Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World
Wave after wave of severe pain came. Xu Zhen almost lost control of his mind, after all, the qualifications of this body can only be considered ordinary. The better the qualifications, the easier it is to open up the Ren and Du meridians. On the contrary, it becomes more difficult.
The true energy condensed to an extreme point surged unceasingly towards the Ren and Du meridians, pounding against that solid wall.
As time passed, the condensed true energy available in the air sea became less and less, and the speed at which it was generated by the body's operation was far slower than the consumption caused by the bombardment of the Ren Du wall. The terrifying Pre-Heavenly Gate still showed no signs of cracking. Xu Zhen grew anxious.
He knew that breaking through the Pre-Heaven was difficult. Whether it was the records of the present world's kung fu or the explanations in the "Hong Meng Zhuan Lun Jing". Breaking through the Pre-Heaven was a threshold for anyone, and when others broke through the gate of the Pre-Heaven, there were countless seniors holding them up around them. If someone like Xu Zhen appeared to be weak in succession, the supporting seniors would inject their own power into the body of the person breaking through, helping him to make a concerted effort and preventing the appearance of true energy deficiency.
Everyone who breaks through the innate will go to their family or sect to seek a protective spirit pill, which is used to protect their heart and soul. In this way, although some pain can be felt during the breakthrough process, it will never be as painful as Xu Zhen's, who was tortured to death.
In the memories of his dark night, most of them were scenes of being bullied as a weak child. For this kind of body, not to mention innate abilities, even ordinary martial arts could not be practiced. So, Xu Zhen thought that everyone in this world was like himself, breaking through innate abilities must endure the pain of meridian disorder, and can only use the true energy produced by his own body.
Actually, such a breakthrough may bring many hidden dangers, and the lack of follow-up is even more taboo. However, all successful people rely on their own accumulation to break through, and the pain in the process has tempered one's will. Once they successfully break through, these hardships will become capital for impacting higher realms in the future! Without external interference, the true energy that breaks through innate nature is completely condensed by oneself, making the purity of the true energy far surpass those who rely on external forces or objects to break through.
What is meant by innate talent actually refers to the period before one's birth, because once one enters the realm of acquired talent, their body will be constantly tempered by the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Once they have gathered the three flowers and refined the five energies, and entered the realm of the spirit master, their entire body will be completely tempered by the heavenly spiritual energy to the extreme, and there will no longer be any restrictions from acquired talent! The realm of the spiritual master is precisely the process of a martial artist's physical training.
Once a warrior enters the spiritual realm, their body is tempered to its limits, and then they begin to purify their own spiritual energy.
The spiritual master breaks through to the spiritual realm, as long as the boundary of enlightenment is sufficient, it can break through. So, although many people are stuck at this level, there are still many who can break through. The real difficulty lies in the realm from spiritual master to spiritual king! Spiritual king, that is already an emperor's existence among warriors! Enlightenment of the law, changing heaven and earth, all-powerful!
Each inherited sect leaves countless classics for later generations of martial artists to study, so the improvement of their realm is not difficult. The difficulty lies in constantly purifying the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy within one's body. Once the spiritual energy in the meridians and seas reaches purity, they will have the qualifications to compete for the title of King!
Breakthrough, external force true energy enters the body, maybe at first there is no change, but after reaching Ling Zong, when pure heavenly and earthly spiritual energy begins to rise, it will be discovered that these externally entering energies cannot be purified. In the process of breaking through Xian Tian, these foreign energies will also gradually merge with one's own spiritual energy while helping oneself strike Ren Du two meridians, becoming original source spiritual energy. Moreover, for those warriors relying on self-breakthrough, in the Ling Shi boundary, it can clearly show differences from others!
Due to the purity of his spiritual energy, his response to the external world's spiritual energy also surpassed that of many warriors with mixed spiritual energy within their bodies!
Although breaking through the Heavenly Boundary is just a small step, it determines a big step in future achievements!
Moreover, during the breakthrough, the spiritual energy injected into the body, although eventually assimilated into the original spiritual energy, is not self-generated. Therefore, after the sect's ranking, these external spiritual energies will become the greatest obstacle for the future king!
Those who rely on external forces, more than 90% of them are unable to enter the king's stage. Even if they can find some heavenly material or treasure, or use the sect's secret treasures to break through, whether they can succeed is still unknown.
For disciples who rely on their own innate abilities, major sects often attach great importance to them, as they represent the hope for future Wang-class cultivators!
In this world, not to mention the other four major sects and their affiliated countries, only within the Qingxia Sect, there are seven major upper imperial dynasties, twenty-five middle imperial dynasties, one hundred and seven lower imperial dynasties, as well as nearly a thousand kingdoms, independent large cities, with land spanning over 100 billion miles, population exceeding 1 trillion, and those qualified to cultivate into warriors number nearly 10 billion. Among them, those who can break through the Pre-Heavenly stage are at least in the tens of millions.
Tens of millions of innate, how many are there? However, among them, those who can become kings are probably less than two hundred. It can be seen that wanting to become a king is extremely difficult. Although the self-breaking warriors cannot achieve 100% success in becoming a king, because in the growth process, numerous human or accidental unfavorable factors can strangle these geniuses. However, as long as they reach the peak of the Spiritual Sect, those with pure spiritual energy within themselves rely on the sect's accumulation to enhance their realm, and after the spiritual energy is purified through the Qi Sea Meridian, almost all of them achieve the King stage! Therefore, without external force assistance, innate warriors who advance in each sect are treated as quasi-King stage existences!
A naturally talented junior, the degree of blockage in the two meridians is also lower. Such a person can easily rely on their innate abilities to achieve success, or when breaking through, they have very little demand for external help. This is also why large sects value talented disciples.
So, the disciples who are truly valued and nurtured by the sect are mostly those who have achieved their innate status through their own efforts.
Very soon, his own true energy will be exhausted, but the Ren and Du meridians only have a slight crack. The current situation is that he can't afford to let Zhen think of other ways to solve the current problem.
"Am I destined to spend this life like the last, never reaching the pinnacle? No! No! Absolutely not! My life is mine to command, my fate is mine to control!"
Xu Zhen was shouting in his heart, since he crossed into this world, he had always been low-key and hidden, afraid of putting himself in danger. But the current situation was extremely critical. Xu Zhen was now at a fork in the road - whether to retreat and preserve his life or go all out. In the end, he made up his mind!
Go all in!
Xu Zhen mobilized all his remaining true energy and suddenly charged towards the wall.
If it doesn't work out, then die trying!
This is the last hope. It's also Xu Zhen's desperate attempt to break through Ren Du Er Mai, if he can't, then this almost liquid-like true energy will flow into other meridians. And the meridians that haven't been tempered by the pre-heavenly energy are far from being able to withstand these true energies. There is only one outcome: the meridians will be severed and he will die.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three consecutive blows, a superordinary severe pain came, Xu Zhen could no longer hold on. Normally, people would faint from extreme pain to protect themselves. But this severe pain made him wake up again from his coma.
"I never thought that I, Xu Zhen, would come to this world with the ultimate secret technique. And yet, without achieving even a single one of my ideals, I'm going to be buried in the space-time of this alien world? I refuse, I refuse!"
In the last blow, Xu Zhen fainted again. Before falling down, he seemed to feel that something was different, but this time's severe pain made him unable to carefully feel what was different. Finally, a night of impact made him fall into the woodshed...
