Chapter 8

"Wu Yu!"

In the early morning, Sun Wudao hurried over.

"What's wrong?" Wu Yu was about to leave; today he planned to fully cultivate the 'Golden Flame Bone.'

"I heard that Zhao Chuan and a few others were actually killed on Yanli Peak last night! It's causing quite a stir, and all the servants are terrified. It's said that some demons from outside have infiltrated the Bibo Mountains to take revenge on these righteous people!"

"Oh, I see."

"The world is in chaos." Sun Wudao looked at Wu Yu seriously and said, "With all this turmoil, you shouldn't go out to relax. There's not much time left for you to rest. Stay in your room and recuperate properly."

He truly treated Wu Yu well. If not for the opportunities he provided, Wu Yu wouldn't have this chance to be reborn.

"I still want to go out for a walk. Don't worry. I'll just stay nearby, at the back of the mountain." Wu Yu insisted. In fact, he had thought several times about explaining the current situation to Sun Wudao, but after some consideration, he decided it would be better for Sun Wudao to see his grand performance during the assessment, making him proud in front of everyone.

He arrived at the back of the mountain.

The sun rose between the mountains.

The Bibo Mountains, with their layers of peaks and ridges, seemed to stretch endlessly even from a high vantage point.

Countless immortal mists swirled, and under the sunlight, they displayed the colors of a rainbow.

Countless immortal cranes flew, and rare and exotic beasts roamed the forests.

Streams of immortal sword lights danced in the air, transforming into flowers or myriad beasts.

In the scorching sun, Wu Yu, wearing only a pair of long pants, forged his golden bones at the highest point. Under the blazing sun, his long hair was tied up, and his delicate features occasionally glowed with a golden light.

After the first stage of flesh forging, his flesh and blood were reborn, and his new skin was very fair, with a golden glow. After re-cultivating, his aura changed, and he became a handsome young man with a golden glow.

The natural arrogance in his eyes was particularly striking.

Especially the golden '卍' symbol on his back was even more radiant, with all the sunlight converging into a beam and pouring into his body through this golden '卍' symbol.

The Vajra flesh forging created a network of golden tendons and veins throughout his body, and the golden bones that produced the golden flame.

Now, Wu Yu could be considered to have initially entered the realm of the Vajra Indestructible Body.

After succeeding, his combat power greatly increased.

"Just reaching the third stage, I have the strength of nearly fifty horses, equivalent to the fifth stage of the Body Forging Realm. Now, I am on par with my time in Wu Du, no, I should say I am even stronger than when I was in Wu Du."

Standing under the scorching sun, Wu Yu couldn't help but smile.

In just over ten days, he had reached such a level!

Although it was related to his past experience, there was no denying that the 'Vajra Indestructible Body' was truly extraordinary. Wu Yu deeply understood that he had obtained an incredible legacy.

"The legacy and opportunities in this immortal sect will surely be coveted by others. It seems that besides the entrance assessment, I need to remain low-key at other times."

"I wonder if reaching a deeper stage of cultivation can match the power of a Golden Core Immortal."

Wu Yu's current dream gradually shifted from governing the country and leading a life of military service to wielding a sword and living a carefree life.

With just over ten days left, Wu Yu planned to advance to the next level. With his current strength, he still wasn't ready for the entrance assessment, and time was still tight.

"Although I have obtained the legacy, entering the immortal sect is still crucial for me. Resources, connections, and more are all desperately needed." Wu Yu, as a prince, understood these principles.

The fourth major technique of the 'Vajra Indestructible Body' is used for the fourth stage of the Mortal Body Forging Realm, known as 'Internal Strengthening.'

Internal strengthening involves enhancing the five organs and six viscera, which are the foundation of qi and blood and the central hub of the body. The difference in qi and blood before and after internal strengthening is significant.

In the mortal world, one can become a martial arts expert after internal strengthening.

This fourth major technique is called 'Five Organs and Five Spirits.'

"Plant the five metal spirits in the five organs."

"Specifically, the Red Metal Spirit, Purple Metal Spirit, Gold Metal Spirit, White Metal Spirit, and Black Metal Spirit!"

"There are five steps in total!"

The 'Five Organs and Five Spirits' technique is extraordinary. After success, the five organs and six viscera are like five deities residing within, with an endless supply of qi and blood. The body becomes a world, and the five organs and six viscera grow as strong as beasts, even surpassing the bones in toughness.

The 'Five Organs and Five Spirits' technique starts with a breathing method. The recorded breathing and exhalation techniques involve inhaling a gas as sharp and hot as a blade, which tears through Wu Yu's five organs and six viscera, causing unbearable pain.

"The immortal sect only gives one chance."

This technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Wu Yu had thoughts of giving up during the process, but the reality of his situation gave him the determination to push through, even when it felt like his heart was being cut, and he was constantly breaking down, he persisted.

In terms of resilience, Wu Yu had reached a terrifying level.

The 'Vajra Indestructible Body' requires countless trials and immense pain to succeed.

The golden blades, though only for a short period of ten days, tore through the five organs and six viscera billions of times. Each tear was followed by rebirth and strengthening.

In the end, Wu Yu's five organs and six viscera were polished to a golden brilliance, their toughness and size comparable to those of a deep-sea whale, and even a single breath could snap a tree with its violent force!

The power of internal strengthening is truly formidable.

With each breath, it felt like tigers and leopards were roaring and thunder was exploding within. A mere human form was like an ancient giant beast.

The golden '卍' symbol on his back became even more radiant.

Hum!

Finally, Wu Yu exhaled, and a strong wind swept through the forest, causing the trees to tremble and leaves to dance.

"The fourth stage of the Mortal Body Forging Realm, 'Five Organs and Five Spirits,' is finally complete."

After succeeding, the first feeling was not power, but hunger.

Extreme hunger.

"Eat!"

Rushing through the forest, Wu Yu easily killed a wild boar weighing about two thousand pounds, roasted it, and enjoyed it for half a day, completely finishing the beast. Looking at the remaining skeleton, Wu Yu was surprised by his enormous appetite.

"Cultivators need a lot of nourishment. I currently lack resources and can only rely on ordinary food. It's said that some immortals and even elixirs can sustain a person for ten to fifteen days without eating, and they still have immense strength."

Finally, he succeeded.

Wu Yu's recent gloom lifted, and his smile returned, making him seem more approachable and pleasant.

In terms of aura, no servant disciple could compare to him. If not for his servant's clothing, he might be mistaken for an outer sect disciple.

"Unexpectedly, just reaching the fourth stage, I now have the strength of 130 horses, surpassing the average sixth stage of the Body Forging Realm. My strength is formidable, and my body is even more resilient, likely impervious to ordinary blades and swords."

It was impossible not to be happy.

Now, Wu Yu had complete confidence in the entrance assessment, which was still three days away.

For the next three days, Wu Yu did not plan to cultivate. Sun Wudao had been worried every day he saw Wu Yu leave, but now that he had succeeded, he no longer needed to worry.

He dug out the fine steel sword and placed it in his residence, preparing to participate in the assessment in three days.

Everything was ready.

"You've finally come to your senses. Tomorrow, follow me to the Immortal Beast Garden and work diligently!"

Sun Wudao was old and his eyesight was failing. Despite Wu Yu's significant changes, walking like a fierce tiger or a giant beast, he hadn't noticed.

"Being a servant is best done with humility. Zhao Chuan was too reckless, and that's why he lost his life." After that incident, Sun Wudao often used it as a cautionary tale to teach Wu Yu.

"Three days from now is the entrance assessment. Do you want to watch?" Wu Yu asked during a meal.

"Of course, I'll watch. This is the most important day for me. I always go, as it was once my dream. Even if I see others enter the immortal sect, I'm happy for them."

"Oh." Wu Yu was relieved.

Wu Yu didn't know that at this moment, Su Yanli had already arrived at the core of the Bibo Mountains.

The main peak of the Bibo Mountains is called 'Tongtian Peak'!

It's said that it wasn't originally called this. Later, the Tongtian Sword Sect discovered it and established their sect here, naming the towering peak that reaches the clouds 'Tongtian Peak.'

On Tongtian Peak, amidst countless nine-colored immortal mists, the outline of a massive immortal palace can be faintly seen. This is the 'Tongtian Immortal Palace,' where the sect leader handles affairs and cultivates.

Around the Tongtian Immortal Palace, numerous dangers are hidden. Giant beasts fly, swords flash, and even lightning and thunder transform into long snakes, dancing. This is one of the forbidden areas of the Tongtian Sword Sect, and even the sect's guardians cannot enter without the sect leader's permission.

Now, the white-robed girl Su Yanli stood before the Tongtian Immortal Palace.

"Master, Yanli requests an audience."

Su Yanli's clear voice echoed inside.

In the immortal mists, her flowing dress made her indistinguishable from the fairies in the hearts of mortals.

As soon as Su Yanli's voice faded, the lightning in the mists calmed, and a path appeared, leading directly to the Tongtian Immortal Palace.

In a moment, she entered the Tongtian Immortal Palace.

In the grand hall.

On the walls, there were eighty-one precious swords, each glowing with runes.

These were the magical weapons of cultivators.

Ding, ding, ding.

The swords, like trapped beasts, struggled within a beam of light but couldn't fly out.

"Since the killing of Zhao Chuan, I have observed him for half a month. This is all I know about Wu Yu."

Su Yanli bowed respectfully.

The sect leader, Feng Xueya, stood on a high platform, overlooking a vast abyss. He was lost in thought, recalling the scene when he first met Wu Yu.

"Master, how should I handle this? Should I take his opportunities? As the saying goes, a commoner is not guilty, but possessing a treasure is a crime. You once taught me that the path of immortality is a path of plunder."

Feng Xueya turned around, his face instantly serious, and his authority grew. Su Yanli was frightened and took three steps back.

"Yanli, my path, the first great path of the Bibo Mountains, is yours to inherit. Why covet the opportunities of a servant disciple? Cultivate my path, and I can guarantee that you will reach the Golden Core stage and achieve my level!"

Su Yanli understood.

She bowed respectfully, her beautiful eyes shining with contemplation. The sect leader's words were like a sudden enlightenment to her.

"In the future, Yanli will focus solely on cultivating the Tongtian Sword Path of Master!"

"Very good. My disciples must have the ambition to look down upon the world! Although the path of immortality is dangerous, we must be true to our hearts. If our hearts are clear, our path will be clear." The sect leader said.

"In our Tongtian Sword Sect, whoever can obtain the legacy of our ancestors, let them have it. If they can protect it and succeed, it is their destiny. If they cannot protect it and lose their lives, they deserve it. As an outstanding disciple, you must have your own judgment. To seize a legacy, seize the legacy of the strong; that is the path of immortality!"

"Disciple understands."

"You may leave."

As he finished speaking, the sect leader waved his hand, and the numerous swords around him trembled, sensing his immortal might.

At this moment, Wu Yu was accompanying Sun Wudao back to the Immortal Beast Garden. The month of recuperation had passed, and according to the rules, he had to work in the Immortal Beast Garden again starting today.

The day passed uneventfully, and Wu Yu chatted with Sun Wudao, passing the time.

Suddenly, an immortal crane called out, indicating the arrival of a guest. The servants hurried to welcome them, and Wu Yu looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting. It was Sima Jin and a few other 'Immortals' who had returned.

"Wu Yu, hide quickly!" Sun Wudao was anxious. After all, in Sima Jin's eyes, Wu Yu should be dead. If he saw him, there would be trouble.

But it was too late. Perhaps because Wu Yu stood out among the servants, Sima Jin spotted him immediately.
