Martial Saint!.

Chapter 287: The boat passed through thousands of sails and saw itself, breaking the two shackles and leaving a name! (Three in one, words plus, asking for monthly votes)
South Kunlun Campus.

Deep in the snow-capped mountains, there is a valley where it is spring all year round, with gurgling streams and a vibrant valley even in winter. It is full of spiritual energy and is truly a treasure land on earth.

In the old days, this place was called Changsheng Valley.

On the one hand, it is because of the climate here, and on the other hand, there is a strange man living in seclusion in the valley. According to the records of Kunlun folk tales, this strange man already existed before the birth of the Dadu Dynasty. In the end, the Dadu Dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of years, perished, but this man still appeared in the world, and he still looked like the young man he was five hundred years ago.

This strange man is Xiaoyao Lao Ren. He is also a long-lived person among the Grand Masters. The average life span of a Grand Master is 420 years. According to research, he lived for 560 years.

If you were to ask which force has the greatest influence in the Western Regions, it would probably be the Great Snow Mountain. At its peak, it was known as the Thousand Peaks of Kunlun, with 30,000 disciples, like a country.

But if you ask about the most mysterious and powerful one, it must be Xiaoyao Palace.

The Xiaoyao Palace tradition was deeply influenced by the Taoist sage Zhuangzi, but was also influenced by some Taoist sorcerers, and took on some mysterious and bizarre colors.

Old Man Xiaoyao advocated seclusion from the world, even though he had many masters under his tutelage. The Three Xiaoyao Immortals were all great masters at the peak of their powers. At their peak, they even had more great masters than Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain, but they were not well-known in the Central Plains.

The real fame came after Old Man Xiaoyao entered Taoism. The three immortals under his command became greedy and wanted to unify Xiaoyao Palace, then incorporate the Great Snow Mountain, sweep away the vassal states in the Western Regions, establish the Western Regions Dynasty, and then raise an army to establish the capital in the Central Plains.

This incident is called the "Rebellion of the Three Immortals" by historians.

The three immortals are great masters, and they are all the beloved disciples of Old Man Xiaoyao. Their character and personalities should be excellent. Logically, they should not do such foolish and crazy things.

Even when Old Man Xiaoyao was alive, in terms of heritage, Xiaoyao Palace could not compare to Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain, not to mention the numerous major sects in the Central Plains and the eastern regions.

The [Golden Horde] behind the Dadu Dynasty also has two long-renowned grandmasters, the [Cang Wolf King] and the [Sky Eagle King]. Together, the two kings are invincible.

No matter how the three immortals thought, they did not have the strength to rule the Central Plains.

After research, historians believe that this matter is closely related to the underworld.

The three immortals once explored deep into the netherworld, looking for a treasure that could prolong their life for the dying old man Xiaoyao. It is unclear whether they found it in the end, but it seems that the three immortals' personalities have changed drastically.

Lu Chenzhou stood between heaven and earth, recalling great events of the ancient times.

In the valley, two figures walked slowly towards us.

Li Gui held his daughter and said with a smile:
"This is Li Yao, my daughter."

Lu Chenzhou couldn't help but touch the baby girl's chubby face.

"So cute, I heard she has a top-grade bone structure?"

"Yes."

"The future female Grandmaster, awakening another talent... I can't imagine it."

"Hahaha, I don't even dare to think about my talent, as long as I can be a Grandmaster."

After not seeing each other for a long time, the teacher and students had endless things to talk about.

Li Gui also praised Lu Chenzhou's achievements in traveling.

he asked:
"Kunlun is over, where else to go?"

Lu Chenzhou shook his head and said:

"I won't leave for now. I want to live in the valley and prepare for my promotion to the second level. After the promotion, I will go back to school while visiting ancient sites."

Li Yu smiled and said:

"Very good. This Changsheng Valley is located in Kunlun South Campus. It is safe and secure. Your teacher Li and I have lived here for half a year. We have been absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon all day long. I feel that my body and mind have been transformed. I think Yao'er's superior physique is also related to this, although there is no scientific basis for it."

It's not just the Li Gui couple. Many bigwigs who want to give birth to offspring will choose places with beautiful mountains and clear waters and rich spiritual energy. No matter what, it will be good for their offspring.

Li Gui said:
"This is indeed a good place for breakthroughs. Far away from the disturbances of the secular world, you can quietly sort out what you have learned in martial arts and adjust your body and mind to the peak state. By the way, what are the conditions for your promotion to the second level? I will give you some reference."

Lu Chenzhou said:

"First, the flawless strength still needs to be polished and cannot completely cover the internal organs. Second, there is the problem of the coordination of the tiger-shaped and swallow-shaped strengths and the transformation of the true qi."

"The acupoints are full?"

"150 acupoints, already resonating."

"Your Qi and blood have also broken through the shackles, right?"

"Well, I took the Blood Lotus Elixir, and my Qi and Blood are now at 60 points."

"What about boxing theory?"

"Spearmanship and Tiger Form are both at the fifth level, and Swallow Form is at the fourth level."

Li Gui showed a relieved smile:
"That's all. With your current conditions, just focus on honing your strength to break through. My conditions were far worse than yours, but I was able to succeed.

Especially with your 60 points of Qi and blood, to some extent, you have already stepped halfway into the second shackles. Taking the Blood Lotus Treasure Medicine itself is a preview of breaking the shackles, and it can also increase the success rate of breakthrough. According to my many years of teaching experience, your success rate is above 95%, and the remaining 5% is luck. You will definitely have no problem in this regard. If you were not practicing with multiple factions, I think your success rate of breakthrough should be above 99%.

Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Teacher, what was your success rate at the beginning?"

Li Gui recalled the past and said calmly:
"I'm not high, 60%. I actually have some gambling elements."

Lu Chenzhou thought, teacher, this is indeed not high.

If it were him, he wouldn't try it unless he was more than 90% sure.

Li Yu smiled helplessly:
“So your master and I are satisfied to become masters in this lifetime, and we dare not think about the realms in the future. Even if we can open up all the acupoints and practice to the limit, with our talents, the success rate of becoming a grandmaster may not even be 20%.

Once the success rate is less than 50%, you have to think carefully. If you have nothing else to worry about except martial arts and are not afraid of death, you can give it a try. We are both mortals, it is impossible to completely cut off worldly ties and ignore death.

Of course, with your talent, you don’t have to worry about these things before you become a Grandmaster. Just do your best and the destiny will surely be yours. Just keep making great progress.”

The three of them sat on the ground, basking in the warm winter sun, chatting on the grass, with a gentle breeze, until Yao'er started crying loudly. Li Gui stood up holding his daughter and said:

"Chen Zhou, we will return to Su City tomorrow."

"Won't the teacher stay for a while?"

"No, it's not safe to be outside with a child."

"Okay, have a good trip, and see you in Sucheng."

Lu Chenzhou looked at Li Gui's figure going away and felt emotional:

"People really can't live alone."

He clearly felt that the teacher was completely different after he had a wife and daughter. The teacher's ending was the fate of most ordinary martial artists. On the long road of martial arts, there will always be people who can't keep up with the team. At this time, it might as well change the way of life.

Life is colorful.

He followed the stream deeper into the valley until he saw before him the ruins of towering buildings, charred pillars, and collapsed eaves.

"The fairy palace on earth is burned down."

Knowing that Lu Chenzhou was coming, many students were already waiting here, many of them coming from the North Campus. Their eyes were full of expectation and respect...

Before this, many people had gained a lot from the projection of the unprecedented battle. Not only Kunlun, but also other martial arts universities and martial artists from all walks of life had come to make the pilgrimage.

The martial arts of Daxia are full of vitality. On the martial arts forum, some people regard Lu Chenzhou's travels around the world and Zhang Zu's two manifestations as signs of the beginning of a great era.

They said that Lu Chenzhou, the enlightened saint, was the key to a new era, and that he would unlock with his footsteps the treasures of Taoism that had been sealed away in the long river of time.

Connecting the past and the future, carrying on the past and opening up the future!
Perhaps, this is the son of the times, the destiny!
Too many honors have been piled up on Lu Chenzhou, but after talking with many sages, he knows that the truly great ones are those disappeared ancestors.

He is just a porter.

The road ahead for those who pioneer the path is long and arduous.

Surrounded by countless people and watching, Lu Chenzhou stepped into the ruins.

Ye Zhiqiu came quietly with a sword on his back, looking excited.

Before, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Chenzhou's great reputation, but after witnessing Zhang Zu's divine manifestation in the Great Snow Mountain, all his dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant. After observing Zhang Zu's battle, his swordsmanship successfully entered the fifth realm and he comprehended the [Sword Intent]!
Lu Chenzhou, the eternal God!

So what if the four great Dao bodies are not as good as my brother Lu!
Brother Lu is a great man who truly benefits others for ten lifetimes.

In ruins.

Lu Chenzhou passed through the Narcissus Hall, the Wood Fairy Hall, and the Golden Fairy Hall, feeling the remaining traces of the Three Immortals of Freedom and gained a little. He combined the content of the history class to look for those lost stories in the ruins.

Dusk.

The red glow of the setting sun shines on a seemingly simple thatched cottage, where the Taoist aura is the strongest. Outside the cottage, there is a weathered black stone tablet.

[I enjoy this business without any hesitation, and I don’t envy the immortals in heaven]

Next to it, there is an official sign.

[The place where the old man Xiaoyao practiced and attained enlightenment and passed away. ]

Lu Chenzhou pushed open the old door and stepped one foot inside. He could already hear songs from the past. When his whole body entered, the door closed automatically.

thump—

He opened his eyes and saw the simple interior decoration of the thatched cottage again, with a futon, a desk, pens and ink, a sword hanging on the wall... and a handsome young man staring at him.

The boy has a childish face, but his temperament is very mature.

Those eyes have seen all the changes in the world.

Lu Chenzhou clasped his fists and said:

"Junior has met Elder Xiaoyao."

"What year is tonight?"

"It has been more than a thousand years since the fall of Dadu."

"It's been so long."

The young man sat on the mat and fell into silence.

Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Senior, do you know I'm coming?"

When he pushed open the door, he felt that old man Xiaoyao seemed to be waiting for someone.

Old Man Xiaoyao said:
"Yes."

"Senior, can you see the future?"

“I can’t see it. Who can see the future?”

"Before Bodhidharma entered the path of Buddhism, he had accurately predicted the birth of Lü Zu."

Hearing this, Old Man Xiaoyao laughed out loud:

"The great monks are just being mysterious. Bodhidharma did not see the future. He just stood high and saw far. He deduced from the will of heaven and calculated some things, just like the tide-chasers on the Qiantang River. With the wisdom accumulated from generation to generation, he analyzed the objective laws of heaven and earth and was able to deduce the arrival of the next wave of tide. And Lu Zu was the person who was pushed onto the wave by the times before the next wave of tide arrived."

After hearing the explanation from old man Xiaoyao, Lu Chenzhou suddenly understood.

He also thought that the wise men of the past were able to predict the past and present.

This method is indeed too shocking.

Old Man Xiaoyao's explanation is much more reasonable.

Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Lü Zu was a trendsetter of the times, is Zhang Zu also one of them?"

Old Man Xiaoyao smiled and said:

"Of course, don't you, too?"

"clear."

"The times are determined by heaven and also by man. As long as there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be times. It is lucky to be a trend-setter of the times. You can catch the first batch of big fish washed up by the tide and see the best scenery.

But being a tide-rider is also dangerous. You are a pathfinder, a pioneer. As long as the tide changes slightly, you may be thrown into the river, and there is no way back. So you must tread on thin ice and be patient, so that you can succeed. "

"Thank you for your teachings, senior."

"Besides you, the last person I met before I entered the Dao was Zhang Zu. His cultivation was higher than mine, and he had one foot in the sixth realm. His vision and will had even reached the seventh realm. His sword intent alone had the eight buckets of the Heavenly Heart Seal of all the sword cultivators in the world. Zhang Zu vaguely saw the tide a thousand years later.

He said that this wave of change is the only major change in the Great Xia martial arts in thousands of years, and there will be more younger generations who are better than us old guys standing at the forefront of the wave. "

Lu Chenzhou said:

"In today's world, there are indeed many strong people, but without you pioneers, there would not be such a grand scene. The ancients and the moderns are equally outstanding."

Old Man Xiaoyao said:
"Are there seven realms at the top of the world?"

"There is."

"What about the Eight Realms?"

"Not yet, but maybe soon."

Lu Chenzhou thought of the Dragon King or the Eternal Immortal.

"Is Xiaoyao Palace still there?"

"After the senior entered the Dao, the Three Immortals were suspected to be disturbed by the existence of the Netherworld, and the Rebellion of the Three Kings broke out. Under internal and external troubles, Xiaoyao Palace eventually disappeared, but the inheritance was not cut off."

"I see. In the end, we are still no match for time."

An old man and a young man were talking in a thatched cottage.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night.

Outside the ruins, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

There are also some people who wait persistently.

Everyone was curious about what Lu Chenzhou saw in the thatched cottage.

Talking about the past and the present, Lu Chenzhou gained a lot.

Suddenly, the young man in front of him exuded a strong aura of death, and his handsome face suddenly became old, like a withered lotus in winter, with only a trace of life remaining.

The Dao Yun is about to end here.

Old Man Xiaoyao said:
"I see that you have the temperament of practicing both Buddhism and Taoism, and you practice both internal and external cultivation. You also have some flavor of Xiangxing Quan, and you also practice upright spearmanship."

"Senior has a keen eye, it is true."

“When I was alive, I had some knowledge of Buddhism and Taoism, but I was more proficient in the strange arts from the outside world, which can be traced back to the Qi refining art of our ancient ancestors.

To some extent, Qi Refining is also considered one of the origins of martial arts. Before we part, I will teach you a unique hidden weapon technique that can serve as an auxiliary technique for protecting the Dao."

Two streams of black and white energy spread out from the old man's Niwan Palace and lower Dantian, flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians and acupoints throughout the body, and finally gathered into an endlessly flowing gray vortex in the right palm, floating and rotating like an energy ball. On the surface of this gray sphere, life and death are intertwined, sometimes hot, sometimes cold.

Old Man Xiaoyao said:
"My hidden weapon technique does not require flying needles, stones, date pits or other media. It is condensed from the innate true energy, so it requires the second level of cultivation to be used... I see that you are only one step away from the second level. It is most suitable for you to practice this technique. But remember, this technique is extremely vicious and is an absolute killing technique. Don't use it if you don't want to kill people. Don't use it when fighting with others."

"Junior, remember this."

The next moment, the gray ball in the old man's palm shot out. Wherever it passed, the void seemed to be shattered. It passed through the wall and flew into the sky.

boom!
The sphere exploded, and the clouds within a radius were blown away by the shock wave.

The breath of life and death interweaves, presenting an illusion of withering and flourishing plants, killing everything.

Even if a master were to fall into it, he would probably suffer a fate worse than death.

Lu Chenzhou's heart: "..."

It has such great power, just like a rocket.

Senior, are you sure this is just a hidden weapon technique?

The impression he had of hidden weapon techniques was Tang Zhe's flying needle and thread method.

The old man's figure gradually faded, and he warned:
“Although this technique is powerful, it also requires a high level of consumption and control over the innate true energy. It should be used sparingly in normal times and can be used as a self-defense trump card at critical moments.

In addition, to practice this technique, one needs to cultivate a breath of [innate vital energy] and [acquired dead energy]. Life and death converge and collide to form a [life and death energy]. When practicing, one must pay attention to harmonizing the life and death energy to avoid conflict and self-destruction.

[Innate Vitality] Everyone is born with it. The higher the level of cultivation, the richer the vitality and the higher the quality. As for [Acquired Death Qi], it can only be produced by a person who has just died within a quarter of an hour. You need to use this technique to collect death Qi on your own, absorb it into your body, refine it and strengthen it. The stronger the deceased is, the higher the quality of the death Qi.

The quality of the life and death energy is related to the power of your use of this method. Don't go down the devil's way and practice with the mortal dead energy. This method is both devilish and righteous. Whether it is immortal or devil depends on your thoughts. I believe in your martial arts will, so I pass on the method to you.

Don’t let me down…”

Lu Chenzhou quickly assured:

"The younger generation will not let down the older generation."

This method is indeed extraordinary.

Judging from the historical data collected by later generations, Old Man Xiaoyao was the second strongest person in Dadu Dynasty after Zhang Zu. His strength was stronger than other grand masters, but weaker than the two kings of the Golden Horde combined.

The illusion vanished.

The thatched cottage was empty.

Outside the window, on the Kunlun Plateau, the sky is clear and the stars are as numerous as buckets.

In my mind, the martial arts tree has grown to a height of twenty feet.

Inside the scene, towering trees are also growing vigorously, and they are about to touch the sky. The barren land around the temple is already covered with green grass. The pool of water formed by the flow of the spring of life is also getting larger and larger. One day, these springs will flow eastward like the Kunlun source, forming large rivers and lakes, and all over the world.

Lu Chenzhou had some realization:

“The process of martial arts practice is the journey of creating the world. The acupoints are like springs, and the body is like the membrane of heaven and earth. Strength, true qi, and strong qi… these are the manifestation of the power gathered from the springs. They are the rivers, lakes, and seas that give birth to civilization, and the mountains and peaks. When the body reaches its peak, the world will also be complete.”

This world is an abstract metaphor, but if human beings can continue to become stronger and make the false become true, then why can't this inner world be nurtured into the real world?

But this step is too far away.

Even if one is at the top level, one should not be able to reach this level.

"Breaking the first shackle is also called [grinding the flesh]. The strength is used to grind the flesh and strengthen the body. Breaking the second shackle is [beating the tendons]. The strength is transformed into true energy, and the [Inner Heaven and Earth River] is born in the inner scene. The tendons, veins and blood vessels are the river channels.

By forging iron bars, the river becomes wider and more majestic, and the riverbank becomes stronger and more stable, so that more true qi can be generated and accommodated, allowing the true qi to flow smoothly throughout the body, further polishing the body, forming an ecological cycle in the body, and the world becomes more perfect. "

Through the conversations about the past and present with Old Man Xiaoyao, Lu Chenzhou's understanding of martial arts became more and more profound. The sage did not tell Lu Chenzhou how to break the second level, after all, the situations in ancient and modern times are different, but his occasional witty remarks can make people suddenly enlightened.

"This trip is worthwhile."

He looked at the trunk of the martial arts tree.

On the Cloud Ladder, another technique emerged. [Life and Death Talisman: First Level (1%)]

“The Life and Death Qi Talisman is not an internal skill, but a secret method. The minimum requirement for practicing this method is to be a person who has broken through the second shackles and has generated innate true qi. There are 12 levels in total. When you practice to the limit, you can condense 12 gray energy balls in your body at the same time.

Its scientific name is [Mysterious Pearl of Life and Death]. When all the Mysterious Pearls explode, their power is combined. Even those who are at a higher level would not dare to confront it head-on.

According to the recollections of old man Xiaoyao, before his death, he had sparred with Zhang Zu in an uninhabited area of ​​Kunlun Mountain. Although he was no match for Zhang Zu, he was confident that if he could master this secret technique and fire all 12 beads at the same time, he would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on Zhang Zu.

However, this method was created by Old Man Xiaoyao in his later years, and he has not yet mastered it. Moreover, given his personality, he would not use this method on his friends just to win or lose. "

The "Talisman of Life and Death" is a secret technique of intermediate level magical power.

Its height in the martial arts tree is second only to "The World Honored One's Tribulation Method".

The latter should be a method of refining the mind at the superior level of magical power.

As for "The Elephant's Invisible Form", this method is rather special because it is incomplete and therefore has no quality. If it could be completed, it should be a basic skill similar to "Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pillar". Of course, its status is even higher than the peerless magic skills.

"I have traveled all this way and have learned so many magical skills for free. I have to learn them after I reach level 2. Just getting started won't be enough."

Of course, learning magical skills requires gradual progress. At present, "Ladder to the Clouds" and "Life and Death Talisman" are relatively simple, so you can try to learn them first. "The World Honored One's Tribulations" is too abstruse, so it is better to practice it after you have mastered the Buddhist principles and cultivation.

Lu Chenzhou pushed open the door of the thatched hut and stepped into the deep dark night.

Many eyes looked at him in silence, and someone couldn't help but say:
"Brother Lu, did you gain anything?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"Have."

The crowd made way for him and watched him disappear.

"Enlightenment in the thatched cottage!"

"Don't be anxious, and gain enlightenment in an orderly manner."

……

The next day.

The Li Gui couple left.

A thatched hut was built on the hillside of Changsheng Valley.

Lu Chenzhou lived in Changsheng Valley.

He had a feeling that the breakthrough would come in these few days.

Changsheng Valley is the back garden of Kunlun Campus, so safety is a no-brainer.

The scenery here is beautiful and the spiritual energy is nourishing.

Lu Chenzhou planned to hone his strength here.

In fact, he is not the only teacher and student of Kunlun Wuda who lives in seclusion in Changsheng Valley to practice. On the hillside and among the woods, thatched cottages are scattered in the landscape painting.

Lu Chenzhou looked inward at his Dantian, with the tiger-shaped force at the head, the swallow-shaped force and the spear's force surrounding the tiger shape, rotating slowly, faintly forming a pattern like the Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish. Under the coordination of the [Yin-Yang Divine Seed], there was no violent conflict.

"Tai Chi is a good thing. In addition, I use the spirit of the spear to control the spirit of the tiger and swallow. It also has a certain effect on alleviating the conflict between the two."

From this perspective, this level has been resolved.

He looked inside his body and saw that the energy generated in the acupoints was still constantly generating strength, which was attached to the heart, lungs, liver and other internal organs.

The internal organs are the most vulnerable part of a martial artist. Only a Grandmaster who has reached the fifth level can truly begin the practice of strengthening the internal organs, which is the fifth level [Gold-plated Internal Organs]. At that time, the internal organs are like a golden body, and they have super strong defense. Even if the internal organs are taken out, they can be put back and heal automatically as long as it is not too long.

Some non-critical organs can regenerate even if they are removed.

Therefore, unless a grandmaster's internal organs are destroyed in an instant and he is completely annihilated, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he can save his life. With the help of powerful medicine and the fountain of life, he can recover as before and be full of energy in no time.

The fatal wound in the eyes of mortals is no longer fatal.

Of course, if you lose your heart or head, you will still die.

While honing his strength, Lu Chenzhou continued to practice the "Bodhi Sutra". In addition, Kunlun Martial Arts University also opened the gravity training room to him so that he could practice horizontal training.

Breaking through the realm and practicing cultivation should not be delayed.

……

Sioux City.

Tang Zhe listened to his subordinates' reports and fell into deep thought.

"He lives in the Longevity Valley of Kunlun Wuda?"

Is this how Lu Chenzhou’s travels end?
Could it be that he is ready to break the second shackles?
As far as he knew, this guy had only been promoted for three years.

The subordinate asked:

"Do you still need to send out the assassins? Our men are hiding outside Kunlun."

Tang Zhe's eyes flashed with madness, but he finally said calmly:

"Give up for now. It's not easy to train a death warrior... We have to act according to circumstances."

Lu Chenzhou's breakthrough became known to everyone.

He believed that the master behind Lu Chenzhou was already waiting to catch him.

Going out at this time would be courting death!

……

Kunlun Wuhan University North Campus.

Office of the Vice Chancellor.

Nan Dou Xingjun Shang Yangqi answered his old friend's call and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, let me guess, what you want to talk about is related to your good disciple, right?"

On the other end of the phone, it was Wang Changming's voice:

"Brother Shangyang, please help me keep an eye on him. You know, after his travels, he has become a key target for elimination by many evil forces. Even on campus, we must not let our guard down. I will treat you to a drink after I become the Queen."

"What kind of wine? I won't drink it unless it's a hundred-year-old wine."

"820-year-old [Xianerhong]."

"Brother Wang is so generous. Leave it to me!"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Changming looked at Li Gui in front of him and said:
"It's okay. Chen Zhou has been traveling all the way. I don't know how many magical weapons and treasures he has obtained. Unless the Grandmaster comes in person, with his means and cleverness, it will be safe."

……

I heard that Lu Chenzhou is going to break through in the next few days.

Ji Xuantong showed a complicated and relieved smile:

“This day has finally come.”

Qingtiancang's words came true and his prediction was accurate.

Shi Ruyu had already expected this.

As expected, when Junior Brother returned, his body was already in a broken state.

She can't fall too far behind. After a long period of training, her Qi and blood have reached their limits, but her acupoints are still a little short of perfection. She will hopefully break free from the shackles this year.

……

Apart from his relatives and friends, Lu Chenzhou did not tell anyone else about his upcoming breakthrough. His classmates at Kunlun Wuda University guessed it when they saw him settling down in Changsheng Valley.

This day.

Not far from Lu Chenzhou's hut, there was also a master who built a hut here. His body was like a sword, and his eyes were like torches. He was the master of the Heavenly Ranking, Ye Qingcheng. His master's aura soared into the sky, sweeping in all directions, and the grass and trees fell down.

Obviously, he came here to protect the way.

Although there is competition among the nine major powers in Tianxia, ​​in the general direction, everyone has the same goal. They all hope that Daxia can give birth to a new top figure to support the world.

Competition is also fair.

With the Grandmaster in charge, the attention of the villains hiding in the dark gradually faded away.

Lu Chenzhou saw the help from his relatives, friends and seniors and kept it in his heart.

……

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

3 month 10 day.

Outside the Valley of Longevity.

A figure came gracefully, like a fairy descending to the earth.

Shangguan Xue, Lord of Jinxu, is the contemporary head of Kunlun.

Ye Qingcheng quickly stood up and bowed:
"Principal, why are you here?"

Shangguan Xue stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Lu Chenzhou's house.

"I'll take a look around."

In fact, it was the Fairy Yao Chi who asked her to come.

My sister said that Lu Chenzhou's promotion was of great importance. After this trip, the top masters have gradually recognized the Dragon King's evaluation of "the top figure". Within the scope of our ability, we must escort him and let him grow. She felt helpless. Even Kunlun's own students, my sister, have never cared so much.

People recognized by the Dragon King are just different.

……

Lu Chenzhou built a hut.

In the inner scene, the sky and the stars resonate, the stars move, and the starlight connects the stars together. In an instant, pure white and flawless energy threads fall to the earth. The divine power originating from the acupoints is constantly pouring into the membrane of the inner world.

Boom! The world was expanding, the ends of the world were constantly extending, and new space was opened up in the chaotic void. This meant that the shackles of Lu Chenzhou's body were further broken, and the upper limit of the blood and qi that could be contained was rapidly expanding.

Breaking the limit, the resonance of 150 acupoints will increase the blood and qi by about 17 points. The upper limit of breaking the first level is 53 points, and the lower limit of breaking the second level is 70 points. But his blood and qi soon exceeded 70 points and continued to rise, finally reaching 77 points before stopping. When he first entered the second level, his blood and qi were far superior to those of the same level. This was the effect of the blood lotus medicine.

After the shackles of Qi and blood are broken,
In Lu Chenzhou's Dantian, three completely different forces blended together under the coordination of the Yin-Yang Divine Seed. The force circulated throughout the body as the Tiger Demon Tai Sui Gong was performed, and was finally input into the [Qian Gu Point] on both hands to purify Qi, blood, and energy.

When the strong force emerged again, it transformed into a "six-color air" shining with pure gold, scarlet red, pure white, lush green, blue-purple, and khaki. Around this air, six completely different microscopic visions emerged, such as golden swords and iron horses, blazing fires, howling winds, and lush forests, representing the five elements of the current martial arts.

Of course, among the six colors, red and gold are the main colors, which come from the fire and gold of the tiger-shaped fist and the gold represented by the spear technique.

The remaining colors account for a smaller proportion.

"The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. The perfect innate true qi should include gold, wood, water, fire and earth. I haven't learned water-attributed martial arts yet, so it's incomplete, but it doesn't have much impact... Other people's innate true qi is even more incomplete than mine. It won't be too late to complete it when I have a higher level of cultivation in the future.

Moreover, if the cultivation is too low, it is difficult to deal with the problem of attribute restraint, which invisibly increases the difficulty of practicing with the same faction. In the early stage of martial arts practice, quality is more important than quantity. "

This strand of "six-colored true qi" flows through the eight extraordinary meridians and finally settles in the lower dantian. It slowly grows as the qi sea rotates slowly.

The Qi and blood hurdles and the true Qi hurdles were easily passed. After going through many trainings to temper the body with natural treasures, the pain brought by breaking the two shackles this time was nothing to mention.

His internal organs, protected by his flawless strength, only suffered minor injuries. A layer of blood armor as thin as a cicada's wing condensed on the surface of his body, mixed with some dirty impurities that seeped through the pores due to the transformation of his body, emitting a faint fishy smell.

With a slight shake, the blood armor turned into blood mist and dissipated. Lu Chenzhou quickly took an expensive [Huitian Zhengti Pill]. The medicinal effect turned into a green warm current, which, together with the blood lotus and yellow dragon auras, quickly restored his physical strength and repaired his internal and external injuries.

He didn't know when, but two figures who looked exactly like him appeared in the distance before his eyes, one with bloodshot and violent eyes, the other with white eyes, ignorant and dull.

Lu Chenzhou murmured:

"The will barrier is here."

The will barrier was called "the calamity of the inner demon" in ancient times.

Martial arts is a training of both the body and the mind.

As long as one is a human being, even the strongest ones, their state of mind cannot be perfect. Starting from breaking the second shackles, every time a warrior breaks the shackles, he needs to go through a test of will. This level is mysterious and there is no specific way to deal with it. As long as the martial arts will is strong enough, one can basically get through it.

This was Lu Chenzhou's first time dealing with this situation, so he was very cautious.

As soon as the two figures appeared, they drilled into Lu Chenzhou's body. Apart from the spiritual weapon bracelet, only the Great Sun Dragon Cloak played a slight blocking role. The rest of the magic weapons and horizontal training were useless against the two inner demons [Angry Soul] and [Foolish Soul].

Lu Chenzhou did not try to stop it.

The inner demon can only be eliminated but cannot be blocked, because the inner demon has always been hidden in people's three souls and seven spirits, seven emotions and six desires, and is a collection of negative emotions.

These two are only part of the inner demons. There are also a bunch of other inner demons such as [greed soul], [lust soul], [fear soul], [jealousy soul], etc. The specific souls vary from person to person.

Inside the interior location.

The angry spirit and the foolish spirit descended like gods. As pure negative emotions, they invaded his mind. Lu Chenzhou's face was distorted, and he sometimes grinned foolishly and roared wildly. Evil thoughts lurked in the depths of his spiritual world and tried to turn the tables.

"Hahaha, kill kill kill!"

"Life is so boring, why not just die?"

"Die, die!"

"Martial arts is too difficult. With my talent, it is impossible for me to reach the pinnacle."

"That's right, if you are so foolish, what's the point of living? Die!"

Countless voices shouting in my mind.

Positive and negative emotions are one and the same.

This is how one can be a living and complete person.

However, if one does not adhere to certain spiritual principles and allows negative emotions to grow, under the influence of the ever-expanding power, the martial artist will inevitably go astray.

Many of the black warriors in Xiaoyaoyou came from this perspective.

At the critical moment, Lu Chenzhou kept his mind focused. In the inner scene, towering trees stretched out millions of green branches and leaves, sweeping over like an overwhelming force. Chen Po and Chi Po, one holding a mad knife and the other holding a giant hammer, forced the branches back with their violent attacks.

Lu Chenzhou, who was at the fifth level of boxing theory, had a strong will in martial arts, like a giant tree rooted in the earth, only to stretch out more branches, and eventually almost fill up the heaven and earth. The two spirits of anger and ignorance had nowhere to hide, and soon they were entangled and strangled into pieces.

This was a completely crushing battle.

The test of willpower was passed easily.

Interior scene, calm is restored.

The towering tree was just warming up. Lu Chenzhou felt that even if all the other demons came together to attack, they might not be the match of the tree. His martial arts will was a complete saturation attack on the demons at the current level.

All difficulties were overcome one by one.

The expansion of the interior locations also stopped.

In the desolate land, the Palace of the God of Meat has transformed into a hundred-foot-tall, antique-style pavilion. On the pillars in the palace, the yellow dragon aura has become much thicker and more solid than before, and even exudes a faint dragon power.

Golden dragon eyes, overwhelming and domineering!
The Fountain of Life, as the heaven and earth expanded, had turned into a small lake with a diameter of about a mile. The blood-red lotus continued to sprout new leaves, occupying a large area of ​​the lake.

"The Fountain of Life, the two precious energies, all have been promoted."

In terms of physical body, Lu Chenzhou's defense, self-healing ability, physical fitness, etc., even without the blessing of horizontal training, are far superior to those of martial artists at the same level.

slam-la-

Inside the location, there was the sound of a gurgling stream.

Lu Chenzhou came to the sky and looked from a God's perspective. On the green land, there were crisscrossing streams, filled with six-color luster.

"The river of inner heaven and earth, the river of true energy!"

These waterways are the embodiment of human tendons, veins and blood vessels. The next step of practice is to use true Qi to continuously flush the waterways, making them wider and longer.

This distinguishes four forms of true Qi: Qi is like a stream, Qi is like a river, Qi is like a river, and Qi is like the sea. They are the iconic abilities of the four minor realms.

The more true Qi you have, the thicker the true Qi shield will be, the stronger the defense will be, and comprehensive qualities such as lethality and endurance will be improved accordingly. This is the fundamental basis for the power of Breaking the Second!

Lu Chenzhou passed along the river and came to the peak of martial arts. He passed through the first spiral staircase unimpeded and stepped onto the observation deck of the second spiral. Looking up, the peak figure in the clouds seemed to be much clearer.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the rock wall, where there were obviously more inscriptions.

[If you want to overcome the inner demons, you can first practice Buddhism, which is the best way to overcome greed, anger and ignorance - Bodhidharma]

"Master Bodhidharma is leaving a guide for future generations..."

[Stop all fantasies, eliminate all evil thoughts, the mystery of Taoism - Lü Chunyang]

"Lü Zu is not willing to be outdone."

[Wudang Taoism can also help you overcome mental difficulties - Zhang Yinxian.]

[If you want to cultivate your mind, first practice Zen - Kong Wen]

Lu Chenzhou finally understood.

"Wow, the Buddhist and Taoist sages are recruiting students and advertising here."

He has reached the pinnacle of martial arts in debate, he is worthy of being a big shot.

This was a path he had never imagined.

[Go up to the second floor - Wanshixian]

[Buddhism and Taoism, no worries about inner demons - Heavenly Dragon King]

"Hahaha, the Dragon King is still so arrogant... He never forgets his original intention."

Lu Chenzhou used his hand as a pen, and six-colored light flowed at his fingertips.

He danced on the rock wall:

[Thousands of sails compete to cross the sea, and the sky is full of frost! - Lu Chenzhou]

After traveling for half a year, he met sages from ancient and modern times, saw the vastness of the world, and saw all living beings. Finally, he built a house in Kunlun and broke through the second mysterious barrier in silence!
