Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 575 Division (Part 3)

Thus, Jingtian Manor completely split up, leaving only its name.

Leaving aside Jiuquyuan and Piaoxueyuan.

The manor lord, Zhao Ziyang, and the deputy manor lord, Guan Chan, control the manor lord's faction and maintain the nominal name of Jingtian Manor.

The Yangzhi Academy, together with the Arc Cinema, formed a faction that was extremely hostile to the government army.

The Reprinting Academy, the Phoenix Academy, and the Arc Cinema have formed an alliance, which is the strongest alliance.

In just a few dozen days, Jingtian Manor split into four familiar yet unfamiliar factions from the previously renowned Jingtian Seven Academies and Jingtian Seven Heroes.

The situation changed too quickly, like a fleeting glimpse of a scene leaving no time to think, or like a profusion of flowers trying to bewitch the mind. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be: chaos!

The split of Jingtian Manor not only involves the division of its seven major branches, but also forces all the martial arts forces, large and small, around Huayang City to make a choice and choose sides.

The endless infighting and fighting began at this time.

What were once acquaintances, good people, and close friends were torn apart by the overwhelming force of this event.

As long as they belong to different camps, their relationship can only be that of strangers, or even enemies.

Not taking sides means death; not having a strong protector also means death.

Just like the Divine Gun Tower, after losing Ye Tianjun, it was quickly divided and devoured in this great tide.

The more blood is shed, the more hatred grows.

Therefore, the conflict between the seven Jingtian academies seems to have gradually reached an irreconcilable stage.

Of course, these things have little to do with the Nine Turns Sect, which stays out of worldly affairs and avoids conflict.

The place still maintains a quiet, peaceful, and harmonious atmosphere.

Under the orders of Zhong Yunxiu and Gongsun Jing, buildings were constructed one after another in the Wangshan area.

It shall serve as a resting place for the disciples.

During this period, batches of disciples' families came to join them, which gradually made the originally desolate and remote Wangshan Mountain lively again.

Han Yi was not idle either. He was in charge of the Qiyun Mountain industry, where a large amount of materials were produced and then transported to Wangshan for supply.

The martial arts school, which had previously consumed a lot of his energy and resources, also played a significant role.

A number of talented and capable disciples emerged during this process, sharing a significant amount of the pressure.

However, for Han Yi, these matters were trivial and not worth his attention. The real big deal was that he had finally obtained the final two levels of the Nine-Bend Cold Yin Palm technique…

This was the key to his entry into the Inscription stage, and also the final step that prevented him from becoming a Grandmaster.

afternoon.

The sun is high.

"Extreme mastery of internal energy, etched into bone structure, achieving true physical form, a grandmaster emerges...?!"

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting diamond-shaped spots of light into the room and casting shadows on the desk.

Han Yi lay on a recliner, holding a black secret book in his hand, with a fragrant aroma wafting from the teacup beside him.

Under the desk, there was a round metal container containing a huge block of ice, emitting wisps of cool air, just like a miniature refrigerator from my past life.

This thing is actually a byproduct of his recent daily training and practice of strengthening his internal energy.

After revealing his true cultivation level to his master Zhong Yunxiu, he became unrestrained and began to train his strength and increase his control according to the contents of the secret manual.

Concentrating energy to freeze water and make ice is just one simple example.

These secret manuals contain many tips and tricks, and Han Yi randomly selected a few to use for daily practice.

What concerned him most was actually the content about the Inscription Period in the secret manual.

According to the secret manual, after cultivating the True Skill Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm to the seventh level, all subsequent cultivation is actually preparation for breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

The first step is the age limit. Martial artists must reach the seventh level before the age of thirty, before their qi and blood decline, before they can talk about the next step.

Han Yi had no problem with the first step, since he was older in mental age, not in physical bone age.

The second step, after reaching the seventh level of true skill, requires the martial artist to reach the realm of subtle internal energy, which is a prerequisite for engraving bone patterns.

To put it simply, "mastering the subtlety of force" means raising the control of force to its limit, reaching a level where one can precisely input and output force down to the millimeter.

Putting aside everything else, Han Yi's greatest strength lies in his comprehension. He is able to cultivate so many external and internal martial arts while maintaining his internal balance. Therefore, this step is no problem for him either.

The most difficult part is the third step.

The third step is to inscribe bone patterns, cultivate the true body, and become a martial arts master.

With subtle and profound strength, combined with the blood and ink of spirit beasts, and inscribed with the true body's bone patterns, one can condense the true strength of a master, return to simplicity, and naturally sublimate one's strength.

The incantation in this secret manual may sound extremely simple, but in reality, it is incredibly difficult.

Take the "Shattered Ice Body" recorded in the secret manual, which has no supernatural powers or bonuses, for example. It requires eighteen bone patterns to be engraved in the body, limbs and bones.

These bone patterns are created by engraving sixteen bones in specific locations on the surface of the body's skeleton using force as a guide and blood ink as a base.

Then, the sixteen bone patterns connect together to form a whole, reshaping the foundation and sublimating the essence, which can be considered as the initial entry into the Grandmaster realm.

During this period, Han Yi actually devoted most of his time to condensing bone patterns.

According to records, he started with the most basic and fundamental first true body bone pattern.

But as soon as he began to condense, he realized that something was amiss.

The bone patterns are created by using internal force as a catalyst, and combining blood and blood ink as materials for engraving. Blood ink is relatively easy to obtain; although it's expensive, it's always available.

Qi and blood are different. In the end, qi and blood are the foundation of a martial artist, the basis of everything.

Therefore, the amount of vital energy that can be consumed when engraving bone patterns is limited, and it cannot damage the root.

However, the process of engraving bone patterns requires a large amount of qi and blood.

Therefore, other martial arts practitioners who train their internal organs need several days to recover after each inscription of bone patterns, and they need to take secret medicine pills to replenish their qi and blood.

But Han Yi was different.

The two sets of blood vessels and meridians generated by the Heaven-Mending Technique gave him an astonishing amount of Qi and blood reserves, as well as an unparalleled recovery speed.

Compared to other inscription martial artists, he could inscribe for over an hour without stopping. Furthermore, his recovery period afterward only required a single night to generate sufficient qi and blood. This meant that his inscription progress was more than twice as fast as other martial artists.

Even so, it took Han Yi a full month to complete only a quarter of the first bone pattern.

This is already at maximum efficiency; among other rune masters, they are among the fastest.

However, according to this calculation, it would take four months to complete just one bone pattern.
