I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city

In medicine, this state is also known as 'respiratory arrest'.

Respiratory arrest can lead to brain hypoxia, and prolonged periods can be life-threatening. Even if one is rescued by chance, irreversible damage to the body's organs can occur.

For ordinary people, or even for Martial Artists who practice Dark Force and Huajin, deliberately causing respiratory arrest has a very high mortality rate. It can be described as a narrow escape from death.

Wang Longhu had just taken a tour at the gates of hell.

The feeling was like an out-of-body experience, as if his spirit had left his body, wandering in an unclear yet infinitely vast space.

In that space, it was as if time did not exist, and everything was still, in terrifying silence.

But Wang Longhu's thoughts were extremely active, and many things that he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

He even began to think broadly, conducting introspection and making many improvements to his situation.

In that state, Wang Longhu's senses were extremely delightful, as if he was having a lucid dream, where things happened exactly as he wished.

Whatever difficult problem he wanted to understand, the answer would immediately emerge in his memory.

Just as Wang Longhu was immersed in this god-like, omnipotent mental state, he suddenly awoke and regained his consciousness.

He glanced at his phone and saw that only 12 minutes had passed. But these 12 minutes of Resting State left Wang Longhu in a cold sweat, extremely fearful.

He was acutely aware that if he had not woken up, if he continued to immerse himself in that divine mental state, his brain would ultimately die due to a lack of oxygen.

Although Wang Longhu would still have a strong physical body, death is death, and he would never come back to life.

"No wonder there is no record of anyone successfully achieving the Resting State in the four bifurcations—the Resting State is essentially a deep abyss; if one loses control, it becomes a deadly abyss." Wang Longhu stood up, trembling as he spoke.

Since he began practicing martial arts, Wang Longhu had never been afraid. He felt no fear when he went to Hong Kong Island to the Lu family to kill Lu Pingshan.

Nor did he fear when he went to Vietnam to kill Tan Yuejin, Ma Bomeng, and Qiao Qichong.

But tonight, he was genuinely scared. No one knew that moments ago, Wang Longhu was repeatedly crossing the line between life and death.

"Ancient texts recorded in the Daoist arts reference a state called 'Heaven and Man Connection'.

Ancients believed the universe and the human body are interconnected, using spirit and energy to communicate between Heaven and Man. Daoists with advanced cultivation would sense divine principles through their practice and spells,

allowing them to pray for weather, aid others, and benefit everything. In the study of internal alchemy, Unity of Heaven and Man, where all qi is interconnected, can unite the limitless vitality with the limited physical body, forming the Spirit Pill,

enlightening the Yang Spirit, refining the spirit back to emptiness, and merging with Dao for truth, complete with the path of natural non-action. Dao is comprehensive as one—the ultimate Unity of Heaven and Man.

Could it be that the so-called Unity of Heaven and Man is the omnipotent state one feels upon entering Resting State, where all questions are answered, and all truths revealed?"

With a burst of Inner Strength, Wang Longhu flicked off the cold sweat from his body, making his body refreshed once again.

Although he had just gone through a terrifying experience between life and death, Wang Longhu also gained profoundly, finding many valuable insights.

These insights are priceless; they are more valuable than gold, and martial artists who have not entered Resting State will never encounter such insights in a lifetime.

At this moment, Wang Longhu seemed to communicate heart-to-heart with ancient people from thousands of years ago, understanding the intricate and mysterious thoughts recorded in those passed-down ancient texts.

"To enter the Resting State, one needs abundant Qi and blood and a powerful body, along with higher-than-average spiritual power, all of which are indispensable. I must have inadvertently touched upon the principle of what is consolidated in the Upper Dantian." Wang Longhu opened the door and walked outside, chuckling.

The human body has protective mechanisms, which are very strong. So ordinary people cannot achieve breath control through their willpower.

Only someone like Wang Longhu, with Qi and blood condensed into Huajin, can attempt it.

Tonight, the moonlight was beautiful, and outside Wang Longhu's room was the courtyard of the martial arts school.

Walking to the center of the courtyard, Wang Longhu raised his hands above his head and began a long inhale and exhale breathing pattern.

At this moment, he seemed to merge into the heavens and earth, synchronizing with nature's rhythm.

In the omniscient experience of Resting State, Wang Longhu thought about the Marrow Cleansing Scripture he possessed.

Previously, he found its cultivation methods difficult to comprehend, but at this moment, Wang Longhu was suddenly enlightened about many aspects.

The great monk once said, the Marrow Cleansing Scripture uses breath to refine energy into spirit and cleanses the body's impurities down to the bone marrow.

If one can achieve perfect cleansing of the entire Grand Circulation from head to toe, one can become the celestial being, with bones as jade, marrow as mercury, and Qi and blood like tides, breaking through life and death.

Tonight, Wang Longhu knew what to do; at this moment, he must cleanse his entire bone marrow.

Wang Longhu tilted his head back and took a deep breath towards the moonlit night sky, and suddenly a faint airflow vortex appeared above his mouth.

This airflow vortex was extremely faint. If you do not go close to Wang Longhu and stand face to face, you cannot see this miraculous phenomenon at all.

Wang Longhu constantly inhaled towards the moon, and his belly slowly inflated along with the breaths.

Like an inflating balloon, Wang Longhu's belly grew larger than that of a pregnant woman at ten months soon enough.

At this moment, Wang Longhu used Wudang Golden Toad Skill to swallow qi, and his posture was truly like a golden toad, opening its mouth to consume the qi of sun, moon, and earth.

Buzz!

When the elastic of his body had expanded to the limit, almost to the point of bursting, Wang Longhu suddenly contracted, concentrating all his Inner Strength into his Lower Dantian, forming an invisible pill.

All Qi and blood converged into the Middle Dantian, forming an invisible pill.

His limbs and body were devoid of Inner Strength and Qi and blood. At this moment, Wang Longhu's body was like an empty shell, the most defenseless state since he began practicing martial arts.

The air that Wang Longhu inhaled into his body fiercely struck all of Wang Longhu's bones.

One after another, as if a hammer was forging iron, expelling impurities and refining the purest iron.
