Endless Road: Asura's Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 22 Body

Under the dim light, Gu Ling sat quietly in the cave for a long time. Everything that just happened seemed like an illusion, making him feel unreal. However, when Gu Ling returned his consciousness to his Dantian, he was surprised to find that the mysterious sphere was still spinning around his Dantian.

When observing the sphere carefully, Gu Ling gradually fell into a trance. After a few minutes he regained consciousness, confused

"What just happened? Why was my attention suddenly distracted?"Gu Ling could not explain his sudden loss of consciousness. He felt as if he had fallen into a meditative trance, but he did not actively practice.

Focusing his consciousness on the sphere again, Gu Ling fell into a meditative trance again. For a few minutes Finally, he regained his composure and gasped in surprise

"Could this sphere also serve as a perfect meditation tool? What exactly is going on?"Gu Ling's heart was full of doubts. He knew that entering a perfect meditative state was very rare and usually required a lifelong effort by practitioners.

"What other magical functions does this sphere have? Gu Ling thought and continued to observe the sphere, but found no other uses.

"Forget it, just the fact that it can help me enter a perfect state of enlightenment is beyond my imagination. This will speed up my cultivation and understanding many times over."Gu Ling's face was filled with excitement. For him, such a thing was exactly what he needed to help him quickly catch up with his peers.

After observing the sphere for a while, Gu Ling began to think about what was going on in the palace. The two books he found. He looked at his hands, holding a

"These two books must be amazing. Gu Ling thought to himself,"Apart from that drop of blood, I didn't find anything else of value in the palace.""

Gu Ling stared at the two books for a moment, and then decided to open the book with the dark cover first.

"‘The immortal remains of Asura'? It does sound shocking. Gu Ling said to himself.

Gu Ling gently slid his fingers across the cover of the book, tracing the strange letters. Although he could not yet understand the meaning of these words, he could now understand the unfamiliar language on the cover of the book..

When Gu Ling turned to the first page of the book, a confused expression appeared on his face.

"What? No synopsis or synopsis?"

The first page of the book does not provide any introduction or summary of the content. Instead, it is engraved with many complex patterns

"Does this have something to do with that translucent sphere? Gu Ling thought. He noticed that a pattern at the top of the page depicted a translucent sphere with ten rotating blood drops inside.

After carefully observing the first pattern, Gu Ling lowered his head and looked at the second one. Two images. It shows a person standing beneath a sphere with a drop of blood hovering in front of them

"This is exactly what I've been through before. Gu Ling thought as his eyes continued to wander over the pattern.

The painting on the next page made Gu Ling's eyes light up. A unique character appeared on the picture, and all his veins, arteries, meridians and acupuncture points were clearly visible. Gu Ling watched intently and gradually fell into a trance. Although the picture was still, he seemed to be able to witness the vivid scene of blood flowing in the body. He looked closely at the painting and was surprised to find that there were two different streams of blood flowing in it. One One stream is bright red normal blood, while the other stream is a darker red.

The bright red blood seems to flow unimpeded in the body, while the dark red blood flows to the Dantian. Surprisingly, What flowed out of the Dantian was not blood, but another unknown substance. Gu Ling could not accurately identify it, and could only observe that it flowed along certain meridians to other parts of the body.

Gu Ling was still in a trance, but the next moment, He was shocked to find that there was nothing else in the painting

"Only this?"Gu Ling had doubts in his mind. He tried to turn to the next page, but was surprised to find that he couldn't move it.

"How is this going? Why can't it be opened?"Gu Ling tried harder to turn the page, but no matter how hard he tried, the page remained motionless.

"Maybe I have to get stronger to open it." Gu Ling thought. Since his attempt was fruitless, he focused his attention on the content of the current page again.

After a period of research, an idea gradually took shape in Gu Ling's mind. He decided to integrate the sense of sacredness into himself body, especially the obvious blood vessels and arteries.

Gu Ling sent his spiritual sense into his body and suddenly noticed the dark blood mixed with his own blood.

"This is blood from the sphere!"Gu Ling observed the blood and found that it exuded the same evil aura as the blood drops in the palace.

Gu Ling conducted in-depth observation and research on the blood flowing in the body, then took a deep breath and began to use the newly mastered He used Qi to guide the dark blood to flow to his Dantian.

When the blood touched his Dantian, Gu Ling screamed in pain. It felt like his Dantian was about to explode in an instant.

"Phew, so dangerous. If I hadn't stopped in time, I might have died.

Gu Ling thought:"Isn't this step shown on the picture?" Or does it not actually refer to this evil blood?"With these questions, he tried to find out the crux of the problem

"If the blood cannot flow to my Dantian, will it flow to the sphere? But why? Isn't the sphere a giant storage ring?"Gu Ling was full of confusion. He could only verify his theory through practice. After learning the lesson from last time, Gu Ling carefully guided a small amount of blood to the sphere.

"Be careful."He reminded himself all the time. The dark red blood slowly approached the sphere, and at the moment it was about to touch it, it was suddenly sucked into it quickly. Seeing this scene, Gu Ling's eyes flashed with excitement

"It doesn’t even hurt! This must be what is depicted in the picture. Gu Ling said loudly. He continued to guide more blood into the sphere. After a few minutes, all the dark red blood was absorbed into the sphere.

Just as Gu Ling was immersed in the joy of solving the puzzle, a burst of energy was suddenly released from inside the sphere. A powerful energy surged into his body instantly. This energy made Gu Ling clench his teeth in pain. Although he tried his best to suppress the surging energy, no matter how he struggled, the energy was still getting stronger and stronger.

"If this continues, I will be overwhelmed. What should I do?"Gu Ling muttered to himself painfully. He was thinking hard about the solution, and suddenly glanced down, and happened to see the black book. He suddenly had an idea, opened the first page of the book, and studied it carefully. The last image.

After studying that image in depth, Gu Ling decided to guide the surging energy back to the sphere and dredge it according to the meridians in the image.

As Gu Ling gradually mastered this energy, his pain It also began to gradually subside. He carefully guided the energy to flow along the meridians, and was pleasantly surprised to find that every part of the body was constantly strengthening.

Although the changes in front of him shocked him, Gu Ling still persisted in directing energy to every part of the body. parts. A few hours later, he finally absorbed all the energy completely. Gu Ling released his sacred perception again and was shocked to find that his body had reached a whole new level.

"Every part of my body has improved dramatically compared to before. Regardless of the cause, increased strength is always gratifying."Gu Ling was about to celebrate his breakthrough, but suddenly stopped.

"Wait, does this mean I can only be a physical practitioner now?"

In the world of spiritual practice, it is well known that practitioners usually focus on two directions: physical practice or spiritual practice.

For spiritual practitioners, they will store Qi in their Dantian and perform destructive magic by releasing Qi. Attack. However, this practice will cause their bodies to become relatively weak.

Physical practitioners, on the other hand, focus on strengthening their own physique. By constantly nourishing the body with the Qi in the Dantian, they are able to strengthen the body to extraordinary level. This not only improves their defense capabilities, but also enhances their explosive power. However, the price of this practice is that the Qi in the Dantian will continue to be absorbed by the body and used to nourish and drive the body's operation.

Due to The body requires continuous Qi to maintain normal operation, and as the body continues to strengthen, the demand for Qi will become greater and greater. Since Qi is often used to nourish and drive the body, body practitioners cannot store large amounts of Qi in the Dantian.Without sufficient qi reserves, any magical attack will become an ineffective attack.

Therefore, practitioners know that they must choose one direction for cultivation: physical or spiritual. Those who try to cultivate both ultimately fail in both. Remarkable achievements have been made in one direction. Therefore, practitioners no longer try to cultivate the body and mind at the same time, but focus on practicing in one direction. The

Gu clan family has always taken intensive farming as its main business, so Gu Ling has determined to follow this path since he was a child. path. However, now he begins to doubt whether he can achieve this goal.

"Although I have already embarked on the path of physical training, I have just started. If I choose to give up now and focus on agriculture, it shouldn’t have much negative impact."Gu Ling tried to calm down and began to think.

Just as he gradually calmed down, an astonishing discovery shocked his mind again.

"Wait, my body's strengthening energy comes from that sphere, not my Dantian."

Gu Ling concentrated on the position of Dantian, trying to draw a breath of energy from it. He breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it is still working normally. etc.……"Gu Ling's thoughts gradually became clearer, and an astonishing idea appeared in his mind.

He returned his attentionCenter on the sphere, think of it as your Dantian, and try to draw energy from it

"ah!"

A cry of surprise echoed in the cave.

"This sphere...is it also a Dantian?"
