"Indeed. Are they still holding grudges over trivial matters? They really are a bunch of unambitious fellows. I doubt they will make any progress," Duanmu Changying waved her hand, as if to make those issues disappear. Then she said to Guan Yue, "Grandson, let's leave this Rou'er here. You can leave a few drops of your blood, and I will take care of her. When you establish your own family, you can take her with you."
Guan Yue thought this was a good idea. Duanmu Changying then instructed him, "Grandson, take some time to look over the techniques that the six of them gave you a few days ago. You can start practicing the Magical Technique, Delicate Sword Technique, Dragon Barbarian Technique, and my Wuji Battle Technique; they will definitely be helpful for you. As for the other techniques, just take a look. Practice what you can, and wait on what you cannot."
Duanmu Changying spoke at length, allowing Guan Yue to feel her deep concern, which touched him even more.
Finally, she reminded Guan Yue, "Tomorrow, the Seven Elders of our forbidden zone will jointly help you with body tempering. This is our highest form of gratitude towards you. Even if you do not obtain a better physical inheritance in the future, your physique will not be much worse than others. Make sure to seize this opportunity well. The specific results will depend on your own ability to absorb it." At that moment, her expression was very serious, and Guan Yue realized that the assistance from the Seven Elders would be crucial for his growth!
The next day, the seven elders of the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone appeared together in Paradise.
This time, Guan Yue took a serious look at the seven elders. Aside from Duanmu Changying and the scarred Wang elder, every other elder had a joyful expression. The most discussed topic among them was striving for the status of Divine Forbidden Land. Their Afu Mi Forbidden Zone was a Holy Forbidden Land—sacred and inviolable—but being recognized as a Divine Forbidden Land would bring even more benefits, including having an affiliated Holy Forbidden Land as one of its privileges. Therefore, after elevating their realms, their greatest wish was naturally to enhance the status of their forbidden zone.
Moreover, Duanmu Changying proudly told Guan Yue that each of the Seven Elders practiced different techniques that fully met the requirements of the Seven Channels. This was also a very important feature of their forbidden zone. Once they all became Great Powers, they could transform the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone into a Seven Channels forbidden zone and become an eternal presence in the world.
"Grandma Duanmu, what is your cultivation level?"
Duanmu Changying replied proudly, "I am now in the Eternal Realm; they are all in the Eternal Realm or Wonderland. However, in the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone, ordinary Eternal Realm or Wonderland practitioners are no match for them."
At this moment, Guan Yue noticed several teenagers hiding among the clouds around them; their gazes were fixed on him. They were envious—what kind of kid could summon all Seven Elders for body tempering!?
Among them were Dongfang Yu, disciple of the Second Elder; Yin Dongnan, disciple of Elder Five; and Miao Fang, female disciple of the Sixth Elder. These three could be considered outstanding talents of the younger generation in Afu Mi Forbidden Zone; they were also among those who had once hunted Guan Yue down. They had never enjoyed the treatment of being tempered by all Seven Elders together. Thus, there was a hint of envy and jealousy in their eyes at that moment!
Seeing that Guan Yue had noticed the other disciples' presence, Duanmu Changying said to him, "Grandson, where there are people, there are conflicts. You must understand this point. Only by being fearless can one achieve victory and remain undefeated."
Guan Yue understood Grandma Duanmu's meaning because she herself was an unyielding strong person. He nodded seriously to show that he understood!
"Who is this wild kid? Why are all seven elders willing to temper his body? What is this kid's background?" Dongfang Yu asked Miao Fang angrily with a face full of rage at around thirty years old.
"I’m not sure either, I just heard Na Dong and Na Xi, those two silly girls, say that Duanmu Fairy has already recognized him as her god-grandson. It seems his body is quite special," Miao Fang said. Miao Fang looked to be around twenty years old, with a stunningly beautiful face and a very voluptuous figure that drew men's attention even without movement; her bosom swayed enticingly. However, her expression was very serious, and the strong Vital Energy Fluctuation surrounding her made men hesitant to approach.
"God-grandson? What does that mean? Why don’t they recognize us?" Yin Dongnan asked. Dongfang Yu sneered, "It's because they look down on us. Besides, the generation gap doesn’t match. By the way, do you think all the elders have recently advanced a major realm because of this wild kid?" His eyes were fixated on Miao Fang's ample bosom.
Yin Dongnan chuckled, "Does he really have that much power? If so, why would the elders need to train their bodies for him?"
Miao Fang pondered, "If it’s unrelated, then there’s no major event worth making a fuss over recently. It’s very likely due to his bloodline. How about this: Yin Shixiong, you follow this kid and see what his background is so we can decide on our methods and strategies."
"What? Planning to deal with him?" Yin Dongnan showed interest; he was often used by Miao Fang and Dongfang Yu.
"Let’s not put it so harshly. Our Forbidden Land's Duanmu has a new god-grandson; shouldn’t we care a bit?" Dongfang Yu explained to Yin Dongnan. His eyes still occasionally lingered on Miao Fang's curves; he couldn’t help but think about her.
"You need to clarify the bottom line; only then can I follow," Yin Dongnan asked again.
"Brother, we won’t let him have it easy, understand? That’s the bottom line," Miao Fang instructed.
"Oh, harassing him? That’s my specialty," Yin Dongnan replied excitedly as a scar on his left temple gleamed.
"It’s not just simple harassment; we need to act when necessary. It’s important for him to understand the difference between priority and triviality. Otherwise, if he keeps coming to our Forbidden Land, it will become quite bothersome for us. Who knows, the Five Great Refining Pools might end up even further away from us," Dongfang Yu coldly added, surprising Miao Fang into silence. She didn’t dare think about the Five Great Refining Pools; she only wanted to teach Guan Yue a lesson.
"Alright then, let’s cripple him so he can’t return," Yin Dongnan immediately agreed but then showed hesitation: "Dongfang Shixiong, this kid is tough; I might find it hard to deal with him."
"What are you afraid of? At worst, we’ll take one or two treasures from the Forbidden Land. As long as we find his lair, we’ll have ways to handle him. If his bloodline is truly useful, wouldn’t that benefit the three of us? Haha," Dongfang Yu laughed coldly. He then told Miao Fang and Yin Dongnan, "You two should also probe your masters’ opinions; is it because of that kid's bloodline that all Seven Elders broke through? We must find out clearly."
Miao Fang and Yin Dongnan nodded seriously.
Miao Fang frowned but did not express any opposition. She was quite uncomfortable with Dongfang Yu's lecherous gaze and shifted slightly away from him. Upon noticing this, Dongfang Yu sneered slightly; his expression darkened as he looked at Miao Fang. He thought to himself: "I see you as fortunate; don’t think your master is powerful—you're still destined to be my subordinate in the future."
The body refinement initiated by Guan Yue has finally begun.
Guan Yue was supported by a thick Origin Energy, hovering about two meters above the ground, with all his clothes already stripped away, leaving only a short pair of pants. Na Dong and Na Xi stood on either side of Guan Yue, each holding a massive bronze mirror.
First, the seven individuals took turns applying their Essence power to the two large mirrors in the order of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder. No, some of them were using Primordial Infant Power. This was because both the Eternal Realm and the Eternal Realm had already seen the emergence of Primordial Infants, while Wonderland had no Primordial Infants, only Essence.
As the pressure they emitted reflected off the mirrors and enveloped Guan Yue's entire body, it felt as if countless ants were gnawing at him, causing unbearable pain. However, he understood that this was a more thorough cleansing of his body based on the foundation he had already established through bone refining and marrow washing. This was a significant transcendence that would fundamentally change his physical constitution. Moreover, it was a completion that made the other elders' disciples in the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone exceptionally envious.
Guan Yue was very clear that after this body refinement, practicing the Wuji Battle Technique given to him by Duanmu Changying and the Dragon Barbarian Technique from the elder with the Wang surname would yield even greater results with less effort.
Enduring indescribable discomfort and pain throughout his body, Guan Yue felt pain everywhere; it was an excruciating sensation that words could hardly describe. He bit his lip tightly to resist the overwhelming agony.
One elder after another took turns channeling their power into him. Amidst the pain, he surprisingly discovered their different effects. He thought that these differences might help him in his cultivation and future battles, so he began to focus on experiencing them deeply.
Elder Wang's power was particularly fierce, reaching deep into his Inner Strength network. Guan Yue knew this must be the strength of a Warrior, specifically earth's Willpower, as earth's Willpower represents foundation and roots. Indeed, after Elder Wang's influence, Guan Yue felt a surge of Inner Strength rising continuously; every muscle in his body pulsed along with it, creating waves of Inner Strength that surged higher and higher.
The Second Elder's power targeted his bones; her technique was gentler. The sustained strong force likely represented metal's Willpower, transforming his bones while also making his Inner Strength more vigorous.
Elder Five directed his power at his Palace Sea; his technique was more aggressive. The violent and wild force should represent fire's Willpower. While transforming the Palace Sea, it also made his Inner Strength more ferocious.
The Sixth Elder was a woman whose power primarily targeted her mind. Her technique was softer; her fluctuating strength resembled waves and tides and should represent Water's Will. While promoting the expansion of his Blood Sea, it also made his Origin Energy surge even more violently.
