Chapter 197: Body Tempering, Thousand Mountain!

The greatest characteristic of the Myriad Spirit Art is entering the state of unity between heaven and man, being in harmony with all things, and being favored by all things.

On this basis, one can further establish a relationship with the object of spirit-touching, gain its vision, entrust one's spirit to it, and even exert a certain degree of control over it.

Therefore, there are also great requirements for the cultivator's divine sense, and Yu Zhangsheng's divine sense far exceeds that of others; it can be said that this art was as if tailor-made for Yu Zhangsheng, which is why Yu Zhangsheng could get started so quickly, and at that time the object of Yu Zhangsheng's spirit-touching was merely a first-rank first-layer seven-colored koi, and being within Wanxiang Sect, naturally there was not much difficulty, even at one point Yu Zhangsheng felt that he truly was that koi.

"Is this the aftereffect of spirit-touching? Spirit-touching... I can feel the emotions of all things more clearly, and will also be deeply immersed in them..."

Yu Zhangsheng was thoughtful, took a deep breath, and patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Still need to spend more time pondering it; after becoming completely familiar, it should get much better, but undoubtedly, with this art, the improvement to my beast taming is enormous."

"In the future, contracting spirit beasts will also go much more smoothly; Myriad Spirit Art, truly interesting."

Yu Zhangsheng smiled slightly, feeling lighthearted, and after sensing the changes in his body once more, he completely entered the Myriad Spirit Art, and while pondering, opened his Hundred Treasures Bag and took out a grayish-black antique stone box.

"Now that I've reached Foundation Establishment, then I can take a look at what the gift inside this stone box actually is?"

Yu Zhangsheng exhaled a breath, patted his hands, and with expectant eyes grabbed the stone box, letting the Foundation Establishment mana trickle in bit by bit, gradually exerting force.

This stone box was precisely the gift Yu Zhangsheng received when he ascended the Eight Thousand Heavenly Ladder before, and only now was it opened by Yu Zhangsheng.

Accompanied by the mobilization of Foundation Establishment cultivation, especially the trembling of the Spirit Platform of Fortune, Yu Zhangsheng just lightly snapped it, and the stone box automatically split open from the middle, with a jade tube lying quietly inside.

"Oh? An art?"

A flash of spirit light appeared in Yu Zhangsheng's eyes, and after his divine sense carefully probed and confirmed there was no danger, he then picked up the jade tube, pressed it close to his brow, and carefully sensed it.

"Thousand Mountain Art..."

"Sensing the power of Thousand Mountain, tempering the body of Ten Thousand Mountain, specializing in the flesh, tempering the body like a mountain; when cultivated to great completion, unmoving like a mountain, moving like a collapsing mountain..."

After the time of an incense stick, the art inside the jade tube was completely sensed, Yu Zhangsheng opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"Thousand Mountain Art, truly a case of drowsiness meeting a pillow; a body-tempering art specializing in the flesh, this is not something simple, more precious and rare than ordinary methods."

"And judging by its level, just getting started requires fifty thousand essence; I've never seen an art so difficult to get started with, one level higher than Lian Shen Gong!"

"My divine sense is temporarily enough, and my cultivation has also risen; now cultivating Thousand Mountain Art can continue to enhance my flesh, and moreover..."

Yu Zhangsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes expectant.

"Moreover, I still have one body-tempering opportunity from the Sword Washing Pool; now that I've reached Foundation Establishment, it's just right to go redeem it, ensuring my flesh always stays one step ahead of my cultivation, becoming one of my trump cards!"

"Whoever thinks Beast Tamers are soft and weak and attacks me in close combat, then hehe, they can just wait to look bad!"

"Then what I need to pay attention to next is to raise the cultivation of my three spirit beasts as soon as possible; as a Beast Tamer, the realm of beast taming is the foundation."

"The Red Tempered Snake needs to find a suitable fusion; its bloodline is still lacking, and breaking through to Foundation Establishment in a short time isn't that easy; the Golden-Winged Great Eagle and Cai Xing Deer will be relatively easier."

Yu Zhangsheng pondered, a thought moved, and his Attribute Panel appeared.

"Myriad Spirit Art indeed suits me; I've just started and already become proficient; Thousand Mountain Art, as my first body-tempering art, is also worth investing in later."

After making up his mind, Yu Zhangsheng thought for a bit, practiced Thousand Mountain Art again for a while, then stood up and headed for the summit of Yujian Peak.

"Since that's the case, I might as well just go use the Sword Washing Pool quota first; only solid, real strength is truly one's own."

After reaching Foundation Establishment, Yu Zhangsheng's flying speed also increased quite a bit; in less than the time of an incense stick, Yujian Peak came into view.

After deciding on a direction, Yu Zhangsheng did not hesitate and walked toward the Peak Master Hall at the mountain summit; along the way, he encountered mountain-guarding disciples questioning him, but after Yu Zhangsheng showed the token given by Wei Lao, they automatically let him pass, and the way was smooth and unobstructed.

The Peak Master Hall of Yujian Peak could be considered quite magnificent within the entire Wanxiang Sect; apart from the Sect Master Hall, this place was especially important.

The entire palace complex occupied a vast area at the mountain summit, continuous and unending, with buildings extremely dense, faintly forming a formation that automatically absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth from all directions; the palace body was like a sword, very characteristic of Yujian Peak, carrying a sharp edge, with a killing aura rushing to the sky.

After the palace-guarding disciples reported, Yu Zhangsheng stood before the main hall of the Yujian Peak Master, quietly observing and waiting.

"Over there is the Disciple Hall; Shen Xingchen usually lives there, right?"

In this kind of place, even divine sense was suppressed. Yu Zhangsheng did not dare to release his divine sense to probe; relying on his naked eyes, he could see on the right edge of this palace complex a slightly luxurious Disciple Hall that was inconspicuous among them.

"To be able to live at the mountain summit like the Peak Master; the value of a Personal Transmitted Disciple is indeed high."

Yu Zhangsheng thought to himself; before long, Lu Ruikai came out, with Shen Xingchen following beside him, which made Yu Zhangsheng slightly surprised.

"You've come; Zhangsheng, are you here to enter the Sword Washing Pool?"

Lu Ruikai smiled slightly, looking at Yu Zhangsheng with slight surprise, and said with a faint smile.

"Yes, Disciple happened to find some free time these past few days; thank you for the trouble, Sect Master."

Yu Zhangsheng nodded and handed the jade tube he had received from Elder Li to Lu Ruikai; inside was contained exactly one quota to open the Sword Washing Pool.

"It's been a few days; your cultivation speed is indeed fast; you've reached Foundation Establishment just like that; not bad, your aura is stable, without the floating feeling of just breaking through; it seems your foundation in the Qi Refining realm is still quite deep."
