You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 291 - 57, Divine List

Three Thousand Hell Body.

This body refining technique was actually quite simple in principle. It was about using extreme pain to crush the physical body, forcing it to transform amidst suffering, supplemented by the earth element's intent of bearing and nurturing, leveraging a large amount of earth element spiritual items to make the physical body's foundation immeasurably thick like the earth itself, thereby surpassing the limits time and again.

In addition to body refinement, it also served to temper the Dao Heart.

However, such body refinement would cause astounding damage to the human body. Though the recovery power of the Barbarian God Body was decent, it couldn't withstand such injuries, so a large amount of recovery-type spiritual medicine was needed.

Each day, one could not cultivate for more than half an hour; thereafter, several days of recuperation were needed to recover. Otherwise, it might lead to damaged foundations or even bodily collapse.

Moreover, mental relaxation and relief were also required.

During body refinement, one was constantly tortured in boundless agony, each moment felt like enduring hellish punishment, extremely unbearable. This, of course, tempered the Dao Heart, but also created psychological shadows. If one succumbed to fear and dared not face this pain directly, it could lead to a decline in willpower.

Compared to the cost and damage of the ultimate killing skill, this was much greater.

However, Lin Yue had the Nine Death Selfless Divine Ability, which had a recovery power much stronger than many immortal pills, so the damage from the Three Thousand Hell Body was not much of an issue.

As long as his will could endure the boundless pain, and as long as the auxiliary spiritual objects were sufficient, he could continue cultivating indefinitely.

"But this is too painful! Is Xiahou Shou a lunatic? Creating such an abnormal cultivation technique..."

In the quiet cultivation chamber, Lin Yue trembled as he knelt on the floor, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his fingertips nearly pierced his palms, his teeth were truly grinding to pieces, and his body was soaked in sweat mixed with blood.

Yet the terrifying pain continued to grow stronger with time.

It was too painful!

He was sure that if it were most normal cultivators, unless their Dao Heart Will was particularly strong, even with the Nine Death Selfless Divine Ability, probably ninety percent would be unwilling to practice this cultivation method.

Because it was essentially punishment!

And the most tragic and painful kind at that!

For a cultivator with an average Dao Heart, once subjected to such torture, it wouldn't take long—just half an hour of torment—and they might confess everything.

No wonder this cultivation technique was called "Three Thousand Hell Body."

Three thousand was a numeral for infinity, representing the body forged through boundless hellish torment.

It truly felt like falling into hell.

"No wonder the Barbarian God Body is needed; its tolerance for pain is also very high..."

While resisting the pain with all his heart and soul, Lin Yue could only barely divert his attention to other matters to lessen the torment of pain.

If he could, he naturally wouldn't want to cultivate such an abnormal technique.

But he had no choice.

"Persist... persist... the longer I endure, the closer I get to the effect of the Barbarian God Body cultivating this technique..."

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and persisted, enduring not only the pain but also the itchiness brought by the rapid restoration of his body by the Nine Death Selfless Divine Ability, which was simply double torture!

Whenever he was about to falter, he forced himself to recall that thunderbolt tearing through the night sky, and his resolve would become firm again.

This was torture, but it was also a tempering of the Dao Heart.

The continuously increasing pain also brought a constantly transforming physical body. He consumed large amounts of earth element spiritual items and auxiliary spiritual medicine, always consuming them at a consistent pace.

Although none of it was particularly precious individually, the sheer amount was staggering.

Even a typical great cultivator would likely struggle to withstand the cost of such precious materials; this too was part of the price.

"Persist, as long as possible..."

...

A normal cultivator's first cultivation session, managing to persist for a quarter of an hour, would already show considerable willpower.

But Lin Yue on his first session lasted about two hours before he couldn't endure anymore and had to stop the technique.

However, after resting and recuperating for an hour, with his mental state somewhat recovered, he began cultivating the Three Thousand Hell Body once again.

Compared to others, he didn't need to worry about his body being unable to withstand this, and since the Duke Heng's estate continuously provided all sorts of cultivation resources, he lacked no spiritual objects for cultivation. All he needed to do was endure the pain, and such a good opportunity shouldn't be missed.

Day by day passed.

When his mind needed relaxation and relief, Lin Yue practiced martial arts and reviewed documents.

Then he immersed himself once more in the boundless agony to temper himself.

In the blink of an eye, eighteen days had passed.

On the twelfth of April.

"I succeeded..."

Lin Yue slowly stood up from the wet ground, looking somewhat dazedly at his hands.

Just earlier, he felt a sudden easing in the pain he was enduring.

This meant that the "Three Thousand Hell Body" technique had been successfully cultivated.

After all, pain couldn't continue to increase indefinitely; there must be an end. Once cultivation reached perfection, the resistance to pain greatly increased, and it could no longer continue to escalate.

"I wonder how the effect of my cultivation compares to Xiahou Shou's?"

Lin Yue pondered to himself, "I don't need time to ease; each time I endure pain to the mental limit, the tempering effect is much higher than Xiahou Shou's. I should achieve about fifty percent of his effect..."

He tried throwing a punch and instantly an astonishing sound comparable to tearing air erupted, the airflow turned into a whirlwind that blasted the barrier within the chamber, causing it to ripple.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yue immediately sensed that something was off.

After practicing the Martial Arts Divine Skill, his control over force was extremely precise, but the power unleashed by this punch caught him by surprise.

He immediately took out a heavy stone used specifically for testing strength to measure the change before and after cultivation.
