From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

The next morning.

In the center of the courtyard, Chen Shi sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed and motionless, like a clay or wooden sculpture.

He had not yet entered a meditative state; in his mind, he was constantly rehearsing the Elephant King Stance.

As the suppression of the rebellion came to an end, with the assistance of Ruru and Chenbi, the Elephant King's Stake was also at its final stage.

Chen Shi's goal at this moment was to press on with his efforts, break through the barriers, and advance it to the Xuan rank.

Although the rebels had been wiped out, the people of Suibin and other counties were still suffering terribly. Ruru chose to stay there and continue her cultivation, and did not return with Chen Shi.

Chen Shi has already mastered the Elephant King Stance, and is only one step away from the final goal. Whether or not Ru Ru assists him now makes little difference.

As for Ruru's safety, that little nun is very clever, even a bit eccentric, so Chen Shi doesn't need to worry at all.

Although it was just one step away from the goal, the difference between being inside and outside the gate was like heaven and earth.

Chen Shi didn't know whether he could get over it, or when he would get over it.

But he didn't consider success or failure; he just focused on cultivating according to his chosen goal.

That's how he always does things!

"How long will you be sitting, sir?"

"have no idea."

From early morning, the sun slowly rises, and before you know it, it's noon.

Several young maids stood at the base of the wall, whispering among themselves.

It was already March, and the sun was getting increasingly intense. Despite the scorching heat, Chen Shi remained motionless.

Cui Nong stood inside the door, feeling a pang of heartache at the sight.

But Chen Shi had given prior instructions not to disturb her, so she didn't dare to go over on her own.

After noon, the sun began to set in the west, and before you knew it, it was sunset.

Chen Shi had been sitting there for a whole day.

I've been mentally rehearsing the Elephant King Stance countless times.

But Chen Shi's resolve remained unwavering.

The moment the sun sets, the world darkens, as if a giant cauldron has been placed over it.

Chen Shi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and at this moment, the seventh "Optimus Prime" involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

With feet firmly planted on the ground and hands raised above the head, they resembled jade pillars supporting the sky.

Boom!

In an instant, a faint rumble was heard, as if the universe had exploded and the world had been created.

The nine pillars of the Elephant King in my mind were like nine figures, spinning rapidly, with the seventh pillar, "Pillar of Heaven," as the main one and the other eight as auxiliary ones.

Finally, they merged into a new pile.

Stand with your feet naturally apart, without deliberately exerting force, just like you would normally stand. Extend the index fingers of both hands, raise your left hand above your head pointing to the sky, and let your right hand hang down naturally pointing to the ground.

It is a truly towering and upright force, and this new feat can be named "Sky-Supporting Formation"!

"I see."

A moment later, Chen Shi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze clear as water.

To advance the Elephant King Stance to the Profound Rank, it is not necessary to master all nine stances to their fullest extent. Instead, one stance is chosen, and the other eight stances are used as supplements to ultimately condense them into a single technique!

The quality of an army is more important than its quantity; the same applies to martial arts. Rather than learning from many schools, it is better to specialize in one.

"interesting."

Having figured this out, Chen Shi suddenly smiled again.

All nine stances of the Elephant King can be used as the main stance. Doesn't that mean that there can actually be nine advanced Xuan-level martial arts techniques?

As for which specific martial art one will master and what level of profound martial art one will advance to, that depends on one's individual talent and inclinations.

Chen Shi, corresponding to the seventh "Pillar of Heaven", deduced this "Pillar of Heaven Formation".

"Give it a try!"

Although the simulation has been completed, we still need to test it to know its actual power and effect.

Chen Shi stood up, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, then slowly assumed the "Sky-Supporting Stance".

As the martial arts were activated, his feet seemed to sink into the earth like tree roots.

If you want to support the sky, you must first stand firmly on the ground. If you don't stand on the ground, how can you support the heavens?

Therefore, this so-called "sky-supporting move," while seemingly supporting the sky, is actually about firmly planted on the ground.

With your feet as your roots, you are one with the earth.

The next moment, a rhythmic throbbing came from the earth—the pulse of the land!

"bring it on!"

Chen Shi let out a low roar, drawing upon and manipulating the earth's veins.

But consider this: how can a mortal body withstand the power of the earth?

Boom!

Just as Chen Shi's body was covered in cracks and on the verge of falling apart, as if breaking through chaos, a new body was born.

Divine body!

There are two methods to condense a divine body. The one that is more suitable for oneself and stronger is to advance a Yellow-rank martial art to the Profound rank, and the corresponding divine body will naturally condense.

Chen Shi derived the Elephant King Stance into the Sky-Supporting Form. When he first used it, it was as natural as water flowing into a channel, and his divine body was naturally born!

"what!"

Chen Shi roared and threw a punch into the air.

The force of the punch was like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, clearing the night sky that had just descended!

Earth veins are the power of the earth.

To mobilize the power of the earth's veins is to borrow the power of the earth!

"It's done! It's finally done!"

Gazing at the clear night sky, Chen Shi clenched his fists, muttering to himself with excitement on his face.

It is indeed a divine body, the Sky-Supporting Divine Body!

An extraordinary physique capable of withstanding the power of the earth's veins!

After a short while, Chen Shi calmed down a bit and sat cross-legged again.

Condensing a divine body does not mean advancing to the sixth rank; otherwise, he would have been a sixth-rank martial artist long ago, since he already possessed the withered wood divine body.

Only when blood and qi resonate with the divine body can one truly enter the sixth-grade divine power realm.

The method is actually very simple: just channel the blood and energy throughout your body into your spirit.

No one taught Chen Shi any specific methods; it was like instinct, he naturally knew what to do.

Blood and Qi are like water, and the spirit is the vessel.

When the blood and energy are fully infused into it, they further nourish the divine body, allowing it to completely merge with the body. On the other hand, the divine body is also further refining the blood and energy.

Tonight, the moon is bright but there are no stars. As the moon slowly moves across the night sky, the night passes.

The sun rises in the east, the moment the day brightens once again.

Tick-tock!

With a soft sound, a drop of golden blood fell from within the divine body.

"gold!"

Looking at the drop of golden blood, Chen Shi's eyes widened, and he was filled with excitement once again.

The essence blood obtained by tempering the divine body and refining blood energy is precisely the essence blood!

Different divine body ranks result in different degrees of tempering of blood essence. A warrior-level divine body can only obtain ordinary red blood essence, a marquis-level divine body can obtain purple blood essence, and a king-level divine body obtains golden blood essence.

The higher the level of the divine body, the stronger the essence and blood; the stronger the essence and blood, the greater the power!

At this moment, golden essence blood is condensed, which means that Chen Shi's Qingcang Divine Body is at the King level!

The three ranks are King, Marquis, and Scholar. The vast majority of sixth-rank martial artists are only at the Scholar rank. Someone like the Dry Wood Divine Body, who is at the upper level of the Scholar rank, is already at the top among ordinary people.

As for the Marquis-level Divine Body, only those with extraordinary talent and noble birth can obtain it, such as Gu Tingshu, who possesses the Marquis-level Divine Body.

The title "Hou Jie" already makes this very clear.

As for the King-level Divine Body, it is extremely rare. Apart from a very few exceptional talents, it is said that only members of the royal family possess it.

How could Chen Shi not be excited that the Divine Body of Qingcang was actually at the King Rank?

There are three grades: upper, middle, and lower. As for which grade of the royal rank it corresponds to, it is not clear at the moment.

"Essence and blood".

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Chen Shi looked at the drop of golden blood again.

Compared to ordinary blood and qi, essence blood is much more powerful! Moreover, essence blood is also the key to the fifth and fourth grade realms.
