Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 584: The Kung Fu Achievements that Directly Achieve the Martial Saint Realm
It is unknown how many years the desolate world has existed.

Judging from the various books and strange stories that Zhang Xiaojiu and Zhang Laosan have collected for Jiang Sheng in the past three years, it has existed for at least 100,000 years.

Over such a long period of time, the martial arts of the Wilderness have evolved and developed from the inheritance of the early practitioners, and are now very mature.

From strengthening the body to having skin of steel and bones, moving blood to open the orifices, unblocking the meridians and embracing the elixir, and storing the inner spirit, a complete system has been formed.

And this system, in Jiang Sheng's view, is the martial arts evolution of Xuanmen Taoism.

Strengthening the body can be seen as drawing Qi into the body to reach the Qi training stage, having skin of copper and bones of iron can be seen as the foundation building stage, while moving blood and opening the orifices is the purple mansion stage, opening the meridians and embracing the elixir is the golden elixir stage, and the inner scene of the gods is the Nascent Soul and the God of Transformation.

The inner scene evolves a small inner world within the body, which is like the Nascent Soul realm of the Nascent Soul; and the martial arts vision of the Shenzang realm is like the Dharmakāya of the Huashen realm.

This is a complete, systematic, and interconnected cultivation inheritance.

It was adapted by the practitioners of the past based on the middle and lower six realms.

Legend has it that there is a realm above the Divine Treasure, and Jiang Sheng believes it.

There is no telling how many worlds that wild beast has swallowed up. There must have been many cultivators devoured by it, and among them there must have been those in the upper three realms.

If it weren't for the immortals and gods in the upper three realms personally evolving it, a set of exercises that goes directly from Qi training to godhood would not be so easy to create.

Jiang Sheng even suspected that after the immortals and gods in the upper three realms of the past found that they could not use the spiritual energy, they derived the martial arts inheritance based on their own skills inheritance and experience, and they must have cultivated to the level above the divine treasure.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be rumors of immortal inheritance in this desolate world, nor would there be so many powerful forces.

Zhang Laosan had never been out of Liuhe Village, but he knew that Liuhe Village belonged to Shancheng Town, and Shancheng Town belonged to Jiuliancheng.

Whether it is Jiulian City or Mo Shui City, they are both part of Sanhe County, but each city has its own family of cultivators.

The owner of Sanhe County is the Liu family, and the Wang family of Jiuliancheng and the Mo family of Mo Shuicheng are both subordinates of the Liu family. The last time Jiuliancheng and Mo Shuicheng had a conflict, it was the Liu family that resolved it.

Sanhe County is very large, with a jurisdiction over more than 100,000 miles, and can almost be called a county.

But Sanhe County is just a subordinate county of Wuhuazhou, and the position of county governor of Sanhe Liu family was recognized by the capital of Wuhuazhou.

According to legend, the Sanhe Liu family were descendants of immortals in the past, and inherited some skills that reached the Tongmai Baodan realm.

At the level of Wuhuazhou, the nobles standing at the top of the continent have inherited the martial arts skills of the Martial Saint Realm.
These things are not difficult to understand; after all, they are not something shameful.

Even the Sanhe Liu family wished that everyone knew how powerful they were, and the same went for the nobles at the top.

There are dynasties, aristocratic families, sects, and gangs in the wild world.

Gangs are scattered throughout villages, counties and towns, while aristocratic families and clans are rooted in continents and counties.

Although there is a dynasty that unified the world, the desolate world today is actually jointly ruled by the dynasty and the aristocratic families and sects. Outside the capital area, the big aristocratic families and sects are the real masters of each continent.

For example, Wuhuazhou, its real master is Liuyan Sect.

This is a truly top-level sect, with the martial arts skills of the Martial Saint that have been passed down from generation to generation. There are always Martial Saint-level beings in the sect, dominating the entire continent.

Jiang Sheng suspected that the dynasty of the Wilderness was established by the gods in the past. After the gods passed away, the descendants fought among themselves and each occupied one side, but they maintained a fragile harmony and balance.
This suspicion was not Jiang Sheng's random guess, but the conclusion he came to after a careful discussion with Xiangyu Xianjun.

Xiangyu Xianjun even proposed a series of plans to Jiang Sheng for the next sixty years.

This includes visiting various large sects and families to learn about the skills, and finally entering the capital to see the skills in the imperial city.

Jiang Sheng even suggested that they visit the imperial mausoleum and the ancestral tombs of various sects and families to see if there are any clues.
When Jiang Sheng mentioned visiting other people's royal ancestral tombs, Xiangyu Xianjun looked at Jiang Sheng with something strange in his eyes.

Is this really from Penglai Dao Sect?
Why do you want to visit other people’s ancestral graves right away?
"My Lord, the Tao follows nature, and the Tao advocates inaction. Inaction is the ability to do everything."

"Didn't the Immortal Lord also go to the caves of those monks who had passed away to search for treasures in the past?"

Xiangyu Xianjun felt that there was nothing wrong with what Jiang Sheng said, but it was a little strange.

He is indeed a true disciple of Xuanmen, and his actions are really unconventional.
"My fists and feet are powerless, is this how I taught you?"

"Quick, faster!"

"You're not quick with your fists and feet, are you waiting for others to hit you first?"

In the back mountain of Liuhe Village, Jiang Sheng sat in a wheelchair, watching Zhang Xiaojiu perform the Five Form Fist.

Before I knew it, another three years had passed.

Zhang Xiaojiu is already a fifteen-year-old boy, which is the age for poor families to get married and have children.

After all, poor people don’t have the talent, knowledge or financial resources to practice martial arts, so they can only get married, have children, and then support their family.

Zhang Xiaojiu is different. Under Jiang Sheng's guidance, Zhang Xiaojiu not only learned to read and practice martial arts, but also started to make medicine. Strengthening the body also requires nourishment, not to mention that the subsequent copper skin and iron bones require more food and medicinal materials to nourish, to avoid qi and blood deficiency.

So Zhang Xiaojiu followed Jiang Sheng's instructions, picked medicinal herbs, refined ointments and powders, and sold them in Shancheng Town to exchange some money for meat.

The meat purchased is naturally not ordinary meat.

There are monsters in the wild world.

Demonic beasts are different from monsters. They exist in every world. No matter whether it is the big world or the small or medium-sized world, there are always these creatures with thick skin, strong blood and tenacious growth.

After 100,000 years of reproduction in the Wilderness, all kinds of monsters have emerged in an endless stream. The flesh and blood of monsters contain stronger qi and blood, which are most useful to warriors.

According to Jiang Sheng's judgment, the so-called "Tongmai Baodan" means to allow the demonic power and qi and blood to flow through the meridians, gather in the dantian and transform into a golden pill of qi and blood.

According to legend, both Tongmai Baodan and Neijing Shenzang require various secret medicines, and when a warrior reaches the Tongmai Baodan realm, he will have strange visions of qi and blood, and when he reaches Neijing Shenzang, he will have even more strange visions of martial arts. Are these strange visions the result of devouring too much flesh and blood of monsters and acquiring some of the monsters' characteristics, which are stimulated?

Jiang Sheng mentioned this speculation to Xiangyu Immortal Lord, who agreed with Jiang Sheng's speculation.

Maybe the original martial arts was not like this, but after a hundred thousand years of development, coupled with the ascension of the first immortals and gods, it gradually became this way.

After all, the original immortals and gods had magic power in their bodies, but they were unable to mobilize it. They used the magic power to strengthen themselves and then broke through the realm step by step. With the blessing of the Tao fruit, what they manifested in the end might be the Dharma image of the immortals and gods.

Later generations did not have the magical powers and fruits of the Tao like immortals and gods, so they could only practice by using various monsters as their source of power. This has evolved to this day, and the strange phenomena of qi and blood have the characteristics of monsters, which are no exception.

Perhaps the children of the great families and sects in the Wilderness are born with the blood of certain monsters in their bodies.

After all, their ancestors have devoured the flesh and blood of so many monsters, so it is not surprising that they have passed it on to their descendants.

This can also explain why those big families and big sects have so many good martial arts seedlings who can quickly break through the realm, and why there are people who have reached the Tongmai Baodan and even the Neijing Shenzang realm in every generation.
However, Jiang Sheng did not say much to Zhang Xiaojiu about these things. After all, these were just guesses made by Jiang Sheng and Xiangyu Xianjun based on various intelligence.

And they are still trapped in Liuhe Village. Unless they leave this small village and go to other places to see those martial artists, grand masters and even martial saints with their own eyes, all their speculations are false.

And Zhang Xiaojiu doesn't need to know these things. Zhang Xiaojiu just needs to follow the training taught by Jiang Sheng.

Now Zhang Xiaojiu is five years old. He has spent three years training his body, three years strengthening his internal organs, and six years strengthening his muscles and bones. He has taken a lot of medicinal herbs under Jiang Sheng's guidance and has finally laid a solid foundation.

Jiang Sheng had seen most of the medicinal herbs in the Wilderness before, so he could tell what their effects were at a glance.

There is sufficient source energy in the wilderness, but no spiritual energy. Therefore, all the precious medicines either have abundant source energy or are contaminated with the breath, blood, saliva, etc. of certain monsters. The efficacy of the medicine is obviously different from that in the outside world.

Jiang Sheng also needed to practice them one by one to know what changes had occurred to these herbs.

However, through the herbal books collected by Zhang Xiaojiu and others, plus Jiang Sheng's own knowledge, Jiang Sheng was able to clearly understand the medicinal properties and pharmacology of these herbs. He even deduced a number of prescriptions based on these herbs.

If you understand one law, you will understand all laws. The knowledge Jiang Sheng learned in Penglai Taoist Sect is not false.

Although Jiang Sheng was not an alchemy genius, he had once refined elixirs of the Void Refining Realm. It was very simple for him to deduce some basic martial arts elixir recipes with his bird's-eye view.

Now Zhang Xiaojiu is practicing by taking the prescription modified by Jiang Sheng. It took him only six years to build a solid foundation and strengthen his bones from a village boy.

When Zhang Xiaojiu practiced the Five Form Fist over and over again, his speed became faster and faster, gradually creating a phantom, and finally punching out with a sound that made bones crack, Jiang Sheng finally nodded with satisfaction.

"master!"

Zhang Xiaojiu was sweating profusely as he looked at Jiang Sheng, his eyes sparkling.

Today, Zhang Xiaojiu has a strong physique, a bright gaze, and walks gracefully. This is what we call a young tiger.

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, you finally got some form."

"Xiao Jiu, do you still remember that I said I would teach you a martial arts technique that would lead you directly to the Martial Saint realm?"

Zhang Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Jiang Sheng with wide eyes: "Master, do you really have this skill?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Zhang Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he felt as if he had been electrocuted. He understood, he understood everything!

It was because Master had the skills that could directly lead him to the realm of Martial Saint that he was hunted down and reduced to this state, and he has been unable to get out of his wheelchair for so many years!

Yes, yes, it must be so!

The master must have discovered the martial arts inheritance left by an immortal in a cave, and then was ambushed by his companions, and maybe even hunted down by some big sects and big families, so he came all the way to this small place like Liuhe Village, and suffered such serious injuries!
This is what is said in The Legend of the Heroes of Sanhe and The Legend of the Emperor of Wuhua!
Zhang Xiaojiu felt that he had finally discovered the truth, and immediately said, "Master, don't worry!"

"I will practice diligently according to your teachings. When I become a Martial Saint, I will go find those who harmed you and avenge you!"
