Chapter 379: 245: Withering and Flourishing and Pursuit Operation
The full moon hung high.
Compared to the bright lights and bustling noise of the city,
The rainforest seemed extremely quiet.
Only the sound of the wind rustling through the treetops and the collision of leaves occasionally broke the silence.
As for beasts or poisonous insects?
They had already been scared off by Chen Sheng’s natural aura, and resolutely stayed away from this area.
Chen Sheng sat cross-legged.
His left hand passed through the space between his legs, supporting his entire body.
With his eyes closed, he focused and felt every corner of his body.
Muscles in motion.
Blood rushing.
Heart beating.
“Inhale——”
“Exhale——”
Following a specific rhythm of breathing,
Chen Sheng’s body slightly undulated.
Everything inside him seemed to speed up and become very dense.
Then,
Chen Sheng raised his right arm high.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
He began to slap his own body.
The sound of his palm making contact with his flesh,
Like the striking of a heavy drum, breaking the silence of the night.
Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing.
There are four realms: Withering Realm, Prosperity Realm, Withering and Flourishing Realm, and Time Passage Realm.
The first realm, Withering Realm.
When the strength of one’s soul is strong enough to cover muscles, blood, and bones,
One can begin the cultivation of the first realm, the Withering Realm.
Users can store strength within their bodies according to the methods shown in the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing.
Up to five portions can be stored.
But the cultivation of secret skills is not as simple as Chen Sheng’s body transformation, which repels the power of thunder.
Just the beginning,
Requires the cultivator’s spiritual power to reach the standard, and repeatedly experience the withered and prosperous states from scratch, until they become proficient.
Withering is a state of depletion of strength, like a lamp running out of oil.
Prosperity is a state of abundant strength, unparalleled power.
During the repeated experience of these two states, cultivators’ control over their bodies becomes refined and profound, until they are able to store some of their strength within their bodies.
At this time,
As time slowly passes,
The frequency of Chen Sheng’s slapping his body becomes more and more intense.
With each slap,
Everything inside his body trembles violently.
Muscles begin to shrink gradually.
What was once hard bones start to crack.
Even the flow of blood and the frequency of heartbeats are steadily decreasing.
Weakening.
Chen Sheng experienced an unprecedented weakness.
He felt as if he had returned to a few months ago when he just quit his job.
He was even weaker than then.
From the outside,
Chen Sheng’s formerly upright body has become stooped.
His dehydrated, wrinkled skin tightly clings to his flesh, clearly revealing the shape of his bones.
The muscles that once looked like alloy steel are now shriveled by more than half.
Now, Chen Sheng,
Looked like a dying old man, who could stop breathing at any moment.
But Chen Sheng’s eyes,
Were brighter than ever before.
Only he could see,
How much energy was wandering in his body.
It could be nutrients, or qi.
All of these were the fundamental reasons for his powerful physique.
After two long hours,
Chen Sheng finally completed the first step of entering the “Withering” state.
Now,
The vast energy was wandering aimlessly in his body, unable to find a destination.
Chen Sheng’s weak body could hardly bear the impact of this energy, making him feel as if he might explode at any moment.
Without much time to think,
Chen Sheng quickly changed his posture.
Bang!
The left arm propping up his body loosened, and his bones collided with the ground.
Chen Sheng’s eyebrows twitched.
He hadn’t felt like an ordinary person in a long time.
He gently rubbed his numb backside.
Chen Sheng sat cross-legged again.
His palms faced upwards and were naturally placed on both sides of his knees.
His eyes slowly closed.
Chen Sheng’s breathing became lengthy and continuous.
As he controlled his breathing rhythm,
He entered the inner view state.
At the same time,
The massive energy roaming inside his body began to find a place to settle under Chen Sheng’s watch.
As the energy gradually integrated into various parts of his body,
The once completely withered body began to revive from scratch.
The cracks in the bones gradually disappeared, becoming extremely hard.
The strength of each muscle fiber increased crazily.
Blood rushed, and the heart raced.
Like a withered tree meeting the spring.
This was the first time Chen Sheng had personally witnessed the process of strengthening his body.
His understanding of physical strength deepened even further.
Another two hours passed.
Chen Sheng’s body was restored to its original state.
He took a deep breath.
Opening his eyes,
Chen Sheng looked at his palm.
Next second,
His palm suddenly clenched.
A soft sound broke the quiet night sky.
A flash of joy crossed Chen Sheng’s eyes.
Keep in mind,
Chen Sheng’s current body attribute was over two thousand points.
In the past,
Even if he just casually clenched air, he could make a loud booming sound.
By comparison,
The faint sound just now was minute.
This was because Chen Sheng’s progress had been too rapid.
If he wanted to fully familiarize himself with his body’s strength, Chen Sheng would inevitably need to waste a lot of time.
With the imminent threat, Chen Sheng did not want to waste time.
But now,
Just a single transition between the Withered and Flourishing state,
Significantly improved Chen Sheng’s control over his body.
Even more important…..
After this transition,
Chen Sheng discovered yet another way to increase the speed of becoming stronger.
Previously,
When his body entered the Withered state, the power of thunder inside did not decrease.
They still continued to bombard every part of his body.
That was why Chen Sheng dared not stay in the withered state for long and hurried to recover his body.
