The Rise of the Witch

Human martial arts cultivation is actually based on the immortal path. Although they look different, one strengthens the physical body and the other focuses on cultivating the soul, there are overlaps in their cultivation paths.

The path of immortality involves cultivating the mind, sensing the spiritual light within the body, strengthening thoughts, forming mental power, comprehending one's own path, and then drawing out the true spirit, which transforms into divine thought.

Using divine thought as a supplement, one combines one's own Dao and true spirit into one, condensing the golden elixir, which is the realm of elixir formation.

The Golden Core Realm, like the Purple Pattern Realm of the Witch, is also a process of true spirit transformation. Nurturing the Golden Core is the process of transforming the true spirit.

Once the Golden Core breaks and the Holy Infant emerges, it becomes a divine soul, capable of breaking free from the constraints of the physical body. With a single thought, it can change the world, shift the stars, and travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening; this is also known as divine travel.

Martial arts refine the body and bones, then sense and strengthen the qi and blood, condense one's own will, and draw out the true spirit. Similarly, martial arts will serves as an aid, integrating qi and blood with the true spirit to reach the stage of elixir formation.

However, the path of martial arts has not found the way to transform into a true spirit, so martial arts stops at the stage of forming a elixir, and all great cultivators are immortal cultivators.

Although the names of martial arts and immortality are different, they are essentially the same. Just like in the cultivation of immortality, some cultivators guide their true spirit with their own resentment and obsession, which is also a path of immortality.

Therefore, the martial arts of the human race today can be considered another path of immortality.

Xingyang's "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques" directly integrates the true spirit into the physical body, thereby achieving physical sainthood. This is a completely different path from the Immortal Path!

The "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques" that Ren Yanzhu learned was actually just the "Qi and Blood Chapter," because she was already able to sense her own Qi and blood through martial arts practice.

But the human body possesses spirituality in far more than just qi and blood!

The heart beats automatically without any control; this is instinct and the heart's spirituality. The same is true for other organs, each with its own instinctive function and spirituality.

Skin can sense temperature, shrink pores on its own, regulate body temperature, muscles can twitch on their own, tendons and bones can grow and heal on their own... These are all instincts, they are all spirituality.

Therefore, every part of a person's body, every organ, every muscle, skin, and bone can be strengthened, thereby perceiving its spirituality.

Instead of just focusing on Qi and blood!

……

Xingyang's war dance may seem like just a continuous dance, but each movement contains a vast array of subtle, imperceptible movements, such as the opening and closing of the skin, the trembling of the muscles, the grinding of the bones, and the rhythmic contraction of the internal organs...

These subtle movements can only be truly understood by Xing Yang, who performs the war dance, and these feelings are indescribable in words.

Therefore, the war shaman's war dance can only be inherited from the shaman spirit.

After the Battle Dance was broken down into the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," with a foundation in martial arts, the "Qi and Blood Chapter" was the easiest to teach. Some basic movements could change the flow of Qi and blood.

Other sections, such as the "Internal Organs Chapter," require special breathing and vocalizations... The "Skin and Flesh Chapter" requires subtle contractions and rhythmic movements of the skin and flesh... The "Muscles and Bones Chapter" requires precise grinding and stretching...

Yu Xi is indeed talented!

She was able to perform all nine moves and eight beats perfectly after only being taught them once.

Within that small body, the vital energy surged like a mighty river, flowing ceaselessly.

The essence gained from digesting the peaches and apricots in the body flows in like rivers, continuously strengthening the blood and qi, making the blood more viscous and the spirituality more vigorous.

After just one round, Yu Xi was able to clearly sense the flow of qi and blood within her body, and this sense was quite obvious.

Once you perceive the Qi and blood, you can control them, thereby transporting them to nourish and strengthen the body's internal organs, bones, muscles, and tendons in a targeted manner.

Xing Yang examined it and said with satisfaction, "Now the essence you have digested has been integrated into your blood and qi. As your blood and qi flow throughout your body, your body is passively receiving nourishment from your blood and qi and being passively strengthened."

Later, when I teach you the other chapters of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," every part of your body will be able to actively absorb vital energy, strengthening itself without the need for blood and qi. This will allow your progress to rival that of others.

After a pause, Xing Yang continued seriously, "But correspondingly, your need for vital energy far exceeds that of others... Do you know how to obtain vital energy?"

Without hesitation, Yu Xi replied, "Eat good food!"

"clever!"

Xing Yang gave a thumbs up and praised, "You truly are my disciple! Since there's a big meal coming up, I'll teach you the 'Internal Organs Chapter' to speed up digestion. Are you afraid of becoming a glutton?"

"I'm not afraid!" Yu Xi tilted her little face up and said happily, "I want to eat a lot, the more the better!"

"Okay! I'll teach you!"

The chapter on "Internal Organs" is more difficult to teach than the chapter on "Qi and Blood". The operation of some organs can only be understood through personal experience, and cannot be described in words.

For example, when it comes to using the lungs to produce sound, most people can only understand it as using the chest cavity, but using the lungs is something that is impossible to imagine...

Xing Yang simply used his own spirituality to personally guide her through the experience several times, and only then could she barely be considered to have entered the door.

……

The table was laden with dishes, all made from the leftover thighs of the Demon King. After entertaining the group brought by Su Wenling, there was still a huge pile left.

Knowing Xingyang's appetite, Lan Nu simply cooked everything.

The four people sat around the table, and Su Wenling was discussing something in a low voice with Gui Ning, seemingly about the clan's stance.

In her words, Su Wenling seemed to be trying to win over Gui Ning's clan. Once she did, the Yanzi clan would gain one more medium-sized clan and five more small clans.

Of course, the most important thing is that we can have one more sword cultivator at the Spirit Guiding Realm!

Gui Ning was clearly wavering.

However, as they chatted, the two women gradually stopped what they were doing and looked at Yu Xi.

Yu Xi, who was wolfing down her food, didn't notice anything amiss and continued to eat heartily. The food in front of her disappeared at a visible speed.

Xing Yang smiled and, without making a sound, pushed the dish in front of him away, only taking a small bite.

In the end, seven or eight out of ten of the dishes on the table ended up in Yu Xi's little belly.

The two women stared in disbelief.

The essence contained in the demon king's flesh and blood was extremely vast, and even the two of them, who were at the Spirit Induction Realm, could not digest too much of it.

Yu Xi, a girl who has just started cultivating, is actually able to digest such a huge amount of essence?

Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?

After stuffing the last piece of meat into her mouth, Yu Xi pushed away her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, saying, "Master, I'm going to practice!"

Xing Yang nodded with a smile: "Go ahead!"

Yu Xi then ran outside, struck a pose, and began to dance, while making strange sounds such as "humph, ha, gu..."

Su Wenling asked worriedly, "Husband, is Xiaoyu alright after eating so much?"

Xing Yang looked at Yu Xi outside, his expression full of satisfaction: "What could possibly happen? This meal is enough for her to perform two merits."

Outside, Yu Xi's body quickly became steamy, a sign that her blood and qi were circulating to their fullest extent.

At the same time, hot air was exhaled from her mouth and nose, turning into white mist, and her internal organs were being continuously strengthened.

Her once bulging belly visibly deflated.

Seeing this, Gui Ning was secretly alarmed and said, "I understand what you mean, young lady. I will discuss it with the clan when I get back and give you an answer as soon as possible."
