Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 206 Strength Soars, Senior Sister Launches Night Raid

Inside the dantian, the four colors of true energy—red, white, blue, and black—are intertwined, appearing distinct yet completely without conflict.

Instead, it gained a touch of magnificence.

"This is obviously not going to work."

Although Lu Wubing felt that his body was dominated by the Vast Ocean True Qi, containing the Great Sun Blazing Yang True Qi, the Dark Sun True Qi, and the Heavenly Heart Bright Moon True Qi, making it extremely powerful, he still felt a slight disharmony.

It's as if your heart is burdened with a heavy weight, making the flow of your inner energy less smooth and fluid.

"Therefore, there is still one step to take."

Lu Wubing lit the Tranquilizing Incense. This time, unusually, he didn't intensively practice swordsmanship. Instead, he slowly circulated his true energy, passing it through his acupoints, over and over again.

He knew that whether he understood it or not, as long as his true energy was still circulating, and as long as the true energy of the Three Divine Peaks that he controlled had the possibility of fusion, then the [Heaven Rewards Diligence] destiny would naturally allow him to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers, gain extraordinary comprehension, and thus directly break through.

He didn't need to do much.

Just keep practicing randomly.

Each time I circulate my true energy, countless insights and sparks of inspiration arise in my mind, burning fiercely like treetops struck by lightning on a rainy night.

The flames burned ever brighter, while the true energy flowed steadily and calmly.

I do not know how long it has been.

Lu Wubing was suddenly jolted.

Faintly, it seemed as if a bell tolled from the beginning of time.

The four-colored true energy within his body, which was like a pot of eight-treasure porridge, suddenly transformed into two colors.

The main body is slightly blue, and at the end of the blue, a light purple emerges.

Although it appears to be two colors, upon closer inspection, Lu Wubing discovered that it is actually one color.

There's too much blue and not enough purple.

This blue-purple true energy, for some reason, seemed much thinner than the immense power it possessed when the four colors of true energy had converged previously.

If the four-colored true energy that gathered before was truly like a surging ocean, now it is like a calm lake as smooth as a blue-purple gemstone.

It looks calm and peaceful.

Huh, why is my true energy decreasing the more I practice?

Moreover, this bluish-purple hue did not have the same heavy and solid feel as before; instead, it was somewhat transparent and appeared thin.

Lu Wubing knew that the four realms of innate nature were, in essence, a process of condensing true qi into liquid.

From the moment one begins cultivating Qi and opens the first acupoint to the generation of internal energy, the cultivation of internal energy at this stage, while called Qi refining, is actually the cultivation of a fluctuation within the human body.

This energy has not yet taken form and is almost invisible to the naked eye.

The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger and more real the internal energy becomes.

At this point, the internal energy possesses the power to cause damage outside the body, which can be seen with the naked eye.

Even at this time, it is still semi-transparent, and those with slightly poor eyesight cannot see it.

The outward manifestations of internal energy—whether fiery red, azure blue, or pitch black—as well as the sword and saber aura, are merely changes in the external environment caused by the properties of internal energy and the application of unique methods.

It's not the original color of internal energy.

For example, fire-attribute internal energy inherently possesses properties such as combustion and explosion. Once it is released from the body and comes into contact with oxygen, it immediately ignites wildly.

When a blade of energy slashes through, the opponent will not only be cut by the energy but also burned by the flames—that's the principle.

If you get hit at close range and the attack penetrates the enemy's meridians, that would be even more serious.

This internal energy is rampaging... Since it is a foreign substance, it will definitely damage meridians that have not yet adapted to it.

Unless the internal energy originates from the same source, it can be withstood. If the attributes are opposite, it could even cause the body to explode.

Therefore, in the stage from the ninth rank to the first rank.

Internal energy nourishes and strengthens the body; when combined with different methods of energy application (secret techniques), it creates different lethal effects.

Simply sending internal energy out of the body to harm the opponent is the least efficient way to use it.

However, once one has opened the Heavenly Gate and cultivated innate true qi, the situation becomes somewhat different.

The internal energy transforms into true energy, which condenses from illusory ripples invisible to the naked eye into a truly visible gas.

In Taoist terminology, this gas is called Primordial Qi, which not only has many wonderful uses, but also possesses real destructive power.

Furthermore, under the control of mental power, it can transform into various shapes, such as blade, sword, dragon, and tiger, with its attack power increasing several times over. Its elemental damage also becomes far stronger.

In Lu Wubing's view, this is actually the transformation of the thin internal energy cultivated through practice into a solid form, which is then used to unleash various techniques and become true strength.

Compared to internal strength, it is far superior.

After refining innate true qi... the four realms of innate qi are, in general, a process of enhancing divine will and making spiritual power more formidable.

With stronger mental power, one can more efficiently condense and compress internal energy, increasing the volume and quality of the energy within the meridians and dantian.

Until the ultimate stage of innate intent, one uses an extremely powerful will to compress this innate energy into a liquid and then form a stable structure.

When the body's true energy liquefies, it is the fourth stage of returning to one's true nature, which is also known as the innate perfection.

Before returning to one's true nature, one's true energy surges forth, radiating powerful energy that flows ceaselessly within the body. Therefore, one can perceive the strength of a cultivator.

Upon reaching the Innate Return to Truth realm, the body's internal energy condenses into liquid, becoming introverted and solid, making it difficult for others to perceive how powerful the person's aura is.

He looks just like an ordinary person.

However, once they make a move, even a slight manipulation of their condensed innate true energy will unleash unimaginable power. Against innate experts below the condensed liquid level, it's simply a crushing defeat.

On a physical level, this is a collision between water and air, and the result is self-evident.

The sword and palm techniques wielded by the innate condensed true qi have become exponentially more powerful due to the upgraded fuel.

This is the common sense of cultivation in this world that Lu Wubing understood after experiencing two worlds and the collision of two kinds of knowledge.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually not simple at all.

But then he noticed a strange phenomenon.

Even if the Dark Sun True Qi doesn't count and is just an add-on, how come the True Qi that I fused with the three divine skills of the Three Divine Peaks has become even thinner?

In terms of quantity, it has also become about one-tenth... I only feel that my dantian and meridians are empty and not filled at all.

"Isn't it said that the stronger the innate true energy, the more solid it is? And the greater the quantity?"

A question had just arisen in his mind.

Then I noticed something was off.

The stone bench I was sitting on seemed to have become much shorter.

Originally, from this angle, looking straight ahead, one could see the tip of Sword Cliff in the distance, just over the courtyard wall.

But at this moment, nothing can be seen.

All that could be seen was patchwork of dark clouds swirling in the wind under the moonlight.

"what!"

Lu Wubing felt something and looked down, only to find to his surprise that half of his buttocks was now sitting in the stone platform, sinking deep down to his hip bone.

Startled, he subtly moved his waist.

wow...

The entire stone platform collapsed.

He unintentionally reached out and touched the stone table next to him.

Lu Wubing stood still, his body slightly tilted, looking at the stone table with a somewhat blank expression.

He noticed that his left hand, which he had used to support the stone table, had unknowingly pressed a deep palm print into the table.

The cracks spread, and a series of clattering and clanging sounds rang out. The stone table collapsed as a result.

"Fuck..."

Overwhelmed with surprise, Lu Wubing, who hadn't used a swear word in a long time, suddenly started swearing.

I felt that only by speaking without thinking could I express the shock and joy in my heart.

This situation has occurred.

He knew perfectly well what his situation was.

The same situation occurred when I last cultivated the [Glassy Sword Body].

Furthermore, when one has mastered the [Great Sun Glazed Tile Skill] and [Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Fist] to perfection, there are instances where one cannot control the power.

But none of them were this serious.

Without a sound, his physique was strengthened to a degree that he himself could not perceive.

The change happened suddenly and ended just as suddenly, as naturally as breathing and drinking water.

Now, with the slightest movement, he can unleash boundless power. Things that were once very solid crumble into a pile of dust under his touch, like tofu dregs.

"Just how strong and physically robust am I?"

Back in Donghai County, Lu Wubing roughly estimated that he possessed a physical strength of approximately five to six thousand jin.

He consumed the Blood Jade Coral Powder without regard for cost, strengthening his physique and blood energy until he refined it to the point where his blood energy could extend half a foot outside his body. He estimated that his physical strength might reach around ten thousand jin.

There's no definitive answer as to just how strong it is.

But what about now?

He could have used the strength of ten thousand jin to embroider flowers with a long spear, with exquisite control, but now he felt as if he had no control over his body at all.

Strength and physique must at least double to produce these symptoms.

So, just how strong am I right now?

He looked around, glanced at the dark, heavy iron lock in the corner of the yard, and with a sudden thought, he walked over there, stumbling along.

This is the tool I used to train my strength when I first came up the mountain.

It weighs 500 jin (250 kg).

When I reached a high level of proficiency in practicing the Golden Robe, I still found it slightly difficult to wield it.

After the power increases dramatically, it becomes unsuitable.

He stopped trying.

Because he has difficulty finding suitable tools.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Wubing reached out and gently took it, then straightened up.

The 500-pound iron lock lay in his palm as thin as a piece of paper.

It looks like it's made of paper.

He curiously reached out and gently pinched it.

The top of the iron lock, at the handle, had softened into a puddle of mud, and the molten iron had flowed out from between his fingers.

bang...

The iron lock fell heavily to the ground, making a loud thud, and the ground trembled slightly.

This proves that it is not fake.

"No need to test anymore, my physique has indeed suddenly become incredibly strong. If I don't have 30,000 jin of strength, I have at least 20,000 jin. My physical body is getting stronger and stronger..."

Lu Wubing finally confirmed his true physical strength. While he was overjoyed, he was also slightly puzzled.

He stood still, carefully observing his surroundings.

It was discovered that the flesh and blood seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed not to have changed. However, the distance between the smallest particles seemed to have narrowed somewhat.

The particles of flesh and blood in the body also became more concentrated.

Of course, it might just be an illusion.

Given his improved physique, Lu Wubing believed it to be true.

Then the problem is coming.

What exactly caused this dramatic change?

Moreover, she didn't even realize it herself.

Eliminate all impossibilities.

The only truth is...

[Blue-purple Qi True Qi]

I recalled the various classic texts that I had skimmed through in my mind.

Lu Wubing finally remembered something.

That was a biographical story I read back then, recorded by a disciple of the Tianxing Sect from some unknown generation. It was a fantastical tale that mythologized the story of the Hunyuan Ancestor passing on the Dao to three friends.

The book states that the Primordial Ancestor cultivated the Primordial Divine Skill and attained the [Primordial Pure Qi]. Not only was his internal energy cultivation dozens of times stronger than ordinary divine skills and secret methods, but his external physical strength was also inhuman.

“Blue-purple, yes, it seems that the book also mentioned it, saying that it was a pity that this world restricted the Primordial Ancestor, otherwise, the true qi he cultivated would not be blue-purple qi, but innate purple qi, purple qi coming from the east.”

"The reason it is bluish-purple is because this is the upper limit of this world. The primordial primordial energy that is condensed is of this color."

Well, Lu Wubing mostly regarded these records as myths.

Because the sect leader who wrote the story also recorded some stories such as Hunyuan Yishi opening the world with a single sword, and that this world was created by him, which is pure nonsense.

Looking back now, some things in that book may have been made up, but some things may not have been false.

For example, as mentioned above, the Primordial Ancestor was not born and raised in this world, but rather a celestial being who descended to earth. Otherwise, he could not have broken through the void with his physical body and torn apart the sky to leave. It's like moving from one house to another; this world is merely a temporary stop for him.

This argument, it must be said, does have some merit.

"So, the blue-purple true energy in my body shouldn't be getting thinner and thinner with practice, but rather it's because its quality is so high that it's beyond reason, reducing the true energy from ten percent to less than one percent."

The nature of this true energy was incredibly powerful, and it subtly transformed my body to be more suitable for survival, greatly evolving it.

The process was extremely gentle, causing no harm to the body whatsoever, and therefore went unnoticed.

Lu Wubing formed a sword with his fingers, and a wisp of pure energy appeared above his fingertips. This time he was much more careful, only making a light stroke in the air.

Sizzle...

A sound as soft as tearing silk rang out.

A thin black line stretched across the void before my eyes.

They broke through the courtyard wall and rushed straight for thirty feet, where a huge tree, as thick as a person's embrace, fell down silently.

That black line continued to extend outward relentlessly.

It went straight up to fifty feet, splitting a reclining ox rock before disappearing into the ground, its whereabouts unknown.

"Good guy."

Lu Wubing stared blankly at his fingertips.

He was certain that he hadn't used any sword techniques or exerted any force; he had simply relied on the destructive power of his true energy to propel it forward.

"Is this true energy so solid and so powerful that an enemy at the Innate Realm level can withstand it?"

"Uncle Bi, you are right."

Thinking that if he hadn't come to this world, and if Bi Fenkong had truly forced him to succeed, he could have gathered the Three Peaks Divine Skill, cultivated the Primordial Pure Qi, and possessed the [Image] character seal that could replicate other people's talents.

Perhaps, this guy really can stand at the pinnacle of this world and compete with all the heroes under heaven.

Unfortunately, all of this is now mine.

Uncle Bi, I have to thank you.

Lu Wubing looked up at the sky, his expression a mixture of sorrow and joy.

At this moment, he felt incredibly powerful. Even if a master at the Innate Ultimate level attacked, he could fight him to the death.

He even felt that he might not be at a disadvantage compared to experts who had reached the Innate Ultimate Realm and begun to liquefy their true qi.

True Qi is not the same as True Qi.

With the Primordial Ancestor before me, I will certainly not dishonor his unparalleled reputation.

He then circulated his inner energy properly.

Lu Wubing waved his hands and raised his feet with satisfaction, starting to move his fists and kicks. It took him a full hour to regain complete control of his physique and strength.

Even if you try to carve patterns on the tofu, you won't damage the patterns at all. At this point, you've basically succeeded.

As for what it would look like to unleash the full power and use the strongest energy manipulation techniques to execute a special attack, Lu Wubing did not try again.

After all, it was already late, almost midnight. Making too much noise and disturbing people's sleep wouldn't be good.

Overjoyed at the significant breakthrough in his cultivation, he decided to refrain from sword practice that night.

Before heading down the mountain, get a good night's sleep.

Lying down in bed, just like before I started practicing, I covered myself with a thin blanket, cleared my mind, and slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

Light footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and a figure leaped over the wall with a light gust of wind. The figure tiptoed to the gate, hesitating for seven or eight breaths.

Lu Wubing couldn't sleep. He wondered what Xiaolan, his senior sister, wanted to see him in the middle of the night.
His spiritual senses were incredibly strong at that moment; he could even sense the struggle on his senior sister's face and hear the unease in her breathing.

Before he could come up with anything,

In the pitch-black night, that familiar, soft, and warm body slipped into his bed.
