Nighttime, in the talisman-making room, inside the Demonic Pattern room.
The Five Elements Pattern has been successfully tested, and Chen Mu certainly won't leave it out. Moreover, the Five Elements Pattern he designed for himself is even more complex than the ones designed by the Five Elements Guards.
He sat in a chair with his eyes closed and his upper body bare, the Nine Heavens Blazing Sun Brush moving up and down on his body, gradually forming mysterious runes.
For a pure martial arts practitioner, using the Five Elements Runes runes to nourish the five internal organs, transforming the body and comprehensively enhancing potential and strength is already an extraordinary effect.
But Chen Mu's vision for the Runic Body went beyond that. Since runes could nourish the five internal organs, then the five internal organs could utilize the power of the runes. Could he then use his physical body to perform various rune techniques?
Since Chen Mu himself was a practitioner of both talisman and martial arts, he had always used his Divine Soul to assist him in battle. Therefore, he quickly realized that if he could combine talisman techniques with his physical body in battle, his combat power would definitely experience a qualitative leap.
After years of research, Chen Mu believes that there is no fundamental difference between martial arts cultivation and soul cultivation; both are simply the application of energy.
The power of soul cultivation originates from the cultivator's heart, while the power of martial arts cultivation originates from the cultivator's physical body.
If the physical body can also use talismanic arts, then talismanic arts are martial arts, and martial arts are talismanic arts. With a punch, one can directly activate talismanic arts Martial Dao Spiritual Power.
The attack combines Martial Dao power with talismanic power, fusing the principles of Dao of Talismans and Martial Dao —a combat technique never before seen.
However, this kind of combat technique can only be practiced by those who cultivate both martial arts and talismans, unless Chen Mu can fuse Soul Power and Spiritual Power to create a new energy.
If he wants to fuse two energies into a new one, then he needs to create a new cultivation system, which he cannot do at present and can only study it slowly in the future.
After more than an hour of tattooing, the Five Elements Pattern on Chen Mu's body were gradually completed.
"Receive!"
When the Five Elements Pattern was fully completed, his whole body shone brightly, with five colors rotating around him, which gradually subsided after a dozen or so breaths.
As the light faded, the runes on Chen Mu's body completely disappeared, restoring him to his original state.
This is because the runes on his body have been absorbed and are slowly transforming his body.
" Water Condensation Talisman!"
Chen Mu waved his hand, and a jet of water shot out.
Pfft! Boom...!
The wooden door to the room with the Demonic Pattern was blasted through by Chen Mu's water arrow, making a mess of the other room.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Landuo heard the commotion and came to the Demonic Pattern room, his expression tense.
"It's alright, Landuo. You tidy up here."
Chen Mu's expression was somewhat unpleasant. After saying this, he closed his eyes again.
Using runes with the physical body was indeed not so easy; he simply couldn't control the details of the runes within his body.
I only used a basic Water Condensation Talisman, and my kidneys were already slightly injured. If I had used other, more powerful talismans, it would have been even more dangerous.
However, if his physical body can actually use the talisman technique, then his plan will have succeeded. The rest is to slowly familiarize himself with it and gradually convert this characteristic into his own combat power.
Two weeks later.
Chen Village, on the martial arts training ground.
Chen Mu's ten Five Elements Guards were practicing martial arts, while Chen Mu sat beside them watching and collecting their practice data through ' Fate Vision '.
Chen Rufeng is now the captain of the Five Elements Guard Squad. He has been training very hard lately because he can feel himself getting stronger rapidly every day.
" Fire Element Blazing Flame Slash "
The broadsword in his hand glowed with a fiery red light. He lowered his body, gathered his energy, and unleashed a slash.
With a bang, he sliced half a meter deep into the rough wooden block on the ground with his knife. Then he pulled out the knife, and black smoke rose from the places where the blade had rubbed. It was clear to the naked eye that the inside of the wooden block had been burned into a hollow shell.
"Haha, even a Qi Nourishing Realm expert wouldn't be able to withstand this strike from me!"
He smiled with satisfaction. Since the Five Elements Pattern were completed, he found that he could use Five Elements martial arts more easily and the power of them had increased significantly.
This is only a passive ability. The Five Elements Pattern can be actively activated. Although activation will increase the consumption of Spiritual Power, the overall combat power can more than double, which is extremely terrifying.
The Five Elements Body Tempering Technique created by Chen Mu can theoretically be used to cultivate the five elements of Spiritual Power at the same time. However, most cultivators will choose to focus on one direction. For example, Chen Rufeng mainly cultivates fire-element martial arts, and his physique is more suitable for cultivating fire-element martial arts.
The ten Five Elements Guards were all carefully selected, consisting of five men and five women, each specializing in one of the Five Elements. Some of them also had minor training in other elements, but they were all extremely strong in their respective specialties.
The ten Five Elements Guards practiced until noon before concluding their morning training.
" Miao Ya, the Spiritual Power in your Shen Ting acupoint is not fully open, causing your energy to be blocked and the power of your moves to be greatly reduced. You need to focus on breaking through this point when you get back..."
Chen Rufeng, you lack confidence in your meridians. Be bolder and increase your Spiritual Power to impact your Ren meridian. That way, you should be able to break through to the Qi Nourishing Realm very quickly...
Han He and you...
Chen Mu carefully explained the problems he had discovered to the Five Elements Guard Squad.
He is now using his ' Fate Vision ' more and more freely, and can see the details of the flow of Spiritual Power in their bodies. In addition, since he created the Five Elements Body Tempering Art, he can easily point out the problems in their cultivation.
The Five Elements Guards listened intently, afraid of missing a single word.
They now admire Chen Mu immensely, because whenever Chen Mu points out a problem, they make significant progress as long as they adjust according to his suggestions.
They felt that the two weeks of cultivation they had done were equivalent to half a year of cultivation in the past.
Okay, that's all for today.
Go back and carefully consider what I said, and come back here for your morning exercise again tomorrow.
"Yes, Master Mu."
The ten people responded in unison, and then left one after another.
Chen Mu returned to the talisman-making room and went to his own private research room.
There were five or six instruments in the room, some of which Chen Mu made himself, and others with the help of Landuo.
The most eye-catching item is a large data analyzer in the center, which is two meters high and three or four meters wide.
Below the large data analyzer were three rectangular devices, somewhat resembling modern computer cases, and above them was a workbench with a wooden board covered in runes in front of it.
Chen Mu activated the instrument with his Divine Soul, and a virtual image immediately rose on the wooden board, just like a screen in modern society.
In fact, with Chen Mu's current technology, he can make the device into any shape. The wooden boards and the main unit casing are completely unnecessary; it can still function without these components.
But he still habitually made it this way. The reasons for this are complicated, and he can't explain them clearly. Perhaps it's out of nostalgia, or perhaps he's trapped by his own mindset and only does it this way because it's convenient.
He took off his ' Fate Vision ' glasses and placed them on a disc-shaped pattern on the workbench.
With a hum, a pale white light rose from the disc-shaped pattern and enveloped the ' Fate Vision ' glasses.
Then the screen on the wooden board started running a data stream. The cultivation data collected today was categorized and organized by the analyzer and finally stored in the database, which can be used to continuously improve cultivation techniques, the Five Elements Pattern, and so on in the future.
"Open the ' Five Elements Battle Formation ' project to continue calculating the battle formation model."
Five elements patterns appeared on the screen, followed by ten character models of the Five Elements Guards. They stood in one of the positions of the Five Elements patterns, constantly practicing their moves, while a large amount of data flowed in the upper right corner of the screen.
Chen Mu intently observed the data above, occasionally tapping the wooden board to jot down any points he thought were problematic.
He designed this battle formation calculation program himself, and although it has many shortcomings, he is confident that it will be of great use in the future.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
There are no more than five people in the entire Chen Village who can pass through the array in the talisman-making room, and they rarely disturb him.
