I can travel a million miles

Chapter 120 Foundation Building
half a month later.

Ningfeng City, land of the Lu family.

In the deepest retreat room, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him, a blood-colored ruler was constantly circling and dancing around his body, showing a sense of agility. It wasn't Chen Mu's control, it was just that this magic weapon was spinning by itself.

Its spirituality is so strong that it is almost self-aware.

of course.

This is just its appearance.

Although the blood jade ruler is extremely agile, it does not have the ability to communicate with people. Although its spirituality is high, there is still an essential gap from 'spiritual wisdom'.

But even so, this magic weapon still amazed Chen Mu. It took him nearly half a month to refine this magic weapon.

However, his level of refinement is already much deeper than that of Dead Li.

Dead Li is just a human-level demon, and there is already a level gap between him and the second-grade magician in terms of realm, not to mention the difference in the exploration of dao marks.

Previously, the refinement of the dead li can be said to be extremely rough, and it was only forcibly infecting and controlling it with its own breath, but it was completely ignorant of the specific structure and dao marks of this magic weapon.

It's like a crossbow arrow, it should be shooting out a crossbow arrow, but the usage of Dead Li is like swinging the crossbow directly to hit people!

"My previous judgment should be correct. The sorcerer lineage should have a complete cultivation system, and this magic weapon is an extension of that cultivation system."

"I just don't know why, but this cultivation system has not been handed down in the world. I don't know how many magicians have gone on to explore it for thousands of years, but they have not been able to catch any traces."

Chen Mu murmured in his heart.

If he was only skeptical before, now he is almost sure that there must be a magician's training system in this world, or a training system similar to a magician's.

This system is more complete than martial arts, and it is also wider than martial arts. It leads to a vast and unpredictable world, and you can see the tip of the iceberg from this magic weapon.

But such a system has completely disappeared in the world today.

What happened thousands of years ago?
After Chen Mu pacified Nanli, he also traveled all over Nanli within a few days, and explored a lot of Nanli's history. The history here can be traced back to about a thousand years ago. It is similar to Dayuan, and it was also disconnected at that location. The history before that is all in a fog, and the truth cannot be seen clearly.

Chen Mu finally shook his head.

Bend a little.

The circling blood jade ruler stopped suddenly, and then sank into his sleeve.

When I was about to stand up.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in my ear.

[Hint: You got 22 soul points]

The sudden acquisition of soul points made Chen Mu slightly startled, but soon he thought of something, turned on his spirit vision and glanced outside, and immediately showed a little stunned look.

Li Chenxing has entered the product.

With him as a second-rank artist as a teacher, and enjoying many resources in the Lu family, coupled with his own extremely high talent, in just over a month, he stepped into the ninth rank of martial arts and passed the first level. threshold.

Li Chenxing's realm had made a breakthrough, and the obsession with his dead soul naturally dissipated a little, so he gained some soul points.

After Chen Mu thought for a while, he retracted his gaze and called out the system interface.

【Name: Chen Mu】

【Age: 17】

[Force: Power of the Sixteen Elephants]

[Heart and soul: Chu Ling lv48 (+)]

[Soul points: 57 points]

After pacifying Nanli, he gained a lot of soul points and raised his heart and soul level to lv48, which is only a little short of lv49.

Li Chenxing's breakthrough allowed him to gain a little more. Together, it was just enough to make up the last brick for his realm, allowing him to push the level of the second-grade magician to perfection.

Nor did he hesitate too much.

With a thought, Chen Mu directly chose to upgrade.

hum!
With golden light flashing.

It is that familiar cool texture again, emerging from the depths of the heart and soul, nourishing the whole heart and soul from the inside out, making it slowly move towards the apex of this level.

If Chen Mu's power of heart and soul is described as a ball of water, then when he just broke through to the second-grade level, the water was barely gathered into a round shape. Although it maintained a perfect round shape, it was missing something, just Maintain an outline.

But as the strength of the heart and soul gradually increased, this round outline was gradually filled.

until this moment.

After the level of the heart and soul was raised from lv48 to lv49, the last brick of cultivation was added, and the whole heart and soul finally reached perfection. It no longer revolved around a round outline, but completely transformed itself into a round shape. No more blemishes.

But this is just a mysterious and mysterious artistic conception. Although Chen Mu managed to find the word 'full circle' to describe it, he still couldn't describe it accurately.

at last.

The soul regained its stability.

Chen Mu has also reached the pinnacle of the second-grade artist, and there is no flaw in his heart and soul.

But at this time, something strange happened.

From stepping into the second rank, Chen Mu could feel that he was gradually becoming more and more complete at every small step, especially the previous step, the feeling was even stronger.

Theoretically speaking, after taking this step, the heart and soul should reach lv49, and they should have completely stepped on the last step, and can feel the pure meaning of roundness.

But the fact is just the opposite!

After stepping into this level, although the meaning of completeness is still there, the previous feeling of stepping towards perfection has disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of emptiness.

It is obvious that he is a real body of flesh and blood, and that his heart and soul are already perfect, but it seems that everything inside is an empty shell and nothingness.

"strangeness……"

A strange look flashed in Chen Mu's eyes.

He didn't feel that his strength had weakened, and even after reaching the peak of a second-grade sorcerer, his soul power had increased by at least [-]%, which was another small leap.

But the increase in strength did not bring a sense of satisfaction, but only a feeling of emptiness, as if something was missing in my body, something that could be filled.

"What's lacking... is the realm of martial arts?"

Chen Mu murmured.

Somehow, it seems to be so, but vaguely, it seems that it is not quite so.

A lot of random thinking made Chen Mu feel a little irritable, but he quickly calmed down again, and then examined his own state.

His Martial Dao realm is only one line away from the fourth rank.

Although it has only been two months since he stepped into the fifth rank, during this period of time he has successively surpassed the third and second ranks of the sorcerer, and he has never stopped tempering his physical body.

How powerful is the mind and soul of a second-rank magician?
The aura of heaven and earth that can be mobilized almost swept across a radius of ten miles, and the speed of tempering the body completely reached the limit of the body itself!
For today's Chen Mu, he can even directly catalyze an ordinary person to a fourth-grade physical body in just a few days!
But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the physical body must be able to withstand this kind of promotion.

This is obviously impossible.

It is impossible for anyone to bear it, not even the physique of a monster. Forcibly raising the height will only make the body go to an unbearable extreme in a short period of time, and then completely collapse.

Therefore, Chen Mu also had to upgrade according to his body's tolerance limit, and from the fifth rank of martial arts to the fourth rank, it would take nearly two months for his body to gradually bear it at the fastest.

A few days ago, Chen Mu's body had already reached the threshold of the fourth rank.

It's almost there now.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mu finally sat down cross-legged, and decided to elevate the realm of martial arts to the fourth rank, breaking the boundary of physical inhumanity.

Although the fourth grade of martial arts is nothing to him at all, he vaguely feels that after breaking through this limit, some changes may occur.

Four products.

Inhumane.

As the name suggests, this is a transformation from a mortal to an inhuman. Once this step is taken, the body will have various incredible abilities, such as being able to feed grains, not drinking or eating, and only breathing out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In addition, the will to martial arts that has been honed since the sixth rank will be fully formed at the fourth rank. Warriors define this step as "stepping out of one's own way"!
Martial arts is an empty concept.

Everyone's martial arts will is different.

The sixth rank of martial arts is to set a prototype of one's own martial arts, the fifth rank of martial arts is to complete this prototype, and the fourth rank is to really take that step forward and walk on the path set by oneself!
Chen Mu had determined a long time ago that the Heart Sword could perfectly replace the Will of Martial Arts.

In other words, Xinjian seems to be the superior of martial arts will, which is fundamentally purer and clearer than the hazy and vague martial arts will.

Chen Muwei closed his eyes, opened his spirit vision, and everything in his body came into view.

It can be seen that every blood vessel in his body is rushing with gurgling plasma, and the thick true essence is continuously swallowed from the internal organs, and penetrates into the limbs and bones along with the meridians.

"Gather!"

With the movement of Chen Mu's thoughts.

The thick true essence gathered from the limbs towards the center of the body, and came to the heart, as if turning into a bright lamp, lighting up the whole heart.

Plop, plop,

Every time the heart beats, it becomes heavy, but every time it beats, it seems to drive the blood vessels and meridians of the whole body to light up, one bright and one dark.

I don't know how long it took.

The true energy in the heart seemed to be brewing to the limit, and it spread out all of a sudden, from the heart to the spleen, then the two lungs, then the kidneys, finally the liver, and then back to the heart.

They light up one by one according to the order of the five elements. At this moment, the five internal organs in the body are like five bright lights, illuminating the limbs and bones, and illuminating every meridian and blood vessel.

If you stand next to Chen Mu and look, you can see Chen Mu at this moment, with a little bit of fluorescence emerging from the whole body. This light seeps out from the body, and the inside of the body seems to be lit with a lamp.

The five elements are born together.

The light of the five internal organs is always bright!

And the countless spreading blood vessels and meridians, with every beat of the heart, are constantly on and off, showing the principle of alternation of yin and yang.

That is to say, in this constant flickering, Chen Mu's vision suddenly appeared a little trance, and what was in front of him was no longer the situation in his own body, but suddenly became pitch black.

Darkness obscures all sight.

Can't see five fingers.

Everything in the world seems to have disappeared at once, only I am constantly floating in this nothingness, without knowing where I came from or where I am going.

"Illusion? No..."

Chen Mu showed a thoughtful look.

If you are a martial artist, facing this situation, you may be confused for a short time. This is what you will encounter when you break through to the fourth rank. Many martial artists call it a mental barrier.

To break through the fourth rank of martial arts, one must not only complete the sublimation of the body, but also use the martial arts will that one has honed to break through one's own mental barriers.

In this process, the will must be extremely firm, even the slightest hesitation and hesitation towards oneself will lead to the failure of the clearance!

Once you fail, not only your consciousness will be traumatized, but your body will also be greatly affected. The true essence will flow backwards, and the meridians will become disordered and vomit blood, and the most serious will be death on the spot!
Martial arts, fifth grade is easy, fourth grade is difficult!

I don't know how many fifth grades are trapped in front of this threshold.

Now that Chen Mu has come here, he finally understands why this step is so difficult for warriors, because this is not an illusion, but the deepest part of the soul.

Here, any slightest emotion will be infinitely magnified.

Any wave of thought, any trace of memory will form an impression of the past here, and it will be clearly displayed in front of your eyes.

The anger of the past, the unwillingness of the past, the anger of the past, the fear of the past... including all the things that are unwilling to recall, cannot be hidden here, they will all be displayed.

Which warrior has never had fear?
Who has never felt angry?

Even the true biography of the eight major sects like Lin Yue has fought step by step from the weak period, and has experienced all kinds of hardships, and there must be all kinds of things that he doesn't want to remember.

And all of this must be broken here and stick to one's own heart.

Chen Mu also understood why martial artists should sharpen the so-called will of martial arts, because the will of martial arts is the direction, guiding oneself, the firmer and stronger it is, the more stable the heart can be here.

But he doesn't need these.

As a sorcerer, as a second-grade sorcerer, he is at the peak of the celestial phenomena realm, his heart and soul are perfectly round, there is no single distracting thought in his heart, and every thought can be freely controlled.

All the past, all the memories, can't make waves in his heart at all.

If a second-grade sorcerer has reached the state of completeness and unity of heart and soul, and can't break through a mere heart barrier, then it will be a big joke in the world!

"Break it."

Chen Mu shook his head lightly.

It didn't take any effort at all, just such a simple thought, the endless darkness in front of his eyes was like a mirror, with cracks appearing.

boom!
The whole world collapses.

What appeared after the darkness collapsed was an endless white, with no end in sight.

In the center of this endless whiteness, there is a sword floating. Its majesty and vastness seem to stretch the sky and the earth, but it is small but it seems that it can be contained in the fingers with a single thought.

It seems to be in a distant place, looking at the sword, and it seems that I am the sword itself, as if I am looking at myself.

"Do I still need to make a choice?"

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

Then he raised his hand lightly, and the Heart Sword fell into his palm without a sound, and he waved it casually.

hum!
A crack suddenly appeared, running through the entire white world.

He has already chosen to use the sword as the way, so naturally he will not change anything, not to mention using the heart as the sword, in Chen Mu's view, it is the right way to point directly to the way.

Crash.

The world in front of him was finally completely broken, and his consciousness left the depths of his heart and returned to himself.

Chen Mu in the closed room opened his eyes again.

Looking at his body again, he saw that in his body, the heart beat faster and faster, and the alternation of light and dark in the meridians and blood vessels of the whole body also became faster and faster with the heartbeat.

Gradually, light and darkness seem to blend with each other like yin and yang, and begin to be indistinguishable from each other.

boom.

As if something broke.

Chen Mu felt that his body seemed to have finally broken some kind of shackles at this moment!

From beating violently, the heart stopped suddenly, stopped for two breaths, then started beating again, and immediately returned to a steady state.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth captured by Chen Mu's soul power began to pour into Chen Mu's body crazily as if being drawn by some kind, causing Chen Mu's body to transform rapidly.

In a very short period of time, the true essence has nearly doubled, and it is still improving.

There is almost no filth in Chen Mu's body, but this is maintained by the power of the magician. But now, every cell in his body is transforming on its own. There will be no more dust, no more filth.

of course.

These are not the most important.

The most important thing is that Chen Mu had a wonderful feeling, as if he had finally settled on something in the dark, which made the previous feeling of nothingness suddenly fade a lot.

"Not human..."

"No, there should be a more suitable name for this realm."

Chen Mu murmured in his heart.

While the physical body has completed its transformation, it has also established the foundation of taking the heart and sword as the way. The warriors call this realm inhuman, which is a step in the dragon's gate, but in his opinion, it is more like a starting point.

For a while, many nouns came to mind in Chen Mu's mind, such as 'Xiantian', 'Daoji', etc., but in the end there was only one of these words left.

"Perhaps it should be called... Foundation Establishment?"

The emergence of this idea made Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the wonderful artistic conception that his heart and soul are now perfectly round and yet empty.

If you can have a strong enough true essence as the foundation, and then gather the power of your heart and soul, you can combine the path you have stepped on, your own destiny, and everything in one place, and gather them into an infinitesimal point, so that the meaning of roundness can be transformed from nothingness. Realization, perhaps will produce a qualitative leap.

There is a premonition in the dark,
This may be the right direction.

Chen Mu's thoughts wandered for a while, but he quickly restrained his thoughts, because although he had a strange association, he couldn't put it into practice now.

It can be clearly felt that the realm of the physical body is too low, and it is far from reaching that level. I am afraid that it must reach the realm of "harmony between man and nature", which is equal to the soul and soul, before it can try.

The unity of man and nature of heart and soul is a celestial phenomenon and a second-grade magician.

The unity of nature and man in the body is a first-rank martial saint.

What makes Chen Mu quite helpless is that it is really difficult for him to catch up with the level of a sorcerer in the realm of martial arts.

Even if he is a second-rank magician, his cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary warriors, and the speed of improvement after fourth-rank martial arts will drop a lot.

Judging from the current situation, it may take at least a year for martial arts cultivation to be promoted to the third rank, and the second rank will undoubtedly take longer, and the first rank is even far away.

In comparison, with the existence of a system, his sorcerer realm may break through to the first rank soon.

A thought moves.

Chen Mu called out the system interface, but found that the system interface had changed slightly.

【Name: Chen Mu】

【Age: 17】

【Force: Power of Thirty Elephants】

[Boundary: Foundation Establishment]

[Heart and soul: Chu Ling lv49 (+)]

[Soul points: 8 points]

"Is there really an extra foundation-building realm?"

Chen Mu looked at the changes on the system interface, and after being slightly surprised, he showed a thoughtful expression.

I don't know if the system has been changed according to his ideas, or if this realm really has the name "Building a Foundation". Regardless of the former, if it is the latter...

Chen Mu fell into a moment of deep thought.

But without thinking for too long, he tried to improve his mind and soul, and then got a reminder that the soul points were insufficient, which also confirmed his previous thoughts.

Chuling lv49 is indeed the limit of a level, because the next step up does not consume 50 soul points, but a full 300 soul points!
This is obviously a huge span!

After thinking for a while, Chen Mu closed the system interface, then calmed down his thoughts, stood up, and exhaled lightly.

"It's time to go back."

It has been nearly a month since I came to Nanli, and I have done all the things that should be done. The realm has also been raised to the limit of the second-rank magician. It is meaningless to stay here, and it is time to return.

Nan Li and Da Yuan are relatively isolated, and he hasn't heard much news from Da Yuan in the past month, and he doesn't know how far the demon chaos has developed, but the world was still stable when he left, and it's only been a month now , there shouldn't be any big troubles.

Shaking his head slightly.

Chen Mu walked out of the retreat room.
