Ever since humans learned to cultivate, countless predecessors have tried to strengthen the weak human body with spiritual power, making it comparable to fierce beasts.

Even ordinary people who do not know how to refine equipment will adopt some techniques to strengthen their bodies. As for body refining methods, there are innumerable ones.

However, general body refining methods are only for training the skin and bones. A stronger method will strengthen the muscles and blood vessels. A higher level of technique begins to take the inner Saint and outer King path, strengthening the five internal organs and six viscera.

Should a body training method be able to refine the blood and marrow, it would be considered top-notch in the world. If one possessed such a method and diligently studied it, they are certain to achieve greatness in the future.

Yet, what differentiates the true pinnacle methods from the top ones goes beyond just these techniques. The key is whether the method can open a Divine Storage and comprehend divine abilities!

For example, Wuxiang Zen Temple’s Supreme Luminous Body can comprehend divine abilities like divine foot, telepathy, and unmoving body. Xu Clan’s Tongming Sword Body can communicate with the netherworld, unite the body and sword, and fuse the sword ruins.

A human body is in itself a major Divine Storage. Body training methods do not only focus on strengthening oneself, they are also designed to open the hidden Divine Storage, providing practitioners the competitive edge necessary to compete with fierce beasts.

According to the notes of Saint Han from the Han Family, the battle markings of the Extended-Arm Divine Ape total one hundred. These are divided into: ten markings on both arms, ten on the upper chest, ten on the abdomen, ten on the lower abdomen, ten on the lower back, twenty on both legs, ten on the back, ten on the neck and face, and ten on the tail.

But the human race has no tails, so they cannot engrave the ten divine markings of the tail. Hence, out of hundred divine markings, they can only practice ninety, corresponding to the nine ranks and ninety divine markings of the Undying Battle Body.

As the battle markings of the ancient Extended-Arm Divine Ape, the Undying Battle Body naturally also has the effect of opening the Divine Storage. Among the nine ranks of divine markings, five ranks and fifty divine lines correspond to the Divine Storage in the body. When practicing the Undying Battle Body, these must be cultivated first. The Han Family refers to these as superior divine markings.

The practice of the Extended-Arm Divine Ape is very casual because their divine markings are engraved in their bodies from birth and only need to be lit up. So, they can light up a battle marking on their leg one day and on their arm the next day. Eventually, they can light up all the battle markings on their bodies over time.

However, for the Undying Battle Body, which imitates the talent of the Extended-Arm Divine Ape, one needs to engrave the spiritual formations oneself due to the goal being to light up divine markings. Moreover, spiritual power is always circulating around the body. It’s virtually impossible for an average human martial artist to control one hundred percent of their spiritual power, making it almost hopeless to reach the highest realm of the Undying Battle Body.

However, humans are undoubtedly better than the Demon Race at summarizing and deducing. Saint Han spent his lifetime observing the Extended-Arm Divine Apes. He discovered that those Extended-Arm Divine Apes who had opened specific complete divine markings had stronger combat effectiveness than those with equal amount of other divine markings.

These are the ten markings on both arms, ten on the upper chest, ten on the abdomen, ten on the lower abdomen, and ten on the lower back.

After careful study by Han, it was found that these fifty divine markings not only can achieve the power growth brought by each level of the Undying Battle Body, but also can strengthen the corresponding internal organs and open up their own Divine Storage. Therefore, the Han Family refers to these fifty divine markings as superior divine markings, which are the first five ranks to be lit up.

The ten markings of the two arms correspond to the lungs and large intestine inside the body, which can strengthen the skin. If the Divine Storage is unsealed, the lungs can naturally produce Innate Qi, filling the body flawlessly and capable of reaching the metaphysical realm of nine heavens. Even in its initial opening, it will make one’s sense of smell extremely sharp.

The ten markings of the upper chest correspond to the heart and small intestine, which can strengthen the blood vessels and enhance the sense of taste. After practicing the ten markings of the upper chest, even the most violent of spiritual energy pathways can be withstood. And once the heart fire is ignited and the Divine Storage is opened, one can reach a state in which the blood and qi is as mighty as a dragon and the heart of a god pumps like a engine.

The ten markings of the abdomen correspond to the liver and gallbladder, and even in the early stages can enhance vision. For a martial artist, the gallbladder is where the spirit resides, whether the spirit is stable or not depends on the strength of the gallbladder. After practicing the ten markings of the abdomen, one can stabilize the spirit, strengthening the tendons and ligaments. And once the Divine Storage is unsealed, it can fend off all kinds of evil and be impervious to a hundred poisons.

The ten markings of the lower abdomen correspond to the spleen and stomach. Upon completion, one’s energy can be projected like an arrow and the voice will sound like a booming bell. The lower abdomen is also known as the core strength of a martial artist, and after practicing the ten markings, your body will be powerful and your strength staggering. Once the Divine Storage of the stomach is unsealed, one can eat anything and everything. Eating fire and thunder, swallowing gold and chewing stones would be an easy feat.

The ten markings of the lower back correspond to the kidneys and three burners. After completion, not only will it strengthen the bones and invigorate the marrow, it will also provide endless energy and a keen sense of hearing. If the Divine Storage is opened, one will be able to reach the state where the source of power never dries up and acquire a powerful ability for self-healing.

These fifty divine markings are known as superior divine lines, not just because they can open the Divine Storage, but also because they affect one another.

After careful analysis of these fifty superior divine markings, Tang Luo discovered that they actually conform secretly to the Dao of Five Elements at birth!

Both arms’ ten markings are Metal, the ten markings of the upper chest are Fire, the ten markings of the abdomen are Wood, the ten markings of the lower abdomen are Earth, and the ten markings of the lower back are Water.

After lighting up the ten markings of both arms, engraving the spiritual formations of the lower back markings becomes much easier, and the internal spiritual formations of both can mutually benefit. But if one tries to forcibly activate other spiritual formations, the balance will be lost and will lead to a turmoil of spiritual power within the body.

From the time of engraving the first superior divine markings, it determines your starting spiritual formation, which can then only be engraved in a specific sequence.

Just like the relationships of mutual generation and restraining among the Five Elements. Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth regenerates metal. This achieves a ceaseless cycle and a innate balance.

The most important Divine Storage among these five superior divine markings is the heart of a god pumps like a engine and blood and qi is as mighty as a dragon, because for a martial artist, the strength of one’s vital energy and blood determines the power of their life force, and the heart determines the strength of their spirit. The strength of the spirit is directly related to the combat effectiveness of a martial artist in the Fierce Realm.

Even if all the other four Divine Storages are not needed, one must try hard to ignite the heart fire, and reach the state where the blood and qi is as mighty as a dragon and the heart functions like a pumping engine.

Therefore, for the core disciples of the Han family, there is only one sequence for practicing the Undying Battle Body: Earth -> Metal -> Water -> Wood -> Fire, first open the ten markings of the lower abdomen with the spleen as the beginning, then earth generates metal to open the ten markings on both arms representing lung metal, then metal generates water to engrave the ten markings of the lower back for kidney water, water generates wood so you can engrave the ten markings of the abdomen to strengthen the core of strength and invigorate liver gallbladder wood, and finally use the life force of the four top-ranked divine markings to ignite the heart fire represented by the ten markings of the upper chest, relying on the restraining and generating force of all higher-level divine markings to achieve the goal of directly opening the Divine Storage of blood and qi as mighty as a dragon, and the heart pumping like a engine.

But the teachings given by Ji Fu of Tang Clan starts with the ten markings on both arms. According to the principle of the Five Elements, after lighting up the lower back markings and the ten markings of the abdomen, one should forcibly open the upper chest markings. One can imagine this is an order that absolutely has no chance of opening Divine Storage in the first round. Ji Fu set a trap for the Tang Clan.

Although once the Undying Battle Body is practiced to the first level, all the five major Divine Storages will open, But even with Saint Han’s talent, he only managed to practice to the second level of the Undying Battle Body, let alone ordinary people. The sequence given by Ji Fu is essentially cutting off the possibility for the martial artists of the Tang Clan’s to reach the Divine Storage of blood and qi as mighty as a dragon, Heart pumping like a engine..
