Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 228: Spiritual Refining Breakthrough! 'Inner Vision' Mastery

Cangzhou City, Qingfeng Villa.

This is neither an inn nor a government property.

Cao Gang's young leader Yang Yankang's guess was correct. Ximen Tang's leader Chen Jie was indeed secretly protected by a master from the Imperial Palace!
The Chief of the Imperial Household Department—Cao Shaoqing!

A strong man with strong meridian power!
To all the factions in the martial arts world, Cao Shaoqing's martial arts skills make him invincible!

To know,
Yang Xihe, the leader of the Cao Gang, is a top-notch martial artist in the martial arts world.

but,

Yang Xihe was just a 'Blood Moving Pill Power' expert, one level lower than Cao Shaoqing.

Although the emperor was very wary of Ximen Tang.

However, the foreign enemies had not yet been driven out of Daqian, the Eastern fleet was still blockading the sea, and the Western fleet was stationed in Dongying, Shandong.

Chen Jie, the head of Ximen Hall, must not get into trouble!

During this critical period, Ximen Hall must not be in chaos.

Ever since the last time Chen Jie was assassinated by a Japanese ninja in the camp in the capital.

Cao Shaoqing, one of the three most powerful men in the Imperial Household Department, received a secret order from the emperor to secretly protect Chen Jie's safety.

at this time,

A drizzle started falling from the sky and the cold wind blew into the house, mixed with the strong atmosphere of the Spring Festival, making people feel comfortable.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Daqian calendar is Little New Year!
The drizzle in the cold winter in the north is completely different from the rainy season that Chen Jie experienced in the south.

The wind and rain were mixed with a sharp chill like a knife.

The eighth sister stayed with Chen Jie for three days before returning to the capital.

Accompanying the eighth sister were twenty personal guards.

Qingfeng Courtyard is the private property of Eunuch Cao.

What Chen Jie didn't expect was that the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department was actually from Cangzhou.

This Qingfeng Courtyard is very quiet. Normally, there is a special person to clean it, and it is very spacious inside.

The villa has three floors in total. Open the window on the third floor and look into the distance. You can have an unobstructed view and just see the Cangzhou Canal Transport Wharf five kilometers away.

but,

Chen Jie's mind was not on the drizzle outside the window, nor on the atmosphere of the New Year.

He stayed in Qingfeng Villa for three days and learned martial arts from Eunuch Cao for three days.

at this time,

In his mind, he kept recalling the scene of fighting with the Oriental ninja when he was assassinated last time.

And the moment when the last Oriental ninja was hit by his own gun skills.

He did not feel any regret for killing an Oriental ninja with a gun, but a trace of confusion suddenly arose in his mind.

How should we choose between the firearms of firearms and the practice of martial arts?
Ever since his martial arts skills broke through to the Bronze Skin Ming Jin realm, he himself had experience of fighting against top killers.

Last time in Yangon, Myanmar, he fought one against two and killed two of Japan's top fighters.

After leaving the underground boxing ring hall, he was chased by Silver Fox, one of the top ten killers in the world, on the road.

At last,
Relying on his super-strong spiritual realm, he killed the Silver Fox.

By combining the mental power of the realm of spirit refining with the power of martial arts, it can unleash strength, speed, crisis prediction, agility, etc. that surpass ordinary people.

Killing one of the world's top killers gave Chen Jie an indescribable sense of pride.

And in the Ximen Hall headquarters camp in the 'other world'.

Chen Jie also frequently practices shooting.

He not only practiced with pistols, but also with assault rifles and sniper rifles.

He even specially got some of the top jungle training videos of domestic special forces, and practiced hard according to the training courses.

With his current marksmanship, he is definitely better than the top special forces soldier.

Gradually,
He began to feel a little lazy about his martial arts training.

In the face of hot weapons, the combat effectiveness of martial arts is almost useless.

but,

After feeling the level of Eunuch Cao's martial arts, Chen Jie suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Although Eunuch Cao was not his enemy, he could even be considered his mentor!

But Chen Jie had simulated this situation many times in his mind, and realized that with his own strength, he wouldn't even have the chance to fire a gun in front of Eunuch Cao.

"A martial arts master who has achieved a breakthrough to the level of Yi Sui Hua Jin is completely useless in front of my assault rifle!"

"But if it's an ordinary person, even if he has an assault rifle, it's hard to kill an Iron-Bone Dark Power expert!"

"The reason for all this is that I have broken through to the 'Inner Vision' stage in my Spirit Refining Realm!"

"As long as the opponent's Spirit Refining Realm isn't too far ahead of mine, I can predict his movement direction, so he won't be able to avoid my bullets."

"But if my opponent's spiritual realm is higher than mine by one major realm, how should I deal with it?"

"It has been quite some time since I broke through to the 'Inner Vision' realm in my Spirit Refining Realm. Recently, I have been practicing with the 'Soul-Fixing Incense' to enter a meditative state."

"But my mental strength seems to have reached a bottleneck and cannot go any further. How can I break through?"

Chen Jie has been practicing with the Soul-Fixing Incense recently and feels that his mental strength is improving more and more slowly.

In the hall on the third floor of Qingfeng Courtyard, Eunuch Cao was seen holding a carving knife in his hand.

In front of him was a block of marble.

The carving knife in his hand was carving on the stone with great speed.

Stone chips fell and scattered around.

He was very focused, and it seemed that his entire mind was immersed in the state of carving.

When Chen Jie saw Eunuch Cao carving, he suddenly thought of the old professors in the university laboratories who were concentrating on doing chemistry experiments.

Looks cautious, but actually does what he wants.

He was so familiar with every step as if it were engraved in his bones that he could carve out what he had in mind almost with his eyes closed.

but,

When Eunuch Cao was carving, his movements seemed very strange.

He stood with his feet in a false step, one hand holding the marble and the other holding the carving knife.

Move with your wrist suspended and let your mind follow the movement of the knife.

It's just like writing, flowing smoothly.

The whole person's spirit is concentrated on the blade of the carving knife.

The knife is as sharp as a god!
Every time he carved a carve, he gathered his energy and spirit together, as if the force of the knife was driving everything around him.

Chen Jie stood aside, completely stunned.

He held his breath and did not disturb Eunuch Cao.

this moment,
Chen Jie could sense that this was a method of practicing martial arts that Eunuch Cao used carving as a medium.

Calm your mind, calm your breath, calm your heart——!
Sculpture!

It can not only temper your own state of mind.

At the same time, coordinating with martial arts can allow the state of spiritual refining and strength to be integrated, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

"Mr. Chen, are you still thinking about the issue of spiritual cultivation and the realm of martial arts power development?"

Eunuch Cao stared intently at the marble he was carving, his eyes never leaving his carving knife.

He said calmly: "The fusion of the realm of spiritual cultivation and the realm of martial arts power generation is originally the most difficult thing in martial arts."

"It's easy to train your strength, but it's hard to understand your state of mind! Especially after you break through to the state of inner vision, it will become increasingly difficult to temper your state of mind!"

"Your martial arts level is not high, but you have a very strong talent for spiritual cultivation!"

"In fact, extreme training, which consumes one's physical strength to the limit, can also achieve the purpose of 'resting the mind'!"

"The depletion and recovery of mental strength is actually a way to stimulate potential."

Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this.

Ever since he started practicing martial arts, he has always maintained abundant physical strength.

Whether it's in the ring or fighting a life-and-death battle with an opponent.

Or use the opponent's heavy blows to hone your "Thirteen Guardians Horizontal Training".

He has never challenged the peak of his physical strength, and even he himself doesn't know where his limits are.
On the stage,
When he first started fighting with others, he always used the thunder-strike style.

Fast, accurate and ruthless!
As long as he seizes the opportunity to kill, he will instantly unleash his killing move and kill the opponent in one stroke.

In general,

In a life-and-death battle in the ring, situations that require exhausting all physical strength rarely occur.

Even if the strength of both sides is very close, it is impossible for them to fight with all their strength like in professional boxing.

The stronger the strength, the shorter the duel in the life and death arena will be.

Any expert has the power to kill with one strike.

Life and death are in a split second; it is impossible to fight a protracted war.

Even for brothers who often train together and are equally matched, it is impossible for them to train in the life-and-death arena like they usually do.

Any slight gap can have serious consequences.

Unless you are like Chen Jie, whose strength is much greater than that of his opponent and who has been honing his martial arts in the ring, the fight will last a long time. "Mr. Chen, you have not practiced martial arts for a long time and have not had enough time to settle down!"

“Although the realm of soul refinement has broken through to the realm of inner vision, I am unable to comprehend the path of nirvana of inner vision!”

Eunuch Cao put down the carving knife in his hand and looked up at Chen Jie.

He smiled and continued:
"Your current martial arts power development level has broken through to the middle stage of bronze skin bright power, and the clumsy power conversion has entered the third stage. With one punch, you have the strength of an ox!"

"When you punch with all your strength, you can deliver a force exceeding a thousand pounds."

"However, this is just your explosive power, and it cannot last long. For ordinary warriors, this is just a stage of increasing strength!"

"Once you can comprehend the Way of Nirvana of Refining the Soul and Inner Vision, you will enter the Great Perfection of Inner Vision, and your strength will enter the third stage of the peak of exchanging clumsy strength for strength, which is the Great Perfection of Bright Strength!"

finished,

He smiled and handed the carved marble to Chen Jie, saying:
"I just carved a figurine, take a look—!"

Chen Jie took the carved ornament in his hand and looked at it.

hiss--!
The next moment, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although the carved ornaments look very ordinary.

but,

The lines give people an indescribable sense of impact, and the oncoming murderous intent is contained in every stroke of the knife.

Some blades are curved, and some are sharp.

Sometimes it is majestic, sometimes it is fierce and vicious, sometimes it is ethereal and uncertain, and sometimes it flows like clouds and water -!
This is not an ordinary carving, but it contains the artistic conception of knife skills!

It was not until this moment that Chen Jie realized that Eunuch Cao was proficient in more than just the cotton palm.

His main martial art is - sword!

That's right,

From the carved ornaments, Chen Jie can feel the artistic conception of the knife technique.

A sword in heaven and earth!

The artistic conception of the swordsmanship filled his mind.

Although Chen Jie didn't know what this carved ornament was, the murderous aura contained in it made him tremble.

"What kind of ornament is this?"

Chen Jie observed the ornaments and carefully felt the knife's intention.

Next,
He turned the ornament over and discovered that it was a sculpture of a human figure.

The characters are lifelike, as if they have spirituality.

This was clearly Cao Shaoqing's sword intention, penetrating right through the carved stone statue.

"Guan Gong, the Martial Saint! The sword intent permeates every cut of the knife. What a domineering sword technique!"

"Eunuch Cao, I always thought you were good at cotton boxing, but I didn't expect your sword skills to be even better!"

"It is said that the Imperial Guards' instructor Qi Changfeng is the best swordsman in the Imperial City, and his swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle!"

"I wonder how Eunuch Cao's swordsmanship compares to Qi Changfeng's?"

Chen Jie took a deep breath and said.

Eunuch Cao smiled calmly and replied casually: "Qi Changfeng? He is my disciple!"

"what?"

Chen Jie was stunned.

"What you need to comprehend is not the artistic conception of swordsmanship, but the fusion of its spirit and strength!"

"When I was carving the Martial Saint, the carving knife in my hand contained three kinds of martial arts conceptions!"

"If you cannot integrate your martial arts into your moves, all your boxing moves will be just show."

Eunuch Cao smiled and said, "Take a look at this for reference. This is what I have learned from practicing martial arts over the years!"

"I was able to move from the realm of inner vision to the realm of guarding the acupoints because of carving to nourish the spirit!"

finished,

He continued to instruct Chen Jie:

"Carving to nourish the soul, this is the most advanced method of refining the soul in the palace. You have practiced the Vajra Skill, and with the help of the Soul-Fixing Incense, it should have a very good effect!"

Chen Jie opened his eyes wide and said:
"But I don't know how to carve? I've never learned how to carve!"

"I have never had any interest in calligraphy or carving. Should I start learning now?"

Eunuch Cao laughed and said:

"I didn't ask you to learn sculpture, I just wanted you to understand a truth!"

"A thousand punches converge into one path. If one path is open, then a hundred paths will be open! If you want to comprehend the method of refining the spirit, the most important thing you need is concentration!"

"The essence of martial arts is not in martial arts books, but in personal understanding!"

"Why do different people get different results from practicing the same martial arts book?"

"Why is there such a difference in strength between disciples taught by the same master?"

"Take a good look at this statue of the Martial Saint that I just carved. I hope you can gain some insights!"

finished,

He lit a soul-calming incense stick.

Chen Jie's eyes were fixed on the 'Martial Saint Statue' in his hand!
After a while, with the help of the soul-calming incense, he entered a meditative state and his mind became clear.

Everything around him seemed to disappear from his mind.

Heaven and man are one!

Epiphany!

That’s right, this is the Taoist state of enlightenment!
Chen Jie had two such experiences. The first time was when he was practicing in front of Yan Kuangtu. He suddenly entered the state of "enlightenment" and broke through to the late stage of "Shou Yi".

The second time was when he entered a state of 'meditation' with the help of Linghu Qiannian's 'Golden Needle Acupuncture'.

This time, the state of enlightenment was very similar to the previous one.

The 'Martial Saint Sect' in his mind was suddenly touched and resonated with his mind!
It is clear,
The rapid progress of his 'Spirit Refining Realm' was closely related to the 'Martial Saint Gate' in his mind.

As long as under certain conditions, the 'Martial Saint Gate' is touched and causes a resonance in the mind.

Then,

His state of spiritual cultivation will undergo another transformation, and his state of mind will be sublimated.

Cao Shaoqing looked up at Chen Jie who had entered the state of 'enlightenment', and a smile appeared on his face.

"He is indeed a genius in spiritual cultivation. After being stimulated by the sword's will, he can actually enter the state of 'enlightenment'!"

Compared to Linghu Qiannian and Yan Kuangtu, Eunuch Cao did not seem surprised by Chen Jie's entry into the state of 'enlightenment'.

To know,
Eunuch Cao's martial arts realm had long since broken through the shackles and reached the Tongmai Gangjin realm. He was no stranger to entering the state of 'enlightenment'.

If a warrior cannot enter into 'sudden enlightenment' or 'meditation', it will be very difficult for him to break through to Dan Jin.

at this time,

Chen Jie was immersed in a state of 'enlightenment'.

The "Choking Foot", "Iron Arm Fist", "Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training", "Mighty Vajra Fist" and "Eagle Claw Kung Fu" that he practiced were actually integrated with the internal martial arts "Vajra Kung Fu".

Then,

His state of spiritual refinement seemed to have torn open a barrier, and his entire soul was baptized.

An hour later.

call--!
Chen Jie slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining!
Om-!
The range of his sixth sense of crisis continued to spread and extend outward at this moment!

Forty-five meters!

Fifty meters!
-

Seventy-five meters!

-

One hundred meters!

One hundred and ten meters!

One hundred and twenty meters!

It's the limit!
"Spiritual Refining Breakthrough! Inner Vision Mastery, Not Bad!"

"You are indeed a martial arts genius. You have already achieved the state of inner vision at the age of 23!"

A smile appeared on Eunuch Cao's face. He looked at Chen Jie as if he was looking at his own disciple, and felt relieved.

"Mr. Chen, you were born for martial arts!"

"I can actually enter the state of 'sudden enlightenment' under the stimulation of the sword's will!"

"In terms of spiritual talent, you are better than me!"

"I received a secret report from the capital today and I have to go back to the palace. I will leave in the afternoon."

"You will live in this villa for the time being!"

"The Jianghu is not peaceful, you should go back soon. According to the military intelligence department in the capital, the Japanese Black Dragon Society is making moves recently, so you must be careful!"
