In the deepest retreat room, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him, a bloody ruler was circling and flying around him, showing a sense of agility. This was not controlled by Chen Mu, it was just that the magic weapon was spinning on its own.
His spirituality is so strong that he is almost self-aware.
certainly.
This is just its appearance.
Although the Blood Jade Ruler is extremely agile, it does not have the ability to communicate with people. Although its spirituality is high, there is still a fundamental gap between it and 'spiritual wisdom'.
But even so, this magic weapon still amazed Chen Mu. He spent nearly half a month to only preliminary refine this magic weapon.
However, his level of refining is already much deeper than that of Death Li.
Death Li is just a human-level great demon. There is already a level gap between him and a second-grade magician in terms of realm. What's more, in terms of exploring the Dao Mark, there is a fundamental difference between heaven and earth.
The previous refining of Death Li could be said to be extremely rough. He only forcibly used his own breath to infect and control it, but he knew nothing about the specific structure and Dao marks of this magical weapon.
It's like a crossbow. It's supposed to shoot the crossbow, but the way it's used is like swinging the crossbow to hit people!
"My previous judgment should be correct. The magician lineage should have a complete training system, and this magical weapon is an extension of that training system."
"I just don't know why, but this cultivation system has not been spread in the world. I don't know how many magicians have been exploring it for thousands of years, but they haven't been able to catch any traces."
Chen Mu murmured in his heart.
If he was just skeptical before, now he is almost certain that there must be a magician's training system in this world, or something similar to a magician's training system.
This system is more complete than martial arts, and it is also broader than martial arts. It leads to a vast and unpredictable world. From this magical weapon, you can glimpse the tip of the iceberg.
But such a system has completely disappeared from the world now.
What exactly happened thousands of years ago?
After Chen Mu pacified Nanli, he also traveled around Nanli within a few days and explored many histories of Nanli. The history here can be traced back to about a thousand years ago. It is similar to Dayuan, and it also broke off at that location.
The history going forward is shrouded in fog, and the truth cannot be seen clearly.
Chen Mu finally shook his head.
Just a little bit.
The flying blood jade ruler suddenly stopped and then disappeared into his sleeves.
Just as he was about to stand up.
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in my ears.
Tip: You gained 22 soul points
Chen Mu was slightly startled by this sudden acquisition of soul points, but soon he thought of something, turned on his spiritual vision and glanced outside, and suddenly he showed a hint of surprise.
Li Chenxing has entered the product.
With him as a second-level magician as his teacher, and enjoying many resources in the Lu family, plus his extremely high talent and qualifications, in just over a month, he stepped into the ninth level of martial arts and passed the first level.
threshold.
Li Chenxing's realm has made a breakthrough, and the obsession involving his dead soul has naturally dissipated a little, so he has gained some more soul points.
After Chen Mu thought for a moment, he converged his gaze and called up the system interface.
Name: Chen Mu
Age:17
Force: the power of sixteen elephants
Heart and Soul: First Spirit lv48(+)
Soul points: 57 points
After pacifying Nanli, he gained a lot of soul points and raised his soul level to lv48, just a little short of lv49.
Li Chenxing's breakthrough allowed him to gain a little more. Together, it was just enough to add the last brick to his realm, allowing him to push the level of a second-grade magician to perfection.
There was no hesitation.
Chen Mu made a thought and directly chose promotion.
Buzz!
Accompanied by a flash of golden light.
It is that familiar cool texture that emerges from the depths of the heart and soul, nourishing the entire soul from the inside out, making it slowly move towards the peak of this level.
If Chen Mu's heart and soul power were described as a ball of water, then when he had just broken through to the second level, the ball of water was barely gathered into a round shape. Although it maintained the round shape, it was missing something. It was just
Maintain an outline.
But as the power of the heart and soul slowly increases, this round outline is gradually filled up.
Until this moment.
After the level of the heart and soul was raised from lv48 to lv49, the last brick of cultivation was added, and the entire heart and soul finally reached perfection. It no longer revolved around a round outline, but completely transformed itself into a round shape.
No more flaws.
However, this is just a mysterious and mysterious artistic conception. Although Chen Mu could barely find the word "perfect circle" to describe it, he still could not accurately describe it.
finally.
The heart and soul are stabilized again.
Chen Mu has also reached the pinnacle of the second-grade magician, and his heart and soul no longer have any flaws.
But at this time, something strange happened.
From the moment he entered the second level, Chen Mu could feel that he was gradually becoming more perfect with every small step he took. Especially at the previous step, the feeling was even stronger.
Theoretically speaking, after taking this step and reaching lv49, the soul should have completely stepped onto the last step and can feel the pure meaning of perfection.
But the truth is exactly the opposite!
After reaching this level, although the meaning of perfection is still there, the feeling of stepping towards perfection step by step has disappeared, and has been replaced by a strong sense of emptiness.
It is clear that he is a real flesh and blood body, and his heart and soul are perfect, but it seems that everything inside is an empty shell and nothingness.
"strangeness"
A strange color flashed in Chen Mu's eyes.
He did not feel that his power was weakening. Even after reaching the peak of the second-level magician, his soul power increased by at least 20%, which was another small leap.
However, the increase in strength did not bring a sense of satisfaction, but only a feeling of emptiness, as if there was something missing in his body, something that could be filled.
"Is it the realm of martial arts that is lacking?"
Chen Mu murmured.
I feel vaguely that it seems like this, but I also feel vaguely that it doesn't seem to be entirely the case.
Chen Mu's random thoughts made Chen Mu feel a little irritable, but he quickly calmed down and then took stock of his own condition.
His martial arts realm is only one step away from the fourth level.
Although it has only been two months since he entered the fifth level, during this time he has successively surpassed the third and second levels of magicians, and has never stopped tempering his physical body.
How powerful is the heart and soul of a second-grade magician?
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that can be mobilized sweeps almost ten miles around, and the speed of tempering the body has completely reached the endurance limit of the body itself!
For today's Chen Mu, he can even directly transform an ordinary person into a fourth-level body in just a few days!
But there is a prerequisite, that is, the body must be able to withstand this improvement.
This is obviously impossible.
It is impossible for anyone to bear it, not even a monster's body. Forcibly raising the height will only make the body go to unbearable extremes in a short period of time, and then completely collapse.
Therefore, Chen Mu also had to upgrade according to the endurance limit of his body, and to upgrade from the fifth level to the fourth level of martial arts, it would take his body nearly two months to gradually withstand it at the fastest.
A few days ago, Chen Mu's body had reached the threshold of the fourth level.
It's pretty much the same now.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mu finally sat down cross-legged and decided to upgrade his martial arts level to the fourth level and break the inhuman boundaries of the body.
Although the fourth level of martial arts was nothing to him, he vaguely felt that after breaking through this limit, some changes might occur.
Fourth grade.
An inhumane environment.
As the name suggests, this is the transformation from mortal to inhuman. Once this step is taken, the body will have all kinds of incredible abilities, such as being able to live without food, not eating or drinking, and only breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In addition, the martial arts will that has been sharpened since the sixth level will also be completely formed at the fourth level. Warriors define this step as 'stepping out on one's own path'!
Martial arts is a void concept.
Everyone's martial arts will is different.
The sixth level of martial arts is to decide on the prototype of martial arts of your own, the fifth level of martial arts is to complete this prototype, and the fourth level is to truly take that step forward and embark on the path you have set!
Chen Mu had long ago determined that the Heart Sword could perfectly replace martial arts will.
In other words, Heart Sword seems to be the upper level of martial arts will. Compared with the hazy and vague martial arts will, it is fundamentally purer and clearer.
Chen Muwei closed her eyes, opened her spiritual vision, and everything in her body came into view.
You can see that every blood vessel in his body is flowing with gurgling plasma. The thick true energy is constantly exhaled from the internal organs and penetrates the limbs along the meridians.
"Gather 1
Accompanied by Chen Mu's thoughts.
The thick true energy gathered from the limbs and bones towards the center of the body and came to the heart, as if it turned into a bright lamp, lighting up the entire heart.
Plop, plop,
Every beat of the heart becomes heavier, but every beat seems to cause the blood vessels and meridians throughout the body to light up, one bright and one dark.
I don't know how long it took.
The true energy in the heart seemed to be brewing to the limit, and it suddenly stretched out, from the heart to the spleen, then to the two lungs, then to the kidneys, and finally to the liver, and then returned to the heart.
Lighting up one by one according to the order of the five elements, the five internal organs in the body are like five bright lights at this moment, illuminating the limbs and bones, illuminating every meridian and blood vessel.
If you stand next to Chen Mu and look at it, you can see that at this moment, Chen Mu's whole body is glowing with fluorescence. This light is seeping out from the body, and a light seems to be lit inside the body.
The five elements are interdependent.
The light of the five internal organs is always bright!
And the countless spreading blood vessels and meridians, with every beat of the heart, continue to light up and go dark, showing the principle of the alternation of yin and yang.
That is to say, in the constant light and death, Chen Mu's vision suddenly became a little dazed. The situation in his body was no longer in front of him, but suddenly became pitch black.
Darkness obscured all sight.
I can't see my fingers.
Everything in the world seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden, and only I was constantly floating in this void, not knowing where I came from or where I was going.
"Hallucination? No"
Chen Mu looked thoughtful.
If you are a warrior, facing this situation, you may temporarily fall into confusion. This is what you will encounter when you break through to the fourth level. Many warriors call it a mental barrier.
To break through to the fourth level of martial arts, one must not only complete physical sublimation, but also use one's honed martial arts will to break through one's own mental barriers.
In this process, the will must be extremely firm, even the slightest hesitation and hesitation towards oneself will lead to failure!
Once you fail, not only your consciousness will be traumatized, but your body will also be greatly affected. True energy will flow backwards, which can range from meridians to disorder, vomiting blood, or death on the spot!
Martial arts, the fifth level is easy, the fourth level is difficult!
I don’t know how many fifth-grade people are trapped in front of this threshold.
Now that Chen Mu has come here, he finally understands why this step is so difficult for warriors, because this is not an illusion, but the deepest part of the soul.
Here, every emotion will be infinitely magnified.
Any wave of thought, any trace of memory, will form an impression of the past here and be clearly displayed before your eyes.
The anger of the past, the unwillingness of the past, the anger of the past, the fear of the past, including all the things that are unwilling to be recalled, cannot be hidden here and will be revealed.
Which warrior has never had fear?
Who has never been angry?
Even the true heirs of the eight major sects like Lin Yue have fought their way up step by step since they were weak. They have also experienced various hardships, and there must be things they are unwilling to recall.
And all these must be broken here and stick to one's true heart.
Chen Mu also understood why warriors have to sharpen their so-called martial arts will, because martial arts will is the direction, guiding themselves. The more determined and strong they are, the more stable their true intentions will be here.
But he doesn't need these.
As a magician, as a second-level magician, at the pinnacle of the realm of celestial phenomena, his heart and soul are as unified as one. There is no stray thought in his heart, and every thought can be controlled freely.
All the past events and memories could not make waves in his heart.
If a second-grade magician, whose heart and soul have reached the state of perfect harmony, can't break through even a mere mental barrier, that would be the most ridiculous thing in the world!
"Break it."
Chen Mu shook his head gently.
Without any effort at all, with just such a simple thought, the endless darkness in front of him was like a mirror, with cracks appearing.
boom!
The whole world collapsed.
What emerged after the darkness collapsed was an endless expanse of white, with no end as far as the eye could see.
In the center of this endless white, there is a sword floating. Its majesty and vastness seem to open up the world, but it is small but it seems that it can be gathered in the fingers with a single thought.
It was as if I was in a distant place, looking at this sword, and it seemed as if I was the sword itself, as if I was looking at myself.
"Do I still need to make a choice?"
Chen Mu shook his head slightly.
Then he gently raised his hand, and the Heart Sword fell silently into his palm, and then he waved it casually.
Buzz!
A crack suddenly appeared, running through the entire white world.
Having already chosen to use the sword as the way, naturally he would not change anything. What’s more, using the heart as the sword, in Chen Mu’s opinion, is the right path that points directly to the way.
Wow.
The world in front of him was finally completely shattered, and his consciousness left the depths of his soul and returned to himself.
Chen Mu in the retreat room opened his eyes again.
Looking at his body again, he saw that his heart was beating faster and faster, and the alternation of light and dark in the meridians and blood vessels throughout his body was also getting faster and faster with the heartbeat.
Gradually, light and darkness seemed to blend together like yin and yang, and began to become indistinguishable from each other.
boom.
It seemed like something was broken.
Chen Mu felt that his body seemed to have finally broken some kind of shackles at this moment!
The heart suddenly stopped beating violently, stopped for two breaths, then started beating again, and immediately returned to stability.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed by Chen Mu's soul power seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, and began to flow into Chen Mu's body crazily, causing Chen Mu's body to rapidly transform.
The true energy has nearly doubled in a very short period of time, and is still increasing.
Chen Mu's body is almost free of filth, but it relies on the power of the magician to maintain it. But now, every cell in his body is transforming on its own. From now on, even if he does not use soul power to maintain the cleanliness of his body,
It will no longer be contaminated by dust, and there will no longer be any filth.
certainly.
These are not the most important.
The most important thing was that Chen Mu had a strange feeling, as if he had finally settled on something, which made the feeling of nothingness before suddenly become much lighter.
"inhuman"
"No, there should be a more appropriate name for this realm."
Chen Mu murmured in his heart.
When the body completes its transformation, it also establishes the foundation of using the Heart Sword as the Tao. Warriors call this realm inhuman, and it is a step forward from the dragon gate, but in his view, it is more like stepping out of a starting point.
Chen Mu thought of many nouns in his mind for a while, such as 'Xiantian', 'Daoji', etc., but in the end there was only one of these words left.
"Maybe it should be called Foundation Building?"
This thought emerged, and Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the wonderful artistic conception of his heart and soul that was round and unified yet empty.
If we can have a strong enough true essence as a foundation, and then combine the power of the heart and soul, we can put the path we have stepped on, our own destiny, and everything into one place, and condense it into an infinitesimal point, so that the round meaning can come from the void.
Turning it into reality may lead to a qualitative leap.
There is a premonition in the dark,
This may be the right direction.
Chen Mu's thoughts were wandering for a while, but he quickly regained control of his thoughts, because although he had a strange association, he could not put it into practice now.
It is obvious that the realm of the physical body is too low, and it is far from reaching that level. I am afraid that I have to reach the realm of "unity of nature and man" that is equal to the soul and soul before I can try it.
The unity of heaven and man in the heart and soul is a celestial phenomenon and a second-level magician.
The physical body of heaven and man is one, and he is a first-grade martial saint.
What makes Chen Mu quite helpless is that it is really difficult for him to catch up with the level of a magician in martial arts.
Even if he is a second-level magician, his cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary martial artists, and the speed of improvement after the fourth-level martial arts will drop sharply.
Judging from the current situation, it will probably take at least a year to reach the third level of martial arts cultivation, the second level will undoubtedly take even longer, and the first level is even further away.
In comparison, with the existence of a system, his level as a magician may soon break through to the first level.
A thought.
Chen Mu called up the system interface, only to find that there were some changes in the system interface.
Name: Chen Mu
Age:17
Force: the power of thirty elephants
Realm: foundation building
Heart and Soul: First Spirit lv49(+)
Soul points: 8 points
"Is there really an additional realm of foundation building?"
Chen Mu looked at the changes on the system interface. After being slightly surprised, he looked thoughtful.
I don’t know whether the system has been changed according to his ideas, or whether this realm really has the title of ‘foundation building’. I don’t care about the former. If it is the latter,
Chen Mu fell into deep thought for a short time.
But without thinking for too long, he tried to improve his heart and soul, and then got a reminder that his soul points were insufficient, which also confirmed his previous thoughts.
Chu Ling lv49 is indeed the limit of a level, because the next step up will not consume 50 soul points, but a full 300 soul points!
This is obviously a huge span!
After thinking for a while, Chen Mu closed the system interface, gathered his thoughts, stood up, and exhaled softly.
"It's time to go back."
It has been nearly a month since I came to Nanli, and I have done everything I need to do, and my level has been raised to the limit of the second-level magician. There is no point in staying here anymore, and it is time to return.
Nan Li is relatively isolated from Dayuan. He hasn't heard much news from Dayuan in the past month, and he doesn't know how far the demon chaos has developed. But when he left, the world was still peaceful. It's only been a month now.
