Chapter 156
The two stared at each other for a long moment, and finally, Uncle Gui spoke first. "Um... brat, don't be so naive. Although ten years is a long time, I believe your physique should still be quite good. It's probably because of the way you're opening up your meridians that the efficiency is low."
Cheng Hui looked at Uncle Gui speechlessly. Although... your words didn't comfort me at all...
He pinched his nose and said, "I thought my efficiency was pretty good. How come it's so much worse than others?"
Cheng Hui felt that he was a college student after all—although he had not graduated—and he had learned many physical principles in middle school, such as... inertia.
When opening up the meridians, those meridians are like blocked rivers. Using brute force to open them up will have no effect at all. Instead, in the process of circulating spiritual power, using inertia, treating the spiritual power as waves, and constantly impacting those rivers will have a very good effect.
Even if the progress is only a little each time, this kind of thing is like water dripping through a stone. What's the harm if it goes slowly? As long as there is effect, that's enough.
But for some reason, the meridian opening that Uncle Gui mentioned was so simple... Could it be that I am really too stupid and haven't found the right way?
Or is there some special trick to opening up the meridians? But I remember hearing Qingyang mention it before, and his master told him that opening up the meridians is a very laborious process. If there was a trick, Wuyouzi would not have kept it to Lin Qingyang.
Uncle Gui didn't know what was going on with Cheng Hui, so he had to ask him to explain what happened in detail.
Uncle Gui suddenly interrupted him mid-sentence: "Wait, you said... you started to open up the blocked meridians in your limbs?"
"Yeah." Cheng Hui didn't think there was anything wrong. All the meridians in the body were connected, so naturally he had to pay attention to those places that were not connected.
Uncle Gui looked dazed. Cheng Hui finally realized something was wrong and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
"That's right...you did a damn good job!" Uncle Gui swallowed hard, then said ecstatically.
Cheng Hui: “…Huh?”
"I didn't expect that... Ha, Cheng Hui, you are really a freak!"
"I can encounter such a thing. It seems that even God is helping me!"
Uncle Gui was extremely excited, muttering something incessantly and circling around Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui was dizzy from his spinning and could only stop him: "Uncle Ghost, what are you talking about?"
"Haha, good news! Very good news!" Uncle Gui rubbed his hands and patted Cheng Hui's shoulder excitedly: "Boy, you are so lucky. I thought you would miss this opportunity and the next time you come would be fifty years later. I didn't expect that you would actually give me a surprise!"
Cheng Hui:?
"Do you know what your current state is called?"
Cheng Hui shook his head blankly.
"Your condition is called the Glazed Clear Body. This ability to open up all the meridians in your body is only possible during the Nascent Soul stage. To be more precise, at the moment you break through the Dan and become an Infant, there's a 30% chance that the newly born Nascent Soul will achieve the Glazed Clear Body."
Seeing Cheng Hui still looking bewildered, Uncle Ghost said unhappily, "Stinky boy, what did your master teach you? Why didn't he even mention this Glazed Clear Body?"
Cheng Hui silently lit a candle in his heart for Wuyouzi, who was innocently blamed.
Wuyouzi certainly wouldn't mention the Glazed Clear Body that only appears in the Nascent Soul stage to Lin Qingyang so early. After all... when the two separated, the latter hadn't established his foundation yet. Even if the master was far-sighted, he wouldn't believe that his little disciple could reach the Nascent Soul stage in just a few years.
Cheng Hui's knowledge was also limited. He had read a lot of miscellaneous books in the library and occasionally had some unexpected gains, but he had never heard of the Pure Aquatic Body.
Uncle Gui also knew that Cheng Hui lacked guidance from a teacher, so he simply explained it to him himself.
This so-called pure glass body is actually a special physique, which is the body with all the meridians open like Cheng Hui's at the moment.
Such a body can absorb external spiritual energy more quickly and even form resonance.
Why do cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage rarely become exhausted during battle? It's because of this spiritual energy resonance.
Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual energy used by cultivators to unleash their skills is all stored in their Dantian Purple Palace. If they use less of it, and the battle lasts too long, they may end up with only five spiritual energies left.
But this won’t happen after the Nascent Soul stage, because when the Nascent Soul casts spells, it utilizes the spiritual energy from the outside world, and only needs a tiny bit of guidance from itself, so the consumption is not big. That’s why it is said that there is almost no situation of exhaustion in the Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, battles in the Nascent Soul stage are often more dangerous, and it is common for one defeat to lead to a complete loss. Unless it is a life-and-death battle, most of the time there will be no results.
Cheng Hui listened to Uncle Gui's introduction, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Wow! So I'm so powerful now? Can I punch my way to the foundation building stage, step on the golden elixir, and reach the pinnacle of life?
However... Uncle Gui smiled slightly after hearing what he said, and then poured cold water on his head, saying, "You're thinking too much. Just go to bed."
Cheng Hui: ...
"Uncle Gui, didn't you say that spiritual power can be used without limit in the future?" He was still a little dissatisfied.
Uncle Ghost sneered, "Spiritual energy can indeed be used, but the question is... can your Dantian withstand it? If you absorb spiritual energy without restriction, aren't you afraid of bursting yourself?"
After listening to the explanation again, Cheng Hui realized that he had made a misunderstanding.
This Glazed Clear Body is indeed a good thing, not all of them even Nascent Soul cultivators have it, but the problem is that he is too weak.
A Nascent Soul cultivator can absorb a huge amount of spiritual power with one breath, and can naturally make good use of it with his own Nascent Soul.
But he didn't even have a golden elixir in his dantian. Without such a conversion tool, if he dared to absorb various spiritual energies without restriction, his dantian would explode.
"After saying so much, this Glazed Clear Body is of no use to me." Cheng Hui wilted.
I disagreed with getting a physique that sounded awesome, only to find it was useless. Isn't that infuriating?
"How can it be useless?" Uncle Ghost said earnestly, "Not to mention that your cultivation efficiency will be faster than before, just the endless supply of spiritual energy is enough to make you smile secretly."
"What's the use?" Cheng Hui asked humbly.
"Of course it's best to use it on the forbidden magic battlefield." Uncle Gui said righteously.
What the hell?
Forbidden Magic Battlefield? It doesn't sound like a good thing.
The corner of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. Seeing that Uncle Gui was so excited about the clothes, it was not easy to go against his wishes. He could only ask what it was out of courtesy.
Uncle Gui immediately explained to him the place called the Forbidden Demon Battlefield.
It is a place for disciples from major sects to train, and it can only be opened once every fifty years.
There are countless entrances and exits there, including all the worlds. So far - no, it should be said that in the era when Uncle Gui was still alive, a total of four entrances and exits were discovered in the Xuanheng World.
In other words, in the entire Xuanheng Realm, there are only four hundred people who have the opportunity to enter there every fifty years, which shows how precious this opportunity is.
According to Uncle Gui, the four entrances and exits are currently controlled by different forces, either the righteous Tianlan Sword Sect, the evil Blood Shadow Sect, and one is in the hands of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
They control this Forbidden Magic Battlefield, but they cannot control all the places. They must distribute the profits. There are also people outside who are secretly selling places in the Forbidden Magic Battlefield.
"Huh?" Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment. "If a spot in the Forbidden Demon Battlefield is so valuable, why would anyone want to sell it?"
Uncle Gui suddenly laughed. "Kid, everything in this world has a price. The Forbidden Demon Battlefield is certainly a great opportunity, but it depends on the individual. For example, a sword cultivator will definitely see a great improvement there, but if an alchemy cultivator goes there, they might lose their life if they're not careful."
"Instead of risking his life in the Dao, wouldn't it be better for him to exchange his ticket to the Forbidden Demon Battlefield for precious materials to refine an elixir?"
Cheng Hui nodded thoughtfully.
Battlefield, battlefield, since it is called a battlefield, it must be more inclined towards fighting.
Among cultivators, not every one is good at fighting, so it is natural to use this ticket to exchange for treasures that are more beneficial to oneself.
"So Uncle Ghost means... I should go?"
"You're not just supposed to go, you must go," Ghost Uncle declared. "Cultivating Taoism is about going against the will of Heaven. If you're afraid of even fighting, why are you still cultivating Taoism? Go home and start selling sweet potatoes."
Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. You just said that those people were excusable.
Uncle Ghost rolled his eyes at him. "Just because something is excusable doesn't mean it's right. Cultivating the Tao is like sailing against the current; if you don't stop, you'll retreat. If your goal is just to enjoy a few hundred years of blissful life, then I won't advise you. But if you have the ambition to ascend to heaven, then the Forbidden Demon Battlefield is the only way for you."
Uncle Ghost asserted, "For cultivators, the higher your cultivation, the harder it is to advance. Natural resources and treasures are limited. If you get them, others will lose them. If you don't fight for them, how can you cultivate immortality?"
"Okay! I'll go!"
Cheng Hui actually understood that Uncle Gui had sent him to the Forbidden Demon Battlefield for his own good. Ultimately, it was because he lacked enough experience and a certain kind of...imposing presence.
Momentum is a very subtle thing. Sometimes it is useful, and sometimes it is not.
Cheng Hui still remembered the year when he fought in the swamp. He had a kind of momentum in his heart, but that momentum was still very weak and was almost worn away by the ten years of peace. That was why Uncle Gui specifically asked him to fight in the forbidden magic battlefield and try to cultivate that kind of momentum again.
The Forbidden Demon Battlefield, just by hearing the name you know that it must be very complicated. In addition, every time someone enters there are outstanding disciples from various forces. When he meets those people there, whether it is cooperation or fighting, he can gain some good results.
Cheng Hui slowly lowered his eyelids. Uncle Gui also specifically emphasized that the Forbidden Demon Battlefield is located in the void, and the entrances and exits connected to the myriad realms, so all races can be encountered in it.
Some are kind to humans and can form alliances, but some feed on humans, so forming alliances is also a way out.
In short, no matter what, you can only understand the specific situation after you go there.
There is less than half a year left until the Forbidden Demon Battlefield opens, and he...
Cheng Hui looked up at the sky.
At some point, the place was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
Silver lightning flickered in the thunderclouds, poised to strike—
Someone is about to go through a tribulation.
Golden Elixir Tribulation!
