Chapter 882: Chapter 881 ["Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill" Great Success]

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

A series of women’s screams gave Ye Tianchen goosebumps, and he could only pretend to be calm while sitting on the sofa, picking up a newspaper to read as if he knew nothing. When his mom Luo Yan, little sister Ye Qianwen, Qi Ruxue, and Xiao Ya hurriedly dressed and rushed out of their rooms, they naturally found Ye Tianchen leisurely sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

"Good morning, beautiful ladies!" Ye Tianchen smiled and said to the four women rushing downstairs.

"Hey, it’s almost ten o’clock, still saying good morning?" Ye Qianwen was the first to run in front of her brother Ye Tianchen, and said quite speechlessly.

"You rascal, why didn’t you wake us up?" Luo Yan glanced at her son, annoyed, and asked.

"Oh no, I still have to go shopping, and now it’s all delayed." Qi Ruxue said, looking anxious.

"Qianwen and I still have to go to school, what’s going on? How did the four of us fall asleep like this?" Xiao Ya asked, even more urgent and puzzled.

Ye Tianchen stood up, adjusted his clothes, and said in a very gentlemanly and innocent manner, "Ladies, I noticed that you rarely get a chance to sleep in. Usually, you get up at dawn. Although early to bed and early to rise is good for your health, sometimes it’s important to get enough sleep. So, I didn’t dare disturb you. Why am I suddenly the bad guy here?"

The four women all gave Ye Tianchen an annoyed look and started tidying up, washing their faces, brushing their teeth. Their lives were always full and satisfying; they all had their own roles and responsibilities. Ye Tianchen wasn’t someone who stayed at home all the time, so they were used to it. They would never know what kind of danger happened last night, how close Ye Tianchen got to losing his life, and how all of them almost died together.

Ye Tianchen watched the four women in the villa bustling about, and couldn’t help but smile in his heart. Rare moments of relaxation and taking it easy like these were actually happiness. In that moment, Ye Tianchen understood that being a martial artist has the excitement of the martial arts world, while being an ordinary person has the happiness of ordinary life. Perhaps given the choice, they would prefer to live such a plain and simple life.

Ye Qianwen and Xiao Ya were both in school. It’s worth mentioning that Ye Qianwen was quite hardworking and got into Longteng University. Xiao Ya was now a sophomore, and Ye Qianwen was a freshman. They took care of each other and often played together, went to school together, and left school together. As for Ye Tianchen’s mom, Luo Yan, she was a housewife, and his father had been very busy lately, so he rarely accompanied her. Fortunately, with Qi Ruxue living there, his mom had company. The two women often went shopping together, bought groceries, and cooked meals together. Thinking about it, his little sister and Xiao Ya were quite lucky in terms of enjoying good food, something that made Ye Tianchen very envious.

Regarding his feelings for Xiao Ya, Qi Ruxue, Liu Rumei, Su Feifei, and the other women, Ye Tianchen classified them as good friends, the kind he would go through fire and water to protect. As for matters between men and women, Ye Tianchen hadn’t thought much about them. As long as they were happy and content, that was enough for him. The more he got involved with the martial arts world, the more he felt that the world was full of dangers. Perhaps letting them live an ordinary life was for the better; silently protecting them behind the scenes was enough.

Xiao Ya and Ye Qianwen rushed off to school. His mom Luo Yan and Qi Ruxue told Ye Tianchen as they left that they were going shopping, so he’d have to take care of lunch himself. This left Ye Tianchen very frustrated. He had finally gotten a day at home and was hoping to enjoy a good meal, only to find out no one was making lunch.

However, this also granted Ye Tianchen some leisure and peace, offering a rare chance to relax his mind. Since becoming a martial artist, his journey had been filled with relentless battles, each time narrowly escaping death. This made Ye Tianchen ponder that it was only here on Earth, which, in the grand Martial Arts Great World, was nothing more than a sealed-up dry well. The martial artists here were like frogs at the bottom of a well. Yet, even in such an environment, it was filled with killing and danger. What would it be like entering the true Martial Arts Great World?

Ye Tianchen wasn’t worried about his safety. A man should stand tall and proud; how could he possibly retreat? As a martial artist, if he didn’t step into this vast great world to compete, what meaning was there?

Live as a hero, die as a mighty ghost!

This was Ye Tianchen’s belief, the unwavering dedication he held. What he worried about were his family and friends. Someday, when he left Earth to cultivate in the Martial Arts Great World, who knew when or if he could return alive? By then, what would happen to his family and friends? And then, the most crucial question: Time flows like a song, swiftly passing. Even if he returned alive after competing in the Martial Arts Great World, would his family and friends wait for him? The lifespan of a martial artist increases with cultivation, allowing them to live for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. But what of ordinary people? At most, they might live for a century, and even those who live that long are few. As Ye Tianchen advances his cultivation realm step by step, climbing to the Martial Arts Peak, fighting and reaching the top, his family and friends will one by one pass away. The desolation and solitude, how tragic they must be. Thinking of this, Ye Tianchen felt more reluctance and attachment in his heart.

Yet, throughout history, which strong individual hasn’t endured such loneliness and solitude? Which strong individual, upon reaching the Martial Arts Peak, hasn’t lived a lonely life across eternity? Without the Longevity Skill, without the Immortal Skill, it is destined that when a strong individual advances their cultivation and lives for tens of thousands of years, their friends and family will one by one pass away. Such desolation envelops the entire sky. Even if a strong individual can exert power over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they cannot preserve the lives of their friends and family. They will eventually age and die, and all a strong individual can do is witness them become mere bones.

"I understand these truths, but even if I stay by my family and friends now, what difference does it make? They’re still going to pass away. By then, I’ll still be alone. So why not take a chance, defy destiny, and explore the secrets of becoming Immortal in the Martial Arts Great World? Only with the Immortality Skill can I keep them by my side forever," Ye Tianchen thought in his heart.

Ultimately, amid his convoluted thoughts, Ye Tianchen arrived at a conclusion: He must do what needs doing, explore what needs exploring, challenge fate as he must. Whatever happens thereafter, he will do his best, never submit, and remain content even without regrets.

This day, Ye Tianchen did not cultivate, nor did he increase his Martial Arts True Power, nor did he comprehend the divine arts recorded in the "Yijin Jing". Instead, he lay on a reclining chair in the sun, allowing his Divine to quiet down, slowly sensing everything in this world.

Who knows how much time had passed, when Ye Tianchen suddenly began to float gently into the air, lying flat as he floated. He was asleep, snoring like thunder, truly exhausted. Once he relaxed completely, he fell asleep quickly; so many things awaited him, so much awaited exploration. No one forced him; he wished to do these things himself – that was the attitude of "Live as a hero, die as a mighty ghost".

Buzz!

Spiritual energy from all directions gathered, although very thin, it energized Ye Tianchen. He slowly appeared cloaked in a golden aura, enveloping his entire body, with golden Dharma Wheels manifesting upon him. A total of one hundred and eight, each resembling a whirlpool, seemingly able to swallow everything.

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, two golden divine radiance shooting straight into the heavenly vault, piercing through the Heavenly Capital. At this moment, Ye Tianchen felt unprecedented relief, experiencing a sense of transcendence, miraculously healed from his internal injuries. A smile formed on his lips as he gradually closed his hands, merging the Martial Arts True Power circulating around him into his body.

"So this is the highest secret skill of the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill. How did I not think of this before?" Ye Tianchen mused, shaking his head with a chuckle.

Unintentionally, Ye Tianchen hadn’t realized he would cultivate the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill" to the stage of Great Success, something he never expected or imagined. He had merely intended to relax, rest, and sleep, yet he achieved Great Success with the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill". It was truly incredible.

Reflecting on this, Ye Tianchen drew one conclusion. Initially, he believed that mastering such formidable martial arts divine skills like the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill" and others described in "Yijin Jing" wasn’t something easily comprehendible, not achievable within a decade of dedicated cultivation. They were undoubtedly profound and complex, yet little did he realize that it was entirely the opposite. The more advanced the martial arts divine skill, the deeper the absolute skill, the closer they align with the Taoism, the more they meld with the forces of the universe. Precisely when he was most relaxed and indifferent, he reached Great Success with the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill", his battle power increasing once again, hinting at a breakthrough from Mid-stage Martial Sovereign to the late stage...
