Zhao Hai was somewhat excited as he sat in his room. He was already prepared to practice the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. This was because this cultivation method was very important to him.
This cultivation method might not be very useful to other cultivators. This was because the process of practicing this cultivation method was too long and painful. Moreover, metals were very hard to find. Therefore, very few people would practice this cultivation method.
However, this wasn't a problem for Zhao Hai. Time wasn't a problem for him. His current body was almost immortal. Naturally, he didn't need to worry about time. Pain wasn't a problem either. This was because Zhao Hai needed this kind of pain to completely fuse the high-grade blood vessels in his body. And high-grade metals weren't a problem either. Zhao Hai had walked through many planes and collected a lot of good things. Because of this, Zhao Hai had a huge advantage compared to others in cultivating the Iron Buddha Lotus Body.
In the past, Zhao Hai's cultivation was mainly based on the Star Art. But now, Zhao Hai discovered that the Star Art had some areas that he couldn't take care of. The Star Art mainly used star power. However, there were some planes that didn't have star power. Because of this, the Star Art's strength would be suppressed in some planes. Additionally, Zhao Hai had practiced a lot of things in the past. However, these things weren't able to fuse together and form a powerful system. In short, Zhao Hai knew a lot of things in the past. And among these things, Zhao Hai didn't have much use for them. Because of this, what Zhao Hai needed to do right now was to integrate these things and then simplify them to create something that was most suitable for him.
The Iron Buddha Lotus Body was such a cultivation method. At first, Zhao Hai thought that it was a body cultivation method. But after Laura and the others analyzed it, Zhao Hai knew that this cultivation method was actually a body cultivation method. It was a powerful method that was most suitable for him. This method could allow Zhao Hai's body to be infinitely strengthened as well as his spells.
Although the Tidal Spiritual Cultivation Method was very useful, it was completely different from the Iron Buddha Lotus Body's Spiritual Cultivation Method. The Tidal Spiritual Cultivation Method allowed one's Spiritual Energy to become like normal energy. It allowed one's Spiritual Energy to undergo a myriad of changes. In short, it was a cultivation method for one's Spiritual Energy. On the other hand, the Iron Buddha Lotus Body was different. The Iron Buddha Lotus Body's main purpose was to purify one's spiritual force. It was like forging one's spiritual force, turning it from a piece of iron into a piece of refined steel. This was a qualitative change. If one's spiritual force underwent this qualitative change, then one's spiritual force would become even more formidable. It was just like hitting someone with a wooden stick. No matter what kind of strength you use, it wouldn't be as fierce as hitting someone with an iron stick. The wooden stick might be able to split open the flesh, but if it didn't hit a vital point, then it would be very difficult to kill someone. However, an iron stick was different. If you use the same strength as a wooden stick, then the destructive power of the iron stick would definitely surpass the wooden stick. The Iron Buddha Lotus Body was the process of transforming one's spiritual force from a wooden stick to an iron stick.
In the process of cultivating the Iron Buddha Lotus Body, there was another use, and that was to temper one's soul. The process of cultivating the Iron Buddha Lotus Body was very painful. Ordinary people would need to divert their attention while chanting scriptures in order to cultivate the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. During this process, one would unconsciously focus their attention on the Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist scriptures would strengthen one's faith, and unconsciously, it would affect one's soul. It would temper one's soul, and in the end, it would become more and more powerful.
Because of these reasons, Zhao Hai wanted to cultivate the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. The requirements for cultivating the Iron Buddha Lotus Body were very high. One couldn't exceed a certain amount of time each day. If one exceeded the time limit, then it would leave behind a permanent injury. Not only would it not benefit one, it might even take one's life.
Moreover, after an ordinary person cultivated the Iron Buddha Lotus Body, they would immediately eat some pills. These pills were developed by the Iron Buddha Temple in the past few years. They were specifically used to heal the body and heal internal injuries. Only in this way would there be no repercussions. But for Zhao Hai, this wasn't a problem at all. He didn't need to eat those pills because the blood in his body needed to be stimulated by this method. Therefore, the Iron Buddha Lotus Body was the most suitable method for Zhao Hai.
Just as Zhao Hai was thinking about this, a bell suddenly rang. Zhao Hai immediately woke up. Then he stood up and walked out of the courtyard. He knew that the bell was reminding the people of the Iron Buddha Temple that it was time for evening classes. Everyone in the Iron Buddha Temple had to go outside for their evening classes.
Zhao Hai arrived at the square closest to his residence. There were already a lot of monks there. This was Zhao Hai's first day here, so he didn't know the rules. He discovered that the monks who came for their evening classes all brought a praying mat, but he didn't. However, Zhao Hai didn't mind and directly found a place to sit down.
After the bell rang three times, it stopped. After these three rings, everyone arrived at the square. Then the evening classes began. All of the monks began to chant. Only the monk at the front had a large wooden fish in front of him. He would knock it from time to time.
After the evening classes were finished, the sky was already dark. Everyone returned to their courtyards. After Zhao Hai entered his courtyard, he didn't immediately practice the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. Instead, he entered the Space and began to use the tidal force to temper his spiritual force.
The next morning, the morning bell rang. Zhao Hai immediately took a praying mat to do his morning class. Then he returned to his courtyard and placed the praying mat down. After that, he went to the dining hall to eat breakfast. Then he returned to his courtyard and took out the jade slip that the Iron Buddha Temple gave him. After carefully reading the jade slip, Zhao Hai began to prepare to practice. Zhao Hai's eyes lit up as he looked at the jade slip that contained the first four layers of the Iron Buddha Lotus.
The first layer of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body was actually very simple. It was nothing more than using metal to temper one's body. Only by absorbing 2000 jin of Iron Essence would one be able to complete the training. Naturally, one could also absorb more Iron Essence since the minimum requirement was 2000 jin.
However, 2000 jin of Iron Essence wasn't something that could be absorbed in a short period of time. This was because one couldn't practice the Iron Buddha Lotus Body for more than two hours a day. Moreover, these two hours were divided into four sessions. Every half an hour, one would need to take a pill, rest for an hour, cultivate for another half an hour, take another pill, and rest for an hour. After doing this four times, one would be able to complete a day's training. But a cultivator could only practice for this long a day. The longer they practice, the more injuries they would have.
The spatial bag that the Iron Buddha Temple gave Zhao Hai contained a lot of Iron Essence. These Iron Essence were all shaped into cylinders. On the side of these cylinders, there was a hole that went through the cylinder. This hole had only one use, and that was to find an iron rod or a wooden rod to pass through. This rod would turn into a hammer-like object. Then one could use this hammer-like object to temper one's body.
Naturally, those who had just entered the Iron Buddha Temple couldn't learn the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. If they did, then they would be hammered to death. Those who had just entered the Iron Buddha Temple must first learn how to cultivate Spiritual Qi. Even if it was the simplest Spiritual Qi cultivation method, one would still need to study it seriously. Only after reaching the fourth level of Refining Energy into Qi would one be able to practice the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. While practicing the Iron Buddha Lotus Body, one would need to circulate one's Spiritual Qi in order to resist the hammering force as well as absorb the Iron Essence.
When hammering oneself with a hammer, one must use all of their strength. Otherwise, they would not be able to achieve the effect of cultivation. Moreover, this was not the first step of hammering one's entire body. Instead, one should start by hammering one's hands or feet. Then, one should slowly expand to the rest of the body. Finally, one should aim for the vital parts. When hammering the vital parts, one should not use all of one's strength at first. Instead, one should slowly increase one's strength before using all of one's strength.
This training process must be done step by step. One couldn't be too hasty. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous. This was especially true when it came to the vital parts of the body.
In addition to hammering the body, each level of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body had a set of martial arts that could be practiced. The first four levels were all martial arts. It was said that only at the fifth level would one learn how to use weapons. Moreover, for each level of martial arts, one couldn't skip levels. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any benefits. For example, if one were to practice the first level of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body, then one could only practice the first level of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. If one were to practice the second level, then it would only be harmful to one's self. In fact, the second level couldn't be called martial arts. It was just some movements. It was more like a stance, not a martial art that could kill the enemy.
However, after Zhao Hai saw those stances, he didn't dare to look down on them. This was because he discovered that those stances had hidden meanings. As long as one practiced those stances well, then one's martial arts wouldn't be bad.
The metal that Zhao Hai used to practice the first level of the Iron Buddha Lotus Body was a special metal from the Space. This metal was very similar to fine iron, it was also black. However, its strength was much stronger than fine iron. Not only was it strong, it was also tough. Most importantly, it was very heavy. A fist-sized piece of this metal was ten times heavier than fine iron. Zhao Hai called this metal Heavy Strike Iron.
Zhao Hai also made this Heavy Strike Iron into the shape of a hammer. He was prepared to use it to practice the Iron Buddha Lotus Body. However, the target weight that he set for himself was 20,000 jin. It was ten times heavier than fine iron. However, the volume of the two was the same.
