Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 9: A Heart Fire, Illuminating the Netherworld
The document that Dao Ye sent him recorded in detail the key steps from scratch to the second level of martial arts.

The five realms of martial arts: body building, true seed, spiritual wandering, shackles, and mind state.

Above the mind is the celestial warrior.

At this stage, he is also called a master warrior.

Because such warriors often form their own factions and develop their own unique martial arts schools, which are enough to leave their names in the history of martial arts.

The document does not mention the realm above that.

The main practice in the body-building realm is standing meditation, which is divided into two steps: nourishing qi and opening meridians.

Use standing meditation to warm up and nourish the Qi and energy, and complete the connection of the meridians throughout the body. This is the sign that body training is complete.

The document also specifically noted in red letters that the effects of modern standing meditation are extremely powerful and harmful to the body, and that one needs to take corresponding secret medicine every day, otherwise one will die suddenly after not long of practicing.

Similarly, as long as one has enough secret medicines to achieve this state, the speed of cultivation can be very fast. It is recorded in the documents that for those with high innate roots, it only takes one month to open their meridians.

After the meridians are opened, you can try to break through the true seed.

But such warriors are the most "watery" and basically have no chance of breaking through to the realm after the true seed.

Any warrior with a bit of ambition will try to open the door to heaven and man after completing the opening of the meridians, and try to break through the five limits of heaven and man.

No matter how much the human body is tempered, it has its limits.

The purpose of the Five Limits of Heaven and Man is to open the genetic shackles and break through the limits, so this door is also called the Inhuman Door and the Evolution Door.

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, he was very familiar with this routine!

Four words to sum up——

I'm not a spicy person!
He read the document carefully from beginning to end twice, and finally had a rough understanding of martial arts and was no longer a complete novice.

Especially the Five Limits of Heaven and Man, which is known as the "first level of martial arts."

There are two difficulties in this level.

The first is to open the door between heaven and man.

The most common and universal method is to keep sharpening your skills.

Persistent high-intensity training, or tempering oneself between life and death, in an attempt to gain self-revelation.

The former relies on sincerity and luck, while the latter gambles with his life.

The second difficulty is that once the Heavenly Gate is opened, there is no way back.

A person can only open the Gate of Heaven once in his life, and it only lasts for one year.

One year later, the gate between heaven and man will close. No matter how many limits you have broken through or how much you have honed yourself, you will no longer be able to break through this boundary. This is a universal rule for all warriors.

There are two difficulties. Let’s not talk about the second one for now. Ji Jingqiu has the advantage in the first one.

The documentation clearly states that those who can ignite the heart fire during the body-building period will be able to sense the existence of the Gate of Heaven after completing the opening of the meridians.

In other words, this level does not exist for Ji Jingqiu.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Jingqiu confirmed this with Dao Ye.

[Cold Blade]: Regarding the heart fire, there is a saying that goes "A heart fire can illuminate the nine netherworlds." People who ignite the heart fire can perceive many things that are invisible to the naked eye, including the door to heaven.

[Cold Blade]: Have you ignited the fire in your heart? This is a good thing. There is a saying about the five limits of heaven and man. After the meridians are opened, the sooner the door to heaven and man is opened, the easier it will be to break the limit!
[Leng Dao]: The five limits of heaven and man are very important. They directly determine how far you can go in martial arts. I will talk about the details when we meet in a few days.

After finishing the conversation, looking at Dao Ye’s gray avatar, Ji Jingqiu knew that he was really offline this time.

He checked the time. It was two o'clock in the morning.

By the way, Dao Ye is also in Dong 3 Huangxing now.

What is he doing at this point?
……

……

"Boss, another hundred skewers!"

"okay!"

At the night market in the early morning, the mutton on the barbecue stall sizzled and gave off an alluring aroma. A bald, tattooed man sitting at a roadside stall raised his hand to add more skewers.

He had a face full of flesh and wore a brightly colored floral shirt with an open collar that revealed a large gold chain as thick as his fingers. He also had a pair of sunglasses hanging behind his head.

"This is how a human being should live!"

He touched his smooth and shiny forehead and sighed with satisfaction.

There were two people sitting at the round table on the roadside in front of them.

A young man of extraordinary bearing took a quick bite of the lamb skewers on the plate in front of him and never touched it again.

The other one had long hair and a feminine and beautiful face, but his Adam's apple proved that he was a man. His expression was dull and almost cold, his eyebrows were as sharp as knives, and he didn't say a word after sitting down.

The young man hung up the call and whispered:

"Eighth Master, the latest news is that the Blood Arhat Li Buyi of the Supreme Buddha Sect has sneaked into Tai'an City. Your second uncle is now seriously injured. If Li Buyi chooses this time to take action, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Mr. Ba sighed and said, "My second uncle's greatest hobby in life is fishing. If word spreads that he was seriously injured, it's probably just a minor injury."

The young man seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked doubtfully: "Then why don't we rush over to meet up and ambush together?"

The Eighth Master said disdainfully:
"Xiao Ji, do you think Li Buyi is a fool? This guy is a fox! He is suspicious by nature and so slippery that even the special agent of the Federal Security Bureau fell into his trap.

With his suspicious nature, he would never act rashly without investigating the true origins of my second uncle."

Xiao Ji immediately expressed her admiration: "Eighth Master knows both the enemy and himself, no wonder he has rarely failed in all these years!"

During the conversation, the lamb skewers fresh from the charcoal grill were brought to the table. The edges were slightly shiny with fat, and the skewers were huge.

Master Ba pulled eight mutton skewers together and said incoherently, "Xiao Ji, I heard that General Ji left behind a 'Daoist Canon' in Tai'an City?"

Xiao Ji was helpless: "You believe this rumor?"

Mr. Ba said earnestly, "It's not a question of whether I believe it or not. Now it's the Supreme Buddha Sect that believes it. They have obviously put in a lot of effort this time, and they are completely aiming to secretly control Tai'an City."

Xiao Ji was stunned, and after a moment she shook her head and said, "If there really is the Daozang left by our ancestors, not to mention our branch which cannot be further away, even the main branch would have to come out in full force and plow this planet three times."

"That's what I think." Mr. Ba agreed. "If there really was a Taoist canon, how could it have survived until today? That bastard Li Buyi is probably looking for his 'predestined partner' all over the city now."

Hearing this, Xiao Ji clenched her fists, her eyes full of coldness.

[Bloody Arhat] Li Buyi, who likes to forcibly extradite young martial arts geniuses into the [Supreme True Buddha Sect], and if they refuse to obey, he will either brainwash them or brutally kill them.

There has been no news of this guy since he was put on the federal wanted list last year.

This time they finally found traces here.

Master Ba said slowly:
"If you ask me, we don't need to search the whole city. How long will it take?

You can check who are the famous martial arts geniuses in Tai'an City and let's go meet them.

Let's see if there are any of those 'profound Zen' people that the Supreme Buddha Sect loves the most, and then we can just sit back and wait for Li Buyi to come to us."

Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll contact them later."

Mr. Ba looked to the side again and asked for the opinion of the third teammate.

"middle."

The long-haired handsome man had a calm expression and was very frugal with his words.

Mr. Ba looked very distressed.

Xiao Ji asked again: "Master Ba, this Zen is profound, how should we judge it?"

Mr. Ba smacked his lips and said, "This Zen and murderous aura are nothing more than the manifestation of the nature of the mind. When you reach a certain spiritual level, and practice a pupil technique, you will be able to distinguish them at a glance. I tell you..."

The long-haired handsome man suddenly put away his smart terminal, interrupted him, and said lightly: "I have to leave in two days because of something."

Master Ba frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Meeting online friends."

He was still concise, but made Master Ba pick his ears to make sure he heard correctly, then he tried to test:
"female?"
