Chapter 457 - 93: Breaking Shackles, Attaining Divine Sight (Part 4)
"From another perspective, a Land Immortal is restricted from descending the mountain easily, yet Gu Zhan, the world’s top Grandmaster, has no such restriction. His deterrent power is comparable to that of a Land Immortal!"
...
Night fell, darkness enveloping all around,
On a hilltop, Gu Zhan sat on a rock, beneath him lay a pile of corpses and flowing blood, spreading across the entire hilltop, bodies scattered everywhere.
He plunged the Horizontal Saber into the rock,
Sitting quietly,
The air was thick with the scent of blood, and cries of agony and hysteria could still be heard from all directions.
His eyes were calm, looking into the distance,
In the mountains, fires were blazing still, and the Beidou Bang disciples were chasing and hunting down the remnants of the Martial Arts Alliance.
He slowly rose, turning his back on the remains,
In the sky, a few stars could be faintly seen.
Gu Zhan slowly summoned the system to take a look,
When he saw the over three billion Experience Points, a smile appeared on his face,
[Use 2 billion Experience Points]
[The Great Yellow Court has upgraded to the Sixth Floor]
...
[A new Martial Arts Realm detected, please name it?]
...
At that moment,
Gu Zhan had a sudden realization within his mind,
A comprehension of the human body’s structure,
He saw the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, connecting the Twelve Main Meridians, traversing the Ren and Du Meridians, the Heaven and Earth Two Bridges, linking the 206 bones, where all Qi and blood gathered and circulated, eventually converging in the heart.
Thump! Thump! Thump!...
In this silence, Gu Zhan could feel the heartbeats resonating with a sacred rhythm, each beat invigorating the heart more.
Then, a booming sound was born within the blood vessels, shedding the ordinary cover, revealing the inherent powerful vitality within the blood. This immense vitality began to bloom from every drop of blood,
Gradually, Gu Zhan’s blood turned yellow, then a deeper shade, finally becoming golden!
During this process,
Gu Zhan felt his body undergoing intense mutation,
First was the brain and hair,
Then the skin all over,
Then the eyes, cervical marrow, spine, nose, tongue,
All these parts were undergoing transformations brought on by this immense vitality.
"These are the Eight Gods of Upper Scenery!"
Gu Zhan recalled reading some Daoist scriptures before, where it was mentioned that the human body is profoundly mysterious, the difference between man and god lies in the nature of the body. The lower level is mortal, while the higher level is divine.
And in those scriptures, the human body was divided into 24 parts, known as the Twenty-Four Gods, being the Eight Gods of Upper Scenery, which are the brain, hair, skin, eyes, cervical marrow, spine, nose, and tongue.
The Eight Gods of Middle Scenery are throat, lungs, heart, liver, gallbladder, left kidney, right kidney, spleen, and then the Eight Gods of Lower Scenery are stomach, small intestine, large intestine, belly, diaphragm, ribs.
It aims that if the human body is to break free from mortal constraints, it must begin to change from these Twenty-Four Gods.
In that instant, Gu Zhan understood,
The Great Yellow Court, derived from the Daoist Yellow Court Scripture,
Therefore, evolving a new path of Martial Arts, based on the legend of the Daoist Twenty-Four Gods.
Gu Zhan suddenly opened his eyes, an immense aura, torrential vitality, terrifying Divine Power, Qi Power, various forces reaching a peak at this moment!
Gu Zhan murmured softly: "The Twenty-Four Gods, from outward to inward, breaking the limits of the human body!
With the body as the Dao, forging a blemishless purity so that martial arts can connect with divinity, breaking chains to achieve Divine Sight, this realm shall be named—
Divine Sight!"
