Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 569 New Achievements
Zhou Leng glanced at the grandmaster's training equipment under the tree, and was about to start practicing, but then looked down and decided against it.

Don't strain, or your intestines and liver will spurt out.

We shouldn't underestimate the power of the gods.

I picked out some familiar fruits from the medicinal herbs, ate some, and was just about to leave when Dahuang woke up.

Big Yellow tilted its head in confusion, looking at the ground, which was perfectly flat.

Look at the tree trunk, it's clean.

My head seems to have returned to normal.

Looking at the dense snowflakes and leaves, Da Huang suddenly sniffed, his eyes sweeping over the row of divine golden pages under the tree. He excitedly lowered his head, sniffing as he wagged his tail and hurried away.

A moment later, it dug a hole in the soil, carried a gold leaf in its mouth, and ran to Zhou Leng. Its eyes were narrowed into slits, and its tail wagged so loudly it could beat a gong and drum.

Zhou Leng stroked Da Huang's head as he read the new gold pages.

After reading only a few lines, his eyes lit up.

All life forms develop a unique power system based on their own physical condition, which mainly includes absorbing power, circulating power, and releasing power.

The human body is better suited to the Qi system and the spiritual power system.

As life continues to evolve, it will eventually discover that old powers can become a constraint.

Just as even the most perfect stone cannot compare to a sickle, and even the most perfect sickle cannot compare to a combine harvester.

Even the most precise pesticide application cannot match the efficiency of drone delivery.

If a civilization devotes all its energy to researching more powerful artificial sickles and more powerful artificial pesticides, it will become a backward civilization, crushed by combine harvesters and drones, and eventually perish completely.

The civilization that mastered bronze tools triumphed over the one that mastered stone tools.

The civilization that mastered iron tools triumphed over the one that mastered bronze tools.

In the technological age, once-arrogant nomadic tribes can only boast of their ancestors' glory and are unable to develop any power based on nomadic traditions.

Such civilizations abound, both on Earth and in the universe.

The same applies to martial arts.

The limit of true qi power is the Martial Saint.

To advance from Martial Saint to the Void God realm, one needs to break free from the constraints of true energy and the body, and create entirely new power.

This process is similar to "harmony between man and nature," or it can be described as "man usurping the power of nature."

The training process of a martial artist can be roughly divided into two stages: first, obtaining true qi into the body, and then integrating the true qi into the body.

At the Grandmaster level, true qi merges with the body; at the Martial Saint level, true qi merges with the body to its ultimate degree.

After becoming a Martial Saint, one needs to transform true energy into new power.

This new force has different names in different ethnic groups and different regions.

Some call it Ancestral Power, some call it Heavenly Power, some call it True Qi Field, some call it Spiritual Power Field, and so on.

This power has a unified form.

Once formed, it will condense into a divine halo behind it.

Therefore, this power is collectively called divine ring power, or generally referred to as divine power.

The process of a Martial Saint advancing to the level of a Void God is the process by which true energy is transformed into divine power through the absorption of true energy from the starry sky.

However, true star energy rarely exists on ordinary planets; only a small amount remains in the starry sky.

The true energy zone is the richest in cosmic energy, followed by the special star zone, and then the starless dark zone of the universe.

There is very little stellar energy in galaxies, and even less in star systems.

This results in most martial saints being unable to convert their true qi into divine power.

Once you can obtain the true energy of the starry sky in advance, you can perform the transformation of Qi and spirit ahead of time.

Therefore, advanced civilizations, at the Grandmaster stage, simultaneously undergo the transformation of their entire body into Qi and the conversion of their spirit.

This will greatly accelerate the time it takes for a Martial Saint to advance to a Void God, saving hundreds of years.

However, many cosmic beings, such as star gods and ancient void beasts, are born in regions rich in cosmic energy. They bypass the transformation process and directly absorb cosmic energy in the early stages of their lives, which is then transformed into divine power later on.

Many non-star life forms have created techniques for directly cultivating star energy by imitating star gods and ancient void beasts.

This method goes a step further, omitting the vaporization process.

From the moment they were born, the Star Gods and Void Beasts possessed the power of almost a star.

This type of practice involves cultivating oneself as if one were the sun.

This results in extremely demanding cultivation conditions.

First, one's cultivation level cannot be too high. Once one reaches the Grandmaster level, the transformation of qi begins, and the body accumulates too much true qi, making cultivation impossible.

Secondly, it requires immense physical strength. The bodies of most nascent life forms are unable to withstand the cultivation of stellar energy.

However, the power of the stars is not a single, pure force; it must contain the destructive power of stars.

Directly cultivating Starry Sky True Energy is equivalent to entering space without the protection of True Qi and enduring endless space radiation, which would undoubtedly lead to death.

Seeing this, Zhou Leng had a strange thought.

Is the immortal celestial body prepared for cultivating the true energy of the starry sky?
This is the only one in the Ten Realms that is not only unafraid of the power of the destructive stars, but can also absorb the power of the destructive stars.

Even though he had no true energy left, his physical body alone was comparable to that of a Great Innate Realm expert, at least 90% of which was due to his Undying Star Body.

Keep reading.

The Starry Sky True Energy Technique is too advanced, and has been forcibly bound by the great power of the universe, making it impossible for beings of rudimentary civilizations to access it.

Therefore, the golden pages only record the "crude, rudimentary" methods of absorbing, circulating, and using the true energy of the starry sky.

This results in cultivators obtaining power from the Starry Sky True Energy, operating the Starry Sky True Energy, and using it in a way that remains at the level of controlling True Qi.

Only by completely transforming the true energy of the starry sky into divine power and condensing a divine ring can one possess a way of using it that surpasses the true qi martial arts.

"I understand. It's a special kind of true energy that's more powerful but harder to control."

"True Qi Martial Arts is like driving a supercar and crashing into people. True Energy Martial Arts is like driving a giant minecart and crashing into people. It may not be fast enough or flexible enough when turning, but as long as you crash into someone, it's equivalent to... crashing into someone."

Because the cultivation method of Starry Sky True Energy imitates the Star God and the Void Ancient Beast, it does not require a dantian or meridians at all.

The true energy of the starry sky takes a more advanced form, capable of condensing into a "true energy field." The true energy field possesses dual properties; normally, it is a tiny point in a quantum state that exists between the real and the virtual, known as the true energy singularity.

Once activated, it will spread throughout the body, becoming ubiquitous and all-encompassing.

True energy is like the sun shining brightly in all directions without any blind spots, while true qi is like a ray of light emitted by the sun.

Zhou Leng was invigorated upon seeing this.

Continue reading, and you will soon come across a technique called "Primal True Energy Technique".

However, there was no translation.

It all depends on your own understanding.

This level of cultivation technique contains both divine and spiritual meanings. Any translation will distort the spiritual meaning, leading to demonic possession.

The Undying Star Body is applied to the body; it's a form of material cultivation, and there's a corresponding meaning in the Dragon Kingdom language.

The true power of cultivation techniques contains many concepts that, even if combined with the sum of all elementary and intermediate civilizations, could not describe.

Forcing a description will only distort the meaning of the text.

Zhou Leng read it several times, thanked Da Huang and Senior Tree, leaned against the tree trunk, held the golden pages, and memorized the first divine text of "Primordial True Energy Technique".

The first character has a total of 175 strokes.

It has six sides, with an average of nearly 30 strokes per side.

The feeling was like being surrounded by characters like 齉鼺鼊.

As for what it means, figure it out yourself.

Zhou Leng recalled seeing Zhang Xinglie reading a book back in high school. When he opened the cover, he saw it was titled "Differential Topology".

I recognize every single word, but I don't dare look at a single page.

"Shenwen, you've graduated from kindergarten, you're all grown up now, you should learn to cultivate on your own..."

Zhou Leng silently followed the old path, memorizing the divine script by rote. After memorizing it, he used the self-evident nature of the divine script to gradually deepen his memory and understanding.

Silently memorizing and silently learning, everything felt like returning to the first time I learned the divine script.

I miss it, but I can't bear to look back.

I spent half an hour memorizing just one word, and my brain completely crashed.

He lay down on the spot in a daze and fell fast asleep.

Big Yellow looked at Zhou Leng with a puzzled expression, then at the tree canopy with a puzzled expression. After hesitating for a long time, it gently raised its two front paws towards the Frost Giant Tree and waved goodbye.

Thus began Zhou Leng's long learning phase of the "Primal True Energy Technique".

Three days later, the wound healed.

No need to worry about his intestines spitting out, Zhou Leng walked to the Grandmaster's weapon.

Currently, it is not possible to utilize the true energy of the starry sky; one can only rely on physical strength.

His gaze fell on the demonized squat machine.

When I left before, my strength had not yet reached the Great Innate level. Without true qi, I could squat four sets of barbell weights, maintaining a weight of around 200 tons.

I tried the 300-ton barbell first.

Perform one set of squats, 8 repetitions per set.

His face didn't turn red, he wasn't out of breath, and he didn't sweat.

A 300-ton squat without internal energy is the standard for daily internal energy training for newly promoted grandmasters.

Go straight for 500 tons.

It feels okay.

Switch to an 800-ton barbell for squats.

His whole body was flushed, his heart was pounding, and he was drenched in sweat.

I'm feeling great! I'm exhausted, but finishing four sets feels amazing!

"800 tons...the limit of true qi training for a lower-level grandmaster..."

I weighed myself.

It is less than two meters tall, but its weight can double to 4 tons.

Although its destructive power is not as great as that of a lower-level grandmaster who can use true qi, its current physical strength makes it hard to say who would win against an ordinary newly promoted grandmaster.

Zhou Leng looked at his body and recalled the various events that had occurred on the great battlefield.

Especially at the end, because he was in a coma, we didn't pay much attention to him.

Clearly, the various forces of the great battlefield gradually merged into his body.

For example, those dragon scales and blood patterns, that shining crown, and something else I don't know.

Once you comprehend the true power of the stars, everything will return, and it will be even stronger.

"Primal True Energy" ignites the flame called hope.

Zhou Leng took Da Huang back to Mammoth Lake and glanced at the Tree of Life he had planted earlier.

It is still in the seedling stage.

They led Xiao Ba and Da Huang out of Mammoth Valley and into Mammoth Town.

The ferocious beasts of Mammoth Town come and go, but they tend to favor those in support roles.

The main force has already migrated to Mammoth Mountain, which was renamed from Giant Lizard Mountain.

Leaving Mammoth Town, we arrived at Elf Town.

The elves lined up to greet them, their eyes filled with curiosity.

I heard that His Highness was seriously injured, but why does he look so energetic? It's just that... he seems to have lost his true energy.

Silver Lake Moon ran over with a smile, took Zhou Leng's hand, and introduced the development of the elves these days.

Previously, Zhou Leng had set two main directions for the Elf race: herb cultivation and Elf weapon crafting, all of which were intended to assist in martial arts.
