Huff … Huff … Huff …
In a short cave that was about ten meters long, the sound of long breaths drifted back and forth. At the end of the cave, Wang Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. As his chest rose and fell, the sound of inhaling and exhaling slowly came out from his mouth and nose. As he breathed, the red glow on Wang Yan's face became brighter and brighter. Finally, with a 'whoosh', a sword-like white smoke rose from the top of his head and shot up into the sky.
"I've finally completed the [Origin Sword Heart Sutra]."
After a while, Wang Yan slowly opened his eyes. His face was expressionless. He had almost reached the peak of the last stage of the [Origin Sword Heart Sutra]. Now, after five days in Cang Mountain, he had cultivated it to completion.
The reason why Wang Yan hid in Cang Mountain was to break through to the Incubation Stage. However, this kind of breakthrough could not be rushed. Wang Yan knew this very well. Therefore, in the past five days, he had been cultivating the [Origin Sword Heart Sutra] while combing through his martial arts. He wanted to perfect the method of condensing the Qing Xu Sword Essence. At the same time, he also adjusted his state of mind in order to break through in the best condition.
Now that five days had passed, the [Origin Sword Heart Sutra] had reached completion. The method of condensing the Qing Xu Sword Essence had also reached completion. The rest of the materials needed for forming the essence were all ready. Wang Yan knew that it was time for him to break through.
However, Wang Yan was not in a hurry. He first calmed down and took out the [Phaseless Sensing True Scripture] to read. For a martial artist, every breakthrough should be comprehended. After all, martial arts was a process of cultivating the mind. Without a firm Dao heart, one would not be able to reach the end.
And what was Wang Yan's Dao? Was it just pure strength? If the previous Wang Yan was a bit unclear about his own Dao, then after a year of seeing and hearing, especially the enlightenment given to him by the fifth rhyme, he understood that strength was only a prerequisite for pursuing the Dao. The Dao he was pursuing was the pursuit of truth!
Since it was the pursuit of truth, then cultivating martial arts required one to understand the essence and true meaning of martial arts. One could not know what it was, but not why it was.
Martial arts, in short, was a path for mortals to pursue their own strength. A martial artist's path of cultivation was to continuously excavate their own potential and make themselves stronger until they could return to the Xiantian Stage.
This path of cultivation began with the perception of Qi, followed by opening the Twelve Standard Meridians as the foundation of strength. After that, the cultivated inner strength would be stored in the Dantian to form a Yuan Fetus. Through this, the inner strength would be continuously refined and refined, and finally, it would break the Yuan Fetus and transform the inner strength into True Qi. Then, using True Qi to continuously return to the Xiantian. This was the path of martial arts, and also the foundation of strength. Therefore, martial artists used Qi as the foundation.
Even though Wang Yan was thousands of miles away from the Innate Realm, he could still understand that the Innate Realm also used Qi as its foundation. It was just that after the True Qi was refined by a large amount of Innate Qi, it would be upgraded to a higher quality of Qi. Then, it would be able to connect the inside and outside of the Innate Realm and connect with the Spiritual Vigor of Heaven and Earth.
In other words, the path of a martial artist was a process from the inside to the outside. The cultivation of Qi was also from the inside to the outside. Even the usage of Qi was the same. During the Meridian Opening Stage, martial artists could only circulate their inner energy in their bodies. Even if they used martial arts or lightness skills, they could only circulate their inner energy to the corresponding acupuncture points and then stimulate it to achieve speed, strength, transformations, etc. that far exceeded that of ordinary people. However, after entering the Nurturing Embryo Stage, if one had a profound Nurturing Embryo Formula, the quality of one's inner Qi would be greatly improved after it was purified. This was especially true for someone like Bai Daoxin, who had managed to condense Upstanding Qi during the Nurturing Embryo Stage. With that, one's inner Qi would be able to leave one's body, and it would be a piece of cake for one to hit something from afar.
Because of this, the Nascent Embryo could be said to be the foundation of a martial artist's inner body and the beginning of the outer body. This step was extremely important to a martial artist. The Nascent Embryos that could be formed were also divided into four grades: Low, Medium, High, and Peerless. It was rumored that above the Peerless Grade, there was the Divine Grade. However, no Divine Grade Nascent Embryo had ever appeared in the world for hundreds of years. In the current Jianghu, no one knew the name and effects of the Divine Grade Nascent Embryo. It was just a legend.
There was no need to say much about the two middle grade Nascent Embryos. Ordinary martial artists in the Nurturing Embryo Stage all belonged to this class. There was nothing special about them. At most, they would be middle grade Nascent Embryos. After they condensed, the martial artist's internal energy would increase by a lot. In Jianghu's terms, they would have twenty years of pure internal energy. However, the High Grade Nascent Embryo was different. Not only would it have more than thirty years of pure internal energy, but it also had its own magical properties. For example, the Evil Blood Nascent Embryo of the Aojian Villa was one of the High Grade Nascent Embryos. Not only could it cultivate the Evil Blood Qi, it could also use the Sword Qi after it was polished into a Sword Embryo.
It could be said to be extremely mysterious. As for the Peerless Grade Nascent Embryo, Wang Yan did not know much about it. He only knew that once the Peerless Grade Nascent Embryo was formed, it would have sixty years of pure internal energy. And sixty years of pure internal energy was the basic requirement to condense Gang Qi. However, in Jianghu, there were very few methods to cultivate the Peerless Grade Nascent Embryo. Only a few top sects still had it. However, if one wanted to condense the Peerless Grade Nascent Embryo, not only did one need extraordinary talent, but it also needed luck and perseverance. Wang Yan did not know the specific situation. However, in the past hundred years, there were less than ten people who could condense the Peerless Grade Nascent Embryo. Among them, there was no one in the Aojian Villa. The closest person was Bai Daoxin's Master, 'One Red' Zong Wanliu.
Wang Yan did not know what grade his self-created Pure Void Sword Embryo would rank after it was formed. However, he had perfected this technique bit by bit. During this period of time, he had sorted out his own martial arts and his understanding of martial arts. It had also made him more clear about cultivation, martial arts, Heavenly Dao, and My Dao. He had firmed up his future path. Therefore, condensing the Pure Void Sword Embryo was not just for cultivation, it was also a step he had to take on the great path.
After comprehending for a while, Wang Yan slowly retracted the True Scripture of Formless Sensing Yuan Dongxu. He then took off his clothes and placed the items on his body to the side. His naked body once again sat down cross-legged. However, there were a few more items in front of him. They were the Elemental Rest Grass, Ten Thousand Years Stalactite Milk, Red Lotus Seed, and the Dark Origin Fruit.
Immediately after, Wang Yan slightly adjusted his breathing. When his breathing was smooth and his heart was at peace, he first took the Elemental Rest Grass and placed it in his mouth. Then, he began to circulate his internal energy to circulate the Origin Drawing Technique. As soon as this technique was activated, Wang Yan's body began to tremble slightly. Immediately after, a small lump the size of a goose warm stone swelled up from his lower abdomen. Then, this small lump began to flow upwards from his dantian. Following the movement of this small lump, an expression of pain appeared on Wang Yan's face.
After the small lump swam around his body, it finally stopped between Wang Yan's heart and lungs. A moment later, the small lump began to violently vibrate as if it was about to burst out of his skin. Because of this, the expression of pain on Wang Yan's face deepened and the veins on his forehead began to bulge. At this moment, the small lump began to emit a dazzling green light. Wang Yan immediately clenched his teeth and circulated the technique. The small lump dragged the dazzling green light towards his dantian.
This small lump had previously moved around his body in search of the trace of Xiantian Qi hidden within Wang Yan's body. Now, it wanted to bring it back to his dantian and use it as the foundation for his Yuan Fetus.
Fortunately, although the whole process was painful, there were no accidents. When the shimmering green flower was pulled back to three inches below the navel, the small bag suddenly disappeared. Wang Yan suddenly opened his eyes and stretched his hands forward, grabbing the red lotus seed and the core of the Netherworld Origin Fruit in his hands.
Open!
Wang Yan's eyes narrowed. Then, two torrents of inner energy flowed through his meridians like a surging torrent. In the next moment, there was a cracking sound. The Red Lotus Seed and the Dark Origin Fruit in Wang Yan's hands shattered. As the residue turned to ash, two cyclones, one red and one blue, drilled into Wang Yan's left and right palms.
Ugh …
Wang Yan let out a muffled groan. After the two streams of Xiantian Qi entered his palms, Wang Yan's left hand was quickly covered in a thin layer of frost. The skin on his right hand became dry and shriveled, as though it was about to crack.
After all, the Xiantian Qi was too powerful. With Wang Yan's current inner energy, it was difficult for him to absorb one of them. It was extremely dangerous to absorb two Xiantian Qi at once. However, at this point, Wang Yan would not give up no matter what.
As his Adam's apple moved, he swallowed the Elemental Rest Grass in his mouth. In an instant, his dantian shook violently. The dazzling green light immediately shone brightly. Under such a change, the two Xiantian Qi, one Yin and one Yang, seemed to be guided and actually flowed along his meridians towards his dantian. However, as the two Xiantian Qi passed by, Wang Yan felt as if half of his body was being roasted by raging flames, while the other half felt as if it was in an ice cave.
Under such circumstances, Wang Yan guarded his mind to maintain a clear mind. At the same time, he divided a part of his inner energy to protect his heart meridians. After a few breaths, the two Xiantian Qi rushed into his dantian. Wang Yan immediately activated the Qingxu Sword Embryo's formation method.
Bang!
A slight muffled sound came from Wang Yan's abdomen. Then, the dazzling green light flashed and disappeared. At the same time, Wang Yan's vision blurred and the world changed. He saw that in the boundless void, a gust of green Qi filled the air. The two cyclones, one red and one blue, were wrapped in it. As the green Qi tightened, the two cyclones gradually merged together. At the moment when the two cyclones connected, there was a loud explosion. The red cyclones turned into raging flames that filled the sky, while the blue cyclones turned into raging waves. When the two cyclones met, they were not compatible with each other, while the green Qi continued to tighten.
In the end, the raging flames and the raging waves disappeared. The red and blue colors no longer existed. A chaotic vortex appeared in the middle of the green Qi. As the vortex rotated, the green Qi was sucked in bit by bit. When the green Qi completely disappeared, the vortex floated in the boundless void and rotated in an orderly manner. With each rotation, traces of Clear Spirit Qi flowed out from it.
"It's done!"
Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately knew that the first step of the Qingxu Sword Embryo was successful. This vortex was the Chaos Millstone that he constructed with the Xiantian Qi of Yin and Yang. The world was born from the chaos, and Wang Yan used this Chaos Millstone to purify his inner energy. At this step, Wang Yan needed to inject all his inner energy into the Chaos Millstone to purify and complete the initial formation of the embryo.
However, it was slightly different from what Wang Yan had expected. He did not expect that the Chaos Millstone, which was constructed with the innate Qi of Yin and Yang, would produce these wisps of Clear Spirit Qi. He could sense that these wisps of Clear Spirit Qi were quite mysterious, but it was not the right time to explore them. He knew that if he could not stabilize his Yuan Embryo, the Chaos Millstone would soon dissipate.
