Chapter 76: Arrogant Golden Body

  Xiao Fan's first attempt at cultivating the "Nine Turns Sword Heart Scripture" unleashed the mighty power of his innate sword body, causing a massive earthquake within the Three Extremes Sect. Fortunately, with the help of his master Lei Yun, he was able to cover it up and avoid countless troubles.

  After the first experience, the next cultivation of Lei Yun was guarded by Xiao Fan's side, using his great divine power to seal off the space where Xiao Fan was located, making Xiao Fan's aura not exposed.

  Xiao Fan devoted himself wholeheartedly to practicing the "Jiuzhuan Jianxin Jing" and surprisingly spent a full three days and three nights before completing his first practice of this technique.

  When Xiao Fan stopped cultivating, the illusory sword energy on his head had fully materialized, emitting a sharp aura.

  "Not bad, this cultivation technique is indeed worthy of being the Xiantian Sword Body's cultivation technique, most suitable for your current state. In just three days' time, you've cultivated out the first sword energy and reached the realm of Detached Mortal First Rank, truly not ordinary." Lei Yun smiled as he looked at Xiao Fan.

  "Also thanks to Master's protection." Xiao Fan's mouth corner had a faint smile.

  "With your current state, it won't take long for you to cultivate three sword auras and reach the realm of transcending the ordinary third grade. Cultivate well, and after you've cultivated the third sword aura, I'll teach you other techniques." said Lei Yun.

  "Hmm." Xiao Fan nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Disciple is preparing to continue cultivating the 'Proud Golden Body Technique' and still needs Master's help."

  "Don't worry, there's a earth fire flame beside this mountain that can help you cultivate the 'Arrogant Golden Body Technique'. You should rest for a day first, and I'll take you to cultivate it tomorrow." said Lei Yun.

  "Yes." Xiao Fan was overjoyed upon hearing this. The "Huang Yi Jin Shen Jue" originated from the Phoenix Nirvana and required the use of foreign fire to smelt his physical body, tempering it to make breakthroughs. Xiao Fan had been worried about not having the conditions to cultivate it.

  Xiao Fang had been given the inheritance of the Three Absolutes, but he hadn't cultivated it yet. The main reason was that he didn't expect his master, Lei Yun, to have even prepared a place for him to cultivate. Indeed, having a master was much more advantageous than being a rogue cultivator.

  Next, Lei Yun took Xiao Fan into the steep cliff with a smooth jade wall, and inside was actually another cave heaven, with an extremely large space, with flowers, grass, trees, small deer, small rabbits, flying eagles and other small animals playing, and there were streams flowing gently, as if it were a miniature world.

  "This is a space opened up by Master for you, it's where you'll be living from now on, and in the future, you can rest here." said Lei Yun.

  "But then, how will you usually come and go?" asked Xiao Fang.

  "Heh heh, you have a hint of Master's aura on you. As long as you're close to the stone wall, you can come in. To get out is also the same method. However, remember this: ordinary people cannot enter unless they receive Master's permission. Otherwise, forcibly entering this place will trigger the array set up by Master here, annihilating everything." said Lei Yun.

  "Yes." Xiao Fan's heart skipped a beat, with Lei Yun's strength, the formation he set up must be extremely formidable. It's likely that even someone of the same level as Lei Yun would find it difficult to enter.

  "This will be your residence from now on." Immediately afterwards, Leiyun waved his hand and a palace appeared out of thin air, making it Xiao Fan's residence.

  "Thank you, Master." Xiao Fan didn't show any joy, for him, more time was needed for cultivation, and the time he truly spent resting here wasn't much.

  The next day, after Xiao Fan rested for a day, he was taken by Lei Yun to a mountain peak beside him, where the top of the mountain peak had a volcanic crater, with flames and magma bubbling out.

  "Go ahead, the magma here is just right for your current cultivation. This place is usually deserted, you can rest assured to cultivate here." Lei Yun said with a smile.

  "Yes." Xiao Fan responded with a single word and stepped into the volcano. As soon as he entered the magma, the earth's fire ignited, catching him off guard and burning away all his clothes, including his hair, leaving him completely bald in an instant.

  "Hurry up and sit down to meditate, otherwise, with your current physical body, you won't be able to withstand the burning of the earth's fire." Lei Yun said in a low voice.

  After being reminded by Lei Yun, Xiao Fan suddenly woke up and didn't care about exposing himself in front of Lei Yun. He hastily sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the "Proud Golden Body Decision".

  The earth's core fire can burn everything, its power is even stronger than ordinary flames, it belongs to a kind of hetero-fire. Fortunately, Xiao Fan's physical body is extremely strong now, otherwise, he would have been burned to death by the earth's core flame.

  "The Golden Body of Pride" is an ancient human strongman who, after watching the Phoenix Nirvana cultivation process, was inspired to create a kung fu that requires the practitioner to temper themselves with flames, causing their physical body to constantly transform until they reach the realm of immortality like the phoenix.

  As the "Jade Body Technique" revolved, countless earth fires were drawn into Xiao Fan's body, operating in a profound and subtle manner, continuously tempering Xiao Fan's physical body.

  While cultivating, the impurities in Xiao Fan's body were constantly being burned and dissipated into the air as black smoke.

  Xiao Fan's entire body was bright red, as if it had been branded with a hot iron. The flames engulfed his body, causing him extreme pain. Moreover, the earth's core flames were constantly being drawn into his body, not only burning Xiao Fan's skin but also simultaneously incinerating his flesh from the inside out. Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and endured the agony, although he had known that cultivating his body would be extremely difficult. However, it wasn't until he actually started training that he realized the true extent of the pain involved in body cultivation. No wonder there were rumors in the cultivation world that those who practiced body cultivation were all madmen. This was because body cultivation required years of enduring increasingly intense pain, which demanded immense willpower and endurance to achieve. Ordinary people could not tolerate such suffering, and even if they entered the realm of body cultivation, they would not be able to make much progress.

  Lei Yun looked at Xiao Fan's ferocious expression, gritting his teeth and persisting bitterly. He smiled slightly and nodded lightly, extremely satisfied with this disciple, not only was his talent extremely high, but his willpower was also strong, perhaps one day he could really become a supreme powerhouse of the generation.

  "Unfortunately, I don't have the Phoenix Essence Blood on hand. If I did, it would definitely allow Little Fan to undergo a tremendous transformation, which would be extremely beneficial for cultivating the 'Arrogant Golden Body Technique'. The phoenix is a divine beast of heaven and earth, rarely seen in ten thousand years. Even if one were to appear, the strength of an adult phoenix would not be something that even the strongest in the mortal realm could match. Therefore, the Phoenix Essence Blood is truly hard to come by."

  Lei Yun waved his hand, and a banner flew out, hovering in the air above Xiao Fan's head. A protective shield of mysterious yellow light formed around the mountain peak where Xiao Fan was standing, and then Lei Yun's figure flashed and disappeared.

  Lei Yun knew that Xiao Fan's cultivation this time was not something that could be completed overnight, so he set up a protective array flag to protect Xiao Fan and left first.

  Xiao Fan bore the pain of the Earth's Core Fire burning his flesh alone, but he was in a state of dual suffering and pleasure. As the Earth's Core Fire burned his flesh, the "Proud Golden Body Decision" drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to repair his flesh. The process of repairing his flesh was extremely enjoyable. Unfortunately, after being repaired, it was burnt again, and he had to endure the pain once more. This was a feeling of suffering and pleasure at the same time.

  If it weren't for Xiao Fan's inheritance of the Chaotic Sacred Body, he would have endured countless agonies of dismemberment in the Blood-colored Space, and at this moment, he probably couldn't bear it.

  After practicing for a day and night, Xiao Fan had already entered the door of Peacock Body Cultivation Technique. He suddenly moved his mind, divided his spiritual power into four parts, and carefully operated the Chaos Sacred Heart Technique, Intention Sword Body, Nine Turns Sword Heart Scripture, and Peacock Body Cultivation Technique to cultivate.

  Xiao Fan had previously been able to achieve a state of one mind and two uses, simultaneously operating two skill methods. Now his spiritual power was even stronger than before, and he operated four kinds of skill methods at the same time. He could control them, but when he first started, it felt a bit awkward, so he had to be extremely careful and not dare to be distracted in the slightest.

  Later on, as the techniques were practiced, Xiao Fan became more and more familiar with them. The four techniques circulated simultaneously, complementing each other, forming a cycle within his body. He discovered that by cultivating all four techniques at the same time, his cultivation speed was actually faster than if he had cultivated any one of them individually, which was a huge gain.

  Especially for the "Golden Body Technique", the refinement of the physical body is much faster, because with the help of the "Chaotic Sacred Heart Technique" and the "Mind Sword Body" that has been plundered by the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, it can provide the spiritual energy needed for the cultivation of two other techniques, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
