Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 484 - 298: Immaculate Body_2

Why can’t martial artists step into the Marrow Cleansing Realm before the age of fifty, and if they can’t, they never will, even if they were as powerful as Hua Yunsheng, the number one on the Wind Cloud List, who mastered the Five Elements Domain and whose Martial Arts will was incredibly strong? The reason lies in the loss of vital essence and energy from the body before achieving an ’Immaculate Body.’

Even if it is possible to somewhat compensate by strengthening the inner world through the refinement of the Five Viscera and Six Viscera, the loss is ultimately still a loss.

Those experts in the Six Viscera Realm who are in their sixties or seventies might still look as young as those in their thirties like Meng Danyun, and their Yuan Gang power might not appear significantly diminished. Yet essentially, their vital essence has significantly diverged, no longer vigorous, turning sluggish from active, which isn’t apparent from the surface but represents an internal deficit.

It is like ordinary people without martial arts skills. Some might be naturally strong and, even in their seventies, rival men in their twenties or thirties in strength. But once they suffer a fall, injury, or illness, they might never get up again.

This represents the internal damage to the essence.

However, the Body Tempering Technique of Martial Arts, step by step, from external to internal, after refining the Five Viscera and Six Viscera, greatly strengthens one’s Qi-Blood and foundation. It also allows for long periods without the need for food or water, significantly reducing the loss of essence.

The final step into Marrow Cleansing further eliminates impurities within the body, cultivating the Martial Body, Marrow Cleansing, subduing the White Tiger, sealing all channels that connect the body with the external world, leaving only the Mysterious Pass intact. At this point, the Immaculate Martial Body is achieved.

Once the Immaculate Martial Body is accomplished.

A Grandmaster can easily live past the age of one hundred fifty, and prior to the natural ending of their life, they won’t experience decay.

This is exactly why there is such a stark distinction between Grandmasters and practitioners of the Viscera Realm. Although many masters on the Wind Cloud List may compare to some newly ascended, weaker Grandmasters, in terms of actual status, they are still not on the same level.

After all, even the weakest Grandmaster had broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm before fifty. By the age of one hundred, they could all cultivate to Perfection, establishing their own Martial Arts Domain like Fu Jingyuan and Feng Hongsheng, without ever weakening with age.

Perhaps.

The top three on the Wind Cloud List, such as Xia Yu’r and Hua Yunsheng, almost rival people like Fu Jingyuan in strength, but their prime doesn’t last as long. They reach that level at an older age, especially Hua Yunsheng, who is nearly a hundred this year and doesn’t have much time remaining at his peak, inevitably weakening gradually.

Like many in the Five Viscera and Six Viscera Realm, why do they, after losing hope of further advancement, retreat to less significant places to expand their clans and tirelessly build up their legacy? Most do so to ensure comfort in their declining years.

But Grandmasters don’t need to.

They can dominate throughout their lives until the moment they pass away naturally, only then starting to decline.

"I have yet to break through the Mysterious Pass and cultivate an Immaculate Body. Already my lifespan rivals those in the Blood Exchange Realm, but once I reach the Marrow Cleansing Realm and lock my essence from escaping, just how many years might I be able to live?"

Chen Mu looked up, seeing only the bare rock wall, yet his gaze seemed to pierce through the mountains and reach the sky.

Although he was only in his thirties, having lived two lives, he could not accept the Evil Methods of the Sky Demon Sect, which involved transforming into demonic beings to extend one’s life. Yet who wouldn’t want to live longer?

Besides.

Even a millennium-old demon will turn to dust; a thousand-year dynasty will too return to the earth.

If he were to cultivate Martial Arts to the very end, truly reaching ’Immortality,’ then he would need no external aids and would march forward with sword in hand, proudly traversing this supreme path of Martial Arts!

"Huh."

Chen Mu slowly steadied his breathing.

In the sealed cave, what he breathed in and out wasn’t merely air, but the Heaven and Earth’s Yuan Qi.

He wasn’t in a rush, slowly adjusting his state, calming his mindset, just as cultivating the Jade Bone faces no obstacles in impacting the Five Viscera; similarly, cultivating an Immaculate Body should make reaching Marrow Cleansing a breeze, although many can cultivate the Jade Bone, the Immaculate Body isn’t found in any texts, existing only as a hypothetical Realm.

Yet, Chen Mu had turned this hypothesis into reality.

Thus, Chen Mu meditated, regulating his breath until his Qi-Blood throughout his body was soothed, his internal Yuan Gang intricately intertwining, his spirit seemingly becoming one with his body. At that moment, his vision suddenly emptied, feeling as though he leapt into another world.

In his sight, between the heaven and earth, it was dim with only a sloping staircase ascending, appearing before his eyes. At the end of the staircase was a cluster of mysterious light, indescribable in words.

It seemed like a door, yet like a checkpoint, or perhaps even the very point where the world itself condensed.

Break through it.

It was a different world.

"This is the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pass..."

Chen Mu gazed up at the speck of mysterious light at the top of the stairs. Without needing to think, clarity naturally emerged in his heart.

The so-called Mysterious Pass exists both physically and spiritually, it is the point of intersection between body, mind, and the ’external world,’ mysterious beyond the mysterious, and what he saw before him was the ’Heart Gate’ within the Mysterious Pass.

To completely break through the Mysterious Pass, one needed to break the ’Heart Gate,’ ’Body Gate,’ and ’Heaven and Earth Gate’ simultaneously. It made no difference where one started, only a swift, decisive action to break all three gates would eventually make one a Grandmaster.

Chen Mu had thought he would start with the Body Gate, but simply by adjusting his mindset, he had first seen the Heart Gate.

"Starting from the Heart Gate, that works too."

Chen Mu’s mind was calm; at this point, there was naturally no hint of hesitation or self-doubt. He stepped onto the staircase and began ascending, step by step, toward the mysterious light at the end.

This staircase, seemingly just steps, was in fact built from all the Martial Arts he had cultivated thus far.

Step, step, step,

With each step he climbed, Chen Mu saw countless images from his memory. These were his rigorous Skin Toughening, his exhausting Body Refinement, his training in the Tiger Demon Bone Tempering Fist, and his practice of the Golden Jade Skin Toughening Technique.

With every step he took, it seemed as if a voice was asking in his heart.

Any regrets?

Anything lacking?

Any remorse?

These phrases seemed like Martial Arts questioning him, and also like introspections coming from deep within himself. Chen Mu’s responses were clear and affirmative.

No regrets, nothing lacking, no remorse!

These interrogations could not influence his will even slightly nor hinder his steps. They couldn’t even make him pause momentarily. His stride was constant, steady, and ascending.

From Skin Toughening to Body Refinement, Tendon Changing, Bone Tempering, Viscera Refining, Organ Tempering... with every step he had given his all, enduring hardship and toil, one step, one footprint at a time, pushing to the limit. Naturally, he had no doubts about his own Martial Arts.

Step, step, step,

Thus, Chen Mu ascended step by step, finally arriving at the end, looking toward that cluster of mysterious light, which seemed to transform into a gateway.

This gate consisted of eight kinds of color lights, each color and aura profoundly familiar to him. These represented the Qiankun Eight Phases he had practiced, the artistic abilities he had mastered.

It was as if a voice from the gate was telling him, the Mysterious Pass is irrevocable. Once crossed, it can never be changed again.

Even though Martial Artists like Chu Jingsui could continue to fully practice the ’Qiankun Artistic Conception’ even after breaking through to Grandmaster level, they could never cultivate a ’Qiankun Martial Body’ anymore.

Because the artistic conception under which one breaks through the Mysterious Pass sets the foundation, which afterward cannot be changed. As they say, the Mysterious Pass is irrevocable. The moment one steps through, everything afterwards is destined.

Step,

Chen Mu, before this Mysterious Pass, did not pause at all. With one step, he crossed into it.

Qiankun was already the strongest Martial Arts of his era. Walking this path, he naturally had no doubts about his own Martial Arts. Moreover, his Martial Arts will had long since reached a level comparable to a Grandmaster. This Heart Gate presented no difficulty for him at all.

Having crossed the Heart Gate, Chen Mu’s consciousness returned to his body in an instant. He sensed his Yuan Gang Inner Breath surging vigorously, climbing step by step along his spine, reaching the crown of his head, the edge of the Mysterious Pass lingering there.

This was the Body Gate.

Chen Mu’s heart was almost devoid of ripples. He thus manipulated the Yuan Gang Inner Breath, concentrating it to a point, then surged upward. A sound like ice cracking rang in his ears. The physical barrier was as if made of paper, easily shattered with a burst!
