Five Elements Fist had always been a skill Wang Sheng highly valued.
This was because the Inner Core Skill was inseparably linked to the five internal organs.
The Dantian was located near the kidneys, and the source of Essence Qi was the kidneys. The initial “Kidney Interacting Qi” in Refining Essence to Qi wasn’t just a casual mention, representing the significance of the internal organs in cultivation.
Wang Sheng wasn’t clear on how others’ Qi Blood Power came into being, but his own Qi Blood Power definitely originated near the kidneys, even though at the time he didn’t understand cultivation like he did now, but he still remembered the circumstances of its birth.
Moreover, the power of the internal organs would all return to the source, converging at the initial source, the kidneys.
It was because of this that the stronger the internal organs, the stronger the Qi Blood Power born from the kidneys.
Wang Sheng’s twice Breakthrough of Five Elements Fist had strengthened his internal organs, not only allowing his body to store more power but also smoothing the progress of his Inner Core Skill cultivation.
He was now at the Refining stage, where strong internal organs made the coalescence of great medicines extremely smooth; if he entered a state of internal observation, he could see a continuous stream of power gathering at the kidneys and then entering the Dantian, forming new Qi Blood Power.
This Qi Blood Power would quickly merge with the “Divine,” adding layers to the formation of great medicines.
Now that Five Elements Fist had undergone three Breakthroughs, he could guess that the new power must have something to do with the internal organs, but exactly what it was required further practice to genuinely feel.
Without hesitation, he straightaway commenced practicing the sequences of Five Elements Fist.
As he delved deeper into the boxing techniques, he felt his internal organs seemingly being enhanced once again, the power contained within them even more astonishing.
He even suspected that if someone were to kill him, the eruption of power contained in the internal organs might enable him to take the enemy down with him.
Of course, Wang Sheng would never let such an event occur.
This was one of the effects that had already manifested, but after three Breakthroughs, this effect had greatly enhanced and could be distinctly felt.
As time progressed, so did the depth of his practice.
A new progress bar appeared.
“Five Internal Organs Containing God initiates: 1%”
On seeing this progress bar, Wang Sheng felt a jolt in his heart.
Five Internal Organs Containing God was a reference to the internal organs, each inherently possessing a divine master.
These were not any creatures or conscious beings.
Five Internal Organs Containing God actually represented the manifestation of his own will; when his internal organs reached a certain strength, his spirit, soul, mind, and will would separately reside within the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys.
These entities were not illusory; they would appear in the form of Essence Qi, concealed within the internal organs, serving as the divine masters of the internal organs.
It was essentially Wang Sheng’s will uniting his entire body, tightening the connections throughout, aiding him in journeying farther on the path of cultivation.
The Five Internal Organs Containing God in Wang Sheng’s body naturally took the form of Qi Blood Power.
Moreover, the Five Internal Organs Containing God also possessed their own names.
Heart Containing God led the body, named Dan Yuan, sustaining the body continuously, the Qi of fire.
Lung Containing Soul, where the lungs contained the Qi that was the Yue Qi, the Qi of metal, its color white, since white signified Hao, thriving and flourishing as Hua, thus named Hao Hua.
Liver Containing Soul, the soul resembling Azure Dragon, representing the wood of the east, unpredictable, like smoke and fog, thus named Dragon Smoke.
Spleen Containing Mind, located at the center, representing the Earth of the central palace, Huangting, the Earth Qi the constant Qi of all seasons, thus named Chang Zai.
Kidney Containing Will, ruling the water Qi, deep and black, obscure and profound, thus named Xuan Ming.
Dan Yuan, Hao Hua, Dragon Smoke, Chang Zai, Xuan Ming, these were the names of the Five Internal Organs Containing God.
They were born within the human body, based on the body’s blood Essence Qi, uniting the whole body.
Wang Sheng had never anticipated that the result of three Breakthroughs of Five Elements Fist would be such a grand surprise.
The Five Internal Organs Containing God would be formed by his Qi Blood Power, and once formed, could be controlled by him.
He vaguely felt that perhaps this was the birth of Divine Skills.
Even if no Divine Skills emerged, it didn’t matter because after the birth of the Five Internal Organs Containing God, even if nothing was done, it retained a tremendously powerful effect.
Protective Golden Light or, put another way, Protective Golden Qi.
The Five Internal Organs Containing God guarded the five directions, as if commanding thousands of troops; when the five connected, they could unleash the Protective Golden Light, immune to all techniques.
Of course, achieving immunity to all techniques was nearly impossible; no matter how strong the Protective Golden Light, it could be broken by more powerful forces; there was no absolute, only relative immunity to all techniques, possibly achievable by those of equal strength.
Therefore, as long as one could activate his Five Internal Organs Containing God, he could indeed gain an advantage in battle.
As for what activation meant.
Theoretically speaking, from the moment of birth, the Five Internal Organs Containing God already exist, but not everyone could manifest them.
Wang Sheng’s cultivation of Five Elements Fist, achieving three Breakthroughs, was what activated the Five Internal Gods.
However, in his case, it wasn’t so much activation as it was building from scratch, especially given the different nature of the world, it wasn’t certain whether the Five Internal Organs Containing God existed here.
But the final result was certainly satisfying.
Although it was merely “Five Internal Organs Containing God initiates.”
This indicated that the Five Internal Organs Containing God had merely shown initial signs; to fully emerge might still require an unknown period.
But this was, nonetheless, a good beginning.
As long as he continued practicing Five Elements Fist, the true Five Internal Organs Containing God would one day emerge.
His lifespan was still long, and continuously growing, and Wang Sheng was quite confident about this matter.
During this process, he felt he could completely construct the Five Internal Organs Containing God, so even just “initiates” didn’t matter; he would eventually construct them entirely.
Naturally, due to the breakthrough in Five Elements Fist, Wang Sheng faced greater consumption because the construction of the Five Internal Organs Containing God also required the consumption of Qi Blood Power.
Qi Blood Power was born in the blood at the Dantian, and until the Five Internal Organs Containing God fully emerged, some of the Qi Blood Power would go towards their construction.
Therefore, replenishing Qi Blood became the top priority.
Moreover, the speed of “Qi Cultivation, Refining” would not be affected by the birth of the Five Internal Organs Containing God.
Because “Refining” merely utilized Qi Blood Power running through its course before constructing great medicines; this operation would not slow down regardless of the amount of Qi Blood Power.
Even because the internal organs had become stronger and the Qi Blood Power also stronger, the quality of “great medicine” could only be higher.
“Thank goodness the Planting Skill had already undergone five Breakthroughs!”
The five times Breakthrough of Planting Skill had produced medicinal materials sufficient to meet the consumption necessitated by both Ba Duan Jin and Five Elements Fist.
He now looked forward to the effects of a Breakthrough in Yijin Scripture.
He just wasn’t clear what sort of effects would emerge from three Breakthroughs in Yijin Scripture.
Naturally, because more energy had been devoted to Five Elements Fist, it might still take some time for three Breakthroughs in Yijin Scripture.
Now one Refining stage, and one “Five Internal Organs Containing God” already required quite a bit of his energy…
