Cultivating in Different Professions

Chapter 142: Chapter 111: Indestructible Golden Body

Su Mu stood in the courtyard.

Moonlight veiled him like a fine gauze, and his skin seemed to shimmer with faint specks of golden light.

A strange power surged throughout Su Mu’s body, infusing every one of his cells.

Su Mu stood quietly, accepting the baptism of this power, so engrossed that he forgot the passage of time.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mu finally opened his eyes. A strange golden glint flashed in his pupils before vanishing.

’Is this the Body Tempering Extreme Realm?’

Su Mu slowly raised a hand before his eyes. The simple act of clenching his fist sent a series of cracks, like popping beans, through his body.

His skin, muscles, tendons, and bones felt perfectly integrated, moving as one harmonious whole.

With every movement, the power throughout his body unified, ready to erupt with explosive force.

This was the Body Tempering Extreme Realm.

Su Mu had a feeling that if he were to fight Hu Guangshao now, he could defeat him in a single move, even without using his intent.

An ordinary Martial Artist at Bone Tempering Perfection would now find it difficult to withstand even one of his blows.

The physique of the Body Tempering Extreme Realm was truly terrifying.

’And this is just the power of the Body Tempering Extreme Realm. If I also account for the Physical Divine Technique derived from it—’

Su Mu recalled the new information that had appeared in his mind. Even he found it difficult to estimate the full extent of his current strength.

The Physical Divine Technique: Indestructible Golden Body.

This Divine Technique would elevate one’s physique to an unbelievable level.

Defense, strength, and vitality would all be enhanced to a certain degree.

In short, it made a person stronger, more durable, and able to recover from injuries much faster.

It was a well-rounded Physical Divine Technique.

In some ways, it might not be as potent as a more "specialized" Physical Divine Technique, but its strength lay in its comprehensiveness.

Most importantly, the Indestructible Golden Body had one ultimate advantage.

When cultivated to its peak, the Indestructible Golden Body could even allow one to be reborn from a single drop of blood.

This was the origin of the name "Indestructible."

Of course, for the current Su Mu, being reborn from a drop of blood was still a distant dream.

’But even so—’

Su Mu thought to himself, clenching his fists and activating the Indestructible Golden Body.

In an instant, a faint golden light veiled his fair skin, and the power in his body surged by thirty percent.

CLANG!

Su Mu drew the Autumn Water Saber and slashed forcefully at his own arm.

With a crisp ring of metal on metal, the Autumn Water Saber was repelled directly by his tough skin.

’Such powerful defense!’ Su Mu thought to himself. ’An ordinary cultivator at Bone Tempering Perfection would have trouble breaking my defense, even if they were wielding a Divine Weapon. Within the Body Tempering Realm, it would be hard for anyone to hurt me even if I just stood still.’

He was extremely satisfied with the effects of the Indestructible Golden Body.

He could now be considered truly invincible below the Blood Transformation Realm. He might even stand a chance in a fight against an ordinary Blood Transformation Realm cultivator.

’However, maintaining the Indestructible Golden Body state consumes a massive amount of stamina,’ Su Mu assessed the changes in his body. ’With my current stamina, I can only maintain it for a quarter of an hour.’

For that quarter of an hour, his defense nearly doubled and his strength increased by thirty percent. Such an effect was already heaven-defying.

Su Mu deactivated the Indestructible Golden Body and once again slashed his arm with the Autumn Water Saber.

This time, he managed to cut open a small gash.

But soon, his muscles and skin contracted, and the wound stopped bleeding.

Then, at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, the several-inch-long wound began to heal.

This was another effect of the Indestructible Golden Body, a passive one that didn’t require him to deliberately activate the Divine Technique.

The Indestructible Golden Body greatly enhanced his body’s vitality. Externally, this manifested as a massively increased recovery speed after being injured.

This was actually the most heaven-defying aspect of the Indestructible Golden Body, and what made Physical Divine Techniques so incredible.

If it only increased defense and explosive power, many martial skills could achieve similar effects, failing to demonstrate the true might of a Physical Divine Technique.

But an enhancement to one’s vitality was something martial skills could never accomplish.

Right now, Su Mu’s injuries merely healed quickly. But as his Cultivation grew higher, regrowing limbs or even being reborn from a drop of blood might not be impossible.

Even now, he could withstand injuries that would be fatal to an ordinary Martial Artist, which naturally increased his chances of survival when facing danger.

The Indestructible Golden Body was awesome.

Holding the Autumn Water Saber, Su Mu slowly practiced his saber techniques, steadily familiarizing himself with his body’s new strength. He continued until dawn, at which point he put away the saber, called for an attendant, washed up, and changed clothes before heading directly to the Government Office in the front courtyard.

Su Mu had just sat down when Yu Xiujiang rushed in.

"Sir, something’s happened!"

Yu Xiujiang said, his face etched with panic.

"What is it?"

Su Mu asked calmly, his newfound strength giving him the confidence to remain composed.

"A few days ago, a shipment of goods from the Ronghua Association was hijacked outside the city. Shen Yizhi came to the East City Bureau for help, and Chief Chen led some men out of the city to investigate. They’ve been gone for several days and haven’t returned."

Yu Xiujiang said, catching his breath, "Early this morning, a body was dumped at the East City Gate. It’s one of the constables who went out of the city with Chief Chen!"

Ever since Su Mu had killed Ma Shuangcheng, the former head of the Ronghua Association, the new head he had casually appointed had completely sided with the East City Bureau—whether out of gratitude for the opportunity or out of sheer desperation.

He reported in every morning and evening; he was just short of spending his entire day at the East City Bureau.

The biggest advantage of doing this was that the East City Bureau became his backer. Whenever he ran into trouble, he would come to the East City Bureau to have it resolved.
