Seeing the God
Nascent Soul within 60 years?
This would be extremely difficult, even abnormal, for other cultivation worlds.
However, almost everyone Nascent Soul the New Heavenly Gate possesses a Nascent Soul that has been cultivated within sixty years, and most of them are Information Nascent Soul.
Even those Nascent Information Nascent Soul, those Nascent Soul masters on the Civil Engineering route, still formed their Nascent Souls within sixty years.
It's only been a little over 60 years since the New Heavenly Gate was built.
The world has changed so much that many people mistakenly believe that Heavenly Gate has a long history.
As for Hu Mang, his cultivation level was already at the Mid Golden Core, and he also had the Azure Mysterious Realm, a world with high Spiritual Qi, as his backing.
Unless he dies prematurely, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm within sixty years is more than enough for him.
However, he was quite concerned about the peak Qi and Blood he had accumulated within the past sixty years.
After all, according to his "Human Body Pill Refining Great Method," the stronger Qi and Blood, the better the effect of alchemy.
However, Hu Mang quickly came to his senses and suddenly thought of a very special possibility.
"What you just said about the Qi and Blood and Qi and Blood reaching their peak within sixty years, and then declining after sixty years, is based on the premise that martial arts cultivators first achieve the Shattering the Void' at the martial arts level, and then use their martial arts realm to nourish their physical body and stimulate its potential. This is why the physical body's Qi and Blood only last for sixty years before declining, while the spirit remains strong."
Sun Jidao was taken aback. "Otherwise," he thought, "Isn't this common sense?"
"Then tell me, is it possible to first break through the 'martial arts limit' of the physical body, and then Shattering the Void through the martial arts realm? In this way, the physical body would undergo self-evolution, and it could maintain this peak state for a long time. Wouldn't that avoid the 'sixty-year dilemma' you mentioned?"
More importantly, having a sustainable supply of martial arts-level Qi and Blood would make it easier for him to refine the human elixir.
"Theoretically speaking, that's true. If the 'Martial Arts Limit Physical Body' wasn't created through artificial means but grew naturally, its peak duration would definitely be longer than that of a body that was artificially cultivated. But is that even possible?"
There's no way for the physical body to evolve faster than one's realm.
Hu Mang pointed to the next room, "What do you think?"
Sun Jidao gasped and said:
"Boss, you're not going to absorb Longbo's Qi and Blood, are you? This thing is more dangerous than you think. Just because Zhao Longbo could absorb it doesn't mean you can. And how do you know that nothing unexpected happened to Zhao Longbo during the absorption process?"
When I examined the fragments of his three souls and seven spirits, I discovered that some of his foundations had been damaged, even dating back decades.
You know what I mean, right? If you do that, I might end up having to discuss philosophical topics like self-awareness with Boss Hu.
Moreover, this procedure affects the process of conception. Boss, don't you want to have your conception terminated?
Hu Mang smiled slightly.
"I was just saying it casually; maybe there's someone in this world who can actually do it."
"If there is a normal person who can do this, you must tell me in advance. I'm willing to give up my principles to dissect him."
"Okay, I'll definitely let him know if I find out," Hu Mang nodded and stood up.
"Then you continue with your work, I won't bother you any longer. I wish you a speedy breakthrough in your Innate Acupoints, and I especially hope you achieve a breakthrough through the Heavenly Gate."
"By the way, boss, the negotiations with Wu Cai are almost complete. With the emergence of the 'Golden Core Elixir Substitute' lab product, the most anxious group now isn't us, but Chengdan Spiritual Enterprise. They should be willing to compromise, so you need to be prepared to sign the contract at any time."
"I understand, Wu Cai already told me about it."
In the secret room of Boss Zheng's study, a flash of light appeared from the fragments, and the figure of Martial Hall Master disappeared.
Meanwhile, at the Mysterious Peak Sect and Spring Thunder Ridge, Junior Brother Hu, who had been in seclusion for two months, finally emerged from seclusion.
Without any intention of reporting to Old Daoist Ge, Hu Mang headed straight for the Entering Rivers Mountain, while the communication talisman in his hand kept lighting up, clearly indicating that he was trying to contact someone.
Compared to the comfortable and carefree life of inner disciple, outer disciples clearly have to work much harder.
For most outer disciples who haven't even perfected the Three Flowers and Five Qi, the benefits of going out to do manual labor are clearly greater than those of seclusion, since they are currently at a cultivation stage where they can't even fully understand cultivation in seclusion.
So Hu Mang quickly caught up with Wu Hun Junior Brother Wu, who was very diligent in doing outer sect missions, and took him directly to his own Seclusion Chamber. After activating the seclusion formation, he looked the other person up and down.
That gaze was like a sharp blade, slowly sweeping over every inch of the other person's muscles, every breath, and every trace of their aura, like a hunter facing a prey, trying to find the other person's weakness.
The Wu Hun remained calm, a thoughtful look even flashing in its eyes.
Before the autumn wind even stirs, the cicadas sense it first. As a martial artist at the Shattering the Void level, he clearly sensed something.
Hu Mang didn't hold back either; in an instant, his fist intent, which was almost capable of Shattering the Void, was directly unleashed at his opponent.
With his Wu Hun slightly tucked in, his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh seemed to transform into four kinds of highly spiritual monsters. The martial arts Qi and Blood and blood around his body surged like a tide, transforming from turbulent waves into a vast ocean. Although the Hu Mang's fist intent was as bright as the sun, under the opponent's Qi and Blood manipulation, it was still like the setting sun sinking into the sea. It seemed like thunder and fire collided, but it was calm and undisturbed.
"To be able to refine the fist intent that Shattering the Void a physical body that can Shattering the Void, Instructor Wu, your skill is truly remarkable," Hu Mang exclaimed in admiration.
"They're just petty tricks," Wu Hun said calmly.
"Junior Brother Wu, I remember you said that you perfected your Four Great Refinement Methods muscles, bones, skin, and flesh while constantly fighting against Demon Beast, and you strengthened your own blood Qi and Blood by consuming and digesting the flesh and blood of Demon Beast. In the end, you were defeated but did not die in a battle against a thousand-year-old demon, which allowed you to break through the last barrier and shatter the void, right?"
"Yes."
"Junior brother, I would like to ask you, did you break through the void with your physical body first, or did your fist intent break through first?"
Hu Mang asked, his eyes burning with intensity.
The person in front of us is most likely the one Sun Jidao mentioned, the one he'd rather turn to the dark side of than not dissect.
Previously, when he, Hu Mang, and Jiang Mingshan were chatting, Jiang Mingshan had remarked that Brother Wu's fist intent was so strong that even his sword intent couldn't break through it, making him a true monster. At that time, Wu Hun humbly stated that he had survived defeats during life-or-death training and only managed to succeed by sheer luck.
The opponent who defeated him was a thousand-year-old demon.
At the time, Hu Mang remarked that the martial artists of this world were indeed formidable, daring to challenge thousand-year-old Demon Beast simply by relying on their martial prowess.
However, he later realized that the martial arts instructor at that time had not yet broken through to the final level, and his fist intent had not reached the point where it could harm the demonic soul of Demon Beast. How could he have fought that thousand-year-old monster, and how did he manage to survive despite being defeated?
Wu Hun was taken aback. His martial arts intuition reminded him that this trip might be a great fortuitous opportunity for him, but he didn't expect the other party to ask this question.
"After Seeing the God, you broke through the void. Senior brother, didn't you know that?" Wu Hun asked in surprise.
"Wait, you mean you first achieved physical perfection and Shattering the Void, and then you broke through to the next level of martial arts?"
"Isn't that so? This isn't just true for our Liang Kingdom; it's the same for martial arts practitioners in the surrounding mortal realms."
Hu Mang came to his senses and frowned.
How come the realms of cultivation are different in the two worlds, and also different in martial arts? Are they even reversed?
"Tell me more details, after all, I'm almost at that level myself."
After a long while, Hu Mang finally realized, why is it that even though they all have two arms and two legs, there can be differences in the Higher Vehicle levels of martial arts?
The reason is simple: this world has Demon Beast, and a large number of them are powerful and capable of Demon Beast. Demon Beast blood and flesh are highly nutritious for martial artists. These ordinary martial artists hunt Demon Beast to obtain Spirit Stone for cultivation, while also consuming Demon Beast flesh and blood to temper their physical bodies.
The flesh and blood of these Demon Beasts are like heavenly materials and earthly treasures, containing abundant Spiritual Qi and vitality. When consumed by martial artists, they are like a powerful force injected into their bodies, allowing them to gradually surpass the limits of the mortal realm through daily tempering.
Most martial artists who reach the Higher Vehicle level of martial arts cultivation do so by first achieving a breakthrough in their physical body, and only then do they reach a state of perfection in their martial arts realm.
On the other side of Heavenly Gate, especially overseas, the physical bodies are "rapidly matured" by cultivation levels.
"So, according to you, once the physical body is incorruptible, one's Qi and Blood will remain unchanged until death, maintaining a peak and vigorous state?"
"Yes."
At least in this respect, Hu Mang guessed correctly.
"After Seeing the God, breaking through the void, what kind of god is this god? The Primordial Spirit, the Yin Spirit, or the Yang Spirit?" Hu Mang asked.
After Wu Hun for a while, Wu Hun finally revealed the matter. This was originally a closely guarded secret of martial arts, a secret that needed to be taken to the grave if there was no suitable successor. However, considering that he had already joined a major sect to cultivate immortality, he naturally no longer needed to care about the rules of the martial arts world.
"It is the god within himself." Wu Hun's attitude became serious. At this moment, he was not an outer disciple of a major innate sect, but a martial arts grandmaster.
"The so-called self-divine spirit does not need to be sought externally from heaven and earth, but rather elevates oneself to a level that transcends the mundane. The human body becomes one's own spirit. Once the body suffers any minor injury, whether it is an obvious or hidden injury, or damage to a small acupoint, you can sense it and then manipulate the body to repair it, without damage or leakage, remaining complete within yourself. And this repair will not stop until the end of your lifespan."
"After Seeing the God, breaking through the void is not about brute Shattering the Void, but about using the 'god' condensed within the physical body to perceive the barrier hidden in the void. That barrier is like a transparent wall, separating you from some deeper power. When you illuminate that barrier with the light of your own god, it melts away like ice and snow, revealing a completely new world behind it."
"Then what is the source of this 'Seeing the God' Qi and Blood?" Hu Mang pressed.
It can't be a perpetual motion machine, can it?
The Wu Hun thought for a moment and said, "It is the Innate Qi within our bodies that we martial artists can sense after cultivating to Higher Vehicle level and undergoing marrow cleansing. We cannot specifically sense its location; perhaps it is omnipresent. However, after Seeing the God, we can extract it as the foundation of our indestructible nature."
Is this Innate Qi inexhaustible?
"As long as it doesn't perish and its soul remains, it will never perish," the Wu Hun said with absolute certainty.
Hu Mang now fully understood that martial artists who had "Seeing the God" could, to some extent, sense and manipulate the Innate Acupoints within their bodies, which was why they could continuously generate Innate Qi.
Excellent!
Hu Mang sized up the other party for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Junior Brother Wu, how about we make a deal?"
With his martial arts intuition, his Wu Hun immediately knew that his fortuitous opportunity had arrived.
