Chapter 199: Chapter 197: Qiankun Dominating Body Technique

Yan Rufeng was adept at reading people’s expressions. Seeing Yi Zhantian deep in thought, Yan Rufeng could more or less guess what he was contemplating.

After a long time, Yi Zhantian finally said, "Mumu, go keep your mother company. I have more to discuss with Young Master Yan."

"Oh..."

After Yi Mu left, Yi Zhantian invited Yan Rufeng to the Yi Family’s guest hall.

As soon as Yan Rufeng sat down, a servant filled his tea. Yi Zhantian then waved the servant away.

Yan Rufeng said, "Uncle Yi, you can speak your mind."

Yi Zhantian finally spoke, "Young Master Yan, I only have one daughter, Mumu. When she goes to the Dragon Abyss Sect, it might be a long time before she can return to the Yi Family. By then, we might have already left her behind. I hope..."

A day in the mountains is like a thousand years in the world. The greatest difference between Cultivators and ordinary people is their lifespan. For a Cultivator, even a brief retreat can last months or decades. Yan Rufeng was well aware of what Yi Zhantian was talking about.

"Uncle Yi."

Yan Rufeng interrupted Yi Zhantian, saying, "Though you and Auntie don’t have Spirit Roots, that doesn’t mean you can’t cultivate."

"What?"

Yi Zhantian exclaimed, "Young Master Yan, did you say that someone without Spirit Roots can still cultivate? Did I hear that correctly?"

"Yes," Yan Rufeng replied.

The Three Thousand Paths may be different, but they lead to the same destination. Everyone knows that those with Spirit Roots absorb Spiritual Energy to transform their physiques and contest their fate. However, few know that under the Heavenly Dao, all beings are equal.

Cultivators with Spirit Roots can practice cultivation, which is the narrow view. Yan Rufeng used to think this way, but his experiences after returning to Earth overturned his previous understanding and gave him a new perspective on cultivation.

On Earth, there are many superpower users. Blood Slaughter, Xue Ying, and Tian Lang, for instance, do not have Spirit Roots, yet they can cultivate.

Besides them, there are many more on Earth who can cultivate without Spirit Roots, such as the Mermaid Clan imprisoned by Yan Rufeng for five hundred years, the Witch Clan of the Amazon, Europe’s Blood Clan, and Holy Knights, among others.

Regarding how to cultivate without Spirit Roots, Yan Rufeng discovered many ancient cultivation texts on Earth. Among them was an extraordinary external cultivation technique called the "Qiankun Dominating Body Technique."

This technique was practically tailor-made for those without Spirit Roots. When Yan Rufeng read the introduction claiming that the God Pangu had once practiced this technique, he immediately stored it in his Storage Ring without any hesitation.

Although Yan Rufeng knew the claim about the God Pangu practicing the "Qiankun Dominating Body Technique" was likely exaggerated, it was clear that Pangu achieved divine creation through martial arts, allowing even those without Spirit Roots to cultivate...

...

Yi Zhantian’s eyes shone with hope upon hearing that cultivation without Spirit Roots was possible.

Yi Zhantian, eyes gleaming, eagerly asked, "Young Master Yan, if what you say is true, what method can those without Spirit Roots use to cultivate?"

"Martial Arts," Yan Rufeng said firmly.

Yi Zhantian looked confused, asking, "But how exactly does one cultivate using martial arts?"

Yan Rufeng, never having seen a God using martial arts, was unsure how to answer and reluctantly said, "Uncle Yi, I can’t give you a definitive answer. I can only provide you with a martial arts cultivation technique. The rest is up to you to figure out."

Yi Zhantian pondered, thinking to himself, "We have many martial cultivation techniques in the Yi Family. I’ve never heard of a technique that allows martial arts to become a path to cultivation. What kind of technique is Yan Rufeng talking about...?"

Without thinking much further, Yan Rufeng scanned his Storage Ring with his Divine Sense and took out a yellowed booklet, handing it to Yi Zhantian.

Yi Zhantian carefully accepted it and asked, "Young Master Yan, is this booklet the martial arts cultivation technique?"

"Yes," Yan Rufeng replied.

Yi Zhantian looked at the text on the front and said helplessly, "But I can’t read these words."

Yan Rufeng remembered that the booklet was written in ancient Huaxia pictographs.

"Uncle Yi, let me translate it for you," Yan Rufeng said.

Yan Rufeng used his Divine Sense and quickly went through the booklet. A quarter-hour later, he placed a handwritten copy of the "Qiankun Dominating Body Technique" in front of Yi Zhantian. Yi Zhantian exclaimed loudly, "Qiankun Dominating Body Technique!"

Yan Rufeng smiled as he saw this, saying, "Uncle Yi, the ’Qiankun Dominating Body Technique’ is an external cultivation method that focuses on strength. If you reach the Mahayana stage, you could pluck stars with your bare hands and shatter the void with a punch."

Yi Zhantian was skeptical, asking, "Young Master Yan, is the ’Qiankun Dominating Body Technique’ really that powerful?"

Yan Rufeng replied, "Uncle Yi, you can start cultivating it as described in the text and see if it helps you break through your limitations."

Yi Zhantian, half-believing, said, "I’ll take a closer look and try it tonight."

Yan Rufeng rose and cupped his hands, saying, "Uncle Yi, I won’t disturb your study any longer. Farewell."

Yi Zhantian put down the booklet and said, "Alright, I’ll have a servant prepare a room for you..."

After Yan Rufeng left, the eager Yi Zhantian went to his secret room, took out the "Qiankun Dominating Body Technique," and studied it carefully. Before long, he sat cross-legged on the floor and began cultivating as described in the technique...

Unexpectedly, a quarter-hour later, Yi Zhantian entered a state of enlightenment. His eyes were tightly shut, and he muttered under his breath...

Another quarter-hour passed, and white smoke began to rise from the top of Yi Zhantian’s head.

Meanwhile, the bored Yan Rufeng was about to release his Divine Sense to check Yi Zhantian’s progress with the "Qiankun Dominating Body Technique" when he suddenly heard uproarious laughter coming from the Yi Family Mansion.

"Haha... haha..."

"I did it!"

"I did it..."

Recognizing Yi Zhantian’s voice, Yan Rufeng hurriedly walked towards him.

Members of the Yi Family also gathered around Yi Zhantian.

Seeing his father laughing foolishly, Yi Mu approached and asked, "Father, what’s going on with you?"

Yi Zhantian suddenly rushed to Yi Mu, grabbed his arms excitedly, and said, "Mumu, your father has successfully reached the first level of the Dominating Body!"

"What is the first level of the Dominating Body?"

Yi Mu, scratching his head in confusion, asked, "Father, weren’t you already at the Martial Artist Peak? How are you now at the first level?"

"Haha..."

Yi Zhantian laughed heartily, "Daughter, you don’t understand. Now, your father can also cultivate..."

Unable to contain his joy, Yi Zhantian ran towards the backyard while shouting, "I, Yi Zhantian, have succeeded..."

"I, Yi Zhantian, have succeeded. From now on, the Yi Family can all find another path, taking the martial arts route to cultivation..."

"Mad..."

"Mad, has my father truly gone mad..."

Yi Mu was utterly bewildered.
