Eternal Night

Chapter 168 Ascending to Heaven

"So far, we have been in this dream world for a month. The curtain is only 7% damaged, and the redemption rate seems to be increasing every month. It has reached 11% so far. This is a cause for celebration. This is the credit of all of us!"

On the big screen, Gao Changgong made a summary speech. Naturally, there was sparse applause from the audience, but Gao Changgong was not annoyed. He smiled happily.

This was followed by speeches from several major regions or people who currently hold important cadre positions within the organization, who roughly summarized the lessons learned from some of the Curtain's weaknesses, as well as some suggestions for improvement.

After Wu Xianxiao brought Lin Nianzhi and Zhou Qingqing back to Wang Yihui's base, Zhou Qingqing said she had to deal with some personal affairs and disappeared for half a month. During this period, Wu Xianxiao went on two missions and participated in six exposure variety shows. At the same time, the film company founded by Wang Yihui was officially opened. As soon as the registration was completed, a mysterious group of lawyers came directly and handed over a super big gold ticket.

"The total investment is 110 billion, and the shares are 49%. The requirement is to be the heroine of this movie and have a scene opposite the male lead... Bring money into the production."

There is no doubt that this was Zhou Qingqing's work. Although no one knows what she was doing during the half month she disappeared, there is no doubt that her backstage forces have begun to exert their strength. Even in the Human Freedom Federation, Wang Yihui's film company has received the green light all the way, and the official almost said that everything is OK.

Apart from this, the past half month was just an ordinary day. Wu Xianxiao ate, slept, practiced boxing, walked the dog, and played with birds. He was really comfortable living this kind of life. In the words of others, he could endure loneliness, or maybe his mind was pure. During this half month, his Dan Jin was also purified a little.

This is the benefit of sparring with masters.

If he were to practice on his own, it would probably take him a year or two to realize the path to purification. However, Zhou Qingqing was a martial arts grandmaster, and his martial arts level was several points higher than his. After this fight, his martial arts level also exploded.

In just fifteen days, he at least achieved the results of half a year of hard training.

After entering Dan Jin, if Chinese martial arts want to continue to improve, what is needed is purification, and the whole body's Qi will be purified again and again, so that this golden elixir is flawless, golden, and round, and there is tremendous power between movement and stillness. When it reaches the first step, holding the elixir and sitting across it, it reaches the limit. It can be said that it is as quiet as a virgin and as fast as thunder. The whole body is full of Qi. As the saying goes, complacency leads to overflow. The Qi will naturally fill from the body to three inches outside the body, and this is Gang Qi!
Regarding this key point, if Wu Xianxiao practiced hard, it would probably take at least more than a year for him to realize it. And this is with the help of the main brain's personal information digitization template, which can clearly sense the effect of each exercise and boxing. It is possible to realize it within a year. If not, other people may never realize it in their lifetime.

This is the reason why it is said that true transmission can be conveyed in one sentence, while false transmission requires thousands of books.

During this half month, in addition to the hundreds of maintenance teams and maintenance squads contacting and forming alliances, there was also the matter of establishing a special operations team with Wu Xianxiao as the core.

Among all the weak points of the curtain, the easiest ones to solve are actually puzzles, rules, and information.

This kind of weirdness seems to be difficult, and plot kills often appear, but as long as they are cracked in a targeted manner and a group of smart people participate, the difficulty will drop sharply. For example, Wang Yihui solved the weak point of the curtain in the old mountain village on the island in just one day. He burned and hung several witchcraft props hidden in the village, and the entire weak point of the curtain was immediately declared dead.

This is completely different from Wu Xianxiao's thinking. In his opinion, these weak points in the curtain are the key to success, but in fact it is completely the opposite.

There are many talented people, even geniuses, among the maintenance personnel. Most of them cannot practice martial arts due to the problem of pollution resistance, at least they cannot do so before improving their basic attributes. Therefore, their strength is poor, but their brains are not bad. Four people like Wang Yihui appeared one after another, and they easily solved various puzzle-solving, rule-based, and information-based weak points of the curtain.

On the contrary, if there is a weak point in the curtain that requires hard fighting, be it monsters, ghosts, or some strange creatures, they will be killed if they go in.

But this is what Wu Xianxiao is good at.

He really likes these kinds of missions with clear goals, such as killing XXX, bringing XXX's head to him, destroying XXX, etc. It can't be more refreshing, right?
However, Wu Xianxiao is only one person after all. It is not a problem if the curtain is less damaged now. But if the curtain is continuously damaged and more terrifying enemies appear later, such as goats like those in the Black Forest, and several of them appear at once, even Wu Xianxiao will find it difficult to deal with them. Moreover, if he is defeated, there will be no one else who can replace him.

So in the past two days, Wang Yihui and many maintenance teams began to discuss the formation of a special operations team with Wu Xianxiao as the core.

Then when the team was still preparing to set up, Zhou Qingqing came back.

"Mr. Wu, please follow me." Zhou Qingqing ignored the others and spoke directly to Wu Xianxiao after knocking on the door.

A small emerald green bird flew straight over and landed on Wu Xianxun's shoulder, pecking at his earlobe.

Zhou Qingqing looked at the little bird in confusion. As a grandmaster who had achieved the highest level of Dan, she felt an inexplicable hostility, but she didn't know where the hostility came from.

Wu Xianxiao thought Zhou Qingqing wanted him to go out and talk, so he walked out of the room directly, but he found a car parked outside. Obviously, Zhou Qingqing didn't mean to talk outside?

However, Wu Xianxiao naturally couldn't lose, so he proudly got into the car, and Zhou Qingqing sat beside him with a smile.

After the car started, Zhou Qingqing said softly, "I have been in seclusion for the past ten days... There is indeed great fear between life and death, but once you get through this great fear, it is like you have gained enlightenment on the path of cultivation, you see."

As she spoke, Zhou Qingqing stretched out a hand. Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately stretched out his hand to Zhou Qingqing's arm, and the bird on his shoulder pecked even harder.

The two palms were about to touch, but Wu Xianxiao's palm stopped an inch away from Zhou Qingqing's palm. An invisible and tangible layer of something like cotton prevented him from moving closer.

"Gang Qi!?" Wu Xianxiao said in shock: "You have entered the Gang Jin?"

Zhou Qingqing smiled with some pride and complacency and said, "After all, it is not the result of my hard practice. Although I have had an epiphany, it is only half a step forward. The rest requires much more hard work."

Wu Xianxiao admired and said: "That is undoubtedly Gang Jin. Congratulations!"

When the Qi hits three inches, it is called Gang Jin. From this step on, Chinese martial arts have left the mortal body and truly show some extraordinary and mysterious aspects.

If the person holding the elixir and sitting across the sky is a deity, then the level of Gang Jin is like a truly otherworldly immortal.

Zhou Qingqing's face was full of joy, but she quickly suppressed it and said, "It's all thanks to Mr. Wu. He saved my life and helped me break through the confusion of this world. If Mr. Wu is willing, I can tell him all my insights from the past ten days." "Can I?" Wu Xianxiao asked in surprise.

Zhou Qingqing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why not? And from what I've seen, Mr. Wu doesn't seem to have any mental training techniques?"

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say that the Tiger Demon Art itself contained content for training the mind, but then he changed his mind and thought that rather than training the mind, the Tiger Demon Art was more like teaching people to go astray. The fundamental reason why he was able to develop the sleepless aura might be related to his super brain and the iteration of his self for who knows how many years.

So he shook his head.

Zhou Qingqing nodded in understanding and said, "When I fought Wu Jun, I found that Wu Jun's Dan Jin was not pure, and at the same time, the blood evil energy was extremely strong, which was really not good for martial arts practice. However, Wu Jun is a genius, a man from heaven, but he just lacks a set of mind training methods. If he had it, it would be of great benefit to Wu Jun."

Wu Xianxiao naturally knew this. There was also a long section in the Tiger Demon Skill that talked about the issue of mind training.

Most of these techniques do not actually increase combat effectiveness, but they can greatly suppress the negative inner demons, or speed up the practice of martial arts. They also have various mysterious benefits that cannot be described one by one. If you calm your mind, concentrate, and meditate, and practice to a deep level, you may even be able to gain enlightenment to the legendary method of "the cicada senses the coming of autumn before the wind blows."

However, this mind-training technique is extremely rare. Any formal, systematic mind-training technique is a treasure, far superior to the Tiger Demon Skill he obtained. If we make a comparison, the mind-training technique is like the god-level Nine Yang Divine Art, while the Tiger Demon Skill is like the Iron Shirt and Eighteen Falls of the Touching Clothes.

Zhou Qingqing smiled sweetly again.

She was already extremely beautiful, and after she sat on his lap, even the pores on her face seemed to have disappeared, her skin was crystal clear, like white jade, and her appearance was like a virgin in her twenties. Her every frown and smile was full of charm, and when she smiled at this moment, the whole carriage seemed to be sparkling with light.

Even Jiujiu was stunned.

Zhou Qingqing said, "Since this is the case, I have no way to repay Mr. Wu's kindness. How about I teach Mr. Wu a set of mind training techniques today?"

"The name of the skill is Ascending to Heaven."

Two hours later, in a mansion, five middle-aged and elderly people and two young people were getting impatient waiting.

According to the route, Zhou Qingqing should have arrived two hours ago, but they waited for three hours and still she wasn't there, which really made them feel strange.

After asking, I found out that Zhou Qingqing's car had been parked in the garage an hour ago, but she hadn't entered the house for an hour.

"Could it be that my junior sister and that man are in the garage..." a beautiful middle-aged woman said in surprise.

The five old men immediately glared at her.

The beautiful middle-aged woman immediately covered her mouth, while the other young man, a handsome man, immediately turned pale.

The five old men were also grumbling in their hearts. Although they were all Zhou Qingqing's elders and naturally knew that Zhou Qingqing couldn't be so unbearable, but for more than an hour, in such a small place like the garage...

The five old men stood up at the same time and walked quickly towards the garage. The young and handsome man followed closely behind them, and the beautiful woman also followed with her eyes rolling.

The seven people walked quickly into the garage, and saw Zhou Qingqing guarding the car door.

The seven people were puzzled and were about to speak, but at this moment Zhou Qingqing suddenly looked at them sternly and made a gesture to tell them not to speak.

The seven people were even more puzzled. They walked quietly to the car door and looked inside. They actually saw Wu Xianxiao sitting in meditation with his five hearts facing the sky.

“This... Ascension to Heaven? You actually taught him how to Ascension to Heaven!?” the young man immediately shouted.

With just this move, Wu Xianxiao's body trembled slightly. Zhou Qingqing's face changed, and without saying a word, she took a side step towards the handsome man, holding a dragon in one hand and a snake in the other, and attacked him directly.

The handsome man wanted to speak louder, but facing this move, he couldn't utter a word. He moved his feet and retreated ten meters in embarrassment. Zhou Qingqing was about to pounce on him again, but suddenly there was a bright light behind her. She immediately turned her head in surprise.

Everyone saw a thumb-sized ball of light emerging from the center of Wu Xianxiao's forehead. They were all filled with horror, but the horror was not over yet. The ball of light actually split into two, becoming two identical thumb-sized spheres.

“Yuan, Yuan, Yuan Shen!?”

"Can I really cultivate my primordial spirit by ascending to heaven?!"

"Master, have you seen this from your spirit in heaven? There is a way!"

"But...why are there two souls?"

For a moment, the five old men were howling like ghosts, crying, shouting and jumping.
