The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 100: Immortal and Martial Arts Merge, Blood Bell (Subscription Request)

On the Baisha River, a large ship was floating downstream.

The night was quiet and silent; the only sound was the sound of waves hitting the side of the boat, one wave higher than the other.

In a house, Chu Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged, finally slowly opened his eyes.

He let out a long sigh, a very casual movement, but it created a hurricane in the room.

But when it was about to wreak havoc, it was suppressed by Chu Zhou's powerful force and completely eliminated.

However, if you look closely at Chu Zhou's expression, it is not difficult to find that he has a faint smile on his face.

It was only because he discovered that when practicing on this ship, the density of the water-attributed spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far greater than that inside the Xuanzhen Temple, so the speed of practice would naturally be a bit faster.

But this is not what surprised Chu Zhou the most!

What surprised Chu Zhou the most was that, feeling the rippling water and the rolling waves, he seemed to understand the true meaning of the "vibration" spiritual particles.

Then, the two sides complemented each other and actually contributed to the rapid improvement of his magic power. Just tonight's practice was four times as much as usual.

In fact, it is not that the Heavenly Palace does not have ways to increase the speed of cultivation. Not to mention elixirs, just the formation, the most common combination of the spirit gathering formation and the separation formation, can harvest pure spiritual inspiration from heaven and earth.

It’s a pity that the most common method is a luxury for Chu Zhou.

It is a pleasant surprise that I can find this method today.

But it is normal to think about it. After all, "The Inverted Sky River Method" is mainly based on water methods, which is most suitable here.

So, after returning from Tianquan County, I might have to go to the Baisha River more often.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhou pulled his thoughts back, found a comfortable position to lie down, and prepared to enter the Reception Hall again.

There is still one class hour left for "Basic Control of Water Magic", but Chu Zhou didn't plan to use it. Instead, he planned to exchange it for another basic course.

……

The reception hall,
Under the reflection of the starry sky.

Chu Zhou looked at the rolling projection, quickly locked onto one of the items, and said, "I want to redeem the "Basic Immortal Martial Arts Convergence"!"

"Sure?"

"Sure!"

"Deduct 200 merit points to exchange for "Basic Immortal Martial Arts Convergence". The learning time is six lessons. Do you want to start now?"

"let's start!"

The light and shadows changed, revealing a huge training ground with yellow sand on the ground and weapon racks all around, with all kinds of weapons.

A three-meter-tall, burly man wearing a yellow shirt and a red scarf appeared.

In terms of body shape, he is almost the same as Chu Zhou after he opened the Dominant Body, but he gives people the aura of being more fierce and fearless, as if his whole body is filled with violence, like a human-shaped ferocious beast.

As soon as he appeared, he locked onto Chu Zhou: "Okay, okay, there are very few people who like to practice martial arts together. You are a good kid, not bad. I will teach you all the knowledge, it depends on how much you can learn."

"So where do we start?"

"Of course we have to fight first. Let's see how many rounds you can last in my hands!"

Before he finished his words, he rushed up and hammered Chu Zhou like a mad war machine.

Chu Zhou had not expected that the learning in the Jieying Hall would include a combat component. He almost instinctively activated his dominance, thinking that he would not suffer any loss.

The result was that he was beaten even worse.

Of course, the sound of the Tao still rang out in the martial arts arena, transforming into the big man's voice and pouring into Chu Zhou's ears.

So, Chu Zhou knew what the merger of immortals and warriors meant.
Even in the history of Heaven, the paths of Immortality and Martial Arts were separated a long time ago.

Immortals have their own path to immortality, and martial artists have their own path to martial arts. The two are different from the beginning and the end, so the gap between them is naturally huge.

Later, when it develops to a certain level, there becomes only one great way and all things converge.

Only when martial arts became a form of body training did it coincide with the path to immortality, becoming a branch of the immortal path. Gradually, the two became compatible and developed many powerful methods.

Like the law of heaven and earth, like three heads and six arms, like rebirth through dripping blood, like the body becoming holy...

At this stage, for the immortals in heaven, magical powers and magic weapons are their means, but if someone gets close to them, it would be a pity if they don’t have a few tricks to train their bodies and attack.

Therefore, they developed various methods and mastered many tricks, so that they could use magic power to refine the body, close combat, and transform into swords and swords.

In fact, magic power is superior to internal energy. The role that internal energy can play can only be better if replaced by magic power.

The teacher Chu Zhou chose was named Huang Dali. He looked fierce and difficult to get along with, but his background was actually even more terrifying.

He was born a Yellow Turban warrior and was a member of the Heavenly Palace's external expeditions. He killed countless people in his life, almost all of which he spent on the battlefield. He also guarded the Heavenly Gate and worked under the Four Heavenly Kings.

This resume will be useful anywhere.

That's him. He is used to fighting on the battlefield. If nothing happens, he will feel uncomfortable.

So, I took on my current task and became an instructor.

Chu Zhou saw all of the above in the information. He was naturally satisfied, but he never thought that this teacher would be so violent.

After being beaten all night, Chu Zhou almost woke up from a nightmare.
When he sat up with a start, he found that his whole body was wet with sweat, including the bed under him.

His muscles also showed an abnormal rhythm, like muscle tremors after excessive force. To be honest, in his practice so far, he had never been forced to the point of muscle spasm, even in his dreams!
But do you think this course is worth it?

Chu Zhou can only say it’s worth it, very worth it!
After calming down for a moment, Chu Zhou slowly raised his hand, and his five fingers became dragon claws. He stretched them out casually, and magic power surged out, turning into ice-blue dragon claws that whistled, which was quite amazing.

But this is not the end. After the dragon claw disappeared, Chu Zhou put his fingers together to form a sword and swung it lightly.

Then a clanging sound was heard, as if a sword was drawn to fight an enemy. An ice-blue sword light flashed across, leaving a sword mark on the table several meters away before disappearing.

This is the method Chu Zhou learned last night, using magic power to replace internal force, and using some small tricks, he can completely achieve the effect of replacing it, and it is even more powerful.

The so-called fusion of immortals and martial arts is the foundation of the foundation.

Of course, many of the so-called basics of the Jieying Hall can be seen here as advanced applications of internal strength.

Anyway, for Chu Zhou, it was not a problem at all for him to use magic power to disguise his internal strength.

In other words, even if his internal organs training was not yet complete, he still had the means to open up his meridians, and disguised himself as a great martial artist who could open up his meridians. No one dared to say that he was fake.

Of course, the gains did not stop there. In the first class alone, Chu Zhou also solved a doubt that had been in his mind.

What is the innate martial intention?

The innate martial will of this world is also called "true will" in the Heavenly Court. It was discovered by warriors, recognized and used by sword practitioners, and finally widely recognized and accepted.

The so-called true meaning can actually be traced back to some universal characteristics of the spiritual particles.

From the perspective of the Heavenly Court, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is a magical particle that feeds on dark matter and dark energy.

However, the immortal cultivators' use of the spiritual power of heaven and earth is actually limited, because the spiritual particles will inevitably retain a portion of energy in order to maintain their own existence and operation.

But there is one special situation, that is, strong emotions, whether positive or negative, can stimulate that part of lazy energy and thus burst out greater power.

This is one of the characteristics of spiritual particles, and it is also the origin of the true meaning of martial arts.

All those who have mastered the true meaning of martial arts have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Some have strong wills and minds of iron, while others have deep hatred and are determined to pay back their blood debts with blood.

Their will can affect the release of spiritual particle energy, making it more powerful than ordinary attacks.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that this is the pursuit of martial arts. The immortal way actually prefers "perfection of skills and spontaneous spirituality".

For example, the water snake technique that Chu Zhou has not yet learned, when used, it becomes as spiritual as a real snake, which is considered the pinnacle of the technique.

Back to the point, Chu Zhou was very satisfied that he had solved a huge confusion in his heart. However, he didn't have much time left to sort it out.

Because the ship had already docked, they entered a small town called Sanhe.

……

the other side,
Barren mountains and dilapidated temples.

Crack!

The flames jumped vigorously, the firewood crackled, and four people were sitting around the campfire.

Not to mention the Buddha with nine scars on his forehead, he now doesn’t behave as foolishly or aggressively as he did in front of the fortune teller.

Instead, he holds Buddhist beads in his hands and chants non-stop. The faint Buddhist sounds linger around, giving people a sacred and solemn feeling.

Next to him was a combination of a burly man and a dwarf, neither of whom seemed very smart.

But the strong man was really strong, with a sturdy build, and he was wearing a full set of iron armor, wrapping himself tightly.

Even with this thick iron armor, one must be a truly powerful master, otherwise it would be like scraping his skin.

The dwarf, who was as big as a baby of one or two years old, was sitting on a chair behind the strong man, shaving himself with a dagger.

The 'sizzling' sound of metal rubbing against skin makes one's scalp tingle.

The last man was a swordsman, holding two scimitars on each side, both of which were tied to the handles with chains and tied to his body.

He also had a bald head, but it was just shaved off, and there were tattoos on his face. I guess he was born a criminal.

He looked at people without any anger or emotion, as if he was dead, with a kind of eerie indifference.

Although the four of them were sitting around the campfire, they were obviously wary of each other and no one spoke, as if they were waiting for something.

Until a breeze blew by, causing the flames to spread wildly, and then a figure holding a sword appeared.

He looked quite old, with a hunched back, and it seemed that he trembled three times with every step he took, but there was a bell tied to the sword in his hand, which rang in the wind as he walked.

Jingle Bell!
Jingle Bell!
Looking at the four people now, they have all become alert, their bodies unconsciously tensed, and there is a bit of fear in their eyes as they look at the newcomers.

Buddha was the first to speak: "Blood, Blood Bell, how could it be you?"

"Since we have recruited a bunch of you, we need someone of sufficient weight to keep the order."

"So, I will command the following actions. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

The hunchbacked swordsman raised his head slightly, revealing his wrinkled face. He smiled warmly and his voice was also warm.

But after he finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time.
