Destiny is ashes

Chapter 266: Spiritual and Mystical (13)

"We must break through as soon as possible, otherwise we might not even be able to defeat the elite troops sent by the Demon Cult next time."

An Jing shook his hands, and the charcoal on the surface of his palms was wiped away, just like a layer of flying ash being brushed off the surface of metal.

"Your body-refining method is truly extraordinary. It is definitely a true secret-book-level body-refining method."

Ming Guangchen's eyes narrowed slightly.

He originally wanted to remind An Jing to be careful of his "fire in the pupils", but considering that some sufferings have to be endured, just like a child should have his fingers burned by fire once before knowing not to play with fire, he hoped that this small loss would make An Jing have more awe of the inner strength realm.

Now it seems that the effect is remarkable. An Jing has become more vigilant and will not be ambushed by the strong men from other major sects.

But who could be the victim of this body-refining technique of his?

——Such pure Gengjin...Have you ever swallowed any high-level metal spiritual objects?

"Anyway, keep going."

He shook his head slightly and put his guess aside.

Ming Guangchen knew that if An Jing was really related to Jin Yuantian as he thought, then it was normal for the other party to have any opportunities.

He continued to explain to An Jing the many key points of the Inner Strength Realm: "The five scenes of Inner Strength are not fixed. If one's fate is special and one's bloodline is extraordinary, one can condense one or two more to correspond to the Six Combinations and the Seven Stars."

"This has both advantages and disadvantages for advancing martial veins, and requires specific techniques. We will talk about it based on the Five Divine Wonders."

"The five divine powers must cover the whole body. External schools usually focus on the limbs and bones, while internal schools usually focus on the internal organs and meridians."

"And the fifth divine power must be 'Soul'."

"Be careful." Ming Guangchen controlled his Dharma body and reminded An Jing: "Keep your spirit up and strengthen your thoughts, otherwise you may feel uncomfortable for a day or two."

After the prompt, the Dharma body slightly opened his eyes and looked at An Jing.

An Jing, who was concentrating his attention, felt a sharp blade like an invisible blade suddenly cutting into his soul.

His body shook slightly. Because An Jing had been practicing 'no desire and no self' and the Pure and Tranquil Sword View recently, his soul was quite powerful, blocking the sharp blade like a solid shield.

But even so, during the collision, An Jing still realized that part of his superficial thoughts were read by Mingguangchen, just like his soul being cut by a blade. The deeper the cut, the more he could see the essence.

"What a strong spirit, worthy of being called Su Hui!"

Ming Guangchen was not too surprised this time. After he found out that An Jing was a wise man, he knew that he would not be able to really hurt the other party unless he used his Dharma body with all his strength. But he did not expect that he could not even make An Jing dizzy. He just paused for a moment.

Seeing An Jing's surprised expression, he smiled and said, "What if you were hit like this in a life-and-death battle and you paused, would you die on the spot?"

"Even if you block it, some of your intended offensive and defensive moves will be read by you, and a skilled warrior can use this to gain an advantage in the next battle and suppress you."

"Is this the peak of inner strength?" An Jing was still pondering. After a while, he came to his senses and said with emotion: "The divine will is surging, without any signs, and with the blessing of the divine will, every move may be mixed with spiritual attacks, making it impossible to defend... This is the true peak of inner strength!"

but……

Although on the surface he was admiring the strength of the peak inner sect, in fact, An Jing was thinking of the "Control of Heavenly Time" that he had comprehended.

As both are soul secrets, it is hard to say which is better, the physical time acceleration or the mental attack additional part of mind reading. They are all parts of different martial arts, and they need to be matched with different martial arts to fully exert their functions. But if An Jing's enlightenment is correct... Zhi Tian Shi should be the first supernatural power that he needs to concentrate on on the road of martial arts.

According to Ming Guangchen, all the supernatural powers related to the soul will be condensed in the end.

The two are completely opposite, why is this?
"so……"

An Jing carefully considered his words and asked, "Does the magical condensation of the soul have to be the last one?"

"I knew you were going to ask this." Ming Guangchen smiled and said, "If you are a person of your wisdom, your soul is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people, so you naturally have enough foundation."

"But for ordinary people, they must constantly study martial arts, nourish their bodies, and then feed back their spirits, so that they have enough soul strength to condense the supernatural."

"Not to mention, if you don't have a strong body, what's the point of using these spiritual abilities?"

With that said, An Jing could indeed understand.

Simply put, if one cannot suppress the enemy with his physical body, even if he can make the enemy stand still for a few seconds, it will be useless. He will not be able to deal any damage, and he may not even be able to break the defense of an enemy who has refined his body.

It seems that Zhitianshi is indeed far superior to Shenyirui in this respect, because this is a core magical power that can play a key role under any circumstances, and even if it is the first one to condense, it will not hinder the combat effectiveness.

Ming Guangchen continued to explain the path of martial arts to An Jing: "When the warrior's internal energy fills the whole body, he must use the power of his fate to condense the divine power. The first four divine powers need to encompass the whole body and build the body into a whole."

"After that, if you want to achieve the cycle of heaven and man and make further progress in martial arts, you must break through the mysterious gate of heaven and earth and forge the martial veins of ascending to heaven."

"The key to this step is the divine power of the soul. To use my analogy, the 'sharp' in 'sharp divine power' is definitely not meant to attack the soul of others during a battle. That is just a derivative of its true use."

"The divine will is sharp, which means to be able to sharply perceive the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and to be as sharp as the edge of a sword, to cut open the mysterious gate of heaven and earth, and then to control the celestial phenomena with my image, and control the will of heaven with my will, to form a small world with myself as the center."

"Heaven's will?" An Jing frowned slightly: "Isn't this the Heaven's Will Demon Cult..."

"And... a small world centered around myself?"

An Jing thought of the magical powers Ming Guangchen had displayed when he had suppressed the evil energy in the entire Kanming City's inner veins.

That magical power that seemed to hold the heaven and earth in one's hands completely fits the description of "small world"!

In addition, An Jing saw the Purple Palace Array that guarded a town in the Tianyuan Realm...

"It's a bit like a formation." He murmured, "What's the relationship between the small world and the formation?"

"What the Heaven's Will Demon Cult said is right. It only means that they also understand the truth of martial arts. It doesn't mean that their other ideas are correct."

In response to An Jing's doubts, Ming Guangchen shook his head: "Moreover, if their martial arts philosophy is not correct, how can they wreak havoc in Beixuan Sacrifice Continent for so many years and be ranked among the 108 upper gates?"

"As for the small world and formation."

At this point, Ming Guangchen sighed first, then laughed: "Your comprehension is so high that it makes me a little dazed... In this case, I will test you again."

"What do you think is the essence of the supernatural?"
