Chapter 6: Great Power and Energy Second Layer: Practicing Blood

  The spiritual energy and internal strength wreak havoc inside Wang Chen's body, the two confronting each other slowly entwining together, as if tearing at each other.

  The two gradually had a trend of fusion, the spiritual energy and internal force permeated each other under the action of their own qi and blood, this process was quite slow.

  Time had passed for an hour and a half, just when Wang Chen's physical body was about to reach its limit, the first strand of spiritual energy finally merged with his internal energy. Although the merged energy was only a thread, it was the last straw that tipped the scales.

  After the start, it's much simpler. The inner power and spiritual energy begin to become tame, and after a thread of fusion, they merge quickly with the help of the spiritual energy sphere.

  A moment later, the internal energy disappeared and the spiritual energy also disappeared. Only the mutated spiritual energy condensed into a ball of essence that flowed with the blood. As the spiritual energy flowed through the blood, the internal meridians and wounds actually recovered slowly under visible circumstances.

  If someone were to see the situation now, they would definitely cry out in alarm. For a martial artist, a shattered meridian is very difficult to recover from. If there were precious medicinal materials and the help of other high-ranking martial artists, then there might still be some hope.

  This shows the difference between cultivating immortality and worldly affairs. In cultivating immortality, people gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its effects are unimaginable to ordinary people.

  The damaged meridians slowly connected together, and the torn blood vessels were also sewn up by an invisible hand. However, after repairing the meridians, the spiritual energy ball shrunk a big circle.

  At noon, Wang Chen woke up in a daze and his eyes were dazzled by the sunlight. He shook his head and slowly got up.

  "What's going on? Wasn't I just practicing my skills, and then..." Wang Chen recalled the scene where he fainted and quickly checked his body.

  Although there's a lot of blood on his body, he doesn't feel any pain, it's not a big deal. He curled up his legs and checked the internal meridians, but there wasn't even a slight injury to the meridians, they had actually become wider.

  However, when Wang Chen mobilized his internal energy, he felt a dizziness, and his internal skill was gone. The internal skill that had been painstakingly cultivated for more than five years was suddenly gone!

  From a vagrant life to the life of Dragon and Tiger Gang, Wang Chen finally got the inner strength method. Although he mistakenly obtained the dark future of Great Strength Technique, Wang Chen never lost confidence and always believed that he would become an extraordinary master.

  Even after obtaining the Nasal Qi Decision, Wang Chen inadvertently produced a kind of ambition, or to say, wild heart, becoming an immortal, that is, the cultivator recorded in that book.

  Powerful Master, infinite lifespan!

  All of this is impossible now, even the most basic internal power is gone! Wang Chen was suddenly at a loss, wandering and perplexed.

  The sky seems to have fallen!

  Wang Chen, who was distracted, didn't notice the anomaly in his meridians. The wild spiritual energy burst forth and the surrounding spiritual energy surged back into Wang Chen's body once again.

  But Wang Chen couldn't feel it.

  The scene in front of me suddenly became chaotic, and for a moment it was the scene of drinking with Zhang Tie. "Brother Chen, when you have nothing to do, don't always stay in the mine, come out and take a walk around, Cangzhou City is really a great place..."

  In an instant, it was his own wandering time. "Little boy, hand over the silver you had just now, that's what I, the big brother, dropped..." Several people rushed up and started punching and kicking. Wang Chen struggled to use his martial arts to drive them away, but he couldn't feel even a bit of internal energy...

  Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chen returned to Mr.'s school again.

  "Heaven is vigorous, the gentleman constantly strengthens himself without respite; Earth is receptive, the gentleman cultivates virtue to carry all things." The children's clear reading voices made the village seem like a peach garden outside.

  "Excuse me, sir, what do these two sentences mean?"

  "A person should operate tirelessly like the universe, even in adversity, remain unyielding; a person should be as vast and immense as the earth, capable of carrying anything."

  It was as if a thunderbolt on a clear day, striking Wang Chen's soul again and again, like the mighty bell of the Yellow Bell, like a wake-up call to the world. Wang Chen slowly recovered from his unease...

  Wang Chen did not know that he had narrowly escaped a calamity. Cultivators feared heavenly tribulations the most, but in fact, heavenly tribulations were terrifying yet not necessarily as frightening as they seemed. The main reason was the tribulation of the heart demon. The tribulation of the heart demon was formless and shapeless, making it the most terrifying and abnormal. No matter how high one's cultivation was, once trapped in the heart demon, one could only be manipulated at will, with life and death hanging by a thread.

  There are gains and losses, the tribulation of the heart demon is terrible, but as long as it is passed, it has a great promoting effect on the growth of magical powers and divine consciousness. What Wang Chen went through was not the tribulation of the heart demon, but just a simple heart demon, but even such a heart demon is extremely dangerous for cultivators, and nine out of ten will be seriously injured!

  The spiritual energy ball slowly solidified and grew larger. After Wang Chen overcame a simple psychological demon, the spiritual energy ball surprisingly absorbed most of Wang Chen's vital energy, then merged with the absorbed spiritual energy, growing from a small stream to a small river!

  Another year passed since Wang Chen advanced to the second layer of Dahelike, forming a strange spiritual power. He was cultivating bitterly while pondering over the effects of his spiritual power.

  First, the spiritual energy sphere that combined its own vital energy, internal power and spiritual energy greatly enhanced Wang Chen's physical quality. In just one year, Wang Chen's strength reached over a thousand kilograms, and with his strength alone, he was equivalent to a top-notch master.

  Unfortunately, there was no way to run the spiritual energy, so the spiritual energy group had to keep circulating along the meridians and blood vessels throughout the body. As a result, Wang Chen's body was comprehensively strengthened with the help of spiritual energy.

  This strengthening greatly enhanced Wang Chen's strength, like the people in the martial arts world who cultivate Eagle Claw Skill or Iron Sand Palm, most of them strengthen a certain part of their body to be comparable to fine iron, but other parts of their body are not much different from ordinary people.

  Even with external skills like Golden Bell Shield, there are some fatal weaknesses called shield doors.

  The effect of the spiritual energy group is much stronger, with the help of blood, the spiritual energy group flows through every blood vessel and skin, every organ and muscle, it can be said that Wang Chen's upgrade is all-round.

  It's not just the muscles, but also the heart, liver and stomach that have been greatly enhanced. Otherwise, how could Wang Chen digest meat so quickly and obtain qi and blood to merge with spiritual energy to form a spiritual energy sphere?

  However, after a period of time, the spiritual energy will become smaller, and the blood color will also become more diluted, and the strengthening effect will be greatly weakened.

  So Wang Chen had no choice but to absorb the weak spiritual energy on one hand, and eat and drink a lot to replenish his blood energy on the other. It was also at this time that Wang Chen realized that ordinary spiritual energy cultivation might not have the same strengthening effect as his own spiritual energy, and his own blood energy was equally important. This is just like how the spiritual energy of a cultivator greatly enhances the strengthening effect of their inner power.

  Can't help but admit that although Wang Chen is a Five Spirit Root rookie, he is indeed a genius. In the secular world, there are many masters who use blood cultivation to practice martial arts, but they only use ordinary blood at most. Wang Chen's Great Strength Technique has already touched the surface of the Demonic Blood Technique, which is precisely the essence of refined blood.

  In the Xianxia world, there is a type of cultivator who uses blood as a medium for cultivation. Due to their unorthodox methods and immense power, they are prone to going berserk and are therefore classified under the demonic path, known as the Blood Demonic Path. Cultivators of the Blood Demonic Path often utilize their own or others' vital energy, even their life-bound primordial vitality, for cultivation or spellcasting, resulting in extraordinary and eerie abilities that are quite astonishing within the same rank.

  The second layer of Dahli's power is actually the condensation and refinement of Qi and blood, achieving refined essence and blood. Originally, the refined essence and blood of Dahli's power could not reach the level of the Blood Demon Dao, but with the help of Lingqi, it reached a level slightly surpassing that of ordinary cultivators' refined essence and blood.

  Several months later, a young man rode his horse out of the mine and galloped towards Cangzhou City. The young man was Wang Chen, whose cultivation had temporarily come to an end after a year of practice. With the help of the spiritual energy, Wang Chen's swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck, and his arduous training no longer made much progress in his skills.

  Wang Chen's next plan was to go out and take a look around, hoping to encounter some immortal fate. If not, finding one or two treasures that were considered genius by the martial arts world would also allow the Ling Qi team to progress further.

  Besides, it's been a long time since he left the mine, and the giant sword on his back feels too light. It's time for Zhang Tie to help him forge a new one. Thinking of Zhang Tie, Wang Chen couldn't help but smile slightly. Zhang Tie has done quite well as an ironworker in the past few years, and every time he returns to Cangzhou City, they will drink together.

  More than an hour later, Wang Chen arrived at the Longhu Ironwork Shop in Cangzhou City. Just by hearing the name, one could tell it was opened by the Longhu Gang. He had come to look for Zhang Tie several times already, and the little servant at the entrance also had an impression of him, so he easily entered the backyard.

  Behind was the blacksmith's own resting place, very large, with over a dozen small courtyards. Zhang Tie, due to his good ironwork, also occupied two rooms in one of the small courtyards. Along the familiar path, Wang Chen strolled towards Zhang Tie's house.

  Just as Wang Chen was about to enter the courtyard, he heard a loud roar from inside: "Li Qingzhu, don't go too far!" followed by the sound of young people shouting and weapons clashing. The angry roar instantly ignited Wang Chen's anger, and with a burst of energy, he strode into the small courtyard in two swift steps.

  On the ground was Zhang Tie, whose clothes were tattered and worn out. Surrounding him were three or four young men, who were also dressed in the attire of the Dragon and Tiger Sect disciples. And what Zhang Tie had protected as he fell to the ground was a young girl.

  Wang Chen's heart was anxious and he shouted loudly: "Who dares to hurt my brother?" and rushed over.

  They seemed to be intimidated by Wang Chen's aura, and the three or four young men's movements paused for a moment. Wang Chen flashed in front of Zhang Tie, holding a giant sword to protect him. The three or four young men took one look and saw that they were outmatched, and were immediately cowed by Wang Chen's giant sword and aura. They retreated several steps and said to the youth in green clothes behind them: "Boss, this person's martial arts skills are not bad, you see..."

  Three or four young men, with the eldest among them looking gloomy, gazed at Wang Chen's massive sword with some hesitation. Moreover, Wang Chen's movements earlier were extremely swift. After a moment of contemplation, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he approached Wang Chen. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Tie was pulled up by the woman behind him and stood behind Wang Chen.

  A young man walked in front of Wang Chen, cupped his hands and said: "I don't know how to address you, brother? This Zhang Tie..." Wang Chen's expression was indifferent, he remained silent. In Wang Chen's eyes, this kind of fancy but useless person had no weight at all. If it weren't for the fact that he had some background, he would have been driven away long ago.

  Behind him, Zhang Tie said in a low voice to Wang Chen: "This man is called Li Qingzhu, he is the youngest son of Li Changlao. Some days ago, he was being indecent with Xiaomei on the street and I happened to see it and chased him away. Today, he came again to cause trouble."

  Wang Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed. In this chaotic world, there are many people who deceive men and bully women. Although he can't stand it, he won't interfere with everyone he sees. Zhang Tie is the one who has brought trouble upon himself. However, since Zhang Tie was being so intimate with the girl by his side, Wang Chen naturally wouldn't ignore it.

  "My surname is Wang, and Zhang Tie is my brother!" Wang Chen replied. Seeing that Wang Chen had spoken up, Li Qingzhu's expression became somewhat more relaxed, then he said: "Brother Wang, my father is the elder of our clan, Li Changlao. The woman behind you collided with our young master a few days ago. I can let it slide because of your face, but please hand over that woman for me to deal with." As he spoke, he especially emphasized the three words "Li Changlao".

  Upon hearing this, the girl behind him immediately trembled and tightly grasped Zhang Tie's arm. Zhang Tie also showed a look of urgency and said, "Chen Ge, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, Xiao Mei will be tortured to death by them." As Zhang Tie made his request, everyone looked at Wang Chen. Wang Chen paused for a few seconds, looking at Li Qingtu, and said, "You can go."

  Li Qingzhu's face immediately turned bright red, clearly extremely angry. "Actually so arrogant, dare to ignore me, I've been polite enough, this young man doesn't even appreciate it." Li Qingzhu saw that Wang Chen didn't know his place and angrily said "Good! Good!" Then he waved his hand, signaling the several subordinates to take action.

  Some people always shift their own mistakes onto others and then feel at ease with their wicked behavior.
