Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 341

Chapter 340: Divine Powers and Enlightenment

The practice system created by Ao Bing, called martial arts, is nothing special in itself. But after reaching a certain level, it can get rid of the influence of the outside world and become self-sufficient.

Thus, martial arts became extraordinary.

The martial arts are divided into fourteen realms, among which the lower three realms are for refining the body, the middle three realms are for refining qi, the upper three realms are for refining the spirit, the tenth realm is for refining the immortal, the eleventh realm is for Taiyi, the twelfth realm is for Daluo, the thirteenth realm is for refining the quasi-sage, and the fourteenth realm is for refining the soul.

Ao Bing's previous performance had only evolved to the seventh level, namely the fourth level of transforming qi into openings to the orifices, the fifth level of one orifice connecting to a hundred orifices, the sixth level of orifices giving rise to gods, and the seventh level of the gate of chaos.

This seventh realm is the key to martial arts, and also its most special feature. Condensing the acupoints of the whole body into one point, it becomes the Gate of Chaos, connecting with the chaos.

The so-called chaos is actually nothingness. It does not really exist, but is illusory and completely non-existent.

The Gate of Chaos has no entity, but is an image, an image that comes out of nothing.

Condensing all the acupoints in the body into the ancestral acupoint, transforming it into the door of chaos, and then pushing it open. It is said to be penetrating the chaos, but in fact it is to comprehend the mystery of creating something out of nothing.

That’s right, the self-sufficiency of the martial arts system is essentially creating something out of nothing, deriving chaotic energy from nothingness.

Nothingness is the beginning of everything, the beginning of the great way, the beginning of chaos, and it was originally a void. It was out of nothing that something was created, and then everything that exists now was created.

Therefore, the highest mystery of spiritual practice is to create something out of nothing. Only when one thoroughly understands the principle of creating something out of nothing can one achieve the state of refining the false into the true and become omnipotent.

The martial arts system created by Ao Bing initially touched upon the principle of creating something out of nothing. It was precisely because of this that the martial arts system could be self-sufficient.

Of course, even the simplest principle of creating something out of nothing is not something that an ordinary cultivator can master. But the problem is that Ao Bing is not an ordinary cultivator. The foundation he possesses is fully capable of supporting him to master the mystery of creating something out of nothing.

In fact, most of Ao Bing's understanding of creating something out of nothing came from the Chaos Demon Ape. Previously, the Chaos Demon Ape was sealed by Emperor Yu and completely cut off from the outside world.

But even so, he was still able to draw strength from the chaos and restore himself. This involved the art of creating something out of nothing.

Ao Bing refined his residual thoughts and naturally inherited this ability. He integrated it with the acupoints and mixed it with his own understanding, thus creating a self-sufficient martial arts system.

In addition, the special thing about the martial arts system is not only that it can be self-sufficient, but also because it carries the magical power to achieve enlightenment.

In other words, it was born for the purpose of achieving supernatural powers.

The seventh realm of martial arts not only fuses the 129,600 acupoints in the body into the Gate of Chaos, but also integrates the gods born from these acupoints into one, transforming it into a god of chaos.

This chaotic god is the soul of the cultivator. At the same time, this also marks that the martial arts officially enter the soul refining stage from the seventh level.

The Chaos God was only about ten feet tall, but he gave people an unusually majestic feeling. He stood in the vast chaos, like the center of everything, and the entire chaos was revolving around him.

If you look closely, you can see that there are densely packed runes flowing in his body, a total of 129,600, which are constantly arranging and combining, as if they are evolving something.

This is the Hongmeng Rune, which carries the true meaning of the Great Dao and is the common foundation of all cultivation systems. Whether it is the Great Dao or the rules, they are all constructed by these Hongmeng Runes.

Arranging them in different combinations can produce different powers, and there are countless combinations, which means that they can evolve into countless powers.

The Chaos God is evolving the Hongmeng Runes in his body to build his own path, and the power it exudes is the supernatural power.

The great way is the supernatural power, and the supernatural power is the great way.

This is Ao Bing's latest understanding of achieving enlightenment through supernatural powers. Using supernatural powers to construct the Great Dao, once successful, one can achieve enlightenment through supernatural powers.

Rumble!
The energy of chaos continued to fall and was absorbed by the Chaos God. Visibly, the Chaos God's body began to grow larger, ten feet, a hundred feet, a thousand feet...

There was a loud bang, and the Chaos God broke through from the seventh realm to the eighth realm, the realm of martial arts.

And this was just the beginning. The Chaos God was still growing bigger, the Hongmeng Runes in his body were evolving faster and faster, and various magical powers were deduced.

Soon, as if breaking through some kind of limit, the Chaos God broke through again and reached the ninth level of martial arts, the realm of enlightenment.

A wheel of magical powers took shape behind his head, containing countless changes. It was the embodiment of his Tao fruit.

The divine power transforms into the divine wheel, which is the foundation of the Tao. After practicing to this stage, the next step of practice is to focus on strengthening the divine wheel.

If the divine wheel can shatter the void, it means reaching the tenth realm of martial arts, the realm of celestial immortals.

If the divine wheel can shatter the rules, it will be the eleventh realm of martial arts, the realm of Taiyi.

If the divine wheel can shatter the innate way, it will be the twelfth realm of martial arts, the realm of Daluo.

If the divine wheel can shatter time and space, it will be the thirteenth realm of martial arts, the realm of quasi-saint.

Time and space are divided into past, present and future, so shattering the state of time and space is also divided into three steps, namely shattering the past, shattering the present and shattering the future.

These three realms correspond to the realm of beheading the three corpses.

If the supernatural power can shatter the universe and create the world, then it can transcend everything and reach the fourteenth realm of martial arts, the realm of supreme shattering, which can also be said to be the realm of Hunyuan.

At this point, it is the so-called supernatural power to achieve the Tao. The supernatural power is no longer different from the Tao, and it can crush all disasters, all things, and the heaven and earth will be wiped out.

At this point, who dares to say that supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny?
It's a pity that Ao Bing himself has limited foundation. Even if he has refined the murderous intent of the beginning of the world and the remnant of the demon god, he has only cultivated the martial arts system to the twelfth level, which is enough to shatter the Daluo realm of the innate way.

He has not reached the realm that follows, but has only deduced it roughly. It still exists in theory and needs to be verified step by step in the future.

……

…………

"Rather than being able to achieve enlightenment through supernatural powers, it's better to say that it's a simplified version of achieving enlightenment through force."

"To achieve the Tao through force means to use supreme power to shatter all restraints, forcibly transcend the heaven and earth, and achieve the state of Hun Yuan."

“And your divine power to achieve enlightenment has already had some shadows of achieving enlightenment through force. You crush everything with the power of divine power and achieve enlightenment by force.”

After watching Ao Bing's performance, Master Tongtian was silent for a long time before he sighed.

According to Ao Bing's method of achieving enlightenment, if one goes one step further, without using any magical powers, one can crush everything with a single move of the hand, which is the legendary way of achieving enlightenment through force. Although the power of magical powers is also a kind of power, it cannot represent all power.

Therefore, only by using the power of supernatural powers can everything be crushed. Although it can be barely regarded as achieving enlightenment through force, it is ultimately not perfect and has some flaws. It can only be called achieving enlightenment through supernatural powers.

"In fact, from the beginning to the end, there is only one way to achieve enlightenment, and that is to achieve enlightenment through force."

"The rest of the paths to enlightenment, whether it's through supernatural powers or realms, include the path to enlightenment through the primordial spirit, the path to enlightenment through the physical body, the path to enlightenment through merit, the path to enlightenment through treasures, and so on."

"Whether it can be accomplished or not, in essence, it is a simplified product of the Dao of Force."

"It is too difficult to achieve the Dao through force. It requires all aspects to be complete and reach the limit. If we follow this requirement, I am afraid no one in the prehistoric world can meet this requirement."

"So, our ancestors divided the path to enlightenment through force into several different ways."

“In this way, although the strength becomes weaker after achieving enlightenment, the difficulty of achieving enlightenment is greatly reduced. It will not make people feel that this is a dead end and no one can get through it.”

After hearing Master Tongtian’s evaluation, Ao Bing thought about it and expressed his own feelings.

What is power? It is not just strength, it covers everything and is a general term for all visible and invisible forces.

The power of the soul is strength, the power of the body is strength, and the power of magic is also strength. Not only that, intelligence and the power of the mind are also a kind of strength.

The scope of power is so wide that if one wants to achieve the Tao through power, one needs to cultivate all of them to perfection. From this, we can see how difficult it is to achieve the Tao through power.

It is for this reason that Pangu, the only being who can achieve the Dao through force, is so powerful. He regards the Chaos Demon as nothing and can kill him with a wave of his hand.

This is also the reason why there are strong and weak paths to enlightenment. They are all separated from the path of enlightenment through force, with different focuses, unable to take into account all aspects, so the gap naturally emerges.

Some focus on combat power, such as achieving enlightenment through supernatural powers, achieving enlightenment through the physical body, etc. Therefore, every one of those who achieve enlightenment in this way is extremely powerful.

There are those that focus on the state of mind, such as achieving enlightenment by beheading the three corpses and achieving enlightenment by the soul. Although their combat power is not as good as those who achieve enlightenment through supernatural powers, their state of mind is in harmony with the Tao, and their cultivation speed far exceeds that of those who achieve enlightenment through supernatural powers, making it easier to reach the next level.

All we can say is that those who have achieved enlightenment each have their own advantages, and their superiority cannot be judged simply by their fighting power.

"You can actually comprehend this. It seems that your understanding of the great Dao is much deeper than I thought."

"However, the cultivation system you created can only be said to be mediocre. If there is anything special about it, it is not the cultivation system that is special, but the acupoints."

"If you remove the acupoints, your cultivation system will be nothing special. It will not be self-sufficient, and you will not be able to achieve enlightenment through supernatural powers."

Tongtian Sect Master was not surprised that Ao Bing had such an opinion. After all, he was an existence that theoretically proved that it was possible to achieve enlightenment through supernatural powers. His wisdom had already stood at the top of the world. It would be strange if he did not have this opinion.

What Tongtian Sect Master was interested in was the cultivation system created by Ao Bing. Originally, it was just an ordinary cultivation system without any highlights. But because of the addition of acupoints, it immediately became extraordinary.

It is hard not to be curious about how mysterious these acupoints are to have the ability to transform decay into magic.

"A hole is a passage."

"The so-called acupoints are the channels that connect the human body to heaven and earth."

"Innate creatures are born powerful because they are born with all their orifices connected. They are constantly drawing strength from heaven and earth. It can be said that they are getting stronger with every breath."

"Then-born creatures are different. Except for the nine orifices that are not sealed and are naturally connected, the other orifices are all closed. Therefore, the after-born creatures cannot draw strength from heaven and earth and become stronger by breathing."

“But no matter whether it is a congenital or acquired creature, after birth, some of the acupoints in the body will be blocked to a greater or lesser extent, and not all of them will be connected.”

"After realizing this, I studied for many years and finally found a method to open up the acupoints."

"It can open up all the acupoints in the human body, transforming the mortal body into an innate Taoist body, closely connecting with heaven and earth, absorbing strength all the time, and getting stronger with every breath."

"At this point, I thought the mysteries of the acupoints had been developed to their limit."

"But what I didn't expect was that after refining the remnant of the demon god, I was surprised to find that the acupoints in the human body still have the potential for further development."

“Then you will unify them, and then rise above heaven and earth, and realize the principle of creating something out of nothing.”

"That's what I thought, and I did it, and I integrated it with martial arts. The result did not disappoint me. I really created something out of nothing, and evolved the chaotic energy in my body in an endless stream, becoming self-sufficient."

Ao Bing explained that what Master Tongtian said was right, the cultivation system he created was just ordinary and nothing special.

But the acupoints he discovered were mysterious and special. When combined with martial arts, they could not only achieve self-sufficiency, but also carry supernatural powers to achieve enlightenment.

"The mysteries of the acupoints are more than that. The human body is connected to heaven and earth, so how can there be no benefits? With the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the infinite potential contained in the human body is developed and transformed into the phantom of the gods."

"They are not only the gods of the human body, but also the prototypes of innate magical powers. It is because of their integration that you can comprehend the Hongmeng Runes and evolve various magical powers."

Tongtian Patriarch finished what Ao Bing had not finished saying. The acupoint itself can be transformed into a gate of chaos, continuously creating chaotic energy. The gods nurtured by the acupoints are the foundation of supernatural powers.

They can be said to be the prototype of innate supernatural powers, or they can be called seeds of supernatural powers. They all carry the Hongmeng runes and will continue to become stronger as the master's realm improves.

At the same time, with the blessing of these magical power seeds, no matter what magical power you practice in the future, it will become extremely fast.

All magical powers are composed of magical power seeds, that is, Hongmeng runes. In the past, when cultivating magical powers, one needed to slowly comprehend them before gaining anything.

After mastering the seeds of magical powers, you only need to arrange and combine them according to certain rules to display the corresponding magical powers.

The underlying logic has changed, so how can the speed of comprehending supernatural powers not be faster? It is precisely because of this advantage that supernatural powers can turn the impossible into the possible.

The more powerful the magical power, the more difficult it is to master, and the more energy it consumes. It is precisely because of these two drawbacks that the path to achieving magical power is extremely difficult.

The emergence of the acupoints greatly alleviated these two drawbacks. The Chaos Gate could continuously create Chaos Qi, greatly alleviating the drawback of insufficient strength.

The emergence of supernatural power seeds greatly reduced the difficulty of comprehending supernatural powers and solved a major drawback.

In this way, the difficulty of practicing supernatural powers to achieve enlightenment is greatly reduced, and it becomes possible to succeed in this path.

"There is another problem. If you can't solve it, your cultivation system will not be worth promoting."
