Blood and Qi Martial Path System.
Centered around the human body and rooted in blood and Qi.
The Muscle-Refining Stage is the most fundamental phase of the martial path, focusing on honing the physical body, allowing martial practitioners to transcend the mundane and rise above ordinary beings.
The Innate Stage involves comprehending one's own Innate Qi, gaining initial control over the elements of the Blood and Qi Martial Path, and emulating the forces of nature through human power.
The Human Immortal Stage transforms the blood and Qi within the martial practitioner into tangible manifestations of the natural world. What flows through their body is no longer mere blood and Qi but threads of cosmic power.
The Shore Stage sees martial practitioners traversing the vessel of heaven and earth, reaching the shores of the mind and body.
Shore-stage warriors experience a more robust internal world, with the potential to birth multiple inner heavens.
Different heavens coexist and intersect.
Boundless power knows no limits.
This is why the gap between the Shore Stage and the Human Immortal Stage is so vast.
The difference lies not in mere numerical values but in the completeness of the heavens, the essence of blood and Qi, and the nature of the body and soul.
Ascension, leapfrogging, until ultimate transcendence.
When the quality and quantity of one's inner heavens reach a certain threshold, the martial practitioner can transcend their physical form, free themselves from the confines of the world, and traverse the chaotic void without external aid.
This is the Transcendence Stage.
"However... I seem to be a bit different from others."
After slaying the Golden Ape Demon Saint.
Wu Yingxue stood somewhat confused on the spot.
She lowered her gaze to her hands, studying the lines on her palms, feeling that her inner world was somewhat too peculiar.
Every moment, every second.
Her inner world sent a constant "hunger" signal.
In this state, her inner world was undergoing an astounding transformation at an unimaginable speed, akin to a ravenous eater, greedily absorbing the cosmic principles of the martial world.
Even the recently deceased Golden Ape Demon Saint, with its demonic essence, was completely devoured by her inner world.
No exceptions.
"It shouldn't be a bad thing," after observing for a while, Wu Yingxue, now a Shore-stage warrior, gave up her deep-seated curiosity about the changes in her inner world.
To her, the changes in her inner world were insignificant.
What truly mattered was how these changes could bring her even greater strength.
In the past.
The young lady had many things she wanted to do, but due to her lack of strength, none of them were possible.
Now, with Shore-stage strength, she could finally begin.
"Swoosh!!"
After devouring the demonic essence of the Golden Ape Demon Saint.
Wu Yingxue soared into the sky and disappeared.
When she reappeared, she had already returned to the Ten Thousand Mountains, her palm caressing the void, condensing another heavenly spear.
With a horizontal sweep.
A calm, decisive slash.
"Hum——"
A slight humming sound began faintly, then evolved into a thunderous wave.
A spectacular scene unfolded.
The layered spectacle of the Ten Thousand Mountains, as if countless rocky blades slicing through the sky, brought despair to everything in its path.
Cracked, split, shattered.
A simple spear sweep by Wu Yingxue.
Broke the mountains of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The mountain collapsed, boulders rolled down, and countless demons were caught in this apocalyptic force, witnessing their death amidst terrified roars.
"Teacher, did you see? The current me... can protect you now..."
The young lady murmured softly.
Once upon a time, she wished to protect Xu Xi but lacked the strength.
Now, with sufficient strength, she had lost the person she wanted to protect.
Such is the bittersweetness of life.
"..."
Wu Yingxue brandished her spear in silence, the spearlight condensed like a galaxy, tearing apart the peaks and crushing demons.
Finally, she extended a delicate hand, grasping through the void.
Wrapping the humans within the Ten Thousand Mountains with cosmic power, she carried them away.
After this event, both the human faction of the martial world and the demons, along with other races, were utterly shocked by Wu Yingxue's display.
"Impossible, this... this kind of power!"
"It's not like that of a newly ascended Shore-stage warrior!"
"It's almost as if..."
People gasped in awe, demons widened their eyes.
They did not comprehend the strangeness of Wu Yingxue's inner world, only knowing that her strength was terrifyingly powerful.
Thus, they began to suspect if the young lady was extraordinarily gifted, reaching the Transcendence Stage in one leap.
Such speculation was too terrifying.
Enough to silence the demonic clans.
They dared not mention the eradication of Wu Yingxue again.
However, even if the demons did not seek Wu Yingxue out, she would take the initiative to confront them.
Several decades passed.
Wu Yingxue further evolved in strength, expanding her inner world to six, each one interlinked in a continuous cycle. The blood and Qi, condensed into cosmic power, could crush mountains.
"Die."
No forewarning, as calm as a greeting.
One day.
Wu Yingxue ventured alone into the heart of the demonic territories.
With the heavenly spear in hand, she slayed the endless inferno, any god or saint she encountered was dispatched instantly, all demons annihilated in the blink of an eye.
"How dare you, upstart!"
Finally, a Transcendence expert among the demons stepped forward, forcing Wu Yingxue to retreat.
Wu Yingxue's exploits once again shocked the entire martial world.
People spread the news, celebrating joyously, hailing Wu Yingxue as the rising sun, standing alongside Transcendents as the pinnacle of strength, revered by all.
"For thousands of years to come, she will be the brightest star!"
Such were the praises.
But Wu Yingxue's actions did not stop there.
Two hundred years later, Wu Yingxue, who had remained quiet for some time, launched her final assault on the demons.
Why final?
Because she utterly eradicated the demonic forces.
Two centuries allowed the number of Wu Yingxue's inner worlds to further expand, even leading to mysterious and profound changes within those heavens themselves.
Manifesting various extraordinary powers.
"Die."
Another calm declaration.
Within the demon stronghold, countless demons gazed fearfully at the horizon, seeing a singularly dazzling "chill mark" dropping from the sky.
A colossal spear forged from boundless cosmic power.
Towering and vast, without end.
The Transcendent demon did not make a move, instead opting to flee directly, but it failed. The spear of destruction sealed all escape routes.
In despair, it, along with the other demons, faced their inevitable doom.
After this battle.
The martial world fell silent.
Without any proclamations or celebrations, Wu Yingxue naturally became the supreme ruler of the martial world.
The undisputed strongest.
"Teacher..."
Wu Yingxue felt no joy, her emotions utterly serene.
Becoming the most powerful, possessing strength that all fear, held little practical use for her.
The only use was.
Making it easier for people to survive.
Under Wu Yingxue's arrangements, the human faction of the martial world underwent a drastic transformation, becoming highly unified and harmonious, with people living stable, fulfilling lives.
As for other races, they all praised the benevolence of the Martial Emperor, pledging allegiance as divine sovereigns.
After several more centuries of cultivation in the martial world, Wu Yingxue felt that the people of the Living Army no longer required her protection.
So, she left a thought to safeguard the martial world.
Her true body ventured into the infinite chaos, embarking on a journey to chase the stars.
