Destiny is ashes

Chapter 293 Fascia Membrane (13)

The sixth and seventh prohibitions of Taibai Haoling's magic prohibitions are for "big tendons" and "membranes".

The tendons in the practice of Dharma are not just the tendons in the usual sense. It is a vague and broad concept. We often talk about tendons, muscles and fascia. Tendons are the vague part of flesh, blood and membranes, including part of muscles, ligaments, meridians and blood vessels.

Generally speaking, tendons refer to the middle zone that connects things such as flesh, blood, bones, skin, and internal organs. As long as it transmits force and forms a connection hub, whether it is blood vessels or flesh, ligaments or blood vessels, they are all tendons.

Because tendons connect internal organs, flesh and blood, and wrap around bones to support the membrane, although they are not the source of strength, they are indispensable if one wants to exert strength. That is why there is a saying that "if the tendons are one inch longer, the strength is ten times greater."

Taibai Haoling's divine prohibition imposed a magical prohibition on the tendons, just like transforming the flesh and blood body into an indestructible steel spring and iron lever. The moment it was forged, An Jing felt that the numbness and itchiness all over his flesh and blood immediately became comfortable, and a more coordinated force flourished in his body.

This is a force that was originally unable to be exerted due to hard conditions, but now emerges due to the improvement of physical fitness.

But this is not the limit.

Because he was already strong inside and blessed by the Emperor's Law, and also practiced Shaoyang Sword Technique under the guidance of Ming Guangchen and Jin Yanhua to nourish his essence, An Jing took the opportunity to condense the membrane.

Just as tendons are not tendons but "transmissions connecting various hubs", skin is not skin but "protection covering various internal organs".

The membrane mentioned in the revision of the law includes the skin, a large organ, as well as the surface protection of the internal organs and a large collection of periosteal cartilage.

If the internal organs circulate excessive energy, it will hurt the body. However, if the membrane method is successful, then the person who has achieved it will be the same inside and outside, and can circulate energy freely without suffering backlash.

Skin training involves the internal organs in great detail, and the imprinting of the magic ban will stagnate the functioning of that part of the internal organs, so it must be completed within a limited time. It is extremely difficult and should be one of the prerequisites for the 'Nine Bans of Qi Refining', after the flesh and blood representing the 'source of power'.

But An Jing has the laws of the emperor and the time of heaven. All the meticulous details and exciting time-limited training have become boring branding tasks under the accelerated thinking and perfect introspection.

After An Jing finished practicing the seventh taboo, he even felt like yawning, because for him who had mastered the Zhitianshi, this kind of practice in the spiritual realm, even the practice of immortals and gods, became simple, happy and boring.

"I have to thank Master for that glass of spiritual wine."

After completing the second forbidden cultivation, the white lines flowing throughout An Jing's body were almost covering his entire body and seeping deep into his body.

As a method used by immortals in the past, Taibai Haoling Divine Forbidden Art actually requires a lot of resources. That is to say, An Jing must have the advantages of both worlds and the mission of heaven to achieve success quickly.

Even An Jing now felt the magical effect of the cup of spiritual wine he drank last night - that was a spiritual wine that would make even the real Shenzang drunk. Although An Jing's restlessness had been eliminated, more of the warm vitality permeated his limbs and bones, and now became his help.

Ming Guangchen and Jin Yanhua's original intention should be to allow An Jing to practice quickly without going out to seek resources when they are not around, and not to go out and cause trouble.

But they really underestimated the power of An Jing's magic. The power of the spiritual wine that could have lasted for many days was squeezed out by An Jing in one breath.

But the effect is also remarkable.

"Snapped."

An Jing raised his hand, picked up a handful of dust from the ground, and rubbed it hard with his palm.

Bang. A ball of sparks lit up and shot out from between An Jing's palms.

Rub the dust to create fire.

An Jing spread out his hands.

His hands were not fully grown yet, still with some of the immaturity of a child who had not yet passed puberty. The Huangtianhoutu Method and Taibaihaoling Divine Prohibition that An Jing practiced were not external cultivation methods that would transform the surface of the body, so these hands were white and slender, with full and rosy palms and fingertips, perfect and natural. But the next moment, as An Jing exerted his strength on the tendons and membranes, his slightly childish arms instantly began to swell and turn red, his clothes burst, and one after another, blue-black tendons like those made of steel emerged, spreading to the entire arm in a regular and dense manner like the branching of tree branches, like a layer of blue-black metal, with a cold and hard luster.

"boom!"

An Jing's palms collided, and immediately there was a roar that shook the earth. A visible burst of energy was heard, like thunder.

"So that's it." At this moment, An Jing suddenly realized: "This is the 'Vajra Arm'!"

The force was withdrawn, and An Jing's hands returned to their original state. Apart from the torn clothes, there was no way to tell how strong his arms had become.

After that, An Jing began to try different ways of exerting force, making his arms expand and contract.

Qi and blood circulate continuously, but because the tendons, skin, and meridians are restricted, the body remains calm and does not show any signs of fatigue or wear.

"This is the Diamond Arm, the Beam Support Hand, and the Wave Turning Hand..."

After a while, An Jing finished the test and was very satisfied: "The essence of the magic is to fix the structure produced by the operation of various forces, continue to strengthen it, and then reach a realm similar to 'magic power'!"

Just now, when An Jing was breaking through the two restrictions of tendons and skin, he realized that his physical fitness could already withstand stronger infusion of internal energy.

As long as his internal energy is infused to strengthen his body, his body can become extremely solid, extremely strong, and extremely flexible.

Among them, strengthening the arms, bursting out power, and solidifying a portion of the metal aura are the prerequisites for the magical [Vajra Arm].

The explosive force that An Jing had just exerted was obviously far inferior to that of the real Vajra Arm. At least, An Jing's Vajra Arm was unable to block the sword box at the cost of minor injuries - but compared to its original strength, An Jing was at least confident that he could block the direct attack of the sword box without losing too much combat power.

Similarly, An Jing could use the armor-piercing true energy to circulate his arms and solidify them, and achieve a huge force similar to that of a beam-supporting hand - even a cart weighing several thousand pounds could be easily thrown away by him in that state.

The so-called supernatural power is to completely solidify the abilities generated by various practices in oneself, and transform them into solidified abilities similar to minor supernatural powers.

These abilities are also the cornerstones of future great supernatural powers and formations, and are another bright future developed by martial artists.

The reason why An Jing did this test was to confirm why there were generally only five supernatural powers, while his fellow Qigong practitioners could only have a few at most.

The answer is simple.

Just like the magical power of Qi Refining, it will occupy a part of the inherent spiritual power in the practitioner's body, making that part of the spiritual power unable to participate in the great circulation, thus forming its own small circulation.

The supernatural power will also occupy the blood, energy and essence in the body of a martial artist.

For ordinary humans, the stronger the physical training, the stronger the supernatural power they can condense. This is a percentage-based consumption, and five is the limit. No matter how strong the body is, it cannot bear it.

There are only two possibilities to go beyond the five magical powers.

First, he has blood that transcends humans, so beyond the five limits of the human body, he can condense one or two more supernatural powers with the power of his blood.

The blood of the emperor is the model. You Ruhui was even born with supernatural powers. Hua Xianyin and Xuan Yangtong are the supernatural powers brought by their blood.

The second is to swallow some spiritual objects related to the essence of life, or the powerful force of destiny, and use external forces as a basis to create additional supernatural powers for oneself.
