Chapter 1565: Beginning of Martial Arts

Xiao Lin came to the rock wall and observed it carefully.

After a moment, he pinched his spiritual fingers thoughtfully, pointed his finger from a distance, and lightly tapped a very inconspicuous protrusion on the pattern of the rock wall.

Then the entire mountain began to shake. As Xiao Lin was surprised, the stone wall in front of him slowly fell down. In the blink of an eye, a huge black hole appeared in front of Xiao Lin, and a strong musty smell rushed out from it.

Xiao Lin could not sense any evil spirit from this musty air, and judging from the musty air, it seemed that no one had entered there for many years.

Xiao Lin thought again of the Nine-Nine Innate Evil Gathering Formation, which was obviously not formed naturally but was man-made. So this cave might be the practice cave of the person who set up the formation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin first released three wild-grade soul-devouring fire insects, and then he and Xiao Hei entered the cave.

The cave was full of dust, and it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time. A few black beads could be vaguely seen on the cave wall. These beads should have been the light source of the cave a long time ago, but due to the long time that had passed, these beads had long lost their luster, and even their own materials had long since decayed and deteriorated.

After walking for about a few dozen feet, Xiao Lin came to a mountain. The mountain was not big, only about twenty feet away. In the center of the mountain was a huge sphere, half-wrapped by some slanted metal material. What surprised Xiao Lin was that this sphere with a diameter of three feet and made of unknown material was suspended in the air, although it was wrapped, and it did not rotate. When Xiao Lin walked in front of the sphere, the weak wind he brought up actually rolled up the sphere, and it began to rotate slowly.

As the sphere rotated, runes began to light up on the strange metal wrapped around it, but these runes only lit up for a moment before going out one after another.

After the breeze blew, the ball spun a few times and then stopped.

Xiao Lin looked at the sphere with a puzzled expression on his face. The sphere was very strange. It looked neither like a formation nor a magic weapon. Xiao Lin couldn't figure out what the sphere was used for.

Xiao Lin turned around and looked around. He saw a cave on one side of the mountain. The cave was pitch black, but on the top of the cave there were four ancient seal characters. However, due to the age, the characters had become very blurred.

But Xiao Lin had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance the four words - Xianwu Zhenfu. Xiao Lin walked into the cave, passed through a corridor several meters long, and came to a secret room.

After entering the secret room, Xiao Lin's eyes were immediately attracted by a skeleton. Inside the secret room, he saw a stone bed. The stone bed was a light blood-red color. After sensing it, Xiao Lin could feel a faint spiritual power from the stone bed.

This surprised Xiao Lin a little.

"Could it be that this stone bed is a whole piece of blood spirit stone?" Xiao Lin's face was full of surprise. In some fairy spirit veins, at the core of the fairy spirit veins, the fairy spirit stone will be transformed into a whole piece due to its age. It is used to build various stone beds, stone tables, etc. When the immortal cultivators rest or practice on this kind of bed, they can continuously absorb the fairy spirit power in it.

However, fairy stones of this size are extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation, and the process of casting stone beds and stone tables will also result in a large loss of fairy stones. Moreover, stone beds and stone tables cannot replace the effects of those high-quality elixirs, so in the world of immortal cultivation, this kind of stone bed is still very rare.

What surprised Xiao Lin the most was not the stone bed carved from blood spirit stone, but the skeleton on the stone bed. The skeleton was very strange, with a blood red color all over, and in the blood red, there seemed to be a faint golden glow.

A puzzled expression appeared on Xiao Lin's face. He took a few quick steps, came to the stone bed, and began to observe the skeleton carefully.

Half an hour passed before Xiao Lin heaved a sigh of relief, a look of realization on his face.

"After advancing to the upper third level, the Qi and blood will be refined again to remove the cold and turbid power in the blood, and replace it with pure blood and immortal power. At this time, the blood will undergo a transformation and turn into a light gold color. Only by integrating the transformed Qi and blood into the bones of the whole body and further refining the bones can it be transformed into a light gold skeleton, thus advancing to the first level. This is also the highest realm of immortal warriors."

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but think of the old man sweeping the floor in the Wujing Building. The oppression he gave Xiao Lin was beyond his imagination. Although Xiao Lin had never seen a true first-grade immortal warrior, in his imagination, a first-grade immortal warrior did not seem to be able to give him the same powerful oppression as the old man sweeping the floor.

"Huh?" Xiao Lin saw that under the skeleton, there was a yellowed ancient book. It should have been under the body of this person. After he passed away, his body was annihilated and it was revealed. Moreover, it was covered with dust.

Xiao Lin picked up the ancient book casually and saw the large ancient seal characters on the cover at a glance - Chu Wu Xin Jing.

Seeing these four words, Xiao Lin showed an incredible expression on his face. He once talked with Shan Xin, the lord of Huiwu City, about the formation process of the Xianwu Realm. Shan Xin once mentioned that the first Xianwu warrior in the Xianwu Realm was named Chuwu.

That was the legendary figure who led the Xianwu world to defeat the Xiuxian world and drove the Xiuxian world to the Dongling Xiuxian world one hundred thousand years ago.

If this person is really the same person from 100,000 years ago, then it is not surprising that his name is Chu Wu.

Xiao Lin could never have imagined that he would actually see this legendary figure in this mysterious cave. He was only a legend in the Immortal Martial World. This Lord Chuwu had already broken through the void and ascended to the Immortal World, but why did he die here?

Could it be that immortal warriors simply cannot cultivate to the level of ascending to the immortal world?

Xiao Lin opened the ancient book in his hand with doubts.

Two full hours passed as he read this book. Xiao Lin gently closed the ancient book, a thoughtful expression on his face.

It turned out that the owner of this skeleton was indeed the legendary number one immortal warrior Chu Wu. Before creating the immortal martial arts, he was a low-level immortal cultivator who stopped at the sixth level of Qi Refining for thirty years. Seeing that there was no hope for his immortal cultivation, he was unwilling to give up and ran into the Xianwu Mountains.

Unexpectedly, by chance, he fell from a cave into a blood spirit stone vein. Not only did he not die, but the blood spirit energy in the blood spirit stone nourished his whole body, and he inadvertently opened the acupoints and qi cyclones in his meridians. This surprised him very much, and reminded him of the martial arts he had practiced in the mortal world before entering the world of immortal cultivation.

Chu Wu's experience before entering the world of immortal cultivation was somewhat similar to Xiao Lin's, except that Xiao Lin, by chance, obtained a basic immortal cultivation technique - the Dry Water Sutra; while Chu Wu practiced a superior mundane martial art - the Tianyang Divine Art.

Originally, the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians in his body had been connected, and the bridge between heaven and earth had also been connected, allowing him to enter the realm of a congenital warrior.

It was only after he advanced to the innate realm that he accidentally saw the legendary immortal cultivator. Only then did he realize that the martial arts he practiced was just a minor and inferior skill.

So he really gave up practicing martial arts and instead went deep into the Xianwu Mountains to look for immortality.

His hard work paid off, and he finally found the immortal city in the immortal cultivation world. After several years of hard work, he finally used the spirit stones he earned to exchange for a basic immortal cultivation method - the Fire Sun Sutra.

After obtaining the Fire and Sun Sutra, Chu Wu felt like he had found a treasure and practiced diligently for thirty years. However, to his disappointment, he was still unable to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining and enter the seventh level, and remained in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Seeing that he was nearly fifty years old, even if he could break through the seventh level of Qi Refining, there was a high probability that he would not be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime.

This made him feel lost and discouraged about cultivating immortals, but he was unwilling to return to the secular world, so he planned to enter the Xianwu Mountains and find a secluded and deserted place to end the rest of his life.

While searching deep in the Xianwu Mountains, he accidentally fell into a valley. This valley was not only home to a blood spirit stone vein, but also contained a lot of innate evil spirits. This kind of innate evil spirit was absolutely terrifying to him, because even a trace of it was enough to turn him, a low-level cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, into ashes.

But Chu Wu's life was not supposed to end. Inside the cave where he fell, the innate evil energy was blocked by a strange force and could not enter. Instead, the cave was filled with acquired evil energy.

The acquired evil energy is like a poison that can penetrate his intestines. Fortunately, this acquired evil energy is very thin and will not take his life. With his great Tianyang Divine Art, he can barely resist it.

He was trapped in this cave and couldn't get out. Although he still had some fasting pills, he could only survive for one or two years at most.

Thinking of his own rough experience, he couldn't help but feel sad, thinking: I had no hope of becoming an immortal, and now I ended up in this cave, which was also God's will. This was also a perfect place to bury my bones.

So Chu Wu sat cross-legged in meditation in this cave, no longer practicing the Fire Yang Sutra. Instead, when he had nothing to do, he practiced the Tianyang Divine Art that he had practiced in the mortal world.

As the magic power was working, a hint of light red vital energy actually rose up in the cave. It entered the body from the outside through the acupoints all over the body, and kept running along the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. Wherever it passed, not only did the body feel warm, eliminating the pain of evil spirits invading the body, but the acupoints became warm instead, and there was a tendency to continuously accelerate the absorption of the light red vital energy from the outside.

This greatly surprised him, because he had to know that the Tianyang Divine Art he practiced had already reached the highest level and entered the innate realm.

He was simply unable to advance further, but now, as his mind method was running, he actually felt that the energy and blood in his body was becoming stronger and stronger, and like waves, constantly washing over his flesh, blood, and bones.

In just one month, he felt much better. Not only that, a part of the light red vital energy seemed to have penetrated into his dantian through his meridians, allowing him to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining, which he had been unable to break through, and advance to the seventh level.

This strange scene made Chu Wu astonished and inexplicably happy. As long as he could advance to the foundation-building stage, he would have a long lifespan of two hundred years, which would allow him to go further on the path to immortality.

At the same time, Chu Wu also understood that all these changes were caused by the light red energy he attracted when he practiced the Tianyang Divine Art.

So he practiced the Tianyang Divine Art while at the same time using the weak spiritual power cultivated through the practice of the Huoyang Sutra to investigate the changes in his body.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed. He was surprised to find that many acupoints on his twelve main meridians gradually condensed into cyclones with the injection of light red vital energy. These cyclones would accelerate the absorption of the light red vital energy. In this way, as long as he opened up more acupoints and turned them into cyclones, the speed at which he absorbed the light red vital energy would increase exponentially. In this way, when he opened up all the acupoints on the twelve main meridians, even including the acupoints on the eight extraordinary meridians, the speed at which he absorbed the light red vital energy would reach a terrifying level.

Chu Wu gradually began to look forward to what realm he would reach by continuing to practice in this way.

Next, Chu Wu continued to open up the acupoints on the twelve meridians by improving the Tianyang Divine Art's mental method, and at the same time he recorded the improved mental method and created a new mental method.

He also discovered that as more light red vital energy was injected into the many acupoints in his body, the spiritual energy in his Dantian Qi Sea became more and more condensed, and there was a trend of breaking through again. He also did not feel any hunger, as if this light red vital energy was enough to replenish his consumption.

In this way, the problem of hunger was solved, and he began to practice in the cave with peace of mind.

Three hundred years have passed in a flash.

Three hundred years later, Chu Wu not only condensed the golden elixir and advanced to the golden elixir stage, but his twelve main meridians were also completely opened. The cyclones transformed from many acupoints also successfully opened the middle dantian and turned into a sea of ​​​​qi, which greatly improved his realm.

Chu Wu renamed his Tianyang Divine Art to Tianyang Immortal Art, which was also the first immortal martial arts technique he created.

At that time, Chu Wu had not yet divided the realms of immortal martial arts, and he did not know what his current combat power was, so he chose to leave the cave and travel outside.

At that time, the Xianwu Mountains were still dominated by immortal cultivators, who exercised high-pressure rule. Countless ordinary people and warriors were captured to build immortal cities and dig spiritual stones. The Xianwu Mountains were also filled with countless martial beasts. Every year, at least millions of mortals and warriors died in the mouths of martial beasts.

Especially the warriors among the mortals, who were suppressed and looked down upon by the immortal cultivators. Chu Wu therefore came up with a bold idea.

He founded a sect in the Xianwu Mountains, named the Xianwu Divine Sect, recruiting a large number of mortals with strong personalities and warriors with a certain foundation in martial arts, and taught them the basic skills of the Tianyang Immortal Art.

At the beginning, the immortal cultivation world did not pay attention to this sect, and even looked down on it. After all, the Xianwu Divine Sect was fighting for the banner of promoting martial arts to the extreme, but warriors were nothing more than bigger ants to immortal cultivators.

Until hundreds of years later, all this suddenly changed.
