Chapter 552: The Beginning of Immortal Martial Arts!!

"... Main Brain, I plan to go to the central control room after returning to Gaia this time, and then use this thing to explode with you there."

Wu Wu Pifu held an indefinite light crystal in his hand and said the most decisive words with a smiling expression.

"Magical Girl Heart Flower (broken)."

"... She wanted to save her world, but the surging malice destroyed everything, so she closed the light in her heart..."

"... Because it is too broken, it cannot display the information behind."

"When the holder picks up the Heart Flower and places it on the heart position, and the palms of both hands form a heart shape, it will trigger the power of the Heart Flower, infuse the holder's own consciousness sea emotions, and enter the magical girl transformation state. Currently, it can transform for 10 minutes, the relaxation recovery time is 120 hours, can be repaired, can be sublimated."

"... Judging... Judgment complete..."

Just after Wu Wu Pifu said this, the Main Brain's voice rang out again, which was rare.

"... Citizen Wu Wu Pifu triggered the double reward state extremely luckily, drew the second reward, Ultra Instinct (1%)..."

Wu Wu Pifu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously listened carefully to the second reward.

"Ultra Instinct (1%)."

"... This is the favor of heaven, the greatest mercy given to us by the great power in the dark. However, this is too difficult. We cannot understand, cannot understand, cannot understand..."

"... Some unknowable thing obtained from ※■▓¤‰, making... three consecutive epochs... five consecutive epochs... ten consecutive epochs... finally ■■ created the original version of Ultra Instinct from multiple secondary information, and because the original version was too powerful, it suffered heaven's punishment, its fragmentation and differentiation scattered endlessly. Later ■■ created the Nine-Turn Profound Art based on the original version. This is 1% information of the original Ultra Instinct."

"Passive skill, cannot be taught, cannot be practiced, cannot be comprehended, cannot be actively used, can significantly improve the compatibility of many different extraordinary paths. For every 1% increase, ordinary people can learn one extra extraordinary path, ignoring the negative effects of multiple extraordinary paths, but will suffer the final evil fruit backlash. For extreme seeds, for every 1% increase, the final evil fruit effect of multiple extraordinary paths can be reduced by 1%. If collected, it can be immune to the final evil fruit backlash, but will suffer infinite pursuit after the final evil fruit manifests. This cultivation method has common effects for ordinary people and extreme seeds. For every 1% increase, it can increase the strength of all cultivation methods by 10%, with a maximum superposition of increasing all cultivation method effects by 1000%. If collected, it can trace the source of this cultivation method..."

"... Judging, judging, judging..."

Hearing this, Wu Wu Pifu was happy, but also felt terrified in his heart.

Sure enough, even if extreme seeds can learn countless extraordinary paths, there will be terrible backlash, but it's just that there is none in the early stage, all accumulated to the final

And this Ultra Instinct is so strong! If this is truly the Ultra Instinct from that manga he knows, there is no doubt that it deserves this level of power.

But upon hearing the end, the Main Brain fell into a stuttering phase during its judgment process again.

It is truly a rare sight; just in this single exploration journey, he actually witnessed the Main Brain glitch twice in a row.

"... Judgment complete. Collect 100% Ultra Instinct to trigger a transcendence mission... Seeking the Source."

"Can return to the source of Ultra Instinct, learn the technique, Carefree War... Error, error, error..."

After a stretch of errors, the Main Brain made no further sound.

Wu Wu Pifu frowned and said, "Main Brain... Hey, you're not dead, are you?"

"Judging... Judgment complete."

Hearing this reply, Wu Wu Pifu finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart. As expected, it was the answer of an artificial idiot again; then there is no problem.

Since the Main Brain was fine, Wu Wu Pifu happily looked at his two rewards.

Although he didn't obtain a portable Rank Seven Sanctuary, nor did he get anything more powerful, obtaining two rewards at once wasn't bad. Although the Magical Girl transformation was embarrassing, as long as he himself wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be. Not to mention that, at the very least, it was an attribute-stacking type of transformation, right?

The real surprise was the second lucky draw: Ultra Instinct!

Although it was only one percent, this was still a good start, wasn't it?

Its effect could allow him to be immune to the backlash of the Final Evil Fruit. Although, according to the description, the Final Evil Fruit would manifest and hunt him down, when the time comes, it would be a matter of fighting to find out. A concrete enemy is always better than a backlash inside his own body, right?

Moreover, judging from the description, this Ultra Instinct is incredible. For every additional one percent he obtains, the strength of all his techniques will increase by ten percent. This is equivalent to all his current technique effects being boosted by ten percent. Furthermore, this thing clearly has a huge secret behind it just from the description; after collecting one hundred percent, it seems it can even undergo a super-advancement. The technique it advances into is something even the Main Brain cannot judge. This is simply powerful to the point of having no friends!

Just these two rewards alone made it worth risking his life to take that hit from the Source!

At the same time, Huang Rong was also continuously explaining the most basic introductory internal energy techniques, just reaching the relationship between breathing, mindfulness, and the meridians.

Wu Wu Pifu listened silently, while constantly paying attention to Huang Rong's state, occasionally having the Main Brain transfer points to her.

This Lost Penetration exploration caused Wu Wu Pifu's points to suddenly skyrocket to eleven million. It was precisely because he had so many points as a trump card that he had Huang Rong teach him internal energy at this time, which is the so-called Immortal Martial extraordinary path!

"... Transferring 100,000 points..."

"... Transferring 100,000 points..."

"... Transferring 100,000 points..."

As Huang Rong kept explaining the content of the technique, the Main Brain's voice also began to sound frequently. The more critical the information, the more points it consumed. By the time Huang Rong stopped speaking, Wu Wu Pifu had already consumed 5.5 million points.

"5.5 million points..."

Wu Wu Pifu narrowed his eyes. It wasn't directed at Huang Rong, but at this so-called Immortal Martial path, and at the Main Brain.

"If it's not worth 5.5 million points in the end, Main Brain, you know... I suspect you are deliberately suppressing my combat power, or deducting my wages! You wouldn't want to see me chasing after unpaid wages, I swear."

After saying this, Wu Wu Pifu ignored the five old, weak, sick, and disabled people in the distance and said directly to Huang Rong, "Rong'er, I want to practice internal energy here immediately. You stand guard for me. If you encounter an attack, use the Interdimensional Space!"

Huang Rong's face showed worry, but she still nodded earnestly.

Wu Wu Pifu immediately sat cross-legged, recalling the internal energy introductory method Huang Rong had spoken of: mind resting in the dantian, adjusting breathing, using intent to move essence, using essence to refine Qi...

At first, there was no hindrance, and no abnormalities appeared. At the same time, Huang Rong also felt the atmosphere suddenly change. In this world shrouded in thick fog, it was as if the fog had acquired some kind of will and was gathering toward the upper reaches of the sky.

It wasn't just Huang Rong; even the five old, weak, sick, and disabled people looked up at the sky, and then expressions of horror appeared on each of their faces.

"No, impossible, this is..."

"Penetrating from the deepest part to this outer circle??"

"This place is already close to the edge of the real world. Even with the help of the Containment Civilization, this is too..."

"What on earth did this guy do!? This is already the content of the Final Defense Protocol. He isn't even a Sublimated Body; how could he possibly threaten the Infinite Cycle and Perfect Closed Loop jointly formed by the three great Sources!?"

Huang Rong listened to the voices of the five old, weak, sick, and disabled people. The worry on her face deepened. She looked at Wu Wu Pifu, seeing the injuries all over his face and body, feeling both heartache and distress.

Then suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. It wasn't some young girl's emotion, but a real skip in her heartbeat. And it wasn't just her who felt this; the five old, weak, sick, and disabled people also almost instantly shifted their gaze from the sky and looked at Wu Wu Pifu.

A peculiar sensation was emerging from Wu Wu Pifu's body. It felt like the vitality of a heartbeat, yet also like a silent volcano about to erupt. They couldn't describe it, but all their attention was focused on Wu Wu Pifu.

Mind resting in the dantian, Qi circulating through the meridians...

Refining essence into Qi, Qi connecting heaven and earth...

At first, Wu Wu Pifu felt nothing. But in the tenth second of his meditation, a faint heat began to rise from the acupuncture point at the very end of the technique, moving forward along the meridians for about a millimeter before the heat dissipated.

His body's accumulation was too profound. To the internal energy worldview, he was a god, he was a demon, he was a peerless fierce beast that had walked out of the wilderness; he was by no means something that could be described or defined by human standards.

This tiny bit of internal energy didn't even break through a single meridian and was immediately absorbed by his physical body.

But next, the internal energy surging from his acupuncture points became continuous. At first, it was like a stream of heat, but at about thirty seconds into his meditation, the internal energy changed from clumps into torrents, like a flood, beginning to wash through that tough, rocky mountain of a body.

By the time he had been meditating for one minute, these torrents of internal energy turned into sea waves. No matter how tough the rocky mountain was, the waves still seeped in bit by bit, struggling to penetrate and move forward through his meridians.

Then, at two minutes into his meditation, the internal energy directly turned from a flood into a tsunami. With a volume far exceeding that of the tough rocky mountain, it surged forward crazily, crashing and pushing forward wildly through his meridians.

The accumulation of his Human Immortal Martial Dao, which had been dormant due to the lack of higher-level techniques, was ignited at this moment. Even if it was just the most basic introductory internal energy technique, once the refining of essence into Qi began, the internal energy was so vast it was simply terrifying.

If a martial artist practicing internal energy encountered this situation, the only result would basically be qi deviation and exploding to death. But Wu Wu Pifu's physical accumulation was too profound, and he also had self-healing methods for mental backlash. His meridians withstood the violent breakthrough of such terrifying internal energy. Finally, at the five-minute mark of his meditation, the first meridian of the introductory technique was broken through, and the internal energy successfully gathered into his dantian.

After gathering in the dantian, the internal energy immediately underwent a qualitative change. Wu Wu Pifu could also use his intent to control this internal energy. He followed Huang Rong's explanation and began to use this internal energy to perform the Great Circulation breathing, but...

What he didn't know was that the so-called Great Circulation breathing is the daily homework of the internal energy extraordinary path, something an internal energy martial artist spends a lifetime doing—from clearing every meridian to achieve the opening of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, then clearing various collateral channels, reaching the point of piercing the Ren and Du meridians, breaking through the barrier of life and death, and finally opening the Heaven and Earth Bridges. By that step, one has already surpassed the ultimate fantasy of innate martial artists. It is estimated that in all of Jin Yong's stories, only characters close to breaking through the barrier of life and death exist, and they are still an unknown distance away from opening the Heaven and Earth Bridges.

And Wu Wu Pifu...

At ten minutes into meditation, he had already opened the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, and if his total internal energy were judged by Huang Rong's standards, it would be about...

Equivalent to the total amount of ten sixty-year cycles!
