In the underground karst cave.
All the evilness had disappeared, but Chung Shen-soo felt his hair stand on end.
He looked at the blood pool and realized that the blood in it had completely disappeared. Through the light of the torch and the translucent pool water, he could see Monk Jing Fan. Monk Jing Ming was nowhere to be found.
At that moment, Monk Jing Fan had also undergone a strange change.
A bloody wound had split open on both sides of his cheeks, revealing two faces that looked both happy and angry.
On his back and chest, there were two huge sarcomas that protruded out of his clothes. They seemed to be nurturing some strange and twisted limbs.
"What … What's going on?"
Chung Shen-soo's voice turned hoarse. "Jing Fan is going to become a monster?!"
"You are really ignorant!"
Duan Mingyu observed for a while and pressed her palms together. "Congratulations, Master Jing Fan. You have achieved enlightenment and are about to break through to grandmaster! This is a joyous occasion! "
"What? Breaking through to grandmaster? That's it? "
Chung Shen-soo pointed at Jing Fan in the pool water. He felt that there was no way he could survive in the pugilistic world.
"This is the 'body abnormality' of a grandmaster. It's a stage that one has to go through to break through the Tempered Marrow stage. It's the same nature as the 'miraculous abnormality' of a grandmaster. Oh, I forgot that you are not from a large sect, so you don't know about this …"
Duan Mingyu chuckled without any malice. She explained to Chung Shen-soo, "There are three stages in the martial path. You already know about Blood Changing, but Tempered Marrow is a qualitative change in life. To become a grandmaster, one has to go through the 'body abnormality' stage!"
"The so-called body abnormality is turning into a monster?" Chung Shen-soo felt a chill run down his spine. If that was the case, wouldn't the grandmasters on the Earth and Heaven Rolls be …
"Of course not. The body abnormality stage is a transformation of the body. One has to suppress it to become a grandmaster."
Duan Mingyu's expression became extremely solemn. "If one can't suppress it, one will become a monster that has lost its humanity. When the large sects discover it, it has to be annihilated!
"According to the different cultivation manuals, each martial artist has to face different 'body anomalies'. The monks who cultivate the 'Victorious King Scripture' have a body anomaly that our Plain Sound Sword Sect has records of. They have three heads and six arms!"
"Alright …" Chung Shen-soo was speechless.
He looked around. "Are we just going to stand guard for Master? Should we go out and buy some food and water? "
"There's no need for that. There are three stages in martial arts, and each one is more difficult than the one before. However, the time needed to break through each stage is shorter than the one before it. A martial artist needs around a hundred days to change their blood. As for the stage of refining one's marrow, according to the records, the longest is three days, and the shortest is half a day …" Duan Mingyu shook her head. "It's said that the 'miraculous' of breaking through to the Great Grandmaster realm is usually in an instant. Either you comprehend the profound and see the Buddha of Mount Lingshan, or you die. There's no second possibility."
"I see …"
As for the breakthrough of a Grandmaster, some forces in the Jianghu might still know about it. However, the description of a Grandmaster on the Heaven List and a God Realm martial artist was only known by the eight major forces.
Chung Shen-soo seized the opportunity and immediately inquired about it.
Duan Mingyu smiled. "I don't know much about the breakthrough to become a god. I've only heard from my elders that one needs to be perceptive, to be enlightened, and to have a great opportunity to see the 'Dao' in the darkness. Of course, the Reverend of the Stone Buddha Temple was able to see the Buddha of Mount Lingshan …"
"And once you break through to the God Realm, every Grandmaster on the Heaven List will have extraordinary magical powers. Their minds will become extremely strong, and they will have all kinds of strange abilities. For example, the Thousand Mile Soul Lock. As long as you remember a person's aura, you will still be able to sense it even if it's a thousand miles away. Other than that, you can defeat an army with just a glance. Therefore, when you reach the Heaven List, you will not be able to do anything to them. Even a group of Grandmasters on the Man List and the Earth List will not be able to do anything to them!"
"Is that so …"
Chung Shen-soo listened and compared it with what he knew. He knew that Duan Mingyu did not lie to him.
But at the same time, he was even more shocked.
"If blood changing is said to increase the vitality of a foreign species, then a Grandmaster is said to mutate the body! That's not all … The God Realm barrier of a Grandmaster, the so-called 'Dao Enlightenment', is to see the Buddha of Mount Lingshan. What are 'Dao' and 'Buddha'? Hehe … "
"I understand … Although the martial arts of this world are strange and peerless, there are still some principles. Without the step of cultivators condensing the aura, how can they reach the sky in a single step? Naturally, they can only ask for help from the Heretic Force. The so-called God Realm barrier is probably to attract the attention of some existences and borrow their power to condense magical powers, right? "
Not to mention that it would be very dangerous.
Just based on Chung Shen-soo's knowledge of mysticism, there was a huge difficulty.
Anyone who came into contact with such existences, if their level was not high enough, would inevitably have an unimaginable and irreversible change in their mind.
For ordinary martial artists, this might be a good thing.
But for Chung Shen-soo, he definitely did not want this.
After all, the mutation of the body was fine. After leaving the world, this body would not be needed anyway.
But if the spirit also underwent a qualitative change, it would definitely affect the main body in the main world!
"It's over … Even if I have the chance, I won't dare to break through the God Realm … Because it's courting death … No, being targeted by such existences is a fate worse than death!"
A martial artist's God Realm barrier was, in fact, directly facing an ancient god!
Once he understood this, the martial arts of this world would no longer be a secret to Chung Shen-soo.
Blood transfusion — Increase vitality!
Marrow refinement — Life quality change!
God Realm — Spiritual mutation!
The three martial arts barriers were that simple, plain and unpretentious.
But at the same time, there was a great deal of distress.
"Wrong … I've always been wrong …"
"That Jingming … might have called out Dharma. He might have been tricked by the current Holy Monk Dharma … or he might have seen the other side of the Holy Monk and found out about the object of worship of the Stone Buddha Temple — the Great Devil! Or he could be called 'Damo'! Anyway, humans can't really call out the name of that existence. "
"Back then, the first Holy Monk of the Stone Buddha Temple probably saw 'Damo' when he broke through the God Realm barrier. That's why he took this name and passed it down. It's just that the accent was wrong …"
"And this Jingming guy is a little unlucky. He probably saw the original appearance of the current Holy Monk and was scared out of his wits. Or maybe he went crazy?"
"The Stone Buddha Temple only kept an eye on this. When they saw that Jingming had gone crazy, they sent Jingfan to deal with it. Because to Jingfan, this might be his chance to break through to the Grandmaster level."
"I have a rough idea of what happened this time, but …"
"It's over. I can't seek death by facing an ancient god … That means … I'll never be able to break through the God Realm barrier, and I won't be able to get on the Divine List. If I can't fulfill my obsession, I'll have to stay in this world forever?"
"Why don't I just try to commit suicide and see if I can go back? This world is so dangerous … I want to go home … "
