Longevity: Starting from Kaiyizhuang

Chapter 448

"It really is worthy of being a technique that can cultivate Pangu's true body!"

In the residence of the Demon-Subduing Emperor, Zhang Chu has already tried to practice the Nine Revolutions Profound Art.

Even though he had paid great attention to the training of his body since the beginning of his practice, and had the Taoist Scripture of Longevity as his fundamental practice, he has now reached the realm of Golden Immortal.

When he first started practicing the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, his progress was extremely fast. Basically, in the blink of an eye, he had successfully practiced the first revolution.

It took less than a day to complete the second, third and even fourth turns of practice and it was completely successful.

However, when he reached the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, his progress slowed down.

He could even feel that if he continued to practice forcefully, not only would his body not be strengthened, it would even cause damage to it.

It’s not that his body is not strong, but the essence of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art is too powerful.

With his background, it was extremely difficult for him to practice the Nine Revolutions Profound Art.

It’s not that his cultivation is not strong, but that his origin is too weak.

In other words, Zhang Chu's roots and character are not strong enough.

What kind of creatures were those who practiced the Nine Revolutions Profound Art before?
There are the twelve ancestor witches transformed from Pangu's essence and blood, and the peerless great witch under the twelve ancestor witches.

Only the ancient witches can cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Art to the eighth level, while the great witches can only cultivate to the seventh level at best.

If given enough time, those great witches might be able to practice the Nine Revolutions Profound Art to the eighth revolution.

But, how can you cultivate to the ninth level?
That's basically impossible.

The twelve ancestor witches transformed from Pangu's essence and blood have practiced for billions of years, but have not yet cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Art to the ninth revolution.

After all, the Nine Revolutions Profound Art is said to enable one to attain sainthood through nine revolutions, which means that if one cultivates to the ninth revolution, one can achieve Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Think about it, if the Twelve Ancestral Witches had really cultivated to the ninth level, how could the human race be the protagonist of the world today?

Backed by the twelve Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, the Wu Clan is the most powerful existence.

And what about Zhang Chu?

When it comes to the fifth stage of cultivation, it is no longer possible to make rapid progress and one can only continue to practice at a steady pace.

Maybe after a thousand years, he would be able to cultivate to the seventh level. As for the eighth level?
I don’t know how many years it will take. Maybe it will take billions of years. Maybe it will not be possible even in billions of years.

Or maybe his footing is too weak.

Yang Jian, who has practiced the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Art, is a half-immortal, with Yao Ji's blood flowing in his body.

Maybe it's no big deal to say that.

What if we put it another way?
Yang Jian has the blood of the Jade Emperor in his body.

And where does the Jade Emperor exist?
He is the Supreme of the Three Realms!
The Jade Emperor's strength was not increased after he became the Supreme of the Three Realms, but he was originally extraordinary. He first acquired the strength of a Daluo Jinxian or even a quasi-Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian before becoming the Supreme of the Three Realms.

To be able to have such bloodline, one must have an extraordinary foundation, and practicing the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Gong will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.

However, even though he had just entered the fifth level, Zhang Chu's physical strength had increased by more than 30%.

If he could perfect the fifth turn, his physical strength would most likely double from the original level.

How terrifying is this?
After silently feeling the condition of his body, Zhang Chu began to think about whether there was any way to improve his own origin, that is, his root, the innate root.

However, the innate energy in the world of Journey to the West has long disappeared. How can he possibly improve his innate skills?
"The Great Zhoutian Star Array!"

Suddenly, Zhang Chu thought of a formation that could compete with the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.

The complete Zhoutian Star Array has 365 Daluo Golden Immortals as the main formation, and 47,000 Golden Immortals as assistants.

"Then if I can set up a simplified version of the Zhoutian Star Array in my body, can I improve my foundation?"

Zhang Chu said to himself.

There are 365 ancient stars in the sky, and there are 365 acupoints in the human body. As for those tiny acupoints, they are even more countless.

If one could use one's own acupoints as the foundation to set up a simplified version of the Zhoutian Star Array, even if one could not improve one's foundation, one's strength would be incomparable.

Zhang Chu's soul, which contained the golden nature, began to explore the acupuncture points all over his body.

With his current level of cultivation, it is quite easy for him to explore the acupoints around the body.

Almost in an instant, he had discovered all 365 acupoints on his body.

However, he could feel that those acupoints were too fragile.

How could it be possible to set up the great Zhoutian Star Array when the acupoints were too fragile?
I'm afraid that as soon as it was set up, Zhang Chu's body would have exploded.

"Since the body can be honed and strengthened,"

A flash of inspiration came to Zhang Chu's mind, "Why not the acupuncture points?"

Suddenly, Zhang Chu's soul split into 365 strands and settled in the acupoints.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the 365 strands of soul immediately began to practice the longevity martial arts.

Suddenly, countless spiritual energy swarmed in from the surroundings.

As the spiritual energy was continuously refined, his acupoints also slowly became stronger.

However, this kind of practice is still just a slow and steady process.

If he wanted to train his acupoints to the point where they could withstand the Zhoutian Star Array, it would take who knows how many years.

Even billions of years might not be enough!

How could Zhang Chu, who has been making great progress since the beginning of his practice, endure such a long time?
He pondered silently again.

See if there is any way to strengthen your own acupoints without any consequences.

A flash of inspiration passed by, and Zhang Chu's eyes gradually brightened, "Heavenly Corpse Art!"

You must know that the reason why Zhang Chu was able to embark on the path of cultivation was because of the Heavenly Corpse Technique, which was to absorb the essence of zombies and refine it into magic power.

This was the reason why he was able to gain a foothold so quickly at the beginning of his cultivation.

Since the Heavenly Corpse Art can devour the essence of zombies, and Zhang Chu's own essence is one and the same as that of zombies, can he devour the essence of zombies and strengthen his acupoints?

Zhang Chu had too many zombies in his hands. Not to mention the 365 "Ba" level refined zombies, there were more than 90,000 flying zombies alone.

He didn't feel bad about taking out a dozen bodies for an experiment.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, a flying corpse appeared directly in front of Zhang Chu.

His extremely powerful palm fell directly on the head of the flying corpse, and an extremely terrifying suction force appeared.

The flying corpse-level corpse instantly turned into a ball of pitch-black origin and was swallowed by him.

As the zombie's essence entered the body, Zhang Chu directly pulled the zombie's essence and moved it towards an acupoint.

Inside the acupoint, there is a trace of Zhang Chu's soul which serves as the resident god of the acupoint. Its essence is so high that it cannot be compared with a mere flying corpse.

After that strand of soul trembled, the zombie's essence was immediately absorbed into that strand of soul, transformed into an extremely pure energy, and directly merged into the acupoint. As the acupoint digested the zombie's essence, Zhang Chu could feel that the acupoint became about 10% stronger.

However, he knew in his heart that this was only possible after the first time he used his acupoints to devour the essence of zombies. After that, swallowing the essence of flying corpses would not be much better.

Even so, Zhang Chu's heart was full of surprises.

A wisp of Samadhi True Fire appeared directly in the acupoint, and the corpse qi in the zombie's origin was directly burned to ashes.

The most important thing is that after devouring the zombie's essence, he did not feel that the quality or purity of his own mana had decreased.

this point is very important.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred and sixty-four flying corpse-level refined corpses appeared in front of Zhang Chu.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the 364 flying corpses were instantly reduced to ashes, transforming into 364 groups of original wishes and entering his body.

And under the guidance of the primordial spirit, it merged into the remaining 364 acupoints in the body.

In almost an instant, the essence of the zombies had been completely absorbed by the acupoints.

"Om~"

At this moment, his body suddenly shook.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Art actually started to run spontaneously. It was like a black hole, constantly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy.

And the scope of absorption soon spread to the entire residence of the Demon-Subduing Emperor, which is a small world attached to the Heavenly Court.

Even so, the spiritual energy was not enough for him to absorb.

The small world actually began to tremble as he absorbed spiritual energy, as if it would collapse at any time.

At this point, Zhang Chu no longer had any intention of hiding his choking.

The elixirs in the Yue Shi Mirror transformed into streams of spiritual energy and were directly swallowed up by his body.

With those panaceas as supplements, the small world finally stabilized.

After absorbing enough elixir that could enable several mortals to become Golden Immortals, the autonomous operation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art finally stopped.

"Is this the fifth transformation complete?"

Feeling the condition of his body, Zhang Chu suddenly widened his eyes.

He really didn't expect that the Nine Revolutions Profound Art would require so much talent.

No wonder Taoism and Buddhism made some improvements after obtaining the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. Otherwise, apart from the witch clan, no other creatures would be able to practice it.

Feeling his body become more than twice as powerful, Zhang Chu knew that if he wanted to strengthen his body further, it would not be enough to just three hundred flying corpses.

After he thought about it carefully, feeling the soul in the acupoints grow dozens of times stronger, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

The remaining 90% of his spirit directly transformed into 47,000 strands, which entered into the tiny acupoints in his body that corresponded to the positions of the 47,000 Star Banners.

With the entry of the primordial spirit, the acupoints could no longer bear it.

That’s right, those tiny acupoints were too fragile, and even a trace of Zhang Chu’s soul could not withstand it.

At this point, it is impossible for Zhang Chu to give up.

The Corpse King Banner appeared directly in Zhang Chu's hand, and forty-seven thousand flying corpse-level refined corpses appeared in the Crossing World Mirror in Zhang Chu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, all those refined corpses turned into the origin of zombies, divided into 47,000 parts, and rushed towards those tiny acupoints.

The origin was easily integrated into the acupoints.

Zhang Chu's 47,000 acupoints stabilized in an instant.

And his whole body was also filled with corpse energy.

At this moment, Zhang Chu was no longer the majestic Demon-Subduing Emperor, but an extremely terrifying corpse demon.

Feeling the impact of the corpse qi, the Samadhi True Fire floating in the sea of ​​consciousness directly covered the whole body and burned all the corpse qi in an instant.

A feeling of weakness instantly filled Zhang Chu's heart.

It’s not that he is weak, but that he needs spiritual energy now, sufficient spiritual energy.

Fortunately, there are enough spiritual objects in the space of Yue Shi Jing.

After returning to their original state, those spiritual objects and elixirs turned into streams of spiritual energy and entered into Zhang Chu's body.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Art also started to run spontaneously.

However, compared to the lack of spiritual energy, this amount of spiritual energy is still too little.

The Demon-Subduing Emperor's residence began to tremble.

If Zhang Chu can’t find a way to replenish energy, this small world will completely collapse.

At this moment, Zhang Chu no longer cared about being exposed. An illusory figure appeared in the residence of the Demon-Subduing Emperor, and Zhang Chu himself came to the world where the Devouring Star was located through the World-Traveling Mirror.

He has the coordinates of the original universes in the Devouring Star World.

With a teleportation, Zhang Chu appeared in an original universe.

Feeling the cosmic energy, Zhang Chu's body was like a black hole, swallowing up the original universe in an instant.

The energy contained in it turned into nourishment for him to improve his cultivation.

However, even so, the feeling of lack of energy still did not disappear, but became more urgent.

Then the next one.

It broke through the space and arrived in another original universe, continuing to absorb.

After repeating this cycle over and over again and devouring more than a dozen initial universes, Zhang Chu was finally able to control his desire for energy.

And his body was also strong to a terrifying degree.

Just a slight movement, and the surrounding space was directly shattered, turning into spatial turbulence, and time was also disordered.

At this point, his cultivation level was no longer something that the Devouring Star World could withstand.

Perhaps, the continent of origin in this world may be able to bear it?
Without staying here for too long, Zhang Chu went straight back to the residence of the Demon-Subduing Emperor in the Journey to the West world.

He needs to study his own situation carefully.

Zhang Chu now is like a malnourished creature. No matter how much spiritual energy there is, he will devour it.

The most important thing was that he could feel that his soul, which had been divided into tens of thousands of parts, was being devoured by his body under the continuous operation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art.

If he doesn't control it, his soul might be completely absorbed by his body.

"energy?"

Zhang Chu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, as if he remembered something, "Then they can also be considered energy, right?"
