Becoming a god by following the natural order and seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Chapter 45 Marrow Transformation!

On the 22nd day of the tenth month of the seventh year of the Mingjing reign of the Daqian era, at night.

The North City Military Camp was shrouded in deep silence, with only a single candle flickering inside the government office, illuminating Chen Sheng's tall and imposing figure.

He slowly withdrew from his stance, and the pale golden light around him receded like the tide, disappearing beneath his solid muscles.

His bare upper body featured smooth, clearly defined muscle lines, seemingly brimming with explosive power. Exhaling a long breath, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged, his mind sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Basic knife skills perfected (282/2000)]

[Mastery of the Golden Bell Body Forging Method (999/1000)]

[The Secret Technique of Fishing for Toads (Minor Success) (54/500)]

[Minor Mastery of the Three Ultimate Demon-Slaying Sword Techniques (391/500)]

Since obtaining the Spirit Essence Gu, he has been single-minded, devoting all his energy to breaking through the bottleneck, even temporarily setting aside the cultivation of other techniques. He has been working hard day and night without stopping, and finally, at this moment, he has pushed the Golden Bell Body Forging Method to the extreme edge of the Bone Forging Realm.

Just one last step is needed to open the door to a higher realm.

Chen Sheng did not rush things. He calmed his mind and regulated his breathing for a full hour, until his mind was completely at peace and his blood and qi returned to normal, before solemnly taking out the sandalwood box.

The box was opened, and the jade-like Spirit Essence Gu lay quietly inside.

Chen Sheng's gaze was calm. Without hesitation, he circulated his inner energy. With a slight movement of his palm, a barely audible sound was heard. The rare Gu worm instantly transformed into a lump of warm, viscous white paste, emitting a faint, strange fragrance.

He carefully and evenly applied the ointment, which contained the essence of life, to the vital points and acupoints all over his body.

At first, I only felt a cool sensation. Then, the cream seemed to come alive, as if it had a spirit, penetrating into my skin through my pores, bringing an indescribable tingling and nourishing feeling.

This is how the essence of the Spirit Marrow Gu's flesh and blood is used—direct and domineering, far more gentle than waiting for the Spirit Marrow Liquid.

With preparations complete, Chen Sheng, his face solemn, resumed the starting stance of the "Golden Bell Body Forging Method".

His movements were no longer confined to fixed stances, but rather he integrated all the stance training he had learned, practicing them one by one from slow to fast.

The joints throughout the body emitted subtle and harmonious sounds with each movement, making the whole body seem like a precisely operating machine, and the flow of qi and blood accelerated accordingly.

Breaking through to the next realm and transforming one's essence—it happens tonight!
His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his resolve was as firm as iron.

As the cultivation technique intensified, the essence of the spiritual marrow Gu applied to his body surface seeped into his body at a faster rate, merging with his own qi and blood. Under the candlelight, his skin faintly shone with a lustrous glow, as if it had been cleansed and refined from the inside out.

Time slipped away silently.

Chen Sheng was completely immersed in sensing the changes within his body.

He could clearly sense that his acupoints were being lit up and expanded one by one, like stars, and that every inch of his bones was vibrating at a high frequency, emitting a buzzing sound that only he could hear.

Qi and blood surged and rushed through the meridians like the Yangtze River, crashing against that invisible barrier.

This is precisely the most crucial phenomenon in breaking through to the Marrow Transformation Realm: "Muscles and bones resonate together, qi and blood are melted together"!
After an unknown amount of time, the essence of the spiritual marrow Gu on the surface of his body had been completely absorbed and refined, leaving not a trace. In its place was a vast power that had been accumulating within him, ready to burst forth!
Deep within my consciousness, it felt as if something had been suddenly broken through.

[Golden Bell Body Tempering Method Completed (1/2000)]

The moment the progress bar quietly jumped, Chen Sheng was trembling violently.

An unprecedented sense of power instantly swept through his limbs and bones, permeating every tiny meridian.

The previously restrained pale golden luster suddenly burst forth, its brilliance far surpassing anything before. If he deliberately maintained it, his skin would almost appear bronze-colored. After undergoing extreme compression and refining, the quality and quantity of his internal energy and blood underwent a tremendous transformation, becoming incomparably powerful.

With a slight exertion of force, the muscles and bones spontaneously resonate, emitting a deep and powerful tremor, as if undergoing a thousand hammerings.

The Marrow Transformation Realm, a formidable barrier that has separated countless martial artists, was crossed by him in a single step today!
The benefits of breaking through to a higher realm go far beyond this.

The physical body becomes increasingly solid and dense during the tempering process, and some impurities and toxins accumulated from daily consumption of elixirs are gradually expelled from the body through the pores under this transformative trembling and vibration.

Late stage of Foundation Establishment, Marrow Transformation Realm, achieved!

Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, his pupils revealing a sharp, piercing light. He exhaled a long breath, slightly foul, and finally couldn't help but let out a hearty smile.

Finally... it's done!
Since his transfer from the border army, he has been planning and advancing step by step, enduring hardship and cultivating his skills. Today, he has finally truly entered the inner circle and stepped into the ranks of the top military forces in Changshan County.

From then on, he dared not say he could run rampant in Changshan County, but unless he fell into a deadly trap carefully set by several experts of the same level, it would be extremely difficult to keep him here.

"No wonder martial artists at the Marrow Transformation stage can dominate a region..."

Chen Sheng felt the surging power within his body, far exceeding that of the Bone Forging Realm by several times. He murmured to himself, carefully savoring the various mysteries brought about by the advancement in his realm.

He casually raised his hand and waved it forward, and a crisp, explosive sound immediately erupted in the air.

Then, he slightly parted his legs, lowered his waist to sit upright, and pressed down with one palm. As soon as he thought of it, an invisible force flowed, causing the air to hum slightly in front of his palm, about a foot away.

This is not something that only innate masters can do, but rather a unique characteristic of martial artists who have reached the Marrow Transformation stage – “externalizing force”!
He gently patted the edge of the sturdy wooden table beside him.

With a soft "poof," a clear handprint was left on the table. Around the handprint, the wood grain cracked slightly like a spider web, a sign that the person was new to this realm and had not yet perfected their control over the suddenly surging power.

Chen Sheng raised his hand again with great interest, snapping two strands of hair that were hanging down. He then channeled his energy. The two seemingly weightless strands of hair strangely floated an inch above his palm, motionless.

Not a fly can land, not even a feather can be added!

This is the most significant sign of mastering the subtlety of internal energy in the Marrow Transformation Realm.

After some practice and getting used to the surge of power, Chen Sheng slowly stopped, his turbulent emotions gradually calming down, and his gaze regaining its usual calm and depth.

Since his ambush on his way to his new post, he has almost never fought anyone with his full strength. Instead, he has relied on strategy to ambush or weaken opponents before finally winning with a single blow.

Even he himself was finding it difficult to accurately estimate the extent of his combat power when he exerted his full strength.

But I imagine it's definitely not weak.

Although the Buddhist top-level "Golden Bell Body Forging Method" is difficult to cultivate, once one achieves a certain level, the resulting increase in physical defense and strength far surpasses that of ordinary cultivation methods of the same level.

Furthermore, this is supplemented by the fully mastered "Basic Sword Techniques" and the already partially mastered and formidable "Three Ultimate Demon-Subduing Sword Techniques"...

Chen Sheng lightly clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking softly, a subtle urge to test his skills rising within him.

But he quickly suppressed the thought.

On the path of martial arts, one must guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

While a significant increase in strength is certainly welcome, it is even more important to remember that "stability" should be the top priority.

Why fight a brute force when you can outsmart the enemy?

If a shortcut can be taken to achieve the goal with minimal cost, why insist on a head-on confrontation and increase the risk?
