Lu Li and Sereline stayed at the back of Wuliang Mountain for the time being. Every day, Lu Li would explain to Sereline the allusions in the Zhuangzi and teach her how to identify the acupoints. He also studied the Northern Dark Divine Art and the Tiny Steps on Waves. He was very curious about the structure of martial arts. After many experiments, he came to the following conclusion.
The foundation of all kinds of martial arts was genuine Qi. This was like the chakra in Naruto. It was extracted from the blood essence and vitality of the body. The effect of genuine Qi was called internal strength. Internal strength could extract genuine Qi from blood essence and vitality more quickly. People more or less had some internal strength, but they did not necessarily have genuine Qi. Genuine Qi was just a certain substance in blood essence and vitality.
The effect of force was mutual. Defeating the opponent's internal force would affect the opponent's true qi. True qi could protect the human body, but it could also backfire on the human body. Therefore, internal force would be greatly damaged and true qi would dissipate. Internal force was expressed by true qi. True qi could use internal force, but true qi might not necessarily only use internal force.
Every martial art had different properties of the Genuine Qi and the functions of the Internal Strength. There were different techniques. Take the North Sea martial art that Lu Li had. Other people's Genuine Qi had a Sea of Qi. Once the Sea of Qi was broken, they would lose their power. The North Sea martial art did not have a direct point of the Sea of Qi. Instead, it treated the person as a Sea of Qi. It was vast and boundless. It coincided with the Sea of the Netherworld in the book, Zhuangzi: Carefree Wander. That was why it was named the North Sea martial art.
The Northern Dark Divine Art was divided into two parts. The first was the Northern Dark Art, which was a technique to absorb the internal energy of others. However, this kind of absorption of internal energy was not one plus one equal to two. When the internal energy was absorbed into the body, it was stored as true energy. Therefore, the scroll wrote,'The Northern Dark Divine Art is to attract the internal energy of the world for myself. The Northern Dark Water is not self-generated. As the saying goes: hundreds of rivers converge into the sea, and the water of the sea can accommodate hundreds of rivers. Wang Yang's great flood is due to accumulation.'
However, he had to pay attention to the Great Art of Deep North. He must not compare himself with someone whose internal strength was far superior to his. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to pouring seawater into a river and directly causing a flood. His internal strength would extract all the special substances such as blood essence and vitality. He did not know what would happen to him.
The other type of the North Deep Divine Art was the North Deep Genuine Qi. The North Deep Art absorbed Internal Strength but not Genuine Qi. Internal Strength created Genuine Qi and stored it in the body. In the books, it was recorded that " A man's food is like water, but in a day, it is all gone. When I take Internal Strength, I take a portion and store a portion. It is not endless. The more it accumulates, the thicker it gets. It is like the lake in the North Deep can float a thousand-mile fish." Lu Li could tell from this that the people here could not even tell the difference between Internal Strength and Genuine Qi. He treated his True Qi as his Internal Strength.
Although the ancients knew about health, they did not differentiate the nutritional system. They did not understand the microworld. When food entered the stomach and leaked out of the body, it was actually dregs. The energy needed by the human body had long been taken away and consumed during exercise. When internal energy entered the body, it could convert the blood essence and vitality of the human body into true energy. Then, it could be mobilized. The force displayed by the true energy could increase the strength and endurance of the human body. The strength displayed could be called internal energy, but internal energy could not be stored at all. It only stored true qi, which was extracted from a person's essence.
Lu Li figured out this part of the martial arts system and had an idea in his heart. The creator of this martial art knew the theory, but he did not know how to distinguish the Internal Strength from the Genuine Qi. He could absorb the Internal Strength of others and create his own Northern Dark Genuine Qi. However, the Internal Strength that was expressed by the Northern Dark Genuine Qi had given up the ability to extract the Essence Qi. Perhaps from a certain point of view, it was indeed taking a part and storing a part without leaking endlessly. However, the part that was taken was not from others but from himself.
Genuine Qi was not without leakage. When it was used up, it would be consumed. Duan Yu was the prince of Dali and rarely fought with others. Otherwise, he would die immediately once he used up his Genuine Qi after absorbing so many people's Internal Qi. Therefore, some of the contents in the Northern Dark Divine Art, such as 'If the enemy's Internal Qi is stronger than mine, it is extremely dangerous to absorb the enemy's Internal Qi' and 'Take a portion and store a portion, but do not leak it endlessly, and the more it accumulates, the thicker it is,' needed to be discussed.
Lu Li was glad that his brain had been strengthened by the CPH4. He could see the key points and didn't cultivate it rashly. It would have been terrible if he had. The North Deep Divine Art was dangerous and he needed to be careful. However, it also provided him with a lot of knowledge, enough for him to create a more powerful martial art than the North Deep Divine Art.
Although Lu Li had no intention of practicing the North Deep Divine Art, he admired the person who came up with this theory. Although Lu Li could not tell the difference between Internal Strength and Genuine Qi and did not make the martial arts systematic, he had established this theory. This kind of wisdom was not something he had. He also saw the disadvantages of the North Deep Divine Art and created the Tiny Steps on the Waves to complement it.
The Genuine Qi of the Northern Dark Divine Art could not extract the special substance from the body's essence to refine Genuine Qi. However, the Rippling Subtle Steps made up for this shortcoming. The Rippling Subtle Steps was created according to the position of the hexagram. From the first step to the last step, each step would mobilize the Northern Dark Genuine Qi and use the external movement to refine the Genuine Qi. Not only would it increase the Genuine Qi, but it could also improve the body movement.
Although the combination of the Art of the Deep North and the Subtle Steps of the Ripple could be perfect, Lu Li liked to add something of his own to fix the drawbacks of the Art of the Deep North. The drawback of the Art of the Deep North was that he could not cultivate his internal Qi. The internal Qi might be rich and could be distributed to protect himself. It would not be attacked by external Qi, but it was mixed. External cultivation might increase the quantity of the internal Qi, but it could not improve the quality of the internal Qi. It was not enough to just focus on quantity and not quality.
Therefore, Lu Li combined some books he had read and made some changes to the Art of the Deep North. He put the theory of the Nine Transformations Inner Elixir Technique of Taoism into it. The reason why the Art of the Deep North could not be used for internal cultivation was that there was no systematic theory. It was a crooked path. The creator of the art was a benevolent gentleman. When he created the art, it was based on the theory that he would not attack others if they did not attack him. Absorbing others 'internal energy was passive. However, this kind of passive could also be changed to active. It was just like using words to provoke others to attack first and then take the initiative to meet it. It was the same, so the cultivation technique still needed people to use it.
With this thought in mind, Lu Li changed the theory of the Northern Dark Divine Skill from passive to active. He combined it with the Nine Cycles of Internal Elixir of Taoism and made some changes. He could absorb the internal energy of others, refine Genuine Qi, and generate internal energy from Genuine Qi. The internal energy could then be refined into Genuine Qi to form a cycle. It could be formed independently. He could absorb the internal energy of others or refine it without absorbing it. He named it the Galaxy Skill.
