The bronze wall opened to the left and right, and the sound was powerful and heavy, like a bell ringing in his ears. It was deafening.
Chen Zong focused his eyes and stared at the dark crack. He couldn't see anything clearly, but he felt a trace of mysterious aura emanating from it.
He took a deep breath, and his expression became calmer. He strode into the darkness, and the bronze wall closed as if it had swallowed Chen Zong.
The light lit up and dispelled the darkness in an instant, allowing Chen Zong to see everything in front of him clearly.
The empty room was not big. On the front wall, there was a picture scroll, and in front of the picture scroll was a gray round futon.
Chen Zong's eyes were directly attracted by the picture scroll.
"The Zhenwu Path-understanding Picture …" A voice came from the bottom of his heart, telling Chen Zong that the picture scroll in his sight was the so-called Zhenwu Path-understanding Picture.
However, when Chen Zong opened his eyes wide, he found that he couldn't see clearly what was on the picture scroll. He could only see a blur, as if it was shrouded in a cloud of fog.
Chen Zong walked to the futon and sat down cross-legged. He concentrated all his attention, and his eyes were shining brilliantly. He stared at the foggy picture scroll in front of him without blinking.
As he stared, Chen Zong felt that the fog on the picture scroll in front of him seemed to become blurred. It seemed to be shaking, as if it was alive, and the mysterious aura became more and more intense.
The feeling of the sky and earth spinning, as if his mind was being absorbed. The momentary sense of weightlessness made Chen Zong very uncomfortable. He felt as if he was thrown into the sky by a huge force, but also as if he was thrown into an endless abyss and kept falling.
This contradictory feeling, which seemed to be going up and going down, made Chen Zong so sad that he almost vomited blood. He didn't know when it would end.
It felt like a second had passed, but also like many years. He couldn't tell the concept of time.
Suddenly, everything disappeared. He couldn't see his own body or anything, but he could feel his own existence. This feeling was very strange.
"What a clear feeling."
Chen Zong was astonished. In this strange state, it was as if he had broken away from all restraints and became unrestrained. He also eliminated all distracting thoughts. His entire mind became clear and transparent. With a thought, everything was under his control. It was incomparably mysterious.
It was a rare opportunity. Chen Zong did not waste any time and immediately started to comprehend.
He had already mastered the first level of the Martial Arts Realm and had reached the pinnacle of the first level. There was only a fine line between him and the second level. This was where his advantage lay. It was an advantage that most warriors did not have. Now, he had to expand this advantage and be more ahead of other warriors.
"The mystery of the second stage of the Martial Arts Realm lies in the essence, qi, and spirit," Chen Zong murmured to himself as he started to think quickly.
In front of his eyes, a pale saber light tore through the fog, as if it had come from another space-time. It slashed past Chen Zong and continued forward, as if it had entered another space-time.
Graceful Extermination Saber!
This was the powerful saber attack that an elder of the Real Martial Arts Alliance had used before. That saber attack contained many mysteries. Previously, Chen Zong had only slightly comprehended it.
In the past three months, under the guidance of Immortal Huan Yun, he had made progress in the Martial Arts Realm. What was more important was the accumulation of Martial Arts knowledge. He had gotten rid of the identity of a rookie and truly entered the Martial Arts Realm.
Now, with the help of the True Martial Arts Chart, the difficulty of comprehending that saber attack was greatly reduced. Chen Zong could clearly see the mysteries contained in that saber attack.
In terms of realm, this saber attack surpassed Chen Zong's, but was not as good as Immortal Huan Yun's. In other words, the Martial Arts Realm contained in this saber attack was just a little beyond the first level and barely touched the threshold of the second level.
This level was the most suitable for Chen Zong to comprehend at the moment.
To put it bluntly, the profoundness of the True Martial Dao Understanding Painting was that it allowed one to clearly feel the martial arts realm and thus comprehend it. If there was a direct reference object, then that reference object would be clearly displayed under the profoundness of the True Martial Dao Understanding Painting. Moreover, it would be magnified, making it easier to observe.
Chen Zong's Martial Arts Realm had already reached the limit of the first level. The gap between it and the second level was only a thin line. It was like a thin piece of paper that could be broken with a little force.
Now, under the mysteries of the True Martial Arts Chart, that flash of pale saber light allowed Chen Zong to break through the thin paper and see the higher level of Martial Arts Realm.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit!
With the guidance of Immortal Huan Yun, Chen Zong had a deeper understanding of essence, Qi, and Spirit. However, understanding was one thing. Mastering was another.
It was like knowing that birds could fly, but you could not fly like a bird.
As soon as he broke through the barrier, Chen Zong felt that his mind seemed to become clearer and many mysteries emerged. Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Essence represented the body and physical strength, which belonged to the body itself.
Qi represented the body's power, such as Qi and blood, internal force, or the higher level of Genuine Force.
Spirit represented the spirit and will, which represented a mysterious power that could not be seen or touched. However, it was very important.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit were the three treasures of the human body.
To put it bluntly, the heart, the eye, and the hand were actually included in the essence of Qi, Qi, and Spirit. In essence, they were part of the essence.
As soon as he stepped into the Martial Arts Realm, Qi, and Spirit, which belonged to the second level of Martial Arts Realm, Chen Zong could feel the difference.
Suddenly, Immortal Huan Yun's explanation and guidance of Essence, Qi, and Spirit came out one after another. In the past, Chen Zong could only feel that it was right but actually not right. It was difficult for him to get started. Now, as soon as he got started, the accumulation immediately transformed, as if his potential had been unearthed.
One and a half hours had passed.
The five geniuses of the Real Martial Arts Alliance did not look good.
Duan Han had been meditating for one and a half hours. Wu Mo had been meditating for two and a half hours. They had already surpassed the five geniuses of the Real Martial Arts Alliance. Now, one and a half hours had passed, and Chen Zong still had not come out.
Chen Zong, who was in the middle of meditating, did not feel the passage of time at all.
His understanding of Essence, Qi, and Spirit continued to deepen. His understanding of the second level of Martial Arts Realm also continued to deepen.
If divided according to the level, it could be divided into four levels: Novice, Small Success, Great Success, and Perfection. Now, Chen Zong had reached the Novice level of Martial Arts Realm.
Now, on the basis of Novice level, he was moving towards Small Success.
It was very difficult to improve one's Martial Arts Realm, especially the second level, which was far more difficult than the first level. It was at least ten times more difficult.
For example, Immortal Huan Yun was only at the peak of Novice level of Martial Arts Realm. If he wanted to reach Small Success, he would need at least several years of hard work if there was no opportunity. It was also possible that he would be stuck at the peak of Novice level, unable to break through.
Outside, two hours had passed, but Chen Zong still had not come out. Now, even Ye Yongping's face became very gloomy, because this meant that Chen Zong had spent more time meditating than him. It was very likely that Chen Zong had comprehended more than him.
Ye Yongping was already very unhappy that Wu Mo had surpassed him. Now that there was another Chen Zong, it made him even more unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. It was this feeling that almost drove him crazy.
Duan Han and the others were also surprised. They had meditated on the True Martial Dao Understanding Diagram before, so they knew that meditating on the True Martial Dao Understanding Diagram would bring about an invisible consumption of energy. This consumption would make them feel exhausted, and once they were exhausted to the extreme, they would automatically stop meditating.
In the blink of an eye, another half an hour had passed. This time, Wu Mo's face was also full of shock.
His meditation time was two and a half hours, which was the limit. Now, Chen Zong had reached the same level as him.
Everyone stared at the bronze wall in front of them, imagining how it would be when it opened. However, the bronze wall did not move. Chen Zong still had no intention of coming out.
"Is he unconscious inside?" Someone guessed maliciously.
"I remember that in the past, the longest time to meditate on the True Martial Dao Understanding Painting was three and a half hours. It was the record set by the leader of the Overlord Martial Alliance, the Overlord Martial Alliance," Jiang Hao said, his face full of reverence.
The longer one meditated, the greater the harvest. However, at the same time, the longer one meditated, the greater the invisible burden one had to bear.
Those who could meditate for one and a half hours were already elites among geniuses. Those who could meditate for two hours were geniuses among geniuses. Those who could meditate for two and a half hours were even rarer.
It could be said that in the past eighty-nine meditations, less than ten people had managed to meditate for two and a half hours, and less than five people had managed to do so for two and a half hours.
Now, three of the Three Great Geniuses of the Real Martial Alliance were directly accounted for.
Now, Wu Mo was one, and Chen Zong was another. Looking at the situation, it seemed that Chen Zong had the potential to challenge for three hours.
After all, only the Three Great Geniuses of the Real Martial Alliance could meditate for three hours.
The passage of time started to seem so slow. Every second felt like a day or even longer.
The nine people all stared at the bronze wall, but there was no movement at all. Even after three hours, there was still no movement from the bronze wall.
"It's been three hours!"
They were all shocked.
"Is he really comparable to the Three Great Geniuses of the Real Martial Alliance?" The geniuses of the Real Martial Alliance were shocked and jealous from the bottom of their hearts.
For a long time, the geniuses of the Real Martial Alliance had always been the best. They were obviously better than the four great academies, not to mention the other forces. But now, they had been defeated. There was even a genius who could compete with the three great geniuses. It felt like a nightmare.
"He still hasn't come out." Jiang Hao was inexplicably shocked.
Little did they know that Chen Zong had already broken through a bottleneck.
Lower Lv 2 Martial Path Realm!
This meant that Chen Zong had already surpassed Huan Yun's realm. It meant that Chen Zong had taken a big step forward in the Martial Path Realm. However, three hours had already passed.
Chen Zong began to feel tired. This kind of tiredness seemed to come from the spiritual level, but it also seemed to come from the physical level. The double tiredness was unbearable.
"This meditation should be over soon," Chen Zong thought to himself. He couldn't help but feel that it was a pity. If he could continue meditating, he might be able to go further in the Lv 2 Martial Path Realm. It was not impossible for him to reach the Advanced Lv 2 Martial Path Realm.
However, he was able to break through from the Lv 1 Martial Path Realm to the Lv 2 Martial Path Realm, and even reach the Lower Lv 1 Martial Path Realm in one go.
