Chapter 2167: Chapter 1901: Demon Suppressing Stele (2)

Therefore, he does not expect himself to reach the first level of Overlord Physique today; as long as he can make a substantial improvement, that would be quite good.

Training in the gravity field, as the Primordial Body improved, Song Yun’s bent legs gradually straightened, and his hunched back also straightened up.

Not knowing how much time had passed, he stopped training and felt that the difference between the twenty times gravity field and the previous ten times gravity wasn’t significant, and his body could fully endure it.

He raised his watch to check the time, but under the effect of gravity, the watch had become ineffective.

He looked back at He Sui: "How long have I been standing in this position?"

"A...a day." He Sui stammered in reply, her face full of surprise, and asked: "Song Yun, did you...did you train in Body Refining Techniques?"

Song Yun nodded: "Yes."

"No wonder your physical strength is so strong, that makes sense." He Sui looked enlightened, then continued: "However, although Body Refining Techniques are powerful, they are tough to train and progress very slowly. Very few people choose this path. It’s unexpected that even with the scarce spiritual energy and limited resources out there, you’re someone who practices body refinement."

For Song Yun, it was the first time hearing this argument, as "Yin Xi’s Manual" mentioned that the "Primordial Technique" is hard to cultivate, only referring to the Primordial Body, because Master Yin Xi stated that it ranks among the top ten Body Refining Techniques.

As for whether other Body Refining Techniques are difficult to cultivate or not, Song Yun was unaware.

He looked at He Sui: "So, in Taoyuan, no one practices body refinement?"

He Sui said: "There are people refining their bodies in Taoyuan, but they need resource assistance and determination to persist, which is rare. In contrast, training True Qi progresses much faster and doesn’t involve the physical grinding pain, yields quick results, and has plenty of techniques, so ninety-nine percent choose to cultivate True Qi."

Upon hearing this, Song Yun was not shaken at all.

He would continue with body refinement.

Training True Qi, he would not fall behind either.

He believed that walking solely on one path will not lead to the destination. The human body complements each other, and having any weaknesses will result in stagnation.

Therefore, there should be no weaknesses.

True Qi, physique, both need to be strong.

Though thinking this way, Song Yun didn’t explain much to He Sui: "I previously acquired a body refining technique, just casually practicing, and the effect was quite good."

He Sui laughed and pointed at the stone stele in the center of the hall, encouraging: "Keep it up, I believe you can reach there."

A smile that captivates cities and countries might be describing a woman like He Sui.

At this moment, her smile was astonishingly beautiful, making Song Yun lose himself.

Until she blushed and lowered her head, Song Yun realized his gaze was slightly lost, chuckled, retrieved his gaze, and looked at the stele.

The enhancement of the Primordial Body allowed him to withstand greater gravity and he walked a few steps forward.

But there was still some distance to the stele.

The closer to the center area, the faster the increase in gravity, perhaps reaching thirty times gravity, bending Song Yun’s knees again.

Once more, he stopped, using the gravity field to temper himself and train the Primordial Body.

Just like that, walking while training, Song Yun slowly approached the stele.

...

Unconsciously, eight days passed.

Training in the gravity field, Song Yun’s Primordial Body had significantly enhanced.

His skin became smoother and more delicate, resembling that of a newborn baby.

But he could clearly feel that his Qi-Blood and body had grown stronger, defense improved by several levels, and power had reached over ten thousand pounds.

Ten thousand pounds of strength, according to records in "Yin Xi’s Manual," equates to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

That is to say, solely relying on physical strength, he could now battle with Foundation Establishment Middle Stage without being at a disadvantage.

Of course, Foundation Establishment cultivators have other means, and merely relying on defense and brute force to win is not that easy.

However, it was essential to know that Song Yun was only at mid-level of sss grade.

Such a comparison is exceptionally terrifying.

"Indeed, the ’Primordial Technique’ is too formidable, if truly initiated into the first level Overlord Physique, wow, that would be something."

"Haha, it’s also thanks to this gravity field, otherwise, my Primordial Body wouldn’t have progressed so rapidly."

Song Yun was ecstatic at heart, just from the enhancement of the Primordial Body, this Daxia Ruins journey was worth it.

Coming back to his senses, he looked towards the stone stele ahead.

After eight days, he had already reached the front of the stele.

Perhaps the center’s gravity field was at forty times, but its influence on him wasn’t too severe; although he couldn’t fully exert his strength, free movement wasn’t much of an issue.

He raised his hand to gently touch the stele, feeling it was cold, and a vague aura emanated from it, like a fierce beast that had been sleeping for millennia abruptly opened its eyes, making him tremble and withdraw his hand.

Moreover, under the stele, there was a faintly emanating aura that resembled that of a mythical beast, not concentrated, dispersing into the surroundings.

Song Yun frowned slightly, scrutinizing the stele, which was entirely black, simple and unadorned, of flat shape, with unpolished corners, looking as though a random piece of black stone had been picked from the mountains and thrown here.

However, the magnificent aura the stele exuded wasn’t something an ordinary stone could possess.

Even as Song Yun stared at the stele, he instinctively felt like submitting.

"Truly strange!"

Song Yun privately sighed and continued observing the central crack in the stele.

The crack was about finger-width, extending from the base to the top, splitting the stele into two halves.

The characters carved on the stele were also divided into two halves.

The characters were distorted, resembling a drawing, seemingly consisting of three characters.

Song Yun didn’t know what script it was, as he had never seen it before.

Though it looked somewhat like Chinese characters, he was unsure which dynasty they belonged to, and they didn’t resemble oracle bone script.

"Strange, what does it say?"

Song Yun was puzzled in his mind when suddenly, "Yin Xi’s Manual" flipped open, and a book titled "Monster Script Compilation" appeared in his mind.

"What is this?"

Song Yun was surprised, the "Monster Script Compilation" in his mind rapidly paged through, then paused on a particular page.

Several characters from "Monster Script Compilation" appeared, matching the ones carved on the stele precisely, along with a Chinese character reference.

These three words, when translated into Chinese, startlingly meant "Demon Suppressing Stele"!

"Demon Suppressing Stele, could it be that beneath this stele is suppressing a powerful mythical beast!?"

Song Yun’s expression changed; he didn’t have time to marvel at the rich reserve in "Yin Xi’s Manual" and instead felt tense.

If it truly is a Demon Suppressing Stele, does the crack imply that the mythical beast will break the seal and reappear in the world?

The grand setup of the Daxia Ruins withholding a mythical beast beneath this stele is absolutely extraordinary.

Things would turn troublesome if the mythical beast indeed emerged.

"Following the guidance of the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation, this must be the array’s eye, and the best treasure in the Daxia Ruins is surely here. Even if I’m leaving, I must get the treasure before moving on."

Song Yun was not in a hurry and continued examining the stele.

Since he had reached this point, even if the Primordial Body advanced, leaving empty-handed wasn’t an option; he had to obtain something at least.

At this moment, Song Yun noticed two purple flowers faintly visible within the stele’s crack.

The flowers had three petals, with a purple fruit growing in the center.

"Purple Kite Fruit!"

Song Yun’s eyes lit up, showing an expression of surprise.

The Purple Kite Fruit is an extremely rare spiritual fruit, which can be consumed directly, and once refined offers significant benefits towards cultivation.

It was hard to spot the fruit nestled in the crack without closely examining.

Moreover, the spiritual energy of the Purple Kite Fruit seemed to be concealed by the Demon Suppressing Stele, which is why Song Yun previously hadn’t noticed it.

"A great find."

Song Yun chuckled, extended the Blood Sun Sword, and picked the two Purple Kite Fruits onto the blade, taking them out from the crack.

He stored the two Purple Kite Fruits and continued observing around the Demon Suppressing Stele, finding nothing else before turning and exiting the hall, returning to the corridor.

However, he didn’t notice that after turning away, the root of the Purple Kite Fruit in the stele’s crack instantly withered, sending out wisps of purple smoke that diffused into the air.

The Demon Suppressing Stele slightly trembled, and the crack seemed to widen a little more.
