  Rolling on the ground for recommendation votes, asking for collection~~~ New book needs everyone's care and support!!!!!

  ......................................

  The ancient house was built on the east side of Leshui City's Yunfu Mountain, and Gu Chen's residence was right at the foot of Yunfu Mountain.

  Yunfushan is not very high, but it is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, giving it an ethereal and mysterious feel, so the people of Lesui City also call it 'Lingfushan'.

  This Lingfeng Mountain really has some spiritual energy, it is a gathering place for micro spiritual veins. The ancestors of the ancient family saw the weak spiritual energy of Lingfeng Mountain and built the ancient clan's mansion at the foot of the mountain.

  After Gu Chen reached the fourth layer of the Heavenly Sky, he no longer stayed at home to cultivate, but instead gave himself a more systematic cultivation.

  Every morning, he gets up early and runs from the foot of Yunfu Mountain to the top of Yunfu Mountain for basic exercise, then practices a set of Dahelijin Gangquan and other body-building exercises at the top of Yunfu Mountain.

  With the help of Zhongpin Juyuan Lingye, his body was nourished and tempered every day, and Gu Chen's physical fitness improved dramatically, becoming stronger with each passing day.

  In the Gu family, there is no one among the three generations of descendants who can match Gu Chen's diligence in cultivation. Not to mention the cultivation methods and knowledge, just relying on willpower and perseverance, none of the three generations of Gu family descendants can compare with him.

  Two days before Gu Chen went up the mountain to practice, Gu Song and Gu Yang brought a group of young men to cause trouble twice. However, after being slapped on the ears several times by Gu Chen, they finally understood that the current Gu Chen was no longer the Gu Chen who could be bullied at will in the past.

  Losing once can be attributed to luck, but Gu Song and Gu Yang's consecutive defeats at the hands of Gu Chen made even a fool realize that Gu Chen's current strength was no longer what it used to be. Although Gu Chen only showed off his Post-Heavenly Three Layers' strength, the young masters of the Gu clan, including the First Elder and Second Elder, would never dare look down on him again.

  Moreover, many young men from ancient families saw the fear still hidden in Gu Chen's eyes. They would avoid him as soon as they saw him from a distance. A postnatal third-layer cultivator who could consecutively defeat postnatal fifth and sixth-layer cultivators was simply an abnormality.

  Gu Zhen was also happy with this, he had no interest in most of the Gu family members, the path to immortality he wanted to take was one that the Gu family members could only look up to and admire from afar, he didn't want to have too much contact with these young people from the Gu family, one day he would leave the Gu family and fly towards a higher and more distant sky.

  Although one day he will leave, although many people in the ancient house look down on him, Gu Chen has no intention of neglecting the ancient house. This is not just because his father is in the ancient house.

  The ancient house is the home of Gu Chen, where he was born and grew up. His mother is the daughter of the head of the Gu family, and the head of the Gu family is his grandfather and paternal uncle, so he must speed up his training as much as possible to improve his strength in order to cope with the crisis of the ancient house three years later.

  If the disaster of the Gu family came prematurely, like a sudden cancellation of an engagement, Gu Chen would not be surprised at all. Even if he lived for 500 years and could return to being a 10-year-old boy again, what else was impossible in this world?

  That's why Gu Chen must improve his strength as soon as possible, so that when the crisis comes, he won't be a helpless bystander like in his past life.

  Another half month has passed, and today Gu Chen ran to the top of Lingfeng Mountain, only to feel that his strength was not yet exhausted. Inside his body, a powerful True Qi surged left and right, as if it wanted to burst out of his body.

  Gǔ chén dà xǐ, zhè shì tū pò xiū wèi de qián xī zhēng cáo, lì jí pán xī yùn qì, guǒ rán, xiān tiān sì céng de píng zhàng zài gǔ chén bù zhī bù jué de xiū liàn zhōng jiù yǐ jīng kāi shǐ pò suì, què hái méi yǒu quán miàn bēng kuì, yī gǔ qiáng dà de lì liàng cóng kāi shǐ pò suì de píng zhàng liè fèng zhōng chuán chū.

  After the ancient true energy burst, the already shaky four-layer barrier instantly collapsed and disappeared without a trace. A powerful force suddenly spread throughout Gu Chen's body. Gu Chen punched the ground with one fist, and a flat bluestone as big as a washbasin was instantly shattered into pieces by his punch.

  The day after tomorrow five layers...

  Finally reached the fifth layer of the acquired realm.

  Gu Chen suddenly jumped up, looked up at the sky and let out a long whistle. In just one month after returning to being ten years old, he had advanced from the second layer of Houtian to the fifth layer, advancing three layers in one go.

  "The day after tomorrow, I can finally cultivate the 'Tian Gang Quan Ti' technique."

  The Tianxia Zhuanti Great Method is a superior qigong method for cultivating the physical body in Confucianism.

  It is the lowest starting point of the top-grade cultivation method in the entire ancient desolate continent, and it can be cultivated when the cultivation reaches the fifth layer of the acquired realm.

  The Tianxia Quan Ti Dafa is divided into ten levels, starting from a low level but with great power. After the first level, one can practice at the fifth layer of the Post-Heavenly Realm, but the tenth level requires reaching the Yuan Shen period of the Life Spring Realm. In between, it spans across two major realms: Xian Tian and Shen Hai. The achievement is quite high, and among the top-notch cultivation methods, it is also a first-rate one.

  In the ancient times, most of the time was spent in the Great Dryness, the first great nation of the ancient wilderness. The Great Dryness is a sacred place for Confucianism, with Confucius as its revered figure, located at the center of the ancient wilderness continent, known as the orthodox state. Even the powerful and prosperous Yan Dynasty, in the eyes of the people of the Great Dryness, was only a barbaric land outside their borders.

  There is another method called Tianxia Zhengyuan Jue, which is the supreme method of Confucianism. Tianxia Quan Ti Da Fa is a physical tempering technique that can only be practiced when one's cultivation level has reached a certain stage. After practicing it, one can exert greater power, but it cannot improve one's cultivation realm.

  The Tianxia Zhengyuan Decree is the supreme decree for upgrading one's realm after cultivation, and it is on the same level as the Daoist Dingtian Decree. It is a secret method that is not passed down in the Confucian holy land of Baisheng Hall. Gu Chen has only heard of it but has never seen it before.

  The Tian Gang Quan Ti Dafa is divided into ten levels. Each time you complete a level, your physical strength and power increase by a factor of two. By the tenth level, your physical strength and power will have increased by a factor of ten, becoming quite terrifying.

  Even when facing an opponent one level higher than themselves, a cultivator who has practiced the Tian Gang Quan Ti Great Method can gain a great advantage, and ordinary cultivators of the same level are almost swept away.

  Of course, some mysterious cultivators who cultivate special techniques are another story altogether.

  Gu Chen closed his eyes and sat down, recalling the training method of Tian Bao's body-refining technique in his mind. This set of techniques was one of Gu Chen's main practices in his past life, just like Ding Tian Jue, it had already been deeply imprinted on his brain, and he quickly remembered everything.

  The Tian Gang Quan Ti Dafa is different from many other qigong practices and does not involve the ordinary true qi tempering of muscles, skin and bones, but rather a unique and vast righteous energy of Confucianism.

  According to the practice method of Tian Gang Quan Ti Da Fa, a special kind of energy will be produced: Haoran Zheng Qi.

  Haoran's upright energy is strong and unyielding, repelling all evil, a hundred times more powerful than ordinary true energy. When cultivated to a high level, Haoran's upright energy transforms into Tian Gang, which can withstand the attacks of some magical treasures with impunity.

  At this time, Gu Chen had just cultivated the Tianxia Quan Body Refining Technique and was still far from achieving the True Qi Transformation. However, as long as he successfully practiced the first layer, his physical strength would increase by a factor of two, and his power would also double. Even if he only had a cultivation base of Post-Heaven Fifth Layer, he could still defeat all the experts in the Post-Heaven realm with ease.

  The day after tomorrow, the 9th layer is not even worth 9 stones of strength. The 5th layer of the acquired realm already has 5 stones of strength. With a doubling of power, there's 10 stones of strength. Adding Gu Chen's understanding of his skills and combat awareness, how can an acquired realm cultivator be his match?

  The power of ten stones is equivalent to the power of one tiger, and from a purely physical standpoint, it has already caught up with the first layer of the Innate Realm. However, there is an essential difference in the nature of true energy between the acquired and innate realms, with a gap as vast as the heavens separating the two realms. Even if one were to successfully cultivate the Heavenly Punishment Tempering Body Great Technique's first level, they would still be far inferior to an Innate Realm cultivator.

  In his past life, Gu Zhen was a great cultivator of the Yuan Shen period. He had cultivated the Tian Gang Quan Ti Dafa to the tenth level and had experience in cultivation. When he cultivated again, it was naturally twice as easy.

  In his past life, Gu Chen obtained the Tian Jue Quan Body Tempering Technique. After practicing for ten days, he finally produced a wisp of Haoran Righteous Qi. Another ten days passed before he understood how to control the Haoran Righteous Qi to temper his muscles, skin, and bones.

  Now, Gu Chen was familiar with the road, and his previous cultivation had already abandoned all detours. Just a moment later, he had cultivated a vast and upright energy, and began to temper his muscles, skin, and bones.

  Based on his past life experience, Gu Chen estimated that within a month's time, he would be able to cultivate the Tian Gang Quan Ti Great Method to the first level of mastery.

  This time, Gu Chen sat for a whole day, from morning till the sun set in the west. When he slowly opened his eyes, the western sky was filled with a beautiful red glow.

  He got up, and Gu Chen punched out a powerful Vajra Fist, which was displayed from morning till sunset. Gu Chen didn't eat anything all day, but he didn't feel a bit hungry, instead, he felt that his whole body's energy was surging, and if it wasn't released, there would be a feeling of oppression.

  In no time at all, Gu Chen finished a complete set of the Great Strength Golden Fist, and astonishingly, his face wasn't red, he wasn't panting, and his strength was still not exhausted.

  The day after tomorrow, three layers of time, after finishing a set of Dahelikongquan, Guchen had a weak feeling of syncope, and could not practice the second pass within one day.

  The day after tomorrow, four layers, although somewhat better, but also only less dizzy, finished a set of exercises and felt very tired, can practice at most twice a day.

  Now I can finish a set of powerful Golden Bell Punch without my face turning red or gasping for air. In this state, I can do at least five sets a day, which has already exceeded the physical endurance of an ordinary person.

  After practicing the Tian Gang Quan Ti Da Fa, the physical body has been strengthened to some extent, enough to compare with the physical body of the six layers of acquired skills. The Tian Gang Quan Ti Da Fa is indeed a superior skill of the Confucian school.

  Yu then continued to throw two sets of powerful Diamond Fists, Gu Chen was slightly panting, and the feeling of hunger gradually spread. He glanced at the rainbow in the sky and headed down the mountain.

  Gu Chen had decided more than half a month ago to upgrade his cultivation again, so he began to teach his father the superior pre-heavenly cultivation method. Now that he has returned to being ten years old for over a month, Gu Chen also gave Gu Cangyun a hint that he would ask the old immortal in his dream for the Pre-Heavenly Boundary Cultivation Method and teach his father a set of Pre-Heavenly Boundary Techniques, which should be considered a normal move and wouldn't arouse any suspicion.
