Over time, through countless years, everyone came to know the greatness of the Sun God Emperor, but his true name was lost.
"Really? There's actually a book written by the Sun God Emperor here?"
Out of curiosity, Qin Shuang opened the book.
"All cultivation in this world begins with body refinement."
"A strong body breeds divinity, and a divine spirit allows one to perceive all things in heaven and earth."
"Refine momentum into the body, connect with heaven and earth, and use oneself to leverage the power of heaven and earth..."
Reading this, Qin Shuang nodded.
As expected of the first person to lead humanity to the pinnacle of the universe, these words simply and clearly explained the mysteries of cultivation.
However, after reading further, Qin Shuang understood why the book left by the Sun God Emperor was not cherished.
"However, this path requires exceptionally high personal talent."
"Even with predecessors paving the way, fewer than one in ten million successors can achieve the Dao."
"Therefore, I have been contemplating whether I can create a path that allows mortals to ascend to heaven?"
"Mortals are foolish."
"Only the physique requires perception, and effort must go hand in hand with perseverance..."
Qin Shuang could barely understand this section.
The Sun God Emperor believed that comprehending and cultivating laws was too difficult for ordinary people.
Therefore, he wanted to open a path to the heavens that ordinary mortals could also cultivate on.
The Sun God Emperor, Roy, believed that ordinary people had poor comprehension and were unsuited for methods that relied on talent, like cultivating laws.
If one cultivated their physique, they could achieve success simply through effort and perseverance.
Thus, the Sun God Emperor, Roy, decided to create a cultivation technique that focused solely on the physique.
Unfortunately, due to some unknown reasons, the Sun God Emperor transcended the universe first and could not complete this great undertaking.
"Huh? Young man, you're looking at this book."
Just as Qin Shuang was engrossed in reading, an old man's voice roused him.
"Grandpa Luo."
Qin Shuang looked up and greeted the old man with a smile.
This old man was the curator of the Zhangjia Town library. Qin Shuang had been visiting the library frequently during his time in Zhangjia Town, and they had become quite familiar with each other.
"I thought this book had been lost for decades, but I didn't expect to see it again today."
"However, young man, you can read this book for leisure and amusement, but don't take it too seriously."
"Ah? Why not?"
Qin Shuang was puzzled by Grandpa Luo's words.
Although he hadn't finished reading it, the part he had read, the Sun God Emperor Roy's descriptions were profound yet easy to understand, directly hitting the core.
It gave one the feeling that as long as they cultivated according to his described method, they could achieve something.
"Haha, young man, you're still too young."
Grandpa Luo patted Qin Shuang on the shoulder. "Indeed, the book's initial statements are quite reasonable."
"But this talk of cultivating only the physique and not comprehending laws is utter nonsense."
"Over countless years, everyone has come to a consensus."
"Cultivating only the physique can at most reach the level of a Level 6 Warrior."
"Even those in the Dragon Domain, Black Tortoise Domain, and Hundred Beast Domain must comprehend the Law of Dragon, the Law of Strength, and the Law of Beast to reach Level 7."
"In countless years, not a single person has broken through to Level 7 solely through their physical body."
"This..."
Upon hearing Grandpa Luo's words, Qin Shuang opened his mouth but found no words to refute him.
During this time, through the introductions in books from libraries in various villages and cities, Qin Shuang had gained a certain understanding of this universe.
The Proving the Dao in this universe was roughly equivalent to the Golden Immortal in the Immortal Fiend Demon Realm that his father had mentioned.
The Saint Realm was equivalent to the Heavenly Immortal realm.
A Level 6 expert was roughly equivalent to the Golden Core stage in the Mortal Realm.
A Level 7 expert was equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage in the Mortal Realm.
Level 8 was equivalent to Void Integration, and Level 9 was equivalent to Void Insight stage.
And in the Mortal Realm, between the Void Insight stage and the Heavenly Immortal realm, there were still two major realms: Tribulation Crossing and Mahayana.
This showed how vast the span was between a Level 9 expert and the Saint Realm.
As for innate physical bodies, although rare, they were not non-existent.
At the very least, Qin Shuang knew that his father, Qin Yu, had cultivated his body to the Xiantian realm in the Mortal Realm.
If one were to simply forge their body without cultivating a technique, no one could reach the Golden Core realm, let alone the Nascent Soul stage with their physical body.
Unless one cultivated a specific body-refining technique, their physical strength wouldn't significantly increase when their realm advanced.
However, this would no longer be considered simple physical cultivation; it should be called "Body Cultivation."
Body Cultivation also requires the cultivation of techniques, something for people to "comprehend."
That was not the "Dao" that the Sun God Emperor wanted to create.
"Mm, I understand, Old Man Luo."
Accepting Old Man Luo's kindness, Qin Shuang smiled, closed the book, and placed it back on the shelf, proceeding to look at other books.
When Old Man Luo was about to close the library that evening, Qin Shuang paused as he passed the bookshelf. In the end, he took the "Overview of Cultivation" written by the Sun God Emperor into his hand, obtained a borrowing certificate from Old Man Zhang, and left with the book.
...
"Qi Gathering Stance..."
Back at the inn, Qin Shuang opened the "Overview of Cultivation." When he saw the Sun God Emperor's detailed explanation of the "Qi Gathering Stance," Qin Shuang's eyes flashed.
The "Qi Gathering Stance" was the most widely circulated and known cultivation stance in the Starry Sky Universe.
Basically, 98% of humans on every planet in the Starry Sky Universe had practiced the "Qi Gathering Stance."
In the Sun God Emperor Luo Yi's opinion, the "Qi Gathering Stance," which allowed one to cultivate all the way to the level of a Level 6 expert, was simply perfect in his eyes and represented the "Dao" for all ordinary people.
The Sun God Emperor Luo Yi speculated whether strengthening the "Qi Gathering Stance" could allow people to break through the formidable barrier of Level 7, enabling humans to reach Level 7 or even higher through physical cultivation.
Alternatively, if the Qi Gathering Stance could only cultivate up to Level 6, perhaps a new cultivation stance similar to the Qi Gathering Stance but with greater body-forging effects could be created?
Further in the book, the Sun God Emperor had various speculations about future cultivation.
"This Qi Gathering Stance is indeed extraordinary. If my father had known about this Qi Gathering Stance back then, he probably wouldn't have had to suffer so much and endure so much hardship to easily achieve a Golden Core body."
After a moment of thought, Qin Shuang assumed the cultivation stance of the "Qi Gathering Stance" in the inn's bedroom, preparing to personally experience its cultivation effects.
Based on the memories in his mind, Qin Shuang slightly adjusted his stance for the Qi Gathering Stance.
Although Qin Shuang was at the Heavenly Immortal realm, he himself had not cultivated any body-refining techniques. His physical quality, tempered by the spiritual energy of the God Realm, had reached the level of a Level 9 expert in the Starry Sky Universe.
While the Qi Gathering Stance couldn't enhance Qin Shuang's own physical strength, it allowed him to better control his body.
"As expected of the most widely circulated and adaptable cultivation stance."
After cultivating for only three hours, Qin Shuang felt a significant improvement in his body's control.
"As long as I cultivate according to this stance, I can continue to cultivate until the limit of the 'Qi Gathering Stance'."
"Let me think, how can I improve this Qi Gathering Stance?"
For the next period, Qin Shuang practiced the Qi Gathering Stance while contemplating how to increase its upper limit.
Perhaps, in his understanding of the Qi Gathering Stance, Qin Shuang currently couldn't compare to those who had practiced it since childhood in the Starry Sky Universe.
However, Qin Shuang was the son of Misty Heavenly Venerate Qin Yu.
Before obtaining the "Star Transformation," his father Qin Yu cultivated the "Sky-Piercing Three Diagrams" and the "Ancestral Dragon Art." Furthermore, in the Immortal Fiend Demon Realm, he obtained the "Nine Revolutions Dark Gold Body," all of which were extremely powerful body-cultivation techniques in the Lin Meng Universe.
Although Qin Shuang had not cultivated these techniques, he could still remember their contents.
...
"Good, good..."
In the library of Zhang Family Town, the amiable Old Man Luo nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.
This little fellow had finally started to explore the path of Body Cultivation.
Then, what surprises should he prepare for Qin Shuang?
After thinking, Luo Yi took out a blank notebook and began to write and draw on it.
"The great universe of heaven and earth, the small universe of the human body..."
"The human body contains infinite mysteries. I observe it, there is the wheel of life, the four limbs and four poles, the essence of the five organs, the great dragon of the spine..."
Luo Yi wrote very seriously.
On it were his perceptions of the body, as well as some theories he had found reasonable from his past life's memories...
If Luo Yi were given enough time, he was confident he could derive these cultivation techniques himself.
However, what was the point of working hard himself when he had a tool?
The role of the Heavenly Dao was to guide people to explore the unknown and maintain a spirit of dedication.
If he did everything, what would the people in this world be? Parasites?
Soon, under Luo Yi's arrangement, several books appeared in the libraries of all the planets in the Starry Sky Universe.
Some people glanced at these books and discarded them.
Others treated them like treasures, overjoyed.
In this situation, a branch of cultivation quietly emerged in the Starry Sky Universe.
Body cultivators who forge their physiques do not comprehend laws, hence their cultivation activities are not significant.
Meanwhile, Roy constantly monitored the world, meticulously recording the training methods of these body cultivators in his notes, updating them in real-time across the entire Starry Sky Universe.
And so, during a time when no one was paying attention, a group of people slowly rose to prominence within the Starry Sky Universe.
...
"Boom!"
In a wilderness mountain, Qin Shuang stood on one leg, his entire being like a mountain, as steadfast as the earth when still, and like thunder when in motion.
During this period, Qin Shuang had combined the Sky-Piercing Three Diagrams, the Ancestral Dragon Art, and the Qi Gathering Stance, along with some materials from the library, to create his own body-forging posture.
This was a cultivation posture capable of complete self-control, nurturing the body's blood energy, and then using that blood energy to temper the entire body.
This posture could build upon the Qi Gathering Stance, breaking through the insurmountable barrier to Level 7.
Qin Shuang had no doubt about this.
His body, after all, possessed a physique comparable to Level 9 powerhouses in the Starry Sky Universe, and under this posture, he could feel his physical capabilities rapidly improving.
Not only that, but his control over his blood energy was also becoming increasingly refined.
...
Fortunately, the rain stopped, and the reservoir didn't break.
