Soon, Li Ming descended the mountain and arrived at the room that Guan Xin had prepared for him.
The fighting over the past few days has also taken a toll on his energy.
Finally able to completely relax, Li Ming let out a long breath, sat cross-legged, and prepared to thoroughly digest the gains of the past few days.
"I've gained quite a bit of life energy, so I might consider advancing another attribute to the red level."
Li Ming pondered as he meditated, channeling his inner energy.
Having previously refined so much demonic power, some of which had not yet been fully digested, he could now take the opportunity to refine it, helping him achieve perfect cultivation.
As its acupoints opened wide, it greedily devoured all the spiritual energy around it, and the Reincarnation Purple Lotus cooperated by releasing a large amount of pure energy.
In an instant, true energy surged, and blood and qi rushed through the body, like thunder rumbling and waves crashing, filling the room.
The startling commotion immediately alarmed the servants guarding the door, but they held no resentment towards their young master's friend, whom they deeply respected.
In this world, martial prowess reigns supreme. No matter how high one's family background, those without strength will not be respected even by the servants.
Meanwhile, the scions of aristocratic families also valued martial arts and used martial arts to make friends and discuss philosophy.
"Chaos Body Refinement, Eternal Immortality!"
Li Mingyuan channeled his mysterious primordial energy, which permeated all parts of his body.
It's as if a paintbrush has been raised, sketching the shape of a furnace inside the human body.
As his blood and qi circulated throughout his body, a trembling sound was emitted, as if some shackles had been broken, and nothing could restrain him anymore.
An unimaginable, terrifying potential burst forth from his entire body, filling every part of his limbs and bones.
"I never expected that my physical body would undergo a transformation during this opportunity... Normally, breaking through these physical shackles is the first step to becoming a Martial Saint?"
Li Ming muttered to himself.
Just now, he unconsciously circulated his cultivation technique, pushing his cultivation level forward.
Finally, his potential was unleashed once again, helping him break the second shackle on the human body!
Only then can his physique be called that of a Martial Saint!
Transcending the ordinary and achieving sainthood is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Many geniuses of our time, despite having perfected their cultivation and opened all their acupoints, are still stuck at the Divine Power Realm.
It's because there are still four steps to becoming a saint that haven't been completed.
Normally, the first step is to break free from the shackles of the physical body, and one's strength will no longer be limited.
The second step is to break the shackles on the soul and condense the primordial spirit.
The third step is that true qi transforms into true essence.
The fourth step is to perfect the skill and condense the martial will into a Dharma form.
Of course, the first three steps don't necessarily have to be done in order, and the fourth step will also vary depending on each person's practice method.
For example, Li Ming's shackles on his soul were broken when he killed Hun Tianxin, and he successfully condensed his primordial spirit.
At this moment, his physical body broke through once again.
The already terrifying qi and blood seemed to materialize and appear all over his body.
To outsiders, Li Ming looked as if he were burning, his whole body radiating red light and crimson flames.
Blood like divine fire, breath like holy light.
As his cultivation level increased, Li Ming's path to becoming a Martial Saint was completely unimpeded, and his progress was far faster than expected.
Keep in mind, how long has it been since he broke through to the Divine Power Realm?
Ordinary people are probably still in the process of consolidating their realm.
He has made breakthroughs one after another, quickly perfecting his cultivation, and even beginning the transformation of his physical body and soul.
Through tempering, Li Ming's skin became as delicate as white jade.
If you look through the surface and into the bones inside, you can see that they have turned a pale gold color, and a strangely shaped bone is particularly dark in color, as if it is undergoing some kind of amazing transformation!
"If one were to reach the Martial Saint realm, I wonder if one could repair these damaged divine bones on their own?"
Li Ming began to silently recall that it was said that some people could be reborn completely after their bones were dug out, and even go further.
It's just a bit damaged, so it should be able to revive itself, right?
If that's the case, it might even save some of our lives.
"It is said that in the ancient times of the Xuanhuang Realm, there were ferocious beasts and demons with domineering bloodlines flowing through their bodies. They were born with unparalleled strength and devoured everything."
Humanity received the teachings from the Dao Ancestor, embarked on the path of cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao, then purged one realm and even expanded its influence to a larger world.
However, as time went by and the world changed drastically, gaps appeared in history. Human ancestors sought secret methods in ancient history, combined them with the path of immortality, and formed a unique path of martial arts, encompassing the physical body, the soul, true energy, and the will of martial arts...
"I wonder just how powerful the divine bones, ferocious bones, and divine bodies of the ancient times truly are..."
Li Ming was lost in thought, his mind wandering.
The Yin and Yang within the body shift, and the true Qi splits into two streams, one hard and one soft, colliding with each other.
His chest heaved, breathing in and out the primordial energy of heaven and earth, perfectly in harmony with the laws of nature.
The pure true energy repeatedly cleanses the muscles, bones, and skin of the body, and every moment, the physique is improved!
The world's top martial arts techniques are actually categorized into body tempering, energy cultivation, and supernatural abilities.
His "Chaos Heavenly Scripture" naturally contains many mysterious body-refining methods and supernatural powers.
Unfortunately, he could only grasp the basics at this point.
"Next, we need to continue to refine our cultivation techniques and transform our true qi into true essence!"
Li Ming thought to himself.
In fact, true essence is simply the further condensation of true qi. Previously, in the Condensing Qi Realm, true qi had already been condensed once. To break through to the Martial Saint Realm, one must naturally make a breakthrough in all aspects.
This true energy also needs to be strengthened, which will require some time to cultivate the technique.
"It's a pity that this step can't be skipped quickly; it will just take some time."
Li Ming felt somewhat regretful, as he had already largely exhausted the benefits of the previous demon gift pack.
After the cultivation technique had circulated for a hundred cycles, he opened his eyes.
His gaze seemed to contain the myriad phenomena of the universe, evolving into the rising and setting of the sun and the vastness of the starry sky; outsiders could immediately sense the profound and unfathomable aura within it.
In her previous life, her appearance alone would have been enough to make her a guest of honor for high-ranking officials and nobles.
That makes sense, though. As his cultivation level increased, his aura changed, and his physical body underwent a transformation; he was no longer an ordinary person.
Li Ming focused his mind and stopped using his internal energy. Instead, he took out the Buddha statue he had obtained earlier.
I stared intently at it.
His mind was constantly drawn into it, and his thoughts kept rising.
A vast array of traditions emerged in his eyes.
Fist techniques, staff techniques, body-refining methods, supernatural powers, secret arts...
Not enough...not enough.
These inheritances are at best of superior quality, and they are of little help to me now. For a supreme martial saint to value them, there should be a much stronger inheritance within this Buddha statue..."
Li Ming's thoughts were in turmoil, and even his breathing became a little rapid, as if he was immersed in it and could not extricate himself.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed between his brows, and in an instant, all the delusions in his heart vanished.
He immediately snapped out of his trance and woke up.
"It seems I'm not meant to be?"
Li Ming felt a chill run down his spine, and a distracting thought arose again. His expression then became somewhat solemn.
There is nothing strange about this Buddha statue. On the contrary, its creator has perfectly stored his own martial arts will in it. If a martial artist seriously studies it, he can also feel the will contained within it.
However, for someone as perceptive as him, seeing too much can actually be detrimental.
The sheer volume of martial arts intent, coupled with his inability to comprehend the most secret divine skill, left him somewhat distracted.
"However, if my comprehension improves further, I wonder if we still have a chance!"
Li Ming immediately made a decision.
You don't have enough comprehension at the crimson level, do you?
Then add some!
