From the corner of Ding Ning's eyes, he saw that although Hu Yaoshi and his two grandsons were not the target of the projected attack, they were affected and started to bleed from their seven orifices. Ding Ning sighed inwardly and threw the black jade gourd to Hu Yaoshi. Hu Yaoshi raised the black jade gourd without hesitation and shouted comically, "Ding, ding, ding …"
The misty black light dispersed and enveloped the three grandsons. Hu Yaoshi looked at Ding Ning gratefully and prayed for Ding Ning silently, "My friend, take care!"
Ding Ning did not hesitate to display the third move of the Merciful and Compassionate Palm — Buddha Without Regrets!
Tens of thousands of golden lights instantly bloomed around him, and the mighty Sanskrit sound reverberated in the sky like a great bell. At this moment, Ding Ning was like a Buddha in the world, mighty and inviolable.
However, under the shadow of the finger that covered the sky, it still seemed so insignificant.
Without hesitation, Ding Ning took out a stack of Glazed Vajra Talismans and slapped them on his body one after another. The talismans shone brightly and Hu Yaoshi was dumbfounded. He muttered to himself, "How afraid of death is this guy to carry so many Vajra Talismans with him?"
With the protection of the black jade gourd, Hu Yaoshi felt much more at ease and was filled with gratitude towards Ding Ning. He stomped his feet forcefully and the Ten Sides Ambush and Kill Formation was fully activated. The horrifying power of the earth quickly condensed and turned into shadows of gods and demons that filled the sky. They faced the giant finger. Although they were still vulnerable, they managed to slow down the destructive speed of the shadow of the finger.
Not enough, still not enough!
Ding Ning sensed that although the danger of death had weakened, it had not been eliminated. His eyes flashed with madness and he shouted in his heart, "Senior mummified corpse, it's all up to you. If I don't die this time, I'll definitely burn two hundred villas for you and let you live the life of a landlord …"
In the water space, the mummified corpse, whose spirit was nourished by the Nine Turns Glazed Ice Coffin, had regained a little consciousness and felt very uneasy. It seemed that something was targeting it.
No, it can't be. That brat wants to fatten me up before killing me and eating me. Right now, I'm not fat yet. He knows the logic of draining the pond to catch the fish. He definitely isn't thinking about me.
The mummy consoled itself, but the uneasiness in its heart grew stronger and stronger. Before it could console itself again, it realized that it had left this beautiful space with a whoosh. The terrifying pressure that came head-on was like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. It only had time to shout in grief and indignation in its heart, "You bastard, kill me now!"
And then … there was no then.
Boom!
With a light that was even more dazzling than the explosion of the sun, he was completely turned into a piece of skin, an immortal human skin. All of his bones and internal organs were crushed by that terrifying power, and his immortal spirit was also crushed by that unstoppable power.
The shadow in the air let out an unwilling roar, but it was forcefully rejected by the power of the law of the small world. Finally, it turned into a black cloud and dissipated.
Ding Ning flew backward. Before he landed on the ground, blood spurted out of his mouth. His whole body was like a porcelain doll pieced together, broken inch by inch. His whole body was soaked in blood, and even the black and white grinding stone was almost shattered and became illusory. His sense of perception was in pain as if it was shattered. His vision turned black, and he fell heavily on the ground, which was quickly dyed red by his blood.
Medicine Master Hu, who was holding the Black Jade Gourd in his hand and barely saved his life, was still in shock. When the terrifying pressure dispersed, he first looked at his grandchildren and saw that they had only fainted. Only then did he feel relieved. His legs trembled like sifting chaff as he threw himself in front of Ding Ning and called out anxiously, "Fellow Taoist, fellow Taoist, how are you? Wake up … "
"Uh! I'm not dead, haha, I'm not dead. You bastard, it's not that easy to kill me! "
Ding Ning sat up like a corpse. His eyes were dull and lifeless.
After a long time, he came to his senses and jumped up, laughing wildly.
However, as soon as he jumped, the pieces of flesh on his body fell to the ground like scraps, revealing the white skeleton inside.
Medicine Master Hu's grandchildren had just woken up. Seeing this horrible scene, they rolled their eyes and fainted again.
"Fellow Taoist, fellow Taoist, don't jump anymore, or you'll have no more flesh."
Medicine Master Hu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But Ding Ning had done him a favor, so he was very happy that he could survive.
"Hiss!"
Only then did Ding Ning realize that there was only one-third of his flesh left on his body. He couldn't help but gasp in pain.
The joy of surviving quickly faded away, and what was left was a strong worry. Although the power of that finger did not kill him, it did not completely dissipate. The remaining power was constantly wearing away at his body, making the recovery of his Greenwood Body extremely slow. A strong sense of weakness made him stagger and almost fall to the ground.
"Fuck, this bastard, I'll cut him into pieces sooner or later."
Ding Ning struggled to stand up and said with his teeth clenched. Although he was reluctant to use the green fruit, he had no time to be stingy at this moment. He took out a handful and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Dense wood-elemental spiritual power flowed through his bones. Ding Ning sensed that his liver and gallbladder were both emitting dense wood-elemental power, which was constantly repairing his muscle tissues. However, under the remaining power of the mysterious man, the effect was minimal.
This made him think of something, and he looked carefully. Then he was happy.
His five viscera had been occupied by the five elements totem and had been constantly refined, but his six viscera did not show any obvious elemental property.
Unexpectedly, this was a blessing in disguise. Even his six viscera were classified by the five elements. His liver and gallbladder were classified as wood property, his heart and small intestine as fire property, his spleen and stomach as earth property, his lungs and large intestine as metal property, and his kidneys and bladder as water property.
And the sanjiao in the cavity between the body and the viscera was free of the four elements of wind, thunder, fog, and darkness, which wrapped and protected the viscera.
It was necessary to explain what the sanjiao was. The sanjiao was one of the six viscera, located in the cavity between the body and the viscera, including the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity, and all the other viscera and organs of the human body. It was a collective name for the upper, middle, and lower jiao, which divided the torso into three parts. The viscera above the diaphragm was the upper jiao, including the heart and lungs; the viscera below the diaphragm to the umbilicus was the middle jiao, including the spleen, stomach, liver, gallbladder, and other viscera; and the viscera below the umbilicus was the lower jiao, including the kidney, large intestine, small intestine, and bladder.
At this moment, Ding Ning seemed to understand why Chiyou's inheritance needed to collect all nine totems. He looked at the elements from the perspective of human medicine. The sanjiao, as a relatively special existence among the six viscera, had the function of protecting the five viscera and six bowels.
From a big perspective, the human body was an independent small world, and from a small perspective, these elements were indispensable elements for human survival.
Wind, thunder, and fog were originally elemental substances derived from the operation of the five elements, but the dark element was more special. It belonged to the primitive element, and no matter where it was, it was an indispensable basic element.
What was the origin of the world?
From Ding Ning's understanding, it was actually the origin of darkness. In the chaos, there was darkness. Only when the chaos was split open, the sky would shine, the clear air would float, and the turbid air would fall. Only then could there be light and darkness in the world, and the foundation for building a world.
The principle of mutual promotion and restraint of the five elements made it a basic machine for creating various combination elements. The five basic elements either promoted or restrained each other, and under the interaction and combination, it could continuously create wind, thunder, clouds, and other elements adapted to this black and white world.
The element molecules adapted to this black and white world.
Therefore, the basic elements to build a world were the five elements of yin and yang, and on this basis, various kinds of element molecules were derived and mutated.
At this moment, Ding Ning had an epiphany. The element molecules of the five elements became extremely active. According to the mutual promotion principle of wood to fire, fire to earth, earth to metal, metal to water, water to wood, and wood to water, they quickly operated, forming a cycle of the five elements. Particles of various elements were constantly produced, and the alien energy was constantly destroyed as nourishment for his body to be reforged.
Ding Ning's body began to be reforged at a speed visible to the naked eye. His internal organs were constantly trembling, and the speed of recovery was much sharper and faster than that of the Greenwood Body. In the blink of an eye, he had recovered to his original state.
A layer of old skin that was riddled with scars continued to fall off, like a snake shedding its skin, revealing new skin that was sparkling and translucent like jade, emitting a faint fluorescent light. Every cell was full of vitality, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual power and blood energy.
His blood became viscous, and every drop of blood became like lead mercury, emitting a crystal red glow, flowing slowly and powerfully in his blood vessels. His reborn bones also became stronger and sturdier, flowing with a faint golden light pattern. His internal organs emitted a five-colored glow, and every cycle of the five elements provided Ding Ning with a massive amount of original energy of life.
Ding Ning's eyes shone, and his heart was filled with a strong sense of joy. This time, not only did he see through the mystery of the human body, but he also successfully transformed the Greenwood Body into the Five-Element Body and established the Five Elements Circulation Formation in his body. What did this mean?
It meant that from today on, even if he didn't absorb a trace of original energy from heaven and earth, and he didn't need to eat, he could rely on the circulation system in his body to complete self-sufficiency to meet his needs for survival. In any harsh environment that humans couldn't survive in, he could live well.
This was the ultimate path of the national martial arts, which was to establish the cycle of the five elements in the body and enter the legendary state of fasting. Then, he could control all kinds of elements in the world, fly in the sky, and become an immortal on earth.
It could be said that Ding Ning had unintentionally taken the road of national martial arts cultivation. The Internal Circulation Cultivation System was a latecomer and had already walked ahead of the External Circulation Cultivation System. At this moment, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was an expert in the Holy Martial Arts Realm.
This also showed that the people of the National Warrior's Mansion had actually taken the wrong path. After they advanced to the Divine Martial Arts Realm, they were so confused that they couldn't find the way forward, so they could only refer to the path of the Ancient Warriors and finally embarked on the path of the Ancient Warriors.
Seeing this scene, Hu Yaoshi was stunned. Just now, Ding Ning was badly mutilated, but in the blink of an eye, he shed a layer of dead skin and became spirited and energetic. His aura was much stronger than before, and the Qi in his body was as deep as the sea, as if there was a horrible prehistoric giant beast hibernating.
"Well, fellow practitioner, congratulations!"
Although Hu Yaoshi didn't understand what was going on, he could see that Ding Ning's survival was a blessing in disguise. Although he didn't seem to have a breakthrough in his realm, his strength had changed dramatically.
"Haha, fellow practitioner Hu, you're welcome!"
Only then did Ding Ning realize that he was naked. He ran his Origin Force a little and condensed an elemental battle suit. Then, he smiled awkwardly.
"Well, this is fellow practitioner's black jade gourd. I haven't thanked fellow practitioner for helping me eliminate the head of the Precious Medicine Pavilion. Just now, fellow practitioner gave me the gourd, which saved the lives of the three of us. As the saying goes, no words can express my gratitude for a great favor, and I have nothing to repay you. It seems that fellow practitioner has done a lot of research on formations. This Ghost Valley Strange Book was obtained by chance when I ventured into the ruins of the Holy Mountain. All my knowledge comes from this book. Now, I'll give it to fellow practitioner as a way to repay your kindness!"
Hu Yaoshi took out an ancient jade slip and handed it to Ding Ning.
