Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 555 - 357: Divine Martial Hall

Accompanied by the successful condensation of Five Thunder Gang Qi within the body...

Master Tian Hai suddenly felt a mysterious force field appear around Chen Ku, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, naturally rotating and simultaneously affecting the outside world.

It was as if the thunder force field within Chen Ku’s body was spinning, driving the massive thunder force field between heaven and earth to rotate together, generating a tearing force around him, revolving the yin and yang of the heavens and earth.

"Is this the Seventh Layer of the Huntian Overlord Body of the Crown Awareness Sect’s Five Thunders Decision? Can it really allow a person to rotate the yin and yang of heaven and earth?"

Master Tian Hai’s eyes flashed with incredulity.

Although Putuo Mountain and the Crown Awareness Sect were both sects from two hundred years ago, due to the warring era back then, chaos quickly ensued, and Putuo Mountain perished not long after.

In those days, he was merely a monk in his forties or fifties, spending most of his time on the mountain, and had not encountered anyone from the Crown Awareness Sect who practiced the Huntian Overlord Body.

Not even Shan Lingguan, who came to the Guanyin Monastery to find him decades ago, had yet mastered the Five Thunders Decision back then.

Therefore, he did not know much about the Five Thunders Decision of the Huntian Overlord Body.

But from Chen Ku’s recent cultivation process, he could analyze the cultivation philosophy of the Five Thunders Decision through the perspective and thinking of a Tenth Realm Martial Practitioner.

First, one needs a physique that is in harmony with thunder, namely the Thunder Spirit Body. On this basis, they must seek out Thunder Spiritual Objects to form a special ’True Qi’ within the body, transforming one’s own body into a special ’Cultivation Body.’

Such is the Cultivation Body that Chen Ku now possesses.

To comprehend the larger universe with one’s inner universe, channeling the power of the cosmic universe.

"The Huntian Overlord Body of the Crown Awareness Sect is indeed worthy of being called a Divine Skill pointing directly at the Eleventh Realm of the Martial Path. It’s not just a Divine Skill; it’s about creating a unique ’physique’ postnatally," Master Tian Hai was incredulous.

If Putuo Mountain’s Prajnaparamita Skill is You State’s premier Spiritual Cultivation Technique, directly addressing the essence of the soul, granting supreme wisdom, and enabling the creation of various magic skills to channel different powers...

Then the Huntian Overlord Body of the Crown Awareness Sect is about creating a physique harmonized with the cosmic universe, enabling a person to acquire an unparalleled Tyrant Body created postnatally, to directly channel the powers between heaven and earth.

While Master Tian Hai marveled at the Huntian Overlord Body.

Chen Ku himself had insights into the cultivation of the Huntian Overlord Body that others could not comprehend, especially now, after mastering the ’Five Thunders Decision,’ being able to clearly feel the essence of the Five Thunders Decision:

"I was wrong. My previous understanding of the Five Thunders Decision was all wrong, completely wrong. I actually thought the Five Thunders Decision was just a cultivation technique for summoning lightning by hand, without grasping the ideology of the Sect Founder who created the Huntian Overlord Body."

Chen Ku opened his eyes.

He could clearly feel that within his blood and flesh now contained a powerful divine power of thunder, permeating every cell and resonating with the thunder between heaven and earth.

As of now, Chen Ku looked up and could distinctly feel the presence of thunderbolt qi a few hundred feet above his head.

Even within the air at the Guanyin Monastery ground, there was some thunderbolt qi.

However, it was significantly less than that in the sky.

Thus, is this layer of the Huntian Overlord Body just about drawing out thunderbolt qi from the surroundings?

Chen Ku muttered to himself:

"No, this layer of the Five Thunders Decision may seem to draw the thunderbolt qi of heaven and earth, but in reality, it channels something more fundamental, which is the yin and yang energy behind the thunder. This is the ideology of the Huntian Overlord Body; with the Five Elements as the basis, allowing the cultivator to refine the Five Thunders through the Five Elements, thereby perceiving the essence of thunder... representing the cosmic essence of one yin and one yang."

While Chen Ku was muttering to himself.

Master Tian Hai stood solemnly before him and said:

"Sect Master, come, punch me, let me see how much of the power of heaven and earth your Five Thunders Decision of the Crown Awareness Sect can draw."

Chen Ku heard this.

He knew that this Master Uncle of Putuo Mountain had also glimpsed some essence of the Five Thunders Decision.

He was eager to try and said:

"Disciple actually wants to try as well. Master Uncle, please prepare, disciple will strike now."

Master Tian Hai nodded.

Standing barefoot in place, one hand behind his back, signaling to Chen Ku to attack.

Hoo!

Chen Ku stood up, exhaled a large breath, and reflected the old monk three feet away in his eyes without saying much, as he was well aware of the gap between himself and a Tenth Realm expert, without any worry of harming this Master Uncle, so... he struck with full force!

Crackle!

In an instant, electric sparks flickered over Chen Ku’s body, and invisible within his body, the blood and imperceptible microscopic particles in his flesh vibrated at high speed, drawn by the thunderbolt qi, rubbing against each other.

It was as if countless thunder particles, in an instant, propelled Chen Ku’s body to produce a shadow imperceptible to the naked eye, punching toward Master Tian Hai!

Under this punch.

The sky above the stele forest in the backyard of the Guanyin Monastery was also seemingly moved, with thunder particles barely visible to the naked eye making the air twist, a terrifying gale blowing...

In Master Tian Hai’s eyes was only this extremely domineering fist.

Bam!

Yet in facing Chen Ku’s punch, he simply opened his palm lightly and caught it steadily.

Boom!

The moment the fists and palms made contact, a terrifying wave erupted mid-air, spreading towards the ground, nearly overturning the entire Guanyin Monastery’s back mountain steles courtyard with its immense force.

Wula!

However, as Master Tian Hai’s eyebrows drooped, an invisible will swept over, as if a giant hand smoothing over the earth, directly suppressing the aftershocks caused by Chen Ku’s punch.

Chen Ku’s heart trembled.

Although he didn’t use the Eight Gates or his Incarnation in this punch, he knew well how terrifying the power of his punch was. Though he knew it wouldn’t harm Master Tian Hai, he hadn’t expected...

Not only did it not harm Master Tian Hai, but even the aftershocks were suppressed by him.

"Just now, was that the power of the Prajnaparamita Skill? Without even moving, just a will, it suppressed everything?"

As Chen Ku’s pupils contracted.

Master Tian Hai released Chen Ku’s hand and lightly commented on his punch, saying:

"The Sect Master’s punch just now already has the ’Ten Dragons Power’ of the Tenth Layer of the God Shaking Decision from the Imperial Enlightenment Sect, and this is in a situation where the surrounding Thunderbolt Qi is not abundant. If it were in the clouds where Thunderbolt Qi is plentiful, the power of this punch might double, but... that is also a way to break through limits, placing a great burden on the body."

"Ten dragons, a casual punch... a force of a million pounds?"

Chen Ku did not doubt Master Tian Hai’s evaluation, after all, Senior Brother Qin Yuxian was at this level, and his master, Shan Lingguan, was slightly superior in combat strength to Senior Brother.

Master Tian Hai nodded and said, "Back then, although I hadn’t seen anyone in the Imperial Enlightenment Sect achieve the Seventh Layer of the Huntian Overlord Body, I have seen several who mastered the Tenth Layer of the God Shaking Decision, about the strength you have now."

Hence, it is evident that the Huntian Overlord Body is indeed the most powerful Divine Skill of the Imperial Enlightenment Sect, reaching the Seventh Layer allows a casual punch to have the power of the Tenth Layer of the God Shaking Decision.

"Master Uncle mentioned that if I unleash the Five Thunders Decision in a place dense with Thunderbolt Qi, the power of the punch could double, but that would also increase the burden on my body?" Chen Ku asked, "Is it related to my physical strength?"

Master Tian Hai nodded, "I am somewhat understanding the Huntian Overlord Body of the Imperial Enlightenment Sect, it is a Martial Arts focusing more on invoking the power of the heavens and earth. The more power you draw, the more demand it places on your body. So I guess, this Tyrant Body should actually be cultivated alongside the body-refining God Shaking Decision for mutual benefit."

Chen Ku also acknowledged, "Master Shan Lingguan also mentioned this point, that the martial cultivation of the Imperial Enlightenment Sect needs the body as support."

Now, he sees the cultivation of the Huntian Overlord Body more clearly, and some concepts are vaguely grasped, ultimately cultivating to sense the power of heaven and earth...

One must perceive the power of heaven and earth to maneuver it.

By using the Five Elements to view thunder, one can maneuver Thunderbolt Qi, and next, through thunder, perceive the more essential Origin of Heaven and Earth ’Yin Yang Power’, allowing manipulation of Yin Yang Qi, and turning Yin Yang Power.

In theory, the concept of the Tyrant Body seems to have no upper limit as a martial concept.

Because Yin Yang Power is a fundamental layer of the universe, finally, when the nine-layered body merges into one, forming the ’Huntian Overlord Body’, it maneuvers the power of heaven and earth...

And as vast as the heaven and earth is, one can maneuver that much power by following this concept?

But the prerequisite is, the body’s strength must keep up.

Otherwise, even if one can maneuver the power to move mountains, one might not withstand it, and be crushed instead.

Therefore, the cultivation of the God Shaking Decision must push the Incarnation to focus more.

"Our Putuo Mountain mainly focuses on Spiritual Cultivation, emphasizing Spirit Martial Arts, so on this matter, I can’t help much, but... I’ve heard that in the current nine main sects, Qianyuan Mountain has a Holy Pill called ’Nine Dragon Pill’, which aids greatly in Power Technique cultivation, being the best in Dragon Abyss."

Master Tian Hai offered a suggestion, saying:

"Isn’t the Sect Master going to apply for the Divine Martial Hall? Perhaps you could try visiting the Qianyuan Mountain branch, by the way, today is the recruitment day for the Divine Martial Hall."

"Thank you, Master Uncle, for assisting me in improving by one small realm and mastering the Five Thunders Decision before recruitment," Chen Ku cupped his hands in gratitude, adding:

"Then I will proceed to the exam."

"These past days, I’ve also heard from Guang Yan that an elder of the Jiang Family, at the Ninth Realm peak, has arrived in Yan Capital. Fear not, due to the Holy Heart Bodhi, I remain clear-headed for several days, and upon refining the Kui Beast Thunder Horn, I left a wisp of Innate True Essence on you, if anything happens, I’ll know immediately,"

Master Tian Hai clasped his hands together:

"Sect Master, attend the exam with peace of mind. Should trouble arise, this monk will arrive at once."

Chen Ku was delighted and again bowed to Master Tian Hai.

Feeling more confident than ever.

He thought to himself:

"Eh, if no one bothers me, so be it. But if anyone dares, my Ninth Realm Evil Qi is only two strands short of being enough to cultivate the Green Dragon Transformation·Transformation Level."

.........

On this day, August 15th.

The newsboys on the streets started shouting in the alleys:

"Extra, extra! The application criteria for the Divine Martial Hall are now public, with three priority admission conditions!"

"Firstly, applicants under thirty are given priority."

"Secondly, those with cultivation above the Seventh Realm are prioritized."

"Thirdly, applicants with the Imperial Court title of Grandmaster or above are prioritized."

"All applicants meeting these criteria, please proceed to the ’Divine Martial Mountain’ outside the city to participate in the selection..."
