Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chen Jie returned to the underground boxing ring lobby of Caesars Palace Casino Hotel and left in less than five minutes.

In the second 'Beast Battle', the ferocious beasts drawn by both sides greatly disappointed him.

One person drew a 'fox wolf', and the other drew an African wild dog.

Evenly matched!

Unfortunately, neither of these two wild animals was of any value to Chen Jie in observing.

not to mention,
After a fierce battle, both beasts were severely injured.

This 'fight of beasts' culminated in a fierce battle between two boxers.

Therefore, Chen Jie was certain that the entire 'Battle of the Trapped Beasts' draw was firmly controlled by the organizers.

In order to maximize their profits, they will manipulate the draw according to the preferences of boxing fans.

That is,

What do audiences like to watch? What do they like to bet on?

Then,

The organizers will then arrange the next draw.

Just like Chen Jie, who killed a Siberian tiger in the first round after entering the 'finals'.

In the upcoming round of 16 finals, he will face even more formidable beasts.

The reason is simple: the audience likes it.

of course,

Chen Jie didn't care about any of this.

He is confident in facing any serious challenge.

-

North America, Las Vegas, Caesars Palace Casino Hotel.

The penthouse presidential suite.

It's quiet at night.

The entire city of Las Vegas was brightly lit and magnificent.

This is a city that never sleeps, a place that makes people linger, and it exudes the smell of money at all times.

Chen Jie sat on the windowsill of the presidential suite, looking up at the Las Vegas night view.

this moment,
He didn't exude any domineering aura; instead, he was gentle and reserved.

Since his martial arts level broke through to 'Marrow Transformation and Power Transformation', his aura has undergone a great change.

He was sitting cross-legged on the windowsill, like an old monk in deep meditation.

Waaaaah—waaaah—!
A breeze blew in through the window, bringing a touch of coolness.

call!
Chen Jie slowly exhaled, completely concealing his aura.

His mind entered a state of clarity.

Everything around him, including the lights throughout the presidential suite, seemed to blend in with his presence.

He spent 100 million Martial Arts Merit Points to activate the resonance of the Martial Saint Sect.

hum!
"The primordial energy, long lingering and swirling, transformed into water, fire, and earth. The water surged from the summit of Kunlun, flowing into pits and craters in all directions—!"

A Zen-like sound exploded in his mind.

Vajra Kung Fu!
This is the "Diamond Skill" passed down by the Martial Saint Yan Kong.

Within his dantian, it was as if countless rivers were flowing, cleansing his eight extraordinary meridians.

A tearing sensation made him feel a throbbing pain throughout his body's meridians.

and,

As the Vajra Kung Fu was activated, Chen Jie felt as if his body was about to explode, like it was being inflated.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

"How could this be? Didn't Grand Eunuch Guan Shanyue open up my 'hidden acupoints'? How can I still feel a stagnation in my dantian?"

hiss--!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm himself down.

but,

Even with his advanced level of spiritual refinement, the "Late Stage of Guarding the Apertures," he couldn't stop practicing the Vajra Technique once he started.

My body felt as if all the meridians were being torn apart, causing unbearable swelling and pain.

boom--!
next moment,
Chen Jie began to circulate the "Thirteen Protectors Horizontal Training" mental technique, concentrating his mind and gathering his energy, immersing himself in the mental state, and getting rid of the pain.

have to say,

The "Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Training" is indeed a martial art with its merits.

When he combined the Vajra Kung Fu with the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training, the pain quickly subsided.

hum!
In an instant, his mind went blank and his consciousness entered a meditative state.

As the Vajra Skill and the Thirteen Protectors Horizontal Training merged and merged, he found that he no longer felt any pain.

The mind is empty of all four elements, devoid of delusion and form!
A state of meditation!
Heaven and earth are like a great melting pot, where consciousness unites and heaven and earth resonate!
Chen Jie himself didn't know how many times he had entered a meditative state, but he benefited greatly from each time he entered this state.

The state of meditation differs slightly from the sudden enlightenment in Taoism.

It emphasizes the concept of "emptiness of the four elements" and embodies a state of mind of "selflessness".

This is a secret method of the Buddhist Tantric sect, considered the only way to refine one's spirit.

boom!
At this moment, the Martial Saint Sect shook violently, generating waves of resonance.

【Martial Saint Sect】!
This is the core of Chen Jie's martial arts, the source of all strength.

He can freely travel between the two worlds and cultivate martial arts to become stronger. All of this is because the 'Blood Dragon Jade' manifested in the [Martial Saint Sect] in his mind.

but,

To resonate with the [Martial Saint Sect], besides specific conditions, one needs 100 million [Martial Arts Merit Points].

The moon wanes after it is full, and water overflows when it is full!
Ever since Guan Shanyue and Kou Yin, the two chief eunuchs, helped him open his 'hidden acupoints' and enabled him to break through to the 'Marrow Transformation and Power Transformation' level in martial arts.

Chen Jie felt as if he were in a state of spiritual refinement, about to break through to the 'fasting of the mind' at any moment.

really,

After activating the resonance of the [Martial Saint Sect].

His spiritual refinement was constantly increasing, and his spiritual perception was advancing by leaps and bounds, undergoing sublimation and transformation.

If someone were nearby at that moment, they would be able to clearly see the red light emanating from Chen Jie's body.

A red light enveloped him, just like when the [Martial Saint Gate] was opened.

He was enveloped in a red light, and everything around him seemed to disappear from his mind.

Entering samadhi without Zen!

The moment the red light enveloped him, Chen Jie naturally entered a state of 'meditation'.

His spiritual sense merged with that of the Martial Saint Sect, their consciousness resonating.

For a while,
He once again entered that mysterious state.

Next,
He felt as if he were floating in the air.

Under a sky full of stars, he once again entered the endless starry sky.

This is a manifestation of a state of consciousness, not a physical state.

Therefore,
Chen Jie entered the starry sky and could not feel his own physical condition.

His spiritual sense resonated with the Martial Saint Gate, and the situation was somewhat different from when he activated the Martial Saint Gate before.

Om-!
In an instant, he felt himself wandering in the starry sky, flying forward continuously.

This feeling isn't becoming increasingly unreal, but rather a sense of reality.

The starry sky seemed to draw ever closer to him.

He had experienced this several times and did not feel any discomfort.

At last,
As the starry sky draws near, you can see one statue after another.

Each statue actually represents a shining star.

The statues emanated various lights in the void, forming one after another orbs of light, which was awe-inspiring.

Chen Jie approached the clusters of light and touched them with his spiritual sense.

boom--!
As the ball of light exploded, it was as if a storm was sweeping around.

Next,
The clusters of light coalesced, completely enveloping him.

A moment later, the ball of light merged into his crown chakra, as if transforming into a pillar of light, and entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

at the same time,

The statue seemed to lose its light, began to dim, and finally slowly disappeared into the starry sky.

Chen Jie's spiritual sense manifested, and he looked up at the changing starry sky. Although he had expected it, he was still incredibly shocked.

The Legacy of the Martial Saint!

These statues all represent the legacy of the Martial Saint!
call--!
Looking at the starry sky, Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The legacy of the Martial Saint is the manifestation of the Martial Saint's will.

Their memories, martial arts heritage, and so on, have transformed into the shimmering starlight within the [Martial Saint Sect].

This is the sea of ​​consciousness formed from the martial arts of a martial saint's entire life.

Each statue represents the martial arts insights gained by each martial saint.

That is,

By absorbing a single ray of light, one can absorb the experience and insights of a martial arts master.

Under the starry sky, the endless treasures of the Martial Saint manifest as countless stars.

This is not the martial arts legacy of a single martial saint, but the imprint of countless martial saints.

Any martial saint who steps into the [Martial Saint Sect] will have their martial arts legacy imprinted under a sky full of stars.

Judging from the state presented by the [Martial Saint Sect], what immense power it possesses!
Martial Saint!

This is the highest realm of martial arts, reaching the level of shattering the void. It has already reached the point of disrupting the rules of the world, that is, possessing the power of 'breaking boundaries'.

Therefore,
Once the Martial Saint Gate is opened, one can feel the power of the changing rules of the world.

He freely traveled from the urban world to another world!
All of this is because of the power of the [Martial Saint].

call--!
Chen Jie looked up at the statue under the starry sky.

As the pillar of light above his head disappeared, it seemed as if his consciousness also vanished.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

For a while,
Chen Jie's consciousness entered the long river of time.

It could be a day, a year, or even a second!
He entered an extremely mysterious state, forgetting the passage of time.

Om-!
He didn't know how much time had passed before he slowly opened his eyes.

The red light disappeared from his body.

The light finally merged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

next moment,
His aura surged dramatically, exuding an overwhelming domineering presence.

Perhaps to the endless void, his aura was like the light of a firefly, insignificant.

but,

After he inherited one of the statues.

His consciousness manifested and completely merged with the entire void.

Waaaaah—waaaah—!
Amidst the starry sky, a sudden storm arose.

No, this is not a real storm, but a fluctuation of consciousness.

All the statues seemed to come alive.

but,

This is the void, a manifestation of the Martial Saint Sect. How could it possibly possess life?

All around, besides the vast emptiness, at the edge of the starlight, lay endless nothingness.

Chen Jie then merged one of the statues.

The surroundings that his consciousness manifested seemed to have become part of his sea of ​​consciousness.

He was like a blade of grass, constantly drawing upon everything around him, even the void.

As time went by, the grass began to grow and spread to the surrounding area.

Chen Jie felt that his mental strength was beginning to undergo a huge change.

Breakthrough in the Realm of Spirit Refinement!
Xinzhai!

A spiritual fast!
Neither listening nor thinking, one achieves a state of mental emptiness and stillness.

The key to Xinzai (a form of fasting) lies in 'emptiness'!
Emptiness upon emptiness, forgetting one's own existence—this is the highest level of mental cultivation in Taoism.

Fasting of the mind, fasting of the will, fasting of the eyes, fasting of the ears, fasting of the nose, fasting of the tongue!

These are the six fasting practices, with the fasting of the mind being the first of the six.

Listen not with your ears, but with your heart; listen not with your heart, but with your spirit.

The ear stops at hearing, the mind stops at symbolism.

Qi is that which is empty and awaits things.

Only the Dao gathers emptiness.

Emptiness is the fasting of the mind!
Chen Jie's consciousness was immersed in the state of 'ancient Zen'.

At this moment, his mental and willpower continued to improve and advanced by leaps and bounds.

After he integrated the pillars of light in his mind...

A consciousness manifested in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It is not a 'faith' imprinted in the sea of ​​consciousness, but a manifestation of spiritual power above the sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the inheritance of consciousness, a kind of memory.

For Chen Jie's willpower, this transmission of memory posed no danger.

Unconsciously,
The manifested memories appeared once more.

Martial Saint of the Void!

It is also a part of the memories passed down by the Martial Saint Yan Kong.

Om-!
As the beam of light dissipated, the mark of the Martial Saint Yan Kong merged into Chen Jie's mind.

at the same time,

As the surrounding storm subsided, Chen Jie felt that his sea of ​​consciousness had become much larger.

boom!
In an instant, beneath the countless stars in the entire void.

An indescribable force repelled Chen Jie's consciousness.

next moment,
Chen Jie slightly opened his eyes, his consciousness returning.

He took a deep breath and looked up at the Las Vegas night sky.

The legacy of the Martial Saint Yan Kong!
Chen Jie recalled the benefits he had gained in the void of the [Martial Saint Sect].

He had experience with what had just happened and knew that he had received an extraordinary martial arts inheritance.

Prajna Zen Palm!
quickly,

He knew that by absorbing the Martial Saint's legacy statue, he had obtained a martial art called "Prajna Zen Palm"!
The first and most authentic Shaolin palm strike!
hiss--!
Chen Jie was incredibly excited and closed his eyes slightly.

Half an hour later,

He opened his eyes again, his heart filled with excitement.

This is a secret technique passed down in the Shaolin Prajna Hall, a martial arts masterpiece that rivals even the Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Training.

The Number One Palm Technique in the World!
Before this, Chen Jie had talked to Kou Yin about the Imperial Armory and learned that when the Imperial Armory obtained the martial arts from the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion, half of the Prajna Palm manual had been lost long ago.

Therefore,
Even the Great Qian Dynasty's imperial armory did not have a complete "Prajna Zen Palm" manual!
This martial art, known as the number one palm technique in the world, only has the first half. Anyone who practices this martial art will find it very difficult to break through to the Blood-Moving Pill Force realm.

but,

In the martial arts lineage of the Martial Saint Sect, Chen Jie obtained the complete Prajna Zen Palm.

Once this martial art is mastered, it can break the shackles of human martial arts and allow one to reach the realm of a martial saint.

Martial arts techniques that can leave imprints at the Martial Saint Sect are usually of extremely high level, representing the pinnacle of martial arts that can be cultivated to the level of a Martial Saint.

Last time, Chen Jie obtained the complete version of "Diamond Kung Fu"!
Unexpectedly, this time, I actually obtained the "Prajna Zen Palm".

of course,

Compared to receiving the martial arts inheritance, what Chen Jie truly felt was his breakthrough in the Refining Spirit Realm once again.

in addition,

The Prajna Palm is an offensive martial art.

He now possesses three martial arts masterpieces.

Internal energy cultivation method "Diamond Skill", the number one palm technique in the world "Prajna Zen Palm", and the invincible golden body "Thirteen Protectors Horizontal Training"!
These are three supreme martial arts techniques that can be cultivated to the level of Martial Saint.

Chen Jie studied it carefully for a moment, feeling deeply shocked and moved.

hum!
His aura surged once again at this moment.

breakthrough!

Mid-stage of Marrow Transformation and Power Enhancement!

The benefits of opening up the 'hidden passages' are fully demonstrated at this moment.

To Chen Jie's surprise, shortly after he broke through to the early stage of Yi Sui Hua Jin, obtaining the inheritance of "Prajna Zen Palm" allowed his martial arts realm to break through again.

The internal energy of the Vajra Skill in his dantian actually merged with the Prajna Palm he had just practiced.

The three martial arts techniques complement each other and are integrated into one.

Just as his martial arts power level broke through to the mid-stage of Yi Sui Hua Jin.

Unexpectedly, the surging internal energy still had reserves, and it surged wildly towards the eight extraordinary meridians once again.

boom--!
Breakthrough again!

Late stage of Marrow Transformation and Strength Enhancement!

In less than half an hour, his martial arts power level actually broke through from the early stage of Yi Sui Hua Jin to the late stage!
Accumulate and make progress!

Last time, Guan Shanyue used his internal energy at the 'Tongmai Gangjin' level to help him open the 'hidden acupoints'.

This time, he obtained the Martial Saint's inheritance, "Prajna Zen Palm," and with one burst of energy, he actually broke through to the late stage of "Marrow Transformation and Power Transformation"!
Next,
Chen Jie's mind was clear, and he entered a state of oneness with nature.

The spiritual senses that had just broken through the initial stage of the Mind Refinement realm spread outwards.

Colorless, formless, infinite, endless, fearless, limitless!
boom!
His internal organs, bones, muscles, blood, and even everything inside his body were condensed and manifested in his consciousness.

This is a transformation from the realm of spiritual refinement, a sublimation of spiritual power, and an enhancement of spiritual perception.

Immediately afterwards, his spiritual senses spread out into the distance!

Five hundred meters!
Eight hundred meters!
-

One thousand meters!

1100 meters!

-

1,400 meters!

One thousand five hundred meters!

hum!
Finally, after his Spirit Refining Realm broke through to the 'early stage of Heart Fasting', the distance he could detect and sense reached 1,500 meters!

At the late stage of the 'Guarding the Aperture' realm, Chen Jie's spiritual perception range was 800 meters.

I never expected that breaking through to the 'early stage of Xinzhai' would result in such a significant improvement.

have to say,

The spiritual power of the Mind Fasting Realm is far stronger than that of the Guarding Aperture Realm. (End of Chapter)
