Doomsday Code

Chapter 799: The Promotion of Inner Alchemy to Martial Arts

However, when they saw a younger generation rising at an unimaginable speed, the dormant desire to seek the truth in their hearts became hot.

They may not be able to attain enlightenment in this lifetime, but being able to see the further development of martial arts, even if they are just witnesses, is a blessing that they will die with no regrets.

"President, do you think he can really succeed?"

Huang Xiaoren came to Wu Cai, leaning on his walking stick.

However, Wu Cai shook his head and said:

"I don't know. I'm afraid none of the Grandmasters in the world know. After all, that realm has only truly appeared for a few hundred years, and in those few hundred years, only three or five people have been able to touch the edge, let alone achieve enlightenment."

"But I believe he can do it. If he can't do it, then maybe that realm is just a joke made by the Wudang founder in his later years."

At this time, in the large suite prepared for Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng sat on the floor of the martial arts training room, and then took out from his arms the notes he had summarized after reading hundreds of martial arts experiences.

And on the last page of the notebook, there were two words written - Baodan.

Because of the rise of online literature on cultivating immortals, many people have learned about cultivating immortals, and have also heard an extremely pretentious saying - My destiny is in my own hands.

However, the source of this sentence is "Baopuzi Neipian" written by the famous Taoist master Ge Hong. There is another sentence below it: It will take billions of years to turn the elixir into gold.

In modern terms, it is like a golden elixir entering the stomach, and my destiny is in my own hands.

In the development process of martial arts, from the initial external strength training, to strengthen the body, just like the hard training in the gym today, and then with the prosperity of Taoism in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, especially the prosperity of the Danding School, martial arts also absorbed this part of the essence and began to transform from external to internal.

However, at that time, martial arts had not yet developed into a systematic internal skills.

It was not until the Yuan and Ming dynasties that the Mongols destroyed the Central Plains culture, especially several debates between Buddhism and Taoism, which caused Taoism to suffer heavy losses. Many Taoist temples were turned into Buddhist temples, and many Taoist inner alchemy techniques that were originally only treasured were scattered among the people.

At this time, with the guidance of Taoist inner alchemy, martial arts entered the fast lane of development.

Finally, the earliest internal martial arts - Mian Zhang - was born.

Later, each school had its own Mian Zhang, the most famous of which should be the Wudang Mian Zhang.

Wudang Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng combined the Taoist Tai Chi's two principles and inner alchemy, and eventually created the Wudang Mian Zhang, which then made him the strongest grandmaster in history.

It can be said that the dissipation of Taoism's treasured inner alchemy techniques led to the renewed flourishing of martial arts.

With the guidance of new ideas, various internal martial arts styles emerged one after another in the following hundreds of years. It can be said that all subsequent martial arts had the shadow of internal alchemy.

And it was at this time that the warrior touched the limit of martial arts.

Just like the Taoist inner alchemy, the Taoists have developed it for thousands of years in order to become immortals, from the outer elixir of the universe, to the heavy metal elixir of gold, mercury, lead and silver, to the inner elixir of the universe in the human body. After thousands of years of hard pursuit, no one has become an immortal.

Ancient martial artists who inherited Taoist inner alchemy will naturally face such difficulties, as their martial arts have reached their limits.

This is something all Grandmasters can feel.

It was not until the later years of Zhang Zhenren, the first master of internal martial arts, when he had become a sloppy Taoist priest, that he proposed another realm - Baodan.

This term is not unfamiliar and has been mentioned in inner alchemy. However, this is the method of refining inner elixir in inner alchemy.

Its origin is also from observing hens incubating eggs and giving birth to chicks. Because hens incubate eggs, they do not nurture the fetus in their bodies. To the ancients who had not studied biology, this was a magical phenomenon of life evolution.

Especially after Taoist priests went from gazing up at the boundless universe to looking inward at themselves, they also learned to lower their heads and search.

Of course, the Dan-Bao in martial arts is not the kind of immortal cultivation in Taoist inner alchemy. It is a sublimation of the mind and a perfect fusion of oneself and the mind.

And this is all the information Chen Cheng knows about Baodan.

A big part of the reason why he wanted to challenge various masters was that he wanted to use these masters to perfect his martial arts and hone his will.

Will may be somewhat illusory to the people in this world, but Chen Cheng, who has come into contact with extraordinary powers, is very clear about the power of will.

Not to mention the military demons condensed by the military formations, even his consciousness was polluted by beliefs. These filthy beliefs were a manifestation of intention.

Chen Cheng believed that the reason why Wu Cai and the others could not enter this realm was probably because this was a world without extraordinary powers. They were all ordinary people, so their physical bodies were simply unable to support them in truly completing the Dan stage.

But he is different. He is already a reincarnated body. After being tempered by the fighting spirit, his body has become extraordinary. Moreover, the problem of faith pollution in his consciousness has also been solved. Although he cannot use magic in this world, the power of his own will is indeed there.

Moreover, after these days of fighting, he also found that his consciousness had become much more solid than before. Although the overall strength had not changed, Chen Cheng could feel that his consciousness had become stronger.

Chen Cheng withdrew his mental power for introspection, put away the notebook, washed up, and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't have much rest in this month. He didn't know how long he could stay in the divine realm this time, so he was squeezing in his time.

Now that he has arrived at the Martial Arts Association, and tomorrow he will meet masters from all over the world, he can finally have a good sleep today.

He slept from the afternoon to the next morning. With the first rays of sunlight, Chen Cheng finished the basic boxing skills that he first learned in the morning class.

It can be said that to date, the only martial arts that Chen Cheng has truly learned is this set of basic boxing techniques, and the rest of the hundreds of martial arts are just some moves he learned during battles.

After washing up and having breakfast, Huang Xiaoren personally came to Chen Cheng and said:

"Master Bu is ready, please follow me."

Chen Cheng put away his notebook, then took a long breath and followed Huang Xiaoren to the martial arts hall.

Today, a sign prohibiting entry of unauthorized persons was hung at the entrance of the martial arts hall. Chen Cheng knew that this was the training ground prepared for him.

Following Huang Xiaoren across the banner and into the martial arts hall, he saw that there were no less than ten middle-aged to elderly people sitting in the audience seats of the martial arts hall, and under the ring were several weapon racks with various weapons placed on them.

Its span can range from a short stick of less than ten centimeters to a Green Dragon Crescent Blade of more than two meters.

Chen Cheng jumped onto the stage and saluted the masters below.

When the masters saw that Huang Xiaoren really brought a young man in, some of them looked surprised, some disdainful, and some excited. In short, their expressions varied.

When they saw Chen Cheng saluting them, these people also stood up and returned the salute solemnly.
