Chapter 5: Martial Arts in the Divine Tomb - Rapid Advancement

The "Summoning Demon Scripture," also known as the Martial Canon, comes from the neighboring world of Tomb of the Gods. It is a divine skill passed down through the Chen family. In addition to the main manual, it also contains many powerful forbidden martial arts.

Techniques such as the Dragon-Capturing Hand, the God-Trapping Finger, the Seven Demon Blades Against Heaven, the Heaven-Shaking Demon Art, the Divine Void Step, and the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon... are enough to be used up to the Heavenly Rank without losing value.

The essence of the Summoning Demon Scripture is less about martial arts and more about a forbidden formation that uses people as arrays and souls to nourish souls.

The "Summoning Demon Scripture," as its name suggests, is a powerful martial art created by the Chen Ancestor, the Old Demon Chen. When practiced correctly, it cultivates golden true energy, while when reversed, it turns into black true energy, awakening the forbidden demonic nature within the body and gradually transforming the user into a demon.

The more times the Summoning Scripture is reversed, the more powerful it becomes, but power often comes with the risk of losing control.

However, as long as a cultivator has strong enough talent, a consistent belief, and a firm sense of self, even if they are truly split into two bodies, god and demon, they can reunite as one. Chen Zhan is a typical example of this.

In fact, the "Summoning Demons Scripture" underwent certain alterations and changes during its transmission due to being handled by different people.

Chen Da, under the influence of Youming Tian, ​​added a lot of embellishments. He misinterpreted "Call Me True Demon" as calling upon the soul of his ancestor, Chen Laomo, and morally blackmailed his clansmen to sacrifice themselves to resurrect their distant ancestor. In reality, he secretly coveted the soul power of his most outstanding clansmen and descendants.

Those who practice this technique can activate the ancestral legacy flowing in their blood, gather the ancestral consciousness and soul fragments remaining in their blood and in the world, and use their bodies as an array to nourish and gather their souls.

This isn't entirely without its benefits; the process of nourishing the soul with the soul naturally enhances the host's own soul, body, comprehension, and strength.

Cultivators can actually nourish more than just the ancestral soul. Multiple souls will not compete for nutrients and slow down the recovery process; on the contrary, they will amplify and strengthen the formation's effect.

Therefore, the Chen family collects divine weapons and treasures, extracts the souls of these treasures, and injects them into cultivators' bodies to help them nourish and gather their souls.

The "Summoning Demon Scripture" that Chen Hao drew out was a version that had been passed down through the Chen family for countless years by Chen Da, and it was neither the original version of Chen Laomo nor the final revised version by Chen Nan.

For Chen Hao, he was more concerned with the martial arts system of the Tomb of the Gods that the "Summoning Demon Scripture" represented than with the "Summoning Demon Scripture" itself.

More accurately, it is the inner world system that begins to evolve after the sixth rank, and the powerful immortality of the indestructible battle soul of the strong, which allows them to defy the heavens and return with a trace of spiritual consciousness even if their soul is scattered or they have gone through endless reincarnation.

What Chen Hao values ​​is the unique mechanism of the Divine Tomb Warriors. As for the numerical values, they are not important. He will not rely on just one leg in the future, since he will also be cultivating the Secret Realm Technique in the future.

Previously, due to the dispersal of his cultivation of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Technique, he unexpectedly impacted and dissolved the Bitter Sea, and could already be considered a cultivator at the lower level of the Bitter Sea Realm.

Moreover, the scripture he cultivated was the essence of the Dao of Human Desire, which originated from the Dao and Dharma of his ancestors and manifested as a small person as his soul and primordial spirit during his birth when his imperial blood was boiling like Ye Tong's. (This was the version that Emperor Hengyu deduced and revised for his Dao of Human Desire ancestor friends after he became emperor.)

There is also a complete set of quasi-emperor level scriptures created after the Yellow Emperor had three thousand women, as well as various scattered and unsystematic inheritances of Earth's ancestors and their past lives.

Chen Hao believed that with his talent, it was only a matter of time before he could take off, provided he could find a more normal place.

After carefully studying the "Summoning Demon Scripture," Chen Hao deduced that he might not be able to truly master this technique by following the prescribed methods.

It's probably impossible to become stronger by constantly reversing the Xuan Gong's corruption and turning into a demon, since this technique was specifically created for the bloodline and physique of the Chen family in the God's Tomb world.

However, even if he wasn't a member of the Chen family of the Divine Tomb, and was probably destined to never reach the pinnacle of the Demon Summoning Scripture, just like the Du family who received the profound skills from Chen Zhan, Chen Hao didn't care.

Even if it's not compatible with Xuan Gong, the Demon Summoning Scripture is still a rare top-tier technique in the God's Tomb world. In any case, let's practice it first.

He can familiarize himself with this system now. If he really can't break through the shackles, he can abandon his original profound skills and create new ones after gaining some understanding.

After making the decision, Chen Hao immediately began to cultivate the "Summoning Demon Scripture". Unexpectedly, his cultivation was extremely smooth, and his breakthroughs were unstoppable. The freshly cultivated golden true energy flowed through his meridians without any stagnation.

Chen Hao was radiant, his eyes wide open as if a thunderbolt were shooting out, and his whole body was glowing, dazzling and eye-catching.

Beneath her skin, which was as translucent and smooth as mutton fat jade, golden true energy flowed throughout her body, naturally causing a brilliant golden halo to emanate from her.

At this moment, he was enveloped in a layer of golden light, sacred and solemn, like a statue of a war god cast entirely in gold descending to earth.

  

"Hmm? Is this...right?"

Chen Hao muttered to himself that his cultivation was far too easy, as if he had lost a level after reaching the maximum level and started a new account to level up like a rocket.

Although there was little replenishment of the essence of heaven and earth due to the environment, and no additional natural treasures to compensate, the stats were still quite average and did not receive significant enhancement.

However, in terms of realm, in the short time it took to think and be stunned, Chen Hao, who had already rapidly cultivated to the fifth level, quietly broke through to the sixth level of the True Martial Realm.

And he is rapidly advancing towards the seventh-order Immortal Martial Realm, which allows him to comprehend the secrets of life and death, enter the ranks of immortals, and break through the void.

If this were set in the world of God's Tomb, according to Chen Nan, who had just crawled out of his grave not long ago, his father Chen Zhan had reached the level of almost achieving the Immortal Martial Realm before his death, a level that would allow him to live for at least ten thousand years.

In other words, if we disregard environmental factors that significantly reduce lifespan, Chen Hao, who may already have a lifespan of ten thousand years, is roughly equivalent to the lifespan of an emperor. Congratulations, Chen Hao, you've really lived a long life!

In the cultivation system of the Tomb of the Gods world, the first level of martial artists is called "Refining Essence into Qi," while cultivators are called "Foundation Building."

The second level of a martial artist is called the "Innate Realm". The third level of a martial artist is called the "Trapped Dragon Realm" or "Sword Qi Emerging from the Body", which means that energy can be released externally. The fourth level of a martial artist is called "Refining Qi into Spirit", which is called "Core Formation" by Taoist cultivators.

Martial artists who reach the fifth level are called peerless masters. This realm is called "Spirit Condensation and Qi Solidification," while cultivators call it "Nascent Soul," which has the ability to reverse aging.

Only when a martial artist reaches this level can they be considered to have truly entered the realm of cultivation. Their divine sense has already taken shape and they can begin to communicate with the essence of heaven and earth.

A sixth-tier martial artist is one with essence, energy, and spirit, able to communicate with the essence of heaven and earth, integrate themselves into the world, and become the master of a region.

In a sense, it can be considered a state of harmony between man and nature. At this stage, martial artists can finally fly through the air and gradually reveal many mysterious supernatural abilities such as the ability to see the heavens.

In fact, other professions besides martial artists, such as cultivators and Western magicians, can also fly in the early stages by controlling magical artifacts or riding the wind, without having to wait until the sixth rank, and are not as stable as martial artists in the early stages.

In the world of Shenmu, everyone has the potential to open up their "inner world," which is the most unique aspect of the cultivation system in Shenmu.

The inner and outer universes of the human body correspond to each other. The concept of the microcosm of the human body and the macrocosm of the outside world, often mentioned in Huang Yi's novels, the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of the human body, are all embodied in this moment.
