The upper part of the Vajra Sutra is divided into four realms.
Body Tempering, Form Forging, Body Casting, and Realm Breaking.
After cultivating to the first realm, given the current level of weaponry, ordinary swords, spears, staffs, and even firearms like guns, would be unable to penetrate the body.
Upon reaching Form Forging, the physical body's strength would greatly increase, making one immune to fire and water, and impervious to all poisons.
Cultivating to Body Casting would truly grant an invincible golden body. Even modern cannons and grenades would be incapable of breaking through its defenses.
To breach a body at the Body Casting realm would essentially be a fool's errand.
The final realm, Realm Breaking, could be considered the attainment of a saintly physical form, where the body is immortal and indestructible.
However, these are mere records; no one has ever reached these heights.
Half an hour later, Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, exhaled deeply, and examined his body in a mirror not far away. Although there were no visible changes, he could clearly feel a significant increase in his physical strength. Upon closer inspection, his skin seemed to be covered by an invisible silken layer.
"Is this the power of the Vajra Sutra?"
Qin Xuan felt that if he were to fall from the building again with Tantai in his arms, he would absolutely be unharmed.
"Hahaha, this Vajra Sutra is truly a marvelous thing!" Qin Xuan burst into laughter.
"It won't be long before I completely master this Body Tempering realm. At that point, even a Grandmaster martial artist will be no match for me. Hahaha..."
Qin Xuan believed that even just the first realm of the upper part of the Vajra Sutra would be an earth-shattering existence in the present day.
This newfound confidence in his strength also allowed Qin Xuan to begin contemplating the matter of his family's annihilation years ago.
Qin Xuan was certain that it wouldn't be long before he could return to the capital. That day was not far off.
Suddenly, Qin Xuan noticed the clock showing almost six o'clock. He was startled.
"It's over! Tantai must have left work ages ago!"
Qin Xuan scrambled out of bed and rushed out the door.
Li Group Skyscraper.
Opposite Li Shengtian sat a middle-aged man dressed in a black overcoat.
The middle-aged man had a hint of ferocity on his face.
Even the shrewd and calculating Li Shengtian felt a trace of fear towards the man before him.
This middle-aged man was Jin Shikai's father, Jin Gong.
"Brother Li, I heard that my son's former company had many collaborations with your esteemed group, and that he was quite close with President Li. It's said they often frequented entertainment venues together. Is this true?"
Despite the middle-aged man's imposing aura, Li Shengtian had not risen to prominence for nothing. A smile flickered across his face as he took a puff of his cigar and said,
"Brother Jin, what you heard is true. Shikai was indeed close to me, and I had numerous collaborations with Jin's Group. It's only natural for us to be close, isn't it?"
Jin Gong's lips curved upwards slightly. "Is that so? The age difference between you is nearly double, yet you were so close? You must have found each other quite congenial."
Li Shengtian shrugged.
"Brother Jin, age isn't everything, is it? Everyone has their hobbies. It's perfectly fine for Shikai and I to be congenial and share similar interests, wouldn't you agree?"
"Then, my son's death... I assume you have some connection to it, Brother Li?" Jin Gong stared intently into Li Shengtian's eyes, as if trying to see through him.
Although Li Shengtian was not a martial artist, he had weathered decades of storms and was not intimidated by such a gaze.
"Brother Jin, you are wrongly accusing me. Reports say Shikai died in the middle of the night. By then, I was already asleep with a woman, snoring. I knew nothing."
"Oh? Is that so?" Jin Gong sneered.
"Li Shengtian, stop pretending with me. I'm not as easily fooled as my foolish son. I've investigated. The night before my son died, you met with him, and he was seen at your restaurant. How do you explain that?"
