If not for his special ability, it would be hard to imagine how long anyone could endure such an intense tempering process.

This must be why, although many people cultivated the Jade Kala Vajra Body, the number of those who succeeded could be counted on one hand.

And this was only the beginning.

To even reach the entry-level, one had to wait for the Dust to temper the physical body until it could fuse with it completely, achieving the Perfection of the first physical transformation. Only then was it considered a success.

Throughout the entire process, the longer one could endure, the better the tempering effect and the greater the intensity would be.

Consequently, the first physical transformation would also reach a more powerful state.

However, during this process, the pain would grow more unbearable with each passing moment.

But for Yang An, who had already eliminated the cost and felt no pain whatsoever...

...endurance didn’t seem to be much of a challenge.

Time passed, second by second.

One day... two days... three days...

Ten days... twenty days... thirty days...

Under the constant tempering of the Golden Dust, a full forty days passed.

The tempering effect of the Golden Dust on his physical body grew weaker and less noticeable.

By the forty-ninth day, the tempering effect had vanished completely, and Yang An finally let out a long sigh of relief.

The longest part was over. He wasn’t relieved because the process had been difficult, but simply because it had been excruciatingly boring.

He didn’t know how significant it was to have endured for a full forty-nine days.

But since the tempering effect was gone, he had clearly reached the limit of the refinement.

The next and final step was integration!

Once the Golden Dust integrated with his physical body and he achieved the first physical transformation...

...he would have successfully reached the entry-level, gaining a preliminary grasp of the Jade Kala Vajra Body.

The integration step wasn’t difficult. His body had already fully adapted to the presence of the Golden Dust, making the process remarkably smooth.

When the Dust had stained Yang An’s entire body gold, the integration was complete.

The physical transformation following the integration was uncontrollable.

Everyone’s constitution was different, so the physical transformation would shift toward the form best suited for unleashing their power perfectly.

As Yang An’s body turned completely golden, his frame began to swell slightly and his muscles grew gnarled and dense. Then, the physical transformation was complete.

This meant that the burly physique, now standing nearly two meters tall, was his first form after integrating with the Golden Dust.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

He clenched his fist, and a powerful cracking sound echoed from his knuckles.

Body Refining Techniques were different from ordinary Techniques. The power of a Technique grew with one’s Cultivation Level, but a Body Refining Technique could be considered an entirely separate path of cultivation.

The process of mastering a Body Refining Technique was incredibly arduous, but the rewards were often intoxicating.

With his true Cultivation Level at the Late Stage of Corpse Transformation, Yang An could easily feel the difference.

In his normal state, relying on his physical body’s comprehensive combat power alone, he could fight someone at the Visceral Stone realm.

But if he entered his first physical transformation—his current form—he should be able to fight someone at the Late Stage of Visceral Stone relying on his Physical Power alone, without using any Techniques or Magical Artifacts.

’Body Refining Techniques are truly formidable!’

’No wonder so many people on the Outer Continent, where one is suppressed by the Power of Rules, choose Body Refining Techniques and Light Techniques.’

He had only just completed one of the seven physical transformations of the Jade Kala Vajra Body, which was merely the entry-level, and he already possessed such combat strength.

’What would happen if I could complete all seven?’

Of course, Yang An wasn’t concerned with integrating these specks of Dust. He was focused on how to return to the basics and integrate with Light Magic itself.

’If just using Dust can achieve this, then how powerful would the Old Technique be if I integrated directly with Light Magic?’

Yang An was eager to find out!

He wanted to try right now!

He still had the materials for the Cultivation of the Jade Kala Vajra Body. Aside from the Golden Dust, Yang An had received more than one set of the other materials from the Buddha’s Hall of Destiny. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He planned to use the same method he used to integrate with the Dust to try integrating with the Magic Light. It just might work.

Acting on the thought, Yang An immediately returned his body to its normal state and took out the remaining Elixir Pills and materials.

Having done it once before, his second attempt was much smoother and more practiced.

The only difference from the first time was that as he absorbed the materials into his body, he felt no unusual sensations at all.

Even the burning sensation was gone. His body had no reaction whatsoever.

Nevertheless, Yang An continued with the process step by step, right up to the final one.

He once again activated the Great Brightness Buddha Golden Zen Spell, breaking it down before him into a ball of light that was, in reality, a mass of countless light particles.

Following the same method he used to absorb the Dust, he carefully drew the Magic Light into his body.

The moment the particles from the disassembled Magic Light entered his body, the familiar, searing heat returned, and Yang An’s body once again began to scorch.

’It’s working!’

Yang An was instantly energized.

Of course, to prevent any unforeseen accidents that might cause harm to his body...

...Yang An was ready to release the Concealment Seal at a moment’s notice to restore his body’s Immortality.

The temperature inside the Quiet Chamber began to rise once more.

Following the same procedure, he guided all of the Magic Light to every part of his physical body. Yang An then began using the Cultivation Method to make the particles vibrate rapidly.

Countless buzzing sounds, like a swarm of bees, once again filled his ears. His entire body began to turn red, and then it started to glow, growing brighter and brighter.

It was as if countless rays of light were about to burst forth from within his body.
