Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 700 The Long Road
“Take me to see your superior,” Zhou Leng said, tossing out a gold nugget worth several thousand yuan.

Obtained by killing the tyrant of the Elephant Kingdom.

The man gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Come with me."

Led by the tour guide, Zhou Leng found a manager in Bodhi City. He first demonstrated his martial prowess, then paid one million for basic cultivation fees, followed by two million as a personal gift. The manager readily helped Zhou Leng arrange everything.

They even guarantee that as long as you have money, you can cultivate here for a hundred years without any problem.

With the help of insiders, Zhou Leng navigated the process with ease, staying in the best room, changing his skin color, and obtaining the inner circle cultivation token.

This inner circle cultivation token was originally only available to a select few of the most powerful Brahmins in the Elephant Kingdom.

As Zhou Lenggang approached the Bodhi tree, he immediately sensed a familiar aura.

An aura similar to, yet different from, that of the Tree of Life and the Mother Tree.

The Bodhi tree moves on its own even without wind, its leaves rustling and shaking.

"The sacred tree has moved!"

Aside from those who were practicing, all the people of the nearby Elephant Kingdom were excited and knelt down to worship the Bodhi tree.

The junior manager also knelt down respectfully, showing great courtesy in return.

Then, a verdant branch fell from the Bodhi tree and flew towards Zhou Leng.

A warrior from the Elephant Kingdom's eyes lit up, and he strode over, reaching out to grab it.

Suddenly, a hollow sound came from the trunk of the Bodhi tree.

null……

The warrior who was trying to steal the item suddenly had his head explode and fell to the ground.

A gust of wind blew, swirling the corpse and bloodstains, pushing them far away.

Not a single stain was left under the Bodhi tree.

The people of Xiangguo stood there, stunned, watching the branch fly to Zhou Leng and hover in mid-air.

The Bodhi tree branches emit a faint, bitter yet fragrant aroma.

Zhou Leng reached out and took it; the branch swayed and then came to rest.

"Bodhi Saint!"

The people of Xiangguo nearby bowed their heads in respect to Zhou Leng.

The junior manager grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth. He never expected that the person he had casually greeted would turn out to be the Bodhi Saint.

He rushed over and explained the relevant matters to Zhou Leng.

"From now on, you are free to come and go as you please..."

"Even in the capital, you are an honored guest..."

"With this identity, you can assume an important position in the Elephant Kingdom..."

After he spoke for a while, Zhou Leng said, "I just want to cultivate here for a while. As for other things, you can arrange them for me after I finish cultivating. I won't treat you unfairly."

"Don't worry!" The junior manager of Xiangguo was blushing.

Meeting a benefactor can change the course of your life.

Zhou Leng ignored everything else and, under everyone's watchful eyes, walked around the Bodhi tree with a Bodhi branch in his hand, choosing a small hut to isolate himself from outside prying eyes.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, placed a Bodhi tree branch on his knees, laid out the finger bone relic, and took out two Grandmaster-level demon puppets that he had seized in the Tree People World. He stood on either side of the hut, guarding them.

Apply the Frost Armor to the inside of your clothes for protection.

In the land of elephants, anything can happen.

The Bodhi tree, when it encountered the people of the Elephant Kingdom, was destined to be stabbed.

After doing everything, close your eyes and begin your practice.

A faint, bitter scent of grass wafts through my nostrils.

Subsequently, he became highly focused, and even his martial arts will was affected.

A strange aura enveloped my entire body.

Consciousness and martial will were split in two.

The scent of the Bodhi tree, like a whetstone, gently sharpens one's martial will.

Consciousness then ascends to a wondrous state, observing all changes in the body.

Zhou Leng's heart stirred, and he began to circulate the Great Sun Divine Art.

An unprecedented feeling spread throughout my body.

In the past, when practicing the Great Sun Divine Skill, all attention was focused on the skill itself, which was like being in the mountain but unable to see the whole picture.

Now, I can not only have a general view of the whole situation, but also perceive the most subtle changes within it.

His ability to perceive the Great Sun Divine Art is more than ten times greater than before.

Zhou Leng suddenly realized why it was said that the Bodhi tree could enhance one's understanding.

A tenfold increase in understanding of a particular skill can be considered an improvement in comprehension.

So, with the help of the Bodhi Tree, he practiced the Great Sun Divine Art again and again.

Zhou Leng was already quite talented, and with the help of divine script and the guidance of his master, the Void God, his martial arts abilities have become extremely high over the years.

Ten times the understanding is almost equivalent to directly reaching the level of a martial saint.

Zhou Leng is now cultivating everything at the level of a Martial Saint.

The Starry Sky True Energy version of the Great Sun Divine Skill was originally created by Zhou Lengban and has many flaws.

But you don't usually notice it.

Now my awareness has increased tenfold, and every flaw is clearly visible.

Therefore, he began to modify the Great Sun Divine Art at the level of a Martial Saint.

After reaching the limit of cultivation, one can transform into an immortal celestial body.

Once you've cultivated to your limit, then switch to the Star Phoenix Return to Heaven Technique.

A completely different cultivation experience filled my entire body.

The understanding and mastery of all techniques improved at an unimaginable speed.

The more you practice, the more joyful your mind and spirit become.

Only after reaching his physical limit did he leave the cabin and head towards the hotel.

On the way, I overheard some martial artists discussing the Bodhi tree in hushed tones.

"How much has your comprehension improved?"

"I'm around 2.5 times, what about you guys?"

"I'm about the same, I can't reach 3 times." "I heard that if the strongest Martial Saint comes here, their comprehension limit can be increased by 5 times."

"too strong……"

After resting at the hotel, I returned to the cabin under the tree. This time, instead of practicing martial arts, I slowly practiced the East Wind Fist.

With each punch, every detail of the body was perceived tenfold.

A constant stream of insights welled up in my mind, wave after wave, like endless ocean waves, impacting my spirit.

The joy of cultivation returns once again.

And so, Zhou Leng began his long-term cultivation under the Bodhi tree.

Occasionally, people from Bodhi City would come to inquire about the identity of the Bodhi Saint, but they were all politely refused. Occasionally, someone would try to probe, but they would be easily suppressed and leave obediently.

Besides cultivation, he would occasionally sit under the Bodhi tree to contemplate the heart of martial arts and the path to sainthood.

time flies.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Leng felt that his martial arts realm had finally reached a bottleneck.

His body, his spiritual realm, and his cultivation techniques have all reached their limits.

If you wish to attain sainthood, you can do so now.

But to achieve a perfect ascension to sainthood like Zhao Dongjun, something is still missing.

Deep down, it felt like there was a voice inside me saying that there was something I hadn't done.

It felt like an obsession, a regret, and a longing.

But what exactly it is remains uncertain.

Zhou Leng looked up at the Bodhi tree. It had reached its current limit and was no longer of any use.

After sitting in front of the Bodhi tree for another day, Zhou Leng drifted away.

Leaving Tianjiang Demon City and Xiang Kingdom, he traveled north alone, crossing mountains and valleys, and arrived at Xiangjin.

In Xiangjin City, I bought several sets of clothing from a hundred years ago, including a large number of straw sandals, and wore them.

Embark on a complex navigation system covering 12,500 kilometers and move forward.

As they walked, Zhou Leng played an audiobook of "Dongjun Miscellany".

Along the way, they kept encountering martial artists dressed similarly, either acting alone or in groups.

Regardless of gender or age.

They didn't know each other, yet they were very familiar with each other.

This road, which stretches for over 10,000 kilometers, is known as the Long Road to Enlightenment.

The first reason is that this road embodies the spiritual strength for the establishment of the new Dragon Kingdom.

This path may not be the greatest, the most glorious, or the most tragic.

But it is definitely the longest road.

The second reason is that almost 90% of the grandmasters and all the martial saints in the Dragon Kingdom have retraced this path.

This road is not only marked with the blood and sweat of our martyrs, but also with the spirit and strength of powerful martial artists.

More than once, people have completed the long path to enlightenment and gained unimaginable insights, breaking through bottlenecks and advancing to new realms.

Even some grandmasters and martial saints have admitted that after completing the long path of enlightenment, they gained an unprecedented power.

Therefore, many Chinese martial artists who encounter bottlenecks, as well as foreign martial artists, and even steel dwarves, magic spirit masters, or giants, will participate in this long path of enlightenment.

Even some members of the Demonic Cult secretly take this path in order to advance in martial arts.

After leaving, he betrayed the Demon Worship Cult.

Many people online say that this path is the one that ordinary martial artists can get closest to becoming a martial saint.

Zhou Leng never turned on the internet, isolating himself from all external interference. Apart from listening to "Dongjun Miscellany," he did nothing else.

He didn't talk to anyone, just walked briskly, and then started jogging.

This navigation route will pass by numerous historical sites, occasionally stopping to read before continuing on its way.

Unlike his cultivation in the Elephant Kingdom, this time Zhou Leng neither ate nor drank, nor slept.

Running day and night without stopping.

Instead of running at full speed, I kept my speed at around 30 kilometers per hour.

If you walk normally, it will take at least three or four months.

If it's too fast, it loses its purpose of providing insight.

Thirty kilometers per hour is considered the optimal speed by many martial arts masters.

Even for a grandmaster, maintaining this speed without eating or drinking is an immense challenge.

In order to reach the required level of refinement, Zhou Leng even deliberately stopped using various supernatural abilities, such as preventing the Tree Man supernatural ability from absorbing external power.

One day, two days, three days...

For Zhou Leng, going three days without food, water, sleep, or rest was a piece of cake.

On the fourth day, subtle changes began to appear.

My body can still hold on, but the feeling of hunger is starting to spread.

But we insist on not absorbing external forces, maintaining the highest level of training, and continuing to run.

Passing by the Xiangjiang battlefield, even after a century, the sheer brutality still assaults the senses.

Here, many lives were lost forever in order to cover the retreat of their comrades.

After crossing the Xiangjiang battlefield, we arrived in Bozhou and entered the site of that famous meeting.

This place became one of the most crucial turning points in the new Dragon Kingdom, establishing the most correct leadership.

It was here that Zhao Dongjun comprehended the tenth move of the Dongfeng Fist, "I am granted the mandate of heaven," which greatly expanded the power of the Dongfeng Fist.

Zhou Leng did not immediately set off, but instead studied the entire process of the Bozhou Conference again. After gaining some knowledge, he continued on his journey.

Soon, we arrived at the famous Red River.

Zhou Leng completely recreated the process at that time, crossing the Red River four times, and experiencing the unimaginable tactics.

After that, they crossed the Jinshi River, forded a great river, seized a treacherous bridge, climbed snow-capped mountains, and traversed grasslands...

Zhou Leng's body possesses stellar characteristics. If not deliberately suppressed, it can continuously absorb power from the outside world, and at this pace, he will not feel hungry or tired.

However, Zhou Leng stopped the process.

From beginning to end, it refused to absorb any external power, shielded itself from the true energy of the stars, and did not eat, drink, sleep, or rest.

Just to get closer to the feelings of the martyrs of that time, just to resonate with them.
