Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 77 - Activate the Life Wheel, Advance to Grandmaster!

Qin Zheng was now at a critical juncture; ideally, he should have stayed at Camp Renp and ventured out on tasks only after breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Qin Zheng shook his head and responded, “It’s okay, my injuries have healed, and I’m just one step away from activating my Life Wheel.”

Over the past few days, he had been healing while concurrently cultivating the Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique, accumulating the life essence vital to a breakthrough.

Although he had to undertake this assignment suddenly, it did not hugely affect Qin Zheng.

Once he found some time to consume the Vital Energy Great Pill, he should be able to activate the Life Wheel and advance into the Grandmaster Realm.

“Good!

The rat infestation inside Kaiyuan Prefecture, supposedly caused by a Grandmaster Realm Rat Monster, should have been dealt with by us Minor Generals, but that old Jiao from Cold Avoidance Pond is truly troublesome.”

“This time, it’s troublesome for you, and I will send Situ Qing and others with you.

They are all intelligent students in the Bone Refining Realm with great potential for breakthroughs, which should be of help to you,”

Qin Zheng nodded, then accepted the task and turned to leave the tent.

Though it was a mission, it wasn’t extremely urgent.

Once back, he would first consume the Vital Energy Great Pill, activate the Life Wheel, and then talk about his promotion to Grandmaster.

As the camp grew increasingly empty, Qin Zheng performed Qinggong, moving like a trail of smoke, soon returning to his dwelling.

Closing the door, he took out the Vital Energy Great Pill stored in a box, then seated himself on the bed.

This Vital Energy Great Pill, unlike other rejuvenation pills that replenish blood energy, was a secret formula of the Great Jin Dynasty court; it was considered among the best in the martial world and was invaluable.

The effect of the Vital Energy Great Pill was to directly replenish the body’s life essence!

Cultivation itself was a process of continually accumulating and strengthening the life essence!

To open the Life Wheel and breakthrough to a Grandmaster, it was necessary to amass plenty of vibrant life essence, breaking open the Dantian barrier and activating the Life Wheel located within the bitter sea of the Dantian!

As a Demon Slayer backed by the Great Jin Dynasty, naturally, he could exchange merits for this high-grade pill.

Originally, Qin Zheng intended to rely first on the Internal Refining Skill of the Five Viscera to accumulate a higher level of life essence before taking the Vital Energy Great Pill.

This would ensure a more certain activation of the Life Wheel.

But now faced with this situation, he no longer had the time to accumulate slowly.

Consuming the Great Pill and activating the Life Wheel would happen today!

Qin Zheng’s eyes flickered, and he promptly placed the Vital Energy Great Pill into his mouth.

Boom!

As it was swallowed, a warm current instantly erupted from his stomach!

It quickly merged into every part of his body, skin, flesh, tendons and bones, internal organs!

Qin Zheng’s life essence surged and elevated rapidly in an instant!

This efficiency was much faster than ordinary cultivation days!

His body began to glow faintly, and the internal organs seemed to have their own consciousness, starting to inhale and exhale thick life essence!

This stream of life essence did not form an essence wheel; instead, like rivers flowing into a sea, it converged toward the location in the Dantian.

Thump!

A deep sound emanated from Qin Zheng’s body.

The robust life essence collided with the Dantian barrier, trying to smash it.

Immediately afterward, streams of life essence continuously collided against this Dantian barrier.

With the replenishment of the Vital Energy Great Pill, Qin Zheng’s life essence seemed infinite, ceaselessly bombarding the Dantian barrier.

Crack!

Finally, after numerous collisions, cracks suddenly appeared on the barrier.

Then more and more cracks formed.

Boom!

In a split second, the Dantian barrier shattered!

Simultaneously, a rich stream of life essence, almost tangible, explosively burst from within the Dantian!

If the previous exhaling of life essence by the organs was like a stream, then the life essence in the Dantian now was like a river!

This dense life essence erupted within Qin Zheng’s body, instantly spreading to every part.

Qin Zheng immediately constricted all the pores on his body, not allowing any life essence to escape.

With the replenishment of life essence within the Dantian, he felt a transformation occurring throughout his body.

Viscera, muscles, bones, and even his spiritual power, were all undergoing a transformation!

Qin Zheng closed his eyes and concentrated, fully perceiving the changes in every part of his body.

Only after an unknown amount of time did the transformation gradually slow down.

At that moment, Qin Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.

The abundant life essence strengthened his spiritual power, and this time when he opened his eyes, it was as if a light flashed by.

Immediately after, Qin Zheng stood up, assessing the changes in himself.

The first thing he noticed was that his Dantian had opened.

When Qin Zheng looked inside, he saw a pond there.

And a Life Wheel, resembling a millstone, was now embedded in the pond, incessantly exhaling thick life essence.

This life essence, of very high quality and almost like a liquid, continuously blended into the pond, expanding and replenishing it.

Qin Zheng could also feel that as more and more life essence accumulated, he was becoming increasingly stronger.

So this was the Life Wheel.

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then he withdrew his mind to sense his own physique.

In fact, whether it involved the four major thresholds of skin, flesh, tendons, and bones or the unlocking of the Life Wheel by the Grandmaster.

The most essential difference lay in the changes in the physical body.

Apart from this, the growth in spiritual power enabled one to sense things within a small range, which were all the distinguishing features of a Grandmaster.

With the help of martial arts, Qin Zheng had already possessed both spiritual and physical strength, which allowed him to battle beyond his level.

At this moment, upon unlocking his Life Wheel and being promoted to Grandmaster, his physique had undergone a dramatic improvement!

He extended his hands and clenched his fists, sensing the enhanced strength.

Originally, before the enhancement, he had possessed thirteen thousand jin of strength due to the thirteenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.

But this strength would oppress and harm his body.

Yet at this moment, Qin Zheng could feel that this thirteen thousand jin of strength could no longer affect him in any way!

Having risen to Grandmaster and enhanced his physique, this amount of strength was now easily bearable!

Furthermore, his strength had also increased considerably after his promotion.

Qin Zheng carefully sensed it for a moment and realized that his current strength must have reached fifteen thousand jin!

And this was still far from his limit!

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique he had refined from the Holy Monk Relic, though incomplete in essence and forcibly refined to increase strength without strengthening the physique,

seemed to have also broken through the constraints, with no limit of thirteen levels.

Even after reaching the thirteenth level, he could still continue to enhance!

The only change was that the merit required for enhancement had shifted from one tael to one jin.

However, for the current Qin Zheng, this was not a significant expenditure.

Thus, at that moment, Qin Zheng silently recited in his heart, “Enhance Martial Arts: Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique!”

…

Clip-clop!

Clip-clop!

Clip-clop!

Several spirited horses galloped rapidly on the official road, kicking up clouds of dust.

Before the sunset, they arrived at the city gates of Kaiyuan Prefecture, where several people then reined in their horses.

“Qin, let’s go in first, and after we settle down, we’ll see what the situation is,”

Situ Qing turned his gaze, looked at Qin Zheng, who was mingling among them, and spoke.

This time, the task was still up to them five, Situ Qing, Wu Meng, Xin Yi, Liu Yi, and Zou Xi.

Only with Qin Zheng added!

Originally, this task was very difficult for them and hard to complete.

After all, involving the prefecture city, it was usually carried out by experienced Demon-Slaying Colonels or Minor Generals.

But now, Cam Renp had withdrawn many Demon-Slaying Colonels, and even Wang Weiqian had been dispatched to Cold Avoidance Pond.

Therefore, Cam Renp was somewhat understaffed, and they had to take care of it themselves.

Knowing that Qin Zheng was joining them, however, they all felt more at ease.

Especially Situ Qing.

Not only had he witnessed Qin Zheng slaying a Tiger Demon, a Bear Demon, and the Human Grandmaster Li Ye in Riverside Village,

he had also seen the three lords who used to dominate Mo Xu Mountain, with two dead and one escaped!

And in Black Goose City, he had seen the north part of the city nearly reduced to ruins!

Such a powerful man, was like a tyrannosaur in human skin!

With him by their side, the rest of them naturally felt completely safe.

With this in mind, they gladly accepted the task.

At this moment, considering it was Qin Zheng’s first time on a mission, although he was very powerful, he still lacked experience in carrying out tasks, which is why Situ Qing made a suggestion.

Qin Zheng nodded, naturally not disagreeing.

The group exchanged glances, then dismounted at the city gate and entered Kaiyuan Prefecture.

Upon entering, Qin Zheng was first captivated by the bustling scene before him.

The sun was setting, but the streets were still teeming with people, and the rich human aroma rose.

“Kaiyuan Prefecture is the busiest and most lively among the three prefectures in Huai’an Prefecture,”

Liu Yi, leading the horses, spoke to Qin Zheng.

They knew that Qin Zheng had never left Black Goose City and naturally hadn’t seen such a scene before.

Qin Zheng nodded.

“We should head to Laifu Inn to settle down,”

said Wu Meng.

As Demon-Slaying Colonels, constantly traveling, they were certainly familiar with Kaiyuan Prefecture.

So under their guidance, Qin Zheng was led to an inn.

However, when they arrived, they found the door tightly shut, and the vicinity was sparsely populated.

Anyone passing by hurried away quickly as if staying there would contaminate them with something.

“May I ask, old sir, what’s going on with Laifu Inn?

It was doing quite well the last time we came,”

Xin Yi quickly approached an old man by the roadside and asked.

The old man sighed heavily and said, “You better leave quickly, Laifu Inn is terribly unlucky!”

The group frowned slightly, listening to the old man continue, “Just a few days ago, everyone staying here died overnight, all chewed clean by rats!”

“There are monsters in this inn, and ghosts too!”
