287: Chapter 287 The Essence of Fist Intent

[You focused your mind and contemplated for a while. Ultimately, you decided to first Breakthrough to the Heaven-Man Realm.]

[This decision was not reckless. In your view, since the boundless creation dharma idol was condensed using the Great Dao True Intent contained within your talent as its Foundation during the Breakthrough to the Dharma Idol Realm...]

[...your essence would be strengthened by your talent, allowing you to better exert the power of that talent.]

[Thus, after breaking through to the Heaven-Man Realm and forging the Boundless Creation Dharma Body, you would surely undergo further baptism and transformation by the 'Boundless Creation' talent.]

[That baptism is not just a sublimation of power, but a leap in essence. At that time, you will surely be able to harness the power of the 'Boundless Creation' talent more deeply, laying a more solid Foundation for your future path.]

[March 10th, 1006th year of the Great Yong Dynasty.]

[You left the capital city of Xuanjing once again, your figure appearing on another desolate mountain range far from human tracks outside the city.]

[Coincidentally, when you broke through to the Dharma Idol Realm back then, the natural dissipation of your Dao Rhyme caused that desolate mountain to glow with vitality and nurture a bit of spiritual energy.]

[Now, that mountain has been occupied by a School overseen by a fourth-rank Martial Artist and is regarded as a blessed land.]

[The mountain wind was biting and the rocks were jagged. You found a valley sheltered from the wind and, just as you did when breaking through to the Dharma Idol Realm, you circulated the 'Mortal Transformation Art'.]

[Then, with a slight movement of your fingertips, strands of profound spiritual energy followed your guidance, silently sinking into the ley lines, rocks, and the Void Realm for a hundred miles around, inscribing layers of incredibly complex Breath-Concealing Runes.]

[The Formation composed of these runes was far more effective than just shielding against the detection of ordinary Martial Artists.]

[Its deeper purpose was to construct a temporary 'barrier' to isolate yourself as much as possible from the gaze of the mysterious Heavenly Will of this world.]

[At this current point in time, the Rules of heaven and earth have not yet fully loosened. Openly breaking through to the Heaven-Man Realm would very likely attract unpredictable suppression or backlash.]

[With all preparations in place, you sat cross-legged, your heart as calm as an ancient well.]

[You took out several bottles of supplementary Medicinal Pills you had prepared long ago: there was the 'Spirit-Settling Pill' to stabilize the Divine Soul, the 'Sea Essence Jade Liquid' to surge with true yuan, and the 'Golden Marrow Meridian-Protecting Powder' to protect the Meridians.]

[The Medicinal Pills entered your stomach, turning into warm currents that merged into your limbs and bones, pushing your physical and mental state to its Peak.]

[Then, you closed your eyes for internal visualization, sinking your mind into your Sea of Consciousness. That massive dharma idol, symbolizing the Dao of Boundless Creation, rose behind you.]

[Light flowed, beginning to resonate and blend with every inch of your Physical Body's skin, every drop of blood, and every segment of bone.]

[This was a process of slow, meticulous work. The Fusion of the dharma idol and the Physical Body was not a crude superposition, but a subtle penetration and reconstruction at the level of Law and matter.]

[Time passed in silence. The sun rose and the moon set; in the blink of an eye, three days and three nights had passed.]

[Finally, as the morning sun rose on the third day and the purple Qi came from the east, your body suddenly jolted. The pores all over your body opened, erupting with an indescribable Chaos radiance.]

[It was as if some barrier inside your body shattered with a bang. A brand new, vast power, closer to the Origin of heaven and earth, awakened and surged from the depths of your Soul.]

[That 'boundless creation dharma idol' had completely disappeared—or rather, it had perfectly become one with you.]

[Your body is now the dharma idol, and the dharma idol is your body—the Boundless Creation Dharma Body is complete!]

[Just as you expected, at the moment the dharma body condensed and formed, another part of the Great Dao True Intent hidden deep within your talent was stimulated.]

[Like the purest source of creation, it performed another thorough washing and reshaping of your essence, Qi, and spirit.]

[You could clearly feel that your Divine Soul was more condensed and pure, your true yuan was more vast and refined, carrying the flavor of Rules as it circulated, and your Physical Body's strength had leaped to a brand new level.]

[The most important change lay in your control and application of the 'Boundless Creation' talent.]

[Many methods of application that were previously obscure or beyond your reach now became clear and traceable, like clouds parting to reveal the sun.]

[The power of the talent you could mobilize—whether it was the growth and creation of 'Creation' that evolves all things, or the all-encompassing 'Limitless' that never reaches an end—had been significantly enhanced.]

[June, 1006th year of the Great Yong Dynasty.]

[On this day, in a secret chamber a thousand meters underground deep within your manor, you were sitting cross-legged in meditation.]

[Surrounded by thick profound iron walls that blocked out all external sounds, only the airflow faintly driven by your breathing circulated in the gloom.]

[With your eyes slightly closed, your mind sank into your body. A domineering and ancient Fist Intent slowly floated around you.]

[At this moment, the Fist Intent seemed to have a life of its own, brightening and fading with your breathing. At times it was like a scorching sun in the sky, at others like a hidden current in the dark night, constantly rotating between the ethereal and the real.]

[Suddenly, your body jolted slightly. That originally outward-radiating Fist Intent actually began to collapse inward, as if the stars of the Universe were returning to a singularity.]

[It was also at this instant that all your past hard thinking on martial arts, your insights into combat, and your observations of life flowed like a hundred rivers to the sea, all pouring into the core of that Fist Intent.]

[Finally—a soundless cracking noise rang out from the depths of your Soul. That Fist Intent was no longer ethereal and vague; it had condensed into substance!]

[It seeped out from the pores of your body, like light and mist, yet heavy as a mountain, instantly filling the entire secret chamber.]

[The dust in the air, kicked up by the Breakthrough, had been dancing chaotically. Now, it seemed to fall into a quagmire; its speed of falling and floating slowed by ten or a hundred times. Even time itself seemed thick and sluggish here.]

[The Fist Intent Materialization continued to expand. The moment it touched the walls of the secret chamber, an incredible change occurred.]

[The indestructible profound iron actually lost its metallic luster as if weathered by ages, turning into grayish-brown rock, then softening and crumbling into the most primitive soil.]

[This was not destruction, but a fundamental reconstruction. Wherever the Fist Intent reached, the structure of matter was reshaped according to your will.]

[Immediately after, the Fist Intent circulated and changed again, condensing a tiny 'world' in the center of the secret chamber.]

[Within it were phantoms of mountains, winding rivers, and even flickering light and shadow, as if it were the prototype of a real world.]

[This world existed for only an instant before collapsing and vanishing inward. The catastrophic energy released by the annihilation had not yet exploded when it was effortlessly smoothed over and dissolved by your Fist Intent, like a wave returning to a tranquil deep pool.]

[You slowly opened your eyes, and in your pupils, it seemed as if stars were being born and dying.]

[This is Fist Intent Materialization—reconstructing matter, interfering with time, and creating space!]

["As expected of a Golden Finger, this talent... is truly exaggerated enough."]

["I didn't expect that I could actually manifest the Realm of 'Human Immortal Martial Dao' from the novels of my previous life in this world."]
