Chapter 160 The Essence of a Grandmaster (Updated from the previous book)

Underground cave.

All evil things disappeared, but Zhong Shenxiu felt even more creepy.

He looked at the blood pool and found that the blood inside it had disappeared. Through the light of the torch and through the translucent water, he could see Monk Jingfan, and Monk Jingming had disappeared.

At this time, monk Jingfan also underwent strange changes.

On both sides of his cheeks, a bloody gash was opened, revealing two faces that were both happy and angry.

On his back and on his chest, there were two huge swollen tumors on each side, which pushed open the clothes, as if they were giving birth to some weird and twisted limbs.

"What...what's going on?"

Zhong Shenxiu's voice became a little dry: "Jingfan is going to become a monster?!"

"You are so ignorant!"

Duan Mingyu, who was standing next to him, observed for a while, clasped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Master Jingfan, for your great enlightenment, and your breakthrough to become a grandmaster! This is a great joy!"

"What? Breakthrough Grandmaster? That's it?"

Zhong Shenxiu pointed at Jingfan in the pool, feeling that the world was really in trouble.

"This is the master's 'different body'. It is a level that must be passed in order to break through the marrow refining barrier. It is of the same nature as the great master's 'supernatural body'. Oh, I forgot that you are not from a big sect and don't understand this..."

Duan Mingyu chuckled without any malice, and explained to Zhong Shenxiu: "You already know the three levels of martial arts, blood exchange, and marrow refining is the qualitative change of life. If you want to become a master, you must pass this 'different body' level! "

"The so-called body transformation means turning into a monster?" Zhong Shenxiu was a little horrified. In this case, aren't the grandmasters on the Earth and Heaven Rankings all...

"Of course not. The level of body alienation is physical alienation. It must be suppressed to be a master."

Duan Mingyu's expression became extremely serious: "If it cannot be suppressed, it will turn into a monster that has lost its humanity. When the various sects find out, they must annihilate it!"

"According to different training scriptures, the 'different body' that each warrior needs to face is also different. The monks who practice the "King Sutra of Fighting and Victory" have different physical differences that our Suyin Sword Sect has recorded, which is 'three heads and six arms'!"

"Okay..." Zhong Shenxiu was speechless.

He looked around: "Are we going to protect the master like this? Do you want to go outside to buy some food and water?"

"That's not necessary. Each of the three levels of martial arts is more difficult than the last, but the breakthrough time is shorter than the last. It takes about a hundred days for a warrior to exchange blood. According to records, the marrow refining level can only take up to three days at the longest and half a day at the shortest. ..." Duan Mingyu shook his head: "It is said that breaking through the 'miracle' of a great master is often achieved in an instant, either by enlightening the Tao and practicing mystical knowledge, and seeing the Tathagata of the Lingshan Mountain, or the body dies and the Tao disappears. There is no second possibility."

"I see……"

Regarding the Grandmaster's breakthrough, perhaps there are still rumors among some forces in the world, but only a few of the eight major forces know about the description of the Great Grandmaster of the Heavenly Ranking and the divine warrior.

Zhong Shenxiu seized the opportunity and immediately asked about it.

Duan Mingyu laughed: "I don't know much about the level of divine connection and the breakthrough of supernatural powers. I just heard from my elders that it takes understanding, enlightenment, and a great opportunity to see the mysterious 'Tao'. Of course, Shi The master of the Buddhist temple can see Lingshan Tathagata..."

"And once they break through the barrier of divine connection, all the great masters on the Tianbang list have extraordinary supernatural powers, their spirits become extremely powerful, and they have all kinds of strange abilities, such as locking the soul from thousands of miles away. As long as they remember a person's breath, even if they run away thousands of miles, they can still... In addition, a single look can defeat thousands of troops, so when it reaches the level of the Heavenly Ranking, a sea of ​​​​human siege is absolutely ineffective, even a group of Human Ranking and Earth Ranking Grandmasters, there is nothing they can do against them!"

"That's right..."

After Zhong Shenxiu heard this, he compared it with what he knew, and realized that Duan Mingyu had not deceived him.

But at the same time, he was even more horrified.

‘If blood transfusion only enhances the vitality of alien species, the master is the physical mutation! That's fine... The so-called "enlightenment" of the great master's divine passage is to see the "Tathagata" on the Lingshan Mountain. What are the "Tao" and "Tathagata"? hehe……'

‘I understand… Although the martial arts in this world are strange and bizarre, they still have some truth to them. Without the step of cultivating monks to condense Gangsha, how can they reach the sky in one step? Naturally, the only way to turn to the power of evil gods is to attract the attention of certain beings and use their power to condense magical powers, right? ’

Not to mention that this must be very dangerous.

Just based on Zhong Shenxiu's occult knowledge, there is a huge difficulty.

Anyone who comes into contact with that kind of existence will inevitably undergo unimaginable changes in their spirit if their own personality is not sufficient.

For ordinary warriors, this may be a good thing that they can only dream of.

But for Zhong Shenxiu, he definitely doesn't want this.

After all, the changes in the body are nothing more than that. After leaving the world, this body is not needed anyway.

But if the spirit also undergoes a qualitative change, it will definitely affect the ontology of the main world!

"It's over... Even if I have the chance, I don't dare to break through the barrier of divine connection... Because it's asking for death... No, being targeted by that kind of existence is worse than death!"

The warrior's gateway to the gods is actually to face the ancient gods directly!

Once he realizes this, the martial arts in this world will no longer have secrets from Zhong Shenxiu.

Exchange blood - enhance vitality!

Refining the marrow - a qualitative change in life!

Theosophy - mental mutation!

The three levels of martial arts are so simple and unpretentious.

But at the same time, there is great distress.

"Wrong... always wrong..."

"That Jingming... he shouted may be Bodhidharma. He may have been tricked by the contemporary holy monk Bodhidharma... or he may have seen another side of the holy monk and learned about the person whom Shifo Temple has always worshiped—— Big Demon! Or you can call it 'Da Mo'! Anyway, humans can't really name that kind of existence."

"At that time, the first generation of holy monks in Shifo Temple probably met 'Da Mo' when they broke through the spiritual level, so they took this name and passed it down. It just has a wrong accent..."

"And this guy Jingming is a little unlucky. Maybe he saw the true face of the contemporary holy monk and was frightened crazy, or became obsessed?"

"Shifo Temple only kept surveillance on this. After observing that Jingming was further possessed by the devil, it sent Jingfan to deal with it, because for Jingfan, this may be an opportunity for him to break through the master?"

"I probably understand the ins and outs of this incident, but..."

"It's over. It's impossible for me to die and face the ancient gods...that means...I will never be able to break through the level of divine connection, I will never be able to be listed on the heavenly list, and I will not be able to fulfill my obsession. I will stay in this world forever?"

"Why don't you just commit suicide and see if you can go back? This world is so dangerous... I want to go home..."
