Zhang Shen set the tone for the affairs of the Ancient Alliance. Countless people became busy because of this, but he himself became more free.
It just so happens that he needs time to practice.
All the things that happened in between were just a little diversion after his long retreat. Now all the things he wanted to do have been completed, and the seeds of some things have been planted. It is time to continue to work hard.
Originally, in terms of the level of the physical body, one only needed to devour rare treasures every day to gain a large amount of experience points and advance quickly. However, some time ago, after Zhang Shen's physical body level was raised to the fourth level of the Dharmakaya, this was no longer possible.
“I never thought that such changes would occur when the physical body reaches the fourth level of Dharmakāya.” Zhang Shen said to himself.
A few days ago, his physical body level entered the fourth level of Dharmakāya, becoming even more powerful.
After that, every time he swallowed rare treasures to gain experience points to improve the level of his physical body, knowledge and insights about the physical body would emerge in his mind.
If you stop investing experience points into your physical body level, these knowledge and insights will also cease.
This situation surprised Zhang Shen very much.
After thinking deeply, he made some guesses.
There are nine realms in martial arts, namely acquired, innate, true elixir, dharma, demigod, true god, god monarch, god king, and god emperor.
Let’s not talk about the acquired, innate, and true elixir for now, and first talk about the realm of Dharma.
Those who practice Dharma-nature comprehend the Way of Heaven and Earth, build their own body, and become the foundation of divinity.
This is a stage of laying the foundation. Whether one can become a god in the future depends on whether the foundation laid in this stage is strong and reliable enough.
The above words are about the practice of Dharmakāya realm.
Comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth, read through ancient and modern classics, cultivate thousands of skills, extract their essence and create your own most powerful Dharma skill.
At this stage, every Dharmadhatu, if he has great ambitions, must read through thousands of martial arts and techniques, comprehend the essence of them and turn them into his own nourishment.
No one can skip this step.
Of course, if one is gifted with extraordinary talent, and can comprehend the wisdom accumulated by others from reading thousands of classics just by relying on a book of skills and facing the heaven and earth every day, then the matter of reading the classics of predecessors can be omitted.
Precisely because few people can do this, the usual practice is to read and comprehend the classics of martial arts created by predecessors in order to accumulate extremely deep knowledge, and use this as the soil to create one's own most powerful martial arts.
This step is crucial as it involves the secret of becoming a god.
“Although one cannot create his own strongest martial arts, one can still cultivate to the level of a demigod by learning the martial arts created by predecessors, but demigod is the pinnacle of this kind of people.”
"Until they die, they will never have the hope of breaking through to become a True God."
Zhang Shen muttered to himself. Originally, he didn't know these secrets. Without any background, how could he know these martial arts secrets
But Lin Fanyun obtained the demigod Zhongchun's inheritance, which has clear records in it.
Even the true god-level martial art, the Eight Desolate Longevity Song, recorded the various obstacles on the road to true godhood. These enabled Zhang Shen to have a clear understanding of the various problems he would encounter on the road of martial arts.
Originally, he was still thinking, since the Dharma Realm of the Path of Martial Arts requires reading and comprehending a large number of classics to create the most powerful technique that suits him best, in order to have the potential to break through to the True God, then what about the path of the physical body given to him by the system
Now that I have reached the fourth level of Dharmakāya, every time I invest experience points, I will gain knowledge and insights about the physical body. Apparently, the physical body, like the martial arts, also needs to go through this process in order to build the strongest foundation.
"So, I still need to create the most powerful martial arts technique for my physical body?" Zhang Shen touched his chin, feeling that it was very likely.
He has been improving his physical body through the system all along, without majoring in any particular technique. All the knowledge about the physical body he knows is acquired by first breaking through his physical body, and then slowly figuring it out and mastering it.
He has not practiced any martial arts, but his body is stronger than those of martial artists who practice physical cultivation. Moreover, his body is very balanced in all aspects, with no particular aspect being particularly prominent.
"As for the physical body skills, I can actually create several of them now, and I can even directly reach the Dharma Realm."
"It's just that this era is the era of martial arts. The gains from cultivating the physical body are not worth the losses. At most, we can only take the path of martial arts to cultivate the body."
“Although they both sound like they are related to the body, they are very different.”
"If I didn't have the system, I wouldn't be able to take this path. In the martial arts era, there aren't many resources for cultivating the physical body."
Zhang Shen thought about it carefully and realized that with his background, it would be easy for him to create some Dharma-level skills for the physical body.
But is it appropriate to use those as your most powerful skills and gradually perfect them
Zhang Shen shook his head. Those were not what he wanted.
"Moreover, the most powerful techniques are all related to the original innate magical power. It can almost be said that the most powerful techniques of one's own are derived from the innate magical power."
Zhang Shen’s innate magical power for his physical body is “body control”.
How can the martial arts derived from it be the most powerful
You have to know that this most powerful technique is for yourself. If you use it to compare with them, there will also be differences in strength.
If you do it casually, even if you have the chance to become a true God, you will be a weakling among the true Gods.
“Tsk tsk, the nine realms of martial arts are indeed linked together. The acquired body is refined to return to the innate, the innate mind is forged to condense the supernatural power into the true elixir, the true elixir supernatural power is the fetus to conceive the Dharma image, and the Dharma image casts the way to enter the semi-godhood.”
"Almost from the moment the ninth level of Xiantian chooses what magical power to condense to break through the Zhendan, the path a warrior will take in the future is fixed."
“Thinking about it this way, for those who are in the Xiantian realm and gather supernatural powers according to the previous methods, but have not completed the path of the original wish supernatural power, the demigod is their end.”
Zhang Shen felt a chill all over his body. When he realized this today, he couldn't help but feel fortunate. If the physical body did not have a system, he would not have the confidence to condense his original wish of "physical control". Without the physical body given by the system, in order to protect himself in this wilderness, he would definitely do everything he could to improve his martial arts. Would he have time to accumulate leisurely and choose the original magical power path to break through martial arts
"Every step is a trap. Without a profound inheritance and a great background, it will be difficult to recover even if you realize it in the future."
Zhang Shen observed a moment of silence for those wandering cultivators.
Fortunately, he and his disciples all followed the path of original vows and supernatural powers.
This doesn't mean that it is impossible to condense supernatural powers by following the methods of predecessors, but it means that it must be suitable for oneself.
When breaking through the True Dan, the condensed supernatural powers must be suitable for oneself. If one learns the most suitable technique for oneself when he or she first starts practicing, then the condensed supernatural powers will naturally not become an obstacle in the future.
But the independent cultivators don’t have this opportunity. It’s lucky for them to have the chance to practice. Let’s once again observe a moment of silence for the independent cultivators.
In this regard, the original vow supernatural power has a huge advantage. With the foundation of the original vow supernatural power, one has already realized his true heart and knows what he is pursuing. Based on this, one can create the most powerful practice that suits him best, which brings countless conveniences. Just a matter of direction will make one ahead of others by a large margin.
There are all kinds of mixed thoughts in my mind.
In the end, Zhang Shenbao's body was shining brightly, which was the light emitted by his original wish supernatural power "body control".
After eliminating all the distractions, Zhang Shen knew what the most powerful technique for his physical body would be.
"I want eternity, I want nothing to take my life away, and I have to decide everything for myself."
"For this reason, I have concentrated this magical power to control my physical body!"
"The name is very ordinary. It looks like he is just controlling the body. It sounds very ordinary."
“But it holds my ambition.”
“I want time not to harm my body, and I want everything not to wear out my body.”
"I want nothing to be able to take away everything in my body, including the soul and true spirit in the body."
"When nothing can hurt my body, nothing can break my body and hurt my soul, my true spirit."
"When the soul and true spirit in my body are protected by this invincible body and nothing can harm them, then I will be eternal!"
“
Therefore, the most powerful technique for my physical body must not highlight one aspect, but must have no shortcomings in all aspects of the physical body."
"Only when the body is impeccable can everything be invulnerable!"
Zhang Shen's eyes were burning with flames. His most powerful technique should be one that, after practicing, would allow him to possess all the advantages of all physical conditions without any shortcomings.
This is difficult, but after looking at his strongest physical system, Zhang Shen is confident.
He is a man with a system. Is it too much to have such ambition
Not too much at all!
"Huh, in this case, I have to be more careful in martial arts." Zhang Shen focused his attention on his own martial arts.
His current martial arts cultivation is at the fifth level of True Dan.
This state is exactly the process of the true elixir giving birth to the Dharma.
Within the True Pill, with the magical power of "the meaning of destruction" condensed when breaking through the True Pill as the embryo, a Dharma image containing all the hopes of "the meaning of destruction" is nurtured.
This process is destined to require Zhang Shen to invest a lot of energy.
His "Intention of Destruction" is similar to his disciple Li Zhao's "Mo Shi Quan", both of which aim to absorb the essence of other martial arts and then destroy them!
Draw strength from the sense of destruction within.
At such a critical moment in martial arts, it is difficult for Zhang Shen to spare the energy to create the most powerful martial arts technique for the physical body.
"Luckily I have a flesh and blood clone. It's so damn foresighted!"
"If I hadn't developed the blood and flesh clone, a derivative of my innate magical power, I would have to choose between the physical body and the martial arts with great pain!"
Zhang Shen has to handle martial arts by himself now, so the task of creating a powerful physical body technique can only be left to his clone Lin Fanyun.
With two brains, you have enough energy to pursue both paths without having to give up one of them temporarily.
Zhang Shen was secretly delighted.
Lin Fanyun, the clone who synchronized and shared the memory, rolled his eyes.
What's wrong with the clone? Does the clone have no human rights? You handed such a big thing to me without asking me. Do you still have any sense of public morality? Don't you know that the life of slacking off is beautiful and should not be destroyed
What? You are the original body and you are the elder, I am the clone and I am the younger, so I have to listen to you
Okay, I'll listen!
Zhang Shen smiled, his clone was indeed very sensible.
Well, they are both the same person, it’s just that Zhang Shenjing played two different roles.
After finishing this matter, Zhang Shen turned his attention back to his martial arts elixir.
When the physical body was in the true elixir stage, the entire physical body was used as the elixir to nurture the true body of the Dharma.
Now that the martial arts elixir is giving birth to the Dharma image, it gives Zhang Shen a different feeling.
But it's basically the same.
One thing to say here is.
Among the magical powers condensed when breaking through the true elixir, only the most original one or two innate magical powers will condense into divine light, and then fall into the true elixir and become the embryo that nurtures the Dharmakāya.
This is because these magical powers embody the warrior's own vision, martial arts will, and other things.
This does not prevent the warrior from using his innate magical powers.
However, other derived magical powers will no longer condense divine light in the body.
When Zhang Shen's physical body achieved the true body of Dharma, the divine light condensed by his innate magical power of "body control" had already merged into his body.
This does not mean that the innate magical powers disappear, but rather they become more powerful.
This is why the innate magical power can grow together with the warrior.
Unlike derived magical powers, if you don't actively improve it, it will stagnate.
At this time, what was forming the embryo in Zhang Shen’s martial arts elixir was his innate magical power “the meaning of destruction”.
"Control of the body" represents Zhang Shen's eternal wish.
The meaning of "destroy" is his wish to destroy all enemies and protect eternity.
