Chapter 442: 0287 Passing thousands of sails, one sees oneself, Break Second Shackles to make a name! (Three-in-one, 10,000 words added, seeking monthly ticket)_4

This world is an abstract representation, yet if humans could continue to grow stronger, transforming the false into the real, why couldn’t this Inner Realm eventually foster a real world?

Yet this step is too distant.

Even those at the Absolute Peak would likely not reach this realm.

"Breaking the first shackles is also called ’Grinding the Flesh,’ where power polishes the large muscles of the body, enhancing Qi Power. Breaking the second shackles, called ’Forging the Sinews,’ transforms power into True Qi, birthing the ’Inner Heaven and Earth River’ within the Inner Realm. The veins and blood vessels are the river channels.

By forging the sinews, you allow the river to become wide and mighty, and the riverbanks robust and stable, thereby nurturing and accommodating more True Qi, allowing it to smoothly circulate within the body, further polishing the muscles and forming an ecological cycle within the body, making the world increasingly perfect."

In his ancient and modern conversations with Elder Leisure, Lu Chenzhou’s understanding of Martial Arts deepened. This sage did not tell Lu Chenzhou how to break the second shackles, after all, times are different, but his occasional brilliant remarks provided enlightenment.

"This journey was worthwhile."

He gazed at the main trunk of the Martial Arts Tree.

Upon the "Cloud Ascending Ladder," another Cultivation Technique appeared.

[Life and Death Talisman: First Layer (1%)]

"The ’Life and Death Talisman’ is not an Inner Strength method but a Secret Technique. The minimum prerequisite to cultivate this method is to have broken through the second shackles and generated Innate True Qi. It consists of 12 layers, and at its extreme, it can condense 12 gray energy balls within the body simultaneously.

Its academic name is ’Life and Death Mysterious Pearl.’ If all these Mysterious Pearls explode, the stacked power is so formidable that even someone exceeding an entire Realm would not dare to confront it directly.

From Elder Leisure’s recollections, he once sparred with Zhang Zu in an uninhabited area of Kunlun Mountain just before his death. Although he was no match for Zhang Zu, he was confident that had he mastered this Secret Technique and released all 12 pearls together, he certainly could have severely injured Zhang Zu.

However, this technique was created by Elder Leisure in his later years, and he never mastered it, and with his personality, he would not use it against a friend merely for winning or losing."

"The ’Life and Death Talisman’ is a Middle-level Divine Skill Secret Technique.

It is positioned on the Martial Arts Tree just below the ’World Venerate Suffering Method.’

The latter is likely a Supreme Divine Skill Heart Refining Method.

As for the ’Great Shapeless Section,’ this technique is somewhat special because it is incomplete and thus unranked. Should it be completed, it would likely also be foundational like the ’Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pile,’ of course, its status would still be above a Supreme Divine Skill.

"After traveling so far, I’ve managed to acquire so many divine skills and supreme techniques for free. Once I break the second shackles, I need to start learning them. Just entering the beginning stages won’t be very effective."

Of course, learning divine skills must be done incrementally. At present, the ’Cloud Ascending Ladder’ and ’Life and Death Talisman’ seem simpler and can be tried first. ’World Venerate Suffering Method’ is too mysterious; it’s better to train in Buddhist principles and higher levels of cultivation later on.

Lu Chenzhou pushed open the thatched cottage and stepped into the deep night.

Gazes followed him, silent, until someone couldn’t hold back and said,

"Brother Lu, did you find what you were seeking?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded slightly, smiling,

"Yes."

The crowd parted to create a path for him, watching as his figure disappeared.

"Thatched cottage and enlightenment!"

"Don’t rush, enlighten in order."

...

The next day.

Li Gui and his wife left.

On the hillside of Longevity Valley, a thatched cottage was erected.

Lu Chenzhou now resided in Longevity Valley.

He felt a premonition that his breakthrough was imminent.

Longevity Valley, being behind the campus of Kunlun Martial Arts University, was safe.

The scenery here was beautiful, and the spiritual energy nourishing.

Lu Chenzhou planned to polish his power here.

In fact, not only he from Kunlun Martial Arts University was secluding in Longevity Valley for cultivation; several teachers and students were also residing in scattered cottages amongst the landscapes.

Lu Chenzhou used Inner Vision on his Dantian, where Tiger Form power took precedence, with Swallow Form power and Spear Power revolving around the Tiger Form, slowly rotating, forming a pattern similar to the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish. Under the mediation of the Yin Yang Divine Seed, there was no severe conflict.

"Tai Chi Boxing is indeed beneficial. Additionally, with the spirit of the Spear, I command both the Tiger and Swallow Dual Forms’ spirit, also alleviating some of their conflicts."

With this, it seemed this challenge was also resolved.

He inspected his musculature internally; the energy born within the acupoints continued to generate power incessantly, this power clinging to organs like the heart, lungs, and liver.

The organs are the most vulnerable places for a Martial Artist. Only a Great Grandmaster who has broken through the fifth shackles can truly begin the strong cultivation of organs, which is the fifth stage, ’Gold Plating the Organs.’ Then, the organs become as durable as a Golden Body, inherently possessing strong Defense Power. Even if an organ is removed, as long as it is replaced swiftly, it can heal itself automatically.

Some non-essential organs can even regenerate.

Thus, a Great Grandmaster, unless instantly destroyed, complete obliteration of their internal organs, provided there’s a glimmer of life left, can preserve their life. Paired with Great Medicine and Life Spring, they can quickly recover as before, vibrant and energetic.

In the eyes of ordinary people, what would be fatal wounds are no longer fatal.

Of course, missing a heart or head still results in death.

While refining his power, Lu Chenzhou continued his cultivation with the ’Bodhi Technique.’ Additionally, Kunlun Martial Arts University granted him access to the Gravity Training Room where he could practice Cross Training.

Breaking through and cultivating did not interfere with each other.

...

Su City.

Tang Zheng listened to the reports from his subordinates, lost in thought.

"He’s residing in Longevity Valley at Kunlun Martial Arts University?"

Has Lu Chenzhou ended his travels just like that?

Could it be that he’s ready to break the second shackles?

To his knowledge, this young man had only advanced three years ago.

A subordinate asked,

"Should we still deploy Death Soldiers? Our people are hidden outside Kunlun."

With a glint of madness in his eyes, Tang Zheng eventually responded calmly:
