The Supreme One

Chapter 42: Great Improvement of Knowledge during the Strengthening Period

Realizing the importance of the problem he was facing, Sheng Wuya finally started to pay attention.

I didn't fully recover after five days of rest, but I still worked hard as a tool man on weekends.

With his help, after looking at a large number of platforms related to books on the physical fitness period, although Xia Xian still could not see the distribution pattern of these platforms, he roughly knew the classification of the platforms for books on the physical fitness period from the existing data.

The first category is the platform that Xia Xian saw at the beginning. Placed on it are the books written by mortals who were trapped in the physical strengthening period throughout their lives and collected after their death.

After Xia Xian looked at several platforms of this type, he roughly knew that the time period collected by this platform should be ten years.

For every mortal in the physical training period who dies within ten years, the books he wrote throughout his life will be collected on a platform.

But even if Sheng Wuya read the books on each platform in order, he could not see the temporal continuity of the books on these platforms.

Although Sheng Wuya followed Xia Xian's instructions and jumped to look at the platforms with relatively fewer books, his direction was constantly downward in this huge tree hole space.

Not to say that the time interval should be completely coherent, but at least it shouldn't jump back and forth.

The first platform for collecting data after the death of mortals during the physical strengthening period that Xia Xian looked at was a thousand years ago, the next one jumped to three thousand years ago, but the next one jumped to six hundred years ago.

This distribution pattern also made Xia Xian completely give up on looking for the rules.

It can only be a pity for Sheng Wuya, the human book search machine, but seeing his appearance, Xia Xian seems to gradually enjoy it.

Although the irregularity of time made Xia Xian feel a little uncomfortable, it did not affect his absorption of knowledge.

And most of the content becomes more and more repeated the further you read.

The physical fitness techniques that humans practice today have actually been passed down for countless years, but have not changed much.

Perhaps in the eyes of those capable and powerful people, this training route that has continued for countless years has proven its effectiveness with facts, so even if there are some areas for improvement, there seems to be no need to waste time on special promotion.

So when looking at these books accumulated by generations of human beings, what Xia Xian saw was countless people constantly stepping on the same place.

Occasionally, a few people would come up with some inspiration and improvements, but they would only leave insignificant traces in their own record books.

Some of them may teach it to their children, but more people even choose to doubt themselves.

There are so many powerful people in the world, how could they not know this little trick?

Why didn’t others discover it before I did?

Is it that my body is unique, or is there something wrong with this kind of improvement?

It seems that there is some improvement after the potential has been exhausted, but in fact, if used on children of the prime age, it may even damage their potential?

Such questions kept them tossing and turning during countless nights throughout their long years.

In the end, most people still fear the strong and doubt their own correctness.

But Xia Xian, who had read so many books, knew that people didn't care about this small improvement at all.

For those who have become strong, there will basically be no problem for their descendants to become cultivators. So why would they go back and spend a lot of time to deeply study the knowledge of the physical strengthening period?

Moreover, combined with the notes of some monks that Xia Xian had read before, he also knew the differences in the development of ideology in this world.

Even if a spiritual or physical skill is taught to different people, different perceptions and results will occur because of different people.

A world of practitioners, a world where the great path of the future lies in comprehending the Way of Heaven, naturally emphasizes comprehension and experience, but pays little attention to research and deduction.

What they need is a flash of inspiration, not a sudden burst of success.

This may also be because the monks' long lives mean that they do not need to accumulate knowledge specifically.

As time goes by, they will naturally accumulate a lot of knowledge, so why do they need to read so many irrelevant and unimportant books?

Of course, there may also be outliers like library owners.

Xia Xian also roughly understood the meaning of what he called "waste". Those who waste their lives without actively studying, even if they have high talent for cultivation, are indeed a bit of a waste for an oddball like him who likes to read books to enrich himself.

Xia Xian naturally would not have the concerns of his predecessors who were afraid of the strong. As long as he saw knowledge that might be useful, he would absorb it without hesitation.

With the accumulation of so many predecessors, even if their basic points are the same, there are enough people to touch farther boundaries, allowing Xia Xian to understand more possibilities of physical fitness techniques.

From the first platform for collecting information after the death of mortals in the physical strengthening period, Xia Xian learned about the connection between the digestive system and the physical strengthening technique, and successfully created version 3.1 of the physical strengthening technique.

In the following platforms of this type, Xia Xian discovered that not only the digestive system is positively correlated with physical fitness, but in fact all internal organs are positively correlated with physical fitness!

Of course Xia Xian knew this at first. After all, the last stage of the physical strengthening period is to refine the internal organs, which are to be strengthened.

But the internal organs are too important and too fragile, so the practice is always done from the outside to the inside, steadily advancing layer by layer.

This may also be a concern of those senior masters who have developed body-building techniques.

When it comes to physical fitness for all mankind, safety and stability must of course come first.

However, as Xia Xian continued to learn, he realized that the internal organs are actually the key to limiting the limits of the human body!

The importance of internal organs is self-evident. If the body's strength is to be improved, the internal organs naturally need to be improved to a level that can be supported. Otherwise, the body will naturally be restricted or even harmed.

The human body is originally an integrated whole. When practicing the skin, flesh, tendons and bones, the internal organs are actually improved as well, but obviously not as high as the effect of special improvement.

In this way, there is a limit to the improvement of the human body at any given time.

The rest time after this limit is actually equivalent to an increase in physical strength, which puts pressure on the internal organs.

When the pressure is applied to the internal organs, they will be forced to increase their strength in daily work, thus increasing their strength to a level that can support the physical body.

As for the final stage of the body-strengthening technique, which was to refine the internal organs, Xia Xian also went back and studied it carefully, and found that he had gained more.

The original method of strengthening the internal organs is to achieve the effect of strengthening the internal organs through various specific breathing frequencies, muscle movement postures, trembling frequencies, etc.

There are various different body-strengthening techniques and methods of refining the internal organs, all of which are borrowed from the cultivation methods of other races.

Correspondingly, the efficiency is not high and they have different focuses.

Even the Vajra Body Training Technique, which is most suitable for humans, cannot strengthen the internal organs in all aspects. The main strengthened parts are the heart and lungs.

The other internal organs are also improved accordingly.

Based on this important discovery, Xia Xian continued to absorb the experience of these predecessors in the Body Building Period, while also deeply studying the platform of books related to the second category of the Body Building Period.

The second type of platform is for books related to the physical strengthening period. The books placed there are actually various methods of cultivation for the physical strengthening period.

The difference of this type of platform does not lie in the classification of time, but in the difference of cities.

These books on different platforms are collected from different cities.

In other words, it should have been collected from schools and training halls in different cities.

After all, if there are people in a city who occasionally study the art of physical fitness, there are only two places: the academy and the training hall.

Moreover, these platforms not only include cities in the Sen tribe’s territory, but also books related to cities ruled by other races are collected.

Behind this, there must be an organization sharing resources.

But this also made Xia Xian feel confused.

These books have been collected, but no one has studied them carefully.

Or maybe these people have actually done some research but just haven't made it public. After all, although the vast majority of people here are humans, it is still the territory of the Sen tribe.

Do humans actually have their own territory?

With such doubts, Xia Xian continued to learn and absorb the knowledge from these books.

By reading the books on these platforms, Xia Xian also roughly understood the differences.

Although there are many body-strengthening techniques in these cities, they were all the same at the beginning and should have been sent out in batches by those big guys.

But in the days that followed, everyone had their own development and changes.

Even though no one specialized in physical fitness techniques, it still took too long.

Even if a few words were changed over thousands of years, the accumulation would make the physical fitness techniques of each city significantly different.

Each version of these physical fitness techniques was also recorded and collected.

And fortunately, the book-writing style of this world means that Xia Xian doesn't need to explore the secrets behind the modifications himself.

These people who edit the books will write down why they made the changes, or what they felt when they made the changes.

In the end, Xia Xian was able to come to a conclusion, which was still the accumulation of experience that came to him in a flash of inspiration!

Different people have different spiritual inspirations, which accumulate over time and lead to the same original physical fitness technique developing into different versions in different cities.

In fact, the starting point for some flashes of inspiration is the same, which is to improve the effect of cultivation in a certain way. However, because people are different, the direction of modification to achieve such improvement is also different.

Some people changed their breathing rate a little bit, some changed the angle of movement a little bit, and some were more complicated by adding vibration of a certain muscle.

However, because everyone made changes in different directions and achieved similar results, other people would naturally be confused when they saw it, and perhaps could only sigh.

"The Way of Heaven is so great that all things return to one!"

This is a note that Xia Xian saw in a book. Obviously, this person has also read a lot of different versions of physical fitness techniques, and then he expressed such emotion.

These physical strengthening techniques, even though they have different optimization directions, are not so easy to combine.

Even some modifications, when combined, can have the opposite effect.

This also made it impossible for the predecessors to find the direction of integration, and they could only let it be.

But in the eyes of Xia Xian, who has read countless books related to the physical strengthening period and roughly knows the essence of the physical strengthening technique, he can see the principles behind every change.

Only by starting from the principles can we thoroughly combine the experiences of our predecessors!

The last category of the physical fitness related book platform is all kinds of fantastic and unsystematic books.

Even the books on these platforms cannot be called books.

Many of them are just a few or a dozen pages scattered around.

The slightly thicker part on top is the method of practicing a single physical strengthening technique.

This kind of cultivation method is mostly a flash of inspiration for various people.

Some monks in the hunting team saw a monster doing strange movements, but found that they could learn from it and use it to strengthen certain parts of the body.

Some are insights gained from seeing certain spiritual beasts or alien races.

They are all scattered and strange ideas.

It cannot be said to be useless, but it is obviously not very useful. However, it was still collected by the group of collectors, and the quantity is not small.

The platforms of books related to these three types of physical fitness techniques contain a large number of different versions of physical fitness techniques, plus a large amount of experience of predecessors in practicing various versions of physical fitness techniques. These combined allow Xia Xian to be completely immersed in them.

The spiritual light of every different person seemed to converge on Xia Xian, making him realize that the practice in the body-strengthening period was so complicated and magnificent.

Compared with the two subsequent realms of simply absorbing spiritual energy, Xia Xian felt that the complexity of the physical strengthening period seemed far beyond his imagination.

He gets a lot of inspiration every day.

He understood the secrets and integrated them into his own knowledge system, allowing his body-building techniques to continuously improve and evolve.

After a whole semester, Xia Xian felt as if he had completely lost touch with the world.

The whole person is completely immersed in his own world, and a large amount of knowledge about the physical strengthening period is constantly surging, colliding and generating in his mind.

Completely absorbing the knowledge of these predecessors even allowed Xia Xian to take his understanding of the human body to a higher level.

The body strengthening period is a state that is closely related to the mysteries of the human body.

The more you understand the human body, the more powerful body-building techniques you can create.

If Xia Xian had accumulated basic knowledge about the human body in the previous twelve years, then the one and a half years in this school was a successful sublimation of his basic knowledge of the human body.

What is sublimated is the basic knowledge of human body strengthening!

How can the human body be strengthened, how can it be strengthened, and what methods are there to strengthen it...

All of this is the result of his accumulation over the past twelve years.

It was equivalent to completely opening a door to his original world, allowing him to steadily walk into the next world.

And because of the large collection of books in the library, in just half a year, he read more books than he had in the past thirteen years combined.

Fortunately, the study habits he had developed in the past and the knowledge base he had accumulated prevented him from being confused by the impact of this knowledge.

But today's brain doesn't seem to have more space to think about anything else.
