Chapter 476
Wu Pifu's information would inevitably be known by various forbidden zone forces. The two women reminded him of this repeatedly, and Wu Pifu himself felt it should be so.
Even when National Arts are cultivated to a profound realm, there is a sixth sense like "the cicada sensing the autumn wind before it moves." Heaven knows how many special abilities those old monsters in the forbidden zones have. If they didn't know him, that would be one thing, but knowing his situation and seeing him fight repeatedly, these old monsters couldn't possibly not know his information.
Therefore, the next attacks would inevitably come. The only difference was the length of time.
Wu Pifu didn't think about when the attacks would come, nor did he think about the intensity of the attacks. His behavior could be called carefree if put nicely, or heartless if put harshly.
However, this was Wu Pifu's thought, because he couldn't control whether others would attack or how strong the forces sent to attack would be. This wasn't something he could decide, so rather than worrying, it was better to adjust his state and kill all the incoming enemies.
Wu Pifu ate and drank well in the city every day, and also practiced with Zhang Xuer and Su Huangyin (the woman of the demon race) every day.
The only pity was that all the information about the technique in Zhang Xuer's mind had prohibitions. Unless the elders of the sect issued a prohibition unlock, she had no way to tell Wu Pifu the other half of the technique missing from Human Immortal martial arts.
"... Little junior brother, the accumulation of your physical blood and Qi has far exceeded the normal level of a Martial Saint. Although it is not yet up to the level of a Heaven-Shaking Human Immortal, this is already a non-human level. However, you haven't obtained the inheritance of Nature Cultivation, so the progress of your Life Cultivation is extremely slow. It seems like you are still far from a Martial Saint, but this is actually just because all the progress of your Life Cultivation has turned into accumulation. Once you obtain Nature Cultivation, you will immediately soar into the sky!"
Wu Pifu slapped out a palm, and a vast force of Qi surged a hundred meters away, turning into a palm wind and slapping toward Su Huangyin.
Su Huangyin rolled her long sleeves, and a flame came out of thin air. With just a light burn, this palm wind dissipated without a trace.
Su Huangyin shook her head and said, "Little brother, this won't do. I have also fought with several Earth-Shaking Martial Saints. The power of their fists and palms can at least reach a hundred meters away, and they can be at least evenly matched with my flame. But what you hit out is just ordinary wind stirred up by the force of Qi."
Wu Pifu stood still and thought silently.
Zhang Xuer flew in mid-air and laughed softly, "Little junior brother, don't be annoyed. This is really because you don't know Nature Cultivation. Although my True Martial lineage also has a focus in cultivation, Nature and Life dual cultivation is the core. Don't look at me as a Yin Thunder Ghost Immortal; my Life Cultivation has also reached the level of tendon-changing and marrow-washing, and my senior brother Ess's Nature Cultivation has reached the stage of possession. The two are indispensable."
Wu Pifu stood still and pondered silently, then stepped on the ground and rushed toward Su Huangyin with his physical body.
Su Huangyin was shocked. Her whole body turned into a ball of flame and flew directly into mid-air. When she saw Wu Pifu's palm land where she had just stood, and with a bang, it exploded the air, she said with lingering fear, "No, why are you like this? Didn't we agree it was just sparring? You are trying to kill me!?"
Wu Pifu didn't answer, but he didn't pursue either. Zhang Xuer laughed and said, "I know what little junior brother means. You mean, as long as you can kill the enemy, distance doesn't matter, right? But Nature Cultivation is not that simple. First, it is to solidify martial intent; second, you must have Nature Cultivation to open the secret treasures of the human body, and then achieve the Heaven-Shaking Human Immortal, and even the various sublimation realms after the Human Immortal. One orifice opens a hundred orifices, fist intent becomes substantial, the physical body changes in a thousand ways, until the final shattering of the vacuum!"
Wu Pifu was silent for a moment and asked, "What exactly does Nature Cultivation refer to?"
Zhang Xuer laughed, "I can say this. The so-called Nature Cultivation of the True Martial lineage is an extraordinary path that specializes in the spiritual consciousness side. I see that little junior brother also has a meditation method. This meditation method should be an extraordinary path on the spiritual consciousness side of the Heavenly Court lineage... If possible, little junior brother should try not to use it in the future. The Heavenly Court is far more terrifying than what I am saying now."
At this point, Zhang Xuer's face became serious, then she laughed again and said, "And the Nature Cultivation of my True Martial lineage, when you first start practicing, is indeed the same as other spiritual consciousness extraordinary meditations. It starts from visualization, meditation, casting thoughts, etc., in the sea of consciousness. There is nothing strange about it. But as you enter the door, the subsequent practice is completely different from other extraordinary system meditation methods... Little junior brother, what do you think is the greatest characteristic of Ancient Martial Arts and Human Immortal martial arts Life Cultivation?"
Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "Control, condensation, accumulation?"
"That's right!"
Zhang Xuer praised, "You are indeed a Seed of the Ultimate Path, so easily saying the greatest characteristic of my True Martial lineage. It is exactly these three: control, condensation, and accumulation. And the Life Cultivation of the True Martial lineage is the same. It both emphasizes controlling everything about oneself—power that cannot be controlled is not power—and emphasizes condensing essence, condensing form, condensing life, and finally falling into accumulation. It is said that when the civilization was still there, someone read articles every day, understood the changes of the Great Thousand World, understood the unpredictability of the human heart, understood the impermanence of life and death, for decades as one day. Then, when the spring thunder suddenly rang, he projected his essence, Qi, spirit, and intent out of the sea of consciousness, was tempered by the heavenly thunder, and achieved the Five Tribulations and Six Tribulations Ghost Immortal in one fell swoop. This is what is called being astonishingly talented."
Wu Pifu heard this and thought carefully about his National Arts and Human Immortal martial arts. Unlike other extraordinary paths, this is to exercise the physical body and oneself, control the blood and Qi, and at the same time refine and wash, and accumulate extremely profound physical fitness. If the missing half of the consciousness level of Human Immortal martial arts is also like this...
"Borrowing the false to cultivate the true?" Wu Pifu asked.
Zhang Xuer's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in praise, "Exactly, exactly. This is the foundation of the Nature Cultivation of my True Martial lineage: borrowing the false to cultivate the true! First, visualize techniques, array diagrams, and mysterious Dharma images in your mind. According to different visualization methods, the progress and condensed thoughts are also different, and the strength is naturally different. As the Nature Cultivation practice gets deeper, when you finally reach the Ghost Immortal, you can borrow the false to cultivate the true!"
While speaking, a crystal floated out from between Zhang Xuer's eyebrows. She held this crystal and said, "This is my thought. When Nature Cultivation reaches the Ghost Immortal realm, it can turn the virtual into reality, showing your spiritual consciousness to the material world in the form of thoughts, and it can directly affect the material world. But you still need to survive the thunder tribulation. I am now a One Tribulation Ghost Immortal. Surviving one thunder tribulation means absorbing a trace of Yang energy from the thunder at the outermost edge of the thunder explosion. Only then can the thoughts turn from Yin to Yang. Otherwise, any roar or explosion of blood and Qi from you can destroy my thoughts."
Wu Pifu looked carefully at the crystal in Zhang Xuer's hand. He thought for a moment and said, "It feels very weak, far less powerful than a physical body tempered a thousand times."
Zhang Xuer was originally laughing, but when she heard this, her smile immediately became awkward. She forced a laugh and said, "It's not like that, little junior brother. Let me tell you, I am only limited by the forbidden zone. If there were enough True Realm for me to consume, my thoughts wouldn't be so fragile. Moreover, the technique I practice is actually a top-tier but lower-end technique when the civilization was still there. It is normal for the thoughts not to be strong enough..."
"However, I have heard my master say that when the True Martial lineage civilization was still there, there were four sets of Nature Cultivation techniques known as unprecedented and unrepeatable, each with its own mysteries. They are the supreme treasures of Nature Cultivation, namely the True Martial Only-Me Sutra, the Past Amitabha Sutra, and the Three Purities Supreme Sutra. They were created by the strongest of the True Martial lineage, created with the gift of Buddhism, and created with the gift of the Heavenly Court. Each technique practiced thoughts that are known as indestructible through ten thousand calamities. I don't know if it's true or false."
Wu Pifu's heart moved, preparing that after he established a Level 4 shelter and could obtain designated items from the Dream World, he would recite the names of these three techniques. What if? The Main Brain is such a great ability, what if it just gets them out for him?
However, he still said, "There are only three techniques here. Didn't you say four?"
Zhang Xuer immediately looked embarrassed. Su Huangyin on the side laughed loudly, "This is a taboo of your True Martial lineage. You can't even mention it. There is another unprecedented and unrepeatable True Martial Nature Cultivation technique, which was created by the Ultimate Sublimator who overturned the Ancient Martial lineage. I vaguely remember it seems to be called Star River..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Xuer shouted in a panic. She immediately said to Wu Pifu, "The last set has been lost. It's not that the inheritance is broken, but it is lost in the literal sense. Learning it is ominous, and there will be a great disaster! Little junior brother, remember, remember!"
Wu Pifu nodded silently. He stood still, closed his eyes, and felt it silently.
He now lacks the spiritual consciousness technique that matches Human Immortal martial arts, which has led to all his strength coming from his physical body, unable to cause spiritual-level crushing like Ess, and unable to form long-range attacks with power.
However, he relies on the Main Brain and can freely travel to many Dream Worlds. This seems to be a characteristic that other True Civilizations do not possess. And he is the Seed of the Ultimate Path that the two women spoke of, and can learn any number of extraordinary paths without hindrance. Then he doesn't have to be confined to just Human Immortal martial arts. If there is Nature Cultivation now, that's best. If there is no Nature Cultivation, he might not be able to attack from a distance.
Thinking of this, Wu Pifu opened his eyes. His arms suddenly turned pitch black, showing a metallic luster. Then, with a thought, this metallic luster immediately wrapped around the Broken Hero Blade in his hand, rendering the Broken Hero Blade into the same pitch-black metallic luster.
This wasn't over. He stared, and a vast and terrifying pressure descended on the spot. Zhang Xuer and Su Huangyin's faces changed, and they both retreated thousands of meters away.
Threads of electric current began to appear beside Wu Pifu, the whole earth trembled, and the clouds in the sky split into two sides with Wu Pifu's position as the center. At this very moment, Wu Pifu fiercely waved the Broken Hero Blade toward the sky. The pitch-black metallic color mixed with the surrounding electric current turned into a crescent slash. At first, it was only a few meters long, but after flying hundreds of meters into the sky, it turned into tens of meters long. When it flew to a distance of thousands of meters, it turned into hundreds of meters long. A huge crescent slash cut through the sky, flew to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, and formed a vacuum semicircle that remained in the sky for a long time.
"Overbearing Crescent Moon Sky-Piercer!!"
Wu Pifu shouted, then felt that the name didn't seem very cool, shook his head, and walked toward the city.
The two women came back to their senses. Both of their faces were extremely complex. Su Huangyin sighed straightforwardly, "It really is worthy of being a Seed of the Ultimate Path. Mixing and superimposing multiple extraordinary systems is indeed powerful..."
Zhang Xuer said reluctantly, "The extraordinary path of my True Martial lineage is enough to sweep everything, but... being able to absorb other extraordinary paths to learn from each other's strengths is also, also not bad!"
(So sour, so envious and jealous...)
Wu Pifu vaguely felt that he perceived such a sentence from the emotions in the two women's consciousness through the Super Brain.
"Let's go, let's go back... The first enemy has arrived." Wu Pifu said.
The two women were shocked. They floated into mid-air. Then flames appeared in Su Huangyin's eyes, and divine light flickered in Zhang Xuer's eyes. They both saw beyond the horizon, and then they saw a huge, thousand-meter-high, twisted fortress that looked like a small mountain moving toward the city.
This fortress looked like it was mixed with rocks, trees, metal, flesh and blood, bones, internal organs... everything was twisted and mixed together, forming the outline of a fortress, with a large number of technological weapons and extraordinary organs on it. It was a terrifying monster.
"Alchemy lineage!"
"Strategic-level Forbidden Alchemy Body!!"
