Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Hongguang 12th year, October 22nd.

Zhang, the maternal relative, plotted rebellion.

The empress dowager died, and Emperor Hongguang was seriously injured.

Wang Lishi, the chief steward of internal affairs, held the imperial edict and suppressed the rebellion with Weiyuan Hou and other ministers.

In addition to the Zhang family, many ministers, wealthy businessmen, and children of noble families who were related to Zhang, the maternal relative, were also imprisoned, and the imperial capital was once again in a bloody storm.

Just like in the first year of Hongguang, when the empress dowager took charge of the court, she purged the people of the factions of the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince.

This time, it still had nothing to do with Chu Chen.

No.

To be precise, there was still a certain relationship.

Lv Qinghou was promoted again.

Half a month later, Emperor Hongguang recovered from his injuries. At the same time, after mourning for the empress dowager for fourteen days, he began to meet with a group of civil and military ministers and gradually took over the power of the court.

Weiyuan Hou and Lv Qinghou were rewarded for their meritorious recommendations.

The title of Marquis Weiyuan was promoted to become the new generation of Duke, and he also served as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.

Marquis Lü Qing was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, and Xu Chengxing, the former Minister of Personnel of three dynasties, returned to the court and served as the Prime Minister, continuing to shine for Dayan.

At this time, Emperor Hongguang's long-term plan was just beginning to reveal its clues.

It turned out that Xu Chengxing was suppressed by the Zhang family and had to retire and return home. On the way, he was chased by people sent by the Zhang family. Fortunately, Emperor Hongguang sent people to rescue him and he escaped with his life.

In the past, Xu Chengxing had a favor to Marquis Weiyuan. It was thanks to Xu Chengxing that Emperor Hongguang was able to win over Marquis Weiyuan and many court officials in the court of Dayan, and with the help of Xichan Temple, he finally defeated the Zhang family.

The change of power did not cause much impact.

The turmoil in the imperial capital lasted only three days before it subsided.

With the support of Xu Chengxing, Weiyuan Hou, Lu Qinghou and others, the process of Emperor Hongguang taking charge of the court of Dayan was very smooth.

For most people in the imperial capital, it made no difference who was in power, as long as they could live and work in peace.

Besides, Emperor Hongguang was the emperor.

…

The changes in the outside world had nothing to do with Chu Chen. His mind was now focused on breaking through the Xiantian realm.

Without medicinal materials with a medicinal age of more than 300 years, he could not break through the horizontal practice of Xiantian for the time being.

But he had already reached the threshold of breaking through the Xiantian realm with the method of internal energy.

Half a year ago, Chu Chen's internal energy had accumulated for 200 years, and he was qualified to break through the Xiantian realm with the method of internal energy practice.

Pawnshop.

Chu Chen sat cross-legged in the secret room, his eyes closed, constantly circulating his internal energy, and the surging internal energy surged in his body, making a sound like a surging river.

Two hundred years of internal energy filled his dantian completely, and the entire dantian was like a blown-up balloon, unable to accommodate more internal energy.

This is the limit of the marrow refining realm.

"I have accumulated enough, it's time to try the Xiantian realm!"

Chu Chen took a deep breath, cut off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and tempered his internal energy according to the secret method recorded in "Shui Yuan Jue".

Every time he used the secret method, the internal energy in his body would be condensed.

This is a very time-consuming process. It takes a day to run the secret method once.

Chu Chen was not in a hurry and practiced patiently.

For half a year, he would run the secret method every day to temper his internal energy in preparation for the breakthrough of the Xiantian realm. After half a year, the internal energy in Chu Chen's body was already on the verge of transformation.

The next step is to build a divine bridge between heaven and earth, connecting the inside and outside of the flesh, and then the breakthrough can be completed.

'Divine bridge of heaven and earth'.

It is a concept that refers to a medium that connects the human body and heaven and earth, just like a bridge connecting the inner and outer heaven and earth.

Generally speaking, most people are born without the 'Divine Bridge of Heaven and Earth', and their connection with heaven and earth is closed.

Only when you practice to the great success of marrow refining can you touch this barrier between yourself and heaven and earth. As long as you break this barrier and build a 'Divine Bridge of Heaven and Earth', you can break through the Xiantian realm.

There are thousands of people and hundreds of flowers.

This barrier is different because of the differences between human bodies, which is the so-called aptitude difference.

For those with extraordinary talents, this barrier is like a piece of paper, which can be punctured with a slight poke.

Some people even do not have this barrier by nature. The "Heaven and Earth Divine Bridge" is innate, and there is no need to break this barrier. There is almost no bottleneck from the marrow refining realm to the innate realm. They are the peerless geniuses that all sects dream of.

On the contrary.

For those with poor talents, this barrier is as thick as a steel plate and is almost impossible to break.

When Chu Chen concentrated his mind and focused his attention on the Baihui point on the top of his head, he could feel an invisible barrier that firmly closed his connection with the world.

This barrier is not thick. The Seven Injuries and Tendon Meridian changed his bones and made his barrier thinner.

Chu Chen carefully moved his internal energy and moved it to the Baihui point on the top of his head. The most difficult step to break through the innate realm is to break the barrier outside the Baihui point and build the Heaven and Earth Divine Bridge.

If there is a slight mistake in this process, it is possible to go astray and fall into a situation of no return, and all the cultivation will be wasted.

Boom!

When the internal energy is accumulated enough, Chu Chen controls the internal energy and hits it hard, and the breakthrough is a natural result.

Snap!

A clear and audible sound of breaking sounded, the barrier broke, the shadow of a bridge loomed, and countless spiritual energy poured down along the bridge of heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy entered the body and blended with the internal energy.

The internal energy then completed the final transformation and turned into true energy.

True energy is above internal energy and below magic power, a power between the two.

"After practicing for fifteen years, I finally entered the innate!"

Chu Chen felt that every cell in his body, from the depths of his soul to his body, was cheering, as if he had taken off the shackles he had been carrying for many years.

"It's not easy."

Chu Chen's eyes were filled with excitement. He had suffered a lot in order to break through the Xiantian realm.

If he had not obtained the Seven Injury Meridian and changed his bones, he would not know how long he would have to wait to break through the Xiantian realm with the method of internal energy.

This time would be extended by at least ten times.

Of course, when practicing the Seven Injury Meridian and changing his bones, he suffered a lot of pain.

"Shua~"

Chu Chen raised his hand, and a stream of true energy burst out of his body, cutting through the floor of the secret room, leaving a crack several feet long and three inches deep. The power was amazing.

The floor of the secret room was made of a material called black mysterious stone by old man Shen.

An ordinary warrior in the marrow refining realm could only leave a shallow white mark on the black mysterious stone with a full-strength attack.

"It is indeed the innate true energy, it is really powerful."

The internal energy was condensed into true energy, and the amount plummeted tenfold, but the power increased by more than a hundred times.

Chu Chen has not yet used his martial arts, but his casual attack is even more terrifying than his full-strength attack before the breakthrough.

This is the fundamental reason why the innate warriors crush the lower realms and are faintly known as mortal immortals.

It is so easy for the innate warriors to kill the marrow-refining warriors.

However.

The innate warriors are not invincible.

For example, several masters of the East Factory can compete with the Zhenbei Heavenly King with the royal secret treasures.

Moreover, the true qi in the body of the innate warrior is not endless. It is necessary to operate the exercises and breathe in and out the spiritual energy to restore the true qi. Once the true qi is exhausted, the innate warrior’s combat power will drop sharply.

For example, the true qi in Chu Chen’s body now will be consumed in another twenty or thirty times.

This is because Chu Chen has just broken through and the true qi accumulation is not enough. As the cultivation level increases, the true qi becomes stronger, and this situation will be greatly improved.
