Chapter 1009: Chapter 658: Prajna Dragon Elephant, Terrifying Qi Blood, and Lethal Power Levels!

The Divine Mountain trembled, and a condensed grayish mist column shot up from the peak, piercing through the invisible barrier of the Inner Realm in an instant.

This pillar wasn’t real; it was the manifestation of progress in Martial Arts principles.

It absorbed the essence of Heaven and Earth, containing a huge quantity of the purest primal energy.

As Meng Chuan observed, this primal energy was not "yuan" but "source energy."

The original energy of Heaven and Earth, the quintessence of qi, concentrated into a high-density form.

Through Martial Arts, Meng Chuan recognized Heaven and Earth, with the star veins acting as a guiding anchor, resonating with the original sources when the Inner Realm opened, summoning this energy to descend.

This was no coincidence but a natural attraction due to the alignment of Martial Arts principles with the currents of Heaven and Earth.

It roared into Meng Chuan’s body, channeling through the already condensed but not yet solidified star veins!

The newly born qi blood flowed gently, no longer merely nourishing the body, but becoming a torrent carrying his will.

Highly compressed and refined, it rushed and washed along the path of the star veins.

Every single star vein solidified and was instantly completely controlled.

The entire process was managed by Meng Chuan with full concentration, as if carving a unique imprint within the star veins, making them completely integrated with his body and will, ensuring there were no constraints when he needed to mobilize his qi blood in the future.

Each of his star veins could store 712.2 qi and blood value, which was also the limit of Meng Chuan’s meridian capacity.

In less than an incense stick’s time, a full twenty "empty" star veins solidified, reaping nearly fifteen thousand qi blood value in abundance!

His control over the qi blood was meticulous and subtle; with a mere thought, a more terrifying explosive force, refined and contained, surged through the veins, ready to burst forth.

Meng Chuan remained in a sitting posture, even as the unprecedented gathering of qi blood surged, yet under the control of the Power of Control, it ran smoothly, steadily, and forcefully.

How many days had passed, leading to this late night. The small courtyard was dark and dim.

But he himself was like a candlestick in the night, clear and bright.

Amidst the gathering of immense qi and blood, it lit up the courtyard as bright as day.

Night owls hovered, not daring to land for a long time.

Snakes and rats retreated, lying low and motionless.

The instigator of it all slowly opened golden eyes, retracting all the divine oddities from within, dispelling the unusual phenomena surrounding him.

His senses sunk between the Inner Realm and the firmament, as seventy star veins transformed into ruby glass conduits, expanding and contracting like breathing, drawing forth immense and terrifying power in a heartbeat’s calm and motion.

His mind shifted, and the power of qi blood was immediately drawn out.

It seeped into every blood vessel and vein, filling his limbs and bones.

Meng Chuan tightened his fists and immediately felt boundless strength.

"The principle of Martial Arts is the cornerstone for ascending higher in the path of martial cultivation, and qi blood is the river carrying the endless struggles of Martial Arts within. The human body is like a court, governing both civil and martial forces in unity, only then can one ascend higher..."

...

Meanwhile, deep within Mount Wutai.

This was a place forbidden to outsider tourists, the location of Spirit Sky Law King’s clothing tomb, controlled by the Buddhist Sect, not open to outsiders.

Spirit Sky Law King was a Grandmaster of "physical secret transmission," who traveled from the Esoteric Sect of the Western Regions to Central Earth a thousand years ago.

With the assistance of Dharma Divine Thought, after a century, he created the top-tier physical training method of "externally cultivated strength, internally realized prajna," passed down to later generations.

This method is called [Prajna Dragon Elephant]!

The upper limit of this divine secret technique is difficult to ascertain because no one in the world can attain the "Principle of Power."

Yet, as the most renowned divine hardening skill, countless heroes and greats are attracted to challenge it, continually deducing the path ahead, ascending to higher power realms.

Currently known realms are that Great Saint experts have deduced it to the thirteenth layer, holding power with the might of "invincible by vajra, power spanning Heaven and Earth."

In reality, from the tenth layer "ten dragons and ten elephants" force onward, this method has shown its fangs as the world’s foremost hardening technique.

Merely by using physical palm strength, one can shatter mountains and split rivers!

Of course, such a formidable divine secret technique has an exceedingly high entry threshold.

Physical requirements can be dismissed aside, the most valued aspect is the hardening talent!

As the Buddhist Sect says: without innate wisdom, one cannot attain the method.

Even those with extremely strong talent who can enter, each subsequent layer’s cultivation duration nearly doubles.

The first layer can be easily achieved within a year, the second layer within two years.

The third layer may be completed in four to five years, and so on.

To master the ten dragon ten elephant force typically requires a foundation of several centuries; even exceedingly rare treasures would only barely reduce the time.

Ultimately, unless one perfects the Prajna Dragon Elephant and masters the "Principle of Power," it is merely a method of augmenting power.

No one can confidently achieve this, nor will many waste precious rare treasures upon such a method.

But [Ultimate Dragon Elephant·Liao Huo] does not think so...

Beneath an unimaginably towering ancient tree spanning a hundred feet, sat a majestic figure standing nearly sixty feet tall.

Buzz—

Liao Huo sat cross-legged, eyes like elephant eyes, calm as a tranquil lake, without any ripple or expression.

He drew from his bosom a round, smooth, deep red fruit the size of a basketball.

Without peeling its skin, he bit forcefully with teeth like iron and copper, chewing and swallowing, accompanied by the closing of teeth, a dragon shadow flew out wailing, only to be emotionlessly sucked back into the stomach by the dragon elephant.

This "fruit" was a recently rated fifth-grade natural treasure introduced by Great Chu through diplomatic relations with the Dragon Realm—

A Transformation Dragon Egg!

Extracted from the stillborn shell of a dragon, according to its innate nature, able to grant extraordinary blessings to the consumer.

Dragon nature is inherently emotionless, as they often consume even their kind, therefore exchanging it with Blue Star without any mental burden...

The Red Dragon’s power is the fundamental reason Liao Huo spared no expense to consume it.

His [Rivers Carry Sun and Moon] trait can perfectly absorb the nutrients within, applying it to the body without wasting a single bit.
