Ten thousand Bone Forging Realm cultivators, each with copper skin and iron bones, capable of shattering ten thousand jun (a unit of weight).
One hundred thousand Skin Refinement Realm cultivators, all invulnerable to blades and spears, one man capable of fighting a thousand troops.
Such an army, if they were enemies, would send shivers down your spine just thinking about them.
But if they were your own people, just hearing about them would fill you with excitement.
Moreover, the pills and cultivation techniques before them held the promise of allowing them to enter the Innate Martial Master Realm, capable of reversing aging and extending their lives by three hundred years.
Fueled by this excitement and anticipation, neither Meng Tian nor Wang Ben hesitated.
Each took a Nine Aperture Golden Core, respectfully bowed to Ying Zheng before placing the pill against their hearts as Ying Zheng instructed.
The moment the pill touched their skin, it penetrated through flesh and blood, merging with their hearts.
In a flash, both generals felt a strange power emanating from their hearts, flowing through their blood and spreading throughout their bodies.
Under the influence of this power, the internal injuries they had accumulated from years of battles were instantly healed.
Their bodies, weakened by age, returned to their peak condition.
They were not given any time for surprise or admiration.
Seeing they had successfully integrated the Nine Aperture Golden Cores, Ying Zheng immediately declared, "I will now demonstrate the "True Dragon Body Tempering Technique" for the two of you. You must pay close attention."
As the words left his lips, Meng Tian and Wang Ben looked at him.
Starting from the Flesh Tempering chapter, Ying Zheng flawlessly demonstrated this body-tempering technique perfectly tailored to his own body, one move after another.
At the same time.
The World of "Oregairu".
With her luck enhanced and her cultivation seemingly aided by heaven itself, Yukinoshita Yukino spent an entire day in cultivation.
As dusk approached, she completed the final cycle of her True Essence circulation and opened her eyes, slowly exhaling a breath of air.
That breath of air condensed without dispersing, instantly shattering a vase six or seven meters away.
Looking at the porcelain shards scattered around, she felt a stronger connection to the heavens and earth.
The power that resided within her, capable of shattering mountains, and the clear awareness that her very essence had undergone a transformation, leading to a significant increase in her lifespan, were all reminders that she had successfully broken through to the Heaven-Human Realm.
"When the time is right, heaven and earth will help you achieve your goals. This saying is true indeed.
"If I had continued at my original pace, even with the double effects of the Nine Aperture Golden Core and the 'Wu' Stele, and even with the most suitable cultivation method for me.
"Breaking through to the Heaven-Human Realm would still have taken about four days.
"But now, I have reached the Heaven-Human Realm in just a single day.
"Luck… Perhaps there is also the reason that the inner martial arts have been favored by heaven, making it easier and faster to cultivate?"
Shaking her head, Yukinoshita Yukino did not delve into these untestable hypotheses, turning instead to further understand the power of a Heaven-Human martial artist.
"Heaven-Human and Grandmaster, seemingly only one realm apart, but they are fundamentally different.
"Grandmasters are strong, but they rely on their own strength, not entirely beyond the reach of humans.
"Even in the ancient world without modern weapons, if you truly risked the lives of one hundred thousand, a million people to attack.
"When the Grandmaster's True Essence is depleted, there's still a chance to kill them.
"But Heaven-Humans can easily control the power of heaven and earth.
"Numbers mean nothing to Heaven-Humans.
"Even modern weapons, apart from powerful large-scale weapons like the "禾武", few things pose a threat to Heaven-Humans.
"As for the attack power of Heaven-Humans… I can probably destroy Mount Fuji without much effort."
Having gained a clearer understanding of her current state, Yukinoshita was about to open the chat group to check on the other people's cultivation progress.
Then, the sound of the doorbell rang from the living room.
"At this time…"
She hadn't yet grown accustomed to using her spiritual perception after becoming a Heaven-Human.
Hearing the incessant doorbell, she got up and went to open the door.
As she opened the door, her sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, appeared outside.
"Yukino, you're home."
Seeing Yukino behind the door, looking relatively healthy, Haruno secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister?"
Yukino looked at Haruno, who had suddenly appeared at her apartment, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"You wouldn't want to ask me why I'm here, would you?"
Haruno reached out to pinch her little sister's cheek, but Yukino easily dodged. Haruno, not offended, just teased with a smile:
"You, you… yesterday you suddenly took a leave of absence from school, and today you've been gone all day without any reason.
"The teacher even called Mom.
"Mom and I called you several times, but no one answered.
"If I hadn't stopped Mom and told her to come here first.
"It wouldn't just be your sister here now."
Hearing her sister's words, Yukino belatedly realized that she had been so engrossed in cultivation that she had forgotten to continue taking a leave of absence.
But at this point, it didn't really matter.
Thinking this in her heart, she calmly replied, "I was busy cultivating today and forgot to take a leave of absence."
"Cultivating?"
Even in Japan, there are legends of ninjas and Onmyoji, so Haruno naturally understood what "cultivation" meant.
Hearing her sister use such an absurd excuse, she instinctively reached out to touch Yukino's forehead.
Yukino effortlessly pulled away from her by two meters, her eyes alert as she watched her sister's hand reaching towards her.
"Hah~" Haruno awkwardly kept her hand in mid-air, "I just wanted to see if you had a fever and burned yourself out.
"Speaking of which, Yukino, how did you suddenly move back two meters?
"I just wanted to touch you, was there a need for such a big reaction?"
Yukino ignored her sister's complaints.
She knew that without showing some tangible evidence, it would be difficult to gain the trust of her sister and family.
So, she raised her hand, reaching out to grab a larger vase from the living room.
Haruno: "!!!"
She was completely stunned.
After regaining her senses, Haruno went up to the vase and examined it from top to bottom.
"Yukino, how did you do that?
"Is it a new kind of magic trick?
"But I don't see any trace of props.
"You… you wouldn't have actually learned some kind of ninjutsu or Onmyodo, would you?"
Yukino: "..."
Ninjutsu and Onmyodo, can they move mountains and seas? Can they grant eternal life?
