Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 93 Dragons Flying and Snakes Dancing
The feeling of resonance is very mysterious and also very intoxicating.

Gao Wu suddenly remembered what Song Mingyue had said: "Humans have six billion genome codes, and everyone spends their whole life searching for people or things that correspond to their own genome codes."

Regardless of the truth or falsehood of this claim, no matter how close one is to others, each person, as an individual, cannot resolve the loneliness deep within their heart.

At this very moment, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue resonated with each other, transcending the limitations of language, writing, and other forms of communication, and connecting on a spiritual level.

It brings a sense of fulfillment and contentment on a spiritual level, but not excitement; rather, it is a very stable and long-lasting peace and comfort.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Gao Wu finally snapped out of the resonance state. He glanced at his smartwatch; in reality, only a few minutes had gone by.

In the state of resonance, his perception of time became very dull. In his mind's eye, it felt as if he and Song Mingyue had spent a lifetime together!
Through the resonance he just experienced, he transformed into a green dragon and danced with a white snake, experiencing the exhilarating feeling of a dragon soaring through the heavens, dominating and looking down upon everything.

This insight greatly benefited his practice of the Nine Forms of the Dragon and the Swimming Dragon Sword.

The spiritual connection was broken, but Gao Wu was still able to sense Song Mingyue through his spiritual power, and even sense Song Mingyue's mental state.

On their second meeting, Gao Wu discovered that he did indeed have a special connection with Song Mingyue, being able to easily recognize her and find her even in the deep waters of a lake.

Today, through the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, he and Song Mingyue have truly established a stable spiritual connection.

As for how the spiritual connection is established, that's not so important anymore.

It could be due to Song Mingyue's special condition, or it could be due to his sudden increase in mental strength, or it could be due to the illusory wings left by the Angel of Death, which made the already delicate connection between the two of them more stable.

He had a feeling that even though he and Song Mingyue were thousands of miles apart, he could still sense Song Mingyue.

In this state of resonance, he, as the one chanting the spell, took the initiative.

As for its use, it's hard to say for sure right now. All that can be said is that it allows for extremely efficient communication through a clandestine mental connection.

In certain special situations, such as combat scenarios, this efficient communication method offers a significant advantage.

Right now, the biggest benefit is that both sides can hone their spiritual strength through resonance.

Song Mingyue opened her eyes, and her previously dim gaze brightened. With a complicated expression, she said, "This is amazing!"

Because of her powerful mental abilities, she somehow resonated with otherworldly spirits, which caused various problems.

Today, however, she established a spiritual resonance with Gao Wu. Unlike the cold and destructive aura of the alien spirits, Gao Wu's aura was long and full of vitality, causing her severely injured spiritual power to rapidly grow.

“Originally, it would have taken me one or two years to recover, but with your help, it only took a month,” Song Mingyue said.

Gao Wu grinned and said, "That's great!"

He then couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How does your mental cultivation compare to that of a martial arts master?"

"His mental strength is equivalent to or even stronger than that of a martial artist. As for fighting, that's another story."

Song Mingyue knew Gao Wu all too well, so she asked, "You want to deal with Wan Cangsong?"

"Hehe..." Gao Wu chuckled憨厚ly, "My good friend, you understand me best!"

"It's hard."

Song Mingyue shook her head slightly. She had witnessed Wan Cangsong unleash his mental energy field. Although his mental strength was not as good as hers, it was not far behind.

The key is that Wan Cangsong has strong martial arts skills, while she is much weaker in martial arts.

In comparison, her slight advantage in mental strength is nothing.

“My second aunt has already reported it to the headquarters, and they are investigating Wan Canglong.”

Song Mingyue said, "We should be able to deal with Wan Canglong within six months."

Gao Wu was a little surprised. He thought Shen Ning was cold and realistic and wouldn't meddle in such matters.

After all, Wan Canglong is a powerful martial artist, and it's easy to cause trouble if you really provoke him.

If a warrior in the Yellow Sea were to deliberately cause trouble, no one could stop him.

Not to mention a powerful martial artist like Wan Canglong, who, if he really set his mind to doing evil, would cause immense destruction and is extremely terrifying.

"The Hunter Association has its rules, and making money in the gray area is considered normal. However, Wan Canglong has crossed the line. This is absolutely not allowed."

Song Mingyue said seriously, "The people in Yunling must have worshipped some kind of demon god to be able to collude with each other and form a huge and tightly knit alliance of interests."

"We must be cautious in dealing with this alliance of interests."

"Understood, understood." Gao Wu understood this quite well. The followers of the Demon God formed a secretive and vast network of relationships, which was very intricate and would definitely be troublesome.

Just like Song Chunqiu, who took action after a month of preparation, he still fled to the Yellow Sea.

As a result, they almost died at Huang Hai's hands!

Thinking about this, Gao Wu still felt a bit resentful; even a dignified martial arts master wasn't very reliable.

“You’re not feeling well right now, you should take some time off and rest,” Gao Wu suggested.

If Song Mingyue were to encounter a powerful enemy in her current condition, such as Wan Canglong, she wouldn't be able to fight back. He felt it was best for her to stay home and recover from her injuries.

“Alright, I have a small villa by White Scale Lake. Let’s stay there for a while.” Song Mingyue didn’t want to live in the safe house; it was too stifling, and she couldn’t cultivate there.

Staying at home isn't very safe, so changing rooms is the wisest choice.

"You have so many villas..." Gao Wu said with envy.

"Actually, it's Aunt Lan's villa. There's no difference," Song Mingyue explained.

The next morning, Song Mingyue and Gao Wu moved to a small villa near the lake.

This two-story villa is not very large, only about 200 square meters. The house number is 38, and it is separated from villa number nine by a hill.

It's far enough away. No outsider would ever find this place without knowing the specifics.

Aunt Lan went to the school to find the leaders and asked for a long leave for Gao Wu and Song Mingyue.

The biggest advantage of a villa is that it has a yard, where you can practice martial arts.

Bailin Lake has thawed, and the faint smell of fish and grass carried by the wind, combined with the afternoon sunlight, creates a pleasant natural aroma.

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. He didn't use the Heavenly Fate Sword, which was connected to his mind and could improve his swordsmanship level.

It's good for fighting, but not suitable for sword practice.

He and Song Mingyue slowly pushed and parried with their wooden swords, mainly to experience the changes in the force of their sword movements.

Through spiritual resonance, Gao Wu was able to gain a deeper understanding of Song Mingyue's swordsmanship skills, and even delve into the level of spiritual contemplation.

In this way, he would have learned half of what Song Mingyue knew.

Through this resonance, Song Mingyue also continuously nurtured the seed of psychic power. Both of them got what they needed and gained something, which was perfectly fair.

After practicing for more than an hour, Song Mingyue's body was starting to give out, and her energy was noticeably lower than usual.

While Song Mingyue was resting, Gao Wu took out his phone and checked. Han Yang and Coach Song Yunhui had both sent him messages via Fetion, mainly to express their concern and inquire about his situation. After all, suddenly taking a long leave of absence would inevitably lead to negative associations.

Gao Wu replied to each of them, expressing his gratitude for their concern and briefly explaining his situation, saying that he had important matters to attend to and would go to school after he finished.

When Aunt Lan returned, she brought news that Huang Long's family had been murdered. The scene was reportedly extremely bloody.

Because it involves followers of the demon god, the news has been blocked. All systems have been mobilized to hunt down the fugitive Huang Hai.

It was Aunt Lan who found Shen Ning, and with Shen Ning's intervention, the matter was finally resolved.

Only Shen Ning possessed this identity, and wouldn't be questioned about details or Huang Hai's body by the Supervision Department or the Public Security Bureau...

Gao Wu wasn't afraid of people investigating the body; there were no security cameras, so he could say whatever he wanted. However, the deaths of Huang Long's family left him with mixed feelings.

Huang Hai clearly took good care of his nephew, yet he personally killed Huang Long's entire family, displaying utter inhumanity and depravity!
The Alliance is ruthless in its crackdown on followers of the Demon God, employing exceptionally cruel methods. Those who worship the Demon God are corrupted and can no longer be considered human…

For the next few days, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue stayed in the villa, practicing boxing and swordsmanship every day, and cultivating their spiritual power together when they had nothing to do.

Unfortunately, Song Mingyue's telekinetic abilities are very special, and Gao Wu can't learn them no matter what.

Fortunately, swordsmanship and fist techniques were much easier, and after a few days, Gao Wu made significant progress.

When he had nothing to do at night, Gao Wu would ride his Yin Spirit to travel outside and test its various states.

The maximum distance that the Yin Spirit can travel is 500 meters. If one is carrying the Heavenly Fate Sword, then one can only move within 100 meters to truly activate the Heavenly Fate Sword.

According to his estimation, the Yin God's normal state of wielding the Heavenly Fate Sword was significantly stronger than Aunt Lan's, but still not as strong as the Frost Moon Sword activated by Song Mingyue.

Adding the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra to the Destiny Sword will imbue the sword with high-temperature burning, which can destroy source force fields of the same level.

He can only maintain this extreme state for a maximum of three seconds when he simultaneously applies the Sixfold Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra to the Yin Spirit.

As for its specific power, without sufficient test targets, it is difficult to make an accurate estimate.

When there are no restrictions, the speed of the Yin spirit can reach 100 meters per second.

If a spirit wields a sword, its speed can reach fifty meters per second.

At such high speeds, the Heavenly Sword releases kinetic energy that is already twenty times that of an assault rifle bullet.

Gao Wu asked Song Mingyue, and she said that, generally speaking, the burst speed of a martial artist is only about fifty meters per second.

It may not sound very fast, but in reality, only modern transportation can achieve this speed. For a human body to unleash such speed is truly terrifying.

Based on this calculation, the Yin God's sword-wielding state is roughly equivalent to a beginner martial artist.

In reality, the Yin Spirit wields its sword at an even faster speed, unleashing far more terrifying kinetic energy. Furthermore, without the limitations of a physical body, it can change direction much faster and with greater versatility.

If it weren't for the fact that his Yin Spirit Source Power level wasn't too high, his actual combat power would be higher than that of a beginner martial artist.

The mutated Destiny Sword was also noticeably sharper. The small nicks left by previous strikes had also disappeared.

These changes gave Gao Wu a great sense of security.

If we encounter the likes of Huang Hai again, there's nothing to be afraid of.

The only problem is that the one who controls the source power is the Yin spirit, not his body; he is still just a martial artist.

This puzzled Gao Wu greatly. His spirit and physique had both reached 15 points, far surpassing Aunt Lan. In this state, he should have been able to gather source power long ago.

He can now sense the source energy with his mental power, but he is unable to gather the source energy into his body. He has one foot on the threshold of the warrior's door, but he can't step over it no matter what he does.

Even with his temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Song Mingyue noticed Gao Wu's anxiety and said, "For a martial artist to gather source power, one needs to be mentally strong and physically strong. You have both, but you still can't gather source power. That can only mean one thing: your martial arts cultivation is impure."

"Your body is strong and your spirit is strong, but you can't achieve unity of mind and body. In my opinion, it's because your progress has been too rapid, relying on a lot of external forces..."

"By skipping the cultivation process, the excessively powerful body and spirit have become obstacles."

Gao Wu suddenly realized that Xiao Song had hit the nail on the head!
Since last November, just over four months have passed, but he has undergone a tremendous transformation.

These changes are either due to the medicine or the blessing of the Book of Immeasurable Merit; they can almost all be considered as external forces.

In terms of martial arts cultivation, he didn't actually make much progress.

"What's your idea?" Gao Wu asked humbly.

"In my opinion, we still need to purify martial arts and unify internal and external practices. After all, the sword is an external object, so you shouldn't practice it for now."

"From now on, focus on cultivating the Soaring Dragon Palm. Your spiritual power is as agile as a dragon. As long as you calm down and cultivate the Soaring Dragon Palm, you will be able to break through the bottleneck by governing your body with your spirit."

Song Mingyue knew Gao Wu too well, and she proposed a practical plan based on Gao Wu's condition.

Gao Wu deeply agreed, believing that the Heavenly Fate Sword's enhancement of swordsmanship was also an external force, which was detrimental to his martial arts cultivation.

In the following days, besides spiritual cultivation with Song Mingyue, he practiced the Swimming Dragon Palm with Song Mingyue through push hands.

He was a little agitated at first, but Xiao Song's calm demeanor gradually put him at ease.

One day, two days, three days...

As time passed, the scent of spring grew stronger, and Gao Wu's heart became more and more relaxed.

He was able to gradually gain a deeper understanding of his own strong, steel-like bones and muscles, and sensed that the movement of his bones and muscles was rough and direct, which did not conform to the essence of the Swimming Dragon Palm.

Ultimately, it's because his physique is too strong, bypassing the accumulation steps of martial arts and forcibly reaching this point.

By practicing push hands with Song Mingyue every day, Gao Wu gradually straightened out his unusually strong tendons and muscles, making them coordinated, supple, and able to exert force in a unified manner.

On the morning of April 2nd, the sun was shining brightly and the spring breeze was just right.

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue were slowly practicing push hands by the White Scale Lake. His mind flowed through every muscle and bone in his body with the push hands movements.

Unbeknownst to him, his mind had already integrated the internal and external forces of his body, leaving nothing out.

Gao Wu suddenly paused, then flicked his arm slightly to shake off Song Mingyue's arm. Song Mingyue noticed the change and naturally withdrew her strength and stepped back.

Her eyes sparkled with a bright, cool light, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, rarely revealing any expression of relief or joy.

Gao Wu circled Song Mingyue eight times, his steps light, graceful, swift, and agile, like a serpent swimming through grass or a dragon soaring over rivers and seas. In just a few steps, he already displayed the grandeur of a snake dancing and a dragon flying...

The most important aspect of the Swimming Dragon Palm is actually movement technique. He used to always fall short in movement technique, but today, after a long period of practice, he finally achieved a unity of fist and body.

With the final step, Gao Wu returned to the starting position, made a finishing movement, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He looked at Song Mingyue with a face full of joy and said with emotion, "It wasn't easy, but you've finally mastered the fist technique!"
