Chapter 333 The Road Ahead: True Qi as a Guide to Forging True Essence (Part 2)
Everyone looked puzzled, but Zhou Qingchen quickly made his move.

Whoosh! !

She pointed her fingers into a sword shape and casually pointed at the bucket, using only one-tenth of her strength. With her abilities, piercing a bucket made of this material would be a piece of cake.

Snapped! !

Surprisingly, when Zhou Qingchen struck the bucket with his sword, it remained completely intact and unharmed.

"This is... the bucket's sturdiness has increased? Is this the effect of the jade-like energy? It can actually increase the strength of ordinary plastic materials by so much?"

Zhou Qingchen said in great surprise.

Upon hearing this, others immediately tried it as well and were all quite surprised.

"This is the most basic use of bioenergy. Using it to cover objects can produce an effect similar to a bio-force field, greatly increasing the strength of objects. Even a piece of tofu will become as hard as a brick under its coverage."

"Moreover, this force can not only act on external objects, but also on itself. In fact, because this bio-energy itself comes from one's own body, its effect is even stronger."

Yi Beidou continued, saying that the bio-energy covering the bucket receded, and his body surface was quickly covered with a large number of jade-like threads.

"In this way, the weakness of a mortal body will be overcome to some extent, greatly narrowing the gap between us and the ancients who have fused with the flesh and blood of an earth immortal. Even some forbidden secret techniques that previously harmed the body can now be used normally within our control!"

"Going straight to the essence, directly manipulating the bioenergy within a living organism, the martial artist's journey from fists and feet to internal organs, to divine will, and then to magnetic fields, is a process of gradually mastering oneself, overcoming physical defects, and discovering essential power. This is the path we will take in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Qianyuan blurted out, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Achieving sainthood and mastering the power of true qi magnetic field results in a qualitative change in the essence of life. This has always been the limit of martial arts, the pinnacle of mortals throughout history.

Although there are subsequent cultivations after becoming a saint, such as condensing the Dharma body, harmonizing the true Qi, and generating radiance, it still does not transcend the level of becoming a saint. It cannot be called a qualitative change, but is merely a further exploration of the potential of the realm of becoming a saint.

Even now, Yi Beidou is able to overpower the ancients who have fused with the flesh and blood of the Earth Immortal because of the powerful body control brought by the mastery of the Free Mind Technique, the solid martial arts foundation laid by the Seven Forms of the Heavenly Demon, and the powerful talent potential of the Heavenly Demon Body itself. Ultimately, he was able to achieve this through the secret technique of Heavenly Demon Disintegration.

However, now that we have mastered bioenergy, there seems to be a sign of a qualitative change, which may be the future of martial arts.

Everyone was quite excited. No matter what you do, the first step is always the hardest, but now that Yi Beidou has taken the first step, it won't be difficult for others to catch up.

They were all geniuses who stood at the forefront of their time.

"The road ahead?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Beidou couldn't help but make a connection.

He knew very well that he had not discovered this path, but that it had been discovered by the Earth Immortal countless years ago, and that he had merely received the Earth Immortal's instruction through synesthesia.

But is the path taken by the Earth Immortal the correct one?
If it is correct, then why would he have seen that fragment in his synesthetic memory?
Several earth immortals gathered, and one of the earth immortals from Penglai, moved by a thought, asked how to become a true immortal.

This shows that their path ultimately failed, and that they died and perished, leaving behind no trace of these ancient traditions. This provides a glimpse into their situation.

This path may not actually be the right one.

"Gentlemen, this is merely an experiment. It is too early to consider it the right path. Its essence is still within the framework of the path to sainthood. The essence of life has not changed as a result; only the form of energy utilization has changed. Moreover, I have come to understand that this power is related to the ancient earth immortals."

Yi Beidou did not hide anything and told everyone how he comprehended the power of jade.

"The legacy of ancient Earth Immortals? I never expected that Earth Immortals would think that their path might be wrong. But that makes sense, the fact that Earth Immortals disappeared without leaving any legacy is proof of that."

Ding Huiyuan nodded and said.

"I think there are probably deeper secrets hidden here. Perhaps we can find the answers and understand the truth in those earth immortal ruins, which may help us predict the future."

Huang Tianhu said.

"What interests me more is how to control and extract bioenergy."

Zhou Qingchen looked at Yi Beidou.

"My method is closely related to the magic of Penglai Immortals. This supernatural power has allowed me to master two magnetic field abilities. One magnetic field ability can stimulate cells to unleash their deep potential, thereby greatly enhancing the body's recovery ability."

"Another type of magnetic field can rapidly reduce the vitality of the human body, even causing cells to collapse and turn into pus. The vitality reduced by this magnetic field is not excreted through normal metabolic channels, but is drawn away and dissipated into nature in the form of bioenergy."

"When these two magnetic fields operate simultaneously and achieve a balance of yin and yang, the body's bioenergy can dissipate on its own. At this time, as long as one is aware of and perceives this energy and uses one's essence, energy, and spirit to control it, one can use it well."

Yi Beidou explained that his explanation was actually a summary of his recent understanding of power, which gave him a clearer understanding of himself.

"The magic of Penglai? But that kind of magic seems extremely difficult to cultivate. Since the extinction of earth immortals, you are the first mortal to have successfully cultivated it."

Meng Qianyuan said.

“The Penglai Immortal Arts are indeed difficult to master, but we don’t necessarily have to master them. The most important thing in cultivation is to see through the phenomena to the essence. The essence of bioenergy is to find a way for the body to quickly generate bioenergy, a way to extract bioenergy, and to sense and control this energy.”

Ding Huiyuan said.

"Indeed, a large amount of bioenergy is dissipated between the birth and death of cells. The birth and death of cells is actually part of the life activities of the human body. Theoretically speaking, any life activity of the human body will consume bioenergy. In these processes, we may find the possibility of extracting bioenergy."

"The functioning of the internal organs, the stimulation of the spirit, the explosive power of the muscles, the circulation of qi and blood, and even the effect of the magnetic field of life."

Zhou Qingchen's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"The life magnetic field is the key. All secret techniques and magnetic fields are generated by the changes in the life magnetic field, which in turn affect the physical body. A strong will, extremely strong control over the body, plus the understanding and mastery of the life magnetic field are the conditions for unleashing bio-energy, which is the so-called 'essence, energy and spirit' three flowers."

Yi Beidou said.

"The life magnetic field, which is called 'original life true qi' in ancient times, is used as a guide to further explore the body's potential and thus master bio-energy. This reminds me of some novels about the purification and condensation of true qi."

Ding Huiyuan stroked his chin and said, “There’s no need to make it so mysterious. Ancient cultivators cherished their knowledge and made all their inheritances mysterious. On the one hand, it was because they were limited by the knowledge of their time, and on the other hand, it was to raise the entry threshold. After all, resources were scarce in that era, and it was not easy to even have enough to eat. Having another fellow cultivator was like having another enemy, so naturally they had to be very careful and use a lot of cryptic language.”

"But we live in an era where we don't need to do that. We just need to present everything clearly so that everyone can understand the truth: the life magnetic field is the life magnetic field, not true qi; bioenergy is bioenergy, not true essence."

Yi Beidou waved his hand and said.

“That makes sense. There’s no need for all that mystical stuff. Neither you nor I need those cryptic words and witty remarks to raise our status. This trip to the Mediterranean was absolutely worthwhile; it showed me a path worth exploring.”

Huang Tianhu sighed.

The group then continued their discussion. Once they had a direction, the discussion went quite deep. Everyone present was a genius at the forefront of their time, and their gathering sparked unique insights.

When the discussion gets heated, people even circulate their qi and blood on the spot, stimulating their life magnetic field, making the entire stadium radiant, as if they were in a fairyland.

"It's incredible, it's like a gathering of gods."

Beside Liu, the head of the Saudi regional security agency, a young man watched the scene unfold and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"There are no immortals or gods here, only people who keep getting stronger."

"Many more such figures will emerge in our country in the future, leading humanity into a new era."

"Remember, everything you hear and see today is top secret and must not be leaked. Alright, now come out with me and wait outside."

"I am in charge," said Liu in a deep voice.

All staff members left the stadium, leaving the space entirely to Yi Beidou and others.

Half a day passed quickly without anyone disturbing them. In fact, quite a few people had gathered in the stadium, including some high-ranking Saudi officials, all of whom were trying to meet Yi Beidou and hoping to gain his favor.

However, Mr. Liu refused all requests for a meeting.

Originally, this was someone else's territory, and the status of Liu, the person in charge, and these Saudi VIPs was actually completely unequal. However, when he refused them, they showed no dissatisfaction or anger.

Because he was conveying Yi Beidou's meaning.

On Earth today, in the secular world, how many people dare to provoke this demon lord?
"Ok?"

Yi Beidou, who was discussing Dao with Zhou Qingchen and others, suddenly had a change in expression. He turned his head and looked in a certain direction. His gaze seemed to pass through the wall of the gymnasium and see a certain existence, sensing an aura.

The others also noticed something was wrong and stopped discussing.

"This aura is as majestic as the heavens and as noble as a god. It seems that this person is the representative of the gods on earth. Who is this person?"

Meng Qianyuan said in a deep voice.

"The Gods Conferring Titles".

Yi Beidou said.

“A God-Consecrating Master? We have fought against 'Heavenly General' level experts among the God-Consecrating Masters before, but their auras were completely different from this person's, not even on the same level.”

Zhou Qingchen frowned and said.

"I'm afraid this person is the leader of one of the five lineages of the Investiture of the Gods. In fact, he appeared during my battle with that slumbering one, but he only released his aura to greet me before leaving. It seems he didn't come with any ill intentions."

Yi Beidou said with a smile.

The leader of the Five Families in the Investiture of the Gods?

In other words, as the information states, they are the so-called "Heavenly Lord" level powerhouses who can rival the Sleepers.
Everyone's expressions brightened.

The Investiture of the Gods Alliance is a very mysterious organization with an extremely long history. It seems to possess many ancient secrets and is bound by a set of seemingly unbreakable "oaths".

Furthermore, their cultivation path is vastly different from that of the ancients and secular martial artists. Even today, people cannot truly understand the true essence and mysteries of this lineage.

The so-called "fruit position" is truly absurd.

Having learned of the Sleepers' terror, everyone became even more curious about the "Heavenly Lord" level powerhouses within this organization, who were said to be on par with the Sleepers.

If Yi Beidou hadn't grasped the method of using bio-energy, he probably wouldn't have been a match for Dong Wang. How could a Heavenly Monarch-level being, who doesn't use any Earth Immortal flesh and blood, possibly fight against the Sleepers?
Could they also use energy-based methods?

Perhaps this time I'll be able to witness its mysteries.

"Mr. Yi, I apologize for disturbing you, but I wonder if I could have a meeting with you?"

Even before that aura arrived, the magnetic field within the stadium vibrated, emitting a gentle sound.

"Since you're here, it's only right that we meet. I've long heard of the 'Heavenly Lord' experts of the Conferred God Alliance and have wanted to meet them for a long time."

Yi Beidou said.

Outside, Liu, the person in charge, was still dealing with various parties with his staff. Fortunately, half a day had passed, and the staff from Donghua's embassy in Saudi Arabia had arrived to help, which relieved some of their pressure.

Everyone wanted to see Yi Beidou, but no one succeeded. While everyone was unaware, a figure easily passed through all the surrounding security and silently entered the stadium.

Yi Beidou and the others stood up and watched as a handsome and refined young Asian man with a smile slowly walked in through the gate.

"Mr. Yi, and everyone else, I have long admired your name. Let me introduce myself. I am Long Yichen, the leader of the Dark Vine organization among the Five Veins of the Gods. Of course, Dark Vine is not a name created to meet the needs of the secular world. Since you have already come into contact with the secret circle, you can directly call us by our ancient name."

"The Divine General's Mansion".
