Gao Wu: Starting with playing the Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e

In a realm of divine power, even a single glance can kill!

He has already entered the Divine Strength stage, and his physical strength alone is as great as two thousand. He has cultivated the Aperture Opening Method "Jia Sheng Qian Mu Tu" and opened forty-five apertures in his body. With the two combined, his strength is nearly three thousand!

But...but...

As Wang Chen approached the reception hall, he looked at the yellow-faced old monk with a half-smile not far away and sighed inwardly.

Even if it were a dart made of refined iron or a steel needle, with his skill, he could throw it more than ten feet away, or even further, with an accuracy of no more than three millimeters.

But that yellow-faced old monk threw away wooden chopsticks!

It should be noted that there are also rules to follow when it comes to concealed weapons. Generally speaking, the heavier and more durable the weapon, the better it is.

The harder the material, the stronger its killing power; the heavier the material, the better its accuracy.

Wooden chopsticks, in the context of concealed weapons, are considered the lowest grade.

It has a loose texture, is light and brittle. If too much force is applied, it will shatter completely; if too little force is applied, it will have no killing power.

Thinking back to this, Wang Chen recalled the long chopstick that had pierced through the high-quality stone beside him.

It looked as if it were made of fine steel, able to penetrate the stone, but Wang Chen could see clearly that it was just an ordinary wooden chopstick.

Let alone a divine warrior, even someone at the Unity Realm probably couldn't achieve this level!

Only those powerful cultivators with inner energy who have already cultivated their spiritual seed can probably do this.

Where did this old monk come from?

Wang Chen walked into the hall step by step. When Wang Yuande saw the dejected look on Wang Chen's body, he knew that Tang Luo was not joking. This move was quite impressive.

Tang Luo also paid attention to Wang Chen's expression. Seeing his expression as if several horses had died, he smiled slightly to himself.

With the enhancement of his internal energy, his five senses were so strong that they were almost exaggerated. In terms of hearing alone, he was several levels stronger than "Hearing the Wind".

Wang Chen's heartbeat was like a drumbeat in his ears. He could see it clearly from the beginning, and he could even deduce most of Wang Chen's strength from the sound of the drum. He had not revealed his strength until this moment.

As the art of war says, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

He has achieved self-knowledge, but he has not yet achieved knowledge of others.

He only knew that after the Divine Might came Unity, and after Unity came the Spirit Seed, but he knew nothing about the specific manifestations of these two realms.

His actions were twofold: first, to intimidate, and second, to assess his own strength in advance.

This person's heart rate is similar to that of [Ke Zhen'e], and coupled with the unique power of the 'acupoints' in this world's cultivation, he should be in the 'Divine Strength' realm of this world.

But the fact that he can show such an expression suggests that he is probably stronger than someone in the Unity Realm.

"However..." Tang Luo shook his head slightly.

When Wang Yuande was willing to show him all the books in his library, he no longer needed to be tested.

After all, there must be a detailed explanation of this realm in the library.

"But who doesn't want to show off?"

Tang Luo felt the vast and boundless internal energy within his body and didn't take the matter too seriously.

"Take me to the library." After Tang Luo finished speaking, Wang Yuande immediately stood up and led the way for Tang Luo. In a short while, they arrived at the corner of the mansion, in front of a pavilion that was not too big.

Judging from his heartbeat, the old man inside the door was fairly strong, but he was probably only at the fourth or fifth level of Body Tempering, not yet at the Divine Strength level.

After seeing Wang Yuande and Wang Chen behind him, he said nothing and let Tang Luo go in.

The attic doesn't look big from the outside, and it's even smaller from the inside, with only seven or eight rows of bookshelves, and probably only a couple of thousand books in total.

But when Tang Luo turned to look at Wang Yuande, there was a hint of undisguised smugness on his face.

This shows that this library was one of his proudest possessions.

But he clearly suppressed the urge to boast, and instead pointed to the three rows of bookshelves at the very back:

"Master, the first two rows of those three rows, plus the upper half of the third row, contain all the cultivation techniques in the library. The lower half of the third row contains visualization diagrams. Please feel free to take a look. We will not disturb your enjoyment any longer and will take our leave for now."

Tang Luo nodded and walked straight to the back three rows of bookshelves. He randomly picked up a book from the shelf and began to read it. Behind him, Wang Yuande and the other man also left quietly, closing the door behind them.

Bathed in the sunlight streaming through the window, Tang Luo sat cross-legged in front of the bookshelf, holding his collection of books and turning the pages one by one.

As the rustling sound of pages turning filled the air, Tang Luo's brows furrowed even more.

He already knew that the methods of opening the mind here were divided into four levels: lower, middle, and upper, corresponding to the four categories of opening the mind: 1929, 3949, 5969, and 79.

The highest level of enlightenment method can open sixty-three orifices and possesses various unique qualities.

The records here state that, in addition to these four categories, there is another type of method for opening the mind, called the "Earthly Fiend Opening Method".

It can open eight or nine, or even nine or nine, of the mind.

Unfortunately, the power of the "Earthly Fiend Opening Method" was not recorded in detail here. It was only briefly explained to Tang Luo that there was such a method of opening the mind.

It is said that by using this method of enlightenment, one will gain all sorts of incredible and miraculous abilities.

Upon reaching this point, Tang Luo paused, suddenly recalling the "Foundation Method of the Great Yin-Yang Harmony," in which the successful cultivation of "Moon Yin Connects with the Netherworld" and "Sun Brightness Connects with the Divine" could also give rise to various supernatural phenomena.

"Is it also an Earthly Fiend Technique? Or is it something even higher?"

But Tang Luo shook his head again, banishing the thought of not being able to find an answer from his mind, and continued to pull out books from the two rows of bookshelves in front of him, flipping through them with a rustling sound.

After a long while, Tang Luo scanned the books from the first row to the last row, put the book "Source of Enlightenment" back on the last shelf, frowned, and stopped walking.

The two and a half rows of bookshelves in front of me have a considerable number of books, but most of them are annotations and commentaries on cultivation techniques, including the insights of cultivators throughout history. There are only seventy-eight actual cultivation techniques.

Twenty-one of them are incomplete, and most of them are missing the method of enlightenment or the visualization diagram.

Of the complete fifty-seven books, eighteen have reached the level of enlightenment twenty-seven, twenty-four have reached the level of enlightenment thirty-six, thirteen have reached the level of enlightenment forty-five, and two have reached the level of enlightenment fifty-four. As for anything higher, there are none.

Among these techniques, all those with twenty-seven acupoints can only reach the "Divine Strength" stage and have no further techniques. Of those with thirty-six acupoints, nineteen can only reach the Divine Strength stage, while the remaining five can be cultivated to the Unity Realm.

Of the 45 techniques for opening the apertures, six can stop the progress and strengthen the spirit, six can lead to the return to oneness, and only one can touch the 'spiritual seed'. Of the two techniques for opening the apertures, not only can one cultivate to the spiritual seed, but both also have their own insights on how to break through to the innate level.

"But...why is there no method for tempering the skull?" Tang Luo scratched his head, puzzled. If the cultivation methods of this world don't temper the skull, wouldn't that be a huge flaw?

However, thanks to these annotations on the cultivation techniques, Tang Luo finally understood the difference between "Return to One" and "Spirit Seed".

The so-called "Return to One" state is a process in which the acupoints, spirit, and blood are integrated. When integration begins, one has entered the state of Return to One; when integration is complete, one has reached the state of Perfect Return to One.

After complete integration, the process is called "fusion". The strength and blood in the acupoints are transformed into "seeds" and planted in the acupoints under the fusion of the soul. Once the first seed is planted, one enters the spiritual seed stage. The "seed" will continuously transform the blood and strength into "internal energy".

When all the opened acupoints are planted with spiritual seeds, and the acupoints are filled with internal energy, the spiritual seeds are considered fully developed.

Then comes the refining of the body by internal energy. Once the refining is complete, the spiritual seed is perfected.

Then comes the guidance of the soul, leading to the 'Innate' stage.

It is said that in addition to the complete transformation of the body, achieving the innate state also involves "divine intervention".

But the specifics of what "miraculous" means, and the cultivation method itself, were not explained.

However, practicing different enlightenment methods will produce different "uniquenesses", just like the true form of the mountain in the mountain enlightenment method, which is one of them.

Is there a connection between "miraculous" and "extraordinary"?

Tang Luo then casually pulled out a book from his side, flipping through it while pondering, but he couldn't come up with a solution.

But at this moment, he also had a clear understanding of the strength of the cultivators here.

"Based on the strength of cultivators who have opened all fifty-four acupoints, if he were at the Divine Strength Realm, his physical strength and the power of his acupoints would amount to a little over three thousand."

Even at the peak of the Unity Realm, there are still less than five thousand, and at this time there are still no ranged attack methods.

Only by planting a spiritual seed and generating internal energy can one possess some ranged attack capabilities.

As Tang Luo's thoughts drifted to this point, he suddenly had a very strange sense of déjà vu, and murmured, "Why does this 'internal energy' feel so much like my own internal force?!"

He couldn't help but think this way, as the book states: "Internal energy has a series of functions such as self-healing, strengthening the body, and enhancing senses."

"Isn't that his internal energy?!"

The only difference is that internal strength is stored in the dantian, while internal energy is stored in the acupoints, but the function is the same. Moreover, the cultivation of internal strength relies on the physical body and blood, while the cultivation relies on the mind, so the difference is not that great.

When Tang Luo realized this, he immediately realized another problem that arose from it.

Compared to the rigorous cultivation system of this world, the cultivation of internal energy is far too crude.

The cultivation system in this world is very rigorous. It is very clear how to cultivate at each level, what the key points are, including the final birth of internal energy. It truly achieves a step-by-step, steady and solid approach.

The cultivation techniques in the memories of the Blood Blade Ancestor were very crude, and even the division of realms was not clear enough. Whether a technique was strong or not depended entirely on luck. Even a technique like the Blood Shadow Divine Art was just so-so in comparison.

However, it does have its advantages. It has an additional dantian to store internal energy, which is quite large in quantity. In addition, with all the meridians being opened up, its actual strength is not too bad.

"At least, whether the Blood Blade Ancestor is stronger or weaker than a Spirit Seed Realm cultivator will only be known after they actually fight."
