237: Chapter 238 Five Elements Internal Organ Refinement! Starting from the Heart!

Deep in the Blood Pool of the Dragon Tomb.

Lin Qi's consciousness was already completely immersed in sorting out the energy within his body.

This was a crazy act that had no precedent, and was destined to have no successor.

His body was like a pressure cooker at this moment.

Outside, there was a continuous injection of energy from the Blood Pool; inside, there was the violent energy he was forcibly suppressing with his Martial Intent.

Caught between the inside and outside, his remaining wisp of consciousness was like walking on the thinnest tightrope, with a bottomless abyss beneath him.

But his "heart" was incomparably calm.

The experience of a Martial Saint meant that facing such a life-or-death situation, he no longer had any emotional fluctuations.

There was only absolute rationality and focus.

After an unknown amount of time spent sorting, he finally divided the chaotic mass of energy within his body into several streams.

Some were scorching like fire, some heavy like earth, some sharp like metal, some long-lasting like water, and some vibrant like wood.

Although they all originated from the true dragon relic blood, their intrinsic attributes vaguely corresponded to the "Five Elements" in ancient Chinese martial arts theory.

"Organ Refining Realm, it is about refining the five internal organs."

"The heart belongs to fire, the lungs belong to metal, the liver belongs to wood, the kidneys belong to water, and the spleen belongs to earth."

"When the five organs are strong, Qi and blood flow endlessly, and the Physical Body's circulation becomes a self-contained System; only then can one achieve the Indestructible Golden Body."

In his past life's "martial arts era", these theories were just background settings guiding players on how to choose Cultivation Techniques and allocate attribute points.

But at this moment, they became his only lifeline and guide for action.

"Step one, refine the heart!"

His consciousness made a choice in an instant.

The heart is the engine of the human body and the hub for the circulation of Qi and blood.

Only by first repairing and upgrading this engine could he have enough strength to deal with other problems.

With a thought, a gap appeared in the great net formed by "Martial Intent".

He carefully drew a thin stream of energy from the scorching, fire-like energy.

It was only as thin as a hair.

But as soon as this wisp of energy broke free from the constraints of the net, it immediately became violent, like a fire snake, charging straight toward his heart, which had already stopped beating.

"Excellent!"

Lin Qi's consciousness did not have a trace of panic.

His "Martial Intent" instantly transformed into countless finer threads, wrapping around the fire snake layer by layer before it could strike his heart.

It was not suppression; it was "forging"!

He remembered what a top-tier swordsmith friend had said to him in the game of his past life.

"The best sword is not cast from a mold; it is hammered thousands of times to knock out all the Impurities and force out the resilience of the steel!"

At this moment, he was using his own "Martial Intent" as an invisible hammer.

He was using that violent fire-attribute energy as a piece of red-hot iron.

And his heart was the sword blank waiting to be tempered!

The hammer of "Martial Intent" began to "hammer" that wisp of energy crazily at a frequency unimaginable to ordinary people.

Every strike contained his ultimate understanding of power and vibration.

It was the "Penetrating Force" from the Baji Mountain Crushing Force!

The Penetrating Force struck in, shattering the most violent and unstable parts of the energy.

What remained was purer, gentler fire-attribute energy.

This process was slow and dangerous.

That wisp of energy was like a tamed wild horse; although it had a bridle on, it was still struggling constantly.

Lin Qi's consciousness had to maintain a high degree of focus at all times.

The slightest distraction would cause this energy to spiral out of control, directly burning his heart into Ashes.

Time completely lost its meaning in this "forging" of hammer blow after hammer blow.

...

Outside.

Cloud Top Palace, monitoring center.

"It changed again!"

An exclamation from a monitor made everyone's heart jump into their throats.

They saw that on the sub-screen displaying the "Subspace Law stability", the curve that had been slowly declining suddenly stopped falling.

No, it didn't stop.

It began to vibrate up and down at a more bizarre, extremely weak frequency.

"What is this situation? Law resonance?" A young monitor blurted out.

"Shut up! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!" Old Mo sternly stopped him, but his own eyes were wide open.

He stared fixedly at the curve, his brain's processor running wildly, trying to find a possibility in his vast sea of theoretical knowledge to explain the phenomenon before him.

The Law stability curve represented the energy cornerstone of the entire subspace.

It would only decline (being consumed) or rise (having external energy replenishment).

This rhythmic vibration, like a heartbeat, was simply not within any known model!

"The frequency..." Instructor Su Qing had been silent, but she suddenly spoke now, her gaze locked on the vibrating curve, "The frequency of this vibration is constantly changing."

Hearing this, everyone looked closely.

Sure enough.

The vibration frequency of that curve was very fast and urgent at first, just like the heartbeat of a beginner.

But as time passed, its frequency became slower little by little, while the amplitude of the vibration grew larger little by little.

It became steadier and more powerful.

It was as if...

It was as if an engine that had stalled, after countless attempts and adjustments, had finally found the correct ignition rhythm and started to emit its steady and powerful roar.

"What is he doing..."

Old Mo looked at the curve, muttering to himself.

He had a premonition that he was witnessing the birth of a brand-new life form that completely exceeded the existing theoretical framework.

This was not martial arts, nor was it the evolution of a System professional.

This was a more ancient, more fundamental... metamorphosis.

"He is... reshaping his own life Law." Instructor Su Qing's voice was very soft, but the content of her words made everyone around who heard it gasp.

Reshaping the Law?

That was a power only gods possessed!

...

Deep in the Blood Pool.

Lin Qi did not know that the outside world had become chaotic because of the commotion he had caused.

All his heart and mind were devoted to the "forging" of his own heart.

That wisp of fire-attribute energy, after being hammered thousands of times by his "Martial Intent Penetrating Force", had completely lost its violent attributes.

It had turned into an incomparably pure, warm current full of vitality.

"Now is the time!"

Lin Qi's consciousness seized a perfect opportunity.

With a thought, this warm current was slowly and gently injected into his heart, which had already been cold and dead.

Wherever the warm current passed, those necrotic cells began to regain their vitality.

The coagulated blood began to become scalding hot again.

Thump.

An extremely faint but incomparably clear heartbeat sounded from deep within his chest.

It was like an ancient bell that had been silent for ten thousand years being struck for the first time.

Immediately after.

Thump! Thump!

The heartbeat became more and more powerful, more and more steady.

A powerful Qi and blood, carrying brand-new vitality, pumped out from this reborn heart and began to surge toward his limbs and bones.

The first step of Organ Refining, refining the heart.

Success!

Lin Qi's consciousness did not have a trace of joy and immediately turned to the next target.

"The lungs belong to metal, governing breathing and respiration. I will use the sharp energy of metal to forge my lungs!"

His consciousness reached out again toward that mass of sharp, metal-like energy.
