By the 35th century, martial arts had integrated various cultures such as Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. With the help of the field of life sciences and supercomputers, it had already explored the mysteries of life itself to a level that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Some ancient terms have also been used in martial arts, such as the Five Immortals of Daoism:
Gods, gods, humans, and ghosts.
The development of life sciences has gradually proven the existence of the soul, and the term "Ghost Immortal" refers to a more powerful soul that can exist independently of the physical body, unlike the vengeful spirits and ghosts in Azeroth that exist based on death energy or other factors.
Even with Jiang Jie's current soul strength, he cannot make his soul exist independently of his body.
According to the constant rules of Azeroth, those who can be called " Ghost Immortal " must be Legendary- level souls, which is the entry level of " Loa ".
Every Loa possesses a Legendary soul.
For example, Sen'jin might not have reached the level of a true soul when he died, but under Bwonsamdi's "sublimation," his soul was enhanced and reached the Legendary level, thus qualifying him to become Loa.
Leaving aside Heaven Immortal, which represent an extremely high level, no one had reached that level even in the 35th century.
Divine Immortal are beings above Earth Immortal immortals, figures of Martial Arts Myth. There are few beings at that level in the 35th century. They are beings who can physically traverse the starry sky and travel the universe. They are still far from being like Jiang Jie.
Human Immortal are ordinary martial artists, divided into two stages: Houtian and Xiantian. Because martial artists at this stage still belong to the category of "humans," they are given the title of "Immortal," but in reality, they are still human.
Human Immortal cultivate the human body itself, the Houtian Internal Energy and Xiantian Chi, and the body of an ordinary person. If it is not a special cultivation method, then even if they cultivate to the highest level, they can only adjust their body to the best state, be free from disasters and diseases, and their lifespan can reach the theoretical limit of human beings, living to over a hundred or nearly two hundred years old.
Of course, Daoist health practices are also suitable for health preservation and often lead to a longer lifespan, with the Black Tortoise Longevity Art being one of the best.
Breaking through the Human Immortal and entering the Earth Immortal is another level altogether.
Earth Immortal, Land Immortal, have actually already touched upon the "divine" aspect because they have begun to cultivate "divinity." However, they have only just broken free from the realm of "humans" and are beginners in the "divine" realm. They have not yet reached the level of " Divine Immortal," hence the name Earth Immortal.
Gathering the True Unity, observing the two polarities, arranging the Three Talents, dividing the Four Symbols, distinguishing the five Five Phases, determining the Six Qi, collecting the seven treasures, ordering the Eight Trigrams, and traveling through the Nine Provinces —this is the process of gradually progressing from Human Immortal to Divine Immortal. The first step is to unify the true Chi and transform it into True Essence.
This is the first transformation of the physical body. From this point onward, the body is no longer that of an ordinary person, but begins to possess certain special abilities:
True Essence begins to unlock the hidden treasures within the human body. The Buddhist concepts of Sky Eye Power, Mind Reading, and Divine Foot are actually all "extraordinary abilities," which arise after the body "transcends the ordinary."
Jiang Jie was very lucky to have come to this world.
This world contains extraordinary powers, including " Rage " and "energy," and the Druid's Animal Form is the most direct manifestation of "extraordinary" physical abilities.
Jiang Jie has learned so many Animal Form, and his body has actually already begun to enter the "extraordinary" stage, but he has not yet succeeded.
It has now been successful.
He finally Chi Unification and condensed the first drop of True Essence in his middle dantian.
This drop of True Essence liquid is actually equivalent to a drop of water in the Well of Eternity, or a drop of blood from the nascent Titans " Azeroth ".
The Well of Eternity appeared, which led to the emergence of so much Arcane and natural energy in Azeroth. Before that, these things did not exist. The original world at that time only contained elements and countless elemental creatures, and then the Old Gods descended.
In other words, if the Blood of Titans and the Waters of the Well of Eternity can be transformed into various forms of energy, then so can True Essence.
True Essence is the source and foundation of Earth Immortal Earth Immortal.
A drop of Waters of the Well of Eternity,
It can transform into Sunwell, absorbing the Ley Line energy scattered throughout Azeroth. A single drop of True Essence can continuously absorb various energies from the entire world: Arcane energy, natural energy, and even energy obtained from food...
From now on, if Jiang Jie is willing, he can completely "abstain from grains," get rid of his appetite, and not eat or drink. He can directly absorb the energy in heaven and earth to replenish his consumption and strengthen his True Essence.
Similarly, a drop of True Essence can transform into various forms of energy, such as flames, ice, and... Chi.
True Essence is formed by the condensation of Chi, and can naturally be transformed back into Chi.
In the Jiang Jie transformed that drop of True Essence back into Chi, spreading throughout his entire body.
He opened his eyes, which shone brightly.
Even before the start of today's match, Jiang Jie had already scanned the entire arena and discovered the Zanza the Restless, the Dragonkin General, and the Countess from Stormwind City: Onyxia, the Black Dragon Princess.
He just hadn't expected those guys would dare to attack him.
Are you all so impatient?
Is it really okay to anger me?
The White Gorilla roared, brandishing its large club and charging towards the dragon-man general. This moved Jiang Jie deeply, but he knew very well:
The White Gorilla was no match for the Dragon General.
The White Gorilla was about as strong as the Dragonman General, but its defensive capabilities were certainly inferior. Its white fur, in terms of both defense and magic resistance, was far inferior to that of dragon scales, especially black dragon scales. Furthermore, its combat experience and skills were far inferior to those of the battle-hardened Dragonman General, who had lived for countless years.
As for the Earth Shield on its body?
They might be able to bully ordinary professionals, but they're no match for Legendary professionals!
So he stood up, and took the lead, using the Yu's Nine Provinces Steps, from 5 to 9, then from 5 to 3, and arrived in front of the White Gorilla, blocking the Dragon Man General.
The giant sword is about to fall!
The giant sword the Dragonman General wielded was over two meters long, but to him, it was merely an ordinary sword, roughly the size of the legendary " Sword of the Brotherhood."
Well, it's said that the " Sword of the Brotherhood " was actually the weapon of a certain dragonman general.
In short, this epic greatsword is truly imposing; when it falls, it's actually more terrifying than the White Gorilla's rock club.
Jiang Jie, who had just become True Unity Earth Immortal, was only beginning to undergo physical transformation. Apart from having better endurance and stamina, his overall strength had not changed much compared to before. Therefore, he naturally did not dare to withstand this sword strike with his own flesh and blood, but instead took out the divine sword Strom'kar.
He raised the divine sword and held it horizontally above his head.
Then the sound of two swords clashing was heard, producing a piercing, sharp clang.
Under the immense force, Jiang Jie's feet sank into the mud, but his hands remained motionless.
He channeled his Chi into his arm, forming a layer of Black Tortoise Armor Gang Qi. His arm, imbued with Chi, withstood the sword strike.
"You're finished, it's my turn!"
Jiang Jie had just been holding the sword with his left hand, raising it above his head; now he raised his right hand.
He was now very close to the Dragonman General, less than two meters away. He stretched out his right hand and pushed forward, and a large hand of Chi imprinted itself on the Dragonman General's chest.
Bang!
The next moment, under an unimaginable force, the Dragonman General was sent flying backward, traveling more than ten meters before crashing to the ground!
Jiang Jie took another step, his feet treading on Lightning, and arrived in front of the Dragon General. His divine sword flashed through the air, and in an instant, he changed from holding it horizontally to holding it upside down, gripping the hilt tightly with both hands, and then thrusting it down heavily!
This entire process takes only two seconds, leaving the Dragon General no time to cast his spell.
With immense force and enveloped by the sword light formed from Chi, the divine sword pierced through the steel armor on the chest, through the dragon scales, through the dragon skin, then through chunks of muscle, and finally pierced the dragon general's heart.
Two seconds later, Jiang Jie's Chi invaded the Dragon General's heart along the divine sword, transforming into thousands of sword beams that erupted in full force. As a result, the heart was riddled with holes and completely shattered. Even the Dragon General's body was riddled with holes and utterly ruined.
The eyes of the half-human, half-dragon figure went completely dazed, then the arm fell, and the greatsword fell.
The dragon-man general, who never had a chance to unleash his full power, was already dead.
Jiang Jie looked up and sneered at the Zanza the Restless.
"Oh no! Let's go!"
The Zanza the Restless felt a chill run through him, filled with fear. He gave Jiang Jie a deep look, then quickly left with the high priest Venkasa. Vol'jin nodded to Jiang Jie and followed.
Jiang Jie nodded in agreement, then looked at the group of noblewomen from Stormwind City, ignoring the stunned ladies, and met the eyes of the Black Dragon Princess across the distance.
He spotted me!
He knew it was me!
He doesn't seem to intend to expose me!
Three thoughts flashed through the Black Dragon Princess's mind. She nodded at Black Dragon Princess Jiang Jie, and the black chains binding Anveena vanished instantly.
Jiang Jie sighed softly.
Now is not the time to turn against the Black Dragon Princess.
He has confirmed:
The Black Dragon Princess's strength is in no way inferior to Krasus's; she's High-tier Legendary. If she were to truly unleash her power, even all of them combined might not be able to defeat her, not to mention that she has Nefarian, the entire Black Dragonflight, and Deathwing behind her.
At least now, it's not the time to turn against each other.
It's time to leave.
Jiang Jie looked up and gazed north. "It's time to go home."
