Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Before this, Chen Jie had spent more than a month cultivating in the ocean.

He absorbed a massive amount of life potential and successfully broke through to the peak of martial arts, 'Indestructible Godhood'.

but,

His spiritual refinement realm is still some distance from entering the mid-stage of the meditative state.

It seems that his martial arts skills and spiritual cultivation have once again reached a bottleneck.

Perhaps it will take time to refine it before it can break through again.

His martial arts Dharma power has also reached the limit of the martial arts realm.

at this time,

After absorbing the essence of the ancient clan, he was greatly surprised.

His dantian and meridians underwent another transformation.

"Hiss—this is the essence blood of the ancient race!?"

Chen Jie began to circulate the Vajra Technique, absorbing the essence and blood of the ancient clan in front of him.

He indeed felt a domineering yet surging mysterious power flowing through his meridians.

At this moment, his dantian once again frantically absorbed and merged.

It's a very strange feeling.

Just like someone whose eyesight is slightly nearsighted, making the handwriting appear blurry.

Finally, I put on a clear pair of nearsighted glasses, and everything around me became incredibly clear.

His eyes seemed to reflect the vastness of the world, filled with all sorts of energies.

Some of these are extremely violent energies that cannot be absorbed.

Some of these are gentle forces that can be absorbed and refined within the body through cultivation techniques, becoming one's own power.

When the ancient blood essence is absorbed and refined within the body.

His strength and life potential did not increase significantly.

However, his realm of spiritual refinement was like opening a window for his spiritual perception, filling the world with color and making it very clear.

Everything in the universe seems to be composed of tiny energy substances, as small as cells.

Their composition follows certain rules, and is not chaotic.

This is the rule of heaven and earth!

It is the most fundamental component of the world and the foundation of the world's structure.

Simultaneously,

This also represents the grand trend of the universe, encompassing the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Heaven and man are one!

It is the fusion of spiritual power and the rules of heaven and earth, the harmony between human consciousness and nature.

at this moment,
He could clearly sense all of this, as if he had gained a deeper understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

The spiritual sense, which had already broken through to the 'Contemplation' realm, finally sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough at this moment.

"How is it going? Have you gained a deeper understanding?"

"The essence of the ancient race's bloodline, isn't it powerful?"

"The power they contain can make your spiritual refinement clearer, advance your spiritual awareness, and open the path to 'sitting in oblivion' for you."

"As long as you can grasp its profound meaning, even entering the state of forgetting oneself is not a difficult thing."

"At that time, not only will your combat power increase dramatically again, but you will also be able to successfully condense the nine Dharma forms."

Li Aoshuang sighed and said, "Unfortunately, my talent is limited. Although I can sense the power of the ancient clan's blood essence, I cannot take the final step in the path of martial arts, break the shackles of heaven and earth, shatter the void, and become a Martial Saint!"

Chen Jie remained silent, instead sitting cross-legged on the ground, continuing to meditate and strive to seize this opportunity for a breakthrough.

His innate qi had been cultivated to the limit of indestructibility, and he had also fused with the power of the ancient clan to sense the heavens and earth.

Now that he had finally sensed a breakthrough opportunity in the Refining Spirit Realm, how could he possibly miss it?

boom--!
His body was surging with innate qi, and his blood was flowing.

The power of the Vajra Indestructible Body's Dharma form circulated wildly, attempting to resonate with Yin and Yang and absorb and refine the life potential of the essence blood.

"The Vajra is inexhaustible, wisdom and virtue are perfect, the sacred realm is immaculate, and my heart is flawless!"

this moment,
Chen Jie's mind entered a state of absolute clarity.

Everything around him disappeared from his mind, as if his soul had lost all connection with the outside world.

At the same time, even without activating the [Martial Saint Gate], Chen Jie could vaguely sense the Starry Sky Inheritance Land.

Especially after he comprehended the Yin-Yang transformation, his spiritual perception became even clearer.

Now, as long as he begins to cultivate the 'Indestructible Vajra Body', he can sense the faint 'earth' aura between heaven and earth, absorb and refine it, and continuously temper himself.

"This is the power of the laws of the world!?"

call--!
Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if he had suddenly grasped the earthy essence between heaven and earth.

His intuition was like a hungry beast, constantly absorbing and devouring its surroundings.

The earthy energy of heaven and earth continuously flowed into his body, circulating through his internal organs, constantly strengthening his cells and meridians.

The "Star Absorbing Technique," derived from the Vajra Skill, is an extremely wondrous technique, forming its own unique lineage.

It can not only absorb the essence and blood of deep-sea creatures, but also absorb and refine various energies from heaven and earth.

After Chen Jie broke through the Yin-Yang Transformation, his spiritual sense seemed to be nourished, becoming more sensitive, and he benefited greatly.

boom--!
A trace of earthly energy was absorbed and refined by Chen Jie, entering his dantian and then condensing into his external dharma form.

For a while,
A yellowish-brown light rippled across the surface of his indestructible Vajra body.

This is the true energy of Earth (戊土)!

The purest innate true energy manifests, which can also be called 'Holy Origin'!
This is a kind of internal energy that only a martial saint-level expert can comprehend and condense.

"Impressive! The cultivation technique you practice is indeed extraordinary. I was right, you have obtained the inheritance of a Martial Saint!"

Li Aoshuang looked at Chen Jie's expression and clicked her tongue in amazement.

At this moment, Chen Jie acted as if he hadn't heard any sounds from the outside world. In the absence of crisis, he shut out everything from the outside world.

this moment,
He activated his Vajra Indestructible Body to its fullest extent, absorbing a large amount of essence and blood power.

The 'Earth Qi' surrounding his body became increasingly thick and condensed.

After one day and one night.

His body surface had congealed into a yellowish-brown cocoon, completely enveloping and shielding his body.

A powerful defensive force circulated across his body.

It seemed to be brewing a true qi armor, a diamond shield.

The Five Elements are the foundation of the rules of Heaven and Earth.

Among them, earth is the main element of defense, and its power is the most profound, stable, and robust.

Majestic as a mountain!

This refers to Earth-elemental True Qi, the purest power in martial arts.

Chen Jie is now focusing on refining this innate qi. His previous Vajra Indestructible Body was merely a way to temper his external dharma form.

Once the 'Earth True Qi' is completely integrated into the Vajra Indestructible Body, it signifies that one has reached the true pinnacle of cultivation.

Chen Jie's state of condensing 'Earth True Qi' is the opportunity to break through to the Refining Spirit Realm.

He wanted to integrate this power into his body and use it to advance his spiritual cultivation to a higher level.

After a day of absorption and refinement.

After Chen Jie absorbed a bottle of 'ancient clan essence blood', the earthy yellow color on his body surface became even more dazzling.

At first glance, it looks like a giant, yellowish-brown egg.

Even if you get close, you can feel the majestic aura of a mountain, as immovable as a mountain.

"The time is almost up, it's time for a breakthrough!"

Chen Jie could clearly feel that his Vajra Indestructible Body had absorbed and refined enough 'Earth True Qi'!
A breakthrough requires an opportunity!
At this moment, the opportunity he sensed was so clear.

After a moment's consideration, he took a deep breath and made up his mind.

boom--!
next moment,
The last strand of Earth True Qi was refined and entered his Dantian Qi Sea, merging with the innate Gang Qi he had condensed.

Boom—boom—boom—!
Suddenly,

The innate qi within his body surged and boiled violently, as if it had encountered boiling water.

Pfft—Pfft!

Blood began to seep from his nostrils, ears, and eyes.

In particular, the skin on his body surface swelled up like an inflating balloon, and his muscles seemed to have lost control, bulging and scurrying around like little mice.

His muscles and joints crackled like popping beans.

Muscles and bones roar together!

Completely different from the resounding clang of bones and muscles during a breakthrough in martial arts, this is the cracking sound produced by the collision of internal energy.

"what happened?"

Li Lingyue, who was standing next to Li Aoshuang, had not left the training ground the entire time, and together with Li Aoshuang, she was closely watching Chen Jie's breakthrough.

At this moment, Li Lingyue was stunned when she saw Chen Jie covered in blood.

She was so anxious that her face turned deathly pale, and her voice began to tremble.

Chen Jie's expression at this moment was no different from that of someone who had gone into a state of demonic possession, as if his body had lost control, his true energy was running rampant, and he was about to self-destruct at any moment.

"The innate qi is clashing! This is a sign of qi deviation, it's bad—!"

Li Aoshuang was taken aback.

but,

After observing carefully for a moment with her powerful spiritual sense, she exclaimed in amazement:

"Strange, his breathing is very steady, it seems that the clash of innate qi is under his control!"

"He's using the clash of innate qi to break through!"

Just as Li Aoshuang opened her mouth to speak.

The clash between the innate vital energy in Chen Jie's dantian and dantian has stopped.

A surge of fused energy actually condensed in his dantian and rushed straight to the Lingtai acupoint on his forehead.

boom--!
A strand of earth-yellow true energy and a strand of ordinary golden-yellow true energy separated from their fused state.

They constantly separate, then intertwine and merge like twisted ropes, spinning rapidly and never stopping.

at this time,

The blood seeping from Chen Jie's skin evaporated under the scorching heat and was absorbed again.

"The true energy of Earth and the true energy of Metal merge and become one!"

He roared, focusing his willpower.

Two suffocating auras converged at this moment, forming a vortex.

The vortex spun rapidly in the Lingtai acupoint, just like constellations in a starry sky.

After circulating through the Lingtai acupoint, the two streams of innate qi actually condensed again at the Dantian Qihai acupoint.

The golden-colored true energy merged into the lungs.

The earth-yellow true energy merged into the spleen.

These two clusters of innate qi formed a powerful force.

This is the fusion of the power of the laws of heaven and earth, a regular formation.

boom--!
Chen Jie's mind was in a frenzy at that moment.

In an instant, his mental state was elevated.

The spiritual sense seemed to suddenly break through a barrier, spreading and proliferating throughout the entire city of Jinling.

His physical form was fully manifested at this moment.

Breakthrough!
Just as the 'Earth True Qi' and 'Metal True Qi' within his body clashed, his Refining Spirit Realm advanced by leaps and bounds, achieving a transcendence, and his spiritual awareness instantly increased!

Five kilometers!
ten kilometers!
-

Twenty kilometers!

Thirty kilometers!

-

Fifty kilometers!

Sixty kilometers!

-

hum!
at last,

His spiritual cultivation had broken through to the mid-stage of the Contemplation Realm, and his spiritual perception range exceeded sixty kilometers.

at the same time,

His sensing range continues to increase.

Seventy kilometers!

One hundred kilometers!
-

140 kilometers!
150 kilometers!
-

180 kilometers!
Two hundred kilometers!

boom!
His cultivation level actually skipped the mid-stage of the Concentration Realm and entered the late-stage Perfect Concentration Realm!
When Chen Jie reached the state of 'Perfect Mind Fasting', his spiritual perception range was only about five kilometers.

When he broke through to the 'early stage of meditative absorption', his spiritual perception range was twenty kilometers.

Unexpectedly, this time, the distance of his spiritual perception exceeded two hundred kilometers!

A single, cold glint of sword light slays an enemy from a hundred miles away!

Last time in Ryukyu, Chen Jie was killed by Miyamoto Musashi with a single sword strike from a hundred miles away.

He was never convinced of his own worth.

right now,

Under the clash of the two innate energies, his spiritual perception actually broke through to the 'late stage of perfect concentration'!
have to say,

The "Concentration" stage in the Refining Spirit realm is the most important realm for a martial artist's spiritual transformation.

Their strengths are worlds apart.

at this time,

His martial arts level has already reached the mid-stage of 'Indestructible Godhood', and he could break through at any time.

Once a martial artist's spiritual refinement reaches the 'late-stage Great Perfection of Contemplation', in Taoist terms, they can be called a 'True Person'!
Wood corresponds to the liver, earth to the spleen, fire to the heart, metal to the lungs, and water to the kidneys!
The five elements, through their mutual generation and restraint, are interconnected and represent the profound principles of the laws of nature.

After Chen Jie broke through to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Refining Realm, he condensed the innate Qi of Earth and Metal into a vortex, which he then hid deep within his spleen and lungs.

However, Chen Jie's Geng Metal innate Qi is relatively much more abundant.

His innate Earth Qi was only recently condensed, and there is still some difference between the two.

However, the attributes of the two innate qi activated his spleen and lungs.

boom--!
In an instant, his momentum surged.

A terrifying aura emanated from his body, causing a deafening roar to reverberate around him.

A powerful shockwave spread outwards from him.

Swish!
A sword-wielding dharma image appeared in the training ground, enveloping the heavens and earth.

next moment,
Countless sword illusions materialized around him, as if sealing off the heavens and earth, giving him an endless sense of oppression.

This is the most powerful sword domain force.

The primordial energy condenses, permeates the entire body, and combines with the sword domain. This is why the sword dharma form can manifest and kill without leaving a trace.

A master at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Dingguan realm possesses formidable combat power!
This is not only an improvement in combat power, but also a qualitative leap in mental strength.

but,

As two different types of innate qi entered his body, Chen Jie clearly felt that the condition inside his body had become unbalanced!

To achieve a balanced and stable balance of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), at least three of them are needed, or they can develop in a single unit.

Cultivating two different types of innate qi is the most difficult thing to maintain a balance with.

"Master of the Soaring Cloud Sword, lend me a hand!"

Chen Jie's mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't have time to think it through.

Swish!
With a wave of his hand, he grabbed Li Aoshuang.

boom--!
The next moment, he and Li Aoshuang disappeared from the training ground.

"Master, my husband—!"

Li Lingyue was taken aback, but in the instant she realized what was happening, she was all alone. There was no sign of Li Aoshuang or Chen Jie anywhere.

Li Aoshuang's martial arts realm has broken through to the [Quasi-Saint] realm, and her innate Qi belongs to the Gui Water attribute!
If Chen Jie wants to achieve a balanced and stable state of innate qi within his body, he must absorb and refine a third type of innate qi to form a triangular balance.

If you try to cultivate step by step, it's too late!

The only way is to merge with Li Aoshuang's innate internal energy.

Although Li Lingyue also cultivates Gui Water True Qi, her martial arts level is too low, and she has not yet condensed innate Gang Qi, so she cannot integrate, absorb, and refine it.

this moment,
Li Aoshuang's mind went blank for a moment, and she was completely dumbfounded!
She tried to struggle, but found that her body was instantly immobilized and unable to move.

Chen Jie grabbed her with one hand and led her directly into the underground secret chamber of the Qianwang Mansion.

Boom——!
As the door to the underground chamber closed, Li Aoshuang felt an aura emanating from Chen Jie that was like a raging fire.

This is not the innate Qi of the Bing Fire attribute, but a fusion of the innate Qi of the Geng Metal and Wu Earth.

Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal!
boom--!
After the Gui Water innate Qi entered Chen Jie's body.

Li Aoshuang felt her mind go blank:
"No—no—!"

Gui water enters the kidneys!

At this moment, the three innate energies actually formed a unified whole, incredibly solid.

Bang!
The moment their innate qi merged, a powerful force shattered their clothes.

At that moment, their hearts beat in unison.

Each jump caused a vibration in the surrounding air—! (End of Chapter)
