Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 233 Mountaineering
Liang Baiyin served Song Juesi tea and water, then changed the subject and asked, "Grandpa Song, which mountain are you going to climb next time?"

"I'm going to Antarctica. With my current health, I'll have fewer and fewer opportunities to go there, so I might as well take a look now."

Zhou Leng said: "Mr. Song, I forgot to ask you just now, what do you think about the Xiantian Battle Path?"

Old Song drank the Pu'er tea that Liang Baiyin brought and spoke with great interest.

"The Battle Path is essentially a breakthrough on the spiritual and will levels, which allows one to believe that one is capable and qualified to enter the next great realm."

“Once you have completed the battle path, you will gain unimaginable confidence, and the possibility of breakthrough will be ten times greater than before.”

"However, different people prefer different paths of battle."

"I will only talk about a few innate battle paths. As for the Grandmaster Battle Path or even the Martial Saint Battle Path, I won't mention them for now."

"Generally, one has to take multiple paths of battle. For example, after advancing to the Shengli Stage, one basically has to take two or three paths of battle."

"The most common one is the natural route. It's very simple, such as swimming long distances in the ocean, running on the ice at the North and South Poles, or climbing the Himalayas barehanded. Note that this doesn't mean climbing just one mountain, but walking across a large mountain range."

“By constantly moving forward in nature, getting close to nature, feeling nature, understanding nature, enduring hardships, and ultimately, transcending nature.”

"The natural path of warfare may seem simple, but it actually contains extremely profound principles."

"Beasts and lower forms of life are selected by nature and evolve aimlessly, and can only adapt to the environment, and survive in the process of natural selection."

"But humans, wisdom, and warriors will gradually surpass natural selection and be able to undergo a certain degree of self-determined evolution."

“If you can’t surpass natural selection step by step, you can’t become strong.”

"If you carefully review the millions of years of human history and compare it with the intelligent life in the ten realms, you will find that the process of advancement of all intelligent life is a process of gradually getting rid of natural selection."

"Fertilizers and pesticides, artificial rainfall, air conditioners and refrigerators, etc., all change nature to some extent."

"The truly great natural battle path is not on the Blue Planet, nor in the Ten Worlds, but in the vast and endless universe."

When Zhou Leng and Liang Baiyin first heard this idea that subverted the theory of evolution, they instinctively did not believe it. But when they remembered that the judges of civilization and advanced civilizations did exist, they began to believe it.

Advanced civilizations can not only escape natural selection at the planetary level, but even at the galaxy level. Perhaps only the most extreme natural selection of the entire universe can affect them.

It can be said that advanced civilizations are no longer bound by basic evolution theory and have entered the level of super evolution theory.

Zhou Leng looked at Song Juesi. The old man had a head full of silver hair and seemed to be well-maintained at first glance, but the fine wrinkles on his skin and the old age in his expression could not be concealed.

Song Juesi continued: "The natural battle path may seem simple, but you must follow it. It is the foundation of transcendence."

"In addition to the natural battle path, there is the heart knot battle path. If it is more serious, it can be called the heart demon battle path, but most of the time it is not that exaggerated."

“On the road to growth, we always encounter some knots and goals, but for various reasons, we give up, retreat, or escape.”

"As a warrior, you must challenge the impossible one after another, and break the knots in your heart one after another, in order to reach the top."

"I have many knots in my heart. For example, my biggest knot is that I hope to restore my Dantian and advance to the Body Refining Stage. Unfortunately, it is destined to be impossible to accomplish."

"Now, tell me, what's the problem between you two?"

Song Juesi looked at the two of them.

The two of them were stunned at the same time. They didn't have enough knowledge about this kind of thing.

The first person that came to Zhou Leng’s mind was Tian Wenhu, but he couldn’t say it.

After a while, Zhou Leng said, "I have a lot of knots in my heart, but I can't think of them all at once. If I have to pick one, it's that... when I took the martial arts exam, I was qualified to enter the martial arts hall of Xihai Martial Arts University, but my place was cancelled. Later, Principal Lu and Zhang Xinglie came to help, which made me want to resolve this knot. Although I never mentioned it, I always remember it."

"What about you?" Song Juesi looked at Liang Baiyin.

Liang Baiyin was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and slowly said: "I was still young, I didn't have as many knots as you. If I have to say one, it is that I once broke up with a good female classmate because of a misunderstanding. Now think about it, I really shouldn't have done that, I didn't consider her feelings, after all, her family is not so well off."

Song Juesi said: "The Heart Knot Battle Path is to find a heart knot that can be solved by martial arts, and then solve it. There is no need to solve all the heart knots, just find the one that can be solved by the current martial arts."

Zhou Leng and Liang Baiyin nodded slightly.

Song Juesi continued: "In addition to the natural battle path and the heart knot battle path, there is the painful battle path."

"Both the natural battle path and the heart-knot battle path actually require going through numerous difficulties, but they are essentially a kind of experience and understanding."

"The painful battle path is to endure pure pain and push your abilities to the limit of endurance."

"The higher the limit of pain you can endure, the greater the possibility of your breakthrough."

“It involves the spiritual aspect of the person.”

"Let me give you a very simple example. If a distance of one meter is on the ground, even a child can easily step over it."

"But if you stand on the edge of a rooftop that is hundreds of meters high, and there is a one-meter-wide building opposite you, when you see it for the first time and look down, you will hesitate, your legs will become weak, and you will have all kinds of distracting thoughts."

“But if you’ve been jumping between one-meter-wide and one-hundred-meter-high buildings since you were a kid, you won’t care when you grow up.”

"When you have walked through the painful battle path, you will instinctively believe that you are not only qualified to be promoted to the Xiantian level, but you are even capable of being promoted. There will be no doubt and no wavering."

“Once you firmly believe that you can do it, your chances of success will be a thousand times greater than before.”

Zhou Leng and Liang Baiyin nodded repeatedly. This principle is very simple, but it is not easy to do it.

"The painful battle path usually involves suffering from boiling water, freezing, and pain. Unfortunately, Zhou Leng, you are not from a powerful military family, so you probably don't stand a chance."

"As far as I know, the best painful battle path under the Xiantian is the military's 'War Execution Ground'." "I'm not sure whether it is an illusion or something else. It should be part of the remains of a higher civilization."

"Once you enter, you will be attacked by countless weapons."

"If you can enter the trial there before you become a Xiantian, the benefits you will gain are unimaginable."

Zhou Leng's heart moved, but he said, "This is the first time I've heard of it."

"There are too many secrets in reality that are rarely mentioned online."

Liang Baiyin glanced at Zhou Leng, clenched his fists, and thought to himself, I must help Brother Zhou Leng get the qualification to go to the war execution ground. This is my heart knot!
Song Juesi said: "As for other battle routes, they are either too dangerous, too difficult, or require deeper experience, and are not suitable for you."

"The natural battle path, the heart knot battle path, and the painful battle path, these three innate battle paths are the best."

"Okay!" Zhou Leng and Liang Baiyin responded in unison.

After the class was over, Song Juesi stood up and saw the two out, chatting as they walked.

The moonlight was charming with tiny stars twinkling in the sky, and the three of them, one adult and four children, had a great time chatting.

When talking about mountain climbing, Liang Baiyin asked curiously: "Grandpa Song, why do you like mountain climbing so much? I heard that you spent half a year mountain climbing around the world a few years ago."

Song Juesi sighed softly and looked up at the night sky.

"I don't want to climb mountains. I want to go to the moon, to space, to the stars in the universe. But unfortunately, my old and frail body is too weak to climb to the sky. So I decided to climb mountains instead, to go to higher places, to raise my arms high, and feel that I can pick the stars with my hands."

Zhou Leng and Liang Baiyin looked at Song Juesi and felt a slight shock in their hearts for some unknown reason.

This old man was injured and knew that there was no possibility of promotion, but he still had his heart set on the starry sky.

This old man, although in his twilight years, still never stops and still keeps climbing.

This kind of spirit is rare even among young people.

At the same time, both of them were filled with regret.

This world is so unfair.

Such an ambitious person ended up with his Dantian damaged and his martial arts interrupted.

Song Juesi smiled and said, "I know you will have regrets, and I have too. But, every time I climb, every time I take a step closer to look up at the starry sky, I have no other thoughts but joy, from body to soul, the kind of joy that fills my entire life. This is enough."

Zhou Leng and Liang Baiyin looked at each other and respected Mr. Song even more.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Song, Zhou Leng wanted to take a taxi to send Liang Baiyin away.

Liang Baiyin didn't want to take a car, so the two of them ran all night, talking and chatting, until they ran out of Xiyuan.

"Brother Zhou Leng, would you like to come to my house for a cup of tea? My mother also said she wants to meet you." Liang Baiyin invited generously.

"I can't sleep because of the tea I'm drinking tonight. See you later." Zhou Leng waved his hand and continued to run forward without even stopping.

I was running comfortably, how could I stop practicing martial arts just like that?
"See you next time!" Liang Baiyin smiled and waved to Zhou Leng's back.

She stood there and watched until Zhou Leng's back disappeared, then she hummed a song and walked home with brisk steps.

In the following days, Zhou Leng entered a regular life.

Every morning after leaving the world of ferocious beasts, he would take out the magic watch and search for information about Tian Wenhu.

Then I went for a morning run, had breakfast, and went to the school's personal training room, which connected to the Wuwei Department's intranet for teaching. The new instructor was a congenital master of the Xiongcheng Wuwei Department, with great strength and extremely high teaching level.

I had lunch with Xu Qingjin at noon, and after lunch we took a walk and chatted together.

Occasionally when I meet classmates I know, we always assume that we are in a relationship.

In the afternoon, Zhou Leng entered the Advanced Martial Arts Hall to practice.

After having dinner in the cafeteria with Xu Qingjin in the evening, I headed straight to the giant frost tree.

Practice "The Chapter of Establishing the Image", practice "The Immortal Planet", take a medicinal bath, practice martial arts, learn divine texts, learn languages of various ethnic groups, and occasionally enter the gate of purgatory... go through the whole process and then go to bed, it's morning.

Occasionally I exchange martial arts with friends, and occasionally I go back to class and chat with classmates.

Then, repeat it over and over again.

There are no ups and downs, no thrills, but life is full of flavor.

As his strength continued to grow, the power of the giant's body was slowly compressed.

When it was compressed to two meters high, Zhou Leng clearly felt that it had reached its limit.

The medicine for the Giant Tribe has also been delivered.

Zhou Leng contacted Instructors Deng Zhijue and Huang Jingqiu and entered the training room together.

"Is everything ready?" Huang Jingqiu asked.

Zhou Leng took out the necessary tonic pills from the magic bag one by one.

Dwarf's promotion elixir, giant's promotion elixir, human's promotion elixir, plus the Ice and Snow God Cult's magic master's promotion elixir.
