Martial Research Master

Chapter 200



“The reason behind it is the fact that the connection to any kind of law requires you to prepare the exact kind of energy. The higher the level of the law, the more energy is required to connect to it. It is one of the reasons that even special body types find it quite difficult to connect to a heavenly law during their break-through. They stopped in this step for a long time.”

“During the period of my cultivation, I did research subjects like this which not only provided me insights into the way of heavens but how the martial way exactly works. Although I have never managed to confirm my guess, I did find that body cultivation does help in this juncture. The opening of meridians and acupoints raises the probability of one being able to connect to higher tier laws. I am confident about you being able to connect to top tier earth laws and even heavenly laws as of now, but you should have your sights onto the top of the chain.”

“You must have already gone through 3 metamorphosis due to the opening of the 3 sets of meridians. That is already way higher than me. Once you manage to open all the acupoints, another metamorphosis will take place. I hope you go through the metamorphosis before breaking through the king realm.”

Lu Ming was confused upon hearing this. Although he did put a lot of effort into body cultivation, he never once thought of opening all the acupoints before entering the Qi King realm. He considered body cultivation as a parallel pathway. The fact that body cultivation ultimately aids in the Qi cultivation was a huge surprise to him.

“Didn’t ancestor say that the number of acupoints opened by me should be enough to connect to the heavenly laws?”

“When I broke-through the QI King level, I prepared for quite a long time. It was due to such arduous preparation that I was able to connect to multiple Heavenly laws. Imagine my elation when I found the result.”

“How many laws did the ancestor manage to connect to?”

.....

“I managed to connect to five kinds of heavenly law. Fire, wood, earth, sword, and Yin-Yang.” Lu Ming was shocked to hear such an achievement. According to the Keeper, even some of the crimson lords found it difficult to connect to 3 heavenly laws with one body. The ancestor managed to connect himself with 5. Just what kind of monster was this guy?

“The ancestor was a martial with monstrous talent. I am sure you must have been elated due to it.”

“I thought the same way before I connected to these laws.”

“What does ancestor mean?”

“I mean when I finally connected to these five heavenly laws, I managed to sense and gain comprehension about something else. I sense that the existence of something higher, more powerful.”

Lu Ming was shocked upon hearing this. Something higher than Heavenly laws. What could rank higher than Heavens?

“Is the ancestor insisting that there exist a set of laws which are higher than Heavenly laws?”

“I am confirming that there are a set of laws standing higher than the heavenly laws. I even tried to connect to them, but do you know what held me back?” Lu Ming suddenly thought about the subject they were talking about some moments ago.

“Your body cultivation.”

“Exactly. My body cultivation was not adequate to connect to these laws. I felt an invisible shackle around my whole being which restricted me from connecting to those laws. This is the reason I ask you to be patient in cultivation. You should hurry through your martial path.”

“Try to suppress your cultivation and open all the acupoints before entering the QI King level.”

Lu Ming bowed and nodded in agreement. It was a huge reveal which would end up shaping his martial path in a new way.

...........................

“Could the ancestor brief me upon the other 2 levels of body cultivation?”

The founder looked at Lu Ming with surprise. The brat was quite gutsy to be asking a question like that. He didn’t even reach the end of the second part, but wants knowledge about the fourth and fifth. Yet the founder felt like Lu Ming’s request was adequate. He is the only person he had met who managed to open all the meridians and might be able to open all the acupoints.

“The fourth part of body cultivation is called Bone-forging.”

“Only when all your meridians, acupoints, and Qi channels are opened and properly tempered can you move into the next stage, which was called the bone-forging realm. As the name suggested, this stage refers to re-forging your bones to perfection. There are 108 bones within the human body and hence you need to go through the forge 108 times. The real scare of this part is the fact that every time you begin the forge of a new bone, you would also be improving upon your previously forged bones.”

The description sounded similar to when he was opening meridians and even acupoints. With every step, the process gets more and more difficult.

“As you go through the path of body cultivation, not only does the difficulty increase, so does the amount of resources required and the pain caused by the process. 108 forges of bone are said to feel like 108 deaths. But the benefits they bring are incredibly immense. If you were to scale the benefits:

An acupoint amount to increase in power doubles the amount caused by the opening of meridians. Channel tempering gives you double the amount of what you get by opening the acupoints. But the last two parts are said to be perverted. The improvement of strength brought by a single bone forge is around four times what you get from channel tempering.”

“What is the last part, ancestor?”

“Are you sure about this question?”

“I am. If I am going to walk on this path, I better be ready to face the obstacles. I am willing to walk the path of the body to the end. I request the ancestor to not hide the knowledge from me.”

The founder sighed for some time but finally decided on revealing the truth.

“The last part of the body cultivation is called ‘Blood Tempering\'”

Lu Ming was dazed for a moment.’ Blood Tempering’. Isn’t that the name of the method he has been practicing since the beginning of his path of cultivation?
