Chapter 6, Six-Layered Hunyuan Force

He suddenly recalled the wondrous state he experienced at the moment of delivering that most powerful strike, yet when he began to reminisce, he found himself unable to grasp the essence of it. It seemed that such a state had completely vanished with the passing of the crisis

In the hearts of all the cultivators in Hejia Village, this courtyard is regarded as their sacred place, for it is the library of Hejia Village

He unexpectedly broke through to the fifth level of the Hunyuan Force without even realizing it

A fox bear's skin, gallbladder, bear paw, and even its meat and bones are all exceptionally rare and valuable items. If sold, the proceeds would be enough to make He Yiming wake up smiling in his dreams.

As for He Yiming's father, He Quanming, and his third uncle, He Quanyi, they respectively manage the business of the shops in the city and the trivial matters of the estate. In terms of personal cultivation, He Quanming and He Quanyi have spent several decades and have reached the peak of the eighth level of internal strength. In contrast, the eldest brother, He Quanxin, has no external distractions, allowing him to attain the ninth level, just one step away from the tenth level of the estate owner, He Wude.

The speed is so astonishing that it is absolutely impossible to associate it with its massive body

The two-meter-tall fox bear opened its large mouth and also raised its bear paw, resembling a fan, to strike.

If it were not for the decisions of the elders and the sincere efforts of Third Brother, he would absolutely not have changed his remaining practices

He Quan was taken aback, and his gaze towards He Yiming gradually underwent a new change

He Yiming hurriedly said respectfully: "Uncle, your disciple has come to pay his respects to you."

The self-healing properties of the water system techniques are remarkably evident. By the time He Yiming returned to Hejia Village at the foot of the mountain, his hands were completely restored, showing no signs of previous injuries.

He Yiming was astonished; the water-based cultivation method had such remarkable benefits. What level, then, would the wood-based cultivation method, reputed to be the best healing technique in the world, reach? If given the opportunity, he would certainly want to give it a try

He Yiming understood that the reason he could determine the direction in which the fox bear had hidden was not due to his eyesight or experience, but rather a vague sense of insight in that mysterious environment. This insight seemed extremely useful for combat, but unfortunately, he could not grasp even the slightest clue and did not know if he would be able to enter that state again in the future

The speed of this palm strike was extremely slow; even an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts could easily evade it. However, He Yiming straightened his chest and similarly extended a hand, meeting it head-on in a flat manner

A strange light flashed in He Quanxin's eyes, and a hint of satisfaction finally appeared on his face. He suddenly burst into hearty laughter and said, "Good, Yiming, today is the middle of the month, come with me to see Father."

He has deeply engraved the internal energy operation route of the sixth level into his very bones, embodying a kind of profound stubbornness, as well as a persistence that refuses to give up until reaching the Yellow River, and remains unyielding even after arriving at the Yellow River

After lightening his footsteps, He Yiming stepped into the courtyard

He leaped up without a moment's hesitation, turning in mid-air. With one hand suddenly striking out, all the internal energy within him surged to its peak at that moment, propelling his spirit and vitality to the utmost pinnacle.

The young nephew has come for the martial arts manual" He Yiming said as calmly as possible, yet there was an inexplicable excitement in his voice

After hesitating for a moment and glancing at the sky, He Yiming did not linger here any longer, but quickly made his way down the mountain along the path back.

He Quanxin's palm is far less thick and large than that of the fox bear, yet in He Yiming's eyes, this palm is far more terrifying than the bear's paw

This is the first martial art that He Yiming encountered after beginning to practice the internal energy secret technique, and it is also the internal energy practice that he diligently cultivated for a full eight years prior to yesterday

This is indeed the Hunyuan Force, a technique he has dedicated eight years to mastering. His feelings towards this set of skills are certainly not comparable to merely practicing the Ripple Technique for one night

He gazed at the disheveled thicket stretching far into the distance, wondering where that detestable yet pitiable fox bear had scurried off to long ago

As soon as He Quan finished speaking, he struck a flat palm directly at his chest

He Quan asked in surprise: "Then what brings you here?"

At this moment, even if that fox bear had not escaped, He Yiming had lost interest in continuing to entangle with it.

In an instant, He Yiming immediately understood that the Hunyuan Force he was using was not at the fifth level, but rather a metal-based technique that completely possessed the power of the sixth level

The enormous body of the fox bear was thrown into the air by a powerful force, tumbling awkwardly before crashing into a thicket of bushes, losing quite a bit of its fur in the process. However, as soon as this fox bear hit the ground, it quickly sprang back to its feet and fled desperately in the direction opposite to He Yiming.

Eight years of hard practice, four years of concern, have unexpectedly culminated at this very moment

He Yiming's lips moved, and he felt deeply grateful in his heart. He lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle"

In stark contrast to the earlier silent struggle, this time it erupted with a tremendous noise

The three brothers of the He family's second generation share a very close relationship. Although there are some minor frictions among the three generations, these are merely the result of competition between them. Therefore, all the younger generations hold a deep respect and reverence for these three elders

When he returned to the manor, the sun was already setting in the west. He pondered for a moment and then walked directly towards the backyard. After turning a few corners, he arrived at a courtyard entirely constructed of redwood.

At the moment he struck out with that palm, the primordial energy within him had already reached its limit, and the power of the sixth level of the metal attribute technique was fully unleashed at that instant. Even when he was battling the fox bear on the mountain, his internal energy did not seem to reach this level of exertion.

Gently, the two palms came together, and He Yiming's six layers of internal energy poured out without reservation. However, in his perception, his uncle's palm felt like an endless abyss; no matter how powerful his internal energy was, it could never be filled.

In this library, there are not only various cultivation techniques collected by the He family village, but also a variety of martial arts manuals. Among the third generation disciples, if someone can cultivate to the sixth level of internal energy, they will be qualified to enter here and select the martial arts manuals they wish to study

He Quan glanced at his little nephew and sighed inwardly, saying: "Yiming, you want to come in and select the internal strength manuals, right? I have already discussed this with my second and third brothers, and I have selected three books that are very likely to be suitable for your cultivation"

After He Yiming had an unexpected encounter with the fox bear on the mountain, he immediately turned his attention to the martial arts manuals in the library. If he had already practiced the martial arts manuals, he would not have merely frightened the fox bear away; instead, he would have skinned it alive.

Hunyuan Jin, a primary focus of the metal element, emphasizes internal strength cultivation techniques

Uncle, in fact, Third Brother already provided the cultivation method of the Ripple Technique to my nephew yesterday, so I did not come today for the internal energy manual.

However, although he has achieved incredible accomplishments in the Ripple Technique, in comparison, the Hunyuan Force is the primary cultivation method that is intrinsically linked to him, inseparable from his very being

After a long time, He Yiming finally emerged from this state of ecstatic oblivion.

Bang ... ...

"Yiming, you have arrived." A powerful and resonant voice echoed from a side hall in the courtyard, followed by the opening of the door, as a robust middle-aged man strode out with the grace of a dragon and the might of a tiger

He Quan smiled amicably and said, "You are my nephew, so there is no need for thanks. However, I hope you can temporarily set aside your cultivation and take a good rest for a few days"

This person is He Quanxin, the eldest son of He Wude, who has always lived in seclusion within the library at home. All disciples wishing to enter the library must obtain his consent

That overwhelming surprise and sense of happiness completely engulfed He Yiming like a tidal wave; he truly tasted a feeling of having endured hardship and finally reaped the rewards, accompanied by an impulse to weep for joy

"Yiming, be careful"

In the blink of an eye, this fox bear had already ventured deep into the mountains, disappearing without a trace

When He Yiming's spirit entered a certain wondrous realm, the internal cultivation method immediately restored itself to the level of Hunyuan Jin from many years ago, and naturally ascended to the sixth layer. Everything unfolded as if it were a natural progression, without the slightest hindrance, as if He Yiming's Hunyuan Jin had originally been at the sixth layer.

At the moment he unleashed that unprecedentedly powerful strike, he realized that he was not employing the sixth level of the Ripple Technique, but rather the Primordial Energy he had cultivated for a full eight years.

He Yi Ming stood still, slowly retracting his palm, gazing in disbelief at his swollen arm. However, he seemed to feel no pain at all, his face displaying an expression of extreme surprise and excitement.

When He Yiming realized that the internal martial arts he practiced had suddenly changed, he inwardly exclaimed that it was bad. Although the Hunyuan Force is the most powerful offensive technique among the metal-based martial arts, the vast difference between the fifth and sixth levels made him lose confidence in injuring his opponent. However, in that fleeting moment, the fox bear had already been knocked away, and its desperate attempt to flee, along with its somewhat limping movements, indicated that it was definitely injured at that moment, and not lightly.

He Yiming was momentarily taken aback, but soon understood his uncle's intention. It seemed that he still believed that his inability to break through was due to psychological shadows.

In the last four years, He Yiming had countless thoughts about breaking through the fifth level limit and advancing to the sixth level.

He, He Yiming, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been half-closed. A beam of light shot from his eyes, shining as if it could penetrate the heavens and the earth.

A fierce cry suddenly erupted in the direction he was advancing, yet within that cry lay a trace of fear and timidity

His movements were extremely swift, and as he ran, the ripples of the water system flowed slowly over his arms.
