When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...
Again and again, Jiang Yuan practiced Tai Chi in the cubicle, incorporating ancient energy into each strike, aiming to imbue Tai Chi with the majestic power of the Three Ancient Gods' Fists.
Ancient—this is an elusive aura. Although it still exists in the world, it is certainly not abundant. It is extremely difficult to draw upon another ancient aura to accompany you in battle.
But it is precisely because it is difficult that Jiang Yuan wanted to combine the two into one. The most basic level of Tai Chi Chuan is to mobilize the Yin and Yang, essence, energy and spirit, limbs, five internal organs, internal and external harmony, seven parts, eight methods of strength, nine acupoints and eighteen joints in the body. However, once you leave this level, you will rise to the level of artistic conception.
The subsequent Yin-Yang stance, the great power of Heaven, Earth and Man, the power of the Four Symbols, etc., all require further advancement to reach. The ancient spirit can be fully incorporated into Tai Chi Chuan as the finishing touch.
Tai Chi Chuan only starts from Yin and Yang, but lacks the One. Although this One is the key to the whole Tai Chi, Jiang Yuan's current skill level is too far from the One of Tai Chi. It would be better to use the ancient aura to perfect it first.
"Charge punch!"
With a punch, Jiang Yuan's aura surged forward, but the Ancient God's Three Punches was ultimately only a seventh-level fist technique. The power it could unleash would decrease as it progressed, and the momentum of his punch could no longer keep up.
"Killing Fist!"
With another punch, unlike his previous unstoppable momentum, Jiang Yuan's punch was filled with a fierce killing intent. This was the rage unleashed by the god of slaughter, which no one could bear.
"Ancient Fist!"
The final punch of the Ancient God's Three Fists was unleashed. Unlike the previous Ancient Fists, this one was both bold and refined, vast yet subtly imbued with the essence of Yin and Yang, ancient yet infused with a touch of Yin and Yang energy, a complete transformation from the previous Ancient God's Three Fists.
"I still haven't been able to fully grasp the essence of Tai Chi!"
After Jiang Yuan finished several sets of punches, he paused. As he felt his punching skills becoming increasingly rusty, he felt lost.
"Is this just my imagination?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask himself.
After performing two sets of punches, he couldn't distinguish which set was the Ancient God's Three Fists and which set was Tai Chi. It was like the semantic saturation that occurs when learning characters. Even though it's a character that you can recognize, when you analyze it in depth, it gives you a sense of unfamiliarity and makes you unable to identify it.
Jiang Yuan is currently in this state; after deeply analyzing the two boxing styles, he has fallen into a state of bewilderment and ignorance.
"What do we do now! Should we continue?" Jiang Yuan stared at the night sky. He knew that continuing might not yield an answer, but not continuing would definitely not yield an answer either.
Gazing at the night sky, Jiang Yuan felt a sense of relaxation. He suddenly realized, "It seems I was too nervous. Comprehending the essence of boxing is something that can only be encountered by chance; forcing it will only lead to disappointment!"
"Let nature take its course!"
Four words surfaced in Jiang Yuan's mind. This time, he didn't follow the prescribed punching method; he threw whichever punch he wanted, however he pleased.
The sense of being unrecognizable that had appeared before vanished at this moment. Every punch Jiang Yuan threw became very natural and harmonious, just like a normal person throwing a punch, without any force.
Only he, the person involved, understood that each of his punches contained at least dozens of points of divine energy, but in this wondrous state, he achieved a state of returning to simplicity.
"The aura of antiquity is the aura of the heavens! And the might of heaven is as calm as a gentle breeze, as agitated as thunder, and its control is revealed in every gesture!"
"Tai Chi Chuan embodies the concepts of Yin and Yang, and the postures of the Two Forms! The left and right hands are divided into two forms, and their movements should be seamless!"
The profound mysteries of the two boxing styles gradually entered his mind. When the first punch, which exploded into the air, froze in mid-air, the might of the heavens descended.
"call!"
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, but he didn't stop what he was doing. Instead, he threw punches faster and faster.
That strike just now perfectly integrated the ancient aura into Tai Chi. If we were to use a more fitting name to describe it, it would be the Two Elements Ancient Fist.
Tai Chi Chuan is not just about Yin and Yang; Yin and Yang is just a simpler one in the basics. Apart from Yin and Yang, there are many other parts of the body that need to be opened, whether it is the limbs, the five internal organs, or the six harmonies. These will be the advanced versions of Tai Chi Chuan.
Time flew by, and four hours passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Yuan didn't know how many sets of punches he had performed. He only knew that he stopped when he was exhausted and unable to perform any more.
"There's really been a lot of progress!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh. He not only incorporated the ancient spirit into Tai Chi Chuan, but also evolved the fist technique to the level of the Five Elements. From Yin and Yang, the Three Powers and the Four Symbols to the Five Elements, he successively unlocked fourteen secrets of the physical body. It was precisely because of these fourteen secrets that the power of the Tai Chi Chuan he displayed was no weaker than that of a super ninth-level martial art.
"Coo coo!"
Jiang Yuan's stomach started growling uncontrollably. He could sense that Ning Yanlan in the room had not rested yet; she had been peeling raw minerals for four and a half hours straight.
"This idiot, didn't I tell her to rest more?" Jiang Yuan complained while cursing himself for not showing enough care for Ning Yanlan.
Pushing open the door, Ning Yanlan was indeed not asleep. A corner of the floor was piled with seventh-tier holy spirit stones, and Ning Yanlan and the two little ones were still working diligently.
"Hello!" Ning Yanlan yawned.
Jiang Yuan nodded, then said, "Don't do these tiring tasks, go to sleep! I'll keep watch!"
"Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I'm happy to help you with whatever I can!" Ning Yanlan replied with a smile.
"Give me the Demon Pearl!" Jiang Yuan said as he set up the Holy Spirit Source. The concentration of spiritual energy in the camp was far greater than in other places. With the Holy Spirit Source, this place would be a blessed land for cultivation. There was no reason to waste such a good cultivation environment.
Ning Yanlan handed over the demon pearl, which had not yet accumulated much energy, and then glanced thoughtfully at the two little ones diligently peeling and gnawing on it in the corner.
"Alright, go to sleep! I'll give you the Holy Spirit's protection on time, just get a good night's sleep!" Jiang Yuan ruffled her beautiful black hair.
"Didn't you have a lot of barbecue last time? Give me some!" Ning Yanlan mysteriously stretched out her hand to Jiang Yuan.
"Don't eat that. There are too many impurities in the roasted meat. Eating too much will easily affect your cultivation progress!" Jiang Yuan didn't take the roasted meat. Instead, he took out a bottle of Fetal Pills and said seriously, "Eat this. It will not only replenish your physical strength but also cleanse your essence and marrow!"
"Give it to me, I need it!" Ning Yanlan's tone carried a hint of something unpredictable.
"Good, good, good, this is plenty, we can't even finish a ninth-grade roasted meat!" Jiang Yuan took out the gray-faced vulture meat chunks that he hadn't finished last time.
Ning Yanlan first took them in, then squatted down in front of the two little ones, and the two pigs began to communicate quietly.
About a minute later, the two little ones followed Ning Yanlan out. Just as Jiang Yuan was confused and didn't know what to do, Ning Yanlan tiptoed back in.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.
"No one and no pigs have come to disturb our happy life today!"
