The roar and anger of blood and flesh were like a mountain call and tsunami, wave after wave impacting Feng Mu's body. His skin swelled painfully as if it were about to burst open, his bones ached as if they were about to break, and his internal organs were unable to bear the heavy pressure, seemingly about to explode into a mass of blood at any moment.
Yet, the eerie tremor was like an invisible net, entwining between the skin and bones, firmly restraining the rampant blood and flesh, maintaining their proper form. The immense pain stimulated his nerves, causing his eyes to lose color, his ears to lose sound, and his mouth and nose to lose taste, until eventually the pain also gradually numbed, losing all sensation.
All five senses were lost, and his body transformed into a dead silent black prison, with his consciousness having nowhere to hide, becoming the only existence. Feng Mu vaguely sensed "God," that existence between reality and illusion. If the body were compared to the universe, God seemed infinitely small, merely a speck of dust, untraceable; yet also infinitely large, permeating every corner, reachable with a touch.
A flash of enlightenment emerged in Feng Mu's soul: "Martial Arts to God, God is myself, and I am my own God!"
At the moment the enlightenment emerged, light appeared in the dead silence of the darkness.
The white skeleton was like a canopy propping up the dark universe, with a series of bizarre palaces standing within it, breathing in and out like living beings. The crimson sea of flesh flowed and expanded within, pressing against everything.
"This is the body reflected by God!" Feng Mu marvelled in his heart, "The crimson sea of flesh is the uncontrolled blood and flesh, roaring angrily, wanting to devour everything. It has been unleashed, and God must tame the sea of flesh, weaving this liberated power into a new palace."
"And how does God tame the sea of flesh?" Feng Mu pondered.
The answer lay in the breathing and trembling of the entire universe.
Feng Mu used his consciousness to perceive his body's universe, realizing that the strange tremor frequency was exactly the whip to tame the blood and flesh, precisely the [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill] taught to him by Master Li Guishen.
"Use the consciousness to remember this breathing and tremor, then gradually imprint it into the blood and flesh, making this frequency an instinct."
Feng Mu knew he had understood correctly, because at the center of this universe, a strange message suddenly flashed: [You have comprehended the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill!]
[Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill · First Solution (1/2000)]
The somewhat mysterious universe of blood and flesh suddenly didn't seem as terrifying.
The most difficult hurdle had been crossed; now everything would follow naturally.
"Add points." The oracle resounded throughout the universe.
[You have comprehended the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill, this is an evil cultivation technique, extremely dangerous, a slight mistake in cultivation could make you blossom into a flower on the spot.]
[Everyone who obtained this evil skill must maintain high concentration during cultivation, it's difficult to sustain the liberated state for a long duration each day.]
[But you're different, since acquiring this evil skill, you've been utterly obsessed with cultivation.]
[You can abstain from eating or drinking, going without sleep or rest, your spirit always one hundred percent concentrated.]
[You are fearless, operating the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill 24 hours a day, thus in just one month, you've cultivated the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill to the second layer.]
[Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill · Second Solution (1/5000)]
[Remaining General Skill Proficiency: 15280]
Only advancing to the second solution, Feng Mu paused, not daring to add further, not because of reluctance to spend skill points, but purely for fear of startling the outside Li Guishen.
One second, the sea of flesh in the body universe was still rampant, the next second, it was as if leashed like a dog, calming down, beginning to vibrate in a strange and special frequency.
Beside the heart palace, the tendrils of blood and flesh coagulated into a tree-shaped palace, breathing in and out.
If Feng Mu were to go to the hospital for a CT scan now, the doctor would tell him that inside his body, next to the heart, there was a fist-sized lump of flesh, already at late-stage tumor, with cancer cells spreading throughout the body's blood and flesh.
Feng Mu, mastering the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution's first solution state, rendered the external frequency-controlling needle tremor of Li Guishen ineffective.
Li Guishen sensed it immediately, and just when he thought something had gone awry, he saw Feng Mu open his eyes on his own.
"Master, I'm done, you can remove the needles," Feng Mu said calmly.
Shock flashed across Li Guishen's face, and at his words, his hand trembled and he removed the needles, not bothering with the sutures, casually flicking them away, sewing a dense row of holes in the stone stool beside them.
He raised his hand to grip the back of Feng Mu's neck, the power surged through the latter's body for a circle, unable to maintain composure any longer, exclaiming: "Not only comprehended it, but directly reached the second solution?!!"
Back in the day, when Li Guishen was introduced into the [Ronggui Sect] by his own master, praised as a once-in-a-century genius by a group of martial uncles, even so, it took him a full month and a half to cultivate the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill to the second solution.
How much time did it take Feng Mu? In the time of a meal, right under his nose, he reached the second solution?
He just wanted to lead him into the door!
Feng Mu realized that he might have really startled Li Guishen, but he didn't show panic, his face resuming that dull expression.
"This is just the second solution, although it may seem astonishing, it's not enough to frighten the master to death," he pondered in his heart.
"The master passed on the Evil True Skill to me, so in return, I shall appropriately reveal some of my evil path talents. This way, as the youngest junior disciple, I can gain more attention and thereby obtain more resource inclination and focused cultivation from the sect."
Feng Mu calculated in his mind, since he wasn't walking the righteous path anyway, he didn't need to conceal too much. A righteous path failure and an evil path genius don't conflict; such an arrangement is reasonable and without issue.
At this moment, Li Guishen stared at Feng Mu with eyes blazing, as if looking at a rare treasure. His sparse eyebrows twitched, revealing his inner excitement and amazement.
"Good, as expected of a disciple sent by the ancestral master, it's fortunate I didn't dissect him. This kid is a once-in-500-years evil path prodigy of our Ronggui Sect." Li Guishen rejoiced quietly.
"Just one exceptionally gifted Li Bashan wasn't enough, now there's another evil path prodigy, Feng Mu." He felt deeply emotional.
"Our Ronggui Sect is about to thrive, just waiting for the two of them to grow up, along with me mastering the Deceitful Demon Skill... hahahaha!" Li Guishen couldn't help but reveal a cold smile.
Even though his heart was bubbling with joy, Li Guishen still tried to maintain the dignity on his face, squinting at Feng Mu, he thought to himself with satisfaction, "This kid is an evil path genius, perhaps he can soon master the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution. By then, I may very well teach him the Deceitful Demon Skill too."
"No, I must also seize the time, I absolutely need to thoroughly research the Deceitful Demon Skill as soon as possible." Li Guishen decided to double his efforts, to further advance on the path of great prosperity in the future.
Li Guishen had a sudden urge and couldn't sit still for even a moment.
He pulled out a booklet from his arms, which detailed the various issues that might be encountered during the cultivation of the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill.
He directly tossed the booklet to Feng Mu, pleasantly saying, "Research on your own first, come to me if anything is unclear."
After pondering for a moment, Li Guishen returned to his room, and when he came out, he had a few Martial Arts manuals in his hands, which he stuffed enthusiastically into Feng Mu's arms: "Since you have already reached the second solution of Blood and Flesh Initial Solution, cultivating these arts will be no problem, go on."
Look, the benefits of displaying talent are immediate.
Cradling the manuals, Feng Mu was secretly delighted, turned around, and returned to his room to study them on his own.
He first opened the booklet on Blood and Flesh Initial Solution, reading through it thoroughly from beginning to end, gaining a comprehensive understanding of this evil skill.
Simply put, the principle of this martial art is to liberate blood and flesh, replacing root bone, using blood and flesh to accomplish what root bone cannot.
If the root bone is inferior and locked, it doesn't matter, blood and flesh can be molded and shaped at will, whatever shape the martial art requires of the root bone, I can mold the blood and flesh into that shape.
The idea is, if you can't mold the bone, can't you mold the flesh?
It's based on the concept of substituting one thing for another, ultimately it's about deception; Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill is a martial art used specifically to deceive other martial arts.
Ordinary martial arts training, the so-called righteous path, is gradually changing the shape of root bone through progressive training, resonating with the practiced martial art.
Blood and Flesh Initial Solution, however, on the surface of the root bone, uses blood and flesh to disguise a "bone structure coating," thus deceiving martial arts, even deceiving oneself, to achieve the legendary "Martial Arts Divine Body."
Then training in martial arts would naturally be rapid progress, with noticeable improvement each day.
Of course, where there are advantages, there are bound to be disadvantages, and these are significant; otherwise, the evil path would have replaced the righteous path long ago.
First, the liberation of blood and flesh liberates cancer cells: it replaces normal cells in the blood and flesh with cancer cells, the danger of which is self-evident.
Secondly, the mastery over blood and flesh, to put it plainly, is about suppressing and controlling cancer cells with one's will, which is absurd when you think about it, only a madman would dare to try.
Finally, since the spread of cancer cells becomes increasingly fast, it means the training time for each solution in the Blood and Flesh Initial Solution is continuously reduced.
The first solution gives you nine years to train, the second solution is shortened to eight years, the third solution to seven years... until the final ninth solution, where only one year is given to complete the training and advancement.
The difficulty of each solution multiplies, while the time requirement multiplies in reduction, anyone with some mathematical knowledge would understand the terrifying difficulty of this problem, and those who can complete it would definitely be one in a million.
The other disadvantages will be temporarily set aside.
In summary, the cultivation process of Blood and Flesh Initial Solution is the cultivator's lifelong battle against cancer, it's not an exaggeration to say that pain and death are constant companions.
Feng Mu's heart was as calm as water, a "centenarian" like him never feared the dangers of martial arts, he only feared not being able to enter the door.
As long as he could step in, no matter if the road ahead was a chasm or an abyss, he vowed to trample it into a bright and smooth path day after day, year after year.
Just like the great sage Yu Jingwei once said, there were originally no roads in the world, but when he flattened the mountains and filled the oceans, there were roads.
"This is also my path!" Feng Mu's eyes gleamed with determination, taking a deep breath: "Add points!"
