Chapter 1424: T0-Level Body Tempering Art! Star Core Lei Gang Body!

"Since you have entered my sect, you shall receive my true transmission."

The Frost Crown Sovereign's ice-blue eyes regarded Xu Jingming:

"My lineage's core foundation is the Source Core Secret Scripture."

In addition, there is the T0-level Body Tempering Art and Soul Refinement Art you can begin practicing now."

The former forges the body, unlocking the divine treasures within flesh and bone."

Combined with the Source Core Secret Scripture, your physical strength will far surpass peers of the same level."

The latter refines the spirit, condenses the essence of the soul, and enhances mental power and perception."

Both are foundational to cultivating profound laws and secret arts."

Xu Jingming listened, his heart burning with excitement.

T0-level Body Tempering Art and Soul Refinement Art.

Once mastered, they would dramatically boost his strength!

"Master, can I practice both the Body Tempering Art and the Soul Refinement Art simultaneously?"

Xu Jingming could not help but ask.

The system panel still held 110 million Source Points.

For him, juggling both should not be especially difficult.

Yet the Frost Crown Sovereign gently shook her head.

Her silver-blue eyes seemed to perceive every flow of energy within Xu Jingming's body.

"Greed leads to indigestion. Practicing T0-level secret arts will consume vast amounts of your time and resources."

"Your physique, already transformed by your bloodline secret art and the preliminary changes of the Source Core Secret Scripture, far exceeds peers."

"Combined with your Spear Intent, practicing the Body Tempering Art is most suitable for you."

Her voice was cold and calm, like an icy spring flowing.

"Moreover, the T0-level Soul Refinement Art has a cultivation threshold."

"One must possess Cosmic-tier mental strength to practice it—far too early for you."

When the Frost Crown Sovereign finished speaking, Xu Jingming felt a pang of regret.

Too bad—he had not yet reached the threshold for Soul Refinement Art.

But according to his estimates, participating in the Beast Hunting Competition should grant him enough Source Points to break into the Cosmic tier.

It wasn't too late yet.

Besides, upon closer thought,

he had quite a few things requiring system point allocation.

Level, Lightning Law, Destruction Law, Purple Nightmare Demon Body, and various combat techniques.

Slowing down slightly and investing all Source Points into close combat would indeed better enhance his strength.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingming spoke up:

"Disciple understands. Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

"Good that you understand."

The Frost Crown Sovereign nodded slightly, raised her jade hand, and lightly pointed toward Xu Jingming's location.

In an instant, Xu Jingming felt his consciousness plunged into an ocean of information!

Countless arcane, complex runes, energy circulation patterns, cellular reorganization secrets, lightning-tempering methods...

Flooded into his mind like a torrent!

These insights were not mere text or images, but a direct ancestral imprint upon the soul's origin.

Xu Jingming grunted, beads of sweat instantly forming on his forehead.

Even with his now-strengthened soul, abruptly receiving such vast, profound knowledge brought intense swelling pain and dizziness.

He forcibly steadied his mind, struggling to assimilate the knowledge.

After a moment, the transmission stabilized.

Xu Jingming finally learned the name of this T0-level Body Tempering Art—Star Core Lei Gang Body!

The Star Core Lei Gang Body consists of nine stages.

It aims to draw forth the most yang and rigid primal force of thunder from the universe.

To refine every single cell, gradually transforming them into "Star Thunder Cores."

When perfected, the body becomes a humanoid thundering star.

With every gesture, it carries heavenly authority; its physical strength allows combat across one major tier, its power capable of shattering stars!

Yet the foundational practice of its first stage, "Guiding Thunder into the Marrow," left Xu Jingming stunned.

One must find a "Fiery Lei He" environment and draw its core "Primal Lei Gang" into the body.

Complete the initial refinement, establishing the Lei Gang foundation...

According to the Body Tempering Art's description, "Fiery Lei He" is an extremely rare thunder-attribute celestial body.

It is not an ordinary star; its interior does not involve nuclear fusion.

Instead, it is composed of highly condensed, nearly liquid, violent thunder!

Its temperature is extremely high, its energy intensity far exceeding that of ordinary stellar cores.

And it is saturated with destructive Lei Ting laws.

"This... how am I supposed to cultivate this?" Xu Jingming thought in shock.

His physique, though reinforced through multiple means, certainly far surpasses peers.

But to enter the core region of a star—let alone a thunder star?

That's utterly impossible!

Not to mention him—even an ordinary Cosmic-tier powerhouse.

Without special protection or a powerful artifact, approaching such a celestial body would instantly vaporize you in a storm of violent Lei Ting and extreme heat!

Merely this first step is like a heavenly chasm, firmly blocking him at the door.

Are the entry conditions for T0-level secret arts always this nearly impossible?

Xu Jingming couldn't help casting a questioning glance toward Shuang Mian Zhuzai, then at his senior sister Ye Li.

Ye Li sensed his gaze.

A look of understanding appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

Her crimson lips parted, her voice crisp and cool, yet carrying a hint of reassurance.

"Younger brother, don't be startled, and don't worry.

T0-level body tempering arts are typically practiced only by Dominator-tier powerhouses.

Although this secret art lowers its cultivation requirements, the actual practice still far exceeds the limits of what practitioners at its corresponding level can achieve.

The entry conditions are harsh and often require external aid."

Ye Li paused, a flicker of memory passing through her gray-stone eyes.

"When I trained in another T0-level body tempering art taught by my teacher, it was the same.

I could never have accomplished it on my own.

My teacher acted, creating the conditions for my cultivation."

As Ye Li fell silent, Shuang Mian Zhuzai continued:

"You possess extraordinary talent in spear techniques, and your comprehension of their essence far surpasses your current level.

This is both your strength and your path.

The Star Core Lei Gang Body is a T0-level body tempering art; once the first stage is successfully cultivated,

your physique becomes like a stellar Lei He—unbreakable, strength piercing the starry rivers.

It also greatly amplifies the explosive power and capacity to bear Lei Ting.

Merely with your physique, you can withstand direct blows from a Stellar Peak powerhouse whose foundational laws are fully perfected.

At that time, the power of your spear techniques will multiply geometrically.

Focusing on your strengths is far wiser than scattering your energy.

As for entry, Ye Li is correct—I will help you.

This is also the treatment befitting you as my direct disciple."

The moment his words ended, Xu Jingming had no time to react at all.

He suddenly felt the surroundings shift violently!

Not like spatial teleportation, with clear ripples and pulling sensations.

But through a higher, more incomprehensible method.

As if the very concept of the "space" he occupied had been replaced.

One instant, he was within the endless starry inheritance space conjured by Shuang Mian Zhuzai's divine power.

Beneath his feet lay a path of starlight; before him stood an ice-crystal Wang Zuo.

The next instant, all imagery vanished.

The cold, silent, empty reality of the universe enveloped him instantly!

Xu Jingming's heart reeled violently!

He snapped his head around, scanning the surroundings.

Beneath his feet was the void of space; in the distance, a black curtain studded with stars; farther still, nebulae glowed with hazy halos.

He had been transported, without any awareness, directly from Tianfeng Mountain in Xingqiong Academy into the true depths of outer space!

He hadn't felt even the faintest ripple of spatial law!

As if this entire transformation were merely a simple "thought" of Shuang Mian Zhuzai.
