"Brother Sanbian, am I... not cut out for martial arts?"

"Yes."

"I……"

"Me too."

"What?"

"Like you, I am not cut out for martial arts."

"Don't comfort me. You are already a sixth-rank warrior before you reach the age of sixty. You are only one step away from being on par with a golden elixir. This kind of comfort makes me feel even worse."

"I am not comforting you. You are not cut out for martial arts, and neither am I. In the entire Xuanhuang race, no one is cut out for martial arts.

No matter whether it is the Kunpeng warrior standing on the top of the mountain now, or the ancient man who proved his way with strength and aspired to be the emperor tens of thousands of years ago, or the one who will break through the clouds of heaven and create the pinnacle of martial arts in the future.

It’s all like this.”

“…”

"Kunpeng, Kuilong, Demon Ape, Red Moth, Black Bird...

These ancient and wild alien races are the ones that are truly suitable for practicing martial arts.

They have been blessed by heaven since their birth, born with strong physiques and vast blood. The starting point of most of their existence is the end point that countless warriors of our human race have been tirelessly pursuing. "

"but……"

"The supreme martial arts of the Xuanhuang Realm were pioneered by our human predecessors."

"Our ancient ancestors, with their tiny and weak bodies, were like cicadas, carrying heavy loads to climb mountains, step by step, cutting through thorns and brambles, punch by punch, opening up the peak of the martial arts mountain, and finally, they transformed from an ant to a Kunpeng warrior who could challenge the sky with his fists!

In that era when the Human Emperor was born, saints emerged one after another, and peerless geniuses emerged like numerous stars.

The senior warriors tore apart the giant beasts in the wilderness with their bare hands, fought against the powerful aliens, and suppressed the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles with their fists.

Together with Emperor Xuan and many other ancestors, he drove out the ancient myriad races, suppressed the rebellious ancient monsters, and led the Xuanhuang human race all the way to the top."

"Zhao Rong, you are not cut out for martial arts. Maybe, apart from the second level of ascending to heaven and supporting the sky, you will not choose the path of a martial artist in the future. But no matter which path you take, I hope you can be like our ancestors in ancient times, just like the cicada in the "Carrying Mountains Volume", weak and tiny, but aspiring to go higher and higher, the more you walk, the heavier it becomes, until it carries a mountain, but never stops."

“…”

Firewood was thrown into the fire, and the orange-red flames burned silently.

Liu Sanbian took a sip of wine and said, "I don't have much education. These are just some simple principles that I have thought of after practicing boxing over the years. If you think..."

Zhao Rong, who had been staring at the flames, suddenly looked up and said with a smile: "Brother Sanbian, I understand."

Seeing this, Liu Sanbian let out a sigh and started laughing.

He threw the wine to Zhao Rong, "Are you tired lately?"

Zhao Rong's hands couldn't stop shaking as he took the wine jug. He took a sip of the wine and said, "Not bad."

Liu Sanbian joked, "It seems that the bones are a little hard. I will try to knock them again tomorrow."

Zhao Rong's hand shook violently and the wine spilled.

Liu Sanbian laughed.

Zhao Rong crossed his shoulders, spread out his five fingers, looked at his palm, squinted his eyes and said:

"Brother Sanbian, I still don't quite understand what you said about Zhenyi in the evening. How can I be sure that I have reached that level and can break through? Is there any sign?"

Liu Sanbian waved his hand, and the flames in front of him suddenly lowered.

"Don't try to find it deliberately, and don't think too much about it. As you practice, at some point, you will naturally feel that you can overcome that hurdle."

…

Lonely and secluded city.

Outside the thousand-foot-tall city gate of West City.

In a guest room on the second floor of an inn.

Zhao Rong closed his eyes.

Wearing a white lingerie.

Meditate in a fairyland-like environment filled with smoke.

His body was like a black hole. Once a wisp of smoke came within half a foot of him, it would be attracted by an inexplicable force.

Into his body.

Zhao Rong closed his eyes and frowned slightly.

The words of Liu Sanbian once again rang in my ears.

"To ascend to heaven, there are two basic principles: one is to be pure and empty, the other is to shake the clothes.

If you can be clear and empty, there will be no obstacles; if you can shake your clothes, there will be no hindrances.

Driven by blood and energy, it can be transformed into a body of metal or stone, with no obstructions inside and no hindrances outside. Only then can one enter into and exit from concentration.

If you know this, then you will have a foundation for advancement in the Tao.

The so-called "purifying the mind" refers to washing the marrow; the so-called "shaking the clothes" refers to changing the tendons."

This is the leader of the Ascension Realm.

First, feel the metal and stone, then feel the emptiness, and finally shake the clothes. Only when there is no hindrance or obstacle can you enter and exit samadhi.

Build the foundation of the great road and advance to the Fuyao realm.

Now Zhao Rong has already felt the threshold of breaking through the Qingxu period and entering the Zhenyi period.

"The so-called marrow washing is to purify the inside; the tendon changing is to strengthen the outside. If you can be pure and quiet inside and strong outside, you can rise to the sky in the blink of an eye. There is no problem for you not to succeed."

The Qingxu stage is about cleansing the marrow, while the Zhenyi stage is about changing the tendons.

And, according to "The Ant's Ascent to Heaven".

The specific method of clearing the void and washing the marrow is to guide the innate vital energy in the body to run along a special path in the meridians of the body, and finally to impact the Ren and Du meridians among the eight extraordinary meridians.

That’s right, it’s the legendary Ren and Du meridians that once opened can turn an ordinary person into a peerless master.

Zhao Rong was very familiar and had often heard of him before.

However, Zhao Rong now knows that the opening of the Ren and Du meridians is not as exaggerated as he had heard before. It is just that one can circulate the small circulation after opening them.

This is exactly the bottleneck when entering the Zhenyi Stage from the Qingxu Stage in the Ascension Realm.

Once the Ren and Du meridians are opened, the small circulation can be circulated and the Zhenyi stage will be entered.

As for the task of Zhenyi period, it is to complete the Great Circulation...

Zhao Rong's mind gradually fell into a strange state.

There is a feeling that the soul is leaving the body.

However, it is not completely out of the body, but is in a state of being about to come out.

With the help of this special state, he was able to vaguely see the meridians in his body.

Eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians.

It's vaguely right in front of us.

At this moment, there is a lively little red snake in the body, moving freely and non-stop.

This is... the innate vital energy.

Zhao Rong's heart moved.

Recite the spell silently in your mind and practice "The Ant Ascending to Heaven Spell".

Although the little red snake flowed naturally, he couldn't stop it.

But he suddenly discovered that he could guide its direction to some extent.

Zhao Rong was delighted, and he held his breath and concentrated, controlling it according to the marrow cleansing path in "The Ant's Ascension to Heaven".

For a moment, his mind sank...

"…The theory of marrow cleansing states that people are born with lust and desire. Once they have a physical body, their organs and limbs are all stained by filth. They must be cleansed completely, leaving no trace of impurities, before they can enter the door of transcendence and become saints. Without this, there is no basis for advancement…"

There was no light in the house and the windows were tightly closed.

It was pitch black.

There are sounds of insects chirping outside the window.

The night is getting deeper.

In the smoky room, there was a young man sitting cross-legged in meditation. His face was red and covered with sweat, and the same was true for the exposed skin.

It's like being roasted by red charcoal.

Zhao Rong frowned unconsciously at this moment.

A few breaths ago, he had already opened up the Ren meridian.

At this moment, he was trying his best to guide the little red snake to attack the last Du channel.

His brows furrowed more and more.

At some point.

Zhao Rong suddenly opened his eyes.

I feel something in my heart.

In an instant, he stood up lightly and assumed an ancient boxing stance.

My whole body was shocked.

Du meridian is unblocked!

Zhenyi has arrived.
