STAYING ALIVE CAUTIOUSLY IN THE CELESTIAL REALM AND BECOMING THE STRONGEST

Chapter 776: Chapter 776 Innate (Part 2)

“`

“Hey!”

Wang Chen exhaled loudly and stretched out his arms to lift a several-thousand-pound boulder effortlessly.

Martial Artists breaking through to the Acquired Realm open up their Dantian and condense True Qi, their strength increasing tenfold compared to the Marrow Refining Realm.

However, the Dantian that Wang Chen had opened up was far superior to his peers, and the True Qi he condensed was extremely pure, making the power he unleashed even more terrifying.

Boom!

The boulder he tossed perfectly filled the gap at the entrance of the cave.

Done.

Wang Chen patted the dust off his hands, looking at his handiwork with satisfaction.

This cave had been completely sealed off with dozens of boulders of various sizes. Even for an Acquired Martial Artist, breaking through from the outside would take a considerable amount of time.

Enough to ensure his safety.

“Kid, are you ready?”

Elder Yao’s voice echoed in his mind: “Once you start, there’s no turning back, do you understand?”

“Understood!”

Wang Chen nodded vigorously: “I’m ready!”

Advancing from the Acquired to the Innate represents the greatest life-and-death challenge a Martial Artist can face.

If the attempt fails, at best one’s meridians could be completely destroyed and their cultivation wasted; at worst, they would die on the spot.

Because of this great risk, throughout history, many Martial Artists at the peak of the Acquired Realm have hesitated to progress, not daring to challenge their own limits for their entire lives.

Even with thorough preparation and confidence, the success rate for advancing to the Innate is very low.

In the vast city of Red Cliff, there was only one Innate!

Unlike those Acquired Martial Artists with the support of family power and resources, Wang Chen could only rely on himself.

Even Elder Yao, residing within the Reincarnation Pearl, couldn’t help.

All the Nascent Soul True Immortal could do was pass on his experience to Wang Chen.

But since every Innate Martial Artist has a unique path to growth, Wang Chen could only use these experiences as references.

At the deepest part of the cave, Wang Chen sat down facing the campfire that hadn’t yet gone out.

Suddenly, he swung his palm and extinguished the remaining fire with a powerful gust.

The cave immediately plunged into darkness.

Wang Chen let out a deep breath, closed his eyes to focus and calm his mind, then activated the Unlimited Profound Skill to bring the Qi down to his Dantian.

By now, Wang Chen had the deepest understanding and mastery of the Infinity Sect’s signature cultivation technique, as the “grandfather” with him was its creator.

“What is the Innate? ‘The great man,’ it is said, ‘is he who is in harmony with the virtues of heaven and earth, matches the brightness of the sun and the moon, and aligns with the order of the four seasons…’”

The Acquired is the path of the self, while the Innate is the path of nature; to elevate oneself to the apex, to comprehend the natural way of heaven and earth through the spirit, and thus to achieve the ultimate Unity of Heaven and Man.

No matter how strong a Martial Artist’s cultivation may be, if his spirit is frail and his vision narrow, then he has no chance of ascending to the Innate.

As a Half-step Golden Core Cultivator, Wang Chen had an incomparable advantage in this regard compared to the Martial Artists of the Foggy Mountain Realm. Therefore, what he needed to do was simply to drive his True Qi in the Dantian and open up the meridians within his body.

These meridians connected to the Dantian flow downward to the bubbling spring and upward to the crown, and once all are unblocked, they will form the Innate Great Circuit, making the True Qi flow endlessly.

The most critical part of this step is that the process of opening up the meridians must not be interrupted; it must be accomplished in one go.

Wang Chen dared to attempt to break through to the Innate without the help of Pills because his True Qi was exceptionally strong; one could say he had prepared plenty of ammo for this battle.

In the darkness of the cave, invisible Qi Energy surged with Wang Chen’s breathing like the tides.

The intervals of rising and falling became longer and longer.

Time passed indeterminately until suddenly, a light appeared amidst the deep darkness.

Illusory yet seemingly real, as if it truly existed, yet also like a projection.

Yet, it was this faint light that illuminated Wang Chen sitting on the ground.

“`

It was as if he had sat withering in this place for a century, his clothes decayed and tattered, long hair cascading from his shoulders to the ground.

A deep sigh suddenly rose.

The sound was filled with an ineffable sense of profundity and emotion.

Wang Chen’s eyes flew open.

In the blink of an eye, lightning seemed to flash through the cave, and the momentary brightness immediately ignited the invisible qi energy that filled the space.

Boom!

With an earth-shattering explosion, the rocks sealing the cave collapsed in unison, countless fragments flying outwards.

They kicked up innumerable clouds of dust.

The next moment, Wang Chen emerged from the dust clouds at the cave entrance, looking up at the sky.

It was daytime, but the sky was still a dull gray, engulfed in thick fog.

However, Wang Chen’s gaze penetrated the layers of fog, seeing the scenery even higher up!

He couldn’t help but exhale deeply.

The hair on his body fell off, and then new growth quickly replaced it, his physique as robust as before but now appeared even more perfect.

“A complete transformation and marrow cleansing, boy, you have entered the Innate Great Path,”

Elder Yao’s voice echoed in Wang Chen’s mind, filled with admiration: “You’ve cultivated the perfect body!”

This Nascent Soul True Immortal had experienced twelve cycles of reincarnation in this world, achieving Innate status in each life, progressing until transcendent and entering the Tao.

But he had never managed to cultivate the perfect Innate body!

The Innate body, in perfect harmony inside and out, untainted by dust, unfazed by cold or heat, immune to all diseases and all poisons, is the most supreme Dao seed.

In Elder Yao’s memory, no one in the Foggy Mountain Realm ever reached such a state.

He had to acknowledge it.

Wang Chen smiled slightly: “The junior was fortunate.”

Wang Chen knew very well that his ability to cultivate a perfect Innate body was mainly due to his practice of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method.

The Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method was a top-tier body refinement cultivation technique in the realm of immortal cultivation, far surpassing the Unlimited Profound Skill in rank.

It was the combination of the two that created this miracle.

Moreover, Wang Chen felt that ever since regaining consciousness, the slight barrier between him and the Foggy Mountain Realm had now completely dissolved.

He had been fully accepted by this world!

Wang Chen’s mind stirred, and he asked, “Senior, how long have I been in seclusion?”

Elder Yao answered, “Nine days.”

Nine days?

Wang Chen calculated the time and realized there were only three days left until the martial arts competition at Red Cliff City’s Martial Pavilion.

By this point, Shao Hongcheng was probably as restless as ants on a hot pan!

Although Wang Chen had left a letter for the pavilion master before he left Red Cliff City, anyone would grow suspicious and anxious after such a prolonged disappearance, right?

After some thought, Wang Chen immediately went back into the cave to pack up his gains from this period.

Then he set out on his return journey to the city.

Using the Infinity Mirror to lock onto the city’s location, he employed his movement technique, darting through the woods like flight—each step covering an astonishing hundred paces. His speed had become unbelievably swift.

Having entered the Innate realm, Wang Chen’s body brimmed with endless True Qi, making such traveling almost effortless for him.

In less than a day, Wang Chen caught sight of Red Cliff City’s majestic walls from a distance.

I’m back!
