Chapter 68: Breakthrough to the Innate Realm
Chapter 68: Breakthrough to the Innate Realm (End of Prologue)
In Yunshan County, Li Xuan observed Meng Chong's diligent training with satisfaction. Every day, he could sense the strengthening of Meng Chong's physical body.
"Meng Chong's physique is growing stronger by the day. He won't be far from tempering his copper bones, and tempering golden bones should be well within his reach.
"As for the Diamond-Glass Bones, that might be a bit more challenging."
The cultivation technique he had taught Xu Yan was, after all, a fabrication with no basis in reality. It had been entirely up to Xu Yan to fill in the gaps and perfect it on his own. Naturally, his path to cultivation was more difficult than Meng Chong's.
Xu Yan had managed to temper his Jade Bones by fighting and killing a Fire-Maned Wolf, breaking through the shackles that had been holding him back.
If Meng Chong wanted to temper Diamond-Glass Bones, he would likely need to push himself to the limit and break through similar shackles.
"Where can I find a Fire-Maned Wolf? In the Endless Great Mountains?"
Li Xuan fell into deep thought. "It doesn't necessarily have to be a Fire-Maned Wolf. What's important for a breakthrough is breaking through those shackles, so..."
An idea came to mind, one that might help Meng Chong break through his limitations and temper the Diamond-Glass Bones.
"I wonder how long it will take for Meng Chong to temper his Golden Bones. Probably not too long, I'd say within a month."
Li Xuan speculated on Meng Chong's cultivation progress.
"Once Meng Chong enters the door of martial arts, I'll be able to obtain the Diamond-Glass Bones. Jade Bones plus Diamond-Glass Bones... Just how powerful will that be?"
Thinking about the benefits he would gain from Meng Chong's progress, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel excited.
When Shi Er had free time, he also cultivated diligently. Now, he had already sensed Qi and blood and was preparing to refine his skin.
"Indeed, talent is also necessary in martial arts. Shi Er's talent is far inferior to that of Meng Chong and Xu Yan."
Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh as he observed Shi Er's cultivation speed.
Even with the spread of martial arts, the number of people who could successfully cultivate and enter the door might not be that high. However, with a large number of practitioners, the absolute number of those who succeeded wouldn't be negligible.
Suddenly—
A golden light appeared.
"Your disciple Xu Yan has reached the pinnacle of the Qi and Blood Realm. Your Qi and blood double!"
Boom!
Qi and blood surged within his body, instantly doubling.
Li Xuan was overjoyed. Xu Yan had already reached the pinnacle of Qi and blood, and he was not far from perfection.
The next step was to break through to the Innate Realm.
The second realm of martial arts that he had fabricated—the Innate Realm—was a true departure from the mundane. It allowed one to control Qi and fly through the air, covering a hundred miles in an instant! This was the true manifestation of a martial arts powerhouse!
While it was possible to soar through the air in the Qi and Blood Realm, it was not the same as soaring into the sky. The two were completely different.
"After accepting a new disciple, the feedback from the golden finger now includes the disciple's name."
Li Xuan noticed the change in the information feedback from the golden finger.
"I wonder if Xu Yan will be able to perfect his Qi and blood within a month?"
Li Xuan fell into deep thought.
Given Xu Yan's cultivation speed, he should be able to perfect his Qi and blood within a month.
The question was whether he would be able to comprehend the Innate Realm cultivation technique.
"I hope he succeeds. Don't let your master down, disciple!"
Li Xuan had high hopes for Xu Yan.
"Your disciple Xu Yan has successfully comprehended the Innate Realm cultivation technique you created. You have broken through to the Innate Realm!"
Suddenly, golden light appeared.
In that instant, Li Xuan felt his Qi and blood throughout his body refining into Innate True Qi.
Boom, boom, boom...
It was as if thunder was rumbling within his body, and a profound feeling arose in his heart, as if he could connect with the heavens and earth and sense the existence of their spiritual energy.
The Heavenly Bridge had been connected!
Boom!
As he guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, a storm seemed to rage within him, and his dantian's qi sea opened up.
At this moment, Li Xuan was completely immersed in the mysteries of his breakthrough.
The cultivation technique of the Innate Realm emerged in his heart, and it was incredibly profound.
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered his body, the vast Qi and blood within him refined into Innate True Qi. His physical body underwent a transformation, as if it had detached itself from the mortal world, and the dust of the world was washed away.
With the Heavenly Bridge connected, it was as if he had tapped into the very essence of the universe, sensing and drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
He cultivated his qi sea, refining the innate true qi within.
His physical form underwent a metamorphosis, his bones transformed, and he achieved a state of purity, free from the taint of the mortal realm.
In this moment, it was as if all the grime of the mundane world had been washed away, returning him to a pristine, innate state.
Li Xuan remained seated, appearing no different than before, with no outward signs of his breakthrough.
Only he knew that he had crossed a great divide, stepping into the realm of the Innate.
"So this is the Innate Realm!"
Li Xuan's heart raced as he sensed his newfound state.
What a brilliant disciple!
Xu Yan had actually managed to comprehend the Innate Realm cultivation technique in advance, and the golden finger had directly provided feedback on his own Innate Realm strength!
So, even if Xu Yan hadn't broken through to the Innate Realm yet, as long as he comprehended the technique, the golden finger would still provide the corresponding feedback.
Since Xu Yan had comprehended the cultivation technique, it was only a matter of time before he broke through.
Li Xuan guided the heavenly energy into his body, feeling the storm-like power flowing through the Heavenly Bridge. He was excited, but also puzzled.
Why did the heavenly energy feel a bit harsh and unyielding?
If it weren't for the Heavenly Bridge connecting him to the heavens, he might not have been able to withstand the influx of spiritual energy.
"Heavenly energy can cause one's strength to surge, it is a powerful force, so it makes sense that it wouldn't be gentle."
Li Xuan didn't think too much of the unyielding nature of the heavenly energy. As long as it existed and he could continue cultivating, growing stronger, that was all that mattered.
Whether it was gentle or not didn't concern him, as it wouldn't cause any harm.
"The Innate Realm transcends the mundane. I can say with certainty that I am no longer an ordinary mortal.
"Pure and untainted, free from the grime of the mortal realm, as long as I have heavenly energy, I need not eat or drink."
Li Xuan's heart raced with excitement. This was just the second realm of his fabricated martial arts system, and it was already so powerful.
Those who reached the Innate Realm could absorb and emit heavenly energy, and no longer needed to eat.
"How long can those in the Innate Realm live? What is their lifespan?"
Li Xuan fell into deep thought. Cultivating martial arts naturally extended one's lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even those in the Qi and Blood Realm could expect an extended lifespan.
However, there was no fixed number for how long one could live.
"The lifespan of those in the Qi and Blood Realm won't be short, especially after refining their Jade Bones... Let me think about this further."
Li Xuan closed his eyes, his mind calm and clear, as he silently calculated the changes in the Qi and Blood Realm, as well as the transformations that occurred after breaking through to the Innate Realm, in order to determine the limit of one's lifespan.
"After refining the internal organs, one's organs become stronger, vitality increases, and lifespan is greatly extended beyond that of ordinary people... So, generally, those in the Qi and Blood Realm can live for two to three hundred years.
"With Golden Bones, the lifespan is even longer, at least three hundred years, and with Jade Bones, perhaps five hundred years?"
Li Xuan was shocked. Had he miscalculated? Could it be that just by reaching the initial stages of martial arts, one could live for so long?
"I'm basing this on the changes that occur in the body after beginning martial arts training and the rate at which qi and blood deplete. It shouldn't be too far off. So, those in the Innate Realm should be able to live for over a thousand years?
"I've really outdone myself with this martial arts system. The second realm alone grants a lifespan of over a thousand years."
Li Xuan was thrilled. In this moment, he had a strong intuition that the lifespan of those who cultivated martial arts had been predetermined!
His calculations were correct! Perhaps this intuition was a result of the feedback from the golden finger.
