It was early in the morning, well before the break of dawn, when four people were hauled up and medicinal pills pushed into their mouths. Then, their divine senses, dantian, and six sensory senses were sealed under Dong Qitian’s orders before all four of them were told to jog in circles, carrying three hundred catties of weight.

The feeling was a first for everyone, Yun Yang included.

Shutting off the six senses, deific consciousness and dantian meant that they could not see, smell, and hear. All their senses were lost… It was an unusual experience.

The four of them ran until they were nearly out of breath before Dong Qitian stopped the morning exercise. It was only a brief pause before tied protective gear weighing hundreds of catties on their arms and calves. They then began training bare-handed punch forms, swordsmans.h.i.+p, saber skill, stances, and techniques…

Each jab and each kick had to utilize one’s full-body strength to ensure its accuracy and completeness. As for their break, it was simple – a short break could be achieved when they pa.s.sed out from training. Yes, the break was short because Dong Qitian would wake whoever fainted up and give him no more than a quarter of an hour’s rest before they were to continue!

Yun Yang no longer cared how many times the rest of his companions had fainted from training. He only knew that he kept training, kept practicing… and he seemed to have pa.s.sed out seven or eight times by now.

After two more times of pa.s.sing out… his dantian twitched. Dong Qitian unsealed his dantian but his six senses remained blocked.

“Begin cultivating now. Cultivate your mystical Qi cultivation method fully through your body and churn your mystical Qi at the highest speed you possibly can!”

“Allow your dantian to reach an expanded state the fastest you can. Then, with your all might, attack. Release the entirety of your mystical Qi in one go!”

“Your mystical Qi and dantian must be thoroughly depleted after your attack is unleashed.”

…

Right in front of the four men, where they could not see, stood Dong Qitian himself. He was the sole target of the four attacks.

Dong Qitian deflected each strike effortlessly and evaluated the men’s capability in his mind respectively. There were compliments and critics, both direct and to the point, but the outcome still surprised him.

Based on Dong Qitian’s cultivation base, Yun Yang and the other three men’s standard were plain for him to see. He was able to examine their level accurately and their performance was similar to his initial evaluation and expectations.

Among the quartet, Yun Yang was still the weakest in mystical Qi cultivation base, despite having also reached the Saint level. This was expected of him but as the high intensity training went on for the first day, Yun Yang had only fainted thrice when the other three men had already pa.s.sed out ten times and began recovering their mystical Qi. Additionally, when they had to unleash as much as they could of their mystical Qi, the mystical Qi in Yun Yang’s dantian was depleted the most thoroughly among the group, upon completing the attack.

It was undeniable that Yun Yang was the most successful among them and far ahead of his peers, judging by the cultivation strength and result.

‘So, this is the legendary vacant spiritual physique that no one’s seen before. How extraordinary!’

Dong Qitian praised inwardly, ‘s.h.i.+ Wuchen and the other two aren’t just averagely talented; all three of them could already be considered as exceptionally gifted. Still, Yun Yang’s prodigy was at least three times more resilient than theirs – and it’s only mere physical strength. The outcome will definitely be more shocking if the overall evaluation of deific consciousness, mystical Qi and others are taken into account as well…’

‘Speaking of which, the Demiurge-Flawed Ten are interesting. The Demiurge-Flawed and Earth-Bereaved forces that flow in these three people most probably have more than just that. However, such force is too extreme… The power that they release is nearly at the pinnacle of standards in every realm…’

‘It’s no wonder that their sects used them as whetstones. The level of their strength truly enables them to be a perfect whetstone.’

‘ Nonetheless, I know this because my cultivation base is far above theirs. I can comprehensively read the core level of their cultivation method and this can hardly be done if not by an extensively experienced master – especially lower level schools, it’s impossible for them to reach such cla.s.s. How did they determine these ten pieces of whetstone back then?’

‘There must be things I don’t know still – how interesting!’

‘Perhaps there were incidents I have no idea of throughout the thousands of years I was imprisoned…’

‘All four of them are pure gold – unrefined jade. Perfect to be developed.’

From feeling disdain in the beginning, Dong Qitian grew even more fascinated towards his task as the chief instructor now. He was even a little impatient to see what heights these young men would soar to after he trained them with such brutal methods.

Dong Qitian was very curious about this! Simultaneously, he also wondered how long the quad could endure his ruthless training because there was no comparison. No one knew who there was besides them and no one knew if the others were persevering still.

When all six senses were sealed, one was like a zombie!

‘Back when my master tested me with this method, I’ve only toughened up for three days! Then I needed a period of recovery time before I continued…’

‘After so many years of roaming the martial world, what I regret the most is nothing but persevering too short a time back then… that I couldn’t achieve the amazing accomplishments my master did…’

‘I wonder how long these young boys can take it. If they could last more than three days, their future will at least be parallel to mine…’

…

The first day pa.s.sed amidst the endless drillS and under Dong Qitian’s antic.i.p.ating gaze. When dawn came on the second day, the training resumed. There was neither rest nor sleep.

It was an endless cycle of drilling, depleting one’s physical strength and pa.s.sing out. Repeating it until the tenth time, they would recover their mystical Qi and cultivate to replenish it the quickest they could. Then, they would empty it by pus.h.i.+ng their limits and cultivation method to attack wholeheartedly.

The dantian would once more be sealed and the cycle continued…

Three days had pa.s.sed!

The four men who had gone through the three days of h.e.l.lish cultivation did not look too much like themselves anymore in Dong Qitian’s eyes, but none of them had given up. All four of them were still immersed in the repet.i.tion…

The fourth day came and went away… It was now the fifth day!

Dong Qitian looked increasingly shocked.

There seemed to be a sense of brute resilience that flowed within these four men – a stubbornness that could take training to their deaths and perseverance that pushed them to hard work and persistence for nothing but capability.

Just as the sixth day began, Kong Luoyue was the first to succ.u.mb after around two hours. Mist of blood sprayed from his body as he collapsed on the ground; even the spasms that ran through him looked weak.

Dong Qitian was well prepared, immediately sprinting forward to recover Kong Luoyue’s senses and heal him. He looked indifferent, but he was inwardly overwhelmed. This was the weakest one among the quad, but he had already persevered for twice the amount of time compared to his record back then!
