Chapter 476 - 439: Practice Integration, Cultivate Momentum, Refine Intent—Got You! Magma Skinny Dipping!
Back at the hotel, before starting today’s Heart Technique Course, Meng Chuan glanced at his new movement technique.[Longkong Jue: Beginner (1%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking Trait: Boat Without Ties (Intermediate)]
Seeing the name of this trait, Meng Chuan’s evaluation was that he couldn’t understand it, but it seemed quite impressive...
Yet, no matter how mysterious, after breaking the limit, it must open up to oneself without reservation.
He wasn’t in a hurry, knowing it was a matter of time.
From practicing with Principal Chong just before, Meng Chuan was able to understand.
Longkong Jue is not inferior to [Divine Movement Transformation], and in some aspects, it even subtly surpasses it.
"Tips outward connect the celestial axis, chest and back gather the earth’s essence.
Sink the shoulders without dropping strength, drop the elbows hiding a strand of relaxation.
The mischievous child hugs the tree seeking tight and loose, only when the band breaks the body feels bound.
Infinite skies don’t have a fixed method, only in the rise and fall of a single thought."
This is the content of the Longkong Jue’s mantra; if no one explains and guides, it cannot be learned.
Moreover, the practice process of this technique is significantly different from most body techniques and martial arts.
From beginner to mastery, the practice involves standing still, not jumping around.
Elevate subtly, chest in and back out, sink shoulders, drop elbows, relax waist and abdomen, stabilize below.
Prior to mastering Longkong Jue, the practice is all about how these positions are held, building a foundation for this body technique.
Later, from mastery to perfection, the movements described at the end of the mantra, "rise and fall," are practiced with bound earth and striking air.
What is foundation, mainly reflected in three aspects:
Training "integration," allowing body and breath to synchronize.
Adjusting body framework, coordinating with various breaths, avoiding forceful stiffness.
Only when every part of the body "integrates" into a whole can the resonance of [bound earth borrowing earth’s pulse, striking air aligning with airflow] be generated.
Otherwise, longkong jue practiced becomes just a compilation of scattered movements.
Cultivating "intention," gathering the lively foundation.
Standing still is also about cultivating the instinct to "be ready to act."
Proficient stance, forming muscle memory over long-term practice, leads to the perfect posture of "relaxed but not leaking, tense but not stiff."
Finally, refining "consciousness," allowing mental intention to precede action.
The descriptions in the mantra like "connecting celestial axis, gathering earth’s essence," are actually training mental focus.
Over time, through practice, the mind will form a reflex with body actions.
This sense of harmony must be honed from the foundational stage.
Principal Chong just mentioned that these three points are not only the foundation of [Longkong Jue] but also the premise for mastering advanced body techniques.
"Only by letting the body first get used to following intentional guidance can one ultimately achieve what they think as what they reach."
The other party spent two hours just now, explaining word by word, breaking it down to him, allowing him finally to enter smoothly.
Thinking of this, Meng Chuan couldn’t help but feel grateful, Principal Chong’s kindness is not easily repayable...
Train integration, cultivate intention, and refine consciousness, completing this set of practice.
Longkong Jue’s intention is high, not just limited to body techniques.
It can profoundly impact one’s martial arts path, serving as a foundational martial art for future high-difficulty martial art practice.
This technique is the hereditary martial art of Principal Chong’s family, not found in Hidden Martial Pavilion or online, truly valuable.
This kindness, Meng Chuan remembers in his heart.
Coming back to senses, awaiting the end of the Heart Technique Course practice.
He again tries combining the stance of Longkong Jue while practicing Earth Posture.
Head naturally raises up, as if gently drawn by an object above, chest slightly retracted not protruding, back comfortably extended not hunched.
Breath flows from the top of the head downward naturally.
Shoulders relaxed and not lifted, elbows drop slightly gathered, waist like a hanging bell turning spiritually, abdomen slightly drawn in not tense.
After completing the set of movements, his whole being gradually achieves a "natural" unity, brimming with relaxation.
Thanking the proven assurance, the posture learned from Principal Chong has firmly imprinted on his body without error.
This is also a major advantage for him when practicing Longkong Jue.
Meanwhile, Meng Chuan was surprised to find.
Standing in this posture seems more comfortable.
Even when standing in Earth Posture, the internal meridian tearing pain sensation has significantly reduced.
His body stands like a pine and crane, completely integrated with Earth Posture, forgetting the flying time.
Until eastern dawn, hearing the panel prompt sound:
[Taiyi Three Talents Posture: Earth Posture (37%) → (38%)]
[Longkong Jue: Beginner (1%) → (4%)]
The former pile skill, the panel visualizes the progress of its practice.
From 33% to 66% proficiency, representing the perfection of meridian practice for two limits.
His meridians will not shrink, the speed of linking star trajectory is quite fast.
Having just progressed not long ago, the progress of the pile skill for two limits has already reached 15% overall.
The latter, Longkong Jue’s practice speed is also not slow.
Estimated within a month, mastery is achievable, no major issue with body posture practice within this year.
Subsequently starting to practice binding earth and striking air, unable to merge with pile skill practice, can be done gradually in spare moments.
After all, his time in a day is limited, the main focus still needs to be on other martial arts.
After finishing the practice, Meng Chuan goes downstairs for breakfast, takes a shower, and sleep comfortably.
Once awakened, he needs to prepare for departure.
Recently, it’s the active period of Begonia Volcano; if he goes late, he won’t catch up.
"Rumor has it there are quite a few Demon Nests near Begonia Mountain, should I go for a hunt..."
Not really lacking battle potential for now, Meng Chuan decides to assess once he arrives.
Not having slept for a long time, this sleep feels especially sweet.
...
[He left the United University? When?]
[Yes, it must be. The specific departure time... I don’t dare to get too close to Luoshang United University, learned from inner school students.]
