Transformation Force, Longevity Art

The immense medicinal power spread through his body.

His blood, tendons, and bones gradually began to transform.

Blood replacement and marrow cleansing!

It strengthened the flesh from its very roots.

His entire body burned like fire.

The surging medicinal power swept through him like a flood.

His five viscera and six bowels rumbled and resonated, letting out strange cries like bullfrogs.

Force surged forth, washing over his limbs and bones.

Combined with the inner cultivation breathing method of the Demon Subduing Technique, he was like a sponge, greedily absorbing the medicinal power of the Blood Spirit Ginseng.

The medicinal power entered his marrow!

His movements during practice grew ever swifter.

Afterimages overlapped.

He practiced the Demon Subduing Technique and Wind God Step back and forth.

The air trembled, currents swirling all around him.

A powerful aura swept through the courtyard.

Immersed in cultivation, that faint, mysterious sensation rose within his heart.

His moves slowly began to change.

Time, too, slipped away second by second.

Dawn broke.

The first ray of sunlight rose from the horizon, piercing the darkness between heaven and earth.

In the courtyard, Fang Xing was drenched in sweat.

Bean-sized droplets rolled down from his forehead and hair, only to be swiftly evaporated by an invisible force.

"Buzz—!!"

He unleashed the final stance of the Demon Subduing Technique.

In that instant, Fang Xing felt as though his martial arts had entered an entirely new world.

The Demon Subduing Technique and Wind God Step, two superior martial arts, stepped into another realm in an instant.

Hard and soft force merged, blending like water and milk, becoming one seamless whole!

Within his body, his tendons and bones rang in unison.

A sound like beans crackling in a hot wok erupted.

At the soles of his feet, a current of earthly qi rose from the Yongquan acupoints. Above his head, a current of clear spiritual qi poured into his Baihui acupoint.

Clear above, turbid below!

The acupoints within his body seemed to open all at once, and an immense force burst forth from within him.

His powerful force shook the air. The great locust tree in the courtyard quivered, and leaves fell one after another.

Fang Xing stood motionless. As the leaves fell, however, they stopped when they came within an inch of his body.

It was as though an invisible force had blocked them.

When leaf after leaf reached within an inch of him, Fang Xing's shoulder gave a slight twitch, and they instantly turned to powder.

"I did it!"

Fang Xing's eyes shone like stars. As he inhaled and exhaled, every pore on his body seemed to be breathing.

His martial arts had broken through, and his force had become one unified whole!

His acupoints were connected, and his force protected his body!

"The power of Transformation Force..."

Fang Xing raised a hand and felt the force surrounding his body.

The force ran through his entire body.

He felt an unprecedented sense of clarity and openness.

He had crossed the Dragon Gate of the Three Foundation Establishment Realms!

A nineteen-year-old at Transformation Force—in all of Qingshan County, he could be considered a legend in his own right!

Only upon reaching Transformation Force did one understand true power!

The force of Transformation Force fused bright and dark force into a unified whole.

Compared to Dark Force, it was the difference between heaven and earth.

"The medicinal power of the Blood Spirit Ginseng was indeed impressive. It didn't disappoint."

Withdrawing his force, Fang Xing let out a long breath.

Though he had accumulated enough for this breakthrough, he had also prepared himself for the possibility of failure.

After all, his natural talent was too poor. His chance of breaking through to Transformation Force had been only ten percent.

Even with a Treasure Medicine like Blood Spirit Ginseng to assist him, the possibility of failure had remained great.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, his martial arts had broken through.

The Demon Subduing Technique had reached the pinnacle of perfection!

Having entered this realm, he was no longer constrained by the moves of the Demon Subduing Technique.

With a casual gesture, he could unleash the Demon Subduing Fist's utmost power!

The Nine Demon Subduing Styles came readily to hand!

This was the pinnacle of perfection!

He could even fuse different moves together.

Though Wind God Step had not reached the pinnacle of perfection, it had attained the realm of divine mastery.

His martial arts breakthrough had been the key to breaking through in one stroke.

Had the Demon Subduing Technique and Wind God Step not broken through, this attempt at breaking through realms would most likely have failed.

"Fortunately, my comprehension is good enough..."

This time, luck had also played a part.

Having taken this step, looking across Qingshan, it would not be an exaggeration to say he had ascended to heaven in a single stride.

This Dragon Gate was a barrier that countless martial artists in Qingshan County found impossible to breach.

Transformation Force had already reached the uppermost tier of Qingshan County.

With his mastery of two superior martial arts, he could face even martial artists at the middle or late stages of Transformation Force without losing his composure.

Together with his ability to perceive the minutest details, he did not dare claim he could dominate all Transformation Force martial artists.

But he was confident he could remain undefeated.

Wind God Step was no mere ornament.

"Only now can my cultivation be considered truly stable..."

Watching the morning sun at the horizon, Fang Xing clenched his fist.

Only by entering Transformation Force did he truly possess the strength to stand at the top and sit at the table.

Coming back to himself, Fang Xing immediately washed his body with well water.

The Blood Spirit Ginseng's blood replacement and marrow cleansing had expelled some impurities and toxins from his body.

The icy well water poured over every inch of his skin. Though it was a chilly late-autumn morning, it had no effect on his current physique and blood vitality.

Once he had washed away the grime from his body, he immediately felt thoroughly refreshed.

After drying himself, Fang Xing entered the room and put on his clothes.

Then, he took out the parchment scroll.

Unrolling it, Fang Xing looked over the martial art recorded within.

The Long-Life Inner Elixir Art!

He had not practiced the martial art Shen Ye had given him before.

He would break through to Transformation Force first, then enhance it for cultivation.

He still had nearly five thousand Enhancement Points. Though spending one thousand Enhancement Points pained him somewhat, what needed to be spent had to be spent.

"I wonder what level this superior martial art can be enhanced to..."

Filled with anticipation, Fang Xing willed it into action and began the enhancement.

Scarlet light enveloped the parchment scroll.

Fang Xing watched closely.

Soon, the scarlet glow covering the parchment scroll faded, and a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[A superior martial art, the Long-Life Inner Elixir Art, has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained a top-tier inner cultivation martial art, the Longevity Art.]

"The Longevity Art?!"

Looking at the scarlet prompt before him, Fang Xing was slightly stunned. He seemed to have heard that name somewhere before, but for the moment, he could not recall where.

"The Longevity Art. That's a fine name. As a top-tier inner cultivation martial art, it certainly can't be bad."

Casting aside his stray thoughts, Fang Xing carefully examined the martial art on the parchment scroll before him.

The Longevity Art was a method of inner cultivation. It possessed none of the offensive techniques found in other martial arts.

After reading it once, Fang Xing had committed it to memory.

Having finished reading the Longevity Art, he gained a clear understanding of this martial art.

The Longevity Art was extraordinarily powerful in the path of inner cultivation.

Compared with it, the inner cultivation method of the Demon Subduing Technique was not even on the same level.

True to its name, once one cultivated this martial art, one could enjoy enduring longevity and an extraordinary lifespan.

Upon reaching profound realms, one could even remain forever young, with youth ever in bloom!

And this top-tier inner cultivation martial art required Transformation Force cultivation merely to begin.

Below Transformation Force, one was not even qualified to cultivate it.

This martial art was exceedingly formidable on the path of inner cultivation.

Upon entering the basics, it could make one's force incomparably vigorous and inexhaustible.

Taking another step forward involved the realm of using the false to cultivate the true.

A realm beyond Transformation Force—the True Qi Realm!

The Longevity Art emphasized one thing: steadiness!

Its force was vigorous, several times greater than that of others at the same level.

The first step of cultivating the Longevity Art was converting one's own blood vitality into force.

Blood vitality transformed into force!

Only upon entering the realm of using the false to cultivate the true would the Longevity Art's terror truly reveal itself.

It drew in the qi of heaven and earth to forge one's own Longevity True Qi.

It could manifest the traits of other inner cultivation martial arts, such as the traits of blazing fire and frigid ice.

It could manifest them perfectly.

All-encompassing as the myriad forms!

"As long as I enter the basics of this top-tier martial art, my strength will be able to grow rapidly."

"Not bad."

Looking at the enhanced Longevity Art, Fang Xing was extremely satisfied.

Especially the part about becoming ageless and immortal in later stages—it was simply too tempting.

He read through it once more, then calmed his mind and focused his spirit. Sitting cross-legged with his legs folded, he assumed a unique posture and began cultivating.
