of the mountain and talk to her about the key technique to break through this hurdle. The Internal Inspection Technique was passed down by the Lady Boss. If he didn't look for her, who else could he look for?
And regarding the work of protecting him, the Lady Boss was also very interested.
"Although that fellow Wang Wu is really asking for a beating, her Non-Phase Method is indeed broad and profound, especially this Non-Phase Sword Bone. Every time there's a revision, there's always a surprise. I haven't seen the latest version that you're currently practicing. Even if you don't say it, I will still watch you until the end!"
Well, do you think I'm a monkey? However, if it's a monkey, then so be it. With the Lady Boss watching from the side, Wang Lu had nothing to worry about.
For the next five days, Wang Lu simply stayed at the Ru Family Inn. He also took a leave of absence from the cultural classes during the day. Everything was for this eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone. Then, every day, he took the medicine on time and strictly followed the instructions in the notebook. Although he didn't do any further practice, his previous accumulation was deep enough. With the assistance of the medicine, an astonishing energy gradually gathered and brewed, preparing for the next eruption.
Of course, the whole process was seen by Wang Lu through the Internal Inspection Technique.
Now, using the Internal Inspection Technique, he saw that in the deep darkness, more than two hundred Jade Pillars were emitting a flickering golden light, illuminating a vast space. In the midst of the light, countless paths were continuously distributed. Some were connected to each other, forming a huge cycle. Some gradually became detailed, going deep into the distance where the light couldn't reach. And at the side of the path, there were surging rivers and continuous mountains …
In the short span of a month, Wang Lu's Internal Inspection Technique had almost reached the Large Success stage. At this moment, his meridians, bones, flesh, and blood were all clearly discernible. Everything was under his control. This kind of frightening progress left even the Lady Boss speechless. However, he was still a step away from the realm where his Master had mentioned in the notebook: When he reached the Large Success stage, the secret of the Void Spirit Root would suddenly be revealed.
Of course, this wasn't strange. The so-called Large Success stage of Wang Lu's Internal Inspection Technique was the Large Success stage of the martial artist realm. According to the standards of the Path of Immortals, this was just the beginning. And the next step … according to the notebook, should be to adjust the body's breathing rhythm, in other words, to circulate the Qi and blood, causing the light of more than two hundred Jade Pillars to flicker in a unified rhythm. Then, the answer to the riddle would naturally appear.
In the past five days, Wang Lu had only done this one thing. Although his Master had only said a few words in the notebook, in reality, the difficulty level was so high that it made people's hair stand on end! With Wang Lu's current ability, it wasn't difficult to adjust the flickering rhythm of a single Jade Pillar. But if he adjusted multiple Jade Pillars, the difficulty level would increase exponentially. Moreover, to take care of more than two hundred Jade Pillars at the same time … was almost enough to cause one to have a mental breakdown.
Fortunately, Wang Lu was Wang Lu. After continuously meditating for four days and four nights, he finally found the trick and gradually integrated the rhythm. At the same time, as the light flickered in a unified manner, the deeper level of the body's details were also exposed. For example, the acupoints that were scattered all over the space, like the stars in the night sky, or the end of the golden Jade Pillars, where there was a layer of "boundary" that seemed to exist and not exist …
However, these details could only be seen when the light of the two hundred Jade Pillars flickered to the extreme. Once the light dimmed, it would immediately be hidden in the darkness. But as the last obstacle of the eighth layer approached, the light of the Jade Pillars also continued to grow stronger, and the frequency of the flickering also increased. Those details became harder and harder to hide, and the breakthrough was already something that could happen at any time.
Late at night on the sixth day, the opportunity to breakthrough finally arrived. When the two hundred and six Jade Pillars flickered in unison, they suddenly lit up and emitted a dazzling brilliance. However, before he could take a closer look, the light suddenly dimmed. At the same time, a new light source slowly lit up in the middle of the space.
There were two hundred and six bones in the human body. Although it varied from person to person, after cultivating for more than two years, Wang Lu was sure that he didn't have any more bones than ordinary people … So, where did this newly born Sword Bone come from?
It wasn't written too clearly in his Master's notes, but after witnessing the birth of a new Sword Bone, Wang Lu suddenly understood the true meaning of the eighth layer of Sword Bone.
The golden light of the Sword Bone flickered like the breath of a new creature. The Non-Phase Sword Bone nurtured each bone as if it was a new life, allowing it to continue to develop and grow. However, this was not enough. The next step was to integrate the power of the Sword Bones, so that they could play a greater role. Wang Lu adjusted his Qi and blood, so that the Sword Bones' radiance was uniform, and this was what he was doing.
However, this step was still not enough, because the uniformity of Wang Lu's radiance was based on Wang Lu's deep meditation. Once he loosened the control of the Sword Bones' breathing, the rhythm would fall into disorder, and all his efforts would be wasted. However, no matter how talented Wang Lu was, it was impossible for him to stay in a state of meditation forever — unless he intentionally became a vegetable.
Then the next goal was very clear, which was to find a way to make these Sword Bones obedient, without the need for their master's command. And now, Wang Wu's idea was to use the energy of the two hundred and six Sword Bones' unified breathing to create a new bone.
Just like in the Western Continent, there was a legend about the Supreme Ring, the Imperial Ring. This Sword Bone was born to be a cut above the others. Once it was born, it would force the other Sword Bones to synchronize with it, so as to achieve a situation of great unity. And this Sword Bone could be said to be the Emperor Bone.
After cultivating to this point, no matter how much criticism Wang Lu had toward his Master, he had to admit that this guy's self-created method was really something. The eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone was only the realm of the Body Refining Stage, but the skill contained within it was brilliant, and the effect of the Sword Bone was powerful, which had completely surpassed the mortal world's martial arts. He stayed in the sect for two years, and he had seen a lot of immortal cultivation methods. Not to mention the Qi Cultivating Stage, which didn't emphasize the Body Refining Stage, even the Foundation Establishment Stage's Body Refining Stage seemed to pale in comparison to this eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone!
However, behind the high profit, there was also a high risk. When Wang Lu calmed his mind and continued to accelerate the Emperor Bone's maturation according to the handwritten method, a sudden change occurred!
An intense pain emerged from the two hundred and six bones in his body. In a flash, it was as if all the bones in his body were broken. The pain was enough to destroy the mind of any normal person.
Wang Lu's breathing was almost disordered. Fortunately, he was a cultivator, and his perseverance was extraordinary. Soon, he was able to suppress this astonishing pain. However, the next moment, the Emperor Bone suddenly jumped, and the pain was several times more intense than before!
The reason was very simple. Since it was born as the Emperor, it should be supreme. Then, why should the supreme Emperor Bone listen to the command of Wang Lu?
The moment the Emperor Bone was born, it subdued the two hundred and six Non-Phase Sword Bones, and then commanded the two hundred soldiers to wave the flag of rebellion against its master, Wang Lu.
But this time, the pain caused by the Emperor Bone completely overrode his reason. The psychological line of defense that Wang Lu had painstakingly forged collapsed in an instant! His body suddenly bounced!
Unsurprisingly, the next moment, the Sword Bone's cultivation would go berserk, and his body would completely collapse. However, at this time, the Lady Boss, who acted as the protector, finally made her move.
Bang!
The Lady Boss's action was simple and crude — she forcefully slapped the center of Wang Lu's forehead.
However, at the same time, the Emperor Bone inside Wang Lu's body suddenly shook, as if it was struck by lightning! A moment later, the brilliance dissipated, and the Emperor Bone became silent.
The Emperor Bone, which was condensed from the essence of Wang Lu's whole body, was unexpectedly defeated by the Lady Boss's slap!
The Emperor Bone stabilized, and the rest of the Sword Bones also calmed down. The pain also receded like the tide.
Wang Lu slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
Just now, that strange change happened in an instant. For a moment, his reason was almost torn apart by the surging pain. Now, although the Sword Bones had stabilized, the residual pain still faintly flared up. Fortunately, it was not difficult to resist. However, in retrospect … it was really dangerous. If the Lady Boss's action was a beat slower, then everything would have been over!
It was no wonder that his master had repeatedly urged him to find someone to protect him. Judging from the situation just now, if there was no one to assist him, anyone would undoubtedly die at the moment of breaking through the eighth level. Fortunately, the Lady Boss was reliable enough to turn the tide …
"How do you feel?"
As the biggest contributor, the young girl asked with a face full of concern.
Wang Lu cleared his throat and said, "Many thanks for helping me to quell the rebellion. I will bestow you with the hereditary title of * * *."
"Get lost."
