If this is combined with Level 100 Beautiful Fist, Hundred Refinement Body Technique at one hundred layers, and then add the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique... I feel like my physical body would be invincible. With one punch, I wonder if those cultivators with Golden Core Nascent Souls could withstand it?

Wang Mu thought to himself.

Cultivating this skill was simple: first, dive into the sea and seal one's Five Senses Spiritual Power for cultivation; then, hide underground and seal one's Five Senses Spiritual Power for cultivation again.

Combined with some spirit pills meant for body cultivation, the effort could be significantly reduced.

This skill could not be lightly cultivated by those without a strong physical body.

Simply put, without considerable strength, one couldn't cultivate it.

Even with strength, things could easily go wrong, so extreme caution was necessary.

Couldn't I just cultivate under Gu Yun Mountain?

Or beneath the sea, or under Yunlai Creek?

All the locations are ready… hmm, combined with some spirit pills for body cultivation…

A thought struck Wang Mu, recalling the spirit pills crafted by the Southern Sky Great Witch at the Alchemy Dao Assembly.

They should be just right, shouldn't they?

Buying them shouldn't be difficult.

Wang Mu simply asked his many senior brothers and sisters from Dan Sword Peak to help him make the purchases.

They all had the necessary channels, which made it very convenient; he didn't need to appear personally at all.

Having Dao friends is truly beneficial.

A few days later, by the end of May of the second year, Wang Mu had acquired twenty spirit pills.

This elixir was one crafted by the Southern Sky Great Witch, and it was named the Divine Blood Refining Body Pill.

Top-grade Body Refining Spirit Pills crafted by an Elixir Dao Master were naturally extraordinary. This elixir, once consumed, could boost a body cultivator's blood and vital energy with hardly any side effects. Furthermore, if combined with body cultivation practices, one could fully absorb its medicinal effects, aiding in the cultivation of various techniques.

At the end of the month, Wang Mu arrived at the base of Gu Yun Mountain, activated his Protective Gang Qi, and descended a thousand meters beneath Gu Yun Mountain.

By this time, his Protective Gang Qi was nearly at the brink of shattering.

If I didn't have this Protective Gang Qi and started circulating the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, would I still be alive?

Wang Mu thought to himself.

According to the technique's records, when circulating the technique, the immense power of the mountain would slowly press upon the body, tempering it.

Forget it. Since I have action points, let's practice a bit and see…

Wang Mu thought for a moment and popped a Divine Blood Refining Body Pill into his mouth.

[Cultivation: Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique (+)]

The moment his Protective Gang Qi dissipated, Wang Mu, buried in the earth, immediately felt an immense pressure.

Immediately after, he activated an action point.

In an instant, the pill in his mouth dissolved, transforming into a force like surging ocean waves, continuously pouring into his entire body.

The next moment, a terrifying power squeezed in from all directions.

Wang Mu instantly felt as if his entire body was being torn apart, as though a massive mountain was slowly pressing down on him, much like that monkey under the Five Elements Mountain, unable to move even slightly.

Every inch of his body felt as if it were being crushed...

Damn, this technique is so brutal… even a hundred layers of the Hundred Refinement Body Technique can barely withstand it?

Is this thing even meant for humans to cultivate?

The Divine Blood Refining Body Pill transformed into a formidable energy, surging through his limbs and bones at this moment…

As the technique operated, the oppressive force around him kept increasing…

Unaware of how much time had passed…

Wang Mu only felt his body lose all sensation until, at some point, physical sensation gradually returned, and surges of powerful energy began to well up from deep within him…

It seems like it was successful…

As Wang Mu's consciousness blurred, he sensed something. Action points truly do not deceive me…

He checked.

[Cultivation: Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique (0+)]

Huh, why is there no change?

Do I need to cultivate in the sea in the same way?

Wang Mu slowly crawled out from underground. Calculating the time, he realized two days had already passed.

This training session sure took a long time…

The next day, after meditating and regulating his breath overnight, Wang Mu felt his spirit revitalized and his body bursting with strength.

The improvement is very noticeable…

After initiating the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, the body will display Mountain and Sea Spirit Patterns, said to be a manifestation of one's vital energy and strength.

Wang Mu flew to Yunlai Creek. After some thought, he decided to choose the location where Linglong Love Abyss had merged for his cultivation.

Mainly because the place was familiar and sufficiently deep.

Secondly, the sea there was quite dangerous, so familiarity with the area would make escape easier if needed.

According to the technique's description, initial cultivation required one to be at a depth of three thousand zhang beneath the sea, enduring the pressure while sealing one's spiritual power.

Upon reaching Great Success, the ninth layer, cultivation had to be done at a depth of thirty thousand zhang on the seabed.

Apart from some formidable deep-sea creatures with profound cultivation levels, hardly any cultivators ever set foot on the deep seabed, let alone attempted to cultivate there.

The same principle applied to cultivating under a mountain.

Wang Mu wasn't considering Great Success for the time being. He aimed to simply master the initial stages, reaching a few layers of the technique.

This Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique was clearly harder than the Hundred Refinement Body Technique.

To be on the safe side, Wang Mu flew on his sword to Glazed Lake and found Little Jiao Huo by a lakeside, asking her to keep watch for him.

Upon finding her, the little creature seemed to be working, PUFFING AND HUFFING as she dug at some reefs on the shore, probably part of her daily duties to clean the surroundings of Glazed Lake… much like the Sword Sect had its own assignments for disciples.

"HMPH! You usually don't come to play with me. You only remember me when you need to cultivate! Wang Mu, you humans are truly... HMPH!" Little Jiao Huo had initially thought Wang Mu came to play, but realizing he just wanted her to keep watch, she was instantly dissatisfied.

However, she still agreed.

"Once my cultivation progresses, I'll definitely play with you," Wang Mu said.

"You better not go back on your word!" Little Jiao Huo giggled. "It's perfect because we'll have a major event at Glazed Lake soon, and I'll need your help then. You must come!"

"Absolutely, absolutely!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu knew that there might soon be a Travel event at Glazed Lake.

With the little creature keeping watch, even cultivating under the sea now had a certain level of security.

Thus assured, Wang Mu continued to practice the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique.

「Time flew, and three months passed.」

「At the end of August of the second year.」

「Yunlai Creek, Linglong Love Abyss.」

A Little Jiao Huo was blowing bubbles in the sea, utterly bored.

Since the merger of Linglong Love Abyss, the place had become somewhat gloomy, but this posed no discomfort to the Jiao Huo clan.

Little Jiao Huo swished her tail, looking at the bare-chested man in front of her.

Strange patterns flowed across his back, as if a special energy circulated within them. They glowed faintly, forming an image that resembled the vast ocean even in the dim light of the deep sea.

What is this cultivation...

As she watched, Little Jiao Huo felt a bit dizzy, especially when looking at those patterns, from which a powerful force seemed to emanate, striking out continuously.

The vital energy emanating from the man was incredibly potent, causing the surrounding seawater to churn as if boiling...

At this moment, the man opened his eyes.

Little Jiao Huo swished her tail and moved back a little. She HUFFED, her face turning slightly red as she hastily looked away.

Suddenly, the man opened his mouth and shot upwards like a streak of light, breaking through the sea surface.

Little Jiao Huo hurriedly followed.

The man flew above the sea surface and suddenly let out a long howl.

In an instant, the surrounding water surged violently like a tsunami, splashing countless waves dozens of zhang high. The force of the sound seemed to penetrate the very depths of the sea.

Little Jiao Huo, who had just emerged, YELPED as the tumultuous waves sent her flying…

"Wang Mu, what are you doing!" she exclaimed.

Seeing this, Wang Mu came back to his senses. With a sweep of his hand, an invisible force seemed to grasp Little Jiao Huo, suspending her in midair.

"I've just barely achieved initial mastery in my cultivation. Sorry about that!" Wang Mu said as he set her down.

For the past three months, he had dedicated a significant portion of his time to the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique.

By leveraging his powerful action points.

[Cultivation: Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique (2)]

It had to be said, this cultivation technique progressed incredibly slowly. Even after achieving the initial breakthrough, he had barely reached twenty percent completion.

However, Mountain and Sea Spirit Patterns had now formed on his body, indicating he had made some initial progress.

As for the changes, Wang Mu couldn't quite describe them, only that they were substantial...

"Shall we call it a day for cultivation?" Little Jiao Huo popped her head out of the water. "If you need anything, just use a conch to call me at Yunlai Creek! I have other things to do, so I'll be off!"

Wang Mu nodded.

At that moment, he hovered in midair. Although still in the Qi Refining Realm, he could now briefly stand airborne without relying on a flying sword.

Time to head back to the Sword Sect.

Wang Mu dressed and returned to the Sword Sect on his flying sword.
