Chapter 225 – Three Months Later, Transformed Sinews and Bones (Six)

As the saying goes, when flesh becomes like iron, one naturally gains the ability of an indestructible diamond body.

Little do people know that when sinews and bones become like iron, one naturally possesses courage that can withstand ten thousand foes!

These two seemingly unrelated states are actually interconnected, both belonging to different stages of the Realm.

Just like now, Ye Kuang dared to attempt what ordinary people wouldn’t – forcibly refining himself with the power of heaven and earth to achieve ultimate transformation.

This could only be described as a mad notion, and equally mad action!

Even the Three Venerables standing nearby couldn’t help but stare in astonishment, clearly deeply shocked by his cultivation method.

After all, human strength has its limits. Who but Ye Kuang would dare to transcend mortal form and forcibly absorb and refine the power of heaven and earth?

This was probably the first such occurrence since ancient times, extremely rare in the world.

This scene further solidified the Three Venerables’ belief that this youth must have some inexplicable connection with that particular group of people.

Elsewhere.

When that Martial Uncle learned about Ye Kuang’s recent activities, he couldn’t help but feel astonished.

How could an ordinary young man attract the attention of various major powers? Perhaps even he himself was unaware, but with the slightest misstep, even the secrets of the Kunlun Holy Land might be exposed to all.

Regardless of whether Ye Kuang was truly a Child of Destiny, merely attracting such widespread attention was enough to bring devastating consequences to Kunlun.

At this moment, still unaware of these earth-shattering events, the Three Venerables remained lost in their fantasies, already ninety percent certain of their speculations.

If their assumptions proved correct, the three of them would have that sliver of possibility – they need only prepare to welcome the coming of the great era, thereby transcending and rising above heaven and earth.

Little did they know, Ye Kuang’s transcendence was happening right before their eyes!

Having abandoned subjective thoughts, maintaining only a pure cultivation attitude, he had already entered a state of sudden enlightenment regarding previously unsolvable problems, achieving breakthrough understanding.

As the numerous extraordinary meridians and acupoints, numerous as stars, were gradually illuminated one by one, he gained profound understanding of the mystical connection between Jade Void and Ten Thousand Calamities.

Ye Kuang was like a swimming fish, completely immersed in the wondrous methods of immortal cultivation.

This was precisely the precursor to Innate rebirth and transformation – existing in a subtle state without knowledge, perception, or self, without form or appearance yet remaining as before, having clearly cast aside all superficial problems to reach deep inner enlightenment.

One could say his most significant change lay between his sinews and bones.

If he was previously described as rotten wood difficult to carve, now he had truly become a cultivator with completely transformed foundation bones.

As thread-like rays of energy grew brighter along with the shining stars, his entire body seemed to transform into a hidden treasure of the starry sky.

Simultaneously, the last trace of thunder essence successively merged into Ye Kuang’s Baihui point.

After several cycles of night and day, when clear skies reappeared, it seemed as if something had changed between heaven and earth, yet also as if nothing had changed at all.

Ye Kuang suddenly opened his eyes, and vast starry intent swept forth, causing all cultivated beings present to feel it resonate within themselves.

Under the starry sky, everyone appears as insignificant ants, but once one awakens a fearless, progressive heart, then all seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be naturally overcome and easily broken through.

It was only at this moment that the Three Venerables realized they had seemingly, through a strange twist of fate, created a monster!

As Ye Kuang lightly exhaled turbid air, his bones crackled in response, and changes quietly occurred across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

The originally endless sky suddenly transformed into an inverted galaxy, and in that brief moment, it felt as if several cycles of reincarnation had passed.When the Three Venerables regained their composure, everything returned to normal, yet the previous scene remained vividly clear before their eyes.

“What was that just now?”

“Strange… truly strange… this lad seems to have stirred the profound mysteries of heaven and earth.”

“Let’s observe quietly for now.”

Just as the Three Venerables were murmuring to themselves, a sudden anomaly occurred.

Above the altar, an invisible force seemed to gradually rotate.

Ye Kuang abruptly looked up and, after staring for a moment, actually leaped into the air.

But unexpectedly, he was repelled back by an invisible force.

The sound of his landing indirectly awakened the Three Venerables, who had been stunned. They couldn’t help but exchange glances, as if trying to discern something from each other’s expressions.

Yet, it was evident that they were all startled by the excitement reflected in one another’s eyes.

Meanwhile, Ye Kuang attempted repeatedly to break into the air above but ended in repeated failures.

It wasn’t until he collapsed weakly on the ground that the Three Venerables stepped forward to inspect him.

In response, Ye Kuang instead assumed a bow stance and threw a punch toward the Three Venerables.

The outcome was predictable—he couldn’t withstand a single move under their hands and was pressed firmly against the ground.

It was this display of brute strength that gave the Three Venerables a clear realization.

“What is wrong with this boy? Why has his strange strength become so exaggerated?”

“It must be related to his bones and tendons. Hold him down! Let this Venerable take a look…”

“This Venerable will also take a look.”

But then, three successive gasps of astonishment arose as they were all shocked by Ye Kuang’s skin, flesh, bones, and tendons!

“How is this boy’s body like bronze and iron? Is he even human?”

“Look quickly! His Eight Extraordinary Meridians are also abnormal, as if he lacks a main meridian!”

“How is this possible?”

At this moment, regardless of the Three Venerables’ astonishment, that Martial Uncle returned quietly, appearing unnoticed on the platform.

“Three Venerables, I’ve found out…”

“Speak!”

“This boy is a rootless wanderer…” The Middle-Aged Strongman paused before continuing, “But his life story is quite mysterious. From the moment he entered the world, he mastered the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms and showcased his skills in a national youth martial arts competition… Recently, he even caused an uproar overseas…”

After hearing this, the Three Venerables couldn’t help but exchange glances again, clearly still somewhat surprised.

Regarding that twelve-year pact, Ye Kuang turned out to be the cause of it all.

Thinking of this, the Three Venerables couldn’t help but fall into silence.

Seeing this, the Middle-Aged Strongman couldn’t help but share the same sentiment.

In an instant, they all looked down at the struggling fool on the ground. To be honest, they already regretted bringing him to the altar.

Once he regained consciousness, the Kunlun Secret Realm would also emerge into the world.

But since things had come to this, they had no choice but to accept reality.

“Since this boy is born of great destiny, let him stay for a while longer. We might as well reshape him—if he can be of use to us, that would be best.”

“But if he cannot be of use to us, why not…”

“No, since this boy is a Dragon Child, suppressing him is impossible. The path we seek may rely on this very boy to achieve. Why not form a favorable connection, do him a favor, and allow him to grow quickly? In the future, he may still have a role to play.”

“By Your Venerable’s decree!”
