With Chen Chong's instructions, his mind went blank, and a radiant main god light ball appeared in his mind like a rising sun. At the same time, mysterious and profound information flowed rapidly:
Images of human bodies marked with dots and lines, simple and concise mnemonics, as well as a large number of pictures and whisperings of unknown origin, seemed to contain profound wisdom that illuminated the soul and enlightened the heart...
In an instant, a wealth of information about the "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong" flowed through Chen Chong's mind like a mighty river or vast sea, stirring his emotions.
Chen Chong sat motionless like a statue, lost in deep thought. He was completely immersed in the new world opened up by the main god in his heart, unable to extricate himself.
This "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong" was not just the nonsensical and incomprehensible gibberish he had imagined. It was explained in plain language by the main god, accompanied by precise drawings of the human body's energy circulation and the cultivation experiences of characters in the story. It was a comprehensive method of cultivation.
The initial stage of this "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong" was for practitioners to cultivate the ability to sense and control their Qi, gradually strengthening this sensation until it circulated throughout all thirty-six meridians of their body, forming a true ancient warrior's Qi that would not dissipate. This was considered the foundation.
The next stage involved the practitioner's spirit gradually growing stronger and combining with external nourishment to strengthen their true Qi. Finally, by meditating with powerful mental and willpower, they would be able to control the flow of Qi throughout their body, forming a unique circulation route and unleashing true electric current power, achieving the initial stage of this technique called "Electric Current Propulsion".
According to the discourse in the "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong", after reaching the "Electric Current Propulsion" stage, the practitioner's physical constitution would undergo a transformation. Their true Qi would become incredibly powerful, with the force of one strike reaching several tons.
Chen Chong's heart surged, repeatedly contemplating the initial chapter of the "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong".
As for the advanced stages such as "Electromagnetic Generation" and "Magnetic Field Rotation", Chen Chong had enough self-awareness not to aim too high or pay too much attention to them.
"Alright!"
After a while, Chen Chong suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"There's no time to waste, let's start now!"
The entire second floor was empty, and the workers were still laboring away in General Blood's factory and had not returned yet. This "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong" had a low threshold in its early stages of cultivation, without any mysterious or hard-to-understand elements. It was the perfect opportunity to attempt cultivation.
Chen Chong took a deep breath, quickly calming his excited state of mind. Then, in his mind, a clear image of a person sitting cross-legged with palms facing up emerged as if it were directly carved into his brain. He made slight adjustments to his posture according to the image in his mind until he was certain that his movements were accurate. He then began to control his breathing rate and eliminate distracting thoughts according to the meditation technique, directing all his focus towards emptiness, permeating his entire body, and attempting to sense and capture that mysterious Qi sensation.
To his own surprise, as his breathing became steady, his thoughts seemed to wander in emptiness, almost forgetting his own existence. In just over ten minutes, he entered the meditative state of "empty and tranquil thoughts" described in the "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong". The speed was astonishing!
Even more astonishingly, after maintaining this posture and entering the meditative state for only twenty minutes, Chen Chong faintly sensed a weak and fluctuating warmth within his body, concentrated in his abdomen, like a small furnace radiating heat.
"Could this connection to Qi be related to the Super God Water that allows me to generate Qi so quickly? Did I feel something unusual in my abdomen just now because of the Immortal Beans?"
According to the theory of the "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong", this warm flow in his abdomen represented vital energy. Chen Chong pondered, and it seemed that only the Immortal Beans, which could sustain him for ten days without hunger, could account for this.
Wait, is this Qi sensation? Have I already obtained the ability to sense Qi so quickly?
Surprised, Chen Chong suddenly opened his eyes, and his consciousness snapped out of the state of emptiness. With a look of anticipation and disbelief, he stared at his palm, a thought flashed through his mind, one that he himself found hard to believe:
"Could it be that I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation?"
According to the "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong", what he faintly sensed just now was the initial stage of True Qi, the vital energy of life. Normally, an ordinary person without any foundation would need at least ten days or half a month of practice before they could truly master the meditation technique and perceive the Qi sensation. However, Chen Chong went from successfully meditating to sensing Qi in less than half an hour, achieving this step smoothly and quickly to an eerie degree!
"Could it be because of...the Super God Water?"
In a state of disbelief, Chen Chong instantly thought of the crucial factor that had helped him escape from the base: the Super God Water. The description of the Super God Water stated that it could stimulate a person's latent potential, with different effects depending on the individual's race. Under the effect of the Super God Water, Chen Chong's strength, reflexes, perception, and so on had all reached the limits of an ordinary person. He originally thought that was all the Super God Water could do, but now it seemed that there might be more. His learning ability, control over his body, and his mental willpower, which had been tempered by the toxic baptism of the Super God Water, might have all greatly improved, but Chen Chong himself had not realized it!
What Chen Chong did not know was that the initial stage of the "Ultimate Infinite Qi Gong" focused on the spirit and willpower. His own willpower had undergone a tremendous transformation in the experimental base, becoming extremely tenacious and strong. Coupled with the miraculous effect of the Super God Water, he didn't need to follow a step-by-step approach like an ordinary person to sense and cultivate Qi. Everything just fell into place naturally, saving him a lot of time.
With these speculations in mind, Chen Chong became increasingly delighted. If he could continue to develop at this rate in the subsequent stages of cultivation, he would undoubtedly be able to quickly acquire the power to protect himself in this dangerous Red Territory!
Excitement flashed in Chen Chong's eyes. He took a deep breath and forcibly cleared his mind of distractions, once again entering that state of emptiness.
Although it was easy for him to sense Qi, in order to truly progress in his cultivation, he still needed to use meditation to control and nurture this faint Qi sensation, gradually increasing its strength until it condensed and circulated throughout his body, completing the circulation within his meridians and giving birth to true "Ultimate True Qi".
He still had a long way to go.
At the moment when Chen Chong was experiencing the new path in the assigned room, downstairs on the second floor, the supervisor Captain Yin Hu looked at the two lackeys in front of him and casually said, "So, did that kid say anything?"
"No problem, Captain. That kid is still clueless," one lackey replied.
The two lackeys smirked and gloated, "When the Skinny Ghost finishes work tonight, the show is about to begin."
Yin Hu nodded and said nonchalantly, "But you two should also be cautious. I've heard someone say that this Chen Chong has just awakened, which is somewhat useful for the General. Let the Skinny Ghost frighten him a bit and kill his arrogance, but don't go overboard."
He's also an Awakened?
One lackey hesitated and said, "But Captain, since Chen Chong is an Awakened and has a relationship with the General, will our arrangement..."
Yin Hu sneered, "I know Iron Mountain might be issuing false military orders to test Chen Chong. But he is the General's confidant after all, so it's not a big deal. Just satisfy him. Pay attention in the corridor tonight. Although the Skinny Ghost is just an ordinary person, he is a complete lunatic and extremely ruthless. Don't let this poor guy get scared out of his wits and lose his life."
"Yes!"
Hearing the words "Skinny Ghost," the two lackeys showed a hint of fear in their eyes but still agreed.
...
Time passed slowly, and through the dilapidated window in the room, one could see that it was quickly getting dark outside.
At this moment, Chen Chong remained in a peculiar sitting posture, motionless. His breathing was even, and his chest seemed to rise and fall in sync with some frequency.
After several hours of exploration and experimentation, in his meditation control, a faint airflow emerged from his abdomen, circulating around his limbs and body. This made his spirit more vigorous, and a sense of power permeated his entire being, with noticeable changes.
To Chen Chong's surprise, the process of condensing and circulating his Qi flow throughout his body was much smoother than he had imagined. It seemed that the reason his abdomen constantly produced Qi was due to the effects of swallowing the Immortal Beans. The Qi replenished his life force, ensuring he wouldn't get hungry for ten days. When Chen Chong practiced the Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong, this Qi in his abdomen quickly gathered, strengthening his Qi flow. The efficiency and momentum of his Qi circulation were smooth and unobstructed. Just two hours later, he completed a full cycle of Qi circulation!
Once a complete cycle of Qi circulation was established, his efficiency increased rapidly. With the consumption of Qi in his abdomen, the time it took him to complete a cycle shortened by several times. From once every one or two hours, it decreased to half an hour, and even as short as ten minutes. When the outside of the window was enveloped in intense darkness, Chen Chong finally completed the 36th cycle of Qi circulation!
After completing the 36th cycle of Qi circulation, changes occurred in Chen Chong's body. First, the Qi that had been continuously emanating like a furnace from his abdomen disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Chen Chong keenly sensed that the vague Qi in his body had completely transformed into strands of pure white Qi, which although weak, were clear and distinct. This pure white Qi flowed rapidly along the path constructed through his meditation.
The first strand of Ultimate True Qi was born!
From the moment Chen Chong started to search for Qi sensations, to controlling the circulation of Qi in his meditation, and finally giving birth to the first strand of Qi, less than ten hours had passed. The progress was extremely rapid!
This was the marvel of the fusion of the main god's fragments with the Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong itself, as well as the assistance of fantasy items like the Super God Water and Immortal Beans. What mattered most was Chen Chong's own spirit and willpower, honed like steel through countless trials and tribulations.
Crack!
Chen Chong leaped down from the bed, and a series of bone-cracking sounds echoed throughout his body. He felt that with the circulation of the pure white Qi, he seemed to have inexhaustible strength.
Hoo! Hoo!
Chen Chong suddenly threw two punches out of thin air and immediately felt that his strength had greatly increased compared to before the birth of the Ultimate True Qi. He felt like he could easily knock down a cow with one punch!
"Good, good..."
Chen Chong's mood was exhilarated and filled with anticipation. He thought to himself, "I didn't expect my progress to be so fast, and I'm only in the most basic introductory stage. This slight bit of True Qi has already brought such noticeable changes! Then, what will happen if I expand this True Qi to permeate my entire body? What kind of power will I achieve?"
Thinking of this, Chen Chong stared intently outside the window, with a single thought in his mind.
That is, when he expands the Ultimate True Qi to fill his entire body, can he directly kill Blood General?
"It's too early to think about these things now."
The room was already pitch black, and Chen Chong stood by the window, gazing at the dark night outside, silently thinking, "I don't really understand how strong the power of a Level 1 Life Field is after unlocking the genetic lock. The time I have for peaceful cultivation won't be long. I'll wait until I receive definite news from Qiao Jun, when Blood General makes a move."
"Just practicing the Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong might not be enough..."
Chen Chong contemplated in his mind. After integrating the main god's fragment, he had a total of 3124 units of manifestation power reserves. Transcribing the Immortal Beans and Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong had consumed a total of 2000 units of manifestation power. Currently, he should have more than 1000 units remaining.
The reason he hadn't transcribed both the Indestructible Vajra Skill and Pneumatic Cannon Punch was twofold: he was afraid of being too greedy and overloading himself, and he needed to reserve at least 1000 units of manifestation power for emergency use, such as with the Immortal Beans. After transcribing these two skills, he would not have enough manifestation power to manifest the Immortal Beans.
In this dangerous world, the Immortal Beans were undoubtedly equivalent to another life, capable of turning the tide in critical moments. On the other hand, the Indestructible Vajra Skill and Pneumatic Cannon Punch could enhance his self-defense abilities. So, Chen Chong couldn't make a decision for the time being.
"Let's continue practicing for a few more days and see how my cultivation progresses before making a decision."
Chen Chong's thoughts settled down, temporarily suppressing the urge to transcribe the other two skills. Then, he suddenly had an idea and communicated with the main god through his consciousness, receiving feedback:
[Manifestation Power Reserves: 1148 units]
1148 units?
Chen Chong was slightly surprised. He vividly remembered that before transcribing the Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong, his manifestation power reserves were only 2124 units. According to that, he should have had 1124 units left. However, the feedback from the main god indicated an additional 24 units!
"What's going on? Why do I have an extra 24 units?" Chen Chong wondered. "Could it be... these extra 24 units were generated during my meditation and cultivation just now?"
