Chapter 1166 - 1235: The Sky Is Not That High; The Human Heart Is Highest
Although there are windows around the third floor of the Nirvana Pavilion, they are all reinforced with metal, obviously to prevent others from accidentally sneaking in, so the entire large third floor almost only has thin rays of light coming through the gaps.However, for those qualified to enter the third floor, their strength does not affect their learning of cultivation techniques. After all, anyone who has the qualifications to step into the third floor can see things clearly as long as there is a bit of light.
A scroll wrapped in special leather is practically an ocean of martial artist knowledge.
The third floor focuses primarily on body refinement and various Gang Qi techniques and moves.
Lin Hai did not pay much attention to these.
Because of the experience honed from long-term battles on the edge of life and death, Lin Hai has already developed a set of personal combat techniques; there's no need to look at other techniques.
Reading too much might disrupt one's combat thinking, in ancient vernacular, it's called "Tao Heart," same principle.
"Human King Tribulation Body..."
Lin Hai saw an area clearly crucial for the placement of secret manuals, with some rare volumes placed sparsely, showing that they are much more impressive than other secret manuals based on their placement.
Among them, the words Human King Tribulation Body deeply intrigued Lin.
Buddhist Martial, Demon Martial, Taoist Martial, Human Martial, and Evil Martial all have corresponding special body refinement methods.
Among them, the Human King Tribulation Body is the strongest special physique within Human Martial, belonging to the same level as the true "Glazed Jade Body." The functions and effects might vary slightly from person to person, but the grand direction is consistent, all progressing towards Vajra Unbreakable.
"I didn't expect the Lin Family to have not only the Buddhist Martial's Glazed Jade Body but also the Human Martial's Human King Tribulation Body."
With curiosity, Lin Hai gently wiped the dust off the secret manual and opened the rare Human King Tribulation Body volume.
"The sky is high but not the highest, the human heart is the highest, wanting to compete with the sky!"
The first page's content immediately drew Lin Hai's strong interest.
Each of these fifteen characters exudes extraordinary bravery and unyielding determination, which even the dusty environment of Nirvana Pavilion can't conceal—it's imbued with the radiant spirit and civilization.
Turning to the second page, the content once again stunned Lin Hai.
"Human King Road, the first road of ancient and modern times, the Martial Path's Supreme Strong, treading the skies, slaughtering Buddha, killing demons, annihilating Tao, Human Path's supreme treasure for body refinement."
Lin Hai couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
Such arrogant words, yet... he loves such arrogance!
"To tread the Human King Road, one must cultivate the Human King Body, Human King Body, many tribulations, rebirth in Nirvana, nine deaths and nine lives, control all beings... one day bathe in blood and soar to the skies, surely forge the king of tribulation bodies to return!"
These are introductions of sorts. Although lacking substantial content, the descriptions alone are captivating enough to hold one's attention firmly.
"Human King Body!"
As its name implies, it's matched with the Human King's special physique.
Currently, the Human King level is universally acknowledged as the strongest realm, which also reflects the formidable nature of the Human King Tribulation Body.
"Fists shatter Vajra Unbreakable, eyes destroy Glazed Jade Body, severely injure Golden Muscle and Jade Bone, Demon Body, Evil Body tremble in fear and retreat — the past achievements of Human King Tribulation Body."
Seeing this part, Lin Hai nearly abandoned the so-called small Glazed Jade Body directly in his mind.
If these words aren't exaggerated, it is undoubtedly the supreme body refinement method.
Lin Hai quickly turned to the third page, preparing to delve into the proper content.
However... after reading the herbs needed for this page, Lin Hai was dumbfounded.
"Damn it, Human King Tribulation Body is divided into seven layers? The first layer requires enlightenment at the Supreme Strong Peak and must have practiced the true Eight Stele Hand Skill to have a chance to cultivate? It also requires the combination of over a dozen fine herbs?"
Lin Hai's eyes widened; these requirements are too high, aren't they?
Moreover, the note below states that forcing practice, at best, ruins Martial Arts or results in paralysis below the waist, moderately turns one into an idiot with a certificate of dumbness, worst causes explosive death.
What's most important is that the probability of severe consequences from forcing practice seems very high.
"Is this cultivation, or is it suicide?"
Lin Hai mercilessly ridiculed, thinking that he seems to meet the requirements for the First Layer.
"But... the difficulty of the First Layer is already this high, what about thereafter? Too damn hard, what if I can't continue halfway?"
Lin Hai hesitated.
"After practicing the First Layer, if combined with the naturally Ultimate Yin Cold Body, one can step over the Legendary threshold."
After reading all the minor notes, Lin Hai's heart was tied in endless knots like hemp rope, agonized to the extreme.
Legendary level, damn it, mastering the First Layer alone directly enters Legendary, which for countless people is the ultimate goal, after all, Human King level is too distant, generally dared not imagine, let alone undertake.
But the temptation to directly enter the Legendary level is immense.
In the past, when Lin Hai was unaware of the "Human King level," his greatest ambition was just the Legendary level at the time!
"Damn it, I found that someone as free-spirited as me actually had a stuff-in-the-sky father's dilemma of having a hard time making a choice for the first time in life."
After contemplating for a long time, Lin Hai slowly put down the Human King Tribulation Body and walked to the place where the complete version of "Eight Stele Hand" secret manual was located, but during the process, he took three steps back, his gaze constantly stayed on the Human King Tribulation Body secret manual with an expression of reluctance.
"Once I master the complete version of Eight Stele Hand, it will also serve as an insurance, then I'll return to learn your First Layer."
Lin Hai murmured, picked up the complete version of Eight Stele Hand's secret manual.
Men always hope to be stronger, that's undeniable.
After experiencing many life-and-death tests, Lin Hai quickly regained calm rationality, immersed in the content of Eight Stele Hand's secret manual.
...
Ten minutes later, Lin Hai was utterly immersed in the ocean of knowledge in the Eight Stele Hand secret manual, and mainly, the annotations and personal insights left by predecessors were greatly beneficial to him.
At this moment, Lin Hai's understanding of Eight Stele Hand was entering the "full strategy unlocked" state, with experience values soaring.
Meanwhile, in a hidden corner on the third floor of the Nirvana Pavilion, a pair of eyes was quietly observing Lin Hai.
After confirming that Lin Hai seemed completely engrossed, this figure quietly raised a hand, biting the lip hesitated for a few seconds, then flashed a determined look, quickly moved the delicate hand to the chest area, unbuttoned the first button, then the second, third… removed the top.
Following that, the lower clothing was removed.
The figure seemed a bit uncomfortable with the air temperature after losing the clothing, shivering slightly.
If Lin Hai were restored to normal now, with his strength, aided by the dim light, he would surely see a vague silhouette, graceful and slender, undoubtedly, this is a girl's body.
