The world is like a prison, my body is holy

Chapter 130 Innate Realm

After regaining his composure, Wang Wen paced back and forth restlessly within the construction site of the General's Mansion.

However, he lingered for a long time without receiving any merit or virtue points.

This made him realize that the lightning bolt had probably not killed the terrifying monster.

He was somewhat worried about the situation of Master Hunkun and the others, but he was powerless to help them.

We can only hope that they will be blessed with good fortune and overcome this difficulty...

At that moment, he had no interest in inspecting the progress of the project and hurriedly went home.

A moment later, Wang Wen returned to the Qinghe Gang.

He ordered Hei Erniu to protect him outside, then went into his bedroom, closed the door, and summoned the Mountain God's Decree.

Just see:

[The God of Huangshan (Manifesting Holy Righteousness, Courage, Martial Might, and Spiritual Power)]

[Achievements: 683285]

[Yin De: 16.6]

Merit: 5281

[Yin Shen: Daytime Wanderer]

【Shrine: Huangshan Temple】

[Hundred Schools: Taiyi Salvation and Protection Scripture (Fourth Heaven) (+), Boundless Ocean Divine Skill (Eighth Heaven) (+), Lightning Thunder Fist (Third Heaven) (+), Palm Thunder (Perfect), Six Harmonies Spear (Divine Mastery)...]

I've already tested it. Merit and good deeds, like hidden virtues, can be used as hard currency with the Heavenly Lord. Please ask the Heavenly Lord to buff him.

'A huge loss of 500 points...'

He muttered a pang of regret, thinking to himself that if he had known the situation on Master Hunkun's side was so dire, he would have leveled up the Lightning Thunder Fist skill earlier.

Every time he chants incantations to ask the Heavenly Lord to help him slay demons and monsters, he is asking the Heavenly Lord to enhance the power of his own thunder magic, rather than simply using his good karma to ask the Heavenly Lord to send down heavenly lightning to cleanse the earth.

There is a difference between the two.

The former's limit is the upper limit of his understanding of lightning magic. He cannot perform lightning magic that he himself cannot understand... even with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao.

The latter's limit can be said to be the limit of his accumulated good karma and merits, or the limit of his importance in the heart of the Heavenly Lord.

In short, if he were to purely expend his good karma and merits to ask the Heavenly Lord to send down heavenly lightning to cleanse the earth, that lightning strike could be "merit -5281" or "merit -10000", turning it into a negative number for him.

Therefore, if he had increased the number of hits in the Lightning Thunder Fist earlier, he could have greatly enhanced the power of the thunder magic after being blessed by the Heavenly Dao.

The reason he hasn't improved his three main cultivation techniques since he returned is because he's adjusting his state and preparing to unleash a major breakthrough.

Then, I will advance from the eighth to the ninth level of the Boundless Ocean Divine Skill and break through to the Innate Realm in martial arts!
His latest updated cultivation path plan is to use physical training to control martial arts, similar to Erlang Shen Yang Jian's "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts". It is a method of body refinement, a method of becoming an immortal, and also includes many transformation techniques.

The core of his planned route is the profound martial art of "Lightning Thunder Fist," which combines martial arts and physical techniques.

This cultivation method follows the path of refining the body with thunder magic. Upon mastering it, one can achieve the Thunder Spirit Embryo and ascend to the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court.

Wang Wen was worried that the Thunder Technique was too domineering and might destroy the martial arts true energy he had worked so hard to cultivate. Therefore, he planned to first cultivate the Boundless Ocean Divine Art to the Innate Realm, and then try to obtain a more advanced martial arts body-refining method to advance alongside the Lightning Thunder Fist.

Only in this way can he hope to realize his ambition of mastering martial arts with his body honed through physical training!
As for why he insists on using his physical body to control martial arts, instead of simply focusing on the "Lightning Thunder Fist" and directly condensing the Thunder Spirit Embryo?

There are many reasons...

Firstly, he was a registered Earthly Deity with the Heavenly Dao Elders, and he couldn't imagine what kind of opportunity would allow him to escape Earthly Deity status and ascend to the Heavenly Court, which didn't even exist yet... In short, it was a dead end.

Secondly, his soul had already cultivated into a Yin God, and the Yin God is the path of the Ghost Immortal. This path is almost irreversible, just like a person who dies cannot be brought back to life. Although the Ghost Immortal is called an immortal, he is the lowest of the immortals, and his subsequent cultivation path is cut off. Once you are a Ghost Immortal, you will be a Ghost Immortal for life. Within the Xuantan, there is even a contemptuous comment such as "Ghost Immortal is called an immortal, but in reality, he is a ghost".

Wang Wen did not regret taking the shortcut back then, directly embarking on the path of a ghost immortal through the ghost messenger's token.

If he hadn't taken the shortcut, he might have been gone long ago...

But he certainly wouldn't be willing to walk a dead end in his life.

Therefore, he had to find another way out while he still had his physical body.

This is why he would abandon the grand path of the "Taiyi Jiuku Hushen Miaojing" (a classic text on martial arts and spiritual protection) and instead choose the rugged and steep path of combining martial arts and spiritual power.

It's not that he likes to take detours; it's just that the "Taiyi Jiuku Hushen Miaojing" is a method of cultivation for ghosts!
If a living person practices ghost-based techniques, there will only be one outcome: first becoming half-human, half-ghost, and then becoming a ghost.

Is it because the beautiful woman's body temperature of 37°C isn't warm enough?

Or is it that the meat and rice dishes just don't taste good?
Who would be a good person and not be a good person? Why would they go to hell?

Of course, the predicament Wang Wen is currently facing is also related to his temperament.

Some people are naturally inclined to seek stability, preferring to lay a solid foundation and then climb up step by step along the right path. In their eyes, life is like a one-way track, and any choice other than the right path in front of them is wrong.

Some people are naturally impatient for quick success and instant benefits. Even if they know that taking this step may leave many hidden dangers or even lead to a dead end in the future, they will still take the step without hesitation and firmly believe that after they become stronger, they will definitely find a way to solve those hidden dangers and difficulties.

Just like Wang Wen, it wasn't until today that he realized the path of ghost cultivation was a dead end.

However, he focused his energy on the path to higher and stronger cultivation, and never once sought a way to reverse the path of cultivation for ghost immortals...

……

Wang Wen locked himself in his room, eating and drinking, burning incense and regulating his breathing, and even took a short nap...

Only after he felt that his mind had completely calmed down and his energy had been adjusted to its peak state did he finally sit down cross-legged, take a deep breath, summon the Mountain God's Token, and decisively click the radiant "+" sign after "Boundless Ocean Divine Skill," watching helplessly as 345,600 merit points turned into flowing water.

'This is all hard-earned money!'

He muttered something to himself, then slowly closed his eyes, bracing himself for the explosion of images in his mind...

However, this time, only one image appeared in his mind.

He was dressed in a loose, white robe, sitting cross-legged atop a towering mountain, surrounded by an endless, tranquil sea of ​​clouds.

He froze for two seconds, two words flashing through his mind: 'That's it?'

And you dare to take 345,600 merit points from me?
My passionate horse, retreat...

Before the word "money" could even leave his mind, he saw the boundless sea of ​​clouds, which suddenly surged and churned violently like the sea under a storm, forming a snow-white tornado that blotted out the sky, with the eye of the storm falling on him.

At the same time, the winter rain clouds over Yangzhou, like the boundless sea of ​​clouds that appeared in Wang Wen's mind, undulated and surged violently. Amidst the rumbling thunder, a dark tornado blotted out the sky, and then, like a person reaching out, it slowly spread out an invisible and colorless eye, falling into the Qinghe Gang's headquarters, landing on Wang Wen's bedroom, slowly but decisively lifting the roof tiles, and directly landing on Wang Wen's Baihui acupoint on the top of his head. An icy cold sensation instantly spread throughout his body, and Wang Wen shivered intensely.

Then he felt the true energy that had been lying dormant in his lower dantian suddenly burst out of his lower dantian like a can of cola with Mentos candy thrown in. In the blink of an eye, it filled all the meridians in his body. Even Jiang Gong Lei, who was always domineering and resentful of everyone, was forcibly squeezed out of his body by the expanding true energy.

The intense swelling instantly pulled Wang Wen's mind, which was immersed in the scene of the sea of ​​clouds, back to reality.

Unfortunately, even after his mind returned to reality, the image in his mind continued to release various information, relentlessly influencing his mind.

'Holy crap, holy crap, it's going to explode, it's going to explode...'

He cried out in his heart in terror.

Just when he felt that his physical body was about to be squeezed and burst by the expanding true energy, the true energy that filled his meridians suddenly fell back down, shrinking back into his dantian and condensing into a single point.

The feeling was just like a balloon that had been inflated to its limit being suddenly punctured.

But before Wang Wen could even feel the emptiness, loneliness, and coldness, the true energy that had retreated into his dantian and condensed into a single point surged out again, filling his entire body once more with even greater speed.

It's not an exaggeration...

It really filled him up like an air pump, making him look like he was swollen.

The slight, stinging sensation that made Wang Wen, who already had a vague idea of ​​the truth, couldn't help but tense up again: 'Holy crap, holy crap, it's going to explode again, it's going to explode again...'

Just as he was anxiously calling out in his heart, the ferocious true energy receded like the tide, flowing from every meridian in his body back into his dantian and condensing into a single point.

Then, the cycle begins again.

This time, it completely filled Wang Wen up to the point that he looked like a huge fat man whose toes were completely hidden when he looked down.

Wang Wen was speechless: 'I know what you're up to, but can't you at least not go this far?'

As the old saying goes, life is like that; if you can't resist it, you can only enjoy it.

Wang Wen quickly adjusted his mindset and tried to calm himself down to perceive the tidal feeling of his mind and body resonating with each other.

Gradually, his breathing began to synchronize with the ebb and flow of his inner energy.

As his inner energy surged, he exhaled.

When his vital energy recedes, he inhales.

With each breath, his mind became tranquil, slowly withdrawing from the tidal sensation and looking down on this breakthrough from a higher perspective.

He gradually came to understand what it meant to be tolerant and inclusive.
He gradually realized what it meant to be strong yourself before you can succeed...

A true strong person is never someone whose strength is determined by others' opinions.

A true strong person is strong regardless of whether others consider them strong or not.

I am as serene as a green mountain, while your raging storms and torrential rains, passing through me, are nothing more than a gentle spring breeze...

This is the true meaning of the boundless ocean!

Just as his thoughts were illuminated by a glimmer of light.

The ever-expanding true energy within his body began to undergo new changes.

His true energy, which he had been wielding, had somehow split into two streams as it surged and raged.

One path follows the Ren meridian, which is a Yin meridian, while the other path follows the Du meridian, which is a Yang meridian.

The two streams of true energy circulated rapidly along his meridians, rising and falling incessantly as the primordial energy of heaven and earth enveloped him.

The true energy moved his blood and qi throughout his body, and it also circulated along with the rapid movement of the two streams of true energy.

The Qi and blood circulate rapidly throughout the body, elevating the Qi of the five internal organs and the five elements!
The five elements rise and are then divided into Yin and Yang, merging into the Ren and Du meridians!
Essence, Qi, and Spirit gradually achieve a delicate balance in their distinct processes.

In short, at this moment, the true energy within Wang Wen's body is his life!
If his internal energy malfunctions even slightly, he will die instantly!

On the contrary, the sublimation and strengthening of true qi also sublimates and strengthens his essence and spirit.

That is, it is sublimating the essence of Wang Wen's life!
The Innate Realm... has never referred to only the level of power.

The innate state refers more to a state of being, as if one were not yet born, as if one were still in a state of perfect unity, as if one were not yet born, as if one were still full of vitality, as if one were a brand new life, as if one were a brand new beginning!
A martial arts master at the Innate Realm, with a lifespan of two Jiazi (60 years)!
When Wang Wen, who was immersed in the light in his heart, was finally awakened by the changes in his body, the two streams of true energy in his body had already changed into forms he did not recognize.

A surge of heat, fiery, vibrant, passionate, and unrestrained.

A chilling aura, as cold as ice, was restrained, serene, and calm.

Two completely different streams of true energy flowed swiftly through his meridians, like two parallel lines that would never intersect.

But eventually, both streams of true energy will return to his lower dantian, transforming into a thick, condensed, and profound true energy, like a calm, vast ocean.

He sensed the true energy emanating from his dantian, and the light within him shone ever brighter.

I do not know how long it has been……

Wang Wen suddenly felt a ringing in his ears, as if some loud noise was ringing in his ears.

In an instant, the two streams of true energy that were originally completely separate within the body suddenly merged and connected between the Ren and Du meridians.

In an instant, ice and fire melted away, and yin and yang returned to one!

His entire being underwent a tremendous transformation with this interaction!

After the true energy that had been blended returned to his dantian, Wang Wen clearly sensed that a spring of water had appeared in his lower dantian!
A spring that flows endlessly and never ceases to thrive!

The source of this spring is all the vital energy of heaven and earth from the outside world!
It's as if the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the outside world is a river, which flows into his dantian and becomes the sea.

When he looked up again, the world before him was completely different...

"Is this the Innate Realm?"

He muttered to himself, then clenched his fist suddenly.

In an instant, a muffled roar erupted inside the room.

The earth is shaking!
