Chapter 5: Transformation

Is it really that easy? I thought I would have to go through some life-and-death experience. Zihao shook his head and then began to contemplate in his mind, Next, I will practice the Reverse Divine Martial Arts. Previously, this guy should have practiced the martial arts of the Heavenly Gate, which means he will have to start over. Although it is a bit troublesome, if he does not practice the Reverse Divine Martial Arts, he probably won't be able to take on the new novice task of the second level.

"Hey, you still haven't told me what level of martial arts technique the Reverse Divine Martial Art is?" Zi Hao asked while catching the Cleansing Essence Pill, as he was not planning to be easily deceived.

Although it is unclear what level of martial arts technique the Reverse Divine Martial Art is, one can tell from the posture of its practice that it is certainly not an ordinary martial art technique, as the Reverse Divine Martial Art actually requires practitioners to cultivate in a very peculiar inverted position.

Certainly, for a martial artist, the most important qualification is martial speed. The faster the martial speed, the stronger the effect of cultivating martial energy. However, for every human, this martial speed qualification is determined at birth. Therefore, for a martial artist to reach a higher realm, they must possess a high martial speed qualification. Although martial speed can be cultivated later, it is very difficult to improve martial speed in the later stages unless one is a martial artist with a high qualification. However, for every human, this martial speed qualification is determined at birth. Therefore, for a martial artist to reach a higher realm, they must possess a high martial speed qualification. Although martial speed can be cultivated later, it is very difficult to improve martial speed in the later stages unless one is a martial artist with a high qualification.

However, if a martial artist trained through physical cultivation is compared to one trained through meditation at the same level, the former is significantly stronger, potentially even surpassing two or three levels. Of course, this strength comes at the cost of great life-threatening risks, presenting both advantages and disadvantages

Subsequently, Zihao began to cultivate by the shimmering clear pool at the edge of the Peach Garden, following the reverse divine martial arts technique of Ali that manifested in his mind

Thereafter, Zihao began to cultivate martial energy according to the cultivation techniques of the Ascending God Martial Art during the Foundation Establishment period. Gradually, he stood like a stone pillar between heaven and earth, merging with all things in the universe.

At that moment, a gentle morning breeze swept by, and the surface of the clear pond instantly rippled slightly. Almost simultaneously, a thin layer of purple aura suddenly appeared around Zihau's body, faint and elusive; if one were to glance casually, it would be impossible to detect the existence of this purple aura.

The importance of martial speed to martial artists is particularly significant because martial artists are ultimately human, and humans have a finite lifespan. For instance, if one martial artist has a martial speed of 1 and another has a martial speed of 2, the martial artist with double the speed only needs half the time to achieve the strength of the martial artist with a speed of 1. This illustrates the disparity!

Slowly, that layer of purple aura began to spread outward like ripples on the surface of water, still quite faint, yet possessing a distinct sense of layering

If at this moment the leader or the person in charge of the Heavenly Gate were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly be taken aback, for such astonishing cycling speed is a true manifestation of Zihau's double martial speed aptitude!

Typically, an ordinary human will first undergo a period of foundational training before becoming a martial artist. This foundational training is specifically designed for cultivating martial energy through basic martial techniques, and martial energy is one of the fundamental prerequisites for becoming a martial artist. If a human is unable to cultivate martial energy, they will not be able to become a martial artist.

The second level of the novice task requires you to cultivate the Reverse Divine Martial Art and reach the second stage of the Foundation Establishment period before you can claim it. You can now choose to exit the treasure hunting system and return to the real world, or continue your cultivation in the second world. After Dreamer finished the prompt, she disappeared.

At this moment, the posture that Zihao was using for cultivation was the most common inverted position in body cultivation. As the level of body cultivation increased, the postures used for cultivation would become increasingly difficult. To describe it vividly, it was a perfect example of self-torture, far more piercing and intense than any act of cutting wrists or stabbing flesh.

After a long time, the layer of purple aura that had originally floated around Zihou's body suddenly seeped into his body, transforming into dots resembling stars, which began to move within Zihou's originally empty meridians. Although weak, under the aggregation of these purple star-like points, a small stream of purple gas was ultimately formed.

The washing marrow pill melted in his mouth, and moments later, Zi Hao felt as if his entire body had been enlightened, feeling completely at ease and invigorated. The meridians within him, which had originally been damaged, began to continuously undergo self-repair... a complete transformation...

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I'll focus on my cultivation first. This guy has been a useless person for three years, not even reaching the first stage of foundation building, and he gets bullied every day. If it were me, I would have already crashed my head against a wall. By the way, I also need to repair my double martial speed first..." As Zihao spoke, he tossed the cleansing marrow pill into his mouth.

"What the heck, it's not like I'm practicing yoga, do I really need to be this professional?" Zihao muttered, but still obediently leaned against a large rock, turning his whole body upside down.

However, the martial energy cultivated from ordinary martial arts techniques during the Foundation Establishment stage is typically blue. This martial energy gradually changes in color as the level increases. In contrast, the martial energy currently possessed by Zihai is purple, which is due to the fact that the martial arts technique he practices is different from ordinary ones

Subsequently, this small stream of purple gas began to flow slowly along Zihou's meridians, and then gradually accelerated, circulating at an astonishing speed within specific meridians

In addition, becoming a martial artist requires certain physical qualifications, and the importance of these physical qualifications is crucial in determining whether one can become a qualified martial artist

The cultivation techniques of martial artists typically emphasize internal refinement and external practice, also known as meditation practice. This is the most common method of cultivation in the Divine Mysterious Continent. Meditation practice involves sitting in stillness and circulating martial energy within the body according to the martial techniques, using this energy to stimulate and invigorate the meridians and muscles, thereby expanding the meridians and strengthening the muscles, ultimately enhancing one's strength and aptitude

"Meng'er..." Zihao called out several times, but seeing that Meng'er showed no response, he ultimately had to give up. However, why did Meng'er not inform him of the exact level of the Reverse Divine Martial Art? This is indeed puzzling! Could it be that it is too inferior to mention, or is there another reason?

However, the cultivation methods recorded in the "Extinguishing Qi" are vastly different, as they focus on refining one's energy through the body, which involves challenging the limits of the physical form, and is also referred to as body cultivation. Yet, body cultivation has nearly become extinct in the Divine Mysterious Continent, primarily because it is exceedingly arduous, especially in the later stages, which are almost unbearable for ordinary individuals, leading to its gradual abandonment

Half an hour later

And this purple aura is the martial energy cultivated by the martial artist

The damaged meridians have been repaired, and you have now regained double your martial speed. At this moment, Meng'er once again provided a formal notification.
