Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 74: Nirvana

This was one of his greatest gains from that battle.

Under the intense pressure from his opponent, his spiritual concentration had risen to a new level. His will grew more compact, and a large amount of "impurities" were burned away by the Heart Fire during the clash, purifying his Spirit.

True Fire Hundred Refinements.

Gleaming gold and perfectly round.

This was the "Golden Core" of the Daoist Family, and also the "relics" of the Buddhist Sect.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yuanjue had not yet truly reached that stage.

However, the appearance of this wisp of golden light signified he had entered a new realm.

His Spirit was as focused as the tip of a needle, so small it had practically vanished.

In this state, his mind became incredibly serene and tranquil.

His breathing gradually stabilized, as if he had fallen asleep.

If anyone had been beside him, they would have noticed him radiating a kind of calming luminescence.

He felt his consciousness sinking, drifting toward the edge of a boundless darkness.

Finally, in a trance, he entered a wondrous state.

He seemed to forget his self, forget his body, forget his existence, forget everything.

Severing the six roots of perception, the four elements became void.

It was as if he had "died," just like an eminent monk who, at the end of his life, enters a state of silent cessation.

And it was precisely in this state that he felt things within his body he had never felt before.

BA-DUM! BA-DUM!

He saw a huge, bright red mass of flesh that pulsed with a scorching heat, like a ball of fire. It beat powerfully, continuously pumping a crimson liquid through channels into the unknown distance.

Suddenly, he had a realization: this was his heart.

His will then followed these channels, flowing through many places, and he saw more things.

Liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen...

All his internal organs, the entire network of blood vessels in his body, were laid bare before him.

But there was one place he could not enter. All that lay there was pitch-black darkness; he could not see the path forward. It was as if a barrier blocked all attempts to peer inside.

That place, it seemed, was a forbidden zone of life.

Zhou Yuanjue understood. That place was the brain.

The human body holds infinite mysteries. Humanity possesses the power to reshape heaven and earth. The most important organ in the human body is the brain. There, wisdom is born, and enlightenment blossoms.

Modern science is incredibly advanced, and the workings of the internal organs have long been perfectly clear, yet it has still been unable to uncover the secrets of the brain.

Perhaps a treasure no one has ever discovered lies hidden there.

'We have never truly understood ourselves.'

Internal Vision.

Zhou Yuanjue understood the state he had entered under extreme concentration of his will.

This was a deep level of Meditation, like silent cessation—the state closest to "death."

Near-death experience. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

It was a miraculous experience shared by many who have been pulled back from the brink of death. On the verge of dying, everything slows down, and one's life seems to play in reverse. Many feel their soul detaching from their body. Some can even see themselves and the people around them.

And Zhou Yuanjue was now extremely close to this state. In emptiness and selflessness, by letting go of everything, he could in turn see so much more.

A flawless mirror, reflecting one's true nature.

'What is true rest?'

'It's not just physical, but mental.'

A restless mind and wandering thoughts.

'If the mind cannot find peace, how can the body ever achieve complete rest?'

Our minds often interfere with our bodies. Mental stress and stray thoughts can transform into physical blockages and damage.

But now, Zhou Yuanjue had eliminated all of that.

In this state, his body's instincts took over completely. His bodily functions were mobilized to their fullest extent; cellular activity surged, and his blood carried vast amounts of nutrients to every part of his body, initiating self-repair.

'The power of the human body often exceeds our imagination.'

Zhou Yuanjue could clearly feel the recovery of his shattered left arm bone accelerating. Faintly, a warm flame was nourishing his body.

Lamp Burning Realm - Nirvana Fire.

This was the secret to fully activating the body's Life Force during the spirit's silent cessation.

He finally, truly felt the profound depth of the Lamp Burning Technique.

Legend told that the Ancient Buddha of Lamp Burning was the Past Buddha of the Three Historical Buddhas. For this reason, the Lamp Burning Technique was one of the highest secret Heart Techniques, capable of bringing self-enlightenment and infinite transformations.

Bathed in the "Nirvana Fire," his injuries healed nearly three times faster.

And he faintly sensed that this was not yet the limit of the Nirvana Fire.

Currently, this Repair Power relied solely on his body's instincts, lacking focus. He couldn't control this process. 'If one day I could control this power with minute precision...'

He realized that he had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the Nirvana Fire's mysteries.

GRUMBLE!!

Just one short hour of deep Meditation had unexpectedly made his stomach rumble. A wave of hunger washed over him, forcing him to stop his Meditation and start replenishing his food and Energy.

...

...

「Three days later.」

Zhou Yuanjue sat cross-legged in the center of the training room, his eyes tightly closed, his entire being exuding a sense of peace and tranquility.

CLICK!

The door to the training room opened softly, and Lu Ming walked in carrying a tray of food.

For the past few days, following Zhou Yuanjue's instructions, food was to be prepared every hour and delivered to the training room. Normally, a servant would do this, but since he happened to have some free time, he decided to make the trip himself and check on Zhou Yuanjue's condition.

The very moment he stepped into the room, Zhou Yuanjue suddenly opened his eyes.

BANG!!

His left arm suddenly swelled, entering the state of Free Will. The powerful, thick muscles directly burst the white bandages wrapped around his arm, turning them into tattered scraps of cloth.

Then, he leaped to his feet.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

In the relatively small training room, countless afterimages of his fists whipped up gusts of wind that violently tousled Lu Ming's hair.

Lu Ming stood frozen in place. He watched as Zhou Yuanjue stopped after throwing a series of terrifying attacks, flexed his left arm, and revealed a hint of a satisfied expression. Lu Ming, meanwhile, looked a bit disheveled in the wind.

"Your... your arm is healed?!!"

Lu Ming moved closer, in disbelief. Seeing that Zhou Yuanjue's arm was indeed perfectly fine, he was momentarily speechless.

'An injury that would most likely leave a normal person permanently disabled... and it's only been four days...'

"Are you even human?"

Lu Ming couldn't help but blurt out his question.
