I loaded the innate divine power.

late at night.

Moonlight illuminated the mountains, and apart from the occasional chirping of insects, the forest was filled with deathly silence.

Inside the cave, on an open space, a figure moved nimbly.

*Smack!*

A sharp whistling sound, like the tearing of a whip, rang out, the palm wind howled, and the surrounding air was stirred up.

With a single strike, Shen Yi stood still, a sudden realization washing over him, as if he had broken free of some kind of shackles, and the previous slight obstruction was instantly cleared.

Martial arts have entered a completely new realm.

The Great Success of the Monument Breaker: [1/1000]

"It's a great success."

Looking at the progress of his martial arts skills, Shen Yi smiled.

From minor achievements to major achievements.

Although his cultivation level remained unchanged, his strength had improved significantly.

External martial arts skills have a significant impact on changes in strength.

With the leap from minor to major mastery, his strength increased dramatically.

"If this continues, it won't be long before you can perfect your cultivation."

Shen Yi's eyes shone brightly.

Even if the perfected level of the Monument-Splitting Hand is just a basic martial art in the Zoroastrian sect, it can still unleash extremely powerful force.

In the stages of martial arts skills, each level represents a significant leap forward.

After practicing the Stone-Splitting Hand technique once more, the difference between the advanced and minor levels was very obvious.

A minor mastery of the Stone-Splitting Hand technique can increase his strength by 50%, while a major mastery would be enough to double his strength without any problem.

"It's a pity that the original owner only had this one martial art and had never practiced any others. He can only wait until he has established himself in the future and has a suitable opportunity to practice them."

Shen Yi thought to himself.

This is normal, though. For ordinary people, it is already quite good to be proficient in one martial art.

After all, energy is not unlimited.

Mastering a martial art requires an enormous amount of time and resources.

If it weren't for the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, he would still need to cultivate the internal energy method of the Monument-Splitting Hand.

The internal energy cultivated through the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique is not ordinary internal energy; it is a supreme yang energy.

Compared to the internal strength of the Monument-Splitting Hand, it's not even in the same league.

It's more than just one level strong.

The Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, strictly speaking, is also a profound internal cultivation secret technique.

However, not everyone can practice supernatural arts; at best, it can lead to qi deviation, and at worst, it can kill you.

He might not have been able to withstand the killing intent of the Golden Crow back then if he hadn't used his Godhood talent to eliminate it.

"I wonder how much it's charged..."

Shen Yi had an idea and immediately summoned the panel to check.

Name: Shen Yi

Talent: [Ascension to Godhood]

Energy level: 1.5%

"It increased by 0.5..."

Shen Yi's eyes lit up as he watched the charging progress.

Before practicing the Monument-Splitting Hand, the energy charging progress was 1%. As it progressed from minor to major success, it increased by 0.5%.

Although the progress wasn't huge, it was still a decent improvement for Shen Yi.

"Once we've settled down in the Zoroastrian sect, we can practice other martial arts. That way, we can progress even faster."

Shen Yi looked at the night outside the cave, took a deep breath, and then sat down cross-legged to visualize the Great Sun Golden Crow Diagram and absorb the power of the Great Sun.

……

Time flows silently.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed quietly.

Chang County.

Deep in the rolling mountains.

In a courtyard of a mountain stronghold near the summit, a burly man with a thick beard sat in a grand chair, wearing a short shirt and displaying his muscular physique, holding a cup of green tea in his hand.

After taking a sip of green tea, the burly man with a thick beard looked at a thin young man beside him.

"Still no news?"

The burly man with a thick beard glanced at the young man on his back and asked a question.

The young man shook his head: "Boss, we've searched everywhere for a month, but the spies in the city haven't found anything. It's as if Shen Yi has vanished into thin air."

"Sigh...it seems they're most likely not within Chang County." The burly man with the thick beard sighed.

The young man looked at him, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Boss, should we still send people to search?"

"Of course we should look for it," the bearded man nodded.

The young man looked at him in surprise, somewhat puzzled: "Boss, we still haven't found any news about Shen Yi. Isn't it a waste of effort to keep searching?"

The burly man with a thick beard glanced at him, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "What do you know? This is an order from the Holy Envoy. As long as the order is not rescinded, the search must continue. We must find them alive or dead."

"Even if we can't find it, we have to continue. Otherwise, if the Holy Envoy finds out that we are being passive and negligent, you should know what the consequences will be."

Upon hearing these words, the young man fell silent.

Yes!

This is an order issued by His Majesty the Holy Envoy.

If you disobey the Holy Envoy, then I'm afraid no one will be able to afford a meal.

"Damn it, is he dead or not? If he's not dead, he should at least show up, or at least let us know."

The young man couldn't help but mutter complaints to himself.

One sentence from above, and those below are running themselves ragged.

If I ever run into this guy, I'll definitely teach him a lesson.

……

Nestled among the mountains, in a secluded cave halfway up a precipitous peak, a figure sat cross-legged.

A layer of golden light enveloped its entire body.

At the same time, a scorching heat spread.

"Buzz—!"

A deafening roar suddenly rang out, and in the next instant, a powerful force swept through the entire cave.

The surrounding air rippled in layers.

"Click click click!!!"

Inside his body, a series of bone-vibrating sounds rang out, like popping beans, crackling and popping.

A layer of black impurities is forced out of the skin, but it is instantly evaporated by the golden light on the skin.

Sitting cross-legged, Shen Yi remained motionless, like an old monk in deep meditation.

The membrane in the skin has undergone a fundamental transformation.

It was as if an invisible layer of golden silk armor covered his body, enveloping his entire body.

The bones inside the body also underwent significant changes.

With the tempering of Qi and blood, the bones throughout the body seem to have been sublimated, becoming denser and stronger.

In addition to the transformation of the bones, the meridians in the body also changed, widening by a full two times and becoming more resilient.

The fragile fascia covering the body is broken down, forming a completely new layer of fascia that covers all the meridians throughout the body.

The swirling air around him dissipated, and the layer of golden light covering him returned to calm.

"call……"

Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

His aura subsided, and his powerful aura gradually dissipated.

"Yi Jin".

Shen Yi clenched his fists, feeling the powerful internal energy within his body.

The third stage of martial arts!

Even among the former strongholds of the Demonic Cult in Qingshan County, he would be considered one of the best.

For the past month, aside from eating and sleeping, I have spent all my time cultivating.

Thanks to the improvement in his Godhood talent, Shen Yi was quite satisfied with this rate of growth.

After all, this was purely arduous cultivation; if he were to combine it with elixirs, his improvement might be even faster.

Shen Yi sensed the intense Yang energy within his body; it was abundant and circulating throughout his entire body.

The power around him seemed inexhaustible.

Monument-Splitter: (Peak of Mastery - Full)!

Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique (Level 6): [1/4800]

"Sixth floor..."

Looking at the progress of his martial arts skills, Shen Yi was very satisfied.

The Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique has reached the sixth level, which is close to the level of mastery.

Even if some people in the Zoroastrian sect have practiced this extraordinary art, very few can reach this level.

However, the difficulty increases exponentially with each level of breakthrough.

Simply through arduous cultivation, without the aid of external objects or secret medicines, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through a level.

However, the power of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique is beyond doubt.

With each breakthrough, the physical body undergoes a transformation.

In particular, it improves the physical body's qi and blood, reaching the stage of "qi and blood like a raging storm".

Ordinary ghosts and demons will kill you if you get close!

Its powerful qi and blood have a certain degree of mental suppression, even for ordinary martial artists.

He also mastered the basic martial art of the Monument-Splitting Hand to its fullest extent, surpassing perfection. Even the founder of this martial art could not match his skill in this aspect.

With the enhancement brought by the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, coupled with his mastery of the Monument-Splitting Hand, his strength reached a stage even more terrifying than his cultivation level.

Not to mention the Yi Jin Jing (a martial arts technique), at least at the third level of martial arts, he fears nothing.

In just one month, it underwent a phoenix-like transformation!

"However, we'll need more time to take this further; it's time to move on to the next step."

Shen Yi turned his gaze to the setting sun outside the cave.

They climbed the mountain peaks.

Based on Zoroastrianism!
