Surprised and delighted, Lou Cheng blurted out,
"Really?"
His reaction made Yan Zheke feel very proud. She slightly tilted her head and snorted with her eyes twinkling.
"You still don't believe me?"
"That's because … I thought you would need at least six or seven more days of training." Lou Cheng didn't hide his surprise and delight.
"Heh heh, you underestimate me." Yan Zheke chuckled and then said thoughtfully, "When I'm on the brink of death, my body and soul seem to be connected and become one … However, I still prefer a stable and peaceful life!"
"Me too! We're not afraid of accidents, but we don't want to encounter them either. "Lou Cheng chimed in.
Yan Zheke hid in the shadow of a sand dune. She looked at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky and said eagerly,
"Shall I show you now or wait until we're in the city?"
"… Let's do it now," Lou Cheng replied after some thought.
Due to the interruption of communication, he didn't know much about the situation in the port city of Fartouat. He needed to rest and recover his strength to deal with any accidents. Since that was the case, he might as well take the opportunity to experience the changes in Yan Zheke's first Dan of Equilibrium and find the key to merging martial arts and cultivation. There might be surprises!
"Okay!" Yan Zheke nodded solemnly. She drank the last mouthful of water and tossed the bottle aside.
She got into her stance and visualized the Confrontation Formula. She reined in her body and mind and adjusted her spirit.
Immediately after, Yan Zheke retracted her Qi, blood, body force, and Earth Force, condensing them into a ball that spun wildly.
Her willpower was like a millstone, constantly squeezing this small ball and shrinking it rapidly until it reached a certain limit.
At this moment, she guided her spirit and caused the Big Dan to collapse and form a balance. The Earth Force was the star, and the Qi Force was the darkness.
Lou Cheng, who had already formed the Ice Mirror and placed his palm on Yan Zheke's shoulder, suddenly felt that the Big Dan of the Human Body at Equilibrium was guiding the vibrations in her head. It created a miraculous and temporary resonance with the surroundings and the blue sky above.
Resonance … A bolt of lightning flashed through the fog in Lou Cheng's mind, illuminating all the darkness and fuzziness. He found the "commonality" between the different cultivation methods and understood the "point" of blending Cultivation and Martial Arts!
Yes, resonance!
The resonance between the human body and nature!
Just like in the ordinary Dan stage, the effect of Force depended on the special waves produced by the body to create different effects, Physical Invulnerability meant that one's body, mind, and spirit were integrated as one, resonating with the outside world and heaven and earth, creating a direct connection.
Regardless of whether it was the prayer asceticism of the Mission Sect, the Mass Ceremony, or the depraved actions of the spirit cultivators that broke the fixed pattern, they were all for the sake of removing the shackles of the soul, guiding the changes in the spirit, and triggering a special "frequency" that would gradually strengthen and obtain feedback!
Their purpose was to establish a connection with the Heavenly Master, the Devil, and their own Spirit, and to establish a channel!
Judging from Ke's progress just now, this kind of "resonance" was not only related to the formation of the Dan in equilibrium, but also involved the ethereal and indescribable spirit. It also involved the brain that produced this kind of "wave". Even though modern technology was advanced, they still couldn't figure out ten to twenty percent of the mystery of the brain!
Back then, he also had a similar experience, but at that time, he was muddle-headed and didn't understand, so it didn't leave a deep impression on him!
Lou Cheng withdrew his right hand. He had a new understanding of the differences and similarities between Cultivation and Martial Arts at this stage.
The reason why Cultivators could naturally connect to heaven and earth once they formed the Jindan was because their Jindan was a substantial product of highly condensed Essence, Qi, Spirit, and Will. It was in equilibrium as heaven and earth, corresponding to a certain "prototype" and resonating. Moreover, their spirit was completely integrated into it, so they could very easily and smoothly guide the changes in the special positions of the "brain".
Martial Artists controlled the spirit with their will, and through visualization, they changed, polished, and improved it. It guided the movement of the organs and muscles, going deep into the details, causing the genes to mutate. Through Force Concentration, all these processes gradually formed a whole. When the root pulp and spirit resonated with the outside world and reached a certain level, the barrier would be broken and the connection would be formed!
It seems that at this stage, when I reached the Dan in equilibrium, I could actually "resonate" with heaven and earth, which was a Pseudo Physical Invulnerability. However, this state wouldn't last long. Once it was dissolved, I would immediately fall back to the Inhuman level … Lou Cheng looked at Yan Zheke, who had opened her eyes, and praised sincerely,
"You're now a Dan stage expert! And the kind with supernatural abilities! "
Yan Zheke seemed to have washed away the dullness of passing through the sand and became radiant again. Her eyebrows curved, and her dimples deepened.
"How about you? Did you comprehend anything? "
"More or less." Lou Cheng pretended to be calm and answered.
He already had an idea of what to do next. He also understood why he couldn't make the great leap when he disintegrated the Jindan!
Simply put, it was "uncoordinated"!
The root pulp of the spirit was not in harmony with the actual state!
He had reached the Dan in equilibrium, resonating with the outside world with the Cosmic Universe. When he usually visualized, he cultivated Emperor Yan and Ice Spirit. The two intertwined, each had their own force, and they mutated separately. In the end, he had to rely on the rotation of Force Concentration to forcefully form a whole, which was why they were separated.
The most important thing now was to change the visualization diagram, fusing ice and fire into one from the source, and then guiding the spirit and root pulp to truly transform them into the Cosmic Universe!
As for how to change the visualization diagram, of course, it was based on the Heaven and Earth of the Dan during Force Concentration!
And when he reached the Dan in equilibrium, he could also adjust according to the resonance with the outside world, making the Cosmic Universe more complete and compatible!
"You've thought it through?" Yan Zheke's eyes lit up with surprise and asked instinctively.
Does this mean Cheng is about to make the great leap?
"Yes. Next, we can think of various ways to try to break through to the Physical Invulnerability stage." Lou Cheng suddenly gave her a thumbs up and smiled. "Indeed, I still have to rely on you, Coach Yan!"
"Of course ~" The girl pursed her lips and raised her head happily and proudly.
I'm the pillar of our family ~!
Lou Cheng calmed down and thought carefully for a while. He had a clear understanding of the conditions for a martial artist to reach the Physical Invulnerability stage.
First, the strength of the body had to reach a certain standard due to the mutation of the root pulp and the cultivation of the body. Connecting with the Heaven and Earth was like walking in the universe, full of danger. How could one do it without a qualified "protective suit"?
Second, the spirit and root pulp had to resonate with the outside world, and the intensity was not low. This was the basic condition for a breakthrough.
Third, the realm of "All Seeing God" or super strong innate talent. Without these, one would not be able to control the minute details of the body and establish a connection with the outside world. And with it, the second condition could be twice the result with half the effort, three times, four times, five times!
Fourth, a strong willpower. This was the key to breaking through the final barrier. It was like a ship that was ready, but to cross the river, one still needed a helmsman!
Lou Cheng's supernatural ability had awakened for the third time. His physical strength had long surpassed the standard, and he already had the third condition. Now, he only needed to change the visualization, adjust the minute details, and achieve resonance.
When that time came, everything would be ready, except for the east wind!
These conditions, other than "All Seeing God", were all part of the grinding process. Therefore, the earlier one reached the high pin, the more time one had to train, and the easier it would be for them to reach the Physical Invulnerability stage.
It was no wonder that many Inhumans would enter the war-torn zones for real practical training. The stimulation between life and death could indeed strengthen one's willpower and help them take the final step. Of course, the breakthrough was a process, not a node. Even if one broke through the barrier at the last moment, it would still take ten to twenty days to connect with the Heaven and Earth, adjust according to the feedback, and establish a solid "connection". Only when all this was done would one be a true Physical Invulnerability Mighty One … Thinking of this, Lou Cheng smiled and said to Yan Zheke,
"Help me watch. I'll give it a try."
"Okay!" The new Danqi expert, Ke Ke, was eager to try and keep a lookout for her surroundings.
Lou Cheng stood in a still stance, gathered his Qi and blood in his Dantian, and let the universe of darkness and stars take shape and rotate slowly.
This time, he didn't do things like writing the Nine Words Formula. Instead, he raised his willpower, messed up his mind, and let it spread throughout the Dantian.
The universe inhaled and exhaled, and the stars moved naturally. In that feeling of silence, Lou Cheng felt as though he was truly standing outside the atmosphere, in the cold and dangerous darkness. The blazing sun in the distance "breathed" and "expanded" with the same rhythm, as though it had a subtle connection with him.
Comprehending the resonance and the charm, Lou Cheng only ended the Dan Concentration Realm after a few minutes. His Force gushed out of him.
He activated the Confrontation Formula, cleared his mind, and started visualizing again.
This time, he wasn't visualizing Emperor Yan or Ice Spirit, but a combination of the two. The former was the star, heavy and scorching, while the latter was the void, cold and dark. They guided each other, transformed each other, rotated, and balanced. It was in line with the miniature universe after Lou Cheng's Force Concentration.
After repeated attempts, Lou Cheng finally completed this new visualization with reference when he was in a state of exhaustion.
Visualizing refined the mind, the mind guided the root pulp, and the already balanced state of ice and fire adjusted slightly, making it even more harmonious.
Beside him, Yan Zheke looked around and listened attentively, focusing on completing the task Lou Cheng gave her.
After an unknown period of time, she suddenly heard a series of thunderous sounds around her. They went from sparse to dense, and gradually merged into one!
Amidst the banging sounds, she looked back at her husband in shock. She realized that the air around Lou Cheng had formed a vortex, and when it landed on her, it was both hot and cold!
It can't be, right? Yan Zheke was speechless, dumbfounded.
At this moment, everything calmed down. Lou Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and in the depths of his eyes was a dazzling darkness, like the perfect starry night sky in the highlands.
"You broke through?" Yan Zheke blurted out.
"How is that possible?" Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed. He continued, "However, maybe it's because the root pulp was guided by the Jindan during the third awakening of the supernatural ability. Ice and fire blended into one, and it wasn't difficult to achieve a resonance."
"So?" Yan Zheke asked in confusion.
Lou Cheng smiled happily.
"So, after another two or three adjustments, maybe tonight or tomorrow morning, I'll have all the prerequisites for Physical Invulnerability!"
