Chapter 285: 【139】Challenge Letter_5
That is the realm of 'Three Elixirs and Four Abstinences'.
To achieve the Three Elixirs and Four Abstinences is to become an existence known as an 'Immortal' in this world.
Gang Qi has already surpassed Martial Arts and belongs to the methods within the realm of Martial Law.
To kill with energy across a distance, how can it not be considered 'Law'?
Fuh Black Autumn Serpent did not expect that a master who has reached the realm of Martial Law would appear in the Chinatown Martial Arts Hall.
"That person has already achieved Qi and Blood Condensing Pill, you didn't lose unfairly." Fuh Black Autumn Serpent said without anger as he left Tanaka Ryuu.
Tanaka Ryuu's body was full of traces of destruction by Wang Longhu's Inner Strength, with significant damage to the brain's meridians, making it incurable; for the rest of his life, he would merely be an imbecile.
Such a person has no value to the Heaven and Earth Alliance and is only fit to be abandoned.
"Thank you Black King, thank you Black King, for not accomplishing the mission this time, I brought disgrace to the Heaven and Earth Alliance, I ask Black King to give me another chance to join the next action to flatten the Chinatown Martial Arts Hall." Mitsumasa Higuma said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, Fuh Black Autumn Serpent stared at him with a strange look, causing an immediate chill down his spine and a sense of unease all over.
"Fool, what makes you think a Huajin who has condensed Qi and Blood Pill would let a tiger return to the mountain, allowing you to return unharmed to report to me? Is he so arrogant?"
"Black, Black King, what do you mean by this?" Mitsumasa Higuma was stunned, not knowing what to say.
"It's better to reincarnate sooner than to live in ignominy, let me give you a clear death." Fuh Black Autumn Serpent reached out and pointed at Mitsumasa Higuma's forehead.
As he injected a wisp of Inner Strength into Mitsumasa Higuma's brain, Mitsumasa Higuma immediately felt excruciating head pain, as if someone had inserted an air pump into his brain, continuously inflating.
"Black King, Black King! Don't kill me!"
Mitsumasa Higuma instinctively wanted to stand up and struggle, but the next second his head exploded entirely, blood spraying from the seven orifices, and Mitsumasa Higuma collapsed lifelessly on the ground, completely devoid of breath.
"Unable to detect the Inner Strength left in his body, truly a waste." Fuh Black Autumn Serpent disdainfully took out a handkerchief to wipe his bloodstained hand and turned to leave.
He walked to the far end of the room by the floor-to-ceiling window, where a grand wooden shrine was placed with its back to the outside sunlight.
The entire shrine was three levels high, its surface covered with golden filament-like fine lines, made of top-grade golden camphor wood.
The value of the golden camphor wood used to build this shrine alone probably exceeded tens of millions.
The sunlight streamed into the room from behind the shrine, casting a sacred aura upon it.
On the first level of the shrine was a censer shaped like mountains and rivers, the second level held numerous spirit tablets.
And on the highest third level, there was a brown mummy sitting on a golden lotus platform.
It was wrapped in a large red cloth, sitting steadily in a meditative posture at the highest point of the shrine, requiring all to gaze upon it.
Anyone seeing this scene would break into a cold sweat, even in broad daylight.
"Master in Heaven, disciple pays respects, please grant the Heaven and Earth Alliance martial prosperity."
Fuh Black Autumn Serpent respectfully took nine sticks of incense from a nearby box, ignited them, bowed nine times, and humbly inserted them into the mountain censer.
With curling smoke, the place began to take on a dreamy atmosphere.
"Come, summon Cyan Wood, Red Fire, West Gold, Profound Water, and Yellow Earth halls, inform all incense masters to act at midnight tomorrow, target — eliminate the Chinatown Martial Arts Hall."
...
Late night.
Wang Longhu was in his room, sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, meditating.
After reaching the stage of Qi and Blood Condensing Pill, further training provides limited improvement for a Martial Artist.
To advance further, one needs to explore within the human body, comprehend the law, understand the way, and achieve enlightenment.
Otherwise, Wang Longhu's realm in this lifetime would stop at Qi and Blood Condensing Pill.
The room was very quiet, and if someone stood by Wang Longhu at this moment, they would be startled to discover something.
That is, Wang Longhu's chest had no movement, and by placing a hand on his wrist and fingers under his nose, one would be amazed to find no pulse or breathing, as if he were dead.
The entire environment was completely unified with Wang Longhu, and if not visible, he seemed about to disappear from this world.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Longhu suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart began to beat violently.
The sound was so loud, like a small engine, the entire room filled with the pounding sound of heartbeat.
"So, so terrifying! Is the extreme state of Breath Abstinence like this?" Wang Longhu muttered fearfully, drenched in sweat from the aftershock.
Ever since achieving Qi and Blood Condensing Pill, Wang Longhu deliberately focused his energy on researching the Four Abstinences.
Breath Abstinence, Fasting, Leak Abstinence, Sleep Abstinence.
No breathing, no eating, no excretion, no sleeping.
The four extraordinary realms known as 'Earth Immortal', achieving any one of the Four Abstinences already surpasses human limits.
How can humans not breathe, eat, excrete, or sleep?
Just a moment ago, Wang Longhu purposely slowed his breath, storing the inhaled air in his lower Dantian, meaning to store the elixir.
Making his frequency of breathing decrease, blood flow slow, and the whole body's temperature drop.
In this state, Wang Longhu pushed himself to the extreme, truly achieving a complete Breath Abstinence state.
