“Meng Chong was contemplating.

While he was practicing, his mind became like a big sun, gradually seeming to resonate with the sun in the sky. He felt as though he was being tempered in a furnace, with the sound of a golden bell ringing inside him.

As he cultivated, Meng Chong had a sensation. The sun in his heart gradually revealed the silhouette of a knife.

The knife was hidden in the sun, as if it was being tempered, undergoing transformation.

With his cultivation, the knife’s silhouette gradually became clearer.

“This is the knife in my heart!

I temper the knife in my heart with the big sun. When 1 resonate with the knife in my hand, this is to nourish the knife with intention, with the heart, with the body!”

Meng Chong had a sudden awakening at this moment.

“As long as I steadfastly cultivate, taking one step at a time without hurry or impatience, I will eventually resonate with the knife in my hand and enter the state of nourishing the knife with intention and heart.”

Meng Chong was overjoyed.

He knew that he had finally awakened and found the correct method of knife cultivation.

Given time, he would certainly be able to cultivate his knife and awaken the knife spirit.

He just needed to proceed step by step and cultivate solidly.

Having awakened to the path of nurturing the knife with intention, Meng Chong practiced even more assiduously.

He wished he could be practicing all day long.

Each day he cultivated, the sun in his heart resonated with the sun in the sky, and the knife in his heart gradually became clearer. Its silhouette became more distinct, and he became one step closer to resonating with the knife in his hand and entering the state of nurturing the knife with intention.

V’Cultivation requires a balance between exertion and rest. Resonating with the sun in the sky ultimately consumes mental energy and can’t be sustained for long. If I blindly persist, 1 would harm my mental energy and in turn damage myself.”

Meng Chong collected his mental energy, no longer resonating with the sun in the sky.

Once mental energy is damaged, recovery would demand considerable time, which would, in turn, delay cultivation.

One day, while Meng Chong was cultivating, a sudden impulse arose in his heart. The knife in his hand seemed to enter his heart, seemed to resonate with his mental energy, and seemed to merge with his understanding.

At this moment, the silhouette of the knife in his heart became clear.

Gradually, it became identical to the knife in his hand.

The knife in his heart resonated with the knife in his hand!

“This is to nourish the knife with my heart and intention! I have finally started to truly nurture the knife. I only need to keep going. When the day comes that the knife resonates with me, my heart is the heart of the knife, and my spirit is the spirit of the knife. This will be the day 1 draw the knife, and the moment the knife is drawn will be the time to awaken the knife spirit.

I am just beginning to nurture the knife, just starting to nurture it with my heart and intention.”

Meng Chong thought to himself.

He wasn’t sure how long it would take to complete the nurturing of a knife and to awaken the spirit of the knife.

But he firmly believed that as long as he persisted, there would come a day when he could awaken the spirit of the knife!

A figure landed next to him.

Meng Chong quickly rose to his feet and gave a reverential bow: “Master!

Li Xuan took a look at his disciple, his aura seemed somewhat different. Could it be that his knife cultivation had made progress?

Although he couldn’t discern anything, his eyes seemed to see through everything.

“Today, I am going to teach you the technique of the Innate Realm for physical body cultivation.”

Li Xuan spoke slowly.

Meng Chong was overjoyed, saying, “Thankyou, Master!”

“You should fully comprehend this. When you understand it, and when your qi and blood realm is complete, you can break through to the Innate Realm.”

Li Xuan hoped that Meng Chong could awaken to the cultivation technique sooner.

“Yes, Master!”

Meng Chong nodded excitedly.

With one hand behind his back, Li Xuan glanced at the horizon, his figure shrouded in a mysterious aura, exuding the demeanor of a master.

“The physical Martial Arts focus on the mystique of the physical body. It is about strengthening the physical body, strengthening the self, opening up the hidden potential of the physical body, and enhancing the physical body’s divine strength.”

Li Xuan spoke word by word.

He began explaining the cultivation technique of the physical Martial Arts in the Innate Realm that he had prepared in advance.”

“The foundational technique for physical martial arts is the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, but of course, the foundation of physical martial arts is not just this technique. What I am teaching you is the strongest and most fundamental method in physical martial arts.”

Li Xuan patted his own back.

He muttered inwardly, “I didn’t say anything wrong. After all, besides the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, 1 can also create the Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt. Surely there isn’t just one basic technique.”

Meng Chong listened attentively, terrified of missing a single word.

“Physical martial arts also require a breakthrough into the Innate Realm, by comprehending the link between heaven and earth. This is fundamental and unchanging. However, the difference from orthodox martial arts is that after establishing the dantian qi sea, the cultivation of physical martial arts specializes in opening orifices!”

Li Xuan continued explaining.

“For the Great Sun Golden Body technique I’m teaching you, you have to open up 36 golden body points, stimulate the physical strength, nurture the mysteries of the physical body within these orifices. Each of the 36 golden body points hides a unique mystery.”

“Absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, nurturing the 36 orifices, uniting as one, the golden body is immortal, with infinite divine power…”

For the cultivation of physical martial arts, after reaching the Blood Qi Realm and stepping into the Innate Realm, Li Xuan has been pondering for a while and has finally perfected it.

In orthodox martial arts, the Dantian Qi Sea is opened, the True Qi circulates throughout the body, and the Qi Sea is vast and endless.

This is the cultivation of orthodox martial arts. Physical martial arts, focusing on the physical body, naturally has to differ from the cultivation of orthodox martial arts.

However, if it is not the circulation of True Qi throughout the body, how can the physical body grow strong and possess immense power?

The answer lies in opening the golden body points, using nature’s spiritual energy to nurture the points, infuse one’s body, and once the thirty-six points are fully opened, it will be akin to the upper realm of the orthodox martial arts’ Innate Realm.

Each point has its own mystery and every time a point is opened, the physical body is strengthened.

Therefore, he came up with the Great Sun Golden Body.

Although physical martial arts also establish the Qi Sea, the emphasis is not on the Qi Sea. Instead, it uses the Qi Sea as the foundation to open the Golden Body points.

“Each of the 36 Golden Body points possesses unique properties. After opening and nurturing them to perfection, if the physical body suffers an injury, the mystery of the points can be triggered and the wound can heal instantly. Once a point is activated and nurtured to its full potential, it can even expel toxins.”

Li Xuan explained in detail how to open and cultivate each Golden Body point.

Naturally, this is just theoretical knowledge. The specifics of how to cultivate and perform lie entirely on Meng Chong’s personal comprehension and practice.

Only when he successfully comprehends and practices will there be a true Great Sun Golden Body technique.

Meng Chong listened attentively, his face flushed with excitement. This Great Sun Golden Body was incredibly formidable and profound.

Opening the 36 Golden Body points, each one held its own mystery.

When the 36 points unite as one, the golden body is immortal!

As Li Xuan explained, he also pointed out the rough positions of the 36 points to Meng Chong.

He had put a lot of thought into these 36 points.

These points weren’t randomly derived but carefully selected based on his knowledge from his past life. The thirty-six points form a cycle.

The reason for choosing 36 points is that he doesn’t remember many more points.

To form a cycle and to increase the success rate of cultivation, after much contemplation and pruning, he decided on these 36 points.

These are conveniently also the number of heavenly stems.

“My disciple, once you have successfully opened and fully cultivated the 36 Golden Body points, and they blend perfectly as one, you will attain the transformation of the golden body. This is the profoundness of the heavenly stems. Thinking can bring about the infinite body, turning into a three Zhang tall golden body, quite formidable!”

Li Xuan said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chong was boiling with enthusiasm. He couldn’t wait to cultivate the Great Sun Golden Body right away and fully open and nurture all 36 Golden Body points.

A three Zhang golden body!

This would essentially turn him into a miniature giant!

Imagine how many martial artists could withstand his punch?

Just thinking about the future, where he could transform into a golden mini-giant, valiant and robust, taking on his opponents as if they were mere mice, excited him to no end.

Seeing his disciple flush with excitement, Li Xuan felt extremely satisfied. His newly composed Great Sun Golden Body was indeed formidable and profound.

The three Zhang golden body did indeed sound impressive!

As for how to progress in the cultivation of physical martial arts after reaching the Great Sun Golden Body, which spans the range of the Innate Realm and above, Li Xuan has a direction and clues but has not yet fully developed it.

This requires the orthodox martial arts to be fully developed first as a reference.

After all, the cultivation of physical martial arts is an extension of the system of orthodox martial arts.

This is also why, after Li Xuan has thought through the realm above the Innate Realm, he fully perfected the Great Sun Golden Body. The final opening of the 36 points, embodying the profoundness of the heavenly stems and turning into a mini giant, is based on this foundation..
