Chapter 112: Gathering Peaks, Furious Waves

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boom! Di Jiu swung a fist as he was standing outside the swamp. A giant rock at least three ters in circumference was turned to dust.

Di Jiu frowned, but did not continue. He had been swinging this fist for more than a month, yet he still felt that sothing was missing.

This subtle feeling was indeed strange. Although he seed to have attained a very powerful form in this fist, he still believed that his fist could be even more formidable and create an even stranger feeling.

He, Geng Ji and Little Tree had been cultivating underneath this swamp for more than a year. No one had co so far, except for a few swamp demon beasts, perhaps because they had run a significant distance away.

During the past year, Di Jiu had spent at most five months cultivating and perfecting the Qi Refinent realm. Ever since he had perfected the Qi Refinent realm, he had been unable to break through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, even though he had tried really hard.

Di Jiu had no other choice but to learn blacksmithing to refine a saber Dharma treasure that was suitable for him. The Dharma treasures of the others beca better and better, while his only got worse. Although he had a long saber in his hand, he still missed that kitchen knife.

Unfortunately, the progress of his blacksmithing skills was too slow to compare to his cultivation speed.

He had almost refined all the materials he had obtained, yet the improvent of his blacksmithing skills seed small. Perhaps this was because he had no true master to guide him, or because his fla was insufficient. After striving for more than half a year, he only managed to refine low-grade Dharma weapons.

Geng Ji, who was a cultivation maniac, would continue cultivating until Di Jiu stopped him.

Di Jiu was unable to attain the Foundation Establishnt Realm and he had no blacksmithing materials, so he could only cultivate the fist movent on that incomplete jade slip.

He had obtained the magic fist technique from the Qi Family’s Comrcial Building. Based on his usual learning speed, he should be able to learn the fist movent quickly.

The truth was that, even though he had learned it more than a month ago, he still felt that he had not grasped the essence of the movent.

The jade slip explained that this movent had sufficient power behind it, so when the fist landed, its aura would stop all the surrounding space. Di Jiu believed that this showed one’s control over combat space. The power behind his fist was good, but he still did not feel like he was controlling space when he swung his fist.

Di Jiu did not know how long he stood outside the swamp and tried to gain so insight. He suddenly ca back to reality when he sensed a deadly threat.

A massive two-tailed leopard pounced over extrely fast from more than 30 ters away. By the ti Di Jiu saw the leopard, it was already above him.

The powerful aura of the beast showed Di Jiu that this was definitely a level-two demon beast.

Di Jiu lifted his hand and punched out without hesitation.

He had practised this fist movent for more than a month, so punching out was practically an instinctive reaction.

Di Jiu only had one thought as he punched out: he had to kill the two-tailed leopard.

The space around him folded as he made that hasty fist movent. Although his fist punched out with no clear target, Di Jiu felt all his killing aura gather in his palm and control that spatial area.

His fist seed to create a gigantic mountain out of nowhere and punch it out along with Di Jiu’s fist aura.

Was this an inclination punch? Di Jiu felt pleased. This hasty fist movent contained what he had been searching for for more than a month.

Boom! The fist aura transford into an illusionary mountain peak that landed on the head of the two-tailed leopard. Sothing cracked as the two-tailed leopard fell from the sky like a deflated balloon.

Di Jiu, who was currently subrged into his fist intent, sensed that this movent did not end with the death of the leopard. Another mountain peak was punched out after the first one.

The second mountain peak seed to transform into boundless waves. Unfortunately, his fist aura had beco weak, so the waves took no form.

Di Jiu punched out once again without hesitation. The furious waves finally took shape and started flowing one after another. The aura was majestic and powerful.

Crack! Di Jiu’s fist aura created a ravine that was more than 30 ters long. Di Jiu only opened his eyes when he felt giddy.

He suddenly felt hot-blooded. Other people punched out with their fists, but he punched out by creating massive peaks. After sensing the fist aura, the massive peaks he punched out ca out one after another. This was only the beginning. So long as he had sufficient fist intent, furious roaring waves would co right behind these mountain peaks.

“Peaks gather and waves roar...”

Although this magic technique only involved one fist movent, Di Jiu was able to punch out a second ti and create furious waves.

From then on, the first fist movent would be called Gathering Peaks, and the second fist movent would be called Furious Waves.

These two fist moves were more formidable than his few saber moves. Di Jiu believed that he had yet to grasp the essence of these two movents, which should contain an even more profound intent. However, his cultivation level was too low, so he could only sense a ager amount of this fist intent.

As Zhang Yanghao’s 1 song said, “Gathering peaks and furious waves, the Tongguan 2 Road is situated at the foot of a mountain beside a river 3 . As I look to the West at the faraway ancient capital of Chang’an, my heart is filled with thoughts and doubts.”

Zhang Yanghao ant that when he looked at the historical ruins of the Qing and Han Dynasties along his journey, he had mixed sorrowful feelings. The Wanjian Palace 1 had been buried in soil. Whenever the dynasty had been prospering, the commoners had been suffering; whenever the dynasty had been dying, the commoners had been suffering even more.

The fist intent of the two movents instead ant that gathering peaks and furious waves engulfed the space within the fist. If one tried to defend themselves, they would die; if they tried to escape, they would die as well.

However, the two fist movents required too much energy. Although his spirits were still high, Di Jiu’s entire body felt weak.

He was certain that his fists had surpassed the incomplete jade slip and reached new heights. When soone faced his perfected fist moves one day, they would suffer the sa fate as the Wanjian Palace.

As that inexplicable feeling engulfed him, Di Jiu’s Galaxy Art started regulating on its own. The galaxy within him, which was transford from his ridian, beca clearer and created a majestic, boundless feeling.

Crack! The layer that did not allow his cultivation to advance any further cracked like an egg shell.

Di Jiu’s aura soared rapidly. After this mont of enlightennt, he realized that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, which he had been trying to attain for several months.

He imdiately grabbed a pile of Spirit Stones and threw them aside without hesitation. anwhile, his aura continued to rise.

The Spirit Stones beside him kept cracking one after another. The Spirit Qi from the broken Spirit Stones rged with the Spirit Qi of the surrounding atmosphere and was absorbed by Di Jiu.

Di Jiu did not care whether this place was suitable or even safe for cultivation. He could clearly sense a new Law of Cultivation that provided guidance to his Qi Circulation thod now that he had attained the Foundation Establishnt Realm. Despite his ignorance, Di Jiu knew that he owed this to the gray stone in his Spiritual Sea, which had rged with his insight. Thus, he obtained the last part of the Galaxy Art cultivation technique.

Boom! As the Spirit Qi Di Jiu absorbed once again reached a limit, his cultivation level broke through to the first-stage Foundation Establishnt Realm and the second-stage Foundation Establishnt Realm.

By the ti Di Jiu returned to reality, the Spirit Stones beside him had transford into powder.

Di Jiu roared before pulling the long saber out and swinging it.

The ravine created by his two punches deepened further as a result.

“Have you perfected your saber moves, Brother Jiu?” Geng Ji and Little Tree rushed out of the swamp when they heard Di Jiu’s roar.

“It’s not my saber moves that I perfected, it is...” Di Jiu was about to express his joy, when he saw Geng Ji’s cultivation level. He imdiately said in pleasant surprise, “Geng Ji! Have you successfully attained the Foundation Establishnt Realm as well?”

“That’s right, Brother Jiu!” Geng Ji said excitedly. “I have already attained and perfected the Qi Refinent Realm. However, the Galaxy Art does not include any cultivation techniques for the Foundation Establishnt Realm, so I could not attain it, no matter what thods I used. Just as I was thinking whether I should leave in search of the Foundation Establishnt Elixir, I suddenly sensed a Foundation Establishnt Law. Thanks to this Law, the circulation of my Galaxy Art beca more pronounced and the galaxy within beca more solid. That was how I successfully attained the Foundation Establishnt Realm.”

“Did you gain any insight on how to complete a Qi Circulation after attaining the Foundation Establishnt Realm?” asked Di Jiu.

Geng Ji nodded his head. “I was about to tell you, Brother Jiu. I used the succeeding Qi Channeling thod, which is completely different from the Qi Refinent Realm...”

Geng Ji explained his Qi Channeling thod to Di Jiu, who was very impressed. Both of them cultivated using the Galaxy Art. A galaxy was ford within Geng Ji while he was cultivating, so he would absorb the Spirit Qi through this galaxy. anwhile, a galaxy was ford within Di Jiu while he was cultivating, so he would absorb the Spirit Qi through this galaxy as well.

Both he and Geng Ji had successfully attained the Foundation Establishnt Realm despite not possessing any Foundation Establishnt cultivation techniques. They had obtained a new Foundation Establishnt cultivation technique as a result of the galaxy or galaxy within them. However, their cultivation techniques were completely different.

Di Jiu was certain that the reason Geng Ji’s galaxy could produce a Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivation technique was related to his gray stone.

How could the gray stone with the golden light defy the heavens?

“Look at my Thunder Sword, Brother Jiu,” Geng Ji said as he made so hand seals.

Several Thunder Swords landed on the ravine Di Jiu’s attack had created. Thunder sparks flew everywhere, creating more than 10 deep marks around the ravine.

Little Tree was kind of unhappy. Although it had advanced and joined the ranks of level-two demon beasts, the only attacking technique it could use was still binding soone and absorbing their blood.

“Brother Jiu, I believe that I will be able to advance to the next cultivation level very soon. Why don’t we keep cultivating a little longer?” Geng Ji, who sensed that Di Jiu was thinking of leaving, believed that he could attain the second-stage Foundation Establishnt Realm if he was given a few more days.

“We should not stay here. Our cultivation path does not involve entering reclusive cultivation every day. There’s no point in purely increasing our cultivation level. We need to increase our cultivation through trial. That way, we could reap more benefits,” said Di Jiu as he patted Geng Ji.

While he had been practising the fist movent for a month, he had managed to gain insight on the first fist move, which was called Gathering Peaks, and the second fist move, which was called Furious Waves. Then, he had broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, which was a much better result than his results after going into seclusion for six months.
