Chapter 203: Divine Skill, Vajra Unbreakable
The Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill involves Inner and Outer Cultivation, training all aspects of one’s physique, Inner Qi, and Will. It possesses three major characteristics.
Indestructible: Once activated, the entire body transforms into a golden form, making one Invulnerable and Immune to Water and Fire.
Fierce Counter Shock: When attacked, it can generate an incredibly powerful recoil force, causing the attacker to suffer damage in return.
Divine Immunity: To a certain extent, it grants immunity to the Divine Wonders of other techniques, such as Sealing Techniques and Absorption Techniques, preventing one from being controlled by them.
On the Jade Scroll, Spiritual Light flickered. The Martial Arts Realm manifested, suffusing the area around Chen Ping’an.
BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ...
A faint Golden Light flickered between Chen Ping’an’s brows.
"Embrace the Vajra’s Intent to achieve the Unbreakable state! This is the meaning of Vajra Unbreakable... Once activated, the body is as if clad in golden armor, transformed into a Vajra Body that can withstand all external attacks. Vajra Unbreakable has two levels: Unbreakable Copper Body and Golden Body Unbreakable. Achieving the Golden Body Unbreakable is enough to dominate a province and shake the world!"
"The Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill has a total of twelve stances: Withered Tree Root Entanglement, Catch Moon in the Seabed, Arhat Lifting the Tripod, Vajra’s Furious Gaze, Immortal Crane’s Wings, Heaven and Earth Convergence, Overlord’s Bow Opening, Great Saint Stomping the Furnace..."
"..."
Chen Ping’an sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed.
The Martial Arts Realm, which others found incredibly difficult to grasp, was as simple as eating and drinking for him. As the Martial Arts Realm manifested, a gradual understanding bloomed in his heart.
+1!
Even with his eyes closed, Chen Ping’an could clearly feel a point of Cultivation Experience flash before him!
’It works like this!?’ This was the first time Chen Ping’an had ever gained Cultivation Experience just by sitting.
+1!
+1!
As the understanding in Chen Ping’an’s heart grew clearer, points of Cultivation Experience continuously appeared and floated past.
Inside the stone chamber, the Spiritual Light was unending, as was Chen Ping’an’s Cultivation!
...
A Divine Skill truly lived up to its name; its power and Divine Wonders far surpassed so-called superior cultivation methods. If two Cultivators of the same Martial Arts Realm were to fight, one practicing a Divine Skill and the other a superior cultivation method, the result would be completely one-sided.
Perfectly Round and Agreeable! Vajra Unbreakable! Recoil force!...
When Chen Ping’an opened his eyes again, he felt an extraordinary change. He looked down and saw that his body was entirely golden, as if he were a Vajra.
Without using any Profound Light Divine Wonders, he simply struck the ground lightly with his fist, leaving a distinct fist print several inches deep.
"So fierce!" Chen Ping’an was startled.
He lightly tapped his own chest, producing a deep, low sound like clashing Vajra. It felt completely different from the Golden Bell Shield; the power of Vajra Unbreakable was more direct and terrifying!
Name: Chen Ping’an
Realm: Profound Light - Spiritual Clarity’s First Illumination
Martial Arts: Iron Cloth Shirt (Perfection), Flying Locust Stone (Perfection), Public Door Thirteen Sabers (Perfection), Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Horizontal Training (Perfection), Golden Bell Shield (Perfection), Gale Saber Technique (Perfection), Eight Steps Chasing Cicada (Perfection), Flying Star Swordsmanship (Great Success) (157/400), Great Vajra Palm (Mastery) (108/400), Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill (Entry Level) (0/240)
...
’In such a short time, I’ve already reached the Entry Level for the Divine Skill!?’ Chen Ping’an was slightly surprised as he looked at the Golden Finger Panel floating before him. How long had it been? He had completely skipped the pre-entry level experience accumulation phase and directly reached the Divine Skill’s Entry Level.
However, the price for this was the last trace of Spiritual Light on the Jade Scroll being completely exhausted, vanishing into the void.
Apparently, the Spiritual Light on the Jade Scroll was only enough for the Martial Arts Realm to manifest once.
’No wonder it’s said that without directly experiencing the Martial Arts Realm, it’s nearly impossible to master a Divine Skill relying on just a tracing.’ After clearly comprehending the Martial Arts Realm, Chen Ping’an finally understood the origin of this saying.
The Martial Arts Realm of a Divine Skill is like a guide for its cultivation. Divine Skills are already difficult to begin with; without that guide, trying to find your own way to master it is virtually impossible!
Reaching the Entry Level of Vajra Unbreakable brought Chen Ping’an more changes than just that. Between his brows, the Seed of Profound Light, originally the size of a grain of rice, had more than doubled in size.
Just reaching the Entry Level had allowed Chen Ping’an to fully step into the Middle Stage of Spiritual Clarity’s First Illumination, and he even showed signs of breaking through to the Late Stage.
Chen Ping’an took a moment to experience the Divine Wonders of Vajra Unbreakable. After about a quarter of an hour, he began to feel a faint sense of fatigue.
’Is the consumption this high?’ One had to understand that Chen Ping’an had cultivated the Iron Cloth Shirt, Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Horizontal Training, and the Golden Bell Shield in succession. The strength of his physique was incomparable to that of an ordinary Cultivator. But even so, he could barely maintain the state for a quarter of an hour before feeling his stamina give out.
BUZZ—
Following a flash of Golden Light between his brows, the golden hue on Chen Ping’an’s body gradually faded, and in an instant, he returned to his normal appearance.
’It’s not just stamina. Activating the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill also consumes a huge amount of the Profound Light between my brows.’
’If I pushed myself, disregarding the cost, I could probably maintain the Vajra Unbreakable state for about half an hour. Under normal circumstances, it’s about a quarter of an hour!’
’While using the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill, as long as my limit isn’t broken, I can ignore any Attacking Means. My power is Perfectly Round and Agreeable. Conservatively, my overall combat strength is doubled!’
’With my current abilities, if I activate the Divine Skill with all my strength, I could even clash head-on with someone in the Profound Light Middle Realm!’
’Vajra Unbreakable can absolutely serve as a solid trump card!’
...
After a series of tests, Chen Ping’an finally came to these conclusions.
A Divine Skill was truly a Divine Skill. Even at just the Entry Level, it gave Chen Ping’an immense confidence. A Divine Skill like this, with extremely strong defensive capabilities that also possessed some offensive power, greatly increased one’s sense of security.
And this was just the power at the Entry Level. If he could advance it to the Minor Success Realm and step into the level of the Unbreakable Copper Body, to what degree would his combat power increase!
At that time...
A smile appeared on Chen Ping’an’s face as his thoughts drifted, filled with anticipation.
However, the effort required to advance a Divine Skill like Vajra Unbreakable to the Minor Success Realm was likely incomparable to other cultivation techniques. It cost 240 Cultivation Experience points, whereas a superior cultivation method would only require 60 points—a full four-times difference!
’I wonder what kind of position I could get on the Rising Star Chart with my current strength?’
According to the latest issue of the Canglong Province’s Rising Star Chart, of the one hundred prodigies listed, twenty-seven had entered the Profound Light Realm. Among those twenty-seven, only five had reached the Profound Light Middle Realm.
And with the Entry Level Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill, Chen Ping’an was strong enough to clash head-on with those in the Profound Light Middle Realm. Even if he wasn’t their equal, he wouldn’t be far off! His overall combat strength was extremely close to the Profound Light Middle Realm.
Factoring in the other prodigies on the Rising Star Chart who also cultivated Divine Skills, a rough estimate would place Chen Ping’an’s rank within the top fifteen!
He might even rank in the top ten!
The Rising Star Chart’s top ten!
What an honor that would be!
