In the early morning, a hint of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and Hu Mingxian led the black clouds into the Sunset Mountains.
After finding a hill more than 100 meters high, under Hu Mingxian's instructions, Heiyun transformed into an efficient bulldozer, using its huge body and thunder dragon breath to push out a wide mountain road from the foot of the mountain to the top.
Then, Hu Mingxian took out a boulder weighing 50,000 kilograms from the space bracelet. This was a boulder that he specially selected in the mountains and forests before returning to the village. It is also the maximum weight that he can currently bear with only the strength of his normal physical body.
Previously, in the fragmented world of the virtual and real world, there was no complete restriction of the laws of heaven. Wang Ruosong's dragon-slaying sword weighed 138,000 kilograms, and Hu Mingxian could command it like an arm. Now, under the suppression of Shengwu's complete laws of heaven, Even after experiencing the source of virtual reality and dragon casting liquid to reshape the body twice, it can only bear a weight of 50,000 kilograms. It can be seen that the difference between before and after is huge, and it is only a part.
"Phew, let's start!"
After calming down and adjusting his breathing, Hu Mingxian carried the boulder on his back and headed towards the top of the mountain with a squat and a jump. He also officially started a year of self-cultivation, which was also the first practice.
For a long time, except for a period of time in the virtual and real world fighting various monsters, Hu Mingxian has not really tempered his body in this most common way, even if he has reshaped his body twice, even if he has divine consciousness He knew his own situation well, but he always felt that his awareness of the power of his physical body was far inferior to his awareness of his spiritual power.
Hu Mingxian has always been aware of this, and before coming to Shengwu, the focus of his practice, in addition to pondering the practice of martial arts, alchemy, formations and creation of martial arts, was also placed on the perception of spiritual power. It can be regarded as being forced to ignore the practice of the physical body.
Now that there is still a little more than a year left, Hu Mingxian needs to intensify his physical training.
If spiritual power is used, this distance is not a problem. However, the difficulty is that this kind of practice completely abandons the blessing of spiritual power on the physical body and the repair of the physical body between intervals.
After walking almost 1/3 of the way, Hu Mingxian's blood was already rising, he was panting like an ox and sweating profusely, but he did not stop. To be precise, he did not dare to stop, and he did not even dare to raise his head to look at the road ahead. .
He was afraid that once he stopped and looked at the road ahead, the exhaustion in his heart would instantly erode his will.
There is an upward slope from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. What is important between squat jumps is a kind of steady explosive power. If the explosive force of a squat jump before and after is unbalanced, the practice may be interrupted. And in each squat jump, What is more important is the coordination of the muscles of the whole body, so that it can withstand the boulder as steadily as Mount Tai.
Those who don't practice don't know that the physical body that Hu Mingxian has always been proud of is full of flaws under this most common practice.
Along the way, either the strength of the squat jump was not well controlled, or the muscle coordination was insufficient. I don’t know how many times these details appeared.
Every time he almost fell off the boulder on his back, every time he was almost crushed by the boulder and couldn't stand up. Every time Hu Mingxian gritted his teeth and dug his fingers into the boulder to stabilize his body, and then It took another thirty breaths of time to adjust before I could continue practicing.
On this slope, it took Hu Mingxian a long time to stumble to the top of the mountain. The moment he put down the boulder, he fell directly to the ground. Every breath started out quickly and then became lengthy. During this period, his body was soaked with sweat. A human figure appeared.
However, after a short rest, Hu Mingxian picked up the boulder again and began to squat and jump towards the mountain.
As the saying goes, it is easier to go up a mountain than to go down. Hu Mingxian knew this when he often traveled with his parents.
When going up a mountain, people are most energetic. After climbing to the top of the mountain, their physical strength has been exhausted. When going down the mountain, due to the huge consumption of physical strength, people's energy will be more concentrated to avoid mental distraction. Accident.
During the process of going down the mountain, the biggest difficulty for Hu Mingxian was that his body had to be tilted back at a certain angle so that he could stabilize the boulder during the squat jump and prevent his center of gravity from falling due to the boulder.
When going up the mountain, you need to lean your body forward to maintain your center of gravity. This will be more conducive to squatting and jumping up the mountain. Compared with the emphasis on steady explosive power when going up the mountain, going down the mountain pays more attention to the balance control of the entire body, which is more difficult.
The moment he returned to the foot of the mountain and put down the boulder, Hu Mingxian's muscles couldn't help but twitch, and he couldn't stand anymore. He just lay on his back on the ground and began to mobilize his spiritual power to nourish his physical body.
Earlier in the black hole space, Hu Mingxian's flesh and bones were melted into the liquid of creation with the help of the Chaos Danhai, but it was only integrated into the liquid of creation. To be precise, every inch of his flesh and bones, and every drop of blood were melted into the liquid of creation. Just coming together, not completely integrated with blood, flesh and bones.
And this time during this kind of training, the power of the liquid of creation gradually began to try to integrate with the flesh and blood of the body. Regardless of whether it succeeded in the end, it would strengthen the power of his flesh and blood.
The advantage of this is that in just an hour, Hu Mingxian was refreshed, all fatigue was gone, and there seemed to be inexhaustible strength in his body, and he immediately started the second round of practice.
Originally, after undergoing such practice, if you could soak in a medicinal solution specifically for the repair of the physical body, it would greatly enhance the strength of the physical body. Hu Mingxian did not consider this, but the liquid of creation made up for this, and far more. What cannot be compared with liquid medicine, the difference between the two can be described as the difference between heaven and earth, the difference between cloud and mud.
After having one practice experience, Hu Mingxian felt a lot more relaxed in the second round of practice. At least the details that appeared in the first round of practice were directly reduced by half in the second round of practice, and the time was also greatly reduced.
Until nightfall, Hu Mingxian completed ten rounds of practice, and only then did he end his physical practice for the day.
Sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, feeling the huge changes in his physical body, Hu Mingxian's mouth curled up unconsciously. This time, whether it was the mastery of physical power or the coordination of the physical body, he had a A new understanding, which will play a major role in his future battles.
"With all the best intentions, it has been eleven months since I came to Shengwu..."
"Roar!"
Looking up at the starry sky, Hu Mingxian touched his heart with one hand and murmured to himself. The first snow fell in the sky at this time, and the crystal clear snowflakes filled the sky in an instant. As they slowly fell, in the mountains and forests, There was a roar.
Suddenly, Heiyun ran up to the top of the mountain with a giant tusked elephant in his mouth, and dropped it in front of Hu Mingxian with a thud.
"Do you have a grudge against elephant-like monsters..."
Hu Mingxian was a little amused when he saw Hei Yun, whose body had shrunk and landed on his shoulder, washing his face with his little claws. His stomach also growled. He took out the Shui Yun long knife and dismembered the giant tusk elephant. Then, one by one, he The beast raised a fire on the top of the mountain and roasted the meat.
After a feast, the entire tusked elephant was eaten clean by one person and one beast, and all the bones and residue were chewed up by Hei Yun.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Hu Mingxian went deep into the mountain forest alone, walking step by step towards the Rakshasa Flower Valley where a group of monsters called sickle-clawed Rakshasa butterflies lived.
The Sickle Claw Rakshasa Butterfly is a second-level peak monster. It looks like a butterfly. It has a Rakshasa ghost face. There are two sickle-shaped forelimbs under the face. It has the fastest speed and weird movements. Even if the black cloud is now Even with its strength, it is difficult to kill it. The smallest one has a wingspan of more than one meter. It is considered an extremely difficult beast to deal with among the second-level monsters.
This is a type of monster that Hu Mingxian specifically searched for while collecting medicinal materials when he came back from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Corpses. It is also his next step in cultivating.
The previous battle with Wuying Pavilion's Xiao Banyun allowed Hu Mingxian to see the powerful and strange aspects of Wuying Pavilion's assassination techniques. In order to face Wuying Pavilion assassins more calmly in the future, he needed to use the monsters in the Sunset Mountains. Beast Lai constantly refines his spiritual sense.
Specifically, it is the ability to respond to crises.
However, on the way to the territory of the Sickle Claw Rakshasa Butterfly, there is another practice, and this practice is what Hu Mingxian attaches the most importance to.
The forest leading to the Rakshasa Flower Valley is covered with branches of various old trees, tough vines, and a thorny jungle that is almost difficult to walk. Walking in it, Hu Mingxian held the Shuiyun long knife and cut it down one by one. The plan is to carve out a path with one knife at a time, which is also the practice of knife skills.
In fact, it can’t be said to be a sword technique, it’s just a practice of feeling how to use a sword.
After opening up the Chaos Consciousness Realm, Hu Mingxian had longed for Senior Emperor Jiu to teach him some cultivation techniques and martial arts. However, Senior Emperor Nine once said at that time that he did not need to practice any martial arts, he only needed to strengthen his own strength, and then use the smoothest Just use your own power.
At first, he thought that practicing martial arts and martial arts all required self-creation. In all subsequent battles, especially when using the Nine Slashes of the Emperor, he clearly felt that the charging time was too long, even if he had already created his own skills. Although his nine-style sword technique is powerful when used, it also has a certain amount of time to accumulate power, although this time has been shortened to the extreme due to his knowledge of spiritual power.
It was only when he made a practice plan for himself on the way back this time that Hu Mingxian was able to recall the words of Senior Dijiu and think about this issue seriously. Finally, he came to the conclusion that he was not that comfortable in using the knife, and even to a higher realm.
This also caused the sword intention he realized at the end of the battle with the Blood Flame Emperor to be unable to sense the location of the sword intention after five hundred years in the black hole.
As for this year's practice plan, Hu Mingxian made it in the most common way, understanding what he has learned from the basics. Don't look at it as a mere mortal chopping trees and chopping firewood with a knife, but there is something in it. There is great mystery.
