High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Chapter 506 Innate Physique

It takes six million experience points to advance the Longevity Technique from the Lesser Mastery to the Advanced Level.

So, the experience points required to advance from the entry level to the master level should be 12 million.

If you advance from the Great Completion Realm to Perfection, that's 24 million.

It seems that 5000 million experience points is just enough.

Chen Fan was somewhat excited and added 12 million experience points.

As expected, the progress of the Longevity Technique directly increased to 100%, entering the next realm.

Suddenly, a white light flashed through his mind, and he immediately sensed that there was some faint energy moving around in the surrounding air.

The higher you go, the more of these wandering energies there are.

Chen Fan jolted awake, looked up, and stared at the sky.

Could this be the so-called primordial energy of heaven and earth?

Since the cataclysmic changes in the world, the primordial energy of heaven and earth has always existed in the world, but ordinary people cannot feel it at all. Only martial artists who have reached the Celestial Realm can discover it and make use of it.

"Could it be?"

Chen Fan looked at the skill bar.

【Longevity Technique (Water): Great Success (0%), Characteristics: Longevity of a Tall Pine Tree Level 4, Youthful Appearance Technique Level 4, Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Origin Level 3, All Rivers Flow into the Sea Level 2, Innate Body】

[Innate Body: When not activated, one can sense the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After active activation, one enters a meditative state, continuously consuming spiritual energy to actively absorb spiritual energy into the body and enhance one's original true energy.]

"Innate constitution".

After reading it, Chen Fan took a deep breath.

This characteristic is indeed quite special; it has no levels, but its effects are extremely powerful.

In other words, although he is not a Celestial Realm martial artist now, because he has unlocked this characteristic, he can also absorb the essence of heaven and earth to improve his own strength, just like a Celestial Realm martial artist.

Of course, what martial artists at the Celestial Realm can do is not only this; they can also borrow the power of heaven and earth to enhance the power of their attacks.

However, this feature seems unable to achieve this.

However, Chen Fan was already very satisfied, and because of this characteristic, he became even more determined to condense a Heaven-grade Martial Dao True Pill.

"I wonder what the effects will be after absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth? Let's give it a try."

Chen Fan glanced at the remaining experience points; they weren't going to disappear.

He closed his eyes, activated his innate body, and immediately felt his mental energy being rapidly depleted at a rate of 10,000 points per second.

At the same time, wisps of primordial energy from heaven and earth were also attracted, entering the dantian (energy center) through the acupoints on the body.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of primordial true energy appeared in his body.

Chen Fan's eyes widened immediately.

A wisp of primordial true energy is also a point of primordial true essence.

It doesn't look like much.

However, to achieve even a single point of primordial true essence, he would need to circulate the true essence within his body for dozens of cycles.

Converted to time, it would take at least two hours.

The further along you go, the longer it will take!

But now?

In the blink of an eye, Chen Fan felt that his original true essence had increased by two points!

Furthermore, it is increasing at a very steady rate.

Chen Fan didn't stop. He was a little scared. Zhou's spiritual energy was gone. But thinking about it seemed pointless.

A minute passed quickly, and the original true essence increased by 66 points!

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) showed absolutely no signs of depletion.

As for why it rose by 66 points instead of 60 points, Chen Fan was also puzzled.

Because most of the time, the growth rate of the body's original true essence is one point per second, but there are two or three seconds that are an exception, when it increases by two points per second.

But for a moment, he couldn't figure out why. Maybe he just had a stroke of good luck?

Of course, there is also a downside: mental energy is consumed too quickly.

Consuming 10,000 points per second, after one minute, his mental energy had been depleted by 600,000. This was quite a burden for someone with several million mental energy points.

But it's worth it.

After all, only martial artists at the Celestial Realm can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own cultivation.

He's only at the True Essence Realm right now, so it's normal that he has to pay some price to achieve this.

"I wonder if a Celestial Realm martial artist also consumes their spiritual energy this quickly when absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? It's probably not that likely."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

The reason why martial artists at the Celestial Realm can do this is because the martial arts core within their bodies may consume spiritual energy, but not to the extent that it does so in such an exaggerated way.

The next moment, he opened his eyes and came out of his meditation.

It's not that I feel the growth of my original true essence is enough, but rather that I plan to raise my cultivation technique to perfection first.

Perhaps, some other powerful perfect characteristic awaits me.

Twenty-four million experience points were added directly.

The progress bar of the Longevity Technique soared, eventually reaching 100% and entering the perfect state.

A golden light flashed through my mind.

At this moment, Chen Fan felt that the primordial energy between heaven and earth around him became clearer. In fact, there were even one or two golden primordial energies, which contained twice the energy of the ordinary white primordial energy.

"Is that also the primordial energy of heaven and earth?"

Chen Fan was taken aback, then something occurred to him.

Could it be that the special situation during those three seconds in the previous minute was because I absorbed this golden energy?

But he hadn't noticed the existence of this golden energy before.

He seemed to realize something and looked towards the Longevity Mantra.

【Longevity Technique (Water): Perfected (cannot be upgraded), Characteristics: Longevity of a Pine Tree Level 5, Youthful Appearance Level 5, Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Origin Level 4, All Rivers Flow into the Sea Level 3, Innate Body, Harmony Between Heaven and Man Level 1】

[Harmony between Heaven and Man: Able to discover the purest primordial energy of heaven and earth, and the absorption speed of primordial energy doubles for each level the skill is upgraded.]

"A more refined essence of heaven and earth."

Chen Fan suddenly realized.

He looked up again at the few wisps of golden energy floating in mid-air.

It seems that the reason why my original true essence increased by two points was because I absorbed these golden primordial energies.

They already existed between heaven and earth, but my sensitivity to the primordial energy of heaven and earth was too low to detect their existence. In a daze, I absorbed them into my body along with the ordinary white primordial energy.

"If that's the case, then there must be even more refined primordial energy between heaven and earth."

Chen Fan seemed to be deep in thought.

Immediately afterwards, he closed his eyes again and absorbed the golden energy.

The next second, the original true essence within his body increased by 4 points! But the mental energy consumed remained unchanged.

Chen Fan didn't stop. He absorbed the remaining few strands of golden energy into his body. Now, there was no trace of golden energy left in the surrounding area.

The growth rate of his primordial true essence also decreased from 4 points per second to 2 points per second.

"That's not bad either."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

Even refining pills and converting them into potential points doesn't result in such a rapid growth rate.

As long as he has enough mental energy, he can continue to absorb it.

A few minutes later, Chen Fan's mental energy was depleted, and he finally felt a long-lost sense of fatigue, with drowsiness washing over him like a tide.

He yawned, a look of lingering enjoyment on his face.

In less than ten minutes, the original true essence in his body increased by three or four hundred points, a speed that was almost comparable to the Star Absorbing Technique.

Moreover, he discovered that not only the white primordial energy of heaven and earth, but also the golden primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to be inexhaustible.

The quantity was not as large as the former, and only a few strands would occasionally appear. Whenever this happened, he would prioritize absorbing the golden spiritual energy and then absorb the white spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Exchanging for the Universe Observation Method was indeed a wise choice."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

Once one observes the laws of the universe and cultivates to the highest level, breaking through ten million points of spiritual power is a certainty.

The time to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be longer, and the strength will increase faster.

In addition, it would be best to find a way to get your hands on the remaining few volumes of the Longevity Manual.

The improvement brought by just one volume is so huge; if one were to collect them all, what would that be like?

Chen Fan smiled and sat down to meditate again.

Now is not the time to sleep. After meditating for a few hours to replenish his mental energy, he still needs to continue absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth.

The night passed quickly, and the first light of dawn appeared in the east.

Chen Fan, who was sitting on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes.

In one night, he meditated twice and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for three periods of time. The original true energy in his body increased by nearly 1500 points, almost doubling.

The panel values ​​have also changed considerably.

Realm: True Essence Realm, Second Stage (1.85%) (+)

True Yuan: 221748/3304.75 (+6710%)

Level: 29 (0/1 billion)

Physical condition: 33.19

Strength: 24.2

Agile: 6.16

Spirit: 280.86

Potential points: 500 million

Experience points: 200 million

The most noticeable change is in the realm; previously it was True Essence Realm Level 1, but now it has become True Essence Realm Level 2.

The reason was that during the second absorption of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, his dantian and sea of ​​qi were already filled with true qi. In Chen Fan's mind, a message appeared, or rather, two choices.

First, it elevates one's cultivation level to the second stage of the True Essence Realm, increasing the capacity of the dantian's qi sea by a hundredfold.

Instead, they immediately break through to the Celestial Realm, with a 95% probability of condensing a Grade One Martial Dao True Pill and a 5% probability of condensing a Grade Heaven Martial Dao True Pill.

Option two was somewhat unexpected for Chen Fan.

However, he still chose option one without hesitation.

The reason is simple: his goal is to condense a Heaven-grade Martial Dao True Pill, not a First-grade one. Even if the probability is 99%, let alone only 5%, he wouldn't gamble on it.

Therefore, to fill his dantian, he now needs an astonishing 12 billion units of true qi!

With such a vast amount of true energy, it would take an unknown amount of time to refine true energy pills, not to mention that the medicinal materials for true energy pills are also a limitation.

But now, he can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is different.

In addition, the total true qi value also reached more than 20 million.

This means that even if the Burning Arrow consumes 15 million points of energy, or the Giant Spirit Hand consumes 10 million points of true energy, he can unleash them without any pressure.

If one day a beast king-level ferocious beast appears outside the city, he can kill it with a single slap. With the increase in the total amount of true energy and the recovery effect of the Longevity Technique, as long as no beast emperor-level ferocious beast comes, Anshan City will not fall.

"It's dawn."

He turned to look out the window.

According to Meng Xue, the beast tide will arrive at the foot of Anshan City this afternoon and launch an attack on the city. This offensive will continue several times.

A typical small city would be close to falling after the first attack, and would be completely overrun after the second and third.

But here, it's different.

He stood up, left a note on the table, and walked toward the Awakened Association.

……

Anshan City was unusually quiet in the early morning.

The breakfast stalls that usually open early are closed, unlike usual. The streets are sparsely populated, and sighs can be heard from time to time.

On the city wall, the guards all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, each gripping their guns tightly.

Some people would occasionally use the large telescopes on the city wall to look into the distance. When they saw that there was no beast tide on the horizon, they would breathe a sigh of relief, but soon they would become worried again and take another look, repeating the cycle.

As time passed, figures gradually appeared outside the city.

They looked disheveled, some even injured, as they walked step by step toward this place, their faces filled with fear, yet also a glimmer of expectation.

Among them was an old man, mingling in the crowd. He looked no different from ordinary people. He looked up at the city in front of him and thought to himself, "This is Anshan City? Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

That little guy surnamed Chen just underestimated the beast tide.

When the crowd reached the outskirts of the city, they began to pray.

To their surprise, the city gates actually opened, and the guards were not as arrogant as they had imagined. Instead, they were very polite and allowed them to register and move into the city.

"Grandpa, did you come alone?" someone noticed Old Wang and asked in surprise.

"Yes," Old Wang said with a wry smile, "I was just lucky. I didn't encounter any ferocious beasts along the way. Maybe they saw that I was just an old man with little flesh on my bones, so they let me go."

"It's really not easy."

The guard who had been questioning them sighed, then looked at the group and said, "You've come at just the right time. After today, it won't be so easy to get here."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances. To be honest, they had also encountered numerous dangers along the way.

"The beast tide is about to erupt."

The guard sighed, "It might be within the next two or three days. By then, the area outside this city will be teeming with ferocious beasts. Not only you, but even we won't be able to get out."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked astonished.

Beasts, a beast tide?

real or fake?

"This, brother, the beast tide, the beast tide is really about to erupt?" someone asked in disbelief.

"I also hope it's fake, but this is a notice from the City Lord's Mansion. Those Awakened Ones wouldn't joke about something like this."

The guard sighed, then waved his hand and urged, "Alright, those who have registered, hurry up and go in. Stay put and don't cause trouble. Even if a beast tide breaks out, no one will kick you out."
