With the inheritance of the Overlord Fist Sect in hand, after Lu Yuan perused it, the already maxed-out Steel Bone and Lv 1 Tianji Overlord Body on his profession panel integrated into Lv 1 Heavenly Domination Extravagance.

However, he had only simulated cultivation in the Consciousness Space; in reality, he had just barely opened three of the nine Extreme Channels in his chest.

Just as I expected, the Steel Bone Sect's inheritance focuses on bone tempering, Tianji Gate on flesh tempering, and the Overlord Fist Sect on amplifying the five viscera. When combined, they form Heavenly Domination Extravagance, a comprehensive internal and external cultivation method. Dominating spirit runs throughout.

In the gradually forming night fog, Lu Yuan activated his Martial God Strength.

After integrating the unique dominating spirit of Heavenly Domination Extravagance, the dazzling golden color of the Martial God Strength deepened slightly, showing a tendency to shift towards crimson gold.

Lu Yuan activated Heavenly Domination Extravagance. The Martial God Strength, infused with the dominating spirit, pervaded his entire body. His skin, muscles, bones, and five viscera all felt a slight tingling, swelling, and stinging sensation.

The cultivation method for Heavenly Domination Extravagance is straightforward; just keep activating it.

Standing high on a field ridge, Lu Yuan was coated in a layer of faint crimson-gold glow that refracted the moonlight, lending him an even more mysterious and noble aura.

However, the technique states that tempering the body with dominating spirit will result in pain more than ten times that of typical body tempering methods... I haven't felt that, though.

Lu Yuan blinked, realizing it was because his physique attribute was too high.

His physique, after a single Limit Break, was already many times more effective than that of many Fighters who had achieved Great Achievement in their body tempering.

Later, after experiencing another instance of destruction and rebirth, his physique attribute increased by another 2 points, making his strength even more exaggerated.

As a result, even Heavenly Domination Extravagance, reputed to be the foremost Transverse Martial Arts technique in the Ancient Martial Arts World, seemed to have a rather ordinary tempering effect on him.

Even so, such physical condition and defensive power still fell short when facing a double S-tier Elephant God Walk.

The physique of an Elephant God Walk user must be at least 25.

A difference of three points in physique translates to six attribute points.

Six attribute points...

Lu Yuan exhaled lightly, pondering, Unless I open a new profession panel or make a significant gain in the upcoming Secret Realm exploration, it will be tough to gather enough.

Therefore, for now, he placed his hopes on the large pile of Transverse Martial Arts techniques he possessed.

If I can truly integrate them to create a defensive martial art more formidable than anything before, that would be optimal. Even if that's not feasible, practicing several techniques, constantly stacking armor, and triggering a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation might also be viable...

As Lu Yuan mused, he also retrieved several S-tier Transverse Martial Arts techniques from his inventory that he hadn't yet started, selecting one called Glazed Pagoda Body. While maintaining his Heavenly Domination Extravagance cultivation, he began to study the description of the Glazed Pagoda Body.

In his consciousness, the Experience Points for Lv 1 Heavenly Domination Extravagance on the panel steadily and continuously increased by one point at a time.

Lu Yuan quietly reviewed the technique.

Time slipped away peacefully, like a moonlit river.

「...」

Lu Yuan stayed at his grandfather Lu Yueping's house for three days. After the men from Yellow Bear delivered the cellular repair liquid prepared for Lu Yueping, Lu Yuan claimed it was a "health supplement" he bought with his scholarship money, coaxing Lu Yueping into taking it.

He then left Lu Jing alone and departed on a Fly Shuttle.

His excuse for leaving home this time was to participate in a national competition, leaving Lu Jing to cover for him.

This was to be her compensation for using his phone to chat nonsense with Xia Zhijing.

Aboard the Fly Shuttle, a brawny man with thick eyebrows, a Red Bear who had faithfully followed Lu Yuan since the Elephant God Walk incident, respectfully reported the situation.

"Two matters concerning you, Sir, have come from above."

"Speak."

"One, from the Mosa Religion in Sum Country. Some Mosa Silver Spear Holders wish to invite you to attend a high-level meeting at the end of this month. This would also signify their complete recognition of your status."

"Mosa?"

Lu Yuan lifted his eyelids slightly, pondered for a moment, then let them fall again.

"Continue."

"The second matter is that Sum Nation is planning to dispatch another Gold Bear Level operative..."

The brawny Red Bear paused, sneaking a glance at Lu Yuan's expression, then steeled himself and continued, "to assist you in your work."

Lu Yuan looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly.

A Gold Bear? Assisting me in my work? What work in the Old City Circle requires two Gold Bears? It's more likely about seizing power and replacing me.

Lu Yuan instantly recalled what Yu Wentong had mentioned about the influential figure backing Penglai.

His eyes flickered for a moment before he nodded.

"Alright, I understand."

The brawny Red Bear breathed a quiet sigh of relief and discreetly retreated.

Lu Yuan was left alone in the Fly Shuttle's private chamber, quietly contemplating.

Regarding the two matters the brawny Red Bear had mentioned—neither the Mosa Silver Spear Holder meeting nor the Gold Bear Level operative from Sum Nation—

Lu Yuan didn't plan to concern himself with either.

Over the past few days, he had frequently "dreamed" of the Elephant God dream.

The Elephant God's curse on his chest would also occasionally grow warm.

His intuition told him that the Elephant God Religion's "revenge" was drawing near.

Like the giant boulder tumbling from the peak of Demon Mountain in his dream, it was already... rolling towards him with unstoppable momentum.

This time... I can't end up as pathetic as last time.

Lu Yuan murmured to himself, casually clicking open the link to the information about Secret Realms that Lan Chen had previously sent.

He had pretty much gone through most of the data these past few days.

The global classification system for Secret Realm levels was quite similar to Yellow Bear's internal strength classification.

It also used A, B, C, and D. Above A-level were S, SS, and SSS.

An S-level Secret Realm was already considered quite dangerous and challenging to explore. A double S-level Secret Realm was even more so.

Triple S was almost the peak and was also known as a Sub-legendary Secret Realm.

Above that were Legendary Level Secret Realms that surpassed triple S.

Currently, there were only nine known Legendary Level Secret Realms in the world: Sky Evil, Moon-Eating Forest, Thunderclap Holy Temple...

Only three had been explored, and the exploration progress for each was less than ten percent.

Besides these, there was another type of special Secret Realm, similar to where Penglai was located.

There were no traces of Evil Gods in these Secret Realms. They were habitable but usually had relatively small spaces.

As for the origin of these Secret Realms...

The data didn't offer a precise explanation, only mentioning a host of abstract terms like space, crevices, and folds.

One theory was that Secret Realms were independent small worlds created by Ancient Evil Gods for their followers.

Later, when the Ancient Evil Gods vanished and their followers declined, these small worlds lacked maintenance and were sealed off until they were rediscovered and reopened in the present day.

The purpose of various extraordinary organizations around the world eagerly exploring these Secret Realms was not clearly stated in the material.

But there certainly had to be benefits; otherwise, so much effort wouldn't be invested in exploring them.

These were not Lu Yuan's primary concerns. What mattered to him were the Secret Realms he intended to explore.

So far, Lu Yuan had selected two—

Lament Ruins and Bleeding Plain.

Both were S-level Evil God Secret Realms. The former could be considered a Secret Realm of the Crow God Sect, while the latter showed significant traces of the Mosa Religion.

Lu Yuan personally preferred the former.

The unlocking progress for Death Teller (Extraordinary) was much higher than for Spear Holder (Extraordinary), and upgrading it would bring a greater improvement to Lu Yuan's abilities.

I'll study the strategy guide for Lament Ruins in detail later, Lu Yuan thought, as the image of the Elephant God Walk he had once fought against began to emerge in his mind.

His Spiritual Power spread out like mist, then began to meticulously construct, outline, and replicate the form of the Elephant God Walk.

Lu Yuan had also considered entering an Elephant God Secret Realm.

However, Secret Realms related to the Elephant God Religion were extremely rare and typically low-level, offering little exploration value.

Fortunately, there was a newly discovered Elephant God Secret Realm that, according to Yu Wentong, had even reached the Sub-legendary SSS level. He would have a chance to enter it then.

Using the Elephant God Walk as a template, Lu Yuan slowly began to construct the first True Intention of his own Extraordinary Martial Arts.

His vast Spiritual Power dispersed. The air within this independent space gradually ceased to flow, becoming increasingly stagnant, almost as solid as rock.

Meanwhile, the brawny Red Bear and the group of White Bears outside the room felt an inexplicable aura emanating from Lu Yuan's chamber. It permeated the entire Fly Shuttle like a surging tide, causing their hearts to race and their breathing to hitch, making them afraid to even draw a deep breath.

「...」

Under one hundred and fifty times normal gravity.

Lu Yuan stood quietly.

The muscles on his body undulated slightly, as if small mice were crawling slowly beneath his skin.

The golden Martial God Strength covered his skin and began to circulate around his body.

Several blood-red lines slowly extended across his chest.

Lu Yuan was simultaneously practicing several body-tempering methods, and his True Intention was also being refined.

A towering Elephantman phantom, tens of meters tall, hovered above his shoulders, its majestic presence filling the entire training room. In the already one-hundred-and-fifty-times gravity environment, the atmospheric pressure seemed to grow even heavier.

This process lasted for several hours before Lu Yuan slowly emerged from his cultivation state.

The gravity was removed. Lu Yuan flexed his muscles a little, and a series of crackling sounds rippled through his body.

He stood in place for a while longer. First, he checked his profession panel and roughly calculated the Experience Points gained from this training session. His expression remained unchanged.

When he exited the room, the brawny Red Bear was already waiting by the side. Handing over a towel, he whispered,

"Sir, the Master of Spear Skill you requested has arrived."

"Oh?!"

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he nodded. "Take me there now."

"Yes."

Lu Yuan wanted to open a new profession panel to accumulate attribute points and skill points.

Incidentally, he also wanted to make good use of the silver spear he had obtained from Mosa.

So, he decided to practice a cold weapon martial art.

However, Fighters who specialized in the specific type of spear he favored were rare. Believing that this spear wasn't too different from other common spears, as all were long weapons, he had asked the brawny Red Bear to find an Ancient Martial Artist with profound expertise in Spear Skill to instruct him.

He hadn't expected results so soon.

「...」

At this moment, in a spacious indoor martial arts arena.

A middle-aged man of average stature and plain appearance stood in the center, carefully wiping the silver spearhead in his hand.

After wiping it for what seemed like the umpteenth time, the middle-aged man looked up, a hint of displeasure in his brow, and said to Peregrine Falcon beside him, "I've been waiting for nearly four hours. If your lord doesn't arrive soon, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer."

Peregrine Falcon smiled and consoled him, "Just wait a little longer, Mr. Liao. The lord will be here shortly. If our lord truly doesn't arrive today, we will still fulfill our promise to you, Mr. Liao..."

The middle-aged man's expression softened slightly, and he huffed lightly. "It's not a matter of remuneration, but rather..."

Unfortunately, Peregrine Falcon wasn't listening to him at all. Instead, he quickly faced a particular direction, his eyes gleaming as he said rapidly, "The lord is here, Mr. Liao. Please be ready."

"Hmm?"

The middle-aged man's expression shifted, and he subconsciously followed Peregrine Falcon's gaze.
