Chapter 185: Tempering
The body is the carrier of the martial cultivator's true element, just like a large vat.
How big the cylinder is, how many true elements are loaded.
Generally speaking, when a martial cultivator has cultivated to the level of a great martial king, this large vat will overflow and it will not be able to hold more true yuan. If you want to break through to a higher realm, you can only find another way, that is, the Martial Saint stage, compress the true yuan to the extreme, and let the vat be empty again.
Of course, it's only a part of it, and you can't spare too much. If you make a comparison, the true amount of the Martial Saint is only twice as much as that of the Great Martial King.
However, the difference between the Great Martial King and the Martial Saint is that the latter can use his power to attract the power of heaven and earth with his own true element, and exert a terrifying power that surpasses the Great Martial King by more than a hundred times. This is the path that all martial cultivators have grown up on now, and it is also the path that will inevitably be taken in the future.
However, in the primeval period, the primeval martial arts were completely different from the current martial arts cultivators, and they mainly focused on developing their physique. That is, to make the body continue to become stronger, and it can accommodate more true elements. When the body is strong enough to reach a certain level, it will merge with the true element and contain more than a thousand times or even ten thousand times the true element.
In the primeval period, martial cultivators could smash mountains with a single punch, break a river with a single kick, and even cross with their physique. Moreover, when the physique is cultivated to an extremely strong level, it can even reach the level of invincibility of water and fire, and the incorruptibility of the body and bones.
In the primeval period, the body of a martial artist was divided into multiple layers.
The first layer is the strength of a thousand catties, that is, a punch is smashed, and you can have a thousand catties of strength just by your physique. And now Ye Xiang, with his physique alone, can probably reach about three thousand catties.
The second layer is 10,000 catties of strength, and the physique will be comparable to real fine iron, reaching the level of ordinary weapons that are difficult to injure and ordinary water and fire to invade.
The third layer is 100,000 jin of strength......
By analogy, there is no end to the number of layers, but the highest record in ancient times was to reach the ninth layer, and a finger of power can penetrate the earth for thousands of miles in an instant.
Under the insight of the bronze fragments, Ye Xiang finally broke through the mystery of the secret realm of the body, which was the most fundamental origin of the human body.
Originally, Ye Xiang thought that even if he didn't reach the extreme, the secret realm of his body was not far from Xiaocheng, but now it seems that he has just touched the fur and reached the first layer. In order to open up the secret realm of the body to the extreme, it must reach at least nine layers or more.
Not to mention nine, just as long as you reach the fifth layer, your physique is already terrifying.
"The secret realm of the body has shown that if you want to improve your physique, you must refine the secret realm of the body, which is one of the origins of the human body." Ye Xiang said in his heart.
The secret realm of the body is one of the three secret realms of the extreme realm of the body, and the other two secret realms, namely the secret realm of bone and blood and the secret realm of the five organs, are also divided into nine layers.
Ye Xiang immediately understood the power of the Nine Secret Methods of the Ancient World, the Secret Realm of the Body alone was enough to cultivate for a lifetime, not to mention the Secret Realm of Bone and Blood and the Secret Realm of the Five Organs. Each secret realm corresponds to a part of the body, and to cultivate it to the extreme, it will definitely take a lifetime.
Suddenly, Ye Xiang understood the true meaning of that sentence when the Nine Secrets of the Ancient Dynasty appeared.
"The human body has nine secrets, and cultivating to the earth-shattering is the method of the nine secrets of the primeval world...... Cultivated to the sixth secret, transcending mortal beings, refined like a mad dragon, like a cloud, and deified into a void...... Cultivating to the ninth secret, you will not be bound by heaven and earth, the law will be added, and everything will be difficult to hurt......"
"In other words, the Sixth Secret must be completed in order to reach the point where the essence is like a mad dragon, the qi is like a cloud, and the deification is too void......" Ye Xiang muttered.
It is not to comprehend the six secret realms, but to cultivate these six secret realms to the extreme in order to achieve such an effect. Even if you don't cultivate to the extreme, any one of them alone can benefit ordinary martial cultivators for a lifetime.
Like Ye Xiang's Divine Extreme Realm Dantian, it was formed by the fusion of three small secret realms. The size of this dantian is enough to make up for the lack of his exercises. Moreover, Ye Xiang now understands that his understanding of the Divine Extreme Realm Dantian is the same as the Secret Realm of the Body, which is at the most superficial stage, and if he wants to cultivate it to the extreme, he must cultivate all the three secret realms to the extreme.
The three great and small secret realms in the Divine Extreme Realm, any one of them cultivated to the extreme would reach a level unimaginable to ordinary martial cultivators. It's just that every secret realm cultivation is very difficult, and it takes time to accumulate and break through.
And how many years has Ye Xiang only cultivated now? It's really been less than a year, and the three small secret realms, he has only just realized it, and he hasn't fully stepped into the threshold.
Not to mention the other two secret realms, the Lingquan Secret Realm alone can be infinitely expanded, if it can be expanded to a certain extent, it can even control the artifact and kill the enemy for thousands of miles.
However, the ascension of these secret realms is very difficult, Ye Xiang has not found a way so far, and originally planned to try to use bronze fragments to gain insight, but the entire Divine Extreme Realm is chaotic, and it is difficult to see what is inside. Obviously, the mysteries of the three secret realms in this God's Extreme Realm cannot be understood by this bronze fragment alone.
However, Ye Xiang is not in a hurry, now that he has an insight into the secret realm of the body, he will first put his mind on the secret realm of the body, so that his body can be improved first.
"I now have three thousand catties of strength, and if I refine to the second layer, I can have ten thousand catties of strength. Before the Martial Saint level, the 100,000 jin of strength that the human body could possess was the extreme. If you break through to 100,000 jin of strength, and then break through to the Martial Saint level, there will be unimaginable benefits. Ye Xiang said in his heart.
The human body has a limit, and each realm corresponds to a level, just like above the level of the martial king, corresponding to the second to third layers, that is, from 10,000 jin of strength to 100,000 jin of power. The stronger the physique, the greater the benefits to the martial cultivators.
Ye Xiang had already realized that if it weren't for the fact that the secret realm of his body had already broken through to the first layer, he would not be able to rush into the vicinity of the Lingtian Tower with the aftermath of the Sword Soul and the Great Martial Saint.
"If you want to refine your physique, unless you find all kinds of rare treasure medicines, or use foreign objects from heaven and earth to forge your body......" Ye Xiang frowned and thought, it is very difficult to find the treasure medicine, it must be the treasure medicine produced in the primeval or ancient times, and those treasure medicines can refine the secret realm of the body, so as to enhance themselves.
Since ancient times, those treasure medicines have been difficult to find, one is that the treasure medicine has been almost excavated, and the other is that the treasure medicine has very harsh requirements for the environment. For a treasure medicine to take shape, it will take at least a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.
If it is a foreign body in heaven and earth, it is even more difficult to find, and these foreign objects are stored in various forms, some like water, some like fire......
Fire......
Ye Xiang suddenly remembered a place, didn't there happen to be these foreign objects in heaven and earth? Yan Yuan! That's right, it's that place, and there's a lot of Extreme Flame in it. These flames are one of the flames, but they are also a type of foreign matter.
Following the road in his memory, Ye Xiang came to the Yan Yuan where he was knocked down.
Underneath the pitch-black abyss, purple-black extreme flames continued to erupt, each of which contained the terrifying power of burning a qiē. Although he couldn't feel the temperature of the extreme flames, Ye Xiang could feel that those extreme flames contained terrifying heat.
Refining the body with the extreme flames of the abyss is full of deadly dangers, and the slightest carelessness may be burned to ashes. Of course, Ye Xiang would not ingest the Extreme Flame directly, unless he wanted to die.
took out a Ten Thousand Refining Sword, which Ye Xiang got from a disciple of the Gong family when he penetrated the palace family's residence. Among the weapons, it is already considered superior. Stretching out the Ten Thousand Refining Sword from the cliff, a ball of purple-black extreme flame rose into the air, winding around the Ten Thousand Refining Sword like a fire snake.
I saw that half of the Ten Thousand Refining Sword had turned into flying ashes, and the remaining half had also been burned red. Although he had already experienced the terrifying power of the Purple and Black Extreme Flame, he didn't expect that even the Ten Thousand Refining Swords would be burned into ashes in an instant.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xiang took out a Jiaolong spear.
This dragon spear seemed to have sensed something, and trembled violently, as if it was about to break free from Ye Xiang's hand. Through the resistance of the Jiaolong spear, Ye Xiang realized that the Jiaolong spear was also difficult to resist the purple and black extreme flames, and it was almost impossible to ingest it.
What about the Star Wolf......
Ye Xiang immediately dispelled his thoughts, the star wolf was now fused with his right arm, if he penetrated it, maybe even the star wolf and his right arm would be burned to ashes.
Standing on the cliff, Ye Xiang rummaged in the storage bracelet, looking for a long time, but still couldn't find a suitable thing to carry the purple and black extreme flame.
"Can you only give up......
Ye Xiang was a little unwilling, he finally had a place where he could temper his physique, if he gave up, it would be difficult to find it again in the future. However, there were no items on his body that could carry these purple-black extreme flames, and it was impossible for Ye Xiang to directly touch them with his body.
"Those skins ......"
Ye Xiang suddenly remembered the skins of the devouring beasts. Although it is only the size of a palm, there are powerful carved martial marks on these animal skins. When Ye Xiang fell into the abyss, it was these few animal skins that saved Ye Xiang's life.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xiang took out the few pieces of animal skins, although this was a rare devouring animal skin, but compared to the enhancement of his own body, these things could only be regarded as external objects. And the skin has been burned to the ground, and I don't know what use it is to keep it.
Grabbing the animal skin in his hand, Ye Xiang leaned out of the cliff.
A mass of purple and black polar flames rose, and the edge of a piece of animal skin suddenly ignited, due to the storage of powerful martial marks, the burning of this animal skin was very slow, and although there was only a wisp of purple and black polar flame beating above, the heat emitted was extremely amazing.
Ye Xiang put the animal skin on the ground, reached out his hand, and used the true yuan to sweep away the heat emitted by the purple-black extreme flame, and then crossed into his body.
At the moment of heat injection, Ye Xiang's eyes widened, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and the severe pain made him clench his teeth. After that heat invaded the body, it was like a hot fire snake circulating in the body, and the meridians were about to be burned.
Ye Xiang endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and slowly refined the heat, this process was undoubtedly painful, but the heat of the Purple and Black Extreme Flame was very strong. Ye Xiang's blood began to evaporate, and the true yuan in his body roamed, constantly wrapped in those heat, refining little by little, and then injected into the secret realm of the body.
The heat refining on that animal skin alone took Ye Xiang a full ten days. But this process is also worth it, Ye Xiang's physical strength has increased to four thousand catties......
