Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"There's another option—fusion!"

"Three types of Sacred Bodies can be fused into one, becoming a single Sacred Body that simultaneously holds the powers of all three."

Lu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.

He remembered that when he encountered Fire Cloud Venerable of the Pot Immortal Sect, the latter had sought to fuse multiple Sacred Bodies into one, intending to step into the Martial Saint Realm.

However, fusing Sacred Bodies is extremely challenging!

One must simultaneously begin forging three Sacred Bodies and then attempt to completely meld them into one.

This requires repeated attempts.

After all, conflicts are inevitable among the Sacred Bodies.

"In other words, if I want to fuse these three Sacred Bodies, I must prepare the materials for all three and forge them simultaneously."

"Whether the forging succeeds depends entirely on repeated attempts. Adjustments must be made gradually based on one's own circumstances to finally find a balance point that allows the fusion of the three Sacred Bodies."

"Moreover, if even one type of Sacred Body lacks sufficient materials, or if any materials are missing, the fused Sacred Body cannot be successfully forged."

Related scenarios about forging Sacred Bodies flashed through Lu Changsheng's mind.

It was truly difficult.

If creating a single Sacred Body requires several or a dozen types of materials, then a determined effort might manage it.

But three Sacred Bodies would require dozens of types of materials.

And the quantities would be immense—with no room for error.

Even the smallest material shortage would prevent the Sacred Body from being successfully forged.

Fusing Sacred Bodies undoubtedly adds yet another layer of difficulty to an already challenging process.

Forging a single Sacred Body is hard enough.

Fusion exponentially increases the difficulty.

For this reason, although everyone knows fusion results in a better Sacred Body, only a very few have the courage to execute it.

Only martial artists with absolute self-confidence might dare to choose this path.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng had unwavering confidence in himself.

He firmly believed that with his comprehension, through persistent attempts, he could surely find the balance point among the three Sacred Bodies, and successfully fuse them.

"It's decided then."

"Fuse the three Sacred Bodies into one to achieve Martial Sainthood!"

A resolution had solidified in Lu Changsheng's heart.

There was no way he would give up on any of the three Sacred Bodies.

Besides, he had never been one to make compromises.

He wanted them all!

Thus, Lu Changsheng began studying the techniques for the three Sacred Bodies in his Cultivation Secret Room.

After several hours, he had thoroughly committed the techniques to memory.

Lu Changsheng then returned to Cave Mansion No. 1.

He spoke directly: "Artifact Spirit, I need the cultivation materials for the Mixed Cave Holy Body, Five-Colored Divine Light Sacred Body, and Ten Directions Holy Body."

As soon as Lu Changsheng's voice fell, the Artifact Spirit replied immediately: "Using the cultivation resources from Cave Mansion No. 1, the following materials can be obtained…"

The Artifact Spirit began listing a large number of cultivation materials.

Most of them covered the materials for the three Sacred Bodies.

However, the quantities were sparse.

Or rather, there was only a portion of what was needed.

And most critically, the three key materials necessary for forging the Sacred Bodies were not provided by the Martial Saint Mansion.

"The Martial Saint Mansion isn't a charity; it's impossible for them to provide all the materials needed to forge a Sacred Body."

"If they did, what would Martial Saints offer in return to the Mansion after achieving Sainthood?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

He understood the workings of the Martial Saint Mansion.

It was essentially an academy, entirely non-coercive.

Once a Martial Saint was achieved, they would leave the Mansion.

The Mansion would not impose on them.

Nor would it force affiliation with any organization.

Such a neutral Martial Saint Mansion held an esteemed and extraordinary position.

Simply providing some basic cultivation resources was already generous.

As for rare and valuable cultivation resources?

Those were absolutely off the table.

Furthermore, as the owner of Cave Mansion No. 1, Lu Changsheng had access to relatively abundant cultivation resources.

If it were Cave Mansion No. 2, No. 3, or lower-ranked Mansions, their resources would likely be even more limited.

"My purpose in coming to the Martial Saint Mansion was to find Sacred Bodies that complement my Divine Skills. Now that I've obtained the techniques for three Sacred Bodies, I've essentially achieved my goal."

"Being able to acquire some cultivation resources is already an unexpected bonus."

"The critical resources for forging Sacred Bodies will have to be obtained by my own efforts!"

Lu Changsheng had a crystal-clear understanding.

He couldn't go back to relying on Li Guang.

Even if Li Guang were willing, could the Li Family Commerce truly procure such rare Sacred Body forging materials?

It seemed highly unlikely.

Just look at Fire Cloud Venerable.

The Flame Palace was far more powerful than the Li Family Commerce.

Fire Cloud Venerable was considered one of the Palace's key protégés with full support.

And what was the outcome?

Even Fire Cloud Venerable had to negotiate with the Pot Immortal Sect and venture into Void Spirit Mountain for resources to forge Sacred Bodies.

"The three key resources—Void Demon Pearl, Innate Five Elements Essence, and Void Divine Crystal."

"Besides these three essential resources, additional bulk resources are required—but those can be purchased with Spirit Stones, provided one has enough. I'll need to stockpile plenty of Spirit Stones."

"However, these three cornerstone resources can't be bought with Spirit Stones; obtaining them will require ingenuity and effort."

Lu Changsheng assessed his current situation.

For now, the Void Demon Pearl seemed the easiest to acquire.

It would merely involve battling Void Demons.

Even the Void Demon King could be suppressed by Lu Changsheng's Spiritual Black Hole Divine Power.

The key issue was finding Void Demons.

He knew of large numbers of Void Demons in Void Spirit Mountain.

But Void Spirit Mountain was jointly sealed by the Immortal Sects.

It only opened once every ten years.
