Chapter 12

It turned out that on the second day after Dongfang Sheng made up his mind, Zhou Tantou mentioned the Riyue Quanfa (Sun and Moon Fist Technique) to Dongfang Sheng. Zhou Tantou explained that the initial stage of a martial art allows one to use it preliminarily against enemies, the minor accomplishment stage means one can utilize about half of the martial art's power, and the major accomplishment stage means one can fully utilize the martial art's power.

However, the perfect stage is a completely different realm. At this stage, one thoroughly transforms the martial art into one's own, making it fully suitable for oneself. As the saying goes, nothing from others is as good as one's own.

Once a martial art is completely transformed into one's own, its power becomes incomparably greater. Even a basic fist technique can become more powerful as the user's strength increases.

However, transforming a martial art completely into one's own is akin to altering the martial art itself, and it must not weaken its power. This is the greatest difficulty, as every martial art that has been passed down to the present has undergone countless refinements. Changing even a small part of it might ruin the entire martial art.

Therefore, the difficulty is self-evident. Without the necessary insight, it is impossible to achieve. Even Zhou Tantou, whose strength had long reached the innate realm, had only cultivated the Riyue Quanfa to the major accomplishment stage.

As for the perfect stage, he no longer thought about it, knowing he lacked the necessary insight. Perhaps when his strength reached a new height in the future, he could achieve the perfect stage through a higher realm.

This is the situation for the vast majority of people in the world. They cannot cultivate to the perfect stage, so they can only pursue higher-level and more powerful martial arts. Although higher-level martial arts are more profound, imitating them is much easier than altering a martial art.

Of course, pursuing higher-level martial arts is not wrong. A higher-level martial art might be stronger than a basic fist technique at the perfect stage. In short, each has its own merits.

What changed Dongfang Sheng's mind was the idea of completely transforming a martial art into one's own. This gave Dongfang Sheng, who had been struggling to find a way to the perfect stage, a method.

Actually, this was also Zhou Tantou's and others' fault. They always thought that Dongfang Sheng could not break through to the perfect stage before the age of ten, so they did not tell him that the perfect stage was different from the previous stages. Dongfang Sheng also did not ask.

Once he found a way to break through, Dongfang Sheng decided to wait a bit longer, not for any other reason but for the pride that just because others couldn't do it, it didn't mean he couldn't.

When he tried to transform the martial art, Dongfang Sheng realized the difficulty. The Riyue Quanfa has eighty-one forms and a fixed breathing method. To make each form fully suitable for oneself, even with sufficient insight, the amount of complex thinking required is far beyond what a child can bear.

Not to mention that even adults rarely succeed. It's no wonder that no one has ever achieved the purity of the perfect stage when they first extract their first thread of internal energy.

Fortunately, Dongfang Sheng's insight was extremely strong, and his thinking capacity was at the level of an adult from his previous life. Moreover, it had improved significantly over the past two years, as if it grew with age like others.

Therefore, Dongfang Sheng was more confident about breaking through to the perfect stage. This morning, when Dongfang Bai said he couldn't quite understand Dongfang Sheng's fist technique, it meant that Dongfang Sheng's transformation had already had a significant effect.

He expected that within half a month, the Riyue Quanfa would be completely transformed into his own, reaching the perfect stage, and that would be the time to extract his first thread of internal energy.

No longer thinking much, Dongfang Sheng continued practicing the Riyue Quanfa. Soon, he frowned and stopped, as someone was coming. The person did not hide their intentions, and Dongfang Sheng's spiritual sense was particularly sensitive, allowing him to detect anyone looking at him.

This was also the reason he could always keep his realm hidden. Apart from Dongfang Bai and Xue Qianxin, he never fully displayed the Riyue Quanfa in front of others.

When practicing in front of Dongfang Bai and Xue Qianxin, it was not only because he trusted them, but mainly because they could not discern his realm. Xue Qianxin, in particular, he still had significant reservations about.

Dongfang Sheng already knew who was coming, as he had dealt with this person a lot over the past two years.

"Hello, Zhou Tantou," Dongfang Sheng turned to face the person and said calmly.

"Hmm, Dongfang Sheng, you still haven't extracted your first thread of internal energy?" The person was indeed Zhou Tantou, who asked with some confusion and even urgency.

Dongfang Sheng nodded calmly without responding.

"Ah! You should know that the longer you delay, the more your body will be polluted, and the first thread of internal energy you extract will be affected. Even a few months later, even if you cultivate the Riyue Quanfa to the peak of major accomplishment, the purity might not be higher than it is now. What are you waiting for?" Zhou Tantou urged, puzzled.

He paused and then said more seriously, "You should know that the later you are, the happier some people will be."

Dongfang Sheng raised an eyebrow, understanding Zhou Tantou's meaning, and said softly, "In half a month, I will definitely extract my first thread of internal energy."

"Half a month?" Zhou Tantou was first stunned, then looked at Dongfang Sheng in shock. "In half a month, you will break through to the peak of major accomplishment in the Riyue Quanfa?"

He couldn't help but be shocked. In his eyes, Dongfang Sheng had only reached the late stage of major accomplishment a month ago. To reach the peak in a month and a half? He had never even considered it.

Dongfang Sheng did not respond, but Zhou Tantou was certain of this. Over the past two years, in his eyes, the mature Dongfang Sheng, who didn't act like a child, never did anything without confidence.

He said with some excitement, "In half a month, when you extract your first thread of internal energy, there's a fifty percent chance it will have the purity of the peak of major accomplishment. Just focus on your cultivation. After you extract your first thread of internal energy, tell me. Someone wants to meet you, and meeting that person will bring you great benefits."

With that, Zhou Tantou smiled and nodded at Dongfang Sheng.

Dongfang Sheng's eyes flashed, and he had a rough idea. He nodded.

Subsequently, Zhou Tantou left, and Dongfang Sheng continued to cultivate the Riyue Quanfa.

Fourteen days later, in the afternoon.

Dongfang Sheng did not go out to practice his fist technique. He sat quietly on the bed, feeling the completely different sensation in his body. The usually unperturbed Dongfang Sheng felt a surge of excitement.

Because today, he finally cultivated the Riyue Quanfa to the perfect stage. The perfect stage came quietly, with no abnormalities, only Dongfang Sheng knew the changes within himself.

If the peak of major accomplishment in the Riyue Quanfa still followed the eighty-one forms, the perfect stage of the Riyue Quanfa, which now belonged entirely to him, allowed each move to be both the Riyue Quanfa and not the Riyue Quanfa.

This was a very wondrous realm, as if the Riyue Quanfa had merged with Dongfang Sheng. Dongfang Sheng was the Riyue Quanfa, and the Riyue Quanfa was Dongfang Sheng.

In simple terms, the power of the perfect stage of the Riyue Quanfa was more than twice that of the peak of major accomplishment. More importantly, the feeling of something about to be born in his body became incredibly strong, so strong that Dongfang Sheng could not suppress it.

However, Dongfang Sheng no longer wanted to suppress it. He released his suppression and let his body change according to that feeling.

A few seconds later, Dongfang Sheng suddenly jumped up and started practicing the eighty-one forms of the Riyue Quanfa in the small room. However, these eighty-one forms carried a mysterious charm, each move appearing incredibly natural, as if Dongfang Sheng was casually throwing them out.

As he practiced the fist technique, Dongfang Sheng felt the sensation in his body becoming stronger, his blood and qi surging, and his spirit becoming more focused. They all seemed to have a common goal: the dantian in his lower abdomen. However, Dongfang Sheng no longer cared about these and just lost himself in the practice.

Boom!

When Dongfang Sheng finished the last move of the Riyue Quanfa, a silent explosion suddenly sounded from within his body. At that moment, as he regained consciousness after finishing the practice, Dongfang Sheng felt a sudden weakness, as if he hadn't eaten for days.

However, the weakness quickly disappeared, replaced by a full and powerful sensation from his dantian, spreading throughout his body.

Dongfang Sheng knew that the essence of his spirit, qi, and vitality had been refined into his first thread of internal energy, which was why he felt this way.

He quickly closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes within his body. As he focused, Dongfang Sheng found himself in another world. It was empty and void, colorless, and could only be described as hollow, yet it gave him a strange sense of reality.

He carefully observed this space and found that it was connected to many passages leading to other places. These passages also had a sense of being both void and real.

He wanted to explore other places but found himself transformed into a very fine, pure gas. Without comparison, he didn't know how pure this gas was, but it existed alone in this space and could move according to his will.

Dongfang Sheng did not explore this space further, withdrew his consciousness, and opened his eyes.

He slowly exhaled, knowing that from now on, he had entered a new realm.
