Journey Through the Heavens: Starting with Chinese Martial Arts!

The seekers failed to break through, and the purpose of Chen Jueshang and Chen Yuanhuang's visit came to an end.

Although I didn't get to witness the seeker break through to the Divine Strength realm, I did get to exchange martial arts techniques with many masters, so the trip wasn't in vain.

Carrying the body of the seeker, the two boarded a plane in Manila and returned home.

It took them more than two hours to land in Xiamen, and then they contacted a funeral home to arrange a burial for the seeker.

"When are you going back to the capital?" After the seeker's funeral, only the two of them were present. Chen Jueshang turned his head to look at Chen Yuanhuang beside him.

She was dressed quite formally, in a sharp suit, straight-leg trousers, her black hair tied in a ponytail, and black women's leather shoes, exuding a capable and efficient air.

"Let's go later," she said softly.

The two left.

Over the next few days, Chen Yuanhuang did not leave Xiamen. She bought a sea-view villa in the coastal area. Chen Jueshang did not know how late she would stay, but he did not ask too much and began to calm down.

After the Transformation Realm comes the Elixir Realm, which he hasn't figured out yet, but he practices it three times a day and occasionally writes and paints to cultivate his mind.

Of course, Chen Yuanhuang taught him all these skills.

Practicing martial arts requires not only diligent practice but also relaxation, cultivating inner qualities, and nurturing one's inner self. The intent of the fist should not only be expressed outwards but also restrained inwards.

Seeing that he couldn't make a breakthrough in traditional Chinese martial arts in a short time, Chen Jueshang turned his attention to external martial arts, going to the beach every day to hone his body with the force of the waves.

He also bought a lot of medicinal herbs to make medicinal baths, which helped him recover his body while allowing the medicinal effects to penetrate his skin and stimulate his tendons. With his precise control of qi and blood, his physical body should be transformed again soon.

"You lack nothing, except the tempering between life and death, to use your qi and blood to stimulate your acupoints and precisely concentrate your blood and marrow in your dantian." Chen Yuanhuang saw through Chen Jueshang's problem at a glance.

She then shook her head: "Tsk tsk, it's a pity your physique is too strong. From Ming Jin to Hua Jin, I reckon you haven't experienced any decent combat."

"Now even the Gang Jin is no match for you, and the only Divine Jin is dead. It's basically impossible for you to fight to the death, experience the sublimation of a moment, and condense the true elixir."

Is it virtually impossible?

That means there are other possibilities.

Chen Jueshang stood on the beach, his legs submerged up to his knees in the sea. Waves crashed against him as he faced the ocean, his mind racing: "If I were in the sea, could I use the pressure of the water to glimpse the mysteries of Dan Jin?"

Seeing Chen Jueshang gazing at the sea with a flickering look in his eyes, Chen Yuanhuang instantly understood his plan, but she did not stop him.

It seems no one has tried to use seawater pressure to achieve a breakthrough, or perhaps someone tried but failed, or died in the sea.

But Chen Jueshang is different. He is physically strong and resilient, so he might succeed.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanhuang suddenly asked, "You want to use the pressure of seawater to help you break through?"

"Hmm." Chen Jueshang nodded, revealing nothing, "Since breaking through to the Dan Jin realm requires forcing oneself to embrace the Dan Jin realm through life-or-death battles to probe its depths, is it the same as using the pressure in the sea to force oneself to break through?"

Chen Yuanhuang smiled slightly: "That's a good idea, I'll help you."

After saying that, she took out her phone and made a call: "Uncle Fu, please prepare a speedboat to be transported to Xiamen. I need it."

"Yes, miss."

Chen Jueshang thought to himself, "No wonder she's a young lady from the capital!"

……

That night, Uncle Fu indeed delivered a speedboat and arranged for a professional, a young and beautiful woman, to assist on board.

Once the speedboat arrived, Chen Jueshang and Chen Yuanhuang boarded it that evening and, with the help of female professionals, arrived at a shallow sea area.

Then, Chen Jueshang took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of floral shorts. He tied a safety rope around his waist, made full preparations, and immediately jumped into the sea. He continued to sink.

Chen Yuanhuang leaned back on the speedboat, his phoenix eyes fixed on the safety rope. A female officer was also watching over him, ready to pull him up immediately in case of any emergency.

The sea was pitch black at night. If Chen Jueshang were a claustrophobic, he would probably have already passed out by now.

Visibility around Chen Jueshang was less than a meter, and below was a dark and gloomy expanse, as if some abyssal beast was lurking below, ready to suddenly pounce and swallow him whole at any moment.

Without wearing any diving equipment, Chen Jueshang continued to descend, holding his breath in his lungs to circulate oxygen and extend his diving time.

When Chen Jueshang dived to a depth of over 300 meters, he could feel the pressure of the seawater, which was increasing as he descended. His skin tightened, and his internal organs contracted, as if he were being gripped tightly by a giant hand.

Chen Jueshang did not stop and continued to sink. The deeper he sank, the greater the pressure became, and the greater the pressure on his entire body, as if something was squeezing him from all directions.

"That's about it." Chen Jueshang estimated the distance he had sunk to about 500 meters. If he sank any further, his internal organs might not be able to withstand the pressure and would rupture.

And he wasn't getting enough oxygen.

There were many sea fish swimming at this depth, in groups. Even though it was night, they posed no problem for Chen Jueshang. He immediately sat cross-legged and used his strength to prevent himself from sinking further.

As soon as Chen Jueshang circulated his Qi and blood, he suddenly felt that his previously smooth Qi and blood had become slightly sluggish. Upon careful observation, he discovered that although his Qi and blood were sluggish, they were also more condensed.

The medicinal properties that had been accumulating in the body were gradually broken down and absorbed by the cells under the intense pressure of the seawater. Some impurities that could not be absorbed were forcibly squeezed out of the body under this pressure.

Like a piece of forged iron, it is constantly being hammered, refined, and impurities removed.

Moreover, Chen Jueshang also vaguely felt that while his physical body was tensing up, his internal organs were also contracting and writhing, making him increasingly adept at controlling his qi and blood.

……

"It's time to go up, I'm almost out of breath." Chen Jueshang had been sitting cross-legged for a short while when he sensed the warning from his body. He opened his eyes again, gripped the safety rope, and began to swim upwards.

At the same time, the safety rope attached to the speedboat moved slightly, and the female officer immediately gripped the rope tightly and pulled upwards, but how could she possibly pull it up with her strength?

"Let me do it." Chen Yuanhuang said. The female agent quickly stepped aside and then pulled up with one hand gripping the safety rope.

With Chen Yuanhuang's strong pull and Chen Jueshang's rapid upstream speed, he soon emerged from the sea and climbed onto the speedboat. He was soaking wet, but his breathing was steady and long.

Chen Yuanhuang handed a towel to Chen Jueshang and asked, "How is it? Did it help?"

"Yes, it's a great help. The pressure of seawater is like a gravitational field. Not only can it temper the body, but it can also purify the blood and qi and remove impurities. It's a holy land for martial artists."

At this point, Chen Jueshang looked at Chen Yuanhuang and continued, "It should also be of some help to Dan Jin martial artists. Although it cannot help them break through, it will still lead to a considerable improvement over time."

"Let's go back then, it's getting late."
