Chapter 241 Wonderful Bronze Sound, Zhou Tian Xingchen
Chen Jue had not expected that this bronze mask had such miraculous effects, especially the dark patterns on the inside, which could use the airflow from the mouth and nose to form a bronze sound of a special frequency.
This kind of bronze sound is extremely faint and almost inaudible to ordinary people. It is just like the silver coins of the old days. The sound can only be heard by blowing on them and placing them next to your ears.
That is the vibration produced by the friction between air and metal . Among the many musical instruments made of metal, the sound produced by copper instruments is the most wonderful.
The morning bells and evening drums are thought-provoking. The bells here are generally made of copper, such as the copper bells used in temples, and the bronze chimes used in ancient sacrifices or banquets. Just listening to them can invigorate the mind.
Before, when he was on Earth, Chen Jue had realized the resonance of sound waves with the help of the fusion of Humming and Tantric Mahamudra. He used sound waves to induce emotional changes in the cerebral cortex, thereby causing projection fluctuations in the mind's magnetic field.
Unexpectedly, this small bronze mask could play a similar role. This surprised Chen Jue.
Moreover, the bronze sound emitted by the bronze mask not only caused fluctuations in the nearby Qi flow, but also caused the golden crystals in the acupoints in Chen Jue's body to react.
Along with the transportation of Qi and blood, a large amount of Qi began to gather towards Chen Jue's eyes and ears, accelerating the transformation and evolution of the eye and ear tissues.
Although the speed of transformation and evolution cannot be compared with the simple and crude addition of points on the attribute panel, Chen Jue can observe the transformation of this local area through [Inner Vision], which also gives him a new idea for the practice of [Supernormal Level].
In addition, Chen Jue discovered that there was a small amount of weak Qi flow that was transported to the pituitary gland in the brain.
The pituitary gland is the most important endocrine gland in the human body, which can secrete a variety of hormones. These hormones play an extremely important role in promoting human metabolism, growth, and development.
Just like the well-known gigantism, it is caused by the failure of the epiphysis to close and the excessive secretion of growth hormone.
"I remember the bronze mask unearthed from Sanxingdui on Earth was not this small!"
"Could it be that the ancient Shu people who wore it at the time were stimulated by the Qi and suffered from gigantism?" Chen Jue's thoughts raced, and he felt that the bronze mask was hiding a great secret.
…
After wearing the mask and practicing for more than half an hour, Chen Jue took off the mask that was attached to his face.
The visual ability of both eyes and the hearing ability of both ears have been greatly improved in the practice just now. In addition, the pituitary gland is stimulated, and the secretion of hormones in the body has increased slightly.
However, what interested Chen Jue the most was the empty space between the eyebrows of the bronze panel.
"If I'm not mistaken, the position corresponding to the third eye on the forehead should be where the colorful spiritual crystal should be placed."
"It can stimulate the synchronous transformation and evolution of the body and the mind. This mask can be said to be a rare treasure!" Chen Jue felt the texture of the bronze mask.
Seeing the little parrot sleeping soundly next to him, it was obviously affected by the movement of his practice just now, and passively absorbed a lot of Qi, and also entered a period of accelerated development and growth.
"When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit! You are also a lucky and blessed little guy." Seeing this, Chen Jue smiled slightly, put out the campfire, and walked back to the stronghold on the mountain with the little parrot in his arms.
It was already night, and twelve moons were hanging high in the sky, casting a pale and bright light on the forest.
It took more than ten minutes to return to the base. Chen Jue placed the sleeping parrot on the inflatable mattress, and he picked up some life ore, crushed it, and scattered it all over the base. Then he sat down cross-legged, put on the bronze mask again, and began to meditate and practice.
In terms of the concentration of Qi, the highest concentration is found only in the mountain within the forbidden area. Although there are life-giving minerals under the lake, they cannot compare with that of an entire mountain.
After seeing the powerful mythical beasts such as Kuiniu and Phoenix that only existed in legends, and learning from the Phoenix that there were several creatures on this strange planet that were even more powerful than it, Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh at the wonderful creatures on this strange planet, and occasionally felt that he, a human being, was too insignificant here alone.
Considering that he would have to look for the colorful crystals that could enhance his soul later on, the area Chen Jue needed to explore would become larger and larger, and he might encounter powerful beasts. Chen Jue had a sense of urgency and crisis about improving his own strength.
After sitting cross-legged, Chen Jue first used the assistance of the bronze mask to speed up the mobilization and intake of Qi, and coordinated the transportation of Qi and blood in the [Small and Large Circulation] to assist in practicing the [Red Dust Golden Body Skill] for several hours, increasing the proficiency of this already level 8 horizontal hard skill by more than 9,000 points, and incidentally, he also unknowingly gained 0.42 free attribute points.
I stood up and stretched my muscles, then took a walk out of the base and found that it was still a dark night with the moon in the sky.
The day and night cycle on this strange planet is 48 hours. After staying here for a long time, one can clearly feel the changes in the body's biological clock. Even facing the darkness, Chen Jue feels that the night has become extremely long.
Fortunately, Chen Jue was able to endure the loneliness. After looking at the stars in the sky outside the cave, Chen Jue returned to the base again and continued to practice.
However, this time, he did not practice the [Red Dust Golden Body Technique] step by step, but instead called up the skill fusion page of the attribute panel.
"Since the Phoenix Bird can cultivate its spiritual power to the point where it can interfere with real matter, I guess those guys who are equal to it won't be that simple either."
"Even it admitted that it couldn't beat that guy with thorns... Ordinary martial arts shouldn't be of much use against these peak extraordinary creatures."
"It's time to update and strengthen my skills!" Chen decided to calculate, glanced at the densely packed skill bar, and then glanced at the free attribute .
After thinking about it, he dragged three skill blocks that matched the environment of this strange planet and threw them into the colorful vortex.
"bite!"
"【Big and Small Circulation (Perfect)】＋【Dragon Slaying Sword Technique Lv3】＋【Seven Star Life Extension Technique (Perfect)】=?"
"Tip: This fusion will consume 1.20 free attribute points. Do you want to perform the fusion?"
After taking a look at the painful consumption, and remembering the extremely high efficiency of brushing attributes, Chen Jue simply gritted his teeth and pressed the fusion button.
"I hope a more advanced technique can be developed!" Chen thought in his determination.
Along with the rotation of the colorful vortex, three Taoist mystical skills and secret techniques began to be thrown into it and crushed, turning into particles. Finally, they were merged and reorganized in Chen Jue's sight. With a "ding" sound, a new skill block [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Art] popped up again.
The next moment, an unfamiliar content of the martial arts technique and the muscle memory of the practice route were transmitted into Chen Jue's mind and body. At this moment, his body even emitted a faint tremor.
Through [Inner Vision] Chen Jue discovered that the golden crystals in all the orifices began to emit a rich golden Qi flow. At this moment, in conjunction with the circulation of Qi and blood, a special Qi circuit began to form, stimulating the body to enter a new stage of transformation.
The free Qi flow in the stronghold was attracted violently and continuously injected into the acupuncture points all over Chen Jue's body, turning into a torrent of true Qi that drove the new skills to run.
As the route of Zhou Tian Gong continued to accelerate, Chen Jue felt a faint tingling sensation in his meridians! The seemingly peaceful true qi actually brought a hint of sharpness at this moment!
You know, after Chen Jue's body has undergone a series of transformations and strengthening, it has become as tough as iron. The inner walls of the blood vessels in his body have also become very tough. Ordinary blood fluctuations cannot cause any internal damage to him.
However, this newly fused technique combines the characteristics of [Small and Large Circulations] in transporting qi and blood to stimulate the flow of qi, as well as the method of [Dragon Slaying Sword Technique] of gathering qi into sword fingers to stimulate separation from the body, and finally incorporates the method of [Seven Star Life-Sustaining Technique] in condensing qi to refine acupoints.
It was like using the acupuncture points that had been successfully opened in Chen Jue's body as the fingers of "piercing stone like rot" to practice. The crystals in each acupuncture point began to condense the true qi and transform the true qi into golden sword energy. The sword energy began to shuttle through the blood vessels and meridians, which made him feel a tingling pain like a needle.
It was as if countless sharp swords were cutting inside Chen Jue's body, and the nourishing effect of the true Qi was speeding up the repair of those tiny wounds, thereby enhancing the strength of the acupoints and the inner walls of blood vessels.
"It's really painful and happy!" Chen Jue felt that his body was getting stronger and stronger. The green value of +0.01 kept floating on the attribute panel, especially the column of physical fitness.
When the stinging sensation disappeared and his body had completely adapted to the new technique, Chen Jue found that his whole body felt like it had been soaked in a sauna, and the hot sweat on his body was now emitting white smoke.
The body temperature reached 73℃, which was even more terrifying than the heat loss caused by intense flight. I subconsciously glanced at the description of the new skill:
[Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Skill Lv5 (12/5000)]: A true Qi type skill that integrates cultivation, training, and attack. Practicing this function greatly enhances the body's killing and destructive abilities.
"The body is a furnace, and the acupoints are used as the scabbard to nourish the sword energy. When it is time to fight, the sword energy will leave the body and spread freely."
"This is already the technique that a Taoist sword immortal should practice!" After reading the description of this new skill, Chen Jue couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Compared to those fist-to-flesh martial arts, this new technique has a more transcendental charm and is not something that ordinary people can practice.
Especially those sharp sword energies flowing through the body, no ordinary person's body can withstand it, and they might explode out of their bodies if one of them is accumulated.
Only someone like Chen Jue who has practiced the [Red Dust Golden Body Technique] and has super high physical attributes can withstand it.
…
Standing up and walking out of the stronghold, Chen Jue gazed at the red glow of the rising sun in the east. The practice of this sword-cultivation technique allowed him to get through the long dark night without realizing it.
He quickly walked down the mountain and came to the lake. Chen Jue took off his combat uniform and jumped into the cold lake water to wash off the sweat on his body.
After swimming to the center of the lake, Chen Jue suddenly wanted to try out the power of the [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Technique], so he mobilized the sword energy in the acupoints throughout his body and began to condense it outside the skin one inch away from the body.
It was just like the new sword energy that he had practiced with sword fingers before, except that this time it was fired from the fingertips and hundreds of acupoints were fired at the same time.
With a "bo!" sound, countless golden sword qi burst out of the body, creating a vacuum area of half a meter wide outside Chen Jue who was soaking in the water.
Countless golden sword lights penetrated and shot through the lake, leaving sword shadows in the water, and then turned the dark golden rocks at the bottom of the lake into a sieve shape!
As the water filled back up, Chen Jue used his enhanced eyesight to take a look at the lake bottom that was full of holes and felt that his night of training was not in vain.
"If one sword energy is not enough, then use a hundred, or ten thousand!"
"Tsk tsk... This effect, no matter how you look at it, looks like a shrapnel bomb loaded with steel arrows exploding..." Chen Jue took a look at the damage he had caused, and felt that the power of this [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Art] was not just that.
"If a group attack has such a strong power... then what if it's a single attack..." Chen Jue climbed onto the shore. He felt a little playful after what he had just done in the lake. He used [Inner Vision] to observe the storage of true Qi in the acupoints and found that there was still a lot left.
He used his internal energy to condense most of his true energy on his fingers. With a "hum" sound, a golden energy sword appeared on Chen Jue's sword finger, condensed but not released, like a lightsaber in Star Wars.
“This is a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change!”
"It's much more advanced than simply stimulating sword energy!" Chen Jue stared at the long sword of energy and recalled the spiritual rainbow light stimulated by the phoenix. The principles of their formation are extremely similar.
However, the phoenix's spiritual rainbow light affects the mind and has a wide range of uses. The energy sword stimulated by Chen Jue's fingertips is more inclined to attack.
With the sword finger raised high, Chen Jue used all his strength to activate the energy sword, which eventually extended from the initial two meters to forty meters. When the true Qi in his body was about to dry up, Chen Jue swung the sword finger and chopped it down fiercely.
With a "whoosh" sound, the golden energy sword slashed downwards fiercely, and the originally calm lake surface was split into two halves. The water body cut by the sword light instantly evaporated and vaporized, raising white smoke, and even the rocks at the bottom of the lake were split into a long gully.
Seeing this powerful scene, Chen Jue grinned with satisfaction, feeling a little more at ease, and muttered, "Finally, I have some power to protect myself!"
…
After taking a bath, Chen Jue woke up the parrot, and the man and the bird went hunting for a few marlins again.
However, this time, Chen Jue got the prey faster because he did not use the retractable javelin, but instead used instantaneous sword energy.
The newly integrated [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Art] is a hundred times more effective than the [Dragon Slaying Sword Art] in condensing and accumulating true Qi. Only then did Chen Jue have the confidence to squander his sword energy at will.
In addition, taking the opportunity to hunt mullets, Chen Jue is also constantly deepening his experience in putting sword energy into actual combat. Compared to the previous time when he could only stimulate sword energy once or twice a day, now Chen Jue truly has the demeanor of a Taoist swordsman.
Of course, during the fishing process, Chen Jue also let the parrot join in.
After growing overnight, the little guy has become a lot bigger. He is more than twice as big as the Andean condor, the largest bird of prey on earth.
With a dive at an astonishing speed, the sharp claws can easily grab the silver carp out of the water.
"As expected of you, you have some blood of the phoenix. You are becoming more and more abnormal!" Chen Jue couldn't help but praise it when he saw it chirping happily after its great success.
…
After returning to the forbidden area, they grilled fish and shared the food to fill their stomachs and replenish their strength. Then Chen Jue returned to the base to meditate and practice with the help of the rich Qi in the mountain to replenish the energy consumed in his body.
The golden crystals in those acupoints are very similar to the third eye on Chen Jue’s forehead. The crystals do not disappear once the Qi inside is consumed, but can be replenished continuously, just like batteries.
After spending three hours practicing the [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Technique] to restore his physical condition to its peak, Chen Jue decided to explore the special places mentioned by the phoenix.
However, this trip will involve leaving this base for a long time, so a lot of preparations need to be made.
In addition to rebuilding a new pair of wooden wings and replacing the original pair that were almost worn out, Chen Jue packed a backpack and brought more daily necessities.
But before setting off, Chen Jue still took a look at the active status of [Sky Eye] on the panel.
"Being able to see the past and the future... predict good and bad luck... just consider it as superstition!" When exploring this strange planet, Chen Jue felt it was better to be cautious.
Taking a deep breath and looking at his abundant lifespan, Chen Jue activated the [Heavenly Eye] state.
Immediately afterwards, the brain began to work at high speed, and a large amount of nutrients and true qi began to be transported to the hippocampus and the crystalline third eye.
An extremely vague "hallucination memory" flashed through Chen Jue's mind, and a huge man-made space appeared in the picture. The inner walls of the space were made entirely of golden metal, and the walls were covered with strange words and gestures.
In addition, in the center of this strange space, there is a tall bronze sacred tree standing upright. The sacred tree is full of flowers, birds, and various exotic beasts. Just as the picture approaches the bronze sacred tree, a thunderous breathing sound suddenly comes from the dark space channel in the distance.
Following the sound of breathing, a pair of huge blood-red eyes suddenly opened from the darkness, and Chen Jue froze all over!
The scene of this "hallucination memory" also came to an abrupt end here, and then a feeling of dizziness came over him, causing Chen Jue to quickly turn off the [Sky Eye] state.
Compared to the first time he opened his [Heavenly Eye], Chen Jue adapted faster this time, probably because he was in an environment with abundant true Qi and could replenish the consumed energy anytime and anywhere.
"The bronze sacred tree... the giant red eye... doesn't seem as dangerous as the first predicted scene..." Chen Jue muttered to himself, thinking back to the mental hallucination he predicted when he first opened his third eye. It hasn't happened yet, and he doesn't know if it's worth it to pay the price of one year of his life.
However, since he could see a suspected man-made space in the picture, Chen Jue became somewhat interested in the subsequent exploration.
After packing up the supplies, he put on his backpack, changed his wooden wings, and took off with the parrot. The man and the bird flapped their wings and flew towards the far west direction where the phoenix pointed out that the colorful crystals were produced.
…
And just as Chen Jue left this stronghold and headed west.
In a desert area many kilometers away, a team of explorers were speeding through the desert in a lunar rover, observing the surrounding environment nervously.
The burly black member in the car was frantically chewing gum, his body trembling slightly. Although he was holding an automatic rifle in his arms, he could not hide his nervousness and anxiety. He obviously lost the high spirits he had when he first landed. He cursed: "F#%! Damn the weather! Damn this place!"
"There's not even a source of fresh water! And there are those strange creatures! Four of our teammates have died trying to find water!"
"Bruce, is this what you mean by gold everywhere? Why do I feel like there's just some damn stuff everywhere?"
"If I can't find any more water, I'd rather go back and take the return capsule back to Earth! I don't want to stay in this damn place any longer!"
