1novels Chapter 426
Chapter 426
Qiao Mu was quite puzzled by the strange side effects of the Blood and Flesh Furnace.
But what he lacked the least was time.
It could even be said that in this long dream of immortality that lasted for more than two thousand years, he even hoped that some unexpected variables would appear in this dream.
This unknown physical deformation was the unknown variable.
So in the next few decades, Qiao Mu practiced martial arts as usual while studying the Blood and Flesh Thousand Changes and the forbidden technique of the Blood and Flesh Furnace.
His Blood and Flesh Thousand Changes had been perfected, and his martial arts foundation was very sufficient.
So this question did not bother him for too long.
"The reason should be the difference in thinking."
Qiao Mu's mind moved, and the surrounding dream changed, returning to many years ago, to the mansion of City Lord Guo, his life and death friend.
At the beginning, he and the bandit king Song He and others took the original version of "Blood and Flesh Hundred Changes" from the secret room in City Lord Guo's house.
This method of changing flesh and blood was originally created by the martial saint, and then perfected by Wu Qizheng. It uses the overly powerful "spirit" of the martial arts warrior to finely manipulate and adjust the changes in the flesh and blood of the body.
In other words, it uses one's own consciousness to manipulate and adjust the body.
The "Blood and Flesh Thousand Changes" by Wu Qizheng that Qiao Mu later obtained continued this concept, but it focused more on stimulating the self-healing of the body.
But this martial arts forbidden technique "Blood and Flesh Baking Furnace" is different.
"Use blood and qi as firewood, and the body as a baking furnace to stimulate the changes in the body and break the limitations of the body..."
"If the changes in the flesh and blood are the pursuit of fine manipulation of every inch of flesh and blood, or even every cell in the body."
"Then this forbidden technique, the Blood and Flesh Baking Furnace, seems to have abandoned this concept. It no longer pursues complete control of the body, but burns blood and qi to break the limit."
"And the price should be the uncontrollable deformation of the body?"
Qiao Mu gradually came to this conclusion.
He was slightly disappointed. This martial arts forbidden technique, the Blood and Flesh Furnace, was indeed a forbidden technique that stimulated the growth of the body and was quite powerful, but from his martial arts knowledge, it was not the right way.
The perfect level of Blood and Flesh Thousand Transformations allowed Qiao Mu to expand his body to a height of nearly ten meters like a small giant.
But this was the limit.
The martial arts forbidden technique of the Martial Saint, the Blood and Flesh Furnace, could allow the body to break this limit and be further strengthened.
As for the price, it should be the loss of precise control over the body, accompanied by the risk of organ distortion.
In other words, although the Blood and Flesh Distortion was powerful, it should be difficult to sustain and the risk was relatively high.
But it was strong, but it was impossible to say that it was dozens of times stronger and could deal with the Qingming Cave Heaven Small World with this Blood and Flesh Furnace.
"It's not enough. Far from enough."
"We have to find other ways."
In the deep dream, distracting yourself to do multiple things is just basic operation.
Qiao Mu did not give up the "Blood and Flesh Baking Furnace", but he practiced this forbidden technique together with the Human Dao Sutra, and focused on exploring other possibilities.
"I have a full 2,500 years. With such a long time, I will definitely be able to explore some method..." Qiao Mu was still confident.
After all, what he was best at was to use a long time to endure and force a method.
.....
Five hundred years later.
"What a fart method."
Qiao Mu lay down in the desert in his dream, and his body left a big wood mark on the sand.
Before he died in battle, he was already a martial arts legend in the world, a martial arts master who broke the cognition of the world and even the cognition of immortal cultivators.
With his martial arts, it was already very difficult to make further progress, let alone become dozens of times stronger at once.
In these five hundred years.
Qiao Mu exhausted all kinds of methods, and went through all the martial arts that he had practiced and not practiced in the villa, but he did not find a way to become dozens of times stronger.
It was different from when he was studying the Human Dao Sutra and the Divine Transformation Technique.
At that time, Qiao Mu saw a glimmer of possibility, and then spent a lot of time and died hundreds and thousands of times to expand this glimmer of hope into a reality that could be realized.
But it is different now.
He has tried all kinds of martial arts forbidden techniques and other martial arts, but it is precisely because of this that he knows how difficult it is to go further.
He has a lot of time.
But even if he spends these 2,500 years, I am afraid it is impossible to forcibly block the sinking Qingming Cave Heaven Small World.
"If I can't forcibly block it... then why should I forcibly block it?"
Qiao Mu suddenly had this thought in his mind.
He didn't want to give up Run directly, but he had the idea of taking shortcuts.
"It is impossible to forcibly block it."
"That Qingming Cave Heaven Small World, I am afraid that even a Taoist master like the head of Xuantian Sect can't forcibly block it with his own strength."
"Forcing it is not advisable."
"Then what if it is a shortcut?"
The four paths of martial artists are the gods of strength and skills.
If we say that physical strength, qi power, and spirit are the strength of a warrior.
Then the so-called martial arts skills are the skills of how to maximize the strength that a warrior possesses.
When it comes to martial arts skills and super-skills, we have to mention...
"The sword-breaking sword technique of Jian Zexian, or Wu Mingkong's transformation skills?"
Qiao Mu has ruled out the former during these hundreds of years.
As for the latter... it is indeed a trick.
"If I practice this strength transformation skill to the extreme, can I also dissolve the small world in the cave?"
When this idea first appeared, Qiao Mu thought it was ridiculous.
But after thinking about it carefully, this idea grew like a weed in Qiao Mu's heart.
After exhausting all possibilities for the past five hundred years, there was no solution, and there was no hope... And this ridiculous idea was already the most promising method that Qiao Mu could think of.
............
"Hold hands! Use strength!"
In the Taoyuan Villa in the dream.
Qiao Mu made contact with Wu Mingkong's wrist, and then Wu Mingkong raised his hand to strike with a palm. Qiao Mu raised his hand to block Wu Mingkong's fist like lightning, turned sideways, and hit her on the back with an elbow, knocking her down. Knocked away.
Qiao Mu once experienced her energy transformation skills with Wu Mingkong.
Although this energy transformation skill is powerful, it is not very practical for a big martial artist like Qiao Mu.
Compared with Wu Mingkong, a peerless genius who is chased by God to feed him, Qiao Mu can only rely on a lot of practice if he wants to develop such skills.
However, time has always been his good friend.
"It took ten years to transform the energy into a small success."
"For a hundred years, Hua Jin can be used freely in actual combat. Without physical contact, he can complete listening to Jin and Hua Jin in the blink of an eye. Wu Mingkong showed off this kind of martial arts before."
"For four hundred years, I have become proficient in transforming fists, feet, and weapons into energy. Think of this as the third level of energy-transforming kung fu."
"Treat weapons as an extension of your hands and feet, and use your strength to get them at your fingertips."
"At this point, it can be regarded as the pinnacle of what ordinary people can understand."
"The original Huajin Grandmaster Qiao Jinyin may be such a powerful Grandmaster in the eyes of the world, right?"
"Eight hundred years..."
Eight hundred years was the length of Qiao Mu's longest dream of immortality before.
But this time, after eight hundred years of hard training, Qiao Mu's strength-building skills have made further progress.
"The fourth level of transforming energy, transforming energy in the air."
"Even if it is not a tangible weapon, but an intangible volleying palm force, it can be transformed by hand. In the eyes of a martial artist, it is also incredible."
.............
Fifteen hundred years later.
In the Taoyuan Villa in the dream.
The figure of Qiao Mu was like a butterfly wearing flowers, walking through the battle formation composed of three hundred veterans.
The three hundred old soldiers in the dream also cooperated in a tacit understanding. The three hundred people were as one, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.
The swords coming from all around, the rain of arrows thrown from the air, and even the real-power palm struck from across the air by Li Changshi, a first-grade real-power martial artist who came seven or eight steps away...
No matter how Qiao Mu dodges, five or six knives and guns stab at him from all directions at every moment, leaving no room for breathing.

Qiao Mu, on the other hand, was spinning like a top in the battle formation, and the stabbing swords and spears were always deflected inexplicably by Qiao Mu's King Qin sword.
And he used this force to spin like the wind in the battle formation. He raised his sword and slashed with sword light, which penetrated the middle of the battle formation.
Qiao Mu stood on the battlefield and looked at the messy battlefield around him. As he thought, the old soldiers who had been beheaded just now gradually recovered and returned to the original battle formation of 300 people.
This is the battlefield in his heart, which can be created out of thin air based on his own memory and imagination.
However, his fight with the three hundred old soldiers did not happen out of thin air.
During the time when Qiao Mu was teaching martial arts in Taoyuan Villa as "Qiao Xin", he actually had many fights with Li Changshi, Hai Siyuan and other three hundred veterans.
"After practicing martial arts such as the Lingxi Sound Transmission Technique and the Military Lingxi Jue, the three hundred Immortal Immortal Army cooperated seamlessly, but if they face a single powerful enemy like me or the Immortal Sect Yuanying Elder, they are still unable to cope. "
"If there is a special method of combined attack..."
This thought came and went, and it was not Qiao Mu's focus now.
With a thought, the old soldiers around him disappeared at the same time, and then appeared in front of them was the great elder of Xuantian Sect, Jiuyang.
The great elder Jiuyang once burned a tree to death with the "Nanming Lihuo", so it was considered a fatal friendship.
At this moment, when he saw Grand Elder Jiuyang clenching his hand, a crimson flame suddenly surged in, threatening to engulf the whole body of the tree.
The last time he woke up from his dream, Qiao Mu actually had no way of stopping Elder Jiuyang's "Nan Ming Li Huo".
He relied on force to resist. He used the transformation of his physical body using the Blood Yuan Gong, plus the perfection-level Thousand Transformations of Blood and Flesh to manipulate the physical body to repair it. He spent a lot of energy and blood to resist.
But this time, he had a different solution.
"In the second thousand years since we entered the dream of immortality, and in the fifteen hundred years since we have studied Hua Jin, Hua Jin has also reached the fifth level that was beyond our comprehension at first."
Qiao Mu's figure moved, and King Qin's sword was drawn out in his hand.
As he shook his long sword, light energy surged out from his whole body and enveloped the sword body.
"Transform strength and change the stars!"
His figure moved, and while he spun around, he slashed out with King Qin's sword.
At this moment, the red Nanming Lihuo was like the water surface scratched by branches. Apart from the ripples, a water wave also followed the force of the branches, and the direction deviated...
call out!
The Nanming Lihuo returned like a spring swallow, directly hitting the stunned elder Jiuyang, and instantly covered his whole body, turning him into ashes.
Qiao Mu leaned on the Qin Wang Sword in his hand, watching this scene from afar, with a slightly tired look on his face.
To achieve this step, it takes a lot of mental effort, even for him.
"Two thousand years have passed."
"During this long time, I have cultivated Hua Jin to the pinnacle and incredible level."
"Don't talk about the invisible Qi Jin of a warrior, even the magic of the immortal way can be transformed by the sword in my hand."
"Sometimes it's not easy for me to understand, is this really Hua Jin, is it really a martial art?"
Qiao Mu stood in place, looking up at the sky, the towering mountain that blocked the sky.
"In these years, my Humanity Sutra has broken through to the eleventh level, and my physical body has also broken through."
"The Humanity Sutra is a method of accumulating little by little to form a mountain. There should be no bottleneck in the future."
"But even so, even if this transformation skill is cultivated to this level..."
As his mind moved, the towering mountain in the sky suddenly pressed down.
And Qiao Mu's figure suddenly expanded and grew larger, raised the Qin Wang Sword in his hand, and all his energy burst out of his body.
"Blood Flesh Thousand Changes·Blood Flesh Baking Furnace!"
"Transformation·The Stars Turn!"
The next moment, the towering mountain hesitated for a moment, and seemed to deviate a little, and then there was a loud bang, and the stone mountain under Qiao Mu's feet suddenly collapsed, and some blood and broken meat flowed down with the cracks in the stone mountain.
The next moment, Qiao Mu's body had recovered and he lay down on the stone mountain in a big letter shape.
There was no expression on his face, and he was full of woodenness.
With books, life is long; without books, life is short.
Two thousand years is actually a very long time, even equivalent to the length of a civilization from its rise to its demise.
Previously, Qiao Mu had always had a big goal in front of him, which allowed him to temporarily suppress his distracting thoughts.
In the past, he also spent his dream of immortality in this way.
But this time, his goal was too outrageous, so that he spent five hundred years without being able to find a solution, and spent two thousand years before realizing that even taking shortcuts was a luxury.
So far.
After exhausting a thousand tricks, he realized that it was still like an ant trying to shake a tree.
At this point, the fatigue, regret and other emotions that he had been able to suppress in his heart before also surged up like a tide, almost drowning him.
Human willpower is like muscle. Although it can be strengthened by exercise, it also has a physiological limit.
Those who exercise in the gym for one or two hours every day and squeeze their physical strength to the limit are professional athletes.
But if you exercise for twenty hours every day and persist for ten or twenty years, this is not the level that the King of Hell will praise you for your good health, but it is already a fantasy.
At this point, it naturally has nothing to do with concepts such as perseverance, persistence, and willpower, because this is far beyond the physiological limit and is not subject to human will.
At this moment, Qiao Mu's mind was full of thoughts like a tide, but his face was only wooden, with a kind of fatigue that permeated from the depths of his soul.
"No, there are still five hundred years, there is still hope, another mouthful of chicken soup!"
Qiao Mu, who was lying on the stone mountain, had a thought, and the surrounding scenery changed again.
The scene in the dream changed. At this moment, he was still on the stone mountain of Qingming Valley, but there was already a large crowd of people in this valley.
This was the scene he experienced in reality before the Qingming Cave Heaven Small World pressed down.
There were tens of thousands of spiritual farmers, and in Qiao Mu's field of vision, there were countless mountains and plains.
There were also Qiao Canxue, Lingling Shangren, and the little Jingwei bird holding a fat cat standing at the entrance of the valley, looking at each other from a distance.
At that moment, Qiao Mu, who was holding up the towering mountain like an ant trying to shake a tree, was literally the center of attention.
Qiao Mu, who cut through the valley formation with a sword, was the hope in the eyes of these spiritual farmers. At this moment of catastrophe, countless eager eyes were looking at him.
The memory reappeared at this moment, in fact, Qiao Mu tried to draw strength from his own memory and give himself a big sip of chicken soup.
But this time...
"I can't get excited at all." Qiao Mu stared at the tens of thousands of eyes expressionlessly.
For a long time.
He sighed slightly, and the dream scene was like broken glass, everything turned into misty water mist, and a vast expanse of white.
In the stories of the storyteller in Tingchao Tower.
There is always such a group of brilliant heroes, they are indomitable, their will is as firm as iron, no matter what kind of hardship they experience, they can overcome difficulties and hardships.
The heroes may die in defeat, but they will not end their lives in self-pity.
Even if he experienced some twists and turns, such as the destruction of his family, the betrayal of his friends and relatives, and even lost hope for a time...
Listeners who often go to teahouses to listen to storytelling also know that this is only temporary, just a little trick of the storyteller.
The heroes will eventually overcome the difficulties and reach the end of the brilliant end, drawing an end to the story.
"If I can become such a brilliant person, it would be great."
Qiao Mu had this thought in his mind.
It's a pity that he is not a saint who saves the suffering, nor is he an indomitable perfect hero.
In his long life of more than 4,000 years, the total length of time he spent complaining and wasting time is probably longer than the life of an ordinary person.
It's just that as a prisoner of the immortal lock, he has the ability to live forever and has been walking on a one-way street.
If he goes one step further, there will be more deaths and an endless dream of immortality.
If he takes a step back, the heart of martial arts that he has held on to until now will most likely collapse.
So no matter how he wavers, he has to rush himself back to the right path.
It's just that this dream of immortality is too long, and his goal is indeed a bit unrealistic.
In this era of declining spiritual energy, no one can resist the Qingming Cave Heaven small world created by the True Immortal, and naturally he should be included.
"An ant trying to shake a tree, don't you overestimate your own ability?"
Qiao Mu lowered his eyelids and began to think about how to spend the last five hundred years. By then, he should be 4935 years old.
Of course he will not die, but he is not sure whether he is still conscious at the age of 4935...
And he doesn't know at this time.
At this time, the head of Xuantian Sect had already manipulated the Qingming Cave Heaven Small World to disappear, and disappeared outside this world again...
...
PS: I went to bed at 11 o'clock yesterday, which was quite early for me, and then woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning. The total length of sleep was five or six hours, the same as before. I fell asleep at 4 o'clock before, and now I wake up at 4 o'clock. It feels quite strange.
PS2: This book will not add a world view of the system of restraint. This point has been mentioned once at the end of the previous chapter. In fact, I will say it again now.
