63: Chapter 63 Qi Control Realm Ninth Rank
The time spent deducing the "Immortal Heaven-Devouring Art" this time was nearly double what it took to analyze "Martial Youth" back then.
However, one cannot simply and crudely judge that the "Immortal Heaven-Devouring Art" is twice as profound as "Martial Youth."
One must know that the calculation speed of Chen Moxuan's Special Ability is not constant; it changes as his level of understanding improves.
Compared to back then, his attainments in martial arts are no longer in the same league.
Even so, deducing this Breathing Method that he created himself still took over two hours.
The profoundness of this Breathing Method has already far surpassed the Body Refinement Method, which was continuously perfected by predecessors through the ages and regarded as the bible for introductory Martial Artists.
The moment the deduction of the "Immortal Heaven-Devouring Art" was completed, Chen Moxuan immediately fell into an ethereal state.
Man follows Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Dao, and the Dao follows nature.
He felt as if the entire world had stopped turning, and his own consciousness was floating upward at a speed that defied common sense.
Until he discovered that he was already in a vast and boundless starry sky.
Looking up, a strange staircase constructed of stars appeared before him.
The stars within the staircase were intertwined, outlining complex patterns.
In the dark, Chen Moxuan felt that something at the end of the staircase was summoning him.
He slowly raised his foot and stepped onto the first step.
"Eh?"
A faint, seemingly omnipresent voice abruptly rang through this starry sky.
The next instant, Chen Moxuan only felt an irresistible pulling force surge toward him, as if a giant hand had violently grabbed his consciousness and yanked it down fiercely.
For a moment, the countless starlight around him seemed like arrows leaving a bow, rapidly retreating backward.
In this extreme speed, the flow of time was disrupted, the barriers of space were torn, and Chen Moxuan's consciousness seemed to be traversing time and space.
"What was that just now?"
Chen Moxuan recovered his senses, his heart still beating violently in his chest, lingering fear hard to dissipate.
He truly found it difficult to distinguish whether that experience just now was an illusory dream or some strange, truly existing space?
When his consciousness was in that starry sky, he subconsciously looked back, trying to overlook the full picture of the world he came from.
The scene that met his eyes completely overturned his past understanding.
It was not the appearance of the planet he was familiar with.
Rather, it was countless fragments of worlds that seemed to have been shattered by some mysterious power.
These fragments varied in size, floating in the Void Realm, and between the fragments, there were faintly visible, brilliant star rivers winding and connecting them.
However, before he could think carefully, he discovered a dazzling and warm golden pillar of light tightly enveloping his body.
Unlike the grand momentum outside, the light inside the pillar was soft, seeping into every one of his cells, thread by thread.
"Such pure energy, it comes just in time!" Chen Moxuan's eyes lit up.
He was currently undergoing a Breakthrough and was in need of vast energy.
As the creator of the "Immortal Heaven-Devouring Art," the operation method of this Breathing Method had already become his instinct.
Unlike ordinary Breathing Methods, the "Immortal Heaven-Devouring Art" was no longer limited to the mouth and nose; every cell in his body could serve as an entrance to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
With a thought, the Breathing Method began to operate efficiently on its own.
In an instant, the majestic energy contained within the pillar of light poured into his body at a speed that was almost terrifying.
The power of Qi and blood within his body immediately emitted a resonance sound like the sound of the Dao.
Without the slightest stagnation, as if it were a matter of course, a wisp of extremely pure True Qi suddenly condensed in Chen Moxuan's Dantian.
This meant that at this moment, he had officially stepped into the second Realm of martial arts, the Qi Control Realm.
But this was only just the beginning.
In the blink of an eye, that wisp of True Qi expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon being inflated.
Under the influence of this Breathing Method, Chen Moxuan's Heaven-Swallowing Martial God Physique pushed its devouring ability to the extreme.
The energy in the pillar of light was frantically swallowed into his body, like parched earth encountering spring dew.
Within just a few breaths, Chen Moxuan's Aura climbed again, breaking through the barrier of the second stage of the Qi Control Realm in one go.
Then came the third stage... the fourth stage... the fifth stage...
Although the energy within the pillar of light was majestic and heavy, under Chen Moxuan's frenzied extraction, which was like a glutton, it gradually began to lack staying power.
As the energy was continuously drawn away, the pillar of light shrank more and more, and the originally dazzling and eye-catching light gradually became dull and lackluster.
Until the last wisp of energy was completely absorbed by Chen Moxuan, the pillar of light finally dissipated completely, and the surging, climbing Aura around Chen Moxuan finally calmed down slowly.
"Is this True Qi?"
Chen Moxuan raised his hand, and a wisp of colorless True Qi quickly condensed in his palm.
He placed his palm on the ground, without using any strength at all, just placing it there lightly.
The True Qi in his palm pulsed, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. In an instant, a large pit appeared on the ground.
"This power... I fear that even without using any Martial Skill, just by casually throwing a punch wrapped in True Qi, the force could exceed my previous full-strength strike."
Chen Moxuan brushed the dust off his palm and released another wisp of True Qi.
"If my prediction is correct, then I can also do this..."
Chen Moxuan shifted his thoughts, and the originally colorless and transparent True Qi in his palm instantly turned into a fiery red color, as if ignited by fire.
A scorching heat rushed toward his face.
Immediately after, only hearing a "crackle" sound, countless electric arcs jumped and flickered within the True Qi.
Afterward, Chen Moxuan operated his mind again, and that mass of True Qi transformed once more, turning cyan and emitting a gentle Aura.
Generally speaking, Breathing Methods have different properties, and True Qi will also present different attributes accordingly.
Furthermore, True Qi with attributes cannot be cultivated by just anyone at will; its choice must be determined based on an individual's Physique.
If one chooses to Cultivate True Qi with an attribute that does not match one's own affinity, it is often half the result with twice the effort.
Therefore, when unable to distinguish their own affinity, many people choose to Cultivate non-attributed True Qi.
Even if some people Cultivate True Qi with attributes, they can generally only choose one.
At most, when in the Tiangang Realm, one can supplement it with another non-conflicting attribute of True Qi to Cultivate, allowing one to possess two attributes of True Qi simultaneously.
Someone like Chen Moxuan, where mutually generating and mutually restricting attribute True Qi exist simultaneously and can even transform into each other, completely breaks conventional martial arts knowledge and totally violates the common sense of martial arts that everyone knows.
Actually, the principle is simple.
The reason most Breathing Methods can only accommodate one attribute of True Qi is that these types of Breathing Methods can only absorb specific types of heaven and earth energy.
But, how could the Dao of martial arts be such an inconvenient thing?
The "Immortal Heaven-Devouring Art" created by Chen Moxuan, combined with his Martial God Body, can be called a perfect match, granting him a unique and innate advantage.
He can absorb any energy, so naturally, he can freely use True Qi of any attribute.
When facing enemies in the future, the dominance of fire-attributed True Qi, the swiftness of lightning-attributed True Qi, the toughness of metal-attributed True Qi, the heaviness of earth-attributed True Qi, the recovery ability of wood-attributed True Qi...
All can be changed as he pleases, converted according to the situation, and the Martial Skills he learns will no longer be limited by attributes.
Not only that, but in terms of learning Martial Skills, he has also completely broken free from the shackles of attributes, able to indulge in various Martial Skills and master them thoroughly.
"I wonder, what Realm do I count as now?"
Chen Moxuan's True Qi surged throughout his body, sensing the Aura within him and comparing it with the Qi Control Realm experts he had encountered before.
He felt that his Aura was clearly a cut stronger than Wang Minghui of the Qi Control Realm Eighth Stage, and a little weaker than Ma Jingyuan.
"Qi Control Realm Ninth Stage!?"
Just at this moment, Principal Li and Ma Jingyuan happened to rush to the scene, their eyes widening in an instant.
