Chapter 36 - 33: The Great Dream of 9 Deaths, Advancement to Inner Essence (Two-in-One)
Within the Seeking Tao Institute.
Ning Qi was slowly practicing the Myriad Phenomena Origin Stance. Although his physical body was now flawless and had reached its limit, he still needed to use "God" to stimulate the body, thus continuously generating Inner Strength.
Like right now.
The Inner Strength within Ning Qi’s body was no longer just a few strands as before; it had gradually coalesced into a mass. In a matter of days, it could completely condense into an Inner Essence "fruit," thereby nourishing the body and greatly extending lifespan once more.
This was truly the advancement to the Inner Essence Realm.
For Ning Qi, that day was not far off, just twenty days or so would suffice.
During this period.
Ning Qi had gained a more profound understanding of the essence of Inner Strength.
"Inner Strength is formless, lacking a visage, a ’virtual substance.’ Whether strands sensed previously or now coalesced into mass, these are actually perceptions the body gives back to me, not necessarily truly existing within."
"But cultivation to the Inner Essence Realm is about condensing the virtual into the real. Upon reaching a profound stage in the Inner Essence Realm, Inner Strength is nearly in a ’semi-real’ state, not only amplifying the body but also adhering to fists, palms, and weapons, enhancing their power."
"How to condense the virtual into the real?"
Ning Qi gently swung his fist, feeling the body gently ’peel off’ and ’squeeze out’ strands of Inner Strength.
