Crack! Crack! Crack!

Following the unique breathing method of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, Wang Longhu inhaled the qi into his body, using it to impact his bones and crazily delve into the marrow.

Such an inhumane action naturally aroused the resistance of the body's protective mechanisms.

A nauseating discomfort arose from within, making Wang Longhu desperately want to stop his actions at this moment.

But he immediately gritted his teeth and endured it, as using essence to cleanse the body's impurities was something an ordinary person could not achieve.

Only by crossing this step could one truly transcend the ordinary and achieve the extraordinary.

Once his entire skeleton was filled with qi, Wang Longhu then released the inner strength from his Lower Dantian and the qi and blood from his Middle Dantian.

Immediately, a massive and intense reaction erupted within him, with the qi and blood inner strength pressing on the bones from the outside while the qi infused inside the bones created a counterforce.

The two forces from inside and outside instantly stirred up the marrow in Wang Longhu's bones into chaos.

This is the cleansing of essence!

He immediately felt a remarkably sharp sensation of his head being torn apart, as if someone were using a drill to grind his skull.

This feeling persisted for more than ten minutes and then began to spread downward, from the cervical vertebrae to the ribs, the spine to the arm bones, and the leg bones.

Throughout, Wang Longhu clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the pain of bone cleansing within his body.

It was visible that during the process of cleansing all his bones, Wang Longhu's complexion was gradually improving, and his overall demeanor began to transform sublimely.

From within him, faint sounds like waves crashing on rocks, or tidal waves hitting the shore, could be heard continuously.

Bang!

Wang Longhu exerted his legs, and the ground beneath him instantly caved in, creating a large pit, not due to a tremendous blow.

It was more like being crushed by a heavy object, forcibly pressed into the pit.

Once the sound of waves from within Wang Longhu's body stopped abruptly, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright glimmer erupted, like the dawn breaking the night.

"So heavy..." Wang Longhu marveled incredulously at the sensation of his own body.

A Martial Artist is undoubtedly highly aware and familiar with their own body condition; Wang Longhu had tempered his muscles, bones, and skin with Dark Force, so his body control needed no further words.

If he wanted to use thirty percent strength, he would absolutely not output forty percent, yet now, Wang Longhu felt a slight unfamiliarity with his own body.

Heavy, extremely heavy!

His body now felt as if it was filled with thousands of pounds of iron; every movement, whether raising his hand or kicking his leg, caused significant hindrance to Wang Longhu.

Bang.

Wang Longhu exerted force to lift his leg, stamping hard on the ground, causing the entire ground to resonate with a great rumble, producing a footprint over ten centimeters deep, causing even the garden to slightly tremble.

"No inner strength used; this is purely my own power, the Marrow Cleansing Scripture. I've achieved some success," Wang Longhu recalled the records in the Marrow Cleansing Scripture and compared them to his current state, exclaiming joyfully.

The Marrow Cleansing Scripture records that a perfect Grand Circulation cleansing can make one akin to a celestial being, with bones like jade, marrow like mercury, and qi and blood like tides, breaking life and death.

Wang Longhu, naturally, hadn't reached this level, and he maintained some skepticism whether the Marrow Cleansing Scripture could truly allow one to attain such a state.

Yet some phenomena matched Wang Longhu's post-cleansing state tonight.

Such as 'marrow like mercury'.

This mercury doesn't refer to the modern chemical element symbol Hg, but the alchemical term 'lead and mercury' in Alchemy Dao.

Lead and mercury are considered the source of life and essence in the Inner Alchemy Book, where lead is the essence and mercury is the essence.

Zhang Sanfeng's 'Meditation Song' mentions: If one recognizes the true lead and mercury, they would become an immortal.

Lead is the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, mercury is the primordial spirit of man, and the union of lead and mercury forms an inner elixir, which can transform into a Nascent Soul and ascend.

Lead and mercury are drawn from the heavens and the earth, and a single drop can weigh over ten thousand pounds. To cultivate to where marrow is like mercury, one can imagine what weight this person's body would reach.

A normal person can lift about 1-1.5 times their body weight.

Professional athletes can manage 2-3 times, with some deadlift champions reaching the human limit of four times.

But that is already the limit.

If a person weighs 200 pounds and possesses top-tier talent, they can lift up to 800 pounds, four times the weight.

Beyond this, breaking through becomes incredibly difficult.

Since force scales proportionally, and a 200-pound person's muscle and bone density can't support lifting 1000 to 2000 pounds.

It's like there's a lock set on your upper limit.

To break this lock, there are only two paths: to enhance muscle density or to change bone density.

In the novel "Romance of the Tang Dynasty," there's a description of Li Yuanba: Legend has it that one day, Li Yuanba had a strength contest with Yuwen Chengdu.

Yuwen Chengdu carried a three-thousand-pound bronze lion from the Meridian Gate to the great hall, step by step.

The stone slabs on the road shattered under his steps, as Yuwen Chengdu could bear the weight of a three-thousand-pound bronze lion, but the ground couldn't withstand it.

After reaching the emperor's great hall, Yuwen Chengdu set down the lion for Li Yuanba to attempt.

Li Yuanba lifted the lion over his head with ease and walked back and forth over a dozen laps within the hall.

Miraculously, the slabs in Li Yuanba's path remained intact, pristine as new.
