Chapter 9: Tai Chu

Like the strength of a lion or elephant wandering in his body, Li Hao clenched his fist slightly, feeling his little hand could easily crush a big stone!

A moment ago he was still a mortal body, and now, in a short time, he had become a cultivator!

Tongli Realm is the first realm of martial arts, focusing on strength!

Strength penetrating the whole body is Tongli.

After long years, the standard of each level of Tongli Realm has been clearly divided. One level is lifting one tripod, which is 200 jin of arm strength.

Ordinary families can barely achieve Tongli Realm Level One through ordinary food and exercise.

But if you want higher, you have to practice to achieve it.

Each level increases by one tripod. Seven levels mean seven tripods, which means Li Hao can lift 1400 jin of things with his five-year-old body at this moment.

And this is just arm strength, the explosive power of the whole body can let him easily leap a hundred meters, move like lightning, and easily fight hundreds of ordinary strong men.

"Finally able to cultivate, at least I have the power to protect myself in the future."

Li Hao was excited, feeling that he could easily crush a big stone just by exerting a little force!

"However, this should only be the limit of Stone Skin Hundred Refinements. If I practice those two secret manuals, my cultivation should improve again!"

Li Hao thought in his heart.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his body state, and after the crimson skin color on his body gradually disappeared and returned to normal, he left the room.

Soon, Li Hao called Steward Zhao and asked him to send someone to report to First Lady.

Soon, there was a response from First Lady's side, still the maid named Biya Xuejian accompanying him.

This time, he went straight to the sixth floor, Li Hao picked up the two secret manuals and flipped through them one by one.

With the understanding and insight of the first stage of Body Dao, looking at the things on it again, Li Hao found that many words he couldn't understand earlier were suddenly understandable.

"Learned the basics, whether to collect?"

Yes! Li Hao collected the two secret manuals into the panel one after another. In less than half a quarter of an hour, Li Hao asked Biya Xuejian to take him downstairs.

Biya Xuejian was slightly surprised, but didn't show it on her face. It's a child, so just treat it as accompanying him to play. As for flipping through secret manuals or something, heh, let alone such a short time, even if he read for a few more days, it would be a ghost if he could understand.

Even the secret manuals on the first floor are medium-grade when thrown outside, and it's very difficult to learn the basics without three or five days of contemplation.

Not to mention the secret manuals on the sixth floor.

The stronger ones naturally have higher cultivation thresholds.

Li Hao didn't know what the little girl was thinking, but even if he did, he wouldn't care. He was a child, who would care about her? Returning to the Shanhe Courtyard, Li Hao asked the maids to prepare some food and drink before practicing.

He felt a great consumption of his body after practicing Stone Skin Hundred Refinements earlier, and at this moment, after a short while, he felt hungry.

"Is this enough for anyone?"

"Bring another plate, I mean another plate of each, I'm growing, do you think I can't eat it?"

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the maids, Li Hao ate a whole table of meat, wiped his oily little mouth, and felt he was only sixty percent full.

But afraid of scaring these guys, he didn't continue, swaggered back to his room, and started practicing.

The obscure "Thousand Dragon Sacred Body" has four layers. When collected into the panel, only the first two layers were displayed as mastered.

The first layer, Dragon Demon Body, makes the whole body's bones hard and skin like dragon scales, invulnerable to swords and spears.

The second layer, Dragon Body, contains half-dragon power, and the body is further improved in all aspects.

Whoosh! Li Hao stretched out his posture, his body like a fierce tiger crouching, his back arched like a bow, and his bones made light cracking sounds.

Through the understanding of the first stage of Body Dao, he was opening the secret door of his body.

The cells of his whole body seemed to be activated, his blood flow accelerated again. This time, Li Hao also felt a cool power seeping from the outside world, swimming into his body.

This is the Taiyin power in the energy of heaven and earth.

With the Taiyin power entering the body, Li Hao's crimson body gradually returned to its normal color, but the flesh and blood of his whole body were rapidly transforming.

The secret door was opened, tempering himself with heaven and earth.

With more and more Taiyin power surging in, Li Hao's skin color gradually became pale, then had a few more green colors, like a corpse, and even on the skin surface, there were faint protrusions, like dragon scales.

After three incense sticks, the first layer of cultivation ended.

Li Hao looked at his cultivation, and it had actually improved again from Tongli Realm Level Seven, reaching Level Ten, the Perfected Realm! Tongli Realm Level One to Nine, the gap between each level is not big, all are bounded by an increase of 200 jin. But Level Nine to Level Ten is a threshold, and the strength will increase exponentially! Level Ten means completely Tongli, strength reaching the whole body, integrated into one! And the strength of lifting with both hands will reach 3600 jin! Li Hao was surprised and felt his body carefully, but felt a bit regretful that the divine blood had not awakened.

Inheritors of divine blood can awaken when they reach the perfect Tongli Realm, and their strength will increase again, reaching 7200 jin! This gap is enough to make the divine blood Tongli Realm easily sweep the same realm, and even make up for the gap in techniques, purely breaking the law with strength!

It's like the difference between a krypton gold boss and an ordinary player in the game.

It looks extremely unfair, but it's also normal, because divine blood inheritance requires the father's generation to reach the Three Imperishable realm, and looking at the nineteen provinces of the Great Yu Dynasty, those who reach this realm can be counted on one's fingers.

Without the blessing of divine blood, Li Hao was not discouraged, but made slight adjustments and continued to practice the second layer of cultivation method.

Half an hour later, he slowly finished his work, opened his eyes, and divine electricity shot out, his pupils seeming to become deeper and darker.

He felt his body, his strength was obviously much stronger than just now, at least twice as much, or even more. Li Hao felt like finding someone to spar with and test his specific strength.

He called up the panel, Li Hao looked at it in surprise, but found that he hadn't broken through the realm, and his cultivation was still Tongli Realm Level Ten.

His strength had clearly increased, but he hadn't reached the Zhou Tian Realm?

Li Hao was stunned, and suddenly reacted that he still didn't know how to move his energy.

After reaching the perfect Tongli Realm, a thing called "Qi" appeared in his body. Strength, strength, strength is full and Qi is born.

The feeling of this Qi is like the feeling of strength when the biceps bulge.

It's just that Qi wanders throughout the body, but he cannot control it.

Li Hao suddenly remembered that this Thousand Dragon Sacred Body second layer didn't seem to say how to move Qi either.

And the third layer, with his current Body Dao, he couldn't comprehend it yet. "Dragon Body, master half-dragon power, I don't know how much strength I have now?" Li Hao thought secretly. He could feel that he was much stronger than the previous strength, at least twice as much, or even more.

Li Hao didn't rush to test, but turned to another body-refining technique:

"Tai Chu" remnant.

With the help of the understanding of the first stage of Body Dao, Li Hao soon understood a lot, and immediately started practicing.

In the general outline of the Tai Chu remnant, this body-refining method has five realms.

But the remnant in Li Hao's hand only has the first two realms, and the last three are lost.

Just the first chapter, Tai Chu secret method, requires opening the secret door of the body, feeling the solar power and Taiyin power in heaven and earth, and doing both yin and yang power entering the body at the same time to temper the body.

Without the help of Body Dao, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for an ordinary person to complete the first step.

But at this moment, Li Hao is like a familiar road, easily controlling it.

With the gathering of yin and yang power in the body, his body is also constantly transforming.

By the second chapter, it is to use the yin and yang power contained in the body to connect the star power into the body and practice into a Star Battle Body.

This is a physique even more domineering than the Dragon Body, containing yin and yang power in the body, the body like a star core furnace, containing vigorous heat and strength.

When Li Hao opened his eyes again, it was

This is a constitution even more overbearing than the Flood Dragon Body; it contains the power of Taiyin and Taiyang within, with a physical body like a star's core furnace, harboring vigorous heat and strength.

When Li Hao opened his eyes again, it was already the middle of the night.

Unknowingly, he had actually cultivated for seven or eight hours.

His gaze was restrained and calm; he opened his eyes slowly, his breathing as deep and long as a coiled flood dragon.

His hearing and vision had both been greatly enhanced.

Li Hao could even hear a faint whistling wind in the courtyard; it was not the sound of wind, but of a sword.

Someone was practicing swordplay.

With Li Hao's Sword Dao realm, he could even visualize the posture and appearance of the person practicing just from the sound of the sword wind.

It was that little girl.

Is she working this hard too? A smile appeared at the corner of Li Hao's mouth, and he immediately pulled up his panel to look.

"Still in the Tongli Realm?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised. He could feel that his body had changed tremendously, being several times stronger than when he had just reached Level Ten, and he even felt that with his current physique, he could execute the Ultimate level Tide Sword Art without any pressure, yet he still hadn't broken through.

However, up until now, he indeed still did not know how to circulate his Qi through the Zhou Tian.

These first two chapters of the Primordial Body Refining Art seemed to be used only for the Tongli Realm.

But the strength they brought already far exceeded the Tongli Realm.

The only problem was that the cultivation was too difficult!

With his current First Stage comprehension of the Physical Dao, he had barely managed to enter the gate; if an ordinary person were to cultivate it, it would likely take ten or twenty years to reach this level.

And by that time, they would likely have already stepped into the Zhou Tian Realm.

After all, compared to stepping into the Zhou Tian Realm, this seemed even harder.

Li Hao stood up and adapted to his body, then opened the window to look out, seeing that in the courtyard outside, there was indeed a small figure practicing swordplay under the starlight.

However, what surprised Li Hao was that compared to the clumsy and awkward sword-swinging from the morning, she was now executing it quite decently.

This little girl actually has some talent.

Li Hao smiled, then braced his palms and flipped out of the window, landing easily on the ground.

He came to a rockery on the other side of the courtyard; he had heard from Uncle Zhao that this rockery had been carried back by his father with one hand when he was a youth, weighing a hundred tripods!

Li Hao crouched down slightly; the retainers and maids had all gone to rest, and the few on duty were patrolling elsewhere.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he ran to the rockery, took two looks, reached into a recessed stone hole, and tried to push it.

Rumble!

What shocked Li Hao was that when he exerted all his brute strength, this rockery, weighing over ten tons, was actually lifted up by him! As the rockery moved, the water in the pond beside it surged, pouring into the base of the rockery.

Tongli Realm Level Ten, no divine blood, able to lift twenty thousand catties!

Li Hao was so startled that he quickly and gently let go, setting the rockery back down.
