Chapter 98

“If that’s the case, why do you still say you’re only at the initial stage of the Innate Realm and don’t understand martial arts?” Li Xunhuan, always kind-hearted, couldn’t bear to see Zhang Weihai bullying the young girl like this, so he stepped forward to smooth things over.

There was no other way; Xue Keren had been beaten to tears by Zhang Weihai, and if this continued, she might be completely ruined.

“There are different kinds of innate energy. What you understand as innate energy is simply the process of refining essence into qi, circulating it throughout the body, and opening up the meridians and acupoints to transform the original internal energy into innate true qi. That is innate energy.”

It could be considered one way, but it’s an incomplete innate constitution. Of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, it’s only the most basic essence, which is essence and qi. The body’s qi, blood, and bones haven’t changed much. At most, the quality of the innate true qi is higher, which is more helpful for nourishing the body and can maintain the body’s condition for a long time, delay aging, and enhance physical fitness, but there won’t be any essential difference.

This is also why you see innate masters as being able to be surrounded and poisoned by acquired masters.

What I mean by innate is true innate, which includes not only innate true qi, but also the realization of the unity of heaven and man, which is the so-called spirit, including the final qi, blood, and bones, which is the true innate body.

What does “innate body” mean? It’s like I can unleash a powerful attack with the combined true energy of an innate martial artist with a casual strike. Ordinary innate martial arts are like a normal attack to me, just a casual strike, and I don’t even need to use my true energy.

Moreover, most of your innate martial arts techniques cannot harm me. Hitting me is like being bitten by a mosquito; they can’t even make me bleed.

Furthermore, because I have perfectly established my foundation, achieving an innate body, and am no longer considered an acquired being, ordinary poisons are ineffective against me. I am practically immune to all poisons. My blood is the best antidote, capable of curing all poisons. The poison my uncle was previously afflicted with was neutralized by a drop of my blood mixed with wine. This is what we cultivators call innate, also known as foundation building, the supreme foundation of the Dao.

Zhang Weihao’s eyes became somewhat fanatical, because he had indeed achieved perfect foundation building and successfully established an unparalleled foundation. Once he achieved the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm and his foundation was fully accumulated, he would be able to directly step into the true realm of Heaven and Man and become a true innate being.

In the words of the Primordial Era, he is now considered one of the first humans, an innate human, but he has not cultivated. Once he cultivates, he will possess strength comparable to the innate beings of the Primordial Era.

Of course, this is not a primordial era story, nor is it set in a primordial world. It can only be said that he follows the path of the Great Longevity of Heaven and Man, cultivating the body in Buddhism, cultivating the Qi in Taoism, and cultivating the spirit in Confucianism. In the end, the three teachings are combined, the Three Flowers gather at the top, and the Five Qi converge, directly leading to true Great Longevity of Heaven and Man. He would become a powerful figure in the Immortal Realm.

The celestial physique of the Great Vajra Realm (Immaculate Body), the profound wisdom of the Taoist Great Longevity, and the celestial phenomena of the Confucian Sage, ultimately uniting the three religions into one, make this an invincible existence in the Snow World, and a top-tier power even upon ascending to heaven.

Even if we don’t talk about the Nascent Soul stage, he is at least a Nascent Soul powerhouse in the mortal world.

After all, he was integrated into the novel “A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality,” only placed in the Immortal Realm.

“A naturally gifted body and an unparalleled foundation for the Dao, if such a thing really existed, do you think I could have it?” Xue Keren’s sadness vanished instantly, replaced by a look of longing.

It’s really too powerful; just hearing about it makes me feel incredibly impressed and amazed.

“What do you mean? I was born with an innate spiritual root that not everyone in a million might have. I was born with a pure yang energy from my mother’s womb. I was born into the Zhang family, which is incredibly wealthy. I am the only son of the second wife who manages the Zhang family’s wealth. The rare and precious herbs and elixirs used on me since birth are worth at least a million taels of silver. Many of them cannot even be bought with money.”

I eat things like the Kunlun peaches, which you’ve probably never even heard of, and the crimson jujubes, just like any other fruit. As for thousand-year-old ginseng, ten-thousand-year-old lingzhi mushrooms, and three-thousand-year-old he shou wu, I’ve eaten everything I have at home and can get my hands on. Only I can eat these rare and precious herbs like they’re food.

Before I could perfectly establish my foundation, I couldn’t break my physical body or practice qi cultivation. I could only temper my bones and bones, starting with bone training, internal organ training, the I Ching, marrow cleansing, blood exchange, and acupoint cultivation, step by step. It wasn’t until I was fifteen that I successfully tempered my body. Then I found the ancient qi cultivation method of the ancestor Chen Tuan, the Purple Cloud Divine Art, and combined it with my own ancient qi cultivation method to develop a cultivation method for intercepting innate purple qi. It took me a year to go directly from an ordinary person with zero foundation to the innate stage, successfully establishing my perfect foundation. Only then did I possess the most difficult innate body, which is the legendary Dao body.

This marks his formal entry into the world of cultivation, granting him the potential to become an immortal.

What will you use to learn?

Don’t tell me you don’t have spiritual roots. Even if you did, not everyone is destined to encounter immortality. There’s a difference between immortals and mortals. You should be down-to-earth and not aim too high. Wait until you’re reborn into a better family before saying that.”

Zhang Weihao was really gloating over his success, which made Xue Keren grit her teeth in hatred.

I’ve seen people flaunt their wealth, but I’ve never seen anyone flaunt their wealth like this.

However, what the other party said should be true. If it weren’t for such stringent prerequisites, how could one possess such a powerful innate physique?

No wonder Jiang Yuyan was so powerful, yet she was still defeated by Zhang Lingyu in one move. This guy is not a martial artist at all, but a true Qi cultivator. How could a martial artist defeat a cultivator?

“What realm is that Sword-Eating Ancestor at?”

“The Great Celestial Realm, the pinnacle of Divine Refinement, is practically like the God of Heaven in this world. It’s beyond your comprehension. For a Grandmaster, the difference between you and me is as vast. He can defeat them with a flick of his wrist.” Zhang Weihao stopped abruptly here, looking at Xue Keren, who had mostly recovered, and questioned her: “I allow you to back out, but get as far away as possible and don’t ever appear in front of me again.”

“Who…who said I was going to back out? It’s just a sword attendant. Sword attendant it is. Quickly open the sword box. I want to choose a sword.”

Xue Keren believes she has good sportsmanship when it comes to gambling; she accepts her losses.

Moreover, this is a divine opportunity. If you haven’t seen it before, fine, but if you have, only a fool would run as far away as possible.

Even if the innate physique is out of the question, isn’t there still the Spirit Refining method?

This doesn’t sound simple.
