Chapter 226: Sword energy rushes into the stars, and literary light shoots the rainbow!
After coming down from the platform on the top of the mountain, I returned to the temporary base, took a few tubes of human nutritional supplements to satisfy my hunger, and drank some pure water brought back from the lake.
Just after drinking this glass of water, Chen Jue felt an extremely cool and refreshing feeling in his mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach, and a sweet feeling lingered in his mouth.
It is as if what you are drinking is not water, but a mountain spring with some panacea added to it, it tastes clear, sweet and extremely enjoyable!
"Damn! If this water is shipped to Earth and sold, 90H2O, Modigliani, and the Golden Angel will all be hung up and beaten!" Chen Jue drank the water in the cup, and then used [Inner Vision] to observe the tissue cells that had been infiltrated by the water.
I found that under the stimulation of the lake water on this strange planet, they became rounder, more transparent and stronger, just like potted plants that had been dry for many days and were watered with nutrient solution and began to revive.
According to Chen Jue's speculation, this lake water should have been affected by the life minerals at the bottom of the lake for a long time, and it has its own innate qi, so that the stomach, intestines and cells can absorb it particularly smoothly.
Chen Jue grabbed two large pieces of life ore and sat down cross-legged.
Thinking about the plan to face the strange creatures on this alien planet tomorrow, he felt that his first priority was to improve his life-saving skills.
In this special environment where the innate qi is everywhere, those creatures that resemble those in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are definitely not comparable to the wild animals on Earth.
With the idea of saving his life first, Chen Jue practiced the "Dragon Slaying" chapter in the "Wangqi Zhanlong Sutra". The "Wangqi" chapter has enabled him to master the [Xuanmen Wangqi Technique] which can predict good and bad luck.
This chapter of "Slaying the Dragon" is full of the application and control of Feng Shui terrain and magnetic field, I think Chen Jue will not be disappointed.
He used both hands to grind the two pieces of life minerals into powder and sprinkled it on his body. After the stimulation of [Small and Large Circulation], Chen Jue knew that this kind of Taoist skills was extremely difficult to practice and required a lot of energy, so he used this folk method to enhance the concentration of the innate Qi around his body.
The Qi and blood are transported according to the practice route in the "Dragon Slaying" chapter, extending from the large circulation throughout the body. This practice is different from the comprehensive [Small and Large Circulation] and the [Xuanmen Qigong] which targets the eyes and brain. It is a practice specifically for the fingers.
Chen Jue's right thumb was seen pressing on the ring finger and little finger, forming an inward-curling circle in his palm, and then the index finger and middle finger were put together and erected. This is the so-called sword finger in boxing martial arts, and it is also the sword technique of Taoist masters!
According to mythology, there are two Taoist and Confucian sages who slew dragons. One of them is Wei Zheng, a famous official of the Tang Dynasty who picked up a sword and slew the Dragon King of Jinghe River in his dream in "Journey to the West".
The second is Xu Xun, one of the four great Taoist celestial masters and the founder of the Jingming School of Taoism. He is the protagonist of "one person attains enlightenment, and his family and friends ascend to heaven". He also once carried the magical sword to kill the evil dragon that was causing trouble in Poyang Lake.
Kill the dragon, kill the dragon, you need to use sword to kill the dragon!
Since Liu Bowen combined Taoism and Confucianism in one person, his work "Slaying the Dragon" naturally uses the sword as an entry point for spiritual practice.
After transporting the Qi and blood along specific meridians, Chen Jue could clearly feel an inexplicable fluctuation in the sword finger of his right hand. Observing it from an [internal vision] perspective, he found that the nerve network extending from the right arm to the right hand, including the median nerve, radial nerve, and ulnar nerve were all accelerating the transmission of nerve signals. A series of nerve impulses gathered into a wave of weak electric current and began to converge towards the tip of the sword finger.
The tissue cells that make up the index finger and middle finger continued to absorb the innate Qi that penetrated into the hand. It took nearly half an hour, and soon the skill engraving of [Dragon Slaying Sword Lv0 (1/100)] popped up on the attribute panel.
"Is it so difficult to cultivate in such a dense innate Qi environment?"
“Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique… the sword immortal’s technique… since it’s a Taoist sword technique, it should be enhanced by [Lü Zu’s Enlightenment]. Legend has it that Lü Zu also earned the title of sword immortal with the Sky-Escape Sword Technique taught by Fire Dragon Immortal. I never thought that since I mastered the Boat Fist and Eight Immortals Posture, I would be able to experience the mystery of the sword immortal’s technique one day.” Chen Jue looked at the new skills that appeared on the panel, feeling deeply moved.
He grabbed two more pieces of life ore, ground them into powder, and without saying a word, he mobilized 0.1 free attribute points to add to it, directly upgrading this [Dragon Slaying Sword Technique] to Lv1.
A powerful siphon effect erupted from the sword finger of Chen Jue's right hand. The life mineral dust scattered all around was actually affected by the invisible magnetic field spreading from the sword finger. They began to float up and rotated at high speed around the fingertips of Chen Jue's right hand.
In addition, the rock wall of the stronghold space excavated by Chen Jue also burst out with dazzling golden light at this moment. The whole space was shining with golden light, reflecting each other, as if a god had been born.
The innate Qi in the state of countless particles condensed towards the middle finger and ring finger of Chen Jue's right hand and was absorbed by those cell tissues. Chen Jue observed the changes in the sword finger through the [Inner Vision] enhanced by [Tongyoudongwei].
He discovered that the weak nerve currents that kept converging on his fingertips were now compressed into a high-voltage electric field, and his middle finger and ring finger actually showed signs of becoming metallized!
As the siphon effect reached its peak, Chen Jue subconsciously raised his hand and pointed at the rock wall five meters away.
With a "pop" sound, an arc of electricity burst out from the tip of Chen Jue's sword finger, and along with this arc of electricity, a large amount of innate Qi that was almost solidified and accumulated in the cells of the finger was also ejected!
“Bang!”
The mixed gold and blue beams shot out from his fingers, directly creating a bowl-sized hole in the rock wall in the distance! A cloud of gravel and dust was stirred up!
"This technique can actually train one to the point where the sword energy can leave the body?"
"Use nerve current to activate the magnetic field, and then drive the energy of the innate Qi, compress it into sword energy and emit it from the body. While stimulating it, it can also activate the innate Qi in the surrounding space. The whole process corresponds to the cultivation theory I compiled before!"
Chen Jue was stunned by this scene. He lowered his head to observe his fingers and found that except for a burnt smell at his fingertips, there was no discomfort at all.
As for the burnt smell, it is obviously caused by weak electricity gathering into strong ionized bodies that penetrate the skin of the fingertips. The principle is actually very simple, and it is somewhat similar to the static electricity that bounces off when we lift our woolen clothes in winter, accompanied by a burnt smell.
In addition, after this [Dragon Slaying Sword Technique] was upgraded to level 1, a new active state was awakened:
【Sword Qi】: Sword Qi strikes the stars, and literary light shoots the sun and rainbow.
Status level: Level 9
Status Effect: This status can accumulate sword energy in the human sword finger. The longer the accumulation time, the stronger the sword energy power. (Note: This effect can be enhanced as the level of [Dragon Slaying Sword Technique] increases.)
After seeing this newly awakened state, Chen Jue remained silent for a long time, feeling that his practice had finally taken a big step forward on the basis of his extraordinary physical body.
"Extraordinary level, extraordinary, extraordinary. At this stage of practice, one should indeed extend unique extraordinary powers." Chen Jue glanced at the hole in the stone wall that was pierced by the sword energy.
According to his eyesight, the hole was at least ten meters deep. In addition, at the deepest end, there were densely packed needle holes that looked like those left by dark energy needles.
With such penetrating power, if a sword energy hits a flesh and blood body, I am afraid that just one sword energy can pierce through the flesh.
"When Liu Bowen first created the Dragon Slaying Sword Technique, his original intention was probably to drain the meteorite energy in the dragon vein geomagnetic field. I didn't expect that it could actually penetrate the body and stimulate energy when used in the special environment of this strange planet."
"It's true that those who planted the trees will enjoy the shade! It's all good for me, a descendant from the same county." Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh.
After taking a look at the abundant free attributes on the attribute panel, Chen Jue was still not satisfied, and clicked several times, consuming 0.7 free attribute points and upgrading [Dragon Slaying Sword Technique] to Lv3 in one go.
The innate Qi around him began to gather towards Chen Jue in large quantities, and began to accumulate at the position of his right arm.
After dealing with the siphon effect of this breakthrough, Chen Jue discovered that more than 12 hours had passed without him noticing!
"It's true that time seems to pass by so quickly while practicing in the cave. But that's okay. It must be dark outside by now." Chen Jue lamented the passing of time. He stood up and grabbed two tubes of human nutrients.
While eating, I left this temporary base and looked outside. It was indeed night outside.
Just looking up, Chen Jue was dumbfounded. Although the night sky of this strange planet was full of stars, it was also accompanied by satellites like the moon.
But the twelve "moons" shining side by side above his head made Chen Jue open his mouth involuntarily.
"Emperor Jun's wife Chang Xi was born at the age of twelve."
"It's really the Classic of Mountains and Seas reflected in reality. There are twelve moons, and there is only one star similar to the sun during the day. Could it be that the remaining nine suns were really shot down by Houyi?" Chen Jue felt a little confused. He observed the positions of the stars again and found that the twelve zodiac constellations and the Big Dipper were gone in the starry sky, which was equivalent to a star layout that was completely unfamiliar to the one observed on Earth.
Judging from this, the location of this strange planet is estimated to be very far away from the solar system, and it is even possible that it is no longer in the Milky Way.
"Forget it! Don't think too much about it. Let me test the sword energy effect added by the level 3 [Dragon Slaying Sword Technique] first, so that I can be prepared in advance when daybreak." Chen Jue looked up at the sky of this strange planet for a long time.
I happened to have learned the [Sword Qi], so I wanted to try out the specific striking power of this sword energy. Under the reflection of the moonlight, in the dark night, I put my fingers together and made a gesture. A golden sword light came out from my fingers, cutting through the night sky for nearly three hundred meters before barely dissipating.
Although the striking distance is not as good as the javelin thrown by Chen Jue's physical body, it has strong penetration and can have an unexpected instant effect, which can be regarded as adding a long-range attack method for Chen Jue.
The only thing lacking is that after the first sword energy is launched, it is necessary to accumulate innate Qi in the body, otherwise the power of the second one will be greatly reduced.
"I'll go out and have some fun when daybreak comes!" Chen decided. After testing the powerful sword energy he had just learned, he took a note of the starry sky above his head and the conditions of the 12 moons, then returned to the base to rest for more than 10 hours.
When the moon set and the sun rose, and the sky outside the stronghold became bright, Chen Jue packed his luggage, went down the tree-stump-like mountain, and headed straight for the forest a hundred kilometers away.
