Chapter 8

The Taiji Yin-Yang diagram had expanded to the size of a millstone, entirely condensed from Yin and Yang energies. A vast amount of the essence of heaven and earth was drawn in by the Taiji Yin-Yang diagram, then surged into Gu Fei’s body, gathering in his dantian before spreading to the already unblocked twelve main meridians. From the meridians, it seeped into his muscles and bones, refining his physical body.

In the vast cave, a wondrous scene appeared. Countless unknown caves were connected, and an endless amount of spiritual energy was continuously drawn into the cave, forming numerous large and small tornado-like columns of spiritual energy.

The concentration of the essence of heaven and earth forming these columns, although not reaching the terrifying point of condensing into a solid substance, was still sufficient to be captured by the naked eye.

Flecks of spiritual light appeared, making the dark and cold cave seem like a fairyland.

The black water mystic snake, coiled a few dozen feet away from Gu Fei, immediately rushed into the largest and most concentrated column of spiritual energy, spitting out a black, egg-sized bead from its mouth.

This was the inner core, also known as the demon core, that the young black water mystic snake had condensed. The inner core, emitting a faint black light, flew out of the black water mystic snake’s large mouth, and the surrounding essence of heaven and earth quickly gathered towards the demon core.

The young black water mystic snake, still in its juvenile form, instinctively began to cultivate. As it swallowed and expelled the demon core, it actually absorbed all the spiritual energy from the entire column.

The black water mystic snake was an ancient savage beast, and it was not easy for it to develop intelligence. Generally, the higher the rank and the better the potential of a demon beast, the harder it was for it to develop intelligence comparable to humans.

Heaven was fair. Demon beasts possessed powerful physical bodies but lacked human intelligence, while humans had intelligence but lacked powerful physical bodies.

For demon beasts to develop intelligence and for humans to attain supreme abilities, they must go through arduous cultivation.

Gu Fei opened his eyes and was stunned by the anomaly caused by the Yin-Yang fish pendant. The shocking scene left his mind temporarily blank, and it took him a while to recover.

The cultivation technique continued to run without stopping. He had not expected that a small pendant could gather the essence of heaven and earth from all directions.

The spiritual energy continued to surge into Gu Fei’s body. How could he let such a rare opportunity pass? He began to use the essence of heaven and earth to冲击奇经八脉。

只要古飞的奇经八脉一旦被全部打通，他所修炼的上古炼体术之中的第二步“通脉”便算是完成了，随后便进入第三步“易筋”的修炼。

灵气回流体内，一遍又一遍地冲击古飞的经脉，改善着他的体质。此时他的身体正在发生细微的变化，灵气的冲刷使他体内的少量杂质随着汗液从毛孔排出体外。

半个时辰后，古飞浑身一震，奇经八脉中的一条经脉被他打通了。一道道精气流过刚刚打通的经脉，让古飞感觉如同吃了人参果一般神清气爽，通体舒泰。

打通经脉，消耗的精气无疑是海量的，而与修道者不同，修道者不会消耗任何精气去淬炼躯体，因为他们的修炼注重于精、气、神之中的“神”，直接炼精化气，以气养神。

在修道者看来，躯体不过是一具臭皮囊，最终还是要舍弃的。于是便有了元神出窍，白日飞升的说法。

而古飞的炼体过程是一个不断改变体质，不离本体，让躯体不断蜕变，从而释放身体潜能的过程。

人体的潜力是无限的，武道修炼到极致，即便是不会任何神通，也会衍生出属于武道的神通，不刻意去修炼神通，却能神通自生。

阴阳鱼玉佩汇聚而来的无尽天地精气，终于令古飞再次突破。四五个小时后，他最终打破了“通脉”的壁垒，完全打通了奇经八脉，迈入了“易筋”领域。

古飞经历了一番伐毛洗髓的过程，大大改变了体质，一身修为，竟然从原先的醒我第三重天，一跃飙升到第六重天才逐渐停止。

在突破到醒我第六重天的那一刹那，也就是古飞百脉俱通之时，全身肌肉筋骨震动之间，一丝丝几乎察觉不到的五色精气自他全身的血肉之中产生，随后汇聚于经脉之中。

“这是……”古飞察觉到身体的异样，不禁大喜过望，“五行精气，我竟然修炼出五行精气了。”

一举打通全身经脉，令身体生出五行精气，古飞终于在修炼上迈出了关键的一步。

古飞身体产生的五行精气虽然微弱，但却极为精纯，自血肉之中衍生，随后汇聚于经脉，再涌动向丹田，最后在丹田形成一小团，大约只有一个拇指大小的五彩精气团。

这是自身产生的力量，不是从外界的天地灵气炼化而来。在外界无尽元气的冲刷润养下，自血肉之中炼化出五行精气，这可以说是古飞身体的本源力量。

本源力量，是衍生武道神通的基础。

五行精气在古飞的丹田内缓慢旋转，扩散出阵阵灵能波动，上古功法的运转逐渐趋于平静。

原本粘在古飞身体上的污物被不断激荡的灵气冲刷掉，衣服也化为了飞灰，身体的强横体魄隐隐有宝光显现。

那个覆盖在古飞身上的磨盘大小的太极阴阳图，也逐渐停止了旋转，阴阳二气重新隐没在阴阳鱼玉佩内。

就在这时，古飞忽然感到胸前的阴阳鱼玉佩一热，随后一幕令他目瞪口呆的事情出现在他的眼前。

那块阴阳鱼玉佩，竟然从古飞的胸口慢慢融进了皮肤里，最后，古飞胸口的皮肤上，多了一个淡淡的太极阴阳图的图案。

“怎……怎么回事？”古飞懵了，这块神奇的玉佩，竟然进入了他的身体，难道玉佩还有灵性，成精了？

古飞伸手摸了摸胸口上的太极阴阳图，触手似乎有点温热，手指的触碰下，似乎没有摸到皮肤下面有任何块状的硬物。

阴阳鱼玉佩，似乎消失了，化作了一个太极阴阳图，烙印在了古飞的胸口之上。

想不通为何会发生这种令人匪夷所思的事情，古飞便不去想，因为怎么想也想不出个所以然来。

古飞不是一个钻牛角尖的人，修为大涨的他，很想试一试自己现时的实力，于是，他的目光便落在了那条黑水玄蛇的身上。

阴阳鱼古玉佩融进了古飞的身体，作为洞窟光源的玉佩消失了，洞窟便陷入了黑暗之中。

但是，太极阴阳图汇聚而来的海量天地精气还没有散去，虽然灵气柱已经消散，但点点灵气凝聚而成的光点，却像萤火虫一般，在洞窟中飞舞。

以古飞的目力，借着点点尚未消散的灵能之光，他能清楚地看到洞窟中的一切。

只见五十丈外的一处洞壁下的大水潭中，一条巨大的黑蛇，身子半探出水面，血盆大口仰天大张，蛇口中正吞吐着一颗鸡蛋大小的外面缭绕着道道黑气的妖丹。

黑水玄蛇露出水面的身子也有两三丈长，笆斗大小的蛇首，狰狞可怖，血盆大口中布满密密麻麻的倒钩利齿，可以想象，被它咬住时会是怎样的可怕景象。

随着妖丹在蛇口中吞吐的频率，洞窟中的点点灵能之光迅速向那颗妖丹汇聚过去，没入那颗泛着黑光的妖丹内。

“好强的妖力。”那颗妖丹浩荡出的一股庞大的妖力，令修为大进的古飞也咋舌不已。醒我之境第六重天的实力，对上这条黑水玄蛇，似乎还是有点悬啊！
