Chapter 6
The [Five Divine Fists] allowed one to visualize five divinities in the world.
Each time he visualized a different technique, it would bring about a completely different fist aura.
This set of fist techniques could train all the bones and muscles in the body.
It was especially effective in blood changing, organ refining, and marrow cleansing!
Li Ming steadily practiced the [Five Divine Fists] technique in his courtyard.
This fist technique combined strength and gentleness, and, coupled with the blazing sun true qi, it left his entire body comfortable.
“Bang!”
A burst of blazing sun true qi shot out of his body along the path of his punch and hit the trunk of a big tree beside him, creating a muffled bang.
Li Ming looked over and found that a flaming mark was left in the tree.
“What a powerful fist technique! Moreover, I can use it in conjunction with the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.”
At this moment, the blazing sun true qi in his body had also calmed down. The muscles across his body had stopped trembling violently as they had been previously, and his breathing and true qi had stabilized.
When he was performing the [Five Divine Fists], Li Ming’s breathing and movements were completely in sync.
His qi and blood were transmitted from each of his major acupuncture points to every part of his body, corresponding to one of the six basic stages of body refining, blood changing!
The breathing that he had to follow during the intense exercise also caused his internal organs to have to contract. The strong contraction resulted in the internal organs inside his body trembling from the exertion of force.
At the same time, the mysterious energy that resulted from his visualization seeped into his bones and muscles, stimulating the tenacity of every inch of his bones.
These two events precisely corresponded to the organ refining and marrow cleansing of fundamental body refining!
Li Ming kept on adjusting himself, trying to perform the [Five Divine Fists] to perfection.
While the postures only looked slightly special, they were actually quite complicated.
In addition, he had to send his internal qi through his acupoints at the same time. Even the slightest error would lead to the failure of the visualization.
If there was even the slightest mistake in the control of internal qi, it would cause the technique to fail.
Li Ming visualized and punched time and time again.
The movements of his body, his breathing, the timing of his internal qi, the visualization of the five divinities…
When all of these aspects were perfectly in sync, Li Ming finally completed his first set of practice for the [Five Divine Fists].
He stopped and stood on the spot as he finished the set. He could still hear the knocking and trembling sounds of his bones hitting against his muscles.
“Phew… What a wonderful feeling.”
Li Ming smiled.
The [Five Divine Fists] was a powerful technique, and it was not inferior to those immortal techniques. He had not made the wrong choice.
Moreover, it could also help him in refining his body.
It was especially effective in blood changing, organ refining, and marrow cleansing.
However, he could not neglect the other basic skills.
The six basic skills were the most important part of body cultivation.
Stance training, bone forging, blood changing, skin tempering, organ refining, and marrow cleansing.
These six basic skills were not like qi refining in qi cultivation which was a realm on its own.
Instead, these skills were processes that brought continuous improvements to one’s life essence!
Therefore, the ultimate goal of every martial dao cultivation technique was to let the physical body continue to transform and finally become out of the ordinary.
These six basic skills needed to be practiced repeatedly, and quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes.
When one’s quality reached the extreme, they would be able to move mountains and seas, and their physical bodies could become godly.
Although there was a limit to the cultivation technique, the body could continue to grow.
It could be said that this path was endless!
…
After Li Ming comprehended the [Five Divine Fists], he felt that every inch of his body had been refined.
He could truly feel that he had become stronger!
In his excitement, he began to practice the [Five Divine Fists] again.
One time, two times, the blazing sun true qi in his body was gradually refined through the fist technique.
Through repetitive training, the excess true qi was all refined and dissolved into his body.
The rest of the pure true qi flew along Li Ming’s meridians along with his natural breathing.
Body cultivators were not like qi cultivators who needed to refine the spiritual qi of the world.
Body cultivators train their body’s strength and produce internal energy.
He relied on the six basic skills to use his inner qi to open up all the major and minor acupuncture points, meridians, and channels in his body!
In the end, it was not just the meridians, but also the muscles, skin, bones, and even the five viscera, six bowels, and bone marrow.
As Li Ming was now, he could feel his blood essence burn with every punch.
“Whoosh!”
After a series of punches, the ringing from the sound of air being broken by the speed of his punches could still be heard.
Li Ming’s skill, [Martial Arts Fanatic], increased the power of any of his martial dao cultivation techniques by 50%.
He had no doubt that he could break the old tree with one punch.
“Huff…”
Li Ming exhaled slowly. After that last punch, his breath was like a clap of thunder.
His entire body felt comfortable. His bones and muscles felt numb. It had been a long time since he had felt so refreshed.
Just now, together with the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art], he completed a round of stance training, bone forging, blood changing, organ refining, and marrow cleansing.
It was equivalent to a thorough cleansing.
Of course, the [Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art] and [Five Divine Fists] did not include skin tempering, one of the six basic skills.
Every cultivation technique had the points they focused on, so it was naturally impossible to cover all of the six skills.
On the contrary, the effects were actually better when focusing on specific aspects.
“Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art, level three…”
“Five Divine Fists, rough understanding…”
Li Ming was drenched in sweat, but the joy in his eyes could not hidden at all.
Although his realm did not increase, his strength was several times higher than before!
This strength was referring to his actual combat strength.
Li Ming was very happy. After three years of body tempering, he had finally welcomed the day of bearing fruit.
He was about to take a shower to wash away the sweat that had been discharged from his fist training.
However, the vortex in his dantian that had been silent for a long time began to tremble slowly.
His lower abdomen contracted slightly, and Li Ming’s eyes suddenly opened.
“The qi refining realm actually loosened for me?”
This was a surprise that caught him off guard!
He was only at the third level of the qi refining realm. It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of breaking through.
Looking at the new disciples surpassing him one by one, Li Ming could only focus on refining his body again and again.
But now… His qi refining was about to break through as well!
The spiritual qi in the air rushed to the vortex in Li Ming’s dantian and soon caused the vortex to grow even larger.
Like a crazy magnet, Li Ming needed to completely integrate himself with his meditation and breathing.
He immediately sat down with his legs crossed. As the spiritual qi continued to pour in, pale white qi flow revolved around Li Ming rhythmically, and even the dead leaves in the courtyard danced along.
Generally speaking, it was very rare for there to be such a commotion when a third-stage qi refining cultivator broke through to the fourth-stage qi refining realm.
For Li Ming, although his breakthrough was unexpected, it was as smooth as water flowing when a channel was formed.
After a while, Li Ming’s face exuded a faint glow, causing his face to look like white jade.
His entire body was also cleansed by the spiritual qi.
The spiritual qi vortex in his body was spinning slowly, and it was much stronger than before.
As the vortex completely stabilized, Li Ming opened his eyes and everything in front of him became more clearer.
He was now at the fourth-stage qi refining realm, and the gap between his body refining was closed…
His senses were heightened, and he could even hear the tiny chirping of insects around him.
Immortal cultivation was also about communicating with the world, which was really mysterious.
“It’s really the fourth level!”
Compared to the progress of his body cultivation, Li Ming was more excited to have broken through to the fourth level of qi refining.
This could be considered to be a preliminary confirmation of his thoughts.
Improving one’s martial arts aptitude could also improve one’s immortal cultivation aptitude!
The stones from other mountains could be used to attack jade.
His path was indeed correct.
