Chapter 163 Five Qi Towards the Origin

In that instant, An Qisheng was the only existence in Mu Longcheng's eyes, heart, and mind.

Other distracting thoughts such as doubt, surprise, shock, etc., were all beheaded by him.

He didn't know why this young man was so powerful, but he knew that facing such an opponent, the slightest flaw in his mind would lead to his defeat.

Therefore, he extinguished all distracting thoughts.

All his heart, will, and blood energy followed this seal as it descended!

Among land animals, the elephant possesses the greatest strength. Among aquatic creatures, the dragon reigns supreme. Both represent the ultimate in Yang and strength.

In this seal, strength was secondary. The ultimate Yang and unyielding will within was the essence of the Dragon Elephant Seal!

All other techniques, variations, and profound meanings of fist techniques were merely insignificant additions.

Whoosh!

Above the golden summit, a gale arose.

The airflow in the direction of the Dragon Elephant Seal was instantly emptied, as if this most violent and unyielding seal had created a complete vacuum!

"Utmost Yang and unyielding!"

Seeing Mu Longcheng's fist, An Qisheng's eyes flickered. The finger he was about to flick suddenly retracted.

To be able to unleash such a fist with pure physical and mental strength…

Mu Longcheng's mental state was already at the peak of Xuan Xing. Regardless of his character, he was worthy of his attention!

Boom!

A thunderclap from clear skies!

This was not a metaphor. A bolt of lightning actually descended from the gathering dark clouds in the sky, resembling a dragon or snake, striking the golden summit and scattering brilliant lightning fire.

Accompanied by the falling thunder and the shining lightning fire,

An Qisheng slowly rose.

Although described as slow, it was incredibly fast. It seemed that even the surrounding space could not react, giving the visual impression of 'slowness.'

At the moment the Dragon Elephant Seal was about to strike,

An Qisheng stood up tall, his arm raised, his five fingers soaring into the sky, then pressing down.

Neither blocking nor parrying,

And,

Arriving before the attack!

As his fingers flicked, the void rippled like water, spreading outwards.

It was like a mountain collapsing into water, first creating ripples, then stirring up滔天 giant waves!

"This move..."

Mu Longcheng's eyelids twitched. He didn't dodge or evade, nor could he. The Dragon Elephant Seal instantly flipped, like a lotus blossoming upwards.

Dragon Elephant Holds the Sky!

In the next instant, fist and palm collided.

Boom!

Lightning fire rolled in the golden hall, but no one heard the thunder.

Because the sound of their physical collision was even more violent than the thunderclaps on the golden summit, instantly filling everyone's hearts and ears!

Even ordinary tourists hiding in the Taihe Palace, peeking at their battle, heard this collision!

Bang!

Amidst the low rumble of physical impact, Mu Longcheng's upward momentum came to an abrupt halt, as if a soaring rocket had suddenly run out of fuel and plummeted.

His body crashed into the void, seemingly shattering it.

From the high golden summit, he flew backwards for more than thirty meters, crashing heavily into the mountain path.

His speed was so great that the sound of air tearing was like a whistling siren, and the spreading airflow was like a hurricane, causing the surrounding vegetation to rustle.

Whoosh!

In mid-air, Mu Longcheng's body turned red. His mind and will frantically mobilized his blood and Qi, turning him completely crimson. Drops of blood seeped out of his skin.

Even so, he still used his powerful control to suppress the blood that was about to spurt out.

While flying backwards, he used the force of the impact to somersault several times in the air.

Landing heavily, dust and stones flew everywhere. He used various force-dissipating techniques to create a long gully on the mountain path.

The mountain path was steep, and he was coming from above, but he shattered layer after layer of steps, almost burying himself into the ground.

He never spat out that mouthful of blood.

"This..."

Shi Xingwu's heart leaped. He could hardly believe his eyes.

Of course, he recognized Mu Longcheng. This world-class tycoon, the number one expert in the martial arts world with assets all over the globe, had been knocked to the ground!

"He, he's so powerful?"

Su Jie was stunned.

As An Qisheng stood up, Su Jie naturally saw him. But he couldn't believe that this was done by someone who looked only a few years older than himself.

Whether it was the three chimes or the single strike that knocked back Mu Longcheng, it was like a myth to him.

"It's him..."

Porter was also somewhat moved.

He also recognized An Qisheng, the young man who had been with the mysterious man.

But at the time, his attention was on the mysterious man and hadn't noticed that he was so strong?

Was it because of 'Qi'?

The 'Qi' that the mysterious man had mentioned?

For a moment, he felt恍惚 lost and yearned for it.

"Mu Longcheng, defeated just like that?"

Even Daoist Lian Juechen was touched by this scene, his expression somewhat complex.

Mu Longcheng was the one with the highest achievements in fist techniques in nearly three hundred years.

He was intelligent, good at seizing opportunities. In a few decades, he not only achieved the 見神 realm but also earned billions in wealth, making him a significant figure even on the international stage.

If he had not lacked morality, ethics, and a sense of nation and race, they might have been good friends.

But even so, seeing him defeated like this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

Whoosh whoosh~

On the golden summit, An Qisheng slowly lowered his arm. A series of faint 'cracking' sounds came from within his body.

Only a dozen days had passed. His physique was still inferior to Mu Longcheng, Daoist Juechen, and even that fat monk below.

But as his magnetic field began to form, he could use his Tai Chi 横练 body protection skill. The force of the collision spread throughout his body. Although it created tremendous pressure, it did not cause any substantial damage.

But this was under the circumstances that he took the initiative, seized the advantage, and suppressed Mu Longcheng's spirit with the three chimes.

It seemed like he defeated the enemy with one blow.

In reality, it was no less than a hard battle.

In the end, the influence of the Qi-depleted land could not be easily shaken off.

Whoosh~

Soil and stones shifted.

Mu Longcheng walked out of the gully step by step. The redness on his face slowly faded, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.

"What's the name of that move?"

Mu Longcheng raised his head and looked at An Qisheng, who was more than a hundred meters away.

His clothes were torn, almost naked. His shoes were long gone. His face was pale, and his condition was terrible.

But there was no trace of disarray.

His voice was slightly hoarse, but his eyes were brighter than before. As the dark clouds lowered and the sky darkened, he looked even more captivating.

"Huff!"

An Qisheng slowly exhaled. The boiling blood in his body also cooled down, and a mist of evaporated sweat emerged from his pores:

"Five Qi Towards the Origin."

"Five Qi Towards the Origin..."

Mu Longcheng chewed on these four words, already understanding their meaning: "The five organs?"

He seemed thoughtful.

Many years ago, when his physical strength could no longer progress, he had focused his cultivation on the refinement of his spirit and genes.

The viscera, the internal organs…?

"It is the Five Qi, not simply the five organs..."

An Qisheng looked down at the mountain path. Mu Longcheng's magnetic field shone brightly in his eyes.

If an ordinary person's magnetic field was like a firefly in the daylight, inconspicuous at all, Mu Longcheng's magnetic field was like a full moon in the night sky, incomparable.

Both his spiritual cultivation and physical refinement had undoubtedly reached the limit of Xuan Xing.

But the limit of Xuan Xing was not the limit of mankind, let alone the limit of the universe.

Mu Longcheng's current combat power would not exceed that of any Qi Channel expert in Jiu Fu Realm, but if he were placed in Jiu Fu Realm, without practicing any martial arts, only needing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth,

At most a hundred days, he could sweep the Qi Channels and contend head-on with the Divine Channels!

It wasn't that his physical strength had a limit, but that he was, malnourished...

"What's the difference?"

Mu Longcheng continued to ask.

"Of course there's a difference."

An Qisheng said, "A white horse is a horse, but a horse is not a white horse. The five organs belong to the Five Qi, but the Five Qi are not equivalent to the five organs."

"I would like to hear the details."

Mu Longcheng's eyes gleamed, and a flush appeared on his pale face.

The expressions of the others were somewhat strange. One second they were fighting to the death, and the next, they were talking so calmly, as if the previous scene had never happened.

Only Daoist Juechen, Porter, and Shi Xingwu sighed inwardly.

"The heart stores the spirit of fire, the lungs store the魄 Po of metal, the liver stores the魂 Hun of wood, the spleen stores the意 Yi of earth, and the kidneys store the志 Zhi of water... How could the Five Qi be limited to the five organs?"

An Qisheng answered every question, responding calmly.

Five Qi Towards the Origin was the first step of his martial arts foundation, and its significance was far more than the simple application of the Qi of the internal organs?

Its essence was the integration of spirit and flesh, the union of spirit and body.

As the saying goes, the Supreme Dao does not need complex techniques, only the preservation of truth. There are spirits in every node of the Niwan Palace, the head. The five organs have spirits, and the wisdom light of the true self also has spirits. Only by uniting the two can the Five Qi be born.

It was precisely because Five Qi Towards the Origin was a method of integrating spirit and flesh, uniting spirit and body, that he was able to use it in Xuan Xing.

If he were to take it a step further with Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, the unification of essence, Qi, and spirit, it would not be possible because there was no Qi.

This was also the reason why An Qisheng chose to forge the Wang Quan Sword rather than achieve Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.

Because without solving the problem of heaven and earth, even if he truly achieved Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and returned to Xuan Xing, his essence, Qi, and spirit would shatter in at most seven days.

"The five organs store the spirits? So that's how it is. There's such a path? What I sensed was you..."

Mu Longcheng muttered to himself, as if he had understood something.

At a certain moment, under the gaze of the crowd, the light in Mu Longcheng's eyes slowly dimmed, and he exhaled his last breath:

"Unfortunately, I won't have the chance to try..."

And as his sigh drifted away, the blood and Qi that he could no longer control began to spread.

Strands of red spread out from his tattered clothes,

Then, they dripped to the ground, drop by drop.

More and more, more and more...

He was dead.

A generation of business tycoons, a 見神 Grandmaster, a great expert whose name had spread throughout the world for decades, had died just like that.

"Amitabha, good, good. Mr. Mu, may you have a safe journey."

The great monk Shi Xingwu and others put their hands together and recited Buddhist scriptures.

"Mu Longcheng, you thought the world was a cage, but in the end, you still died in the cage."

Daoist Juechen landed on the golden summit and shook his head slightly.

Even Su Jie felt somewhat empty inside.

"Mu Longcheng, dead just like that?"

Su Jie looked at Porter, whose expression hadn't changed much: "Coach, you are all leaders of the Beggars' Path Society. Isn't it sad that he's dead?"

"Sad?"

Porter glanced at Su Jie, his expression indifferent and even cold:

"To die seeking the Dao, what is there to be sad about?"
