Chapter 1181 Great Success in Supernatural Power, An Unexpected Joy (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The third ring.

The island that was once called No Return has now been renamed Lichen Island.

The implications are self-evident.

The island is scenic.

Two men and one woman sat down and discussed philosophy.

The topics discussed were all about martial arts training and martial arts philosophy.

"We martial artists, upon reaching the Human Immortal Realm, give birth to a Martial Dao Divine Intent. This will can make our originally ordinary innate Qi stronger and more dominant. This allows us to refine and add special external materials into it without affecting its properties, making it more in line with the characteristics of the Divine Intent. From my observation, Luo Chen, your Martial Dao Divine Intent seems to have already passed this stage?"

"Indeed, what I learned was passed down from an old friend before my ascension. Because the cultivation environment was different at that time, the resources were abundant. Moreover, that old friend cultivated both body and spirit, so he came up with the idea of ​​integrating external objects to enhance his innate qi very early on, and even put it into practice."

"Tsk tsk tsk, your old friend is quite a rare martial arts prodigy, actually able to think of the cultivation method for the Human Immortal Realm when he was at a low level."

After a slight pause, Gu Xun sighed and said, "If that's the case, then your cultivation at the Human Immortal realm will be much less troublesome. You won't have to search for suitable materials and try to refine and fuse them like we do."

Luo Chen smiled; he hadn't expected such a coincidence.

I have marveled before that Wang Yuan's "Divine Qi Battle Technique" is quite wondrous, as the Qi he cultivates can actually withstand head-on attacks from magical artifacts painstakingly crafted by cultivators.

It now appears that Wang Yuan has actually crossed several realms, having already begun part of the cultivation of the Human Immortal realm while still in the Furnace Realm.

Fang Qingxue, standing to the side, watched the martial arts deity that Luo Chen had released, and she too marveled at it.

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Luo, who is only at the initial stage of Human Immortal, would have such profound knowledge as I am at the mid-stage of Human Immortal!"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

While Luo Chen was curious, Fang Qingxue closed her eyes.

Then, a radiant light emanated from her forehead, and a tiny figure, remarkably similar in appearance to hers but with features shrunk many times over, flew out.

That is her martial arts spirit!

“Fellow Daoist, look, martial arts gods like you and me are the mark of the mid-stage of Human Immortal.”

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

His cultivation progress is indeed different from that of ordinary martial artists!

Not only did he complete the fusion of external objects into his Qi ahead of schedule, but he also completed the formation of a martial arts deity when he broke through to the Human Immortal Realm.

Fang Qingxue retrieved her own martial arts spirit and then gave Luo Chen a complete overview of the orthodox martial arts cultivation process.

"The first stage of body refinement involves tempering the physical body until reaching the Vajra Realm. Only in this way can the physical body withstand the internal changes of qi and blood that a martial artist undergoes. Of course, while refining qi and blood, the martial artist's physical body will also become stronger accordingly. Some exceptionally talented individuals can even condense a Great Vajra Realm physique in addition to qi and blood. My late ancestor was such an amazing person."

"The second stage of body refinement goes without saying. After completing the transformation of qi and blood, one then forms the elixir and transforms the body into a furnace. Once this stage is reached, one can absorb and refine external energy, bringing great power into oneself. In order to prevent the great power from leaking out, and also to prevent the outside world from interfering with the martial artist, it is necessary to master the opening and closing of acupoints. When one has perfect control over the opening and closing of the physical body, one reaches the state of no leakage."

“Cultivating the realm of flawlessness involves two aspects: accumulating energy and strengthening one’s own internal energy, and comprehending the divine intent of martial arts. Such a thing is difficult to do with the help of others. My Fang family has many descendants and many geniuses, and we have an ancestor to oversee things, but over the years, only I, as a descendant, have comprehended the divine intent of martial arts.”

At this point, Fang Qingxue thought of someone and couldn't help but sigh.

"That guy from Zhuoshi was actually the one we had the highest hopes for before. But his ambitions were too great, and he directly cultivated the terrifying chaotic energy into chaotic qi. He even successfully took the first step, allowing his body to adapt to the chaotic energy. But while this qi is powerful, it's simply wishful thinking to comprehend his own martial arts divine intent from such a complex combination of energy!"

Luo Chen also remembered the short old man.

The opponent's first and last move actually shattered his blood-stained robe and even allowed his own internal energy to pass through his fifth-tier physical body!
This demonstrates the formidable power of the opponent's chaotic qi.

The power of that move must have reached the level of a strike from a human immortal, which is why it was able to arouse his blood-refining divine energy to resist, and ultimately help him successfully comprehend the "selfless divine will".

Luo Chen didn't know if his opponent had achieved his wish before he died, but he felt sorry for such a good opponent.

He nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a pity."

Fang Qingxue returned to the previous topic and continued, "The comprehension of martial arts divine intent is divided into three stages: the embryonic stage, the seed stage, and the flowering and fruiting stage. But as the trump card that allows us martial artists to resist the soul attacks of cultivators, the upper limit of martial arts divine intent is not limited to these stages!"

"Upon reaching the Human Immortal Realm, one's Qi merges with external objects, and one's divine will further strengthens. When the two are combined, one becomes a Martial God!"

Her gaze fell upon Luo Chen's martial arts deity, which he had not yet retracted.

“Fellow Daoist Luo, your cultivation method and your previous cultivation process have actually covered these two parts, which is why you were able to be comparable to the two of us when you first entered the Human Immortal Realm. There is no need to rush how to cultivate further; you can continue in this manner.”

Gu Xun on the other side nodded in agreement.

This kind of discussion and exploration has taken place several times already, all at Luo Chen's initiative.

The purpose was to help Luo Chen perfect his main cultivation technique.

He and Fang Qingxue were willing to help Luo Chen, so they always came gladly.

The discussion was quite selfless; even Luo Chen lowered his guard, allowing them to observe his martial arts spirit so that he could offer suggestions.

But Luo Chen's cultivation achievements were truly beyond their faults.

Luo Chen was not proud of their approval; instead, he fell into deep thought.

His self-created "Gods and Demons Without Form" was originally intended as a transition to the fourth stage of body refinement, but unexpectedly it already encompassed the cultivation methods of the Human Immortal realm.

This made him feel both satisfied and somewhat dissatisfied.

After pondering for a while, Luo Chen suddenly spoke: "Fellow Daoist Fang!"

“Luo Chen, you’re a bit older than me, so why don’t you call me Little Sister Fang like Brother Gu Xun does?” Fang Qingxue smoothed a strand of hair from her cheek, a rare look of naivety appearing on her girlish face. “I like this nickname. It’s like I’m still very young, and I can live for a very, very long time.”

Luo Chen was speechless.

Martial artists at the Great Destruction Realm are indeed quite different from cultivators in the outside world.

He rarely puts on airs; he acts entirely on his own conscience, truly following his heart!
He didn't stand on ceremony and asked in a slightly intimate tone, "Little Sister Fang, your family has a profound academic tradition, and you have received the true teachings of the Lord of the Worry-Free Realm. I suppose you have some understanding of the cultivation process after reaching the Human Immortal Realm. I wonder if you could tell me about the relevant knowledge?"

Fang Qingxue hesitated for a moment, but then spoke up frankly.

"After the Human Immortal Realm comes the Annihilation Realm. My ancestor reached this realm. In his words, it was the Great Perfection of the Martial Dao God, no different from the original body. Even if the physical body perishes, the martial artist's will can survive by relying on the Martial Dao God, making him practically immortal..."

……

Fang Qingxue and Gu Xun have already left.

Luo Chen, however, remained absorbed in the martial arts knowledge that Fang Qingxue had shared before leaving.

After the Human Immortal Realm comes the Annihilation Realm, and the cultivation path in the Annihilation Realm varies from person to person.

At this point, the martial arts spirit has reached its peak; the physical body perishes but the spirit remains, which sounds similar to how cultivators focus on cultivating their soul.

But in reality, it's the complete opposite!
Upon reaching that level, the martial arts deity must actively align itself with the martial artist's physical body, making the two even closer, and must never abandon the physical body.

Otherwise, even if the will remains, it will eventually dissipate and become chaotic, turning into an obsession between heaven and earth.

In fact, the reason why there are so many ghosts and nightmares in the Great Destruction Realm is also related to the excessive number of martial artists in this place.

Martial artists possess strong willpower, and even after death, they retain lingering desires, yearning to possess a physical body once more.

That's why it transforms into a nightmare, invading human dreams and attempting to steal and possess them.

This is the instinct of the Nightmare!
Even if they can't actually possess a human body, they will still do it one after another.

Far away.

Martial arts deities cannot abandon their physical bodies; on the contrary, they must become even closer to their physical bodies, forming a unified whole!
Only in this way can we break down the old and build anew.

When one reaches the limit of cultivation, one performs the work of breaking down the blood and qi within the body to condense the accumulated qi of one's entire life and open up the space within the body.

At this point, one can reach the seventh realm of martial arts that all martial artists dream of—the Nirvana Realm! "The Nirvana Realm!"

As Luo Chen murmured this incredibly familiar word, he felt somewhat dazed, as if he were thinking of Qixia Yuanjun and the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" that he had cultivated before.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen pulled himself out of his thoughts.

The immense power returns to oneself, giving birth to a martial deity that even heaven and earth cannot control, known as a human immortal.

Martial arts immortals are indestructible even when encountering gods.

After destruction, rebirth!
This is clearly a path of cultivation that is constantly being broken down and rebuilt.

Through countless trials and tribulations, it achieves astonishing power!

"In that case, I have a direction for creating a cultivation technique that is suitable for my future practice."

Luo Chen managed to glean some clues.

As for his current cultivation level, Luo Chen has already made plans after several discussions and exchanges on the Dao.

Generally speaking, we can follow what Gu Xun and Fang Qingxue said and keep it unchanged.

However, there are some changes in the details.

A normal human immortal realm martial artist can only condense one martial arts deity, and all cultivation is carried out around this martial arts deity.

Luo Chen, however, was slightly different.

His physical body was too powerful, like a wild beast or a demon, and the acupoints he had refined were also stronger than those of ordinary people.

With the assistance of the Hunyuan Cauldron to transform chaotic energy, the efficiency is hundreds of times higher.

In this way, he can condense an even greater number of martial arts gods!
If this cultivation method were to be revealed, Gu Fang and the other man would surely exclaim that Luo Chen had gone mad.

Because the appearance of another martial arts deity within a martial artist's body will affect the one that best aligns with the original's will.

But Luo Chen was not afraid.

The martial arts divine intent he comprehended is the divine intent of selflessness, which can also be seen as the divine intent of selflessness!
No matter how many martial arts spirits are within his body, they will not affect each other, and they are all products of Luo Chen's will.

the most important is!

Luo Chen's self-created "Seven Hundred Gods Kill" requires a sufficient number of martial arts gods to activate it.

After figuring all this out, Luo Chen was no longer confused.

In the days that followed, aside from resting and occasionally visiting Gu Fang and his companion for small gatherings, he was mostly in seclusion, cultivating.

……

There is no sun or moon in the mountains, yet a thousand years have passed in the world.

When you're focused on spiritual practice, time always seems to pass faster than you imagine.

Seventy-two years later, in the Chaos Sea.

A white-robed Taoist sat cross-legged in the void, unmoved by the waves of energy crashing against him.

Suddenly!
The white-robed Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of lightning seemed to appear in the chaotic darkness.

The Taoist priest slowly threw a punch at the chaotic sea, while also giving a soft shout.

"kill!"

Boundless killing intent condensed, endless qi surged forth, and the acupoints within his body shimmered like stars, finally converging into a single fist.

boom!
A massive, substantial fist of qi blasted out from the Taoist's hand, piercing through the entire chaotic sea within sight.

It's a distance of ten thousand feet!

The fist seemed to have no end in sight.

Only a dark, imposing passage remained, standing precariously in the air, as if the sea had been parted.

Luo Chen let out a deep breath, looking at the scene with satisfaction.

To conserve his internal energy, he only used one-tenth of his strength in that move.

But its power is beyond imagination.

If he were to unleash his full power in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he could probably create spatial rifts, or even sink the entire Eastern Wilderness with a single punch!
Such power has long surpassed that of ordinary immortal warriors, and even Nascent Soul stage experts.

Surely even the True Monarch of Refining Emptiness is no better than this?

Luo Chen pondered for a moment.

The reason he had this confidence was the seven hundred and twenty radiant martial arts deities within his body!

Over seventy-two years, with an astonishing efficiency of ten spirits per year, he finally condensed seven hundred and twenty martial arts deities.

At this point, his self-created martial arts technique, "Seven Hundred Divine Kills," was nearing completion.

And his martial arts realm had unknowingly reached the late stage of the Human Immortal Realm.

This progress in cultivation is equally astonishing.

No matter where it is placed, it is shocking enough.

Luo Chen knew that the key to his astonishing cultivation speed was the Hunyuan Cauldron and the inexhaustible Chaos Sea!
"If I can get out and recover my Nascent Soul cultivation, combined with my current martial arts level, I will have a certain degree of self-protection even against a True Monarch of the Void Refining Realm."

“It would take two or three hundred years of normal cultivation to reach this level.”

"Thinking about it this way, this Ruins of Return can be considered a blessed land for me, Luo Chen."

Luo Chen recalled the wisp of the original aura of the Calamity Gu that Youli Divine Lord had left in his Hunyuan Cauldron.

At that time, before ascending to immortality, Lord Youli said that a great calamity was about to befall him, and that the wisp of the source of the Calamity Gu might be able to help him resist it to some extent.

Luo Chen did encounter many dangers afterward, but he always managed to escape unscathed.

Until his ascension, he had not encountered a major calamity that would cause the Calamity Gu to react.

He initially thought it was just Youli Shenjun's unfounded worry.

Unexpectedly, the great calamity originated from Qixia Yuanjun!
Thinking about it carefully now, someone like Qixia Yuanjun must have had dealings with Youli Shenjun. In addition, Luo Chen's main cultivation was the "Tianhuang Nirvana Scripture". Perhaps Youli Shenjun had already seen some clues at that time, which is why he left behind some means to deal with it.

Luo Chen's arrival at Guixu was likely guided by the last wisp of the original aura of the Calamity Gu.

It truly proves the saying: fortune may be a blessing in disguise, and misfortune may be a blessing in disguise!
Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that Luo Chen will be able to leave Guixu in the future.

Otherwise, even with great power, one can only regretfully perish.

Luo Chen sighed and decided to return to Li Chen Island.

On the way back, he glanced at the attribute panel.

As he expected, his martial arts realm indeed stabilized at the late stage of Human Immortal. Not only that, due to the improvement in his realm and the growth of his martial arts spirit, the move "Heaven and Earth Reversal" also appeared in the category of martial arts divine abilities.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Luo Chen smiled and was about to close the panel when his peripheral vision froze on a certain entry.

That was a truly unexpected delight!
