Chapter 214: An Autumn Rain and a Cold (Part )

Call ~
On the Upside-Down Mountain, there is a gentle breeze, rugged rocks, lush vegetation, and everything seems lifelike.

Although he has been in and out many times, Li Yuan is still amazed every time he comes here.

"Having mastered the Qi to this extent, he is truly worthy of being called a 'god'."

Li Yuan sat cross-legged and pulled out a weed from a crack in the stone. He watched it turn into gas and dissipate. In the crack, new weeds grew out, neither increasing nor decreasing.

After practicing Qianjun Qigong and reaching the state of transforming internal energy into Qi, Li Yuan felt like he was looking up to a mountain when he saw this scene.

"Transforming internal energy into Qi, and connecting all forms with internal Qi, this is the great achievement of Yixing. For me, this step is just a matter of time and effort. It will only take a short time."

Li Yuan was sorting out his thoughts.

There is no superior martial arts in the inner and outer buildings of the library, but there is no shortage of insights into martial arts from predecessors. He has been reading books for many years, and his martial arts foundation is no longer as shallow as before.

When a warrior changes his form, it is called entering the hall.

At this point, no matter where you are in the world, you can be called a master.

For most of the warriors in the world, this is already their limit. If they want to achieve great success in changing their form, they must first transform their internal energy into Qi, which requires superior martial arts and Qigong.

People who can achieve great success without superior martial arts only exist in legends.

That is an amazing talent who can elevate the original middle-level and lower-level martial arts to the upper level.

"After the internal energy is transformed into Qi, the Form Changing Realm is complete, and the meridians are unblocked..."

Li Yuan lowered his head and looked at this body made entirely of true energy. Countless meridians could be seen interweaving into a network beneath the surface of the body.

The great circulation of Qi and blood and the great circulation of internal strength are all preparations for opening up the meridians.

There is no meridian in the human body that is blocked. If it is blocked, there will be pain. The so-called "unblocking the meridians" does not mean to open up any meridians in the body.

Instead, it circulates through the Qi (energy), blood and internal strength, with the internal Qi sketching out an extremely complex network of meridians deep within the body, between the tendons, bones, skin, flesh, limbs and bones!

The process of constructing the meridian network is called Tongmai. A successful construction is called Tongmai Dacheng.

Before transforming strength into Qi, the difference between intermediate martial arts and advanced martial arts is not obvious, but once Qigong is achieved, the gap between the two instantly widens.

"call!"

Li Yuan sat quietly for a long time before he stood up and slowly walked towards the top of the mountain.

After practicing Qianjun Qigong, with the help of the Zhangbing Lu, his progress in his second adventure into the mountain was rapid, and he had reached the last level seven or eight days ago.

Afterwards, he was stopped by the ghost-faced man who was suspected to be Han Chuijun and could not move forward.

"Ghost face, changeable shape, climbed 6,000 feet high."

Li Yuan stopped in front of the last stone tablet, which listed all the people who had entered the mountains over the past thousand years.

Among them, the martial arts of this ghost-faced man was not very high, he could only change his shape, which was far from comparable to Liu Qingtian who had achieved great success in marrow refining.

But his progress is the highest except for his own.

"Even if there are not hundreds of forms, there are at least dozens of forms, and there are also forms of spirit beasts and forms of heaven and earth."

From a distance of ten feet, Li Yuan looked at the ghost-faced man.

In the past seven or eight days, he has crossed the mountain many times and tried all kinds of methods, but he still cannot cross this last step. Not even after activating the blessing of the Weapon Control Talisman, it still fails.

It is impossible to die together.

"Even with the blessing of the Weapon Control Scroll, it would be difficult to defeat this man in a short period of time."

Li Yuan understood.

In terms of shape-changing alone, the Ghost-Faced Man far surpassed all the other climbers. Even Liu Qingtian, who had achieved great success in marrow refining, was far inferior to him.

"try again!"

Li Yuan paced back and forth, at the same time sensing the palm of his hand to control the 'Top Grade Liuhe Boots', 'Top Grade Jiuhe Boots', 'Spiritual Ox Boots', and 'Top Grade Spiritual Boots' one by one.

hum~
Feeling the control of four pairs of third-level boots, Li Yuan felt that his body was floating as if it had lost weight, as if he could fly away with a gust of wind.

"Level 1 and 2 boots are not very useful. Hmm, I can control the Heavy Hammer of the Mountain and the Great Xiyi Hammer of Mixed Gold..."

On the steps, Li Yuan paced back and forth.

There was naturally a reason why he came to the Xuanbing Secret Realm immediately after he combined the fourth pair of third-level boots.

"But we can't defeat them, but we can probably just go around them, right?"

With a thought, Li Yuan suddenly exerted force on his feet and controlled all kinds of power over his body.

boom!
The air wave visible to the naked eye was suddenly blown away.

With the help of four pairs of third-level boots, Li Yuan saw a flash before his eyes, and he saw the shadow of the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer floating in the air on the top of the mountain.

"It's done!"

Li Yuan felt happy at first, then felt cold.

Woo~
He stopped without thinking, twisted his body, and burst out with his Qi. The long-handled heavy hammer, which was the same color as his body, hit behind him with a "buzz" sound.

Click!

The next moment, Li Yuan felt a pain in his arm, and the heavy hammer broke along with his arm.

Then, a cold wave came like a wave, engulfing him.

"Gan!"

In the room, Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, only to feel the chill on his back, but his eyes were bright.

"There's a show!"

With the support of four pairs of third-tier boots, his speed is the fastest among Zhelong, Shunde, and even Tongmai Dacheng cannot catch up with him, not to mention the Ghost-faced Man who is also a shape-shifter.

"Be quicker and dodge one move. As long as you dodge one move, he will definitely not have the chance to use a second move!"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Yuan closed his eyes and entered the Xuanbing secret realm again.

This time, he didn't delay at all. He exerted force with his feet, chose another angle, and rushed to the top of the mountain again.

Once, twice...

boom!
Like thunder exploding.

The tangible air waves spread out.

The arm and the heavy hammer that Li Yuan had swung out had disappeared, and then, the bone-chilling coldness came again...

"Just a little bit!"

Li Yuan flew forward, opened his only remaining palm and grabbed the vibrating and buzzing shadow of the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer, which seemed extremely unwilling.

"puff!"

The body shattered and turned into smoke.

"Is it done?"

In the room, Li Yuan was panting. The feelings in the Xuanbing Secret Realm came to his mind exactly as he had done before, making him feel tired as if he had fought many bloody battles.

After taking a short breath, he closed his eyes again.

Woohoo~
Hanging upside down on the mountain top, the breeze is blowing gently.

hold head high!
In a trance, Li Yuan heard the sound of the black whale again.

It seemed as if I saw again that magnificent "planet" covered by the vast ocean.

The inverted mountains reach up to the sky...

After a moment, Li Yuan came back to his senses. He looked around and found that all the masters transformed by true qi had disappeared, and the top of the mountain was the same as when he first came up.

Outside the empty square, there are rugged rocks and lush vegetation.

After the clouds dissipated, the palace complex that was only vaguely visible when we first climbed the mountain came into view.

A desolate and ancient atmosphere blows over.

"This looks like the mountain gate of a large sect?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The inverted mountain was thin at the bottom and thick at the top. The top of the mountain was as wide as a plain, and the palaces stretched for hundreds of miles, just like a city in the clouds.

"Where's the hammer?"

Li Yuan looked around. The square was empty. There was no trace of the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer. There was only a stone tablet standing not far away.

"Step three?"

Li Yuan felt a little itchy, but he had no choice but to move forward.

He saw the various words on the stone tablet flowing like water, constantly changing, and finally, they turned into the words of Dayun that he could understand.

[To enter the Sea-Splitting Palace, first transform into a black whale]

"The shape of a black whale?"

Li Yuan's heart moved, and the words on the stone tablet disappeared, replaced by a painting.

In the painting, it was the "planet" covered by the ocean that he had vaguely seen before. Amidst the clouds and mist, a black whale could be seen swimming there.

"The third level is to change into a black whale?"

Li Yuan waited for a long time, but the stone tablet did not change any more, and no new stone tablets or other things appeared around it.

He understood the meaning of the hammer. This picture was one of the rewards after passing the second level, and it was also the third level itself.

"Can you easily create the shape of a black whale with just this one painting?"

Li Yuan touched it and sensed the weapon-control talisman. It was obvious that the things contained in the Black Whale Hammer were already contained in the Black Whale Hammer.

This painting is not a figure drawing either.

"It's so troublesome."

Although he had thought about changing into a black whale before, Li Yuan still felt a bit of a headache. With just such a painting, to change into a black whale would be as difficult as creating a superior martial art.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of breaking through?
Li Yuan pondered it and understood something.

The first and second levels test one's constitution, bones and physical form, while the third level tests one's comprehension?
"This hammer doesn't seem to be looking for a master, but rather looking for a disciple..."

Li Yuan pondered for a long time before walking towards the palace complex that stretched for hundreds of miles. Recalling the planet covered by the ocean in the painting, he was guessing in his heart.

The top of the mountain was very wide and Li Yuan walked very fast.

After a while, he arrived at the palace, or rather, in front of the mountain gate.

Big!
huge!

Seen from a distance, this palace complex is quite spectacular. When you get closer, you will find that this palace complex is even larger than you imagined.

The gate in front of the palace was a hundred meters high, and was covered with patterns that he couldn't understand. Like words?
"What text is this?"

Li Yuan waited for a while but got no response. When he tried to get closer, he felt an invisible barrier blocking him.

"Isn't this the fourth level?"

Li Yuan looked around. Behind the mountain gate, he could vaguely see palaces nearby. Without exception, all of them were inscribed with words he could not understand.

"Star core... Sea-Splitting Star core, Black Whale Spirit... If the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer is really the star core of a planet, then what is reflected in this secret realm is the 'Sea-Splitting Star'?"

Li Yuan was thinking in his heart.

The knowledge of weapons and other items by the Master of Weapons came from himself, and he was not sure whether the star core and the sea-splitting star were what he understood.

After wandering around the mountain gate for a long time, Li Yuan finally returned to the stone tablet and carefully examined the painting.

At the same time, feel the benefits of passing the second level.

This picture of the Black Whale is a benefit of clearing the second level, but it is only one of the benefits.

hum!
Li Yuan stretched out his hand to touch the stone tablet, and felt his mind suddenly elevated a lot. In his eyes, this mysterious realm of Xuanbing also changed.

In a trance, he saw the vast "true energy" as vast as the sea, and the "light spots" of different brightness in it.

Swish!
When Li Yuan opened his eyes again, he saw strands of true energy flowing and interweaving in front of the stone tablet. Soon, it turned into an elegant old man holding a long sword. It was Liu Qingtian.

After passing the second level, with the help of this stone tablet, he can use the true energy near the stone tablet to a certain extent.

"puff!"

The elegant swordsman turned into smoke and disappeared.

Li Yuan had no plan to find a sparring partner. He was still thinking about the changes after passing the second level.

It seemed that because he did not pass the level normally, the hammer seemed very angry, but it was not as repulsive as before.

Woohoo~
Li Yuan pressed the stone tablet, manipulating the nearby true energy and having a lot of fun.

"It's not bad. It can be considered as early contact with the true qi transformation."

After a while, Li Yuan loosened his hands. It seemed that activating his true Qi was quite exhausting and he felt very sleepy.

"Well, maybe this hammer wants me to use the true energy here to 'paint' this picture?"

Li Yuan thinks divergently.

Xuanbing has a spirit, but this spirit does not seem to be the intelligence he thinks it is. At least for the time being, there is no way to communicate with it, and it can only let him pass the levels rigidly.

……

Call ~
In the room, Li Yuan opened his eyes, and quickly closed them again. Sleepiness came over him, catching him off guard. He yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already bright.

"what?"

Li Yuan stretched and was suddenly stunned: "This..."

He rubbed his eyes and felt that the tables, chairs, benches, tea bowls and oil lamps in the room seemed to have come alive, as if they had been covered with a layer of gauze.

"Like... wearing glasses because of severe myopia?"

Li Yuan saw a little mouse in the corner. Even though he was several meters away, he could clearly see the smooth fur of the little mouse and even the dust between the fur.

“I’m not nearsighted.”

As if he had thought of something, Li Yuan sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

hum~
In the darkness, Li Yuan visualized the "stick man".

The stickman is himself. Because he has not mastered the method of visualization, he looks very simple.

But now, as he thought about it, a ball of light seemed to appear in the darkness, and the rough and simple matchstick man had color on his body. Compared with before, not only was his body bigger, but his limbs and torso could also be seen.

"Mental strength!"

This thought popped up in Li Yuan's mind. Is this also the benefit of passing the second level?
He sensed it carefully and found the faint presence of the Black Whale Qi in his body. Every time he entered or left the Xuanbing Secret Realm, a wisp of the Black Whale Qi would follow him out.

With this energy, he tried to change into a black whale and gained a little, but that was all, it was of no further use.

"My mental strength suddenly increased greatly, perhaps it has something to do with the energy of the black whale... Well, I'll try it later."

Li Yuan's visualization method improved by leaps and bounds. After some attempts, he was even able to visualize his five senses. When he closed his eyes, it was as if a smaller version of himself was punching in front of him.

"Um... bring me a hammer!"

As soon as Li Yuan thought about it, he imagined that there really was a black hammer in his hand. Then, under his induction, he slowly started to hit the Ancient Elephant Six-Shaped Hammer.

"The God Worship Method is indeed a miraculous feat in the world!"

After a long time, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He looked a little tired, but his spirit was somewhat excited:

“It’s a magical skill!”

After getting started with the visualization method, the person being visualized is urged to do boxing. He even has the illusion that he is practicing martial arts. Although it is an illusion, it is very real.

"But it's really tiring, it's better to practice martial arts by myself..."

Li Yuan yawned and just woke up. He was sleepy again. Practicing visualization for a while made him more tired than working a whole day on ironwork.

"Once you have entered the stage of visualization, the method of worshipping gods will not be far away."
