Again in a dream.
It was another 500-year Long Life Dream.
In the beginning, Founding Emperor Yan relied on his dicine Spirit Body, claiming to be the only immortal in the world, but he only lived a little over 300 years.
Qiao Mu, now 1135 years old, is equivalent to three or four Founding Emperor Yans.
Nevertheless, the 500-year Long Life Dream is still a long nightmare for Qiao Mu. The length of the dream is about half of his previous life, and it’s never an easy thing.
Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter.
In his long 1135 years of life, Qiao Mu has already thought too much. He has clarified his own persistence and, in the sincere dream of Mountain Mother, has seen the arrogance and desires deep inside his heart.
To this point.
Qiao Mu temporarily doesn’t need to constantly question his inner self in the dream anymore.
For him now, asking and thinking too much is not beneficial and can lead to getting stuck easily.
The more you think, the easier it is to get trapped in your own cocoon.
This is just a bit of shallow experience from the 1135-year-old elder.
So this ti, Qiao Mu only had one thing to do for 500 years.
"Keeping busy with tasks, keeping my mind occupied, is the best way to avoid overthinking."
"The task I choose should not be too simple, it’s best if it requires hundreds of years, sothing that ordinary people may not be able to conquer in their lifetis."
Keeping busy can ease anxiety, it may not cure it completely, but it is truly a good redy, especially for Qiao Mu who has already experienced the most sincere dream.
Qiao Mu had a sudden thought.
His surroundings had already transford into the library of Peach Blossom Villa.
When Peach Blossom Villa spread invitations to warriors all over the world, Qiao Mu received a total of 92 martial arts skills from the martial artists he encountered that day.
It covers weapons, martial arts, physical skills, forbidden techniques, and more, which can be considered all-encompassing.
Most of these martial arts don’t really matter much to Qiao Mu, they just help broaden his horizons.
These are treats that Qiao Mu enjoys to relax after als over the past five hundred years.
The main course includes the fast-paced "Eight Ard Heavenly Dragon Fist", as well as the physical skill "Iron Body", and forbidden techniques "Desperate Strategy" and "Blood at Oven".
As for the main course, it was actually a goal set by Qiao Mu before establishing Peach Blossom Villa.
Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod.
"The Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod has been outdated. Finding ways to develop a more efficient and thorough version of the true Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod is the core focus of the past 500 years."
The predecessor of the "Human Path Sutra" was the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra".
The "Divine Transformation Technique" has no predecessor. It was derived by Qiao Mu from mories of observing superb martial artists like Martial Saint and Earth Sword Immortal in the past.
These two, are considered pioneers ahead, breaking through, but also standing on the shoulders of giants.
The martial arts forbidden techniques of Jiu Province have actually been sowhat behind.
Not to ntion the pioneers of forbidden techniques.
Looking at the whole Jiu Province, there are probably not many people who can be called Qiao Mu’s peers.
Risking a few lives, daring to be as reckless as Qiao Mu? Using forbidden techniques as easy skills?
The "Blood at Oven" by Martial Saint can actually be seen as a derivative of the "Flesh Changing Skill" forbidden technique, which is already a slightly different path, only considered as half a peer.
Therefore, in the way of forbidden techniques, Qiao Mu can be said to be a lonely seeker, with no one ahead of him, and no one behind him.
"Next, we will begin the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod!"
In Qiao Mu’s dream, with a thought in his mind, his whole body’s qi and blood boiled, his skin began to crack, blood seeped out of his pores, and a new internal strength rapidly erged within his ridians.
He practiced the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod in his dreams, not for fighting, but to feel the subtle changes in his body after using the thod.
"Hmm, ordinary people rarely get to experience this."
"How many chances does an ordinary person get in their lifeti to use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod? Even if they do, there is never enough ti to truly understand it."
Qiao Mu carefully felt the changes in his body, experiencing a burning sensation all over, his breath reaching a peak briefly before declining, leading to his body’s ridians breaking and bleeding to death from all seven orifices.
To Qiao Mu, death was as natural as breathing; he returned to normal after a single breath.
"Next, let’s try the Red Moon Burning Blood Technique, Bloodthirsty Skill, and see how they feel…"
In his dream, ti seed endless. In the morning, he practiced various forbidden techniques, including the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod. In the afternoon, he read martial arts books in the Peach Blossom Villa library, and at night, he trained and learned new skills.
Qiao Mu couldn’t spend five hundred years doing just one thing; it was too monotonous and boring, almost like torture. So, he tried to find ways to entertain himself.
As ti passed, when he reached fifty years, Qiao Mu had mastered twenty different martial arts, making his foundation even stronger.
At the sa ti, he spent 50 years carefully studying various martial arts techniques, noticing subtle changes in his own body.
"Just practicing alone won’t be enough to develop the True Strength version of the real Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod."
"One must also deeply understand the essence of martial arts techniques like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod."
Qiao Mu stood up from the library with a single thought in mind.
The scenes around the dream changed one after another, from the mountains outside Yan City to the first use of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, and then to many deaths later on.
The Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod was of great significance to Qiao Mu, it was his key martial arts skill for survival and also the Qiao family’s signature move.
Once Qiao Mu perfected the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, he could instantly trigger it, causing his internal strength to surge five tis higher in a short period.
Now, here cos the question.
Where does this extra four-fold increase in internal strength co from?
After 50 years of research, Qiao Mu realized that if he wanted to further improve his martial arts skills, he had to understand this question:
What is the essence of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod? Where does the explosive power of martial arts forbidden techniques co from?
"All martial arts forbidden techniques have several common points: they co at a great cost, often damaging the practitioner’s body; they are short-lived, similar to a temporary solution; they are extrely powerful but cannot be sustained for long."
In fact, Qiao Mu already had the answer to this.
This sudden surge of four tis internal strength couldn’t have appeared out of nowhere.
The foundation of a martial artist is the body, and qi and blood are a concept used to asure the strength of the body.
When starting in martial arts, one must first train the body, then the muscles, and once the qi and blood are full, internal strength will naturally arise.
So the answer is quite clear now.
"For martial arts forbidden techniques like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, the source of power actually cos from the martial artist’s own body."
"The "Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod" actually involves converting a large amount of internal strength using the body’s blood and energy in a short period of ti. This process is too rough and simple, so it can cause serious damage to the body."
Converting blood and energy quickly into internal strength… This is a clear answer that Qiao Mu ca up with based on his own experience and understanding.
At this point, the unique reason for the Qiao family’s "Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod" beca clear.
Other martial artists not only lack experience with the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod but also, unlike Qiao Mu who has rich experience, they cannot master the thod perfectly.
Compared to Qiao Mu, mainstream Spirit Refining martial artists fall short in terms of body’s blood and energy.
Even with a strong will to sacrifice, it is impossible to unleash a great amount of internal strength using a body with insufficient blood and energy.
With this, the answer beca clear.
However, Qiao Mu was still not satisfied.
He spent another month delving into the sea of books, studying carefully, and then ca up with a second answer.
"Human potential."
"Martial arts secrets are also a powerful thod to unlock human potential."
This potential is deeply hidden within the human body, like a secret spot, although everyone has it, it is difficult to fully utilize.
Most martial artists can only develop their physical potential in their lifeti, similar to how most people only use one thod for certain needs.
It is widely known that the human body has imnse potential.
When people are extrely angry, they beco very mad.
Although the technique of sliding and striking the tiger may seem exaggerated, in tis of danger, people can sotis unleash extraordinary strength or speed.
How to effectively unlock the potential… is the next topic Qiao Mu plans to study.
"Wait a minute…" Qiao Mu suddenly had a creative idea and realized a problem:
"If the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod is a powerful secret technique that explosively unleashes the human body’s potential…"
"By further developing the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, doubling it, tripling it, quadrupling it, increasing step by step, the damage to the body becos more severe."
"So, what if it’s the other way around?" Qiao Mu suddenly had a curious idea:
"With my advanced level of Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod and body control, if I use only a little bit of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, like controlling it at half strength, can the damage to the body be kept at a manageable level?"
"If we reverse-engineer the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, from half strength, to one-fifth strength, one-tenth strength…"
"Is it possible to develop a… low side effect, non-lethal youth version of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, which can gently guide the body’s potential eruption?"
Every ti Qiao Mu used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, he would experience severe damage to his ridians due to the massive internal strength it brought.
So, if he gently used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod once, slightly increasing it just a little, could it allow the body’s ridians to gradually adapt to the shape of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, expanding bit by bit, able to contain more internal strength…
Initially like narrow pathways, then through continuous practice, gradually expanded to explore the ridians?
Qiao Mu thought for a long ti, using his extensive knowledge of martial arts to decide if he should give it a try.
"Practicing the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod in reverse…I feel like I’m going against the normal way of forbidden techniques."
Thinking about it, Qiao Mu felt like he had good luck.
Most people who have inspiring thoughts usually stop at just that, it’s hard to turn them into actions.
Exploring martial arts can be risky, as one wrong move can lead to dark paths, especially when exploring forbidden martial arts.
Qiao Mu bravely tried it out, but found it much more difficult in practice than he had imagined.
"Oh boy, I used too much force." Qiao Mu’s body boiled with energy, blood seeped from his skin, and his veins burned with searing pain…
Although Qiao Mu had mastered the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, this delicate physical manipulation was a completely different direction from his previous practice with the technique.
It’s like practicing with a sharp butcher’s knife technique versus a delicate dragon-slaying knife on tofu, the latter requires more precise body control.
Every ti Qiao Mu used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, he aid for a mutual destruction with the enemy. Have you ever tried this approach?
…………..
The 100th year.
Qiao Mu mastered the martial art technique "Desperate Strategy".
"Desperate Strategy" is a unique technique for throwing hidden weapons. It can instantly unleash physical strength and internal energy, concentrating most of it into a single hidden weapon for a desperate gamble.
The 150th year.
Qiao Mu perfected the "Iron Body" technique.
The 200th year.
Qiao Mu broke through the rapid "Eight Ard Heavenly Dragon Fist" technique, advancing from two arms to four arms.
His fists moved so fast it seed like he had grown an extra pair of arms.
The 400th year.
Qiao Mu, using his best martial art technique "Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod" as the foundation, combined with "Bloodthirsty Skill" and "Desperate Strategy" along with a total of 9 different martial art techniques from the Gu Cheng Martial Arsenal and Peach Blossom Villa library, deduced pathways for "Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod"…
"In this case, it shouldn’t be called one-tenth of the ‘Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod’, it should be called…"
Qiao Mu waved his brush and wrote four words on the white paper:
"Heavenly Demon Forging Body".
The original Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod is an explosive technique used in combat.
On the other hand, the reverse Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod is no longer a combat technique, but a practice thod for regular training.
By using a less intense version of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, stimulating the body’s ridians little by little, expanding the ridians gradually, and transforming the physical body bit by bit…
So Qiao Mu called it "Heavenly Demon Forging Body."
This body forging technique is essentially a small-scale Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, so it still causes slight internal injuries to the body.
Therefore, in Qiao Mu’s opinion, regular people practicing "Heavenly Demon Forging Body" must not be reckless. They can only practice it once every seven days. If they are too eager, they risk accumulating internal injuries or even facing the true Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod, which is equivalent to suicide.
Of course…
For Qiao Mu who has mastered the Shape Changing Skill, even the five-fold Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod can heal injuries. Naturally, he can ignore the small internal injuries of the Heavenly Demon Forging Body.
"This is a miraculous skill that slowly transforms the body and purifies the essence." Qiao Mu exclaid.
However, amidst his admiration, he also belatedly realized sothing:
Did he unintentionally deviate from his original path?
He had initially set out to strengthen the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod but ended up impulsively deriving the Heavenly Demon Forging Body technique.
"Never mind, there’s still 100 years left to continue perfecting this ‘Heavenly Demon Forging Body’."
