Three days later.
Emperor Peak, beside a spiritual lake.
Xiao Yun held a fishing rod and lazily lay on a recliner, gazing at the calm lake surface with a contented expression, waiting for the fish to bite.
"Ah... Senior Brother, help me..." Not far away, Lin Xiaoya's wailing cries filled the air, causing heartache.
Xiao Yun casually glanced over and couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
He saw Lin Xiaoya in the distance, being whipped by Uncle Fu with a whip. Each lash tore through her skin, a horrifying sight that caused excruciating pain and incessant screams.
Of course, Uncle Fu was not punishing Lin Xiaoya but helping her train her physical body.
Uncle Fu's whipping was not arbitrary but done with a special technique.
Moreover, before whipping Lin Xiaoya, he had already administered some precious elixirs to her. Now, he was assisting her in assimilating the medicinal power, stimulating her physical body and enhancing her strength.
After all, if Lin Xiaoya were to refine the medicinal power on her own, it would take too much time, making it impossible for her to rapidly improve.
So, Uncle Fu was doing this for Lin Xiaoya's own good!
"Hiss!"
Xiao Yun couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air and quickly turned around, activating his moment of enlightenment. He didn't want to be whipped by Emperor Tian like that.
Boom...
As Xiao Yun entered the state of enlightenment, he immediately began cultivating the second supreme martial technique, "Taiji Divine Palm."
Within the state of enlightenment, he quickly grasped the essence of this "Taiji Divine Palm" technique.
Afterwards, Xiao Yun began to display the "Taiji Divine Palm" by the lake. With the movement of his arms, two Yin and Yang fish formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth started rotating around his body, forming a huge Taiji diagram.
This extraordinary phenomenon attracted the attention of Uncle Fu and Lin Xiaoya not far away.
Enduring the pain in her body, Lin Xiaoya looked at Xiao Yun by the lake and couldn't help but curiously ask, "Senior Brother, what are you doing?"
Uncle Fu's pupils contracted, his face full of astonishment. "The young master is cultivating the second supreme martial technique, 'Taiji Divine Palm.' Look at the Taiji diagram surrounding him. It means he has already cultivated this supreme martial technique to the pinnacle."
Lin Xiaoya, upon hearing this, felt like slamming her head on the ground. Here she was, being whipped by her master, enduring so much hardship, and yet she hadn't even reached the extreme of body refinement. Meanwhile, her senior brother effortlessly cultivated a supreme martial technique, gaining an additional 100,000 jin of strength.
People really can't be compared. It's truly infuriating!
"Xiao Ya, this is the difference between ordinary people and geniuses. If you want to keep up with the young master's footsteps, you have to continue enduring hardships," Uncle Fu said, then looked at Lin Xiaoya and raised the whip in his hand.
Lin Xiaoya was speechless.
Moments later, Lin Xiaoya's miserable cries resounded once again, causing heartache.
Meanwhile, by the lake, Xiao Yun had already stopped his movements and resumed leisurely fishing.
"The second supreme martial technique is cultivated. I should have 300,000 jin of strength now. I need to find a time to test it at the stone stele to create a sensation, cause a commotion, and obtain three opportunities for enlightenment," Xiao Yun thought to himself as he lay on the recliner.
Ah, having a system makes all the difference. Cultivation is so easy. Life is truly comfortable!
"Help... Senior Brother... I don't want to go to the True Dragon Lair... Master, please stop... Ah..." Not far away, Lin Xiaoya's voice grew increasingly miserable.
Xiao Yun shook his head. This was the outcome of not having a system.
...
A month quickly passed.
On this day, Lin Xiaoya excitedly ran to find Xiao Yun, her face brimming with enthusiasm. "Senior Brother, I have assimilated the power of those elixirs. I should have reached the extreme of body refinement now. Let's go to the Star Pavilion and test it."
Xiao Yun was about to "show off" there, so upon hearing her words, he smiled and nodded.
Soon, under Uncle Fu's guidance, the two of them headed towards the Star Pavilion.
However, when they arrived, they found a crowd gathered around the stone stele, with exclamations of surprise filling the air.
"It seems like another genius is testing here!" Lin Xiaoya was instantly eager to give it a try. Now that she had reached the extreme of body refinement, she wanted to show off.
Young people were like this. Once they made progress, they wanted to show it off.
Furthermore, after enduring so much hardship over the past month, it was only natural for Lin Xiaoya to want to display her prowess.
Uncle Fu also understood Lin Xiaoya's sense of frustration, so he didn't stop her and led her to the testing area.
After the three of them arrived, they saw a familiar figure standing by the stone stele—it was Chu Jingxiao, a disciple of Elder Tianyi.
At this moment, Chu Jingxiao appeared full of confidence, a proud expression on his face.
Because the stone stele displayed the number "100,000," indicating that Chu Jingxiao had already reached the extreme of body refinement.
Beside him, Zhu Ping, the lackey, grinned smugly. "Young Master truly deserves his extraordinary talent. In just a month, he has reached the extreme of body refinement, and becoming a holy son is just a matter of time."
The surrounding people exclaimed and praised Chu Jingxiao, causing him to feel elated and wear a satisfied smile.
However, Chu Jingxiao's smile quickly froze as he saw someone who greatly annoyed him.
That person was Xiao Yun.
In the distance, Xiao Yun, Lin Xiaoya, and Uncle Fu walked over, and when the crowd saw them, they immediately recognized them and made way for them.
Lin Xiaoya looked at the numbers on the stone tablet with a disdainful expression and said, "Just stepping into the Extreme Physique Realm, what's there to be proud of? My senior brother entered the Forbidden Territory a month ago."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jingxiao's face turned pitch black. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth but couldn't retort.
Although he had reached the Extreme Physique Realm in just a month, which was already impressive in the Chaos Holy Land, he was definitely second among his peers.
Unfortunately, there was always a Xiao Yun overshadowing him.
Beside him, Zhu Ping also had an unpleasant expression. He glared at Lin Xiaoya and coldly snorted, "No matter how powerful Xiao Yun is, what does it have to do with you, this little girl? How much strength do you have? Sixty thousand? Or seventy thousand?"
After speaking, Zhu Ping looked at Uncle Fu behind Lin Xiaoya and sneered, "Ah Fu, you better take your disciple back quickly and don't let her embarrass herself here."
Uncle Fu crossed his arms and ignored Zhu Ping, only looking at him with a mocking expression.
Lin Xiaoya walked forward, snorted, and said, "It's just the Extreme Physique Realm, so what's the big deal? I have also reached the Extreme Physique Realm!"
After speaking, Lin Xiaoya approached the stone tablet and fiercely punched it.
Suddenly, a brilliant golden light burst out from the stone tablet, revealing a series of numbers—100,000!
"The Extreme Physique Realm!"
"I didn't expect Lin Xiaoya to reach the Extreme Physique Realm too!"
"When did the Extreme Physique Realm become so easy? It keeps appearing. Could it be that our Chaos Holy Land is going to rise?"
...
The people around immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Xiaoya looked very proud, with a mocking expression as she looked at Chu Jingxiao and Zhu Ping, and said, "How about that?"
Chu Jingxiao and Zhu Ping's faces turned gloomy. They didn't expect Lin Xiaoya to also reach the Extreme Physique Realm. It was really irritating to them.
"Senior brother, it's your turn to show!" Lin Xiaoya ignored them and shouted towards Xiao Yun.
Everyone immediately looked at Xiao Yun, their faces filled with anticipation.
They wondered how much Xiao Yun's strength had increased in a month.
Xiao Yun smiled slightly, walked towards the stone tablet, and struck it with a punch.
"Three hundred thousand!"
As a fierce golden light dissipated, a mind-boggling number appeared on the stone tablet.
Once again, the crowd exclaimed in astonishment.
