Chapter 107: Divine Image, Cultivating Martial Arts (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"But soon everyone realized this martial art was inefficient, especially with the thin primordial energy on our Blue Planet."
"Continuing like this, it might take decades before producing high-realm martial artists."
"Later, the Red Emperor, the strongest in our world, discovered that disaster beasts at the middle realm and above would automatically absorb ambient primordial energy just by sleeping, without even trying."
"The higher their rank, the stronger this effect became."
"It was dozens of times more efficient than the breathing techniques humans had created."
"These disaster beasts seemed favored by the universe itself, their very bodies containing the mysteries and laws of heaven and earth."
"So the Red Emperor unleashed humanity's greatest strength - observation. He studied the breathing patterns of the level-eight disaster beast Lava Finch, examining the textures within its flesh, muscles, tendons, and bones, then visualizing the Lava Finch through mental imagery."
"Finally, he successfully created humanity's first true primordial energy martial art - the 'Lava Finch Evolution Method'."
"From then on, various primordial energy martial arts were gradually created, allowing human martial arts to make qualitative leaps and successfully resist disaster beast invasions."
Lin Qi suddenly understood after hearing this. So this primordial energy martial art had such an origin.
No wonder the Red Emperor was the strongest in the world, having created the 'Lava Finch Evolution Method' from nothing.
Then just how high was his innate talent?
"During research, they discovered that the higher the rank of the disaster beast visualized, the better the absorption of primordial energy and the strengthening effect on the body."
"For martial artists breaking through the Second Realm, level-eight disaster beasts represented their limit." The white-robed elder continued explaining.
Lin Qi nodded. In the secret techniques, evolution methods visualizing level-eight disaster beasts were rated five stars, while those using level-seven disaster beasts were four stars.
As for why they didn't visualize level-nine (King-level) disaster beasts, it was because the human spirit was too fragile at lower realms to withstand such visualization.
That was already the domain of middle-realm martial artists.
There had been a genius who once tried forcefully visualizing the level-nine disaster beast Hearthquake Dragon Elephant, but ended up severely mentally damaged, turning into an idiot.
This painful lesson made future generations cautious.
"Now, I'll explain the cultivation method of the 'Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method'." The white-robed elder began the key explanation.
"Sit cross-legged, hands forming the Five Hearts to Sky Posture!"
"Relax your entire body, calm your heart, adjust your breathing, two short breaths followed by one long breath..."
"Remove all distracting thoughts, focus your mind completely..."
Following the elder's instructions, Lin Qi sat cross-legged, hands forming the Five Hearts to Sky Posture.
He calmed his heart, removed all distracting thoughts, and adjusted his breathing.
Step by step, he proceeded methodically.
Soon his mind entered a clear and transparent state, like a calm lake in his mind with no ripples.
"Next, use your willpower to connect with the Obsidian Radiance Stone and activate the Golden Vajra Tiger's Divine Image!"
Hearing the elder's words, Lin Qi felt puzzled.
"Willpower was intangible and silent. How was he supposed to direct it?"
He could only rely on feeling, locking onto the Obsidian Radiance Stone's position in the darkness, imagining his willpower forming arms trying to touch it.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion resounded in his mind.
Inside the martial arts training hall, Xiaochan's projection only saw the Obsidian Radiance Stone suddenly light up.
A golden beam shot out, entering Lin Qi's mind.
...
At the same time,
In an empty martial arts training hall in a villa within the Affluent District.
The muscular Li Zhou took off his sweat-soaked martial arts uniform, touching the scars remaining on his chest.
"Two days later, after using several tubes of healing elixirs, my injuries are finally completely recovered."
He sat cross-legged, suddenly thinking of Lin Qi.
"Lin Qi should be cultivating primordial energy martial arts now."
"I originally spent six hours using carefully prepared premium incense before removing distracting thoughts."
"And establishing the Divine Image took me three days of visualization before finally seeing success."
"I wonder how long it will take him?"
Thinking this, Li Zhou soon refocused on his training.
This time during Wan Da's disaster beast tide, he had seen the gap between himself and Lin Qi. His only advantage was his Vital Energy Stat, and he couldn't let that be surpassed.
...
In the top floor office of the Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion.
Yue Feng looked out the window as a crimson transport vehicle departed, disappearing from sight.
"Lin Qi's Divine Image has been delivered. He should be starting his cultivation attempts now."
"Old Sun, as a fifth-realm martial artist, how long did it take you to visualize it?"
Yue Feng asked Sun Manager, sitting on the sofa nearby.
Sun Manager shook his head. "I'm no genius. It took me two full days just to remove distracting thoughts."
"Then it took another week to completely visualize the Divine Image."
Yue Feng looked at the buildings outside as he recalled, "I remember spending four hours removing distracting thoughts, then two days to successfully visualize."
"My first primordial energy martial arts cultivation increased my Vital Energy Stat by 1.0."
"How long do you think Lin Qi will need to successfully visualize and begin formal cultivation of primordial energy martial arts?"
Sun Manager spoke, "Probably not as fast as the director!"
Yue Feng shook his head, "He should be about my level!"
...
Meanwhile, in the B123 Martial Arts Training Hall, everything was peaceful.
"Roar!"
But in Lin Qi's mind, it felt like his brain would explode. A sky-shaking tiger roar filled his consciousness.
He suddenly opened his eyes, seemingly entering a pitch-black void.
Before his eyes appeared a massive creature - a disaster beast in tiger form. Its body was as large as a small mountain, over fifty meters in length.
Its muscles were bulging, its lines as hard as iron castings. Its fur looked like it was cast from gold.
Each hair resembled golden needles, flashing with metallic luster.
Its head was huge and majestic, its bloody maw filled with sharp teeth like crisscrossing cold blades.
Its four limbs were thick and powerful, seemingly capable of tearing apart earth and sky. Its tail behind was like a massive golden whip, able to shatter anything in its path.
Lin Qi's eyes widened. This was the level-eight disaster beast - Golden Vajra Tiger!
Among level-eight disaster beasts, it was among the most powerful. Before it, he felt as insignificant as dust.
Regaining his senses, Lin Qi immediately memorized every detail of the Golden Vajra Tiger. This was the Divine Image.
Visualizing a disaster beast and presenting it as a Divine Image.
"Whoosh!!"
Moments later, the Golden Vajra Tiger dispersed and returned into the Obsidian Radiance Stone.
The still-entranced Lin Qi returned to the martial arts training hall.
He immediately closed his eyes and began visualizing the Golden Vajra Tiger within his consciousness space.
His memory was excellent, having already grasped the general outline.
He calmed his excited heart after seeing the Golden Vajra Tiger.
In the void of his consciousness, he used his willpower like a brush to sketch the form of the Golden Vajra Tiger.
He completely immersed himself in it.
A few minutes later, Lin Qi opened his eyes with a frown.
"Failed!"
Just as he was sketching the tiger's body, his mind had wandered for a moment, causing the entire form to dissipate.
"Using spiritual will as a brush to sketch the lines of the Golden Vajra Tiger, there are a total of 36,000 strokes."
"During visualization, one must complete it in one go without any mistakes or omissions." The white-robed elder continued in the video.
"Huff~"
Lin Qi adjusted his mindset and resumed visualization.
He focused his entire willpower, entering a strange state.
The form of the Golden Vajra Tiger was continuously outlined.
An hour later, Lin Qi opened his eyes again, once more observing the Divine Image before attempting visualization again.
With massive spiritual consumption, he took revitalizing elixirs.
Eventually, he even used advanced revitalizing elixirs to keep his spirit in an excited state.
"Almost there, almost there!"
Lin Qi mentally urged himself.
He had a premonition - today, he would succeed in visualization.
