Chapter 39: Chapter 39 The Legend of the Supreme Ancient Body



Chen Fuguang explained, "The so-called Treasured Body literally refers to treating one\'s body as a \'treasure\' and forging it into one."

His voice took on a melodious tone, "In ancient times, there was a poem that went—"

"Flesh hosting dragon and elephant, tendons like iron built,"

"Skin bursting like glazed glass, unyielding jade bones underneath."

"Blood like molten lava scorching red gold, utmost perfection and marvel, a true Treasured Body."

"It refers to the legendary \'Five Realms of the Treasured Body\'."

"\'Flesh Hosting Dragon Elephant,\' \'Iron Tree Entwining Tendons,\' \'Lustrous Glass Skin,\' \'Unyielding Jade Bones,\' \'Dripping Blood Melts Gold.\'"

"These five great realms are the ultimate physical states that ancient martial artists dreamed of."

As Xue Jing listened, entranced by the realms depicted by ancient martial artists, he couldn\'t help but ask further,

"What specifically do these five great realms represent?"

Chen Fuguang, very pleased with Xue Jing\'s reaction that greatly satisfied his desire to share, smiled proudly and said,

"The so-called \'Flesh Hosting Dragon Elephant\' refers to muscular flesh that harbors the power of dragons and elephants. Among aquatic creatures, the dragon has the greatest force, and among land creatures, the elephant is the strongest. These two are considered the most powerful beings in legends, so \'Flesh Hosting Dragon Elephant\' should be easy to understand."

"There is an old saying that goes: Why does one strive to shake the land under heaven? Solely to cultivate the flesh of dragon and elephant."

As Chen Fuguang spoke, he began to shake his head and sway, getting excited.

"Secondly, \'Iron Tree Entwining Tendons\' refers to sinews like the roots of an iron tree. Trees are naturally tough, but iron trees are even more so, surpassing in both hardness and resilience. Muscles and tendons are inseparable, with muscles being the extension of tendons and tendons the essence of muscles.

Possessing sinews like the roots of an iron tree can bind the flesh of dragon and elephant, maximizing their potential."

"There\'s a saying that praises: Divine power limitless, moving mountains with ease, iron tree tendrils tightly winding the body."

Chen Fuguang listed these attributes as if counting treasures, and when he got to the sayings, he almost sang them like a professional storyteller.

"Third comes \'Lustrous Glass Skin,\' which doesn\'t refer to the skin\'s outward appearance but rather its nature, as flawless and impervious as glass. Once attained, the body would have no weak points, capable of retaining all energy, blood, and spirit, minimizing consumption, shutting out external pressures, impervious as diamond glass, and unharmed by divine weapons."

"There\'s a saying that praises: Perfect worldly affairs are rare since ancient times, as impeccable is the glass skin without blemish or leak."

"Fourth is \'Unyielding Jade Bones,\' which involves tempering one\'s bones into unyielding jade. These bones would then possess an unparalleled function of blood creation, endlessly circulating blood and essence energy. Physical consumption would no longer pose an issue, combined with ultimate hardness and sharpness. No weapon could harm them, and no object could withstand their damage.

Utilizing such bones to execute martial arts techniques significantly enhances their killing power."

"There\'s a saying that praises: A thousand years, ten thousand years, eroding worldly winds, yet not wearing down a set of unyielding bones."

Xue Jing teased, "Why doesn\'t it rhyme when you get to the bones?"

Chen Fuguang gave a sigh and waved his hand, "What does rhyme matter? It\'s about looking cool."

"Don\'t interrupt, let me finish," he said.

Chen Fuguang gathered his emotions again, his eyes reflecting a touch of vastness,

"Fifth is \'Dripping Blood Melts Gold.\' It\'s recognized by ancient martial artists as the most difficult to achieve of the Five Realms of the Treasured Body. It refers to the moment when one mobilizes their body, their blood boiling fervently, hot as volcanic lava.

A single drop has the power to dissolve solid gold, and as blood is the source of human dynamism, imagine the might such blood could unleash!"

"There\'s a saying that praises: True gold fears not the furnace\'s trial, only the martial artist\'s blood that melts gold!"

Surprised, Xue Jing said,

"This feels less like a description of realms and more like a myth."

As soon as he spoke, Chen Fuguang\'s expression suddenly darkened.

The previously fiery atmosphere abruptly came to a halt.

"Yes, it\'s just a myth."

"No one can achieve it."

A sigh escaped Chen Fuguang.

In the past, Master Li Qi had described this ultimate pursuit of the body by martial artists with the same fervor before sighing listlessly afterward.

Putting aside whether such realms were even attainable, but even if they were, what then?

The times had already changed...

Genius can be manufactured, a few shots of banned drugs and the corresponding scientific training methods can quickly produce a strong fighter, not to mention the existence of \'Alien Implants\'.

Ten years of hard work in martial arts is not as good as one surgery.

Even if someone does manage to cultivate a Treasured Body to the fifth level, it is still uncertain whether they can defeat the crystallization of new era technology.

The path of the Old Martial Arts has long reached its end...

Chen Fuguang\'s face was full of melancholy, he stopped speaking, and Xue Jing also noticed something and did not persuade him, only remained silent.

He and Chen Fuguang were different, possessing the greatest anomaly in this world.

What others couldn\'t do, for him, was not impossible.

The five realms of the Treasured Body...

Maybe he could try, see if he could become a \'Martial Arts Myth\'.

"Alright, Junior Brother, you go ahead and train, I\'m busy with work and will leave first," said Chen Fuguang, patting Xue Jing on the shoulder with a smile.

Xue Jing nodded, "Take care, Senior Brother Chen."

...

Two days later, in the training room of the Hidden Dragon Dojo,

Xue Jing stopped practicing the Coiling Dragon Art and stood on the solid wood floor, slowly steadying his breath.

Under his feet was a staggering pool of sweat, enough to make one question just how much water the human body could possibly hold.

[You have completed a session of the Coiling Dragon Art Posture Skills Practice, Fitness Experience Points +208]

[You have completed a session of the Coiling Dragon Art Posture Skills Practice, Channeling Energy Experience Points +201]

[Fitness has been increased to Lv5 (59/2000)]

[Channeling Energy has been increased to Lv3 (198/800)]

Xue Jing\'s body crackled crisply, his overall physical quality suddenly increased, receiving an all-around enhancement.

He gripped his hand, power pulsed with his breath, and a patch of skin on his arm suddenly bulged as if a mouse was scurrying beneath it.

After moving his fingers, the \'mouse\' scurried up to his index finger. Xue Jing posed his thumb and index finger in a flicking gesture, snap!

Just a flick of the fingers produced a loud, powerful pop!

"Great! Power through the fingertips, a Finger Flicking Strike, as a teacher, I didn\'t expect that, aside from your exceptionally outstanding physical talent, you also possess such great ability in channeling energy," said Li Qi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, clapping his hands with a laugh.

Looking at the disciple before him who he couldn\'t be more satisfied with, Li Qi felt even the bald patch on his head seemed to shine a bit brighter.

"As the saying goes, \'A resonant force is worth a thousand gold.\' To finely control power to extend to the fingertips, and be able to kill with a flick, in the Old Era, that alone would classify you as an expert, honored as \'Master\' once you stepped outside," he said.

A smile of satisfaction appeared on Xue Jing\'s face as well. He smiled and said,

"It\'s all thanks to Master\'s excellent guidance."

Li Qi hummed in agreement, then said, "You\'re progressing too fast, far exceeding my expectations, it might be possible to try the next step ahead of time."

Xue Jing asked curiously, "The next step? Is it the Armor Shaking Skill?"

Li Qi shook his head, "No, it\'s the Visualization Method."

"The Coiling Dragon Art Posture Skills aim to \'cultivate Dragon Qi\', but where does this Dragon Qi come from? It comes from within the heart!"

"You have to cultivate a dragon in your own heart."
