On the jade bench in the Yuxu Palace, Wang Bugui was having a herbal bath with his eyes closed. The herbal liquid exuded a crystal purple glow, which was the essence of Purple Waterfall. There were dozens of millennium-old herbs and several strange medicines. This time, Yun Jinghong had taken out everything he can, almost half of the elixirs in stock. After all, this was the second time that Wang Bugui had tempered his body, during which, he had to experience soul tempering as well.

There should be no sloppiness. Cooperating with the ancient prescript, those elixirs’ effect would be strengthened, which caused the flowers and plants at this jade bench to grow madly firstly, then wither, and lastly re-born. Even the aura was so dense that from time to time there would be purple liquid dripping down from the air. The pendant also awakened spontaneously, helping Wang Bugui absorb the natural aura to repair and temper himself.

“It’s time to temper myself!”

After an hour, Yun Jinghong took out the herbal liquid made from the Universe Spirit Blood Ginseng and the pellet made from the essence of the blood ginseng, and helped Wang Bugui eat them both. Then he gestured to help accelerate the medical effect. Suddenly, plenty of prana blood burst out from Wang Bugui’s body.

After absorbing this pure drug power, Wang Bugui’s strength had skyrocketed. When he infected his Aura Sea, he found that it had already been 12.5% filled. The waste blood and broken bones inside Wang Bugui were all discharged, replaced with more powerful blood and more crystal and strong bones.

His body bloomed with a faint red-golden radiance, like a god, which demonstrated how powerful his body was. In this case, in addition to anti-armor ones, no weapons could hurt him anymore.

“Dreamy Fairy Grass, a dream of fairy souls!”

Yun Jinghong made a sigh and smacked the Dreamy Fairy Grass into Wang Bugui’s mouth. Then, he mobilized his Innate Prana Power to help Wang Bugui swallow it. He even gave Wang Bugui some his own prana power, to melt it with the fairy grass in Wang Bugui’s body.

The fairy grass gradually took work, and Wang Bugui’s forehead began to bloom with golden light. His primordial spirit was now swimming in his dream. He saw a fairyland in which auspicious beasts were flying in the air and fairy flowers were everywhere. In front of a beautiful pool, there were two words: Jade Lake. It was surrounded by various immortals who were enjoying the peaches and drinking the fairy nectar.

Wang Bugui slowly walked among them. It seemed that all the immortals and the beasts could not see him. Along with the continual fairy songs, several beautiful immortal fairies were dancing. Then he dreamed of several different spaces, including the thirty-three Buddha world, the residence of the three heavenly emperors, and the primitive wilderness divine realm.

Those worlds contained the truth of Taoism. There were even immortals and gods to discuss Taoism together. After listening to them, Wang Bugui got a deep understanding of Taoism. Everything he experienced in his dream was not like a dream to him, but like reality. In fact, that was the magical effect of the Dreamy Fairy Grass, to grow the user’s primordial spirits in their dreams to understand Taoism.

Three days later, Wang Bugui woke up. But he felt like three years had passed, which was amazing.

“Eh, ah!”

Stretching himself and taking a long breath, Wang Bugui was full of spirit and energy after waking up. He felt that his body contained incomparably powerful strength, and that he was much stronger than himself a few days ago. He could clearly hear that his prana blood in his Aura Sea was rolling and rumbling. What’s more, he even felt that his soul had been sublimated.

In great shock, he quickly closed his eyes to observe the soul of Hanae Chiou. Sure enough, her soul had been repaired a little bit, which demonstrated that the power of his primordial spirit had really been strengthened! Aware of that, he made a sincere smile. It would be not long to reborn Hanae Chiou, which was the best news for him who had lost everything.

“You are awake.” The voice of Yun Jinghong came from the main hall.

“Master!” Wang Bugui put on his clothes at once and rushed to the main hall.

Seeing that Wang Bugui was fine with more cultivation, Yun Jinghong finally relived and said, “Since you have passed the test of the spirit of the array, and acquired two grasses of the best treasure herbs to train your body, your cultivation base is already at the top in the world. And there is only one step left undone to reach my expectations for you.”

“Do I have to temper myself once more?” asked Wang Bugui, scratching his head.

“The cultivation base I built for you spans the three states of the Basing, the Introducing Prana Power, and the Prana Body. There was no one like that among the predecessors of our sect. They usually stopped building cultivation base in the Basing State, or the Introducing Prana Power State at most. But they all died when they were about to break through to be the Emperor or an immortal. I think that is the influence of this method. So, we are supposed to act differently from them. I’m going to build a fresh new cultivation base for you with three times of the Basing State!”

Yun Jinghong’s words were full of decisiveness. He had decided to put all his resources on Wang Bugui to bet that he would be an immortal in this life. If he won, their sect would exist forever in the world; if he failed, he would be a forever sinner of the sect for he perished the sect.

“I will not give up to your expectations, Master!” Wang Bugui expressed his determination, and then start cultivating. It was better to move than to say.

Wang Bugui was so active, but Yun Jinghong quickly took his hand, stopping him. “Wait. You can now cultivate the fourth limit, Acuity Limit. Let me pass the cultivating method to you. You have to cultivate it along with the Speed Limit.”

“Really? Can I? Please teach me now!” Wang Bugui turned to Yun Jinghong in excitement and placed his hands at Yun Jinghong’s waist, shaking it.

“Well, okay. Loosen your hands first. Then meditate, and keep your spirit and soul,” Yun Jinghong said and put his one hand on his head. While Wang Bugui, upon hearing these words, immediately sat down on the ground, and recited the Heart-purifying Mantra to purify his body and heart in the shortest time.

Yun Jinghong also sat behind him. He swayed his hands quickly, displaying a profound martial art. Suddenly, a light emerged and flashed into Wang Bugui’s forehead.

“It is indeed mysterious. And there seems to be a connection with the Speed Limit.” With brows knitted, Wang Bugui was concentrated on understanding the martial art.

“Those two martial arts do have similarities. They are a set of yang and yin. The Speed Limit is focused on the offensive, while the Acuity Limit the body move. They are inseparably interconnected with each other. When you achieve the Speed Limit, you are able to make lightning-fast offensive, a thousand hits in a flash; when you achieve the Acuity Limit, you are able to pass a thousand miles within a step. Agile and silent, you can roam in the nine heavens.”

The voice of Yun Jinghong echoed in the ear of Wang Bugui. The latter recalled the martial art of the Speed Limit in his mind, according to which, he began to cultivate the Acuity Limit. The Enraged Dragon Turns was the most common reversal step he resorted to on the cliff. It was also found in the Acuity Limit martial art. But different from the former, it was added with some new body moves to make it more flexible.

After a long time of deducting, he found that there was a new name for that martial art, Traveling Dragon Returns to Heaven. Resorting to it, one could change his position in a blink, and back to the original position lightly and agilely. Then Wang Bugui continued to study the martial art, and found that the moves in the Speed Limit that involved in steps could all be integrated with the Acuity Limit martial art.

“The two martial arts can be interoperable, but each has its own merits. Hard and soft; yin and yang. It is magical. Does that demonstrate that all the martial arts in the world are of one origin?” Wang Bugui was drunk in the learning of Taoism.

“So, don’t be obsessed with bitterness. Why do we have to suffer hardships to cultivate? Those real genius don’t need hardships. They just cultivated while mediating. With the pendant and your talent, to meditate more in your leisure time, and even during cultivation is the best choice for you.” Yun Jinghong smiled and explained.

“Yes, Master!” replied Wang Bugui seriously.

Yun Jinghong nodded, this disciple of his had been always faithful in keeping his words. Since Wang Bugui had promised him, he was relieved and left with satisfaction to avoid bothering.

Wang Bugui stood up and began to study while performing. The small pendant once again bloomed in blue, attracting the natural aura to help his cultivation. He closed his eyes, constantly changed moves, and entered a miraculous state again as the deduction accelerated.

The surrounding scenery disappeared quickly and once again he came to the ink world. However, this time, the land under his feet was a Tai Chi figure, and the tips of the two martial arts were printed on the sky. He, once more, took his body as the pen and the Taoism as ink to paint a picture of the Eight Diagram Tactics.

He was very fast and sometimes very light. Step by step, sometimes, he was like an ancient roc, breaking the heaven by shaking wings, and flying nine thousand miles high; sometimes, he was like wind and clouds, idling around. After the completion of the Eight Diagram Tactics picture, ancient spiritual beasts such as real dragons, fairy phoenix, and rocs were painted through the ink of Taoism.

Wang Bugui continually fought against them to deduce the martial arts of both the Speed Limit and the Acuity Limit. It took him another day. He was very reluctant to withdraw from this state, because the Taoism was so mysterious and profound that he even couldn’t figure out 10% of the martial art within this day.
