Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 427 - 10 Different Destinies
Chapter 427 -10 Different Destinies
Refining Qi into God, Wang Sheng had reached the end of the fourth stage.
In fact, at this realm, even a three percent progress requires a long time; a year’s time is simply not enough. This was what Wang Sheng calculated based on the natural growth rate of the progress bar.
The fourth stage of Refining Qi into God, Cloud Smoke, is about spreading the Great Medicine Qi throughout the body, strengthening it, practicing the Grand Circulation, where the mist interweaves with the crucible, continuously transforming oneself.
All of this was in preparation for the fifth stage of Refining Qi into God, “Reflection.”
During the Reflection stage, as its name implies, one utilizes the Great Medicine Qi to run the Grand Circulation, continuously activating one’s potential, truly mobilizing the spiritual power of the entire body, and then reflecting one’s Spiritual Body.
Do not underestimate this realm.
Refining Qi into God consists of six stages; the first two can collectively be called “Great Medicine Movement,” and the third and fourth stages can be named “Refining Great Medicine.” Every entry into a new major stage represents a qualitative change.
In fact, it was indeed the case. The fourth stage “Cloud Smoke” suddenly increased Wang Sheng’s lifespan to 2,500 years, and even then, there was potential for further improvement.
To reflect the Spiritual Body is the threshold of the third major stage of Refining Qi into God.
It may seem to be just a reflection, but it is the point where the power of the spirit reaches a limit, allowing the Spiritual Body to become substantial in the real world.
Having reached this realm, one gradually relies on the forces of heaven and earth to evolve oneself.
From this point on, the human body will truly undergo a transformation; the increase in lifespan will no longer be trifling within a mere thousand years. Achieving the sixth stage, barring unforeseen events, a lifespan of ten thousand years is within easy reach. It is a true metamorphosis, evolution, and the first step on the path of immortality.
For Wang Sheng, who had already attained the “Divine Guarding Five Qi,” it could be said that he had taken a significant step towards his goal.
As for the improvement in battle strength, that was indescribable.
All Divine Skills related to Divine Thought would gain a terrifying enhancement, not to be spoken of in the same breath as before.
Even these changes were not the most important of all.
The most important aspect is that after reflecting the Spiritual Body, one will truly begin to touch the heavens and earth, entering a new height in understanding of heaven and earth, and even gradually comprehend its rules.
The Reflection Realm, no matter how much one values it, it’s never too much.

“Right now, the Cloud Smoke Realm is not yet complete, mainly because the Great Medicine Qi has not yet fully transformed the body. Pure spiritual power can definitely achieve this, and within a year, Reflection is foreseeable.”
Wang Sheng looked towards the Spirit World.
Although it had only been reopened not long ago, with the expansion of the login range, even the accumulation of a single day’s time was considerable.
Without hesitation, Wang Sheng directly purified these scattered spiritual powers, then absorbed the pure spiritual power, and the stray thoughts were released into the heavens and earth, returning to the heavens and earth.
After the absorption was completed, the progress of the fourth stage of Refining Qi into God indeed advanced.
At the same time, he took out the Nine-flavor Calming Heart Pill and Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill and began to operate the Cultivation Technique to absorb them.
After all, the enhancement of the Great Medicine’s power is also the advancement of progress.
As he improved, the entire world’s Spirit World also began to undergo changes, as the Heavenly Father, who was like a human, was constantly swallowed by the Black Fog Giant Snake, the Spirit World also began to turn black, altering heaven and earth.
Wang Sheng once wanted to seek revenge against the Heavenly Father, only to find that what he intended has been accomplished by his enemies.
While doing all this, the aura of Zhong continuously rose.
“It’s soon, the next qualitative change is about to arrive, and by then, it will be time to completely surpass the once highest realm…”
Wang Sheng and Zhong, both were racing against time.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yun, the lord of the once first dynasty, came to a place known as the North Pole.
Here lies a land of perennial cold, where half the year is night, and the other half is daylight, and nothing lives.
It is said that a long time ago people could survive here, but at some point, a drastic change occurred, and even martial artists of the Grandmaster Level could not withstand the harsh environment.
This drastic change, hardly anyone knows the reason.
But this did not include Jiang Yun.
He was well aware that this was created by his ancestor Qi to prevent the final trump card from being leaked.
The surrounding environment was merely the radiation from the core area, where not even a Grandmaster, let alone a National Guardian Level powerhouse, could withstand the pressure, only the direct bloodline of the Jiang Family could enter.
Jiang Yun never thought he would come here in his lifetime, but in the end, nothing is permanent.
As the dynasty approached its third change, it faced a terrifying apocalypse, and even the first great dynasty that had stood for thousands of years was destroyed.
With these thoughts, his mood grew heavy as he looked toward the core area that was now in sight.
“Hopefully, the trump card left by the ancestor can help me take back everything.”
After losing the first dynasty, his strength had rapidly declined, and now he was even struggling to maintain his National Guardian Level status.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yun flew into the core area.
The core area was filled with terrifying cold that penetrated the bones, but it did not truly threaten him, who bore the Jiang Family bloodline.
After passing through the visible cold, he saw a stele and an altar.
The stele bore inscriptions, presumably some instructions.
The altar, though called so, appeared from above to be a circular gate, locked with two thick chains, its center adorned with a hexagram that was flickering faintly.
“Is this the trump card?”
Jiang Yun arrived in front of the stele.
[Descendants, this is the altar that should only be activated in the most dire of circumstances. Upon activation, one will gain an incredibly powerful force, possibly surpassing my own limits, but it will also attract terrifying enemies and could lead to a fruitless endeavor or even destruction. Consider thrice before activating.
The method of activation is to use the blood of the direct lineage…]
He quickly finished reading the content.
“To surpass the ancestor’s strength!”
Who was the ancestor? He was Qi, the founder of the first dynasty, whose strength was immense.
To surpass the ancestor would definitely mean far exceeding the supposed number one individual of the Demon Clan.
His eyes filled with fervor, fixated only on those few words and the method of activation, while all other contents were ignored.
Having lost everything, he cared for nothing; what did destruction matter if he himself was no more?
Without hesitation, he sat right at the center of the hexagram on the altar and dropped a droplet of blood.
As the blood dropped, the chains on the altar loosened, and the circular gate cracked open slightly.
“…”
Jiang Yun chanted under his breath, and before long, a red glow emerged from the gap and merged into his body; after the fusion, miraculous things happened. His strength no longer declined; it stabilized and then started to rise, quickly returning to his original level. The subsequent increase slowed down, but it continued steadily.
This made Jiang Yun’s heart tremble with excitement, completely oblivious to what had merged into his body…
Three locations, all three strengths were increasing.
Time flew by, and nearly a year passed to arrive at the year 573 in the original Great Zhou calendar.
Wang Sheng opened his eyes from his retreat.
“It’s about the same as I estimated.”
“Refining Qi into God, Cloud Smoke: 99.5%”
As usual, he adjusted his state, then began the real breakthrough.
“Refining Qi into God, the third major barrier, I will finally step through, still not sure about Zhong’s situation though…”
