In the valley, Li Yun opened his eyes.

He eagerly stood up and immediately assumed the Primordial Chaos Stance in the open space of the valley.

It was a posture that was neither standing nor squatting.

A profound Primordial Chaos True Intent emanated from his body, gradually transforming into a visible, blurry halo that enveloped him.

Immediately, the surrounding air surged.

Streams of Spiritual Qi, green, red, white, blue, and more, surged towards Li Yun, appearing vibrant and colorful, almost dreamlike under the sunlight.

As these multi-colored streams of Spiritual Qi poured into his body, Li Yun clearly felt his entire being, from his skin and flesh to his bones, tendons, and even his internal organs, being permeated and tempered by the Spiritual Qi.

The feeling was incredibly comfortable.

It was as if his entire body was submerged in a Spiritual Pool, undergoing a soaking-like Body Tempering.

His body visibly grew stronger.

It could be said that every minute brought a substantial transformation.

"Good heavens!"

"Hun Yuan Dominates all things; all forms of Spiritual Qi Temper my body!"

"These 1 million cognition points were absolutely worth it..."

In just half an hour.

Li Yun felt a surge of Divine Power emerge from nowhere, and his entire body felt even stronger than before.

Body Tempering Fifth Level!

"Damn... this Body Tempering efficiency... it's practically flying!"

"At this rate, I won't even need the Qi and Blood Pill they gave me."

To be able to Body Temper without a Qi and Blood Pill, and at such an astonishing speed, he was likely the first Outer Sect Disciple in Heavenly Martial Sect to achieve this.

However, it's always better not to use Medicinal Pills if possible.

As the old saying goes, 'every medicine has three parts poison.'

When various medicinal ingredients are combined in a furnace, it's very difficult to completely remove the medicinal toxins, no matter how skilled the refining method.

These substances, if accumulated in the body, may not all be expelled.

Over time, they would inevitably become a hidden danger.

This pure, natural Spiritual Qi was much more nourishing.

Li Yun savored the experience.

His Cultivation did not stop; two hours later, his cultivation advanced again, reaching Body Tempering Sixth Level!

After that, although the rate of improvement slowed down, it was still incredibly fast.

At least, compared to other Outer Sect Disciples who only Cultivated the Basic Stance Training, even if they swallowed ten Qi and Blood Pills, they couldn't match his speed.

Until evening.

Li Yun's cultivation had already reached Body Tempering Ninth Level!

Theoretically, this was the limit that all Body Refining Realm Martial Artists could reach. Further Cultivation would involve circulating the Qi and blood within the body, comprehending internal and external changes, and giving birth to a pure Internal Force.

That would be entering the Strength Refinement Realm.

At that time, with Internal Force and external force combined, the power of various Martial Techniques would surge.

Only then would one be considered a true Martial Artist.

But it was very strange.

After reaching Body Tempering Ninth Level, Li Yun found that his Body Tempering, based on Primordial Chaos True Intent and absorbing all kinds of Spiritual Qi, had not ended.

Instead, it continued to Temper.

He could still clearly feel every cell inside and outside his body continuously strengthening due to the Spiritual Qi's permeation and Tempering.

This puzzled him.

Body Tempering certainly had its limits; if one could Body Temper indefinitely and become infinitely stronger, then why would the Martial Dao be divided into so many later Realms? Simply focusing on Physique Cultivation would be enough.

Body Tempering Ninth Level was also the limit of Body Tempering verified by countless examples from countless previous Martial Artists.

It could be said that at the beginning of a Martial Artist's Cultivation, once they reached this Realm, it was generally very difficult to find any effective means to continue the body's transformation.

Yet, he was still Body Tempering, which clearly went against the general rule.

"Could it be because of Primordial Chaos True Intent?"

Li Yun was somewhat unclear. Although he had comprehended Primordial Chaos True Intent, this tiny bit of Primordial Chaos True Intent was but a drop in the ocean compared to the vast world.

To try and directly fathom the mysteries of the world's Hun Yuan simply by relying on this small amount of Primordial Chaos True Intent would be nothing but a delusion.

Unable to figure it out, Li Yun didn't bother to think too much.

In any case, if he could continue to Body Temper, then he would. If his body could be stronger than others, his Foundation would be more solid than others, which could only be a good thing.

He simply stopped overthinking.

And continued to cultivation.

Time quickly passed another two days.

Li Yun finally felt that the Body Tempering of his body by absorbing all kinds of Spiritual Qi through the Primordial Chaos Stance and Primordial Chaos True Intent was gradually reaching a state of near saturation, with a faint feeling that it could no longer be Tempered.

But at this point—

He had already undergone four more transformations after Body Tempering Ninth Level!

In other words, if categorized by the Body Refining Realm, he was no longer at Body Tempering Ninth Level, but at Body Tempering Thirteenth Level!

This made his body unprecedentedly powerful.

Leaving aside toughness, resistance, and so on, just in terms of strength, he estimated he could reach about 3,000 catties, which is 1.5 tons!

In his previous life, he could practically lift a small car with one hand.

And in this world, it was even more extraordinary.

A normal Martial Artist reaching Body Tempering Ninth Level typically had about 900 catties of strength. Some with special Physiques and innate Divine Power would be stronger, but they wouldn't exceed 1,500 catties at most.

Yet he had reached 3,000 catties!

This was three times the strength of a typical Body Tempering Ninth Level, and twice that of some with innate Divine Power at Body Tempering Ninth Level.

One force can overcome ten skills.

With this kind of strength, if he were placed among ordinary Outer Sect Disciples, even if he didn't master many Martial Techniques, he could still fight haphazardly.

Even the most powerful Body Tempering Ninth Level couldn't withstand the burst of his 3,000 catties of strength; a single punch to the body would either kill them or severely injure them!

If Martial Techniques were also considered.

Five Martial Techniques at Perfection, plus Thunderclap Fist Intent!

Then it's one word: invincible!

He even suspected that facing a true Strength Refinement Realm Martial Artist, he might be able to contend head-on.

Of course, without actual combat, it was hard for him to be certain.

After all, on the Dao of Martial Arts, a major Realm advancement is a qualitative breakthrough. No matter how strong a Body Refining Realm Martial Artist is, they use external force, while a Strength Refinement Realm Martial Artist, no matter how weak, uses Internal Force.

One is overt, the other covert.

Internal Force is hidden within the body, showing no outward signs, but once it lands, it can produce effects similar to 'hitting a bull through a mountain,' directly penetrating the skin and flesh to injure the internal organs.

There are also various transformations.

It's even possible that some cunning individuals cultivation forbidden Martial Techniques, causing their Internal Force to undergo mutation and possess special effects, making them impossible to guard against.

Therefore, after a burst of excitement.

Li Yun immediately calmed down, secretly admonishing himself that the start was good, but he couldn't be reckless; he still needed to practice more.

He simply continued to perform the Primordial Chaos Stance until his Physique could no longer be Tempered, then he stopped!

After eating a little.

He sat down and continued to observe the wind at the valley entrance, continuing to collect cognition points...

A life of toil!

But there was no choice; he had many Martial Techniques, and each one was clamoring to be fed, waiting for large amounts of cognition points to be upgraded.
