Chapter 3 Demon Transformation
Chapter 3 Demon Transformation
Back in his room, Wang Yuan sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and earnestly studied the Starfire Sword Technique.
Although the Starfire Sword Technique only has three moves, it is a complete cultivation sword technique, which includes both breathing techniques and sword moves.
These two are not separate, but rather a complementary whole.
When breathing in and out, one needs to coordinate with sword techniques; similarly, when performing sword techniques, one also needs to breathe in and out to unleash the full power of the sword techniques.
Therefore, there is no need to meditate and cultivate Qi when practicing the Starfire Sword Technique.
The three sword techniques progress from simple to complex, and the same applies to the breathing and circulating techniques.
Wang Yuanxian grasped a bit of the Cold Star technique, and this move was a thrust in the swordplay.
The sword thrusts out with the speed of a shooting star, hence the name "A Point of Cold Star".
"Mother, I'll go chop some firewood!"
Half an hour later, Wang Yuan walked out of the house, said something to his mother, and went to the woodshed in the backyard.
The Starfire Sword attracts attention and is not suitable for use when practicing swordsmanship.
Wang Yuan used a wood-chopping knife instead, assumed a posture, took a deep breath, his lungs filled as if they were about to explode, and then exhaled loudly, thrusting out his sword. The airflow in his lungs seemed to pierce into the wooden stake along with this sword.
boom……
Debris from the wooden stake flew everywhere, blasting open a corner of it, and the tip of the knife penetrated three-tenths of an inch into the wood.
To Wang Yuan's surprise, with each breath, a force seemed to be guided into his body from the void and lingered in his lungs.
With this breath in place, even holding your breath for a moment doesn't feel suffocating.
"This is spiritual energy!"
Wang Yuan's eyes lit up. The sword manual recorded that there is spiritual energy in the world, which can be drawn into the body through "breath absorption" and then retained through the method of "guidance".
Spiritual energy can nourish the physical body and also power the Starfire Sword to unleash sharp sword energy.
The process of cultivating the Starfire Sword Technique includes two rituals: "absorbing qi" and "guiding qi".
"The Starfire Sword Technique is not easy to master. The reason I was able to get the hang of it on my first try is due to the bonus of +2 to swordsmanship comprehension after equipping the Starfire Sword."
After understanding this, Wang Yuan's enthusiasm for practicing swordsmanship soared.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Exhausted, Wang Yuan stopped practicing his swordsmanship. A pile of firewood had already accumulated in front of the woodshed.
Sitting on a wooden stake, Wang Yuan checked the equipment inventory data.
Name: Wang Yuan
Vitality: 4.2
Mental Power: 6.2
Comprehension: 4 (Swordsmanship +2)
Equipment: Starfire Sword (Mastery 3%)
Vitality increased by 0.1 points, mental strength increased by 0.2 points, and control level increased to 3%.
Wang Yuan felt the most obvious improvement in his vitality.
He could feel that his strength had increased by a certain amount during this hour of sword practice. This was thanks to the cultivation of qi, which increased the spiritual energy in his body. Now, this spiritual energy filled half of his lungs.
This wisp of spiritual energy was like a very obedient puppy, under Wang Yuan's control, and could flow within his body.
It is not static, but constantly decreasing.
The reduced spiritual energy did not dissipate but rather merged into his lungs, internal organs, and flesh. Wang Yuan could feel this process; his breathing became more powerful, and he was able to breathe in more air and spiritual energy each time.
When the lungs and internal organs become stronger, the efficiency of breathing exercises and guiding qi will be higher.
After being nourished by the spiritual energy of the lungs, internal organs, and flesh, a portion of it begins to transform. After the transformation, the flesh and blood can accommodate, absorb, and utilize spiritual energy.
If previously flesh and blood needed to obtain energy from food to function and sustain their bodily functions...
After the transformation, the flesh and blood gain an additional ability: they can consume spiritual energy to gain power and sustain their functions.
"Once my physical body completes its transformation, I will be able to survive without food or drink, relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is the Hundred-Day Foundation Building!"
Wang Yuanming realized that the essence of cultivation and breathing techniques is evolution.
An ordinary person's physical body cannot utilize spiritual energy.
After the physical body completes its transformation, everything from cells to organs can be maintained using spiritual energy.
In this way, one can go without food or water without starving or exhausting one's strength.
The spiritual energy is more concentrated, making the physical body's explosive power stronger. Ordinary cells and organs simply cannot withstand this energy burst. Only the transformed cells and organs are stronger and can withstand the spiritual energy burst.
"This is evolution, from a mortal body that needs to eat grains and flesh, to evolving to eat the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Wang Yuan understood the essence of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and then his gaze fell on the Starfire Sword.
Control level increased to 3%!
Wang Yuan slipped into the woodshed, closed the doors and windows, and with a thought, the Starfire Sword appeared in his hand.
Holding the sword, Wang Yuan could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within the Starfire Sword.
This power is not spiritual power, but a more profound power.
To use this power, he needs to meet two conditions: first, he must possess abundant spiritual energy, and second, he must wield the Starfire Sword.
The stronger one's spiritual power, the greater one's control over the Starfire Sword, and the more of the power contained within the Starfire Sword can be mobilized!
Fortunately, Wang Yuan already met both of these conditions.
"Forget it, it's not easy to absorb guiding spiritual energy, I'll save it to nourish my lungs and internal organs first!"
Wang Yuan resisted the urge to try it out. With a thought, the Starfire Sword in his hand disappeared. A surge of hunger and fatigue washed over him like a tide. Even with Wang Yuan's mental strength, he found it hard to resist.
Practicing the Starfire Sword Technique is extremely physically demanding.
His physical body has only just begun to transform and is far from reaching the point where he can eat qi without feeling hungry. Before that, he still needs to eat, and may even eat more.
We have stored grain at home, which is life-saving food for the winter. It will probably not be easy to persuade my mother to eat as much as she wants.
…………
At Black Wind Ridge, the Black Bear frantically devoured the corpses, even gnawing off and swallowing the blood-stained mud from the ground.
too delicious!
The flesh and blood contain a rich spiritual energy, which is a deadly temptation for it.
It swore that in its more than ten years of life, it had never eaten anything so delicious.
Flesh and blood transformed into power, merging into its limbs and bones. Its body began to transform, and a primal, mighty force arose within it.
The bloodthirsty ferocity in Hei Xiazi's eyes began to subside, and his gaze became increasingly filled with wisdom.
After consuming the corpse, it lay quietly on the ground, waiting for its physical body to completely transform.
Once completed, it will break free from the ranks of beasts and become a fairy!
In the blink of an eye, darkness fell.
In the mountains and forests, an old man was performing a series of ritualistic steps while chanting incantations, while a man with a knife stood guard vigilantly to the side.
Suddenly, the old man's body began to tremble violently, his eyes rolled back, and he returned to normal after a few breaths.
"How's it going, old man?"
"The Grass God told me that it could be found ten miles to the left."
"Ten miles to the left, Black Wind Ridge? Let's go, we absolutely cannot let him escape back to the city."
The two moved like lightning, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.
Half an hour later, the man with the knife, his face ashen, fled from Black Wind Ridge like a stray dog. Behind him, the old man's scream and a roar that shook the mountains and forests rang out.
The black bear devoured the old man's flesh and blood, and the half-meter-long wound on his abdomen slowly closed, revealing the damaged internal organs.
After devouring the old man, his wounds had stopped bleeding, but the injuries to his internal organs did not heal so easily.
It roared angrily, its nose twitched a few times, and its bloodthirsty eyes looked toward Wangjiazhai.
It needs more blood to recover from its injuries quickly!
Humans are the best elixir for demons!
