Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 454 Pure Yang State (Part 1)

"The Three Yang Stance Technique has been mastered... which has increased my body's resistance to blunt weapons, thus making up for one of my major weaknesses..."

Han Yi slowly stood up, and with a 'thud,' casually tossed aside the heavy metal tablet that had hit his back.

The metal monument remained completely black, seemingly undamaged. However, if one were to reach out and touch it, one could feel that the spot where the monument struck Han Yi's back had become dented.

"Panel." With a thought, his personal information quickly appeared before his eyes.

[Auxiliary Training]: Heaven-Mending Technique (Fourth Level, Characteristics: Strengthening the Foundation, Returning to the Origin); Immaculate White Lotus Body (Immaculate Strength, Third Level, Characteristics: Avoiding Poison, Enhancing Poison Resistance, Invulnerable to All Poisons); Iron Armor Skill (Iron Armor Strength, Third Level Perfected, Characteristics: Resisting Sharp Weapons, Reflecting Shock); Three Yang Stance Skill (Three Yang Stance Strength, Third Level Perfected, Characteristics: Resisting Blunt Weapons, Rigid Body)

"When the Three Yang Stance Skill is mastered, it gains an additional rigidity characteristic... which is far more useful than the recoil characteristic produced after mastering the Iron Armor Skill..."

While Han Yi was checking the information on the panel, the Sanyang Stance on his back, which had temporarily loosened due to the impact of a heavy object, spontaneously gathered again, forming black lines that looked like steel bars and iron chains.

This is the effect of mastering the Three Yang Stance Technique, which provides excellent protection against various blunt objects.

At the same time, its rigid body properties greatly increase its resistance to various abnormal states such as dizziness, paralysis, and deceleration.

In other words, the Three Yang Stance Technique gave him a superior physical quality, but it did not help much in terms of increasing his internal strength reserves or power.

This is the difference between external and internal martial arts. The former's power is mostly used to strengthen oneself and is more defensive and passive, while the latter can be used to consume energy and fight, and can be used to actively attack, which is equivalent to the internal martial arts in my previous life.

Qi and blood are the source, and strength is the foundation.

Given the same amount of energy and blood being consumed, most people still tend to take the initiative to attack.

This is also a major reason why external martial arts training has never been valued.

After all, offense is always the best defense.

No matter how strong the defense is, if you can't break through someone's defenses, it's useless. In the end, you're just a clumsy, big guy who gets kited to death.

In addition, external martial arts like the Three Yang Stance Skill and Iron Armor Skill require an extremely long period of training and practice to reach mastery.

Take the Three Yang Stance Technique as an example. If an ordinary person wanted to cultivate it to Han Yi's current level, it would take at least twenty years of arduous practice to achieve perfection.

As for Iron Armor Skill, it might be slightly less difficult, but it still requires more than ten years of arduous training. Not to mention the resource consumption during this process, which is no less than that required for other internal skills of the same level.

It requires a lot of resources and takes a long time. By the time you reach the highest level of cultivation, you'll be too old to even lift a sword.

Throughout history, only those from impoverished backgrounds, with no other choice, and possessing great perseverance, have been able to master these external martial arts techniques to perfection.

Now, Han Yi has actually mastered several different external martial arts techniques to the highest level at the same time.

This is a path that has never been followed before or since.

"Not bad, this is one of the basic techniques that forms the framework of my external martial arts training, so there are no problems with it."

Han Yi closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched.

He could sense that the circulation of qi and blood within his body seemed somewhat off. Not exactly off, but his qi and blood were being consumed far too quickly.

Besides the Heaven-Mending Technique, he now possesses six martial arts skills, including true skills, external skills, and internal skills.

Although these techniques consume different amounts of qi and blood, they all require a certain amount of qi and blood at all times to maintain active strength.

In particular, the principles of those external martial arts are all based on activating certain forces to assist passive activities.

This raises a problem: there isn't enough vital blood and qi.

This is also the most critical drawback of those who practice martial arts as a side profession.

If one's qi and blood are depleted, no matter how strong one is or how many martial arts skills one possesses, one is like an engine without oil, completely at the mercy of others.

"Fortunately, I still have the Heaven-Mending Technique to increase my Qi and blood..." Han Yi shook his head slightly, suddenly feeling somewhat fortunate.

Back then, when resources were scarce and there was no way to obtain Yin energy, he resolutely deduced and cultivated the Heaven-Mending Technique. This was indeed a brilliant move.

Unlike internal strength cultivation, which can be achieved through the conversion of Qi and blood, increasing Qi and blood is only possible through a few rare medicinal herbs or by having exceptional innate talent; otherwise, there is no effective method.

The Heaven-Mending Technique provided him with assistance like an inexhaustible oil well, constantly providing him with fuel and power, increasing the engine's endurance.

"It's time to upgrade the level of the Heaven-Mending Technique..." he pondered, then focused his mind again.

The higher the level of martial arts cultivation, the slower the progress will inevitably become. This is a truth and common sense.

Even with the true skill of the Nine-Bend Palm of Cold Yin, progress is slow, but there are always changes. Now, at the fourth level of the Nine-Bend Palm, more than half of the energy has been accumulated.

But the Heaven-Mending Technique is different.

When Han Yi noticed that his meals were as lavish as the lunch he had eaten every day, but the Heaven-Mending Technique remained unchanged, he already knew what was going on.

The Heaven-Mending Technique has reached a point where it is imperative to forcefully deduce and break through.

The Yin energy that was deliberately left to be stored was all for the core cultivation, in preparation for the Heaven-Mending Technique.

The moment he pressed the deduction button, the square in front of him suddenly trembled.

Numerous blood-red patterns clearly appeared on Han Yi's body surface, including four aortas, dozens of branches, and billions of capillaries... all of which were clearly visible.

The countless blood sacs formed within his body by the Heaven-Mending Technique began to disintegrate instantly as blood vessels surfaced.

This is not a failure of deduction, but a deeper transformation.

The blood sac was originally just a fruit formed by the Heaven-Mending Technique collecting surplus blood and qi. Now, it has disintegrated, and countless blood-red filaments, like fruit seeds, are rapidly scattering at a speed beyond the human eye, taking root throughout his body. A strong sense of transformation immediately rose in Han Yi's heart. He could feel that this breakthrough seemed to be a qualitative leap in the Heaven-Mending Technique, extremely crucial.

The blood-red, silky seeds took root, sprouted, and grew, undergoing a dramatic transformation in just a few breaths.

Those were brand new, reconstructed blood vessels that spread throughout Han Yi's body, to every bone, muscle, and inch of skin.

"This is..." Han Yi closed his eyes and concentrated, his expression somewhat puzzled.

But before he could truly be puzzled, under the effect of the Heaven-Mending Technique, all the reconstructed blood vessels simultaneously plunged downwards!

Han Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and his body temperature dropped rapidly.
