Chapter 4

"Alright! Everyone get up and go about your business, don't affect this young master's recovery! You've had enough lessons these past few days, so use your heads more from now on!"

Wu Yuanxin glared at Wenren Zhong and Du Shuo, and with a feigned angry wave of his hand, he ordered them to leave.

Wenren Zhong and Du Heng visibly breathed a sigh of relief, staggering to their feet, clearly unsteady, indicating that they had indeed had a tough time these past few days.

Speaking of this matter, it was Wenren Zhong who instigated it, and Wu Yuanxin did indeed spy. Both deserved their punishment.

Du Heng was the most innocent, having done nothing, just following normally, and hadn't even had the chance to look together, let alone see Wu Shun's figure, yet he was also implicated!

Wenren Zhong and Du Heng didn't dare to act as casually as before, obediently bowing and retreating.

As everyone left, Wu Yuanxin, as if speaking to the air, asked, "Uncle Hong! Is this decision by Xiner good?"

"As long as it's the young master's decision, it's right..." Uncle Hong's voice came from outside the room, as if he was always ready to follow orders.

"..."

Wu Yuanxin was speechless but couldn't blame Uncle Hong, who was the steward and couldn't interfere with the master's decisions.

Such matters naturally couldn't involve Uncle Hong. When he was discovered, he must have been detained, so he arrived half a step late, but Uncle Hong didn't explain.

...

Three days later, Wu Yuanxin had been severely injured for half a month.

With the precious herbs and elixirs provided by Wu Shileng, and the lower-grade Heavenly level "Wushen Stick Sutra," Wu Yuanxin had almost fully recovered, marveling at the robust constitution of the new world. With three broken ribs, a ruptured heart, and displaced organs, he had fully recovered in just half a month.

Of course, the rapid recovery was mainly due to the changes in Wu Yuanxin's body after the fusion. Otherwise, with the recovery ability of his former self, it would have taken at least a month to get out of bed.

After roughly recovering, Wu Yuanxin couldn't wait to start practicing various basic martial arts, preparing to attempt the entry level of the "Wushen Heart Sutra"!

The more transcendent the martial arts technique, the more stringent the cultivation conditions.

As one of the five great books, the "Wushen Heart Sutra" naturally has extremely stringent cultivation conditions. Just to enter, three conditions are required, none of which can be missing:

First, exceptional mental talent and insight. One needs a flexible mind, unconventional thinking, and an outstanding divine soul with exceptional memory to remember the complex internal energy circulation paths, understand the will of Wushen, quickly learn various martial arts, and make them one's own, and even create new martial arts. This is the most basic and primary condition.

Second, proficiency in various basic martial arts, especially their profound meanings, circulation, and force application. For example, basic fist techniques, basic finger techniques, basic palm techniques, basic body techniques, basic sword techniques, basic leg techniques, etc., at least eighteen types, all reaching the "mastery" level. Only then can one be familiar with the various subtleties of one's body and enter the realm, which is the foundation of Wushen.

Third, extremely strong meridians and dantian. The meridians must be as tough as dragons, and the dantian as solid as iron, to withstand the impact, transformation, and agitation of "Wushen power." This is the simplest condition for cultivation!

These three conditions alone are not something ordinary people can achieve.

The Wu family has passed down for thousands of years, with the main line changing several times, and the "Wushen Heart Sutra" has a great reputation. Publicly and privately, countless people know or have practiced it, but those who can truly cultivate it are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Over the past few hundred years, the youngest person to cultivate the "Wushen Heart Sutra" was in their thirties, already considered a once-in-a-century genius!

Of course, one of the main reasons is that practitioners cannot obtain the authentic or complete version.

Over a thousand years, only one person has completed all three parts of the Wushen, one of the three immortals, the Wushen Turtle Immortal.

Such a difficult technique, no matter how powerful, if one cannot cultivate it, they can only stare helplessly. Moreover, the Wu family strictly guards the "Wushen Heart Sutra," only allowing the main line geniuses to inherit it, and only the clan leader who has cultivated to the corresponding level can know the complete version. Others are just scraps and incomplete versions, considered illegal learning.

Those with a bit of reason and self-awareness naturally wouldn't fixate on the "Wushen Heart Sutra." Therefore, the "Wushen Heart Sutra" has evolved into numerous secondary techniques, such as the "Wushen Fist Sutra," "Wushen Sword Sutra," "Wushen Blade Techniques," etc., which are essentially stripped down and weakened versions of the "Wushen Heart Sutra" to make them easier to cultivate.

Even so, many of these derived martial arts are ranked as Heavenly level, showing their power!

...

With the foundation laid by his former self and the transcendent good fortune from the mysterious fusion,

Wu Yuanxin was confident that the first and third conditions were not a problem, only the second condition was lacking, needing to cultivate at least eighteen basic martial arts to the "mastery" level, thereby familiarizing himself with his body and mastering the subtleties and applications of various parts, and proficiently controlling various force application methods!

Before his injuries were fully healed, Wu Yuanxin didn't dare to attempt it, for fear that failing to cultivate would worsen his injuries, or even lead to a mental breakdown, turning him into a cripple, which would be too tragic!

Now, he was almost eager to start!

...

Basic stick techniques: strike, lift, chop, cover, press, cloud, sweep, pierce, support, pick, flick, and deflect.

Basic palm techniques: slap, bounce, flick, grab, pick, strike, pull, chop, scoop, cut, intercept, swing, block, and thrust.

Basic leg techniques: kick, bump, stamp, kick, step, hang, grind, kneel, intercept, and limp.

Basic spear techniques: thrust, stab, strike, criticize, entangle, circle, block, grab, pounce, point, deflect, and dance.

Various techniques are divided into nine realms: initial understanding, entering the hall, minor success, perfection, mastery, peak, simplicity, divine skill, and transcendence. The higher the realm, the greater the power. The first four realms can be achieved through diligent practice and familiarity; the last five realms require insight and cannot be achieved through mere hard work!

It's unclear whether it's due to the strong soul after the fusion, the influence of modern Earth ideas, or the elusive insight.

With the foundation left by his former self, Wu Yuanxin could review, ponder, and practice a few times, and basically reach the "mastery" level!

Of course, the foundation left by his former self is one of the main reasons.

His former self was proficient in eighteen martial arts, which slowed down his martial arts realm. Seven reached the "mastery" level, and eleven reached the "perfection" level. Wu Yuanxin only needed to digest, consolidate, and understand them!

At the beginning, Wu Yuanxin needed half a day to advance a basic martial art from "perfection" to "mastery," a small realm difference, but a significant qualitative change.

Later, it took five hours, four hours, three hours, and finally, just one hour, making it difficult to significantly compress the cultivation and insight time.

During cultivation, Wu Yuanxin gradually understood the profound martial arts principle of "one method mastered, all methods easy," and the practice of various basic martial arts became faster, and he became more familiar with his body and various force application methods.

The cultivation conditions required by the "Wushen Heart Sutra" are not without reason, indeed having deep significance.

Gradually, Wu Yuanxin became engrossed in martial arts practice, even forgetting the eagerly awaited "Wushen Heart Sutra"!

These few days, apart from Wu Yuanxin's attendants, no clan members came to disturb him, allowing him to focus on healing and practicing martial arts, easing the impact of his穿越.

Of course, the main reason was the care and strict orders from the clan leader, Wu Shileng.

Moreover, the Wu clan members believed that Wu Yuanxin was "severely injured and on the verge of death." If they violated the clan leader's orders to "visit," and Wu Yuanxin suddenly died from his injuries, who would be responsible? That would be too unjust! They would inevitably have to visit the ancestral hall and the law hall.

...

At night, Wu Shileng arrived discreetly, dismissing servants and maids, including close confidants like Wenren Zhong and Uncle Hong.

"This is the Wushen statue, the root of our clan's inheritance. Only Wu clan blood can activate it, and what one gains is entirely by chance; these three volumes are the most complete 'Wushen Heart Sutra' compiled over thousands of years based on the information from the Wushen statue."

Only Wu Yuanxin and his father remained, and Wu Shileng solemnly took out a statue and three ancient books, handing them to Wu Yuanxin.

Without waiting for Wu Yuanxin's response, Wu Shileng continued with a serious expression, "However, Wushen is an extremely profound and legendary realm, even your fifth-generation ancestor (Wushen Turtle Immortal) didn't dare to call himself Wushen. The 'Wushen Heart Sutra' focuses on the foundation, a concept and guide, without fixed techniques or cultivation methods. A thousand people practicing it will have a thousand different 'Wushen Heart Sutras.' Remember this."

Pausing, he quickly added, "According to clan rules, the Wushen statue cannot leave the ancestral hall, and the complete 'Wushen Heart Sutra' cannot leave the scripture hall, and cannot be copied in writing. I can only take it out for three hours, otherwise, it will cause major problems! You have only two hours! No copying!"

The message was clear: Wu Yuanxin had at most two hours to read and understand.

How much he could remember and understand was entirely up to his insight and ability. If he couldn't remember everything in two hours, it couldn't be blamed on anyone or any reason!

An outstanding divine soul and photographic memory are basic conditions for cultivating the "Wushen Heart Sutra"!

"Um!"

Wu Yuanxin nodded solemnly, deeply moved.

At least this adoptive father had no complaints about him!

Although Wu Shileng spoke lightly, Wu Yuanxin believed that bringing out the Wushen statue and the complete "Wushen Heart Sutra" must have required a lot of effort and planning!

After speaking, Wu Yuanxin didn't rush to read, but looked at the Wushen statue with a strange expression and complex eyes, asking, "This is the root of our clan's inheritance? The Wushen statue?"

The Wushen statue was neither metal, wood, nor earth, with an unknown material, a sacred aura, and a thousand arms, looking quite fierce.

It might as well be called an evil god statue!

More importantly, Wu Yuanxin clearly remembered that his former self, when visiting a remote and ancient strange tribe, saw a mysterious ancient temple where the statue was almost identical to the "Wushen statue," differing only in size, with the same material, aura, and appearance.

What was going on? Was there any connection? Otherwise, it would be too coincidental!

"Nonsense! Hurry up! This isn't the time for your curiosity!"
