Chapter 653: Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art

"Scoundrel!"

Manyin hammered Ye Lin into the large vat with a single punch.

The old man was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes glared.

A technique that is quick to master but harmful to the body—isn't this just a demonic art?

At such a young age, to be thinking about practicing this kind of technique all day long is simply ruining one's own future!

Ye Lin poked his head out and said with some grievance.

"Old senior, I'm sorry. I didn't know you didn't even have this kind of body-refining technique. I shouldn't have touched a sore spot."

"I don't have it? Who said I don't have it? You scoundrel!"

Ye Lin's goading clearly had an effect; Manyin smashed a jade slip directly onto Ye Lin's face.

"This body-refining technique is called the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art. It is currently the only known technique capable of forging a Forbidden Physique. To practice this art, one must endure life-and-death tribulations: one hundred tribulations for minor success, one thousand for major success, ten thousand for minor perfection, and one hundred thousand tribulations for great perfection. Do you dare to practice it?"

The Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art had been circulating since who knows which era.

Almost every major sect possessed a copy of the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art.

But as for this thing, basically no one would ever practice it.

Because while it is said that the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art can forge a Forbidden Physique, that is only in theory; theory and practice are two completely different things.

It is just like the theory that as long as your physical body reaches the speed of light, you can travel through time and space.

But the problem is, if your physical body reached the speed of light in reality, you would have already been burned to ash by friction.

One hundred thousand life-and-death tribulations are required for great perfection; this is simply an impossible mission to complete.

This life-and-death tribulation does not mean you can just keep seeking death or find people to hunt you down.

It must be a genuine life-and-death tribulation, the kind that has a causal relationship with you.

For example, you snatch a supreme treasure, drawing a crowd of cultivators stronger than you who sincerely want to kill you. You exhaust all your means, fall into a desperate situation, and just as you are about to die, the situation suddenly turns around—oops, you survived again.

Only then does it count as a single life-and-death tribulation.

It is difficult enough to encounter one hundred thousand life-and-death tribulations, let alone encountering them and surviving all one hundred thousand of them safely.

Among those cultivators who attempted to practice the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art, even those who reached minor success with one hundred tribulations were few and far between, and those who reached major success with one thousand were unprecedented and unlikely to be followed.

Even the person who developed this art managed to kill themselves before they could even reach one thousand tribulations.

Manyin crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for Ye Lin to be scared off.

But unexpectedly, Ye Lin, having obtained the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art, acted as if he had found a priceless treasure, his eyes lighting up instantly.

This was the body-refining technique he, Ye Lin, had been looking for!

Ye Lin stood up with a splash, hugged Manyin, and kissed him on the face.

"Love you!"

Having said that, Ye Lin committed the cultivation method of the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art recorded in the jade slip entirely to memory.

"Hey, no—hey, that's not right! Hey, what do you mean by this? Are you really going to practice that Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art?" Manyin was dumbfounded; was this kid an idiot?

"Yeah! Such a good cultivation technique, and it can even forge a Forbidden Physique, why wouldn't I practice it?" Ye Lin asked back, puzzled.

"Are you not afraid of death?" Manyin pressed.

"Not afraid!"

Ye Lin had already memorized the cultivation method of the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art.

This thing actually had no technique to it; it was purely about enduring tribulations. With every tribulation endured, the physical body would grow stronger by a fraction.

From minor success to great perfection, it is divided into the Hundred Tribulation Imperial Body, the Thousand Tribulation Saint Body, the Myriad Tribulation God Body, and the One Hundred Thousand Calamity Forbidden Body!

The One Hundred Thousand Calamity Forbidden Body is also known as the Ancestral Body of Tribulations; it would be no exaggeration to call it the source of all disasters in the world.

"No! You cannot practice this technique. You should practice the Twelve Transformations of the Savage Bone with me properly!"

Manyin's expression changed wildly. He had only taken out the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art to scare Ye Lin off; he never actually wanted Ye Lin to practice it.

As for life-and-death tribulations, if you fail to pass even one, the outcome is death on the spot.

If a seedling with a Forbidden Spirit Root were to die, it would be a miracle if the others in the Immortal Cloud Sect didn't hang him up and skin him alive.

"Too late, old senior, I've already memorized it! Hehehe!"

Ye Lin had already made up his mind to practice the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art; he was determined to have this Forbidden Physique.

"Foolish!"

Manyin shouted sternly.

"Even if you truly aren't afraid of death, where would you find so many life-and-death tribulations to encounter? Practicing the Myriad Tribulation God-Refining Art, even if you practiced for thousands of years, you would struggle to reach minor success!"

"Old senior, objects are dead, but people are alive; one must learn to be flexible in all things."

Ye Lin revealed a smile of someone who had everything under control.

"If I can't encounter life-and-death tribulations, then why not just let the life-and-death tribulations come to find me?"

Manyin's face was full of confusion; he clearly did not understand what Ye Lin meant by this.

But soon, Ye Lin explained it to him through his actions.

Ye Lin made a standard gesture and then spoke in a loud, clear voice.

"I, Ye Lin, hereby swear a Dao Oath: I will never tell a lie in this life. If I utter a single lie, then I ask the Heavens to send down tribulation lightning to strike me dead on the spot."

After making the Dao Oath, before Manyin could react, Ye Lin immediately said in a loud voice.

"I don't have any thoughts about Sister Yu's feet at all!"

Boom!

The previously clear sky suddenly gathered dark clouds, a thunderclap erupted from the flat ground, and a heavy, oppressive tribulation cloud gathered on the spot.

"Are you fucking sick in the head? Are you a moron?"

Manyin, the Peak Master of Strength Peak, was scared out of his wits on the spot; that rugged old face of his turned as pale as if a succubus had drained his yang energy for five days.

Where was this a life-and-death tribulation? This was a certain-death tribulation!

The reason a Dao Oath is called a Dao Oath is that once it is violated, it is almost one hundred percent certain to invite erasure by the Heavenly Dao.

Throughout history, looking at the history of all the myriad races in the heavens, those who could survive after violating a Dao Oath do not exceed the number of fingers on two hands.

These people, without exception, were all top-tier, astonishingly talented super-powerhouses; any one of them, taken alone, could easily suppress an Imperial Immortal Sect.

For a normal cultivator to violate a Dao Oath is simply seeking their own death.

"Quickly come back to the Immortal Cloud Sect with me! The Immortal Cloud Sect's sect-protecting formation can slightly weaken the power of the tribulation lightning! We'll have the Sect Master and the Supreme Elders all come out of seclusion to see if there's any way to save you!"

Manyin grabbed Ye Lin, intending to return to the Immortal Cloud Sect to call for help. At this point, he couldn't care about hiding his identity; he didn't dare to interfere with this Heavenly Tribulation either.

Once he interfered, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would escalate to match his own cultivation realm, and in that situation, Ye Lin would have absolutely no way to survive.

But unexpectedly, Ye Lin shook off Manyin's hand and warned him with a serious face.

"Old senior, men and women should not touch, please do not pull and tug in public. Also, I am about to start practicing, please show some self-respect!"
