Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms

Chapter 356: The Power of the Imperial Fist and the Ability of the Four Symbols Dao Pivot

Seeing that there was still some time, Zhou Yan activated his spiritual burning and began to refer to the boxing secret book in his hand.

This realization allowed Zhou Yan to understand the extraordinary cultivation system of this world.

The martial arts in this world, when they reach a certain level, are more like magic in the name of martial arts than martial arts.

Of course, the Zhenwu that Zhou Yan and others originally practiced had effects similar to magic.

But strictly speaking, although the two forms of expression are very similar, their essence is different.

The essence of Zhenwu is to transform spirit into true Qi through unique mental methods. The energy mobilized in normal battles is also the true Qi contained in the acupoints. It is a method of internal training.

The martial arts of this world, which Zhou Yan tentatively called "Yuanwu", is a method of external induction.

The cultivation of Yuanwu is divided into several stages - body refining realm, Qi and blood realm, true essence realm, and soul realm.

Except for the initial body refining realm which is simply to strengthen the body, the next three realms are actually related to the extraordinary factor "Heaven and Earth Essence" that exists in this world.

The Qi and Blood Realm is achieved by breathing in the vital energy of heaven and earth, integrating supernatural powers into one's own Qi and blood to greatly enhance the body's functions, or by releasing Qi and blood to stimulate supernatural powers in a small range to launch energy attacks with actual lethality.

The True Essence Realm is to refine the Essence of Heaven and Earth and store it in the Dantian, turning it into True Essence energy that can be mobilized freely by the warrior, thereby exerting an effect that is more lethal and useful than the power of Qi and blood.

This realm requires much higher mental strength than the physical and blood, which is roughly equivalent to the two-star level, that is, the third-level "spirit" realm of the true realm in the main world.

When one cultivates the True Yuan Realm to the extreme, one achieves the "external scene", which is the "false appearance" of the main world.

In this case, not only can one greatly enhance the effect of one's own true energy and suppress the opponent's spirit, but one can also draw upon the energy of heaven and earth for blessing, making one's strength far exceed that of those below one's realm.

Then there is the realm of Yuanshen. The essence of this realm is to condense the Dharma image, which is the external appearance.

After obtaining the Dharmakāya, in this world, humans are land immortals and strange monsters are monster saints.

Relying on the Dharmakāya is equivalent to obtaining a certain authority, which allows one to directly manipulate the vitality of heaven and earth and generate various large-scale and high-intensity magic.

That’s right, Zhou Yan called this method of manipulating the vital energy of heaven and earth magic.

At this point, he felt that it was no longer appropriate to simply refer to him as "Wu".

For him personally, mobilizing his inner energy can be called martial arts.

Mobilizing the power of the outside world is essentially equivalent to "magic".

[Emperor Fist (Mastered)]

Soon.

Zhou Yan suddenly opened his eyes and understood.

He has mastered this martial art called Imperial Fist to the level of "mastery".

Li San, who was standing next to him, saw Zhou Yan's situation and knew that he had made great progress in his studies, so he asked, "How is it?"

Zhou Yan smiled slightly and raised his hand gently.

A pale image several hundred meters in size appeared in the sky.

The second time Li San saw Zhou Yan's appearance, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Sure enough, although this kid has not reached the realm, the size of his Dharma appearance is amazing!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yan raised his right hand, and a red light path appeared on his entire arm under the influence of the super core "Hand of Destruction".

Afterwards, red lines also appeared on his foreign minister's right arm.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and a large area of ​​the vital energy of heaven and earth began to surge and run wildly under the stimulation of Zhou Yan's external appearance, like boiling water.

An unparalleled domineering will emanated from Zhou Yan, transforming into a tangible and terrifying pressure.

As Li San looked on in shock, Zhou Yan punched the sky.

The pale foreign minister also made the same move.

A strange golden light shot up into the sky. In the golden light, wind, fire, water, thunder and all kinds of strange phenomena merged into one and turned into a shocking fist shadow.

With a blow from the fist shadow, the dense clouds in the sky were blown away, revealing a huge round hole.

The three unique skills of the Imperial Fist, the first one is - killing!
The golden sunshine brings warm temperature.

Li San, who was standing next to him, had a trembling look in his eyes. He was extremely familiar with the iconic moves of his former best friend.

"This is... the killing fist!?"

He said hurriedly, "You have only been comprehending for less than half an hour, and you are able to use the first level of the Emperor Fist. How did you do it?!"

Zhou Yan smiled, not knowing how to explain it.

But he probably knew why he could achieve this level.

The high-level realm of "Yuanwu" in this world is essentially not in the category of "cultivation" but in the category of "use".

The primordial energy of heaven and earth does not belong to the cultivator, but after the cultivator possesses the Dharmakāya, he gains the authority to manipulate it.

Although the Emperor Fist is extremely powerful and complex, this unique move of its is only a means of mobilizing the vitality of heaven and earth.

This method, which only requires "manipulation authority", is very easy for any powerful person in the main world who mainly cultivates spirit and condenses it into an external form in the mad realm.

For Zhou Yan, it was even simpler.

The method of the spirit and soul that he practiced was the miraculous secret method of the Great Dao - the Four Symbols Dao Pivot.

This way of cultivation originates from the Four Symbols and is of an extremely high level.

Although the four symbols have not been fully gathered, their full effectiveness cannot be activated.

However, with the blessing of the Taoist principles of the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird and White Tiger, he was strengthened by "Shaoyang, Taiyang and Shaoyin" and integrated the three Taoist principles of "birth, growth and achievement".

The only thing missing is the "Taiyin" and "Cang" represented by Xuanwu.

Therefore, not only is his spiritual cultivation progressing extremely fast, but he is also extremely efficient in learning skills related to soul manipulation.

It is no wonder that he can learn the world's supreme martial arts instantly and master them at once.

Zhou Yan was even able to draw inferences from one instance and borrow and integrate the energy bursting method of the Emperor Fist's unique move, and apply it to the manipulation of his own true Qi, making the power of his true Qi even greater than before.

From this perspective, learning the Emperor Fist is not completely useless.

After all, this is the "Yuanwu World" whose upper limit is far higher than that of the "Zhenwu World". This boxing technique called Emperor Fist is indeed far superior to that of "Zhenwu", at least in terms of the concept of energy use.

However, for an order walker like Zhou Yan who has to travel around the world frequently, the main value of this Imperial Fist is its method of energy manipulation.

Its cultivation method basically relies on the vitality of heaven and earth in this world, but the extraordinary energy in many worlds is not displayed in this way.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Just say that in the main world, there is no such extraordinary factor contained in the heaven and earth. Otherwise, it would have been discovered by those powerful practitioners long ago.

From this perspective, "Zhenwu", which can refine spirit into true qi, is much more practical than "Yuanwu".

Zhou Yan put away his thoughts.

He did not explain much, but smiled and said to Li San: "Senior Li San, how could you say that I am the disciple that Senior Shen Bai has already recognized before he even met me?"

Li San stroked his white beard and said, "I'm beginning to feel that it's not a big deal to share a disciple with Shen Bai."
