Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 391 Shortcut
At the edge of Earth's atmosphere, a beautiful blue glow shimmers, enveloping the massive planet.

From this vantage point, Gao Wu could already see the planets floating in the starry sky slowly rotating.

Compared to the vast planet, he, Song Mingyue, and Lu Yuan all appeared extremely small.

Even if he fully unleashed his Taiyi Battle Body, he could not cause fundamental damage to the planet.

The truly vulnerable part is the planet's surface ecosystem, which is easily disrupted, leading to the death of many lives.

Once the alien world and Earth's space are connected, Earth will remain largely unaffected, but its ecosystem will face the impact of the alien life system.

Humanity's fragile civilization may soon be swallowed up by another world. Of course, it's also possible that humanity will rise in an environment rich in primal energy and embark on a path of universal evolution.

The biggest problem is that humanity has to face otherworldly demons and gods, powerful beings that feed on life and spirituality...

Gao Wu saw Lu Yuan condense his Origin Power Core and was inspired by Lu Yuan's Heavenly Dragon Divine Form, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of grand concepts like planets, life, space, and demon gods...

What exactly does he want to resonate with?
Gao Wu had a vague feeling, but it was hard to pinpoint exactly what it was.

Lao Qin said that martial arts is not only about understanding martial arts techniques, but also about understanding life and the world.

When it comes to these things, Gao Wu doesn't really have any specific ideas.

Even from this position, his mindset is still similar to that of an ordinary person. He neither looks down on the masses nor looks up to the gods.

He had no grand ambition to bring peace to all generations, nor did he have the obsession with ascending to immortality and becoming a celestial being.

These things were either too big or too far away. His experience from two lifetimes was not enough for him to have an accurate understanding of them.

His understanding is very simple: first and foremost, he loves himself, both his strengths and weaknesses.

Then there is love for family and friends, and love for this imperfect life and world.

Therefore, martial arts should also be like this: uphold the most basic principles, change what can be changed, and accept the limits that cannot be reached.

Gao Wu organized what he had learned. When he advanced to the seventh level, the nine dragons merged into one, among which the Yuanlong Dao was the one he understood the most superficially.

Through resonance with Song Mingyue and her special abilities, he gained a certain understanding of the Yuanlong Dao. Using the Xuanlong as the framework, the Yuanlong as the order, and the Seven Dragons as the transformation, he completed the unification of the Nine Dragons.

It's been less than a month since he condensed his Origin Power Core. To want to advance to level eight in such a short time is indeed a bit arrogant.

The main goal is to cultivate the Taiyi Battle Body, bringing his true combat power to level eight. The only thing missing is to resonate with heaven and earth.

Gao Wu turned his gaze to Lu Yuan, who was completely absorbed in the changes of condensing the source energy core and was oblivious to the outside world.

Fortunately, there wasn't much danger in outer space, and with him and Song Mingyue protecting him, the old man could manage to stay here for a couple of days without much trouble.

The condensed source energy core circulates continuously throughout the body, and it does not require ordinary external things such as oxygen or food.

Gao Wu recalled the first time he met Lu Yuan, who taught him the "Regretful Dragon Soaring" technique, which was also the first time he had come into contact with such a profound method.

After that, his teacher Hai Wuji taught him the Heavenly Dragon Secret Sword, and Qin Liuhe taught him the Nine Dragons Limitless Way. Although their profoundness surpassed that of the Dragon Regretful Strike a Hundred Times, the shock they gave him was far less than that of the Dragon Regretful Strike a Hundred Times.

Even now, his mastery of the "Regretful Dragon" technique remains the deepest.

The saying "The dragon soars too high and then regrets" actually illustrates a very simple principle: don't use up all your strength. You should save some strength so that you can adapt to changing circumstances and advance or retreat with ease.

After thinking about this, Gao Wu had a general idea. If he wanted to achieve completeness and perfection, his understanding of the Nine Dragons Limitless Path was still too shallow, and he would definitely not be able to resonate with heaven and earth quickly.

Whether it's practicing martial arts or being a good person, there's no need to strive for perfection.

It is enough for him to resonate with the universe in certain aspects.

Qin Liuhe comforted him, saying there was no rush. In reality, he had only killed four Saints when Qin Liuhe took him to break the Golden Man.

Such hasty action is not Qin Liuhe's style. As it turns out, Old Qin was indeed in a great hurry.

Even with his astonishing progress in martial arts, Lao Qin was still not satisfied.

Gao Wu didn't quite understand Lao Qin's anxiety. Perhaps Lao Qin knew something and had a timetable.

He has actually reached level eight in combat power, and with his Taiyi Battle Body, he is no less than his teacher.

Through divine blessings, they can even surpass their teachers in every aspect.

Old Qin promoted him to level eight in the hope that he could condense his Dharma Domain and further control the Crimson Sky Sword.

This is the key!
Gao Wu realized that his mastery of the six transformations of the knife, sword, hammer, spear, whip, and shield was mainly to complement the divine weapons and divine incantations of the Taiyi Battle Body, refining the Nine Dragons Limitless Daoist method into six specific weapons.

It is simple and practical, yet it is also the martial art that he has come to understand and that belongs to him alone.

For now, we can ignore the other three dragon transformations and focus on these six martial arts as a foundation to comprehend the Dharma Domain. That will be sufficient.

Gao Wu suddenly understood. It was like being stuck on two of the hardest questions in an exam.

Now he's figured it out. If he doesn't know how to do something, he won't do it. He'll just do the other things he does know how to do. He might not get a perfect score, but he'll pass. That's enough for him.

Actually, six martial arts techniques are already a bit too many; the Xuanlong Hammer alone is sufficient. Gao Wu realized that the Xuanlong Hammer's ability to cover all directions was an excellent combination of space and source power.

To avoid disturbing Lu Yuan, Gao Wu retreated several kilometers away.
He silently contemplated the Heavenly Dragon, activating the Mysterious Dragon Hammer in his spiritual world, attempting to resonate with the endless magnetic field of the source power of heaven and earth.

A black dragon danced deep between his brows, and Gao Wu clenched his fists, making a hammer-like feint.

In the distance is a blazing, round sun; beneath my feet is a giant, azure Earth; and further still, endless, bright stars.

All of this was contained within the deep, endless black starry sky.

The starry sky was pure black; Gao Wu had never seen such a pure and profound black before. This was the true abyss, and the true void.

There was nothing there, only countless enormous stars dotting the sky, which, in the face of the endless cosmos, were like fireflies in the night...

Gao Wu's original understanding of space was still based on length, width, height, circles, squares, straight lines, and curves.

At this moment, his understanding of emptiness expanded billions of times.

Emptiness is emptiness; it is inexhaustible and contains nothing, yet it can contain everything!
The emptiness of the Xuanlong Hammer is not true emptiness, but rather the condensation of void into a square shape by dividing it with source power, which resembles a hammer.

The Xuanlong Hammer, powered by Gao Wu, resonated with the Void Source Force, forming a stable and enormous Source Force magnetic field.

In his view, this resonant source energy magnetic field was like a giant hammer. As he activated the Xuanlong Hammer, he could cause the entire source energy magnetic field to bombard it.

In this way, the total amount of source energy he could control increased fivefold. Of course, the stronger one's control over source energy, the fewer variations one could unleash.

For high-level martial arts practitioners, although the power of such gathered source energy is strong, it is not as efficient as the pure Taiyi Battle Body.

However, the source energy magnetic field can be a hammer, and it can also be transformed into a sword, a shield, a gun, a knife, or a whip.

The Source Force Domain is merely a resonant magnetic field; through different resonant states, it can naturally transform into different states.

Once the Source Force Domain transforms into a Sword Domain state, it can be used to initially restrain the Crimson Sky Sword, at least keeping it roughly in the shape of a blade...

To achieve this, you also need to use the Yin spirit in conjunction, which is actually the simplest method.

The formation of different states of the Dharma Domain also activated the corresponding acupoints within Gao Wu's body.

Gao Wu calculated that a total of 72 acupoints were activated.

These acupoints have only been activated; they will need some time to solidify and stabilize.

There are various methods for condensing acupoints in the Nine Dragons Limitless Path, but once you reach the seventh level, you must choose which acupoint to condense according to your own understanding.

Gao Wu's advancement time was too short; he didn't even have time to consider refining other acupoints.

Now that he has condensed his Dharma Domain, the corresponding acupoints have been stimulated, so he naturally knows which acupoints to condense in conjunction with the Dharma Domain.

He possesses the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra as his fundamental incantation, his life force is powerful, and he has an almost unlimited supply of dragon blood.

Condensing acupoints is only a matter of time; it's not difficult for him. The real challenge lies in establishing a stable connection between the acupoints and the Dharma Domain.

Gao Wu tried to trigger the change of the Law Domain. Even though it was a simplified version of the Law Domain and did not have any special Law Domain power, it was enough to offset the suppression of the other level eight Law Domains.

During battle, his sword domain and saber domain can unleash changes in his martial arts divine intent, greatly enhancing his attack range and power.

That's enough.

Gao Wu condensed his Dharma Domain and was also very proud of himself. He became a Martial Saint before the age of twenty. Such an achievement was no less than that of Lao Qin!
Although teachers like Hai Wuji are exceptionally talented, they are still somewhat inferior to him.

Gao Wu turned his gaze to Lu Yuan, whose source energy core had already taken shape, but was still sorting out the acupoints in his body to reshape the source energy system.

It looks like it will take some more time.

Gao Wu flashed to Song Mingyue's side and casually said through mental resonance, "Level eight isn't difficult."

Song Mingyue looked at Gao Wu with bright, clear eyes and said seriously, "It's not difficult for you."

“You understand me.” Gao Wu patted Song Mingyue’s shoulder with satisfaction. “You have to work hard too, don’t hold me back.”

Song Mingyue nodded vigorously. She knew Gao Wu was joking, but she did feel like she couldn't keep up with him.

In a battle against an eighth-level saint, she was almost useless and was more of a burden.

This made her feel very bad.

Even though Gao Wu awakened multiple powerful abilities, his comprehension of the Law Domain had nothing to do with these abilities; it was entirely due to his profound and unique understanding of martial arts.

Seeing Song Mingyue's serious expression, Gao Wu chuckled and pinched her cheek: "You're already very strong. My path is that of a heretical cultivator. You should take it one step at a time, and the more steadily you walk, the further you can go..."

His condensation of the Dharma Domain this time, besides luck, was also due to taking a shortcut. But it was enough for him.

Although the eighth-level Dharma Domain is incomplete, it can be gradually filled in later. Then, through the unity of heaven and man, one can advance to the ninth level...
