Chapter 159: Chapter 152: Principles of Body Cultivation

Jeming ultimately didn’t choose those body strengthening techniques that seemed grandiose by name, but instead opted for a rather ordinary one.

“Charles’ Body Element Refining Technique.”

This is the body strengthening technique Jeming purchased from the Magic Net.

This body strengthening technique is a very foundational type of body element refining technique, with an extremely ancient origin, even considered outdated.

Essentially, modern wizards no longer use this technique; there are countless improved element refining techniques available.

However, despite being somewhat outdated, Charles’ Body Element Refining Technique actually laid the technical groundwork for many element refining techniques, and it could be said that more than half of them were improvements from this technique.

The most important thing is that due to its foundational nature, there is a lot of related research.

Jeming searched the Magic Net using Charles’ Body Element Refining Technique as the keyword, and there were over billions of foundational research papers related to it.

Jeming spent several days filtering through various constraints, finally selecting thousands of papers on the intrinsic principles of Charles’ Body Element Refining Technique.

“Damn it, the Magic Net… the search technology is too inhumane…”

After putting down this comment, Jeming seemed completely burnt out and collapsed onto his bed, sleeping for an entire day.

For a long time afterward, Jeming not only needed to research the Divine Power Faith Network but also had to study these papers he purchased.

Besides the content of these papers on the Magic Net, he also set aside time each day to visit the Great Dao Book Pavilion in the depths of his consciousness.

Before the White Jade Book Pavilion in the depths of his consciousness, Jeming’s mental projection sat cross-legged, reading a cultivation insight in his hand.

Apart from the book in his hand, various other book volumes hovered around him.

At the very center of these book volumes, a cultivation method book titled “Body Refining Technique” was surrounded by many others.

All these book volumes, including the one in Jeming’s hand, contained content about cultivation insights regarding the “Body Refining Technique.”

From the start, when Jeming considered enhancing his physical strength, he thought of the Cultivation Immortality World.

In wizard civilization, body strengthening techniques were only a supplementary path for orthodox wizards to make up for their deficiencies, whereas body cultivation was a major path in the Cultivation Immortality Civilization.

No matter what cultivation path a cultivator chooses, they ultimately cannot escape the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, albeit with different major focuses.

It could be said that, solely in terms of body strengthening, the body cultivation techniques of the Cultivation Immortality World are more mature and advanced.

But Jeming didn’t dare seek out overly profound body cultivation methods, and ultimately found a commonly known foundational body refining method to study.

The reason lies in the differences between the two worlds.

In fact, shortly after initially practicing Spiritual Qi, Jeming attempted to cultivate body refining methods.

But unfortunately, the body refining methods provided by the Great Dao Book Pavilion were not entirely useless, but rather completely ineffective.

Furthermore, the effort to enter cultivation took such a long time that Jeming truly believed he lacked aptitude.

But as he became a wizard and gained more knowledge, Jeming gradually sensed that the likely reason those body refining methods didn’t work on him wasn’t his fault.

After carefully studying the most foundational body refining methods from the two worlds, Jeming confirmed that his failure to achieve results before was indeed not his fault, but the world’s fault!

Though the dominant civilizations of wizardry and cultivation may seem human, they are only similar in appearance; their underlying structures are completely different.

Of course, this structure doesn’t mean differences in organs and cells, although there are significant differences in these areas too.

However, the greatest advantage of various body refining methods of the Cultivation Immortality Civilization is their inclusiveness; not just humans, even beasts with completely different internal organ structures can cultivate them.

Jeming refers to deeper-level structures, the fundamental particles constituting matter, namely the differences between “Spiritual Qi” and “Elements.”

Through recent research, Jeming can basically confirm that the core of the body refining methods in the Cultivation Immortality Civilization is to alter the structure of the foundational spiritual power forming the cultivator’s body, progressively bringing it closer to a more “perfect” and “powerful” state.

As for what specifically constitutes perfection and power, different pioneers have different ideas, leading to different cultivation methods.

Similarly, the body strengthening techniques of the element refining series in wizard civilization followed this principle.

For this reason, although the “Inner Cycle” cultivation method Jeming practiced was not only capable of forming an Inner Grotto Heaven but also an exceptional body refining method, his physical enhancement to date had not been extraordinary.

This is because the Inner Cycle Method he cultivated only exhibited effects related to “Spiritual Qi” while aspects related to the body itself were unable to manifest.

Thus, Jeming’s current goal is straightforward; he aims to gradually integrate the techniques of body refining into this world through studying the foundational principles and related techniques of Charles’ Body Element Refining Technique.

“Strictly speaking, this should be considered my first earnest research on the integration of techniques from the two worlds.” Jeming suddenly laughed.

Although Talisman Witchcraft is quite effective, strictly speaking, Jeming did not fully understand the meaning inside the talisman and rune, nor the differences between the two when he was researching Talisman Witchcraft.

The achievements were entirely reliant on continuous experimentation to “piece together.”

Even the Accelerating Talisman Witchcraft developed through the research of the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror is in a similar situation.

However, after so many years of research on Talisman Witchcraft, it at least laid a certain foundation for Jeming, which also gives him the confidence to formally study the fusion of technologies from the two worlds.

Whether it’s the Body Refining Technique or Charles’ Body Element Refining Technique, these are “basic” knowledge widely spread in this civilization.

But this foundation has its advantages, the biggest being that the content is simple enough, and so many people cultivate it, allowing Jeming to extract the content he needs from numerous research papers and cultivation insights.

For instance, the Inner Cycle that Jeming has been cultivating, he doesn’t even understand how this thing creates an inner space out of nothing, let alone the effect of subsequently strengthening the body.

Therefore, if he wants to strengthen the body, starting with these simple practices is the most suitable.

Of course, whether in the Wizard Civilization or Cultivation Immortality Civilization, besides methods of using Extraordinary Power to temper oneself to strengthen the body, there are also techniques and methods like Flesh Transformation and Alien Fusion.

The wizard side doesn’t have much of a problem, but in the Cultivation Immortality Civilization, these techniques are generally used to cultivate Daoist Soldiers, considered one of the left paths of the left path.

However, Jeming chooses this way to enhance his body not only because traditional Body Cultivation cultivators indeed have strong combat power, but another crucial reason is to familiarize himself with the conversion process of this technology first.

“Being able to strengthen my body while laying a technical foundation for transforming my plane, that’s a win-win.”

Jeming closed the book in his hands with satisfaction, watching as the books and paintings around him turned into flowing light, returning to the Great Dao Book Pavilion.

Just as he was about to leave the deep recesses of his consciousness, his body suddenly paused slightly, looking hesitantly at the Great Dao Book Pavilion.

A moment later, a beam of light was spat out by the Great Dao Book Pavilion, transforming into an ordinary looking book in front of him.

On the book, three big words were clearly written: Qi Cultivation Technique.

This is the Spell Jeming is currently cultivating, and it’s the fundamental method of his cultivator cultivation.

Previously, what he said about the ineffectiveness of Body Refining Methods of the Cultivation Immortality Civilization within the Wizard Civilization wasn’t wrong, but there is one exception, which is the Qi Cultivation Technique he is practicing now.

The method of cultivation for this Dharma Gate is based on modifications of the Refining Essence and Qi System, characterized by the integration of the three treasures: Essence, Qi, and Spirit, where the enhancement of any single item can drive the growth of the other two.

This is very common in the Cultivation Immortality World, but when combined with the theories Jeming previously developed, this Cultivation Technique’s functionality is just too ridiculous.

Jeming can confirm that his Spiritual Power and body have not yet undergone transformation by Spiritual Qi, and the only thing truly peculiar to the Cultivation Immortality World is the True Essence within him.

But even so, this Cultivation Technique can completely ignore the fundamental composition gap of the two worlds and achieve the union of the three treasures.

If he were to rank the things Jeming most wants to research, this Cultivation Technique would definitely be on top.

But… he can’t understand it.

The content above is very simple, but it can inexplicably create Spiritual Power out of nowhere and even forcibly enhance Spiritual Power and body by ignoring the differences in basic particles.

“Alas… the more I know, the less I understand.”

Jeming has a premonition that if he can truly understand all the principles within this Cultivation Technique, he would be able to comprehend all the technology within the Cultivation Immortality World.

“Unfortunately, facing this thing now is like a primitive man facing a smartphone.”

Exploring and using the functions within it is simple, but as for understanding the principles… better to give it up and rest.

Shaking his head, he put down the thought.

Jeming released his hand, allowing it to turn back into flowing light and return to the Great Dao Book Pavilion, “turning around” to leave the depths of his consciousness.

Opening his eyes, Jeming let out a long breath.

Exiting the basement to the outside, the Elorcia Plane was now at dusk.

Looking at the sky that seemed like it was on fire, Jeming walked around the garden, checking the operating conditions of various facilities in the garden.

All the workers he encountered along the way respectfully bowed to Jeming.

Jeming used to nod and bow in return earlier, but recently he finds it too troublesome to return the greeting and doesn’t bother with them anymore.

He took a round of the Golden Garden, absorbing all the Red Dust Qi generated today.

Then he contacted the “Construction Team” through the Magic Network Terminal to confirm the preliminary construction situation on the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

After taking care of these miscellaneous matters, Jeming then returned to the laboratory to continue today’s research.
