Hidden Meridians and War
Time doesn't stop because someone dies unless you are the one who dies.
With the death of the Pride Hall, a new Pride Hall will emerge, and after the Battle of Golden Sand Island, there will be no force in the entire Southern Martial World that can openly contend with Lu Li.
Those so-called righteous martial arts practitioners went into hiding, constantly honing their skills. Some wandered around, while others lived in anonymity. But their fighting spirit was also being ignited. They maintained contact with each other, waiting for the day they would rise up in rebellion.
At the same time, many evil masters have emerged in the martial arts world. The reason for this is the problem caused by Lu Li's Black Heaven Secret Realm Map. Anyone who has seen the original map has had their values changed and distorted. The biggest change is that they will do anything for the sake of martial arts.
He used people as test subjects, created all sorts of incomplete methods, forced others to cultivate them, and came up with all sorts of outlandish ideas—all for the sake of breaking through to the mythical level.
Those who have viewed the Black Heaven Secret Realm Map have their dreams effectively under Lu Li's control. While human dreams have basic protective measures, those who cultivate the Black Heaven Secret Realm Map are essentially voluntarily labeling their dreams with Lu Li's name, making their dreams completely unprotected by Lu Li.
So Lu Li spent his days wandering among these dreams, stealing the various thoughts of these people. Although most of these thoughts were flawed, some of them were still worth learning. With this, the completeness of the third volume of the Black Heaven Scroll was rapidly improving, and in the end, it only needed a suitable energy to be successfully created.
While roaming in his dreams, Lu Li encountered some interesting ideas and would even leave some information in his dreams to guide him. As a result, many interesting martial arts techniques appeared in the martial arts world.
Moreover, the concepts of meridians and dantian were spread by these people. This martial arts system, known as the inner world, began to be accepted by people. Some skilled martial artists also began to create their own techniques based on this system. It can be predicted that more and more people in this world will acquire natural dantian acupoints and meridians in the future.
Take, for example, the newborn in front of Lu Li. Both of his parents practiced the Inner Heaven Martial Arts System, so this child was born with three acupoints, some meridians, and most importantly, a dantian.
"Because of the different secret martial arts they practice, the acupoints on his body are a combination of parts from both of your bodies, and the same goes for his meridians." Lu Li examined him and returned the child to him, allowing various martial arts information to flow through him.
"From what I know about martial arts, your body has at most three hundred acupoints, and the locations of your meridians will overlap. In a few years, they will form a fixed system." Lu Li thought about the future.
"Furthermore, this child has two meridians in total, while the rest are scattered and disorganized. There will likely be more of these disorganized and disorganized meridians in the future, so we need to find a way to remove their influence or turn them into something useful."
"I'll try to create another martial art that utilizes these meridians." A thought flashed through Lu Li's mind. There was a martial artist who had the wild idea of abandoning the acupoint system and creating a martial art based on meridians.
A meridian circuit is formed near the body, and when others input internal energy to stimulate it, it continuously absorbs the person's life energy. Because the meridian is a circuit, this internal energy continuously circulates in the meridian circuit, which can strangely increase the abilities of that part of the body.
"Create a martial art that gathers and conceals these naturally disordered meridians, forming another system within the human body, which can be called the Hidden Meridian. By injecting internal energy, it continuously activates the body's potential. Let's call this martial art the Black Heaven Book."
"I can pass on the Black Heaven Book in a few days, but one thing you need to be careful about is that the Hidden Meridians are closed circuits, and they are hidden within the body. They can only be measured and activated by an outsider's internal energy through special methods."
"Because the internal energy is not one's own, it cannot form an internal force seed. Once that ability is used up and the internal energy inside is exhausted, according to calculations, some bad situations may occur." In fact, Lu Li had already anticipated that this Black Heaven Book would have endless harmful effects, because the hidden meridians also have a hereditary nature.
The two subordinates, with their children, took their leave, overjoyed at having obtained the methods created by the Black Heaven Hall. Little did they know that some knowledge only brings disaster.
Lu Li's martial arts knowledge is now so extensive that he may have acquired the most martial arts knowledge throughout the history of this world. He has collected a lot of knowledge through dreams, through various secret manuals, and also through those celestial and human intent light orbs.
Before those conceptual light orbs were released, Lu Li sprinkled a trace of his shadow mark on each of them, which could record information. Those who obtained the conceptual light orbs would continuously analyze the martial arts knowledge within them, and this knowledge would be copied by the shadow mark and then transmitted to Lu Li's main body.
Therefore, Lu Li's martial arts knowledge is unprecedented in this world and is unlikely to be surpassed in the future. He completed the Black Heaven Book in about a day, mainly because it took some time to gather the chaotic meridians and transform them into hidden meridians.
Glancing at the progress bar at the corner of his eye, he saw that with the gradual popularization of the meridian and dantian system, the martial power of this world had taken another step forward, reaching 70%. Unfortunately, it was still not enough, as no native mythical martial artist had yet appeared. It seemed that more effort was needed.
"Peace is a time for technological knowledge to accumulate, while war is the means to cause everything to erupt rapidly." Lu Li opened a box, released the eyeball inside, and said to Hu Wenxu who appeared, "Unification brings tranquility within the region, but tranquility only brings stagnation."
"So, we need war." Hu Wenxu was not surprised. This had been planned long ago. Through the war between the North and the South, both martial arts and science and technology would grow the fastest during the war years, even if this growth was misguided.
However, what Lu Li and Hu Wenxu wanted was not a more formal world system, but to forcibly raise the level of military power through war. For Lu Li and the other players, that would be considered a completed mission. After completing the ranking of a few disciples, they could simply pack up and leave.
As for how the world will recover and how to alleviate the pain of war, that is none of Lu Li's business.
Thus, after both the North and South had stabilized their respective regions, the Black Heaven Hall and the Ancient Moon Hall, as everyone expected, began a brutal war called "unification," which was in reality an "experiment."
This war swept across the entire martial arts world, and no one could escape it. During this period, countless martial artists emerged, leaving behind illustrious reputations. Countless divine martial arts manuals were also created, and martial arts truly entered an era of explosive growth.
