Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 441 Heaven and earth fill the body!

Exchange blood!

Blood is the source of the martial body, the foundation of real living beings, and the key to connecting "qi" and "body".

The body of a martial artist is made up of flesh under the skin, tendons within the flesh, tendons surrounding bones, and reaching the internal organs and deep within the jade marrow. Only "blood" runs through the whole body, from the internal organs to the bone marrow, and from the outside to the skin, flesh, and fascia. It is the source of connection for everything.

It can be said that the practice of body-tempering martial arts, from grinding the skin and training the flesh to the stage of cleansing the marrow to cultivate a martial body, is to pile up parts from the outside to the inside, condense them to perfection, and finally completely integrate them with the step of changing blood!
Before blood transfusion.

The internal energy of the martial artist is condensed from the internal organs that absorb and exhale the power of heaven and earth, and then gathered together. After taking the step of exchanging blood, the martial blood will completely penetrate all parts of the body and will be able to transport qi and blood from the martial body to condense the internal energy of the martial art. It also means the complete completion of the 'inner heaven and earth'. From now on, the power is immense and powerful at the flick of a finger.

Exchanging blood in a marrow cleansing realm battle is actually an almost impossible thing to happen, because even the first nine Qiankun masters who entered the marrow cleansing realm with the way of Qiankun, who were known as invincible among the masters, were still no match for any blood exchanging realm master. The most they could do was to escape unscathed from the hands of a blood exchanging realm master.

This is because they simply do not possess the power to penetrate one another and are unable to fully unleash the power of their martial arts bodies.

Just like ordinary people, if they can exert 20% to 30% of their muscle strength, they are already quite masters. Martial artists can exert 40% to 50% when they practice their skills, and 70% to 80% when they reach the grandmaster level. Only then can they truly achieve the state of exerting the body to the extreme and using the power of every drop of blood to the utmost!
now.

Chen Mu had been in this world for fifteen years and had practiced martial arts for nearly thirteen years. After going through the seven stages of skin grinding, flesh training, tendon strengthening, bone strengthening, organ training, viscera strengthening, and marrow cleansing, he finally reached the threshold of blood transfusion and jumped over it!

Almost at the moment when the entrance to the top of Chen Mu's skull was completely opened, the power of heaven and earth within a radius of more than ten miles began to violently agitate, and with Chen Mu as the center, it surged towards him in a mighty force!

Wow.

These forces of heaven and earth were like tides, flowing down from Chen Mu's crown, pouring into his body along the top of his skull, rushing to his limbs and bones, penetrating all his blood vessels and meridians, washing every piece of flesh, every inch of meridians, and even every drop of blood in his body!
This process was not so comfortable. It was almost like being pierced by thousands of needles, all over the body and deep into the flesh. This feeling could not even be blocked, because almost all the senses of the body were awakened by the surging power of heaven and earth, and were so sharp that Chen Mu could even clearly feel the existence of every drop of blood in his body!

but.

This kind of pain is nothing for those who can take the step of blood transfusion. It is enough to make ordinary people faint in an instant, or even suffer the torture of being worse than death countless times between fainting and waking up. However, for those whose martial arts will is condensed to the extreme and whose mind is as clear as a mirror and calm as water, they can bear it calmly.

However, Chen Mu at this moment was not only enduring the pain of the cleansing of his flesh and blood, but also the training of his mind and soul. At the moment his entrance was opened, although his soul still existed in his body, it was no longer protected by his body, but was completely exposed between heaven and earth, and like his body, it was enduring the erosion of the power of heaven and earth!
now.

If you look at Chen Mu from a distance, you can see that Chen Mu is sitting cross-legged. The clothes on his body have long been shattered under the surging power of heaven and earth, turning into dust and disintegrating. Only his unparalleled and powerful Qiankun martial body remains. His whole body is like the scorching sun, glowing with unparalleled blood energy, enough to burn everything!
And on the top of its head, there is a faint halo radiating, like a bright moon shining, reflecting the physical and blood energy that is as magnificent as the scorching sun.

This is exactly the phenomenon that occurs when a warrior is attempting to exchange blood.

The scorching sun is approaching!

The moon is bright overhead!

The heart and soul are extremely illusory things for a warrior. Before the blood transfusion, the heart and soul of a warrior are hidden deep in the body. In fact, it is better to say that they are a part of the body and it is impossible to separate them out. As the saying goes, the soul dies when the body dies. Only at the moment of death, the heart and soul return to extinction along with the body.

Only at the stage of blood transfusion does the warrior's soul separate from the body in a true sense for the first time and reveal its essence. It is not the little man described in many strange stories that looks like the original body, but a halo hanging above the head, like a bright moon.

Chen Mu could feel that the extremely powerful heart and soul power nurtured by the Red Fruit was gradually being consolidated under the scouring and cleansing of the power of heaven and earth, and it seemed to be condensing into substance and could truly manifest between heaven and earth.

at the same time.

He could also feel very clearly the vastness of the entire Daxuan world, the boundlessness of this world, and even a sense of freedom that made his soul seem to rise to the sky, become one with the world, and overlook the human world.

At this moment, the excruciating pain from being pierced by thousands of needles in his body was almost like sinking in the sea of ​​suffering in the human world. The dark scenes he experienced in the first two years after coming to this world, the scenes of crawling at the bottom of society, kept appearing in front of Chen Mu's eyes. Even his deeper memories, which were somewhat vague, and the many hardships and pains he had experienced in his previous life, also appeared in his sight.

Escape.

It was as if there was such a voice tempting him.

It seemed that as long as he had the will, he could completely get rid of all these sufferings, escape from the sea of ​​misery, achieve transcendence and great freedom, never again suffer the pain of the world, never again have to experience torture and suffering.

On one side is the world full of pain and thorns, and on the other side is the vast universe. Everything seems clearly divided.

"Is this the so-called life and death situation..."

However, when facing this temptation, Chen Mu did not feel any ups and downs in his heart. His mind was not confused at all and he always remained clear. He just sighed slightly in his heart.

The step of impacting blood transfusion is indeed difficult. The martial arts will must be truly condensed to the extreme. With the will to move forward and the determination to never look back, one must also have a clear mind like still water, only then can one accept the whole process calmly.

now.

If you are even slightly shaken and want to get rid of the pain, your soul will truly return to heaven and you will pass away on the spot.

Human beings are born in heaven and earth, bearing the cause and effect from heaven and earth. If one wants to reach the top of heaven and earth and pursue the path to transcend heaven and earth, the pain and suffering that one endures are all tempering. Anyone who has any intention of escaping will never achieve enlightenment.

After all, Chen Mu was born as a mere mortal, not a divine being. Without undergoing a transformation step by step and climbing up the ladder step by step, how could he be qualified to be on par with heaven and earth? !

The mental and spiritual suffering seemed like a passing cloud to Chen Mu.

Not to mention the physical hardships. Only those whose martial bodies are not strong enough, or who have some flaws or hidden injuries, will have an outbreak when they are confronted with a blood transfusion, turning it into a huge catastrophe. However, Chen Mu's Qiankun martial body is flawless, and it has endured the cleansing of the power of heaven and earth, making it almost as unshakable as a reef.

"After this, it's time to have a blood transfusion."

Chen Mu felt his heart surge for a moment. After thirteen years of hard training, he was finally going to cross the thick sea of ​​clouds and reach the pinnacle of body-tempering martial arts. As his soul and body were being refined, he recalled the past and it seemed like just a blink of an eye.

At about the time when Chen Mu took that step forward to reach the Blood Exchange Realm, in the dark trench far away in the underwater cave where he was in seclusion, a figure with a restrained aura like a stubborn stone suddenly opened his eyes.

It was Emperor Xuan, Ji Yongzhao!
He cast his gaze towards the place where Chen Mu was in retreat. A deep light flashed in his eyes, and the perception of the heavenly realm opened in an instant, allowing his gaze to almost penetrate the heavy rock layers and see the scene in the cave where Chen Mu was in retreat.

"The scorching sun is upon me, and the bright moon is overhead!"

Ji Yongzhao took a deep breath, his eyes burning for a moment.

After all, it was a perfect martial body prepared for him by God, and the foundation was so solid that it was almost unbelievable!

When ordinary warriors in the Marrow Cleansing Realm attempt to exchange blood, they will often only experience the vision of 'the blazing sun approaching, the bright moon overhead' when they are about to succeed. However, Chen Mu saw this vision as soon as he took a step forward!

Just as he had expected, Chen Mu's breakthrough to the Blood Exchange Realm was probably without any bottleneck at all. That threshold was like a thin layer of window paper to him, which could be broken with a single poke, without any obstacles. There was no time to lose!

Chen Mu's foundation was too solid, and even his mind and soul seemed very strong. If he allowed Chen Mu to be washed and cleansed by the power of heaven and earth, for a while longer, he might not be able to steal Chen Mu's martial body!

Ji Yongzhao stood up and walked towards the cave where Chen Mu was. The distance of more than ten miles was reached in an instant for him, and he arrived outside the closed underwater cave.

Followed by.

Without any hesitation, nor did he break the stone wall of the cave, he sat cross-legged on the rock. In an instant, the blood in his body began to boil and surge, and the root power of the Qiankun martial body was drawn away by him in large quantities, and his whole face quickly turned pale.

This extremely condensed energy and blood finally boiled up in the deepest part of the body, surrounding his heart and soul, and forced its way out of the body through the entrance of the top of the skull, like a boiling sun enveloping a bright crescent moon!

hum!
The moment the soul left the body, a tremendous pressure from between heaven and earth descended upon it.

Even if they are masters of the celestial realm, they cannot actually separate their souls from the body completely and achieve things like "wandering in the heavens and the earth". Their thoughts can blend with the heavens and the earth and achieve the unity of man and nature, but that premise is based on the physical body. Just as a warrior cannot cultivate the third level of artistic conception without a blood transfusion, once the soul is truly separated from the body, it is like rootless duckweed!

Ji Yongzhao was the same at this moment.

If his soul continues to separate from his body and wander between heaven and earth, it will not take long for it to be completely reduced to ashes, disappear in heaven and earth, and return to extinction.

Even if he mobilized most of his energy and blood as support and reliance, he could not last too long between heaven and earth.

But that's enough!
He was not trying to do anything like traveling around the universe. He just wanted his soul to break free from his body, get rid of the constraints and come between heaven and earth. Then he could follow the trend of heaven and earth!

At this moment, Chen Mu was trying to get a blood transfusion, drawing the power of heaven and earth into his body. The power of heaven and earth within a radius of more than ten miles was centered on him, being pulled in like a whirlpool, rolling in.

The moment Ji Yongzhao's soul left his body and completely got rid of his flesh and came between heaven and earth, it was swept away by the power of heaven and earth and rushed straight towards Chen Mu who was in the center, without him having to deliberately control it!
"Ok?"

Chen Mu, who was enduring the cleansing of heaven and earth, was the first to notice something unusual when Ji Yongzhao's real body arrived outside the underwater cave where he was in seclusion. However, he did not care too much about it, because although he was enduring the scouring and cleansing of heaven and earth at this moment, his foundation was too solid. Even in his current state, he was not without the ability to take action.

The only difference is that this uninvited guest had a very strange aura and was not a familiar figure to the Master of Xuanji Pavilion and others.

Before he could figure out who this person was, he sensed that the other party seemed to have made some huge noise, causing a violent fluctuation between heaven and earth. Then he saw that in the power of heaven and earth surging from all directions, a ball of blazing fire was swept towards him!

This ball of fire completely conforms to the momentum of heaven and earth, forming a backflow force, and was about to pour into his body through the top of his head!

"soul?"

At this moment, Chen Mu also clearly sensed the source of the fire. It was actually a ball of soul power that was wrapped up in surging blood and energy. It was of the same essence as his soul that was undergoing the cleansing of heaven and earth at this moment!

Although he was not sure what the other party was going to do, at this moment, Chen Mu was indeed unable to interrupt the impact of the Blood Exchange Realm. Once he was forcibly interrupted, his entrance and soul would inevitably be damaged, just like Qin Mengjun back then.

In this moment.

The soul wrapped in the fiery blood and energy poured down from the sky and crashed into Chen Mu's soul.

Boom! ! !

This was a collision between the heart and the soul. The scene in the cave was almost silent, with only a few tiny sparks. But at the level of consciousness, it was like a thunderclap, exploding the dark world!

Chen Mu's soul, which was originally located at the entrance of the top of his head and had been cleansed by heaven and earth, sank slightly an inch into his body after this impact. The bright moon hanging above his head sank half into his body.

And the other side.

The ball of soul light wrapped in the fiery blood flew back three feet under the collision. The blood wrapped in it almost collapsed at once, and the soul inside, which was like a bright moon, suddenly became dim.

Chen Mu seemed to hear a faint cry of pain, mixed with a hint of shock.

"This is impossible!"

Without waiting for Chen Mu to react further.

But the soul light wrapped in the fiery blood suddenly became stronger again, following the momentum of heaven and earth, and once again hit Chen Mu's entrance, as if it wanted to forcibly smash Chen Mu's soul and break into his body through his entrance!
"Humph."

When Chen Mu saw this, a chill rose in his heart.

Although he still hadn't figured out the details at this point, he was roughly certain of one thing: this was a method of attacking the heart and soul, and they wanted to take advantage of the moment when he was undergoing a blood transfusion to destroy his heart and soul!
As for what happens next, either they want to use his body to refine some kind of celestial corpse, or, as he thought, they want to forcibly steal his body. These are nothing more than evil means.

"Sideways!"

Facing the crisis at this moment, Chen Mu was calm and fearless. His will was not shaken at all. He stood still. Inside his body, which was being cleansed by the power of heaven and earth, a surge of blood and energy exploded and surged up!

If it weren't for the Chi Sheng Guo that condensed his mind and soul, the collision just now would have most likely caused serious damage to his mind and soul. Even if he still had the strength to resist afterwards, the situation would definitely not be good.

But now it's different!
The strength of his condensed soul and heart, even though it has not yet undergone complete cleansing by heaven and earth, is almost as strong as that of a true celestial master. Moreover, the opponent's soul and heart broke out of his body and was like rootless duckweed, while his soul and heart were completely exposed between heaven and earth, with no way to retreat, but he had a body to rely on!
The foundation of his Qiankun martial body is so solid and strong that even now, when he is being cleansed by the power of heaven and earth, he can still forcefully raise his blood and energy, rush against the profound gate, and bless his heart and soul!

The vigorous energy and blood surrounded the Heart and Soul Moon, dyeing it red, and finally collided with the attacking Soul Moon again.

boom! ! !
There was no need for any skill in the collision between the heart and the soul, it was just a real head-on collision. This collision made Chen Mu's consciousness go dark for a short time, but he recovered in a moment.

On the other side, the soul light that collided with him, and the fiery blood energy it carried, were almost completely disintegrated under this collision. Even the body of the soul light inside it, the 'bright moon', also had four or five cracks!

"what!"

A scream filled with pain came from the shattered bright moon.

Finally, he no longer dared to fight Chen Mu head-on, but saw the dim moonlight surrounding him, which forcibly gathered the almost disintegrated wisps of remaining blood and energy, wrapped up his soul, and staggered away out of the cave.
