My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 539: Chapter 236: Condensing Gang

’The True Essence Fourth Realm—the Divine Illumination Realm. The Divine enters the Qi; Condensing True into Gang! Divine Sense merges deeply with True Essence in the Initial Fusion of Divine Qi. In this realm, one’s Nature is infused with ”God,” giving birth to Spiritual Charm and True Intent. True Essence ceases to be mere energy, becoming a vessel for one’s personal will and Martial Dao True Intent...’

This was the description Master Gu had given Qin Fang when explaining the True Essence Five Realms, and he remembered it perfectly.

In other words, Condensing Gang wasn’t just about compressing True Essence to its absolute limit; more importantly, Divine Sense had to be integrated into it!

Only then would the Gang possess divinity.

Only then would it have its many wondrous uses.

The most difficult part of this was precisely the process of the ”integration of Divine Sense” and the ”Initial Fusion of Divine Qi”...

This was not a simple attachment of will. It required integrating Divine Sense into every inch of True Essence that had been condensed to the extreme. During this process, through the tempering of True Essence and Divine Sense, the vast, liquid True Essence would gradually be hammered into the near-solid True Gang!

There was no room for even the slightest error!

The Third Layer of the Profound Nether True Water Scripture contained a detailed description of Condensing Gang.

The difficulty of this process even surpassed that of opening the Divine Gate!

To be fair, under normal circumstances, Qin Fang would have been quite confident in succeeding with the help of his panel.

But now, he was inside the great fish, his situation incredibly dangerous.

And yet, during the process of Condensing Gang, his mind had to remain perfectly calm, without the slightest ripple. Otherwise, he could fail at the last second.

Not only would he fail to condense his Gang, but he could also be seriously injured, even to the point of damaging his foundation.

’To say I feel no pressure... how could that be possible?’

But Qin Fang knew that in a situation like this, he absolutely could not panic.

Otherwise, he would likely fail to condense his Gang.

And in his current predicament, failing to condense his Gang and damaging his foundation... meant certain death!

So, after his proficiency reached nine thousand, Qin Fang began to adjust his emotions and state of mind.

He needed to enter a state of one hundred percent focus. Once he began Condensing Gang, even if the sky were to fall the very next moment, he had to ensure his mind remained perfectly still!

’If I fail to condense my Gang, I’m dead for sure anyway. Since that’s the case, why bother paying attention to anything else?’

He brainwashed himself by repeating this thought over and over.

Gradually, his mind grew calmer and calmer. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Even though the frequency of the surrounding Gang Wind clearly began to increase again, he gradually became unmoved by it.

Even when he occasionally inhaled a mouthful of True Essence containing the violent Gang Wind, which then wreaked havoc inside him and even caused some damage, he didn’t so much as twitch an eyelid. He would simply endure the pain calmly, and then refine the rampaging Primordial Power piece by piece.

Nine thousand three hundred, nine thousand four hundred, nine thousand five hundred...

The proficiency level was slowly climbing.

Nine thousand six hundred, nine thousand seven hundred, nine thousand eight hundred...

The proficiency level drew ever closer to the great milestone of Perfection.

But Qin Fang’s mind, contrary to expectations, grew even more tranquil.

He had completely forgotten himself and the world around him.

The great fish, the Golden Light, the Great Abyss, the Secret Realm...

At this moment, he no longer cared about any of them.

His entire mind was focused on only one thing...

...Condensing Gang!

Finally, his proficiency reached 9,999.

This should have been a heart-pounding moment.

But not the slightest ripple arose in Qin Fang’s heart... because he knew the critical point was at hand.

At a time like this, any emotional surge would not just be a bad thing; it would be a death warrant.

His powerful will to survive forced him into a state of near-ruthless calm.

Finally...

10,000!

The instant he reached Perfection, an Epiphany suddenly emerged, and countless pieces of vast information flooded Qin Fang’s mind.

...All of it about Condensing Gang!

But he maintained his inner peace, utterly unshaken, allowing the insights to flow slowly into his mind.

It was as if an invisible floodgate had been silently pushed open.

BOOM!!~

Within his Dantian, the vast Profound Nether True Essence was no longer calm. It began to collapse inward, as if an invisible Abyss had appeared at its center, greedily devouring everything.

A mysterious rhythm appeared out of nowhere...

It seemed to be some kind of natural law of the universe, manifesting spontaneously during the process of Condensing Gang.

Guided by this mysterious rhythm, Qin Fang could feel every wisp of his True Essence being forged and compressed!

...The density of his True Essence was soaring at a terrifying rate!

BOOM!!!

The Gang Wind rose again, accompanied by the great fish rolling over!

Qin Fang sat cross-legged inside the great fish. The solid ice beneath him stuck him to the fish’s body, and the movement sent the world spinning around him.

But his will was as firm as a bedrock, unwavering in the slightest.

It was as if he had anticipated all of this.

In his mind’s ear, Qin Fang could ’hear’ the humming sound of his True Essence being forcibly fused together, and he could feel the terrifying tension on the walls of his Dantian, which felt as if they were about to be simultaneously torn apart and crushed...

His Dantian was like a balloon, violently expanding one moment and then suddenly deflating the next...

It seemed ready to burst at any moment.

But this was the process of forging already-liquid True Essence into ’Gold Stone’; the slightest imbalance would end in a shattered dantian and death.

But his mind was like a frozen lake, without a ripple. He just watched coolly, allowing the instinct born from his perfected Cultivation Technique to manage the dangerous equilibrium.

At the same time, his Divine Sense no longer hovered above. It spontaneously scattered, breaking into billions of the finest, toughest silk threads that slowly delved into the ultra-compressed True Essence.

Every wisp of Divine Sense carried his sole will at this moment...

...Survive.

At the same time, his understanding of the Profound Nether also surfaced in his mind, a natural consequence of the process.
