Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 6: Eight Levels of the Physical Body

On the twelfth day, the deck of the wooden ship began to be filled with the figures of young boys and girls practicing boxing and swordsmanship.

Although Wei Daocheng said that the interior and exterior were the same, and that the spatial formation on the ship couldn't block the chaos and primordial qi, the young boys unanimously believed that practicing outside would yield better results.

However, Yang Ning had not started yet. Instead, he spent the whole night using Deep Blue to calculate the logic of cultivating the Physical Body Realm, finally confirming it.

First Level: Breathing Realm - Improve physical fitness and prepare for cultivation through basic breathing techniques.

Second Level: Technique Realm - Guide and activate qi and blood through the use of the Divine Shape Technique. At this stage, one is still in the realm of an ordinary warrior and relies more on ordinary weapons.

Third Level: Body Tempering Realm - Refine techniques to the extreme, sense and guide qi and blood, and use medicinal substances to temper muscles and bones. At this stage, a Martial Artist's body becomes as tough as copper and iron, and they are no longer afraid of blades and swords when their muscles are tensed.

Fourth Level: Internal Organs Realm - Guide qi and blood to refine the five organs. From this point on, appetite and digestive capacity increase significantly. A Martial Artist at the peak of the Internal Organs Realm can eat a whole cow in one meal. At the same time, their strength begins to increase rapidly. A peak Internal Organs Realm Martial Artist can pull back a rampaging elephant with one arm. Practitioners at the fourth level are also known as Dragon Elephant Martial Artists.

Fifth Level: Myriad Transformations Realm - Refine qi and blood to every limb and bone, making one dexterous and light-footed. Even without training in hidden weapons, they can hit the target every time. A Myriad Transformations Martial Artist can manipulate subtle muscles to modify their appearance. With their arms accustomed to qi, their strength knows no bounds. After their legs are accustomed to qi, their speed can be as fast as the wind, allowing them to travel thousands of miles in a day. Practitioners at the fifth level are also known as the Martial King of a Thousand Miles.

Sixth Level: Unified Harmony Realm - Qi and blood become harmonious and can instantly condense into a single point. A single finger can penetrate steel, earning the title of Martial Dao Saint Realm, or simply Martial Saint. Because Martial Artists at this stage often use spears or swords as their weapons to fully unleash the power of the Unified Harmony Realm, there are many gun gods and sword saints.

Seventh Level: Jade Bone Realm - Qi and blood vibrate like thunder, greatly improving their quality. They begin to refine the marrow, making their blood like mercury and their bones like jade, further increasing their strength.

Eighth Level: Five Senses Realm - Qi and blood flow into the brain, enhancing the five senses. From this point on, one can see a thousand miles, hear in all directions, and taste all flavors. They are no longer afraid of being poisoned and can hear the sound of the wind and the flow of qi and blood within their enemies. They can anticipate their opponents' moves. Since the seventh and eighth levels of cultivation are often practiced together, Martial Artists at these two realms are collectively referred to as disciples of the Martial Dao Sect.

The disciples of the Extreme Eternal Sect were told that they were given the Divine Shape Technique and they just needed to practice it. They didn't need to delve into the underlying principles. If they could comprehend it on their own, then they should. If not, they should practice more.

Yang Ning, who came from modern times, was accustomed to dialectical materialism and was used to understanding the reasons behind things. After grasping this cultivation logic, he immediately felt that the path of cultivation became much clearer.

Cultivation may seem complex, but it is actually quite simple when it comes to theoretical proof. It is about activating, sensing, and strengthening qi and blood, and then using qi and blood to strengthen the organs and bones. Finally, the brain is strengthened.

The Divine Shape Technique is just a method for humans to indirectly control qi and blood, since they cannot directly control it.

So, what is the core of cultivation?

Yang Ning immediately understood without needing to think: it is qi and blood!

Everything needs to be strengthened through the circulation of qi and blood. And what determines the effect of strengthening?

Naturally, it depends on the strength of qi and blood. The stronger the qi and blood, the better the strengthening effect. The higher the control over qi and blood, the higher the precision of the strengthening. The more parts of the body that are strengthened through qi and blood, the better the overall effect.

What factors influence the strength of qi and blood?

1. The body - the stronger the body, the stronger the qi and blood.

2. Breathing technique - the stronger the breathing technique, the better the effect of drawing in qi.

What factors influence the control over qi and blood?

1. Mental willpower - the stronger the willpower, the stronger the control over qi and blood.

2. Divine Shape Technique - the more refined the Divine Shape Technique, the stronger the control over qi and blood.

What factors influence the parts of the body that can be strengthened through qi and blood?

One: The Divine Form Method involves strengthening the areas it touches with Qi and blood.

Two: The stronger the Qi and blood, even the parts that cannot be directly strengthened through the Divine Form Method will be indirectly strengthened.

"In summary, the breathing technique cannot be discarded after just starting. It must be persisted with, and is deep sleep the limit of the breathing technique?" Yang Ning knew that in the books he had read in his previous life, there were various stages of meditation, such as initial stability, deep stability, constant stability, embryonic breath, and sitting in oblivion. According to these stages, deep sleep is only the initial stability.

Although the breathing technique involves breathing and seems to be related to meditation, it only requires a quiet environment to fully focus on breathing. In reality, Yang Ning, who has personally created the breathing technique, knows that it does not involve the mind and does not require reaching a state of half-asleep and half-awake or a state of no thoughts.

Therefore, there are still higher stages beyond deep sleep. Yang Ning does not expect to reach the level of manifesting divinity, but constant stability, embryonic breath, and sitting in oblivion are theories that exist on Earth. It doesn't make sense that they would not work in a cultivation world.

"The cultivation methods of this world were obtained through archaeology, but the Dragon Race is naturally powerful and does not need to spend too much time in the weak stage of childhood. Therefore, it is possible that the introductory stage of cultivation methods is missing. Humans, on the other hand, are accustomed to imitating their ancestors and dare not rashly change the inheritance left by their ancestors. Naturally, they have not thought about innovation. This is my opportunity."

Yang Ning has also stayed in the feudal dynasties of this world and is well aware of how conservative the interest groups here are. Not to mention the invention of the wheel, even after hundreds of thousands of years, iron hoes have not been popularized in the fields.

Therefore, it is possible that the breathing technique is not the limit of cultivation.

As long as the breathing technique continues to improve, it can not only strengthen Qi and blood, but also strengthen the mind, achieving two goals at once.

"As for the Divine Form Method, strength is not important. What is important is precision and comprehensiveness. The stronger the control over Qi and blood, the better. The more comprehensive the training, the better. So, I should make changes in this direction! It seems that the Divine Form Method is still limited by the limits of the human body, but I don't need to consider that!"

Limited by thinking, it is already difficult to cultivate the Divine Form Method, but it is still within the limits of human beings, referring to the limits of thinking.

For example, there are some muscles that cannot be exercised no matter what posture you use.

Some Divine Form Methods consider finding someone to assist in cultivation, such as having someone hold a stick and beat oneself, but in Yang Ning's opinion, that is not enough!

He knows two comprehensive methods to strengthen all organs of the body.

The first is electrical stimulation, and the second is gravity!

Therefore, the Divine Form Method he created can be bolder, not only strengthening muscles, but also strengthening the internal organs, and even starting to strengthen the brain before reaching the eighth level of the physical body.

Ordinary people definitely wouldn't dare to do this, as it is too dangerous. But Yang Ning has the Spirit Realm and can determine the safety threshold inside before trying it outside!

"Considering this, my cultivation prospects are still very bright!"

Although the Spirit Realm cannot replicate spiritual energy yet, taking one step at a time, at least in the Physical Body Realm, even if he has no background and can only use the most popular cultivation techniques, the Spirit Realm can help him establish a foundation far beyond others.

Extreme Eternal Sect is one of the top two immortal sects. He can surpass ordinary people in Extreme Eternal Sect, which allows him to surpass ordinary people in the entire Extreme Eternal World.

In a world where the rate of becoming an immortal is so low, being a genius is not enough. One must be an anomaly to have a slight possibility of becoming an immortal!

Finally, Yang Ning opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"You finished reading so quickly?" Looking at the now awake Yang Ning, Ning Rong was surprised and suddenly realized that this companion by her side might not be as simple as just a prodigy.

Perhaps, he is also a big shot in cultivation!

Yang Ning smiled and nodded, "Not bad. Well, let's order some food first."

He had been grinding parts with a file all afternoon and was already hungry!
