“The path of immortal cultivation is mainly about mastering the great Dao.”
“The path of magic is mainly about dissecting the laws.”
“The power of Qi and Blood is mainly about creating one’s own world.”
“Although all roads lead to Rome, and the end of all extraordinary systems is eternal immortality, the specific methods and approaches are still different.”
Pingshui County.
Top floor of the official residence.
The wooden window is wide open, and a strong wind blows into the room, causing Xu Xi’s robe to flutter loudly.
Xu Xi sits cross-legged, looking down at his right hand, watching his fingers clench and then relax, the roaring force causing the air to hiss.
Continuously, air waves shoot out from between his fingers.
“Compared to when I first broke through to the Innate Realm, my current strength has clearly increased several times.”
“If we include Gang Qi, the gap in strength would probably be even more exaggerated.”
Xu Xi lowers his head in deep thought.
The changes are certainly related to the growth of his Qi and Blood.
But more crucially, it’s because Xu Xi has observed the principles of the world, making the way his Qi and Blood circulates closer to the natural order, resulting in such a massive increase.
“External forces are weak, flesh and blood ascend.”
“Tools are unreliable, the body becomes sacred.”
“The path of martial arts is becoming more and more interesting.”
Xu Xi laughs heartily, officially beginning to break through his realm, replacing the will of heaven with his own will in the path of martial arts.
The Qi and Blood circulation formed by imitating the external world.
Inherently possesses “inertia.”
That is the operation of heaven and earth, the order of the alternation of all things in the world, and what Xu Xi must do now is to completely replace it with his own will, becoming the master of his own Qi and Blood.
Not an operator, but a master.
“Rise!”
The Qi and Blood roar like thunder.
Like a wildly surging tide.
Over and over, it washes over Xu Xi’s internal organs, soaking every inch of his flesh and blood.
“To step into the Innate Realm, reversing from the Postnatal to the Innate, is actually not that difficult.”
“Most of the effort lies in the accumulation of Qi and Blood.”
“But the Three Innate Stages are different.”
“Each stage’s transformation, each stage’s strengthening, is not only tied to the martial artist’s Qi and Blood but also intertwined with every aspect of the martial artist.”
“It’s no longer something that can be explained by mere comprehension or bone structure.”
“But by a deeper level of will and spirit.”
“With my experience in immortal cultivation and magic, plus the Perseverance trait, it’s not that difficult for me.”
Xu Xi murmurs to himself.
The Qi and Blood within him roar even more turbulently.
In a daze, there seems to be a sound of something cracking, crackling one after another, forming a series of explosions.
Now is the time!
At the moment the Qi and Blood circulation collapses.
The martial soul that Xu Xi has been nurturing for a long time forcefully takes control of every strand of Qi and Blood, halting the instinct to recover, forcing it to stop.
“Great Grandmaster of Martial Arts, breaking through in an instant!”
Xu Xi slightly closes his eyes.
When he opens them again, the Qi and Blood within him, which he had restrained, suddenly begins to circulate rapidly.
Spinning.
Intertwining.
Like a true world, beginning an endless self-circulation, firmly controlled by Xu Xi’s will.
Eyes like lightning, light fills the empty room.
Bones and tendons resonate, thunder rumbles.
With every move, there is a vast and mighty power.
“This breakthrough is somewhat similar to becoming a Grand Magister in the magic system.”
“One is about controlling elements.”
“The other is about controlling Qi and Blood.”
“But the two take completely different paths.”
“Becoming a Grand Magister allows one to initially control the power of the world’s elements; becoming a Soul Nurturing Grandmaster allows one to control the inner world of Qi and Blood.”
“This feeling gives a sense of infinite déjà vu.”
Xu Xi sits in place for a long time.
Continuously familiarizing himself with the surging power of Qi and Blood within him.
And the changes in his own strength after the martial soul enters the Qi and Blood world.
On the top floor of the official residence, the wind becomes even more tumultuous.
It’s not a wind from the outside.
But the real fluctuations caused by Xu Xi spreading his palm, the intangible Gang Qi appearing and disappearing in his palm.
“Whoosh~~~”
“Whoosh!!!”
The wind howls, blowing things around the room into disarray.
Until Xu Xi disperses the Gang Qi in his hand.
The top floor of the official residence returns to calm.
“Not as versatile as immortal cultivation and magic, but in terms of pure physical strength, it has reached an unimaginable level,” Xu Xi gives his final evaluation.
When he was in the Observation of Principles stage, Xu Xi’s innate Gang Qi mixed with the Nine Thunder Saber, forming a thunderous saber Gang Qi.
Now.
As Xu Xi breaks through to the Soul Nurturing Realm, completely controlling the circulation of the Qi and Blood world.
The original Thunderous Saber Gang Qi returns to its simple and unadorned form.
It’s not empty or void.
But the beginning of all things.
Now, no matter where Xu Xi is, the Qi and Blood world within him connects with his entire body, forming an eternally burning furnace, bringing endless power.
The so-called fist techniques, the so-called saber techniques, are just one of the many changes.
“Previously, when I read the classics, I never saw the Soul Nurturing Realm having such abilities.”
“Logically, the Qi and Blood world of the Soul Nurturing Realm varies from person to person, closely related to the martial artist themselves.”
“So that’s it…”
“It’s the Perseverance trait and the Martial Practice trait.”
Xu Xi suddenly understands.
His strength in the Soul Nurturing Realm is somewhat overpowered.
Normal Soul Nurturing martial artists would be weaker, and they wouldn’t have such extraordinary divine abilities like the Furnace of All Things.
“But…”
“Even without Perseverance and Martial Practice, without the help of these two traits, the Qi and Blood world of a Soul Nurturing martial artist is already impressive enough.”
“The self-circulation of the world almost elevates the Soul Nurturing martial artist to an unprecedented height.”
“This is something that martial artists in the Observation of Principles stage and body tempering martial artists can hardly imagine.”
Xu Xi stands up.
Flicks his arm lightly.
Another gust of wind is generated out of thin air, blowing away all the mess he had created earlier.
Looking at the clean top floor again, Xu Xi glances outside, where the autumn colors of Pingshui Town are gradually deepening, turning orange and yellow.
But Xu Xi isn’t looking at that.
But further.
Far in the Great Qian Imperial Capital, far in the Ten Thousand Mountains, far in the vast shadows hidden among the countless mountains and rivers.
“The first stage of the Innate Realm grants the ability to walk on air.”
“The second stage of the Innate Realm, with endless Qi and Blood, the world forms and the body becomes eternal.”
“The third stage of the Innate Realm, although I haven’t reached it yet, I can somewhat imagine its grandeur.”
“The Qi and Blood martial arts of humanity are not weak, and with this trend of continuous development, even the sky-covering demons and monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains can be fought.”
“But why…”
“Since the establishment of the Great Qian, they have been sending ‘criminals’ to the borderlands.”
“And why do the demons and monsters of the Ten Thousand Mountains only form demon tides to prey during spring and winter, and never penetrate deep into the Great Qian.”
“Is it just a simple tacit agreement or pact?”
“Or is there a greater secret hidden?”
Xu Xi steps downstairs.
He vaguely senses that, just like the gods sealing the heavens and locking the earth in the magic world, there are also unknown secrets hidden in this martial arts world.
This world has problems.
