Chapter 768: Harnessing Yin and Yang to Merge with Divine Qi, the Heavenly Gate Holds the Mystic Secrets
Among the two methods of breaking through the barrier, the "Mind-Stabilizing" technique can mobilize about sixty to seventy percent of the body's strength to break free from the cage, which is already impressive. However, the "Divine Self Unity" method can achieve over ninety percent.
The peril lies in the fact that this method leaves no room for compromise, pushing one upwards relentlessly, with no turning back.
Even with Chen Chuan's current foundation, as his life energy continuously fuels his spirit's growth, his body shows signs of fatigue, and his once lustrous skin temporarily loses its radiance.
In exchange, his spirit becomes as solid as a tangible entity.
When this spirit, guided by his will, ascends according to the technique, he immediately senses ubiquitous assaults. Countless strange shadows, both real and illusory, swarm towards him, tempting and luring him, attempting to hinder his spirit's ascent. Above, numerous entities seem to watch and covet, waiting for him to walk into their trap.
Even within his own world, this situation is inevitable. In the opposing world, the challenges are undoubtedly greater, and with almost no support from his second self, he must endure it all on his own.
These invasions are both external attacks and nourishment for his advancement. Each infiltration is a lesson, and each time, his spirit undergoes a transformation. As long as his life energy isn't completely depleted during this process, he will eventually achieve the ultimate transformation.
Currently, he is not without protection. On one side, the radiant aura shields him, and on the other, the shell-like object continuously emits support, swiftly replenishing his consumption and maintaining the upward momentum of his spirit.
At this moment, he must muster all his strength and break through the barrier. If he fails or lacks the necessary foundation, he will need to abandon or embrace a particular trait to propel his spirit further.
However, Chen Chuan doesn't need to resort to such measures.
With his experiences and enhancements, he is already capable of entering the top thirty, or even the top ten, in the world rankings. Such individuals have a reasonable chance of entering that realm without sacrificing anything. Now, with his strength doubled, his original power alone is sufficient to shatter that barrier.
His spirit gradually ascends, and throughout the journey, he doesn't sense any weakness or lack of energy. The uplifting momentum remains undiminished, and in an instant, he reaches the pinnacle. The next moment, his formidable spirit forcefully breaks through the barrier!
His spirit trembles, and in that instant, all the surrounding entities watching him seem to be left behind. For a moment, they vanish, and he feels as if he has entered a brand new world, where his spirit merges and harmonizes with the surroundings, almost becoming one with it. It's as if he has shed all external burdens, feeling refreshed and liberated, with a sense of clarity and freedom.
However, his original body remains, and he must return his spirit to it, carrying this body to transcendence. At this moment, a thought suddenly arises, urging him to abandon this body and seek ultimate freedom.
This is a natural impulse after the spirit's transformation, a desire to shed the burden of the original self, as mentioned in the technique as "Heart's Obsession."
The human mind is filled with countless thoughts, and amidst all the changes, the primary concern is self-preservation. Now that the spirit has transformed and become the "outer self," it's natural for it to have its own desires and intentions, which are inevitable.
The spirit, after all, originates from the physical body. If one abandons this primary attachment, they may exist for a while in this realm, but without a solid foundation, it will be challenging to sustain oneself. Even if external influences are temporarily kept at bay, they will inevitably return, constantly attacking and weakening, leading to an inevitable dissolution.
Perhaps one could choose to attach oneself to certain entities here, but that would mean losing one's identity and becoming inferior. In the end, it would not be a satisfactory outcome, and one would no longer possess their original wisdom.
Understanding this, the spirit naturally returns. Thus, in the essential instructions, this is referred to as "Dispersing Qi, Refining Intent, and Transcending the Old Self, the Second Barrier of Inner and Outer Cultivation."
Chen Chuan doesn't allow his spirit to act recklessly. He conveys the advantages and disadvantages to his mind, instantly dispelling the impulse to abandon everything. With ease, he withdraws his spirit, allowing it to sink back into his body.
This is the final step, known as "Lifting Vital Energy to Achieve True Transformation, the Third Barrier of Vitality Irrigation." Once this step is completed, with the transformation of Yin and Yang, light will emanate from within, illuminating both the inner and outer, unifying the spirit and self.
As his spirit nourishes his body, he feels a tremor, and a white mist seems to burst from his head, gathering above like a cloud. Then, strands of light, like rain or dew, gently fall.
The altered tissue momentarily rejoices, greedily absorbing the nourishment brought by the spirit, and using this newfound energy to assist the body in its final transformation.
Within a short while, his slightly thin body regains its fullness. However, his skin begins to crack, and small pieces start to peel off, scattering into countless tiny fragments.
After this shedding, a new, lustrous, jade-like skin emerges, with a faint glow resembling a layer of luminescence.
His hair also grows slightly longer, appearing ink-dyed, shimmering with a radiant sheen. Although he remains the same person, he now exudes a renewed vitality.
As the cloud above dissipates, merging into his body, Chen Chuan opens his eyes, and a brilliant light flashes in his gaze. Simultaneously, a subtle glow emanates from his entire body.
With the completion of the three trials, at this moment, he had officially entered the ranks of fighters.
The Tai Bai Jing Guan states, "Harnessing Yin and Yang to Merge Divine Qi, entering the Heavenly Gate bears the Mystic Secrets." Hence, this realm is named "Bearing the Mystic Secrets"!
He glanced at the light in his hand. In the past, he had to rely on his spirit to draw upon the power of the other world, but now, as a fighter, his spirit and body had undergone a transformation, their essence was fundamentally different. This power had become an innate and spontaneous force within him.
The extent of a fighter's psychic power depended on their innate talent and their cultivation after achieving their realm. Even without being told, he knew that the strength and weakness of this power would directly influence a fighter's combat prowess.
Each fighter's psychic power was unique. Before, when drawing power from the other world, it was the same for everyone, with no fundamental differences. But now, as it was drawn from their own bodies, it carried their personal imprint, much like Heart Energy, which also varied from person to person. At this stage, the power and Heart Energy were indistinguishable.
So, what about my power...
As he pondered, a loud boom reverberated, and he looked up. The cracks in front of him were widening, some as wide as a finger.
Clearly, in just this short time, the person on the other side was about to break through the barrier.
Chen Chuan stood up slowly, his gaze calm and focused on the front. As the tremors intensified, cracking sounds echoed, and several cracks widened, unable to hold, revealing a gap like a broken tooth.
Through this gap, he could see the massive figure of the Armored General.
The Armored General's eyes, hidden behind the face mask, seemed to have spotted Chen Chuan standing amidst the light on the other side. Initially, there was no movement, but in the next moment, a loud boom sounded, and a palm forcefully widened the narrow gap, reaching towards Chen Chuan's location.
However, the hand stopped halfway, abruptly halted by a fist pressing against it from the other side, blocking it firmly.
The Armored General's eyes, hidden behind the mask, showed surprise, then turned fierce. He immediately clenched his five fingers, attempting to crush the fist and the arm behind it.
But as he tried to crush the fist, the Armored General's body shook, and the black aura around him flickered. He took a step back, slowly retreating from the gap, and then, from within the crack, a fist wrapped in golden liquid pushed against his palm and extended outwards.
The golden liquid swirled and flashed, flowing from the fist to the arm and then to the tall figure behind it. Finally, like igniting something, a loud boom erupted, and a dense, golden flame-like light rose.
The tall figure pushed the massive palm forward, taking steps that caused the ground to crack and collapse. The golden liquid seeped into the ground's cracks, turning into a thick white mist that rose and spread.
The barrier that separated the two worlds seemed like a fragile wall under the impact, cracking open, and a bright, dazzling light burst forth. Along with it, the relic's light and aura, which had disappeared for a moment, reappeared. As soon as it reached the outside, it soared into the sky once more.
On the other side, Yao Zhiyi, Xiaowan, and Zhao Zhenye, the three fighters, sensed the disturbance and turned their eyes towards the source. They saw a tall figure amidst the bright light and mist, with golden liquid flowing like molten rock down his back, forming a large aura. Their eyes widened in surprise—was this another fighter?
Chen Chuan stepped outside, lightly punching the air, causing the golden light and the Armored General's black smoke to explode outwards. The general stumbled back several steps and finally knelt, his body shaking with the impact, before coming to a halt.
After a brief pause, the Armored General abruptly raised his head, and his body charged forward, shaking the ground. Even before he reached Chen Chuan, their fields of energy collided, and the light where they met shattered into countless cracks, like lightning spreading. But the black flame light was the first to shatter.
In the next instant, a loud boom sounded, and the Armored General's massive body was smashed away, flying like a cannonball and bouncing on the distant ground before finally coming to a stop in a large crater.
Chen Chuan maintained his forward-punching stance, looking at the Armored General half-buried in the muddy dust. He glanced at the general and said, "Your power is too weak."
