Chapter 1020: “The Marrow Purification Scripture”

True Vital Energy Field!
In fact, it is a pure True Vital Energy Field created by mastering the “Sinew Transformation Scripture” and unblocking the Eight Extraordinary Meridians to utilize one’s own profound internal strength.
However…
Because the “Sinew Transformation Scripture” widens the meridians, the True Vital Energy released is several times that of ordinary people, allowing for such a massive energy field to be formed.
The greatest effect of this True Vital Energy Field is its exclusivity!
It possesses an astonishing repulsive force against True Vital Energy that does not integrate with itself and against external objects. Once any external force attempts to interfere, it instantly evaporates, as if thrown into scalding oil!
A portion of that force is weakened instantly…
20% reduction in attack power!
This is extremely terrifying for a master in the early stages of the Mythical Realm. Originally, its lethality was only around 30,000, but now it has been reduced by 6,000 to 7,000—its attack power is not much stronger than that of a master at the peak of the Wuwei Realm…
Although Happy doesn’t possess any magical weapons or equipment, the “Sinew Transformation Scripture” alone provides nearly 4,000 in defense, combined with the “Immortal Body,” making it extremely difficult for remaining attacks to truly threaten Happy.
Under these circumstances, Happy’s defense is so overwhelming that it’s mind-boggling!
Not to mention a master in the early stages of the Mythical Realm—even a master in the middle stages would need tremendous effort to break through Happy’s defense without any equipment…
“No wonder the Mad Monk was able to slaughter many people and break through the encirclement of countless top masters back then… Just the True Vital Energy Field of the ‘Sinew Transformation Scripture’ can reduce damage by 20%. Once the bone membrane techniques are mastered, it can further reduce damage by 10%. Even without the ‘Marrow Purification Scripture,’ it’s already terrifying! Now, even if I encounter the Great Poison Array or the ‘Six-Winged Golden Wing Gu Mother’ from the Proud Heavens, it will likely be hard for them to threaten me…”
Happy felt extremely pleased.
However!
At the thought of the Evil Emperor who once defeated an emperor from a hundred moves away, Happy couldn’t help but frown again…
It’s not enough!
“The Dao Heart Demon Sowing Art” is the supreme secret technique of the demonic sect, not inferior to the “Sinew Transformation Scripture,” and even surpassing it. Relying solely on the “Sinew Transformation Scripture,” it would be hard to contend with the Evil Emperor.
Additionally…
There is another fatal flaw:
Just three palms from a master in the Mythical Realm can reduce Happy’s internal strength by over 60 points!

This indirectly shows that although the internal energy recovery speed of the Yi Jin Jing is fast, once the “True Vital Energy Field” is activated, the rate of internal energy consumption is astonishing. The more attacks one faces, the more internal energy is consumed. Especially in group battles, if one’s cultivation level is not high and their internal energy is insufficient, it’s easy to deplete one’s internal energy completely and become a target for the enemy. The attacks of the Evil Emperor are likely no less fierce than those of an ordinary Mythical Realm expert! The strength of countless experts from the First-Class Hall also goes beyond this… So, at this stage, it’s still not possible to gain a firm foothold with this skill—at least not for long! Thinking of this, Kai Xin couldn’t help but suppress his smile and took out a martial arts manual he had prepared in advance—the Xi Sui Jing—from his Qian Kun Bag! Holding the martial arts manual in his hands, Kai Xin thought to himself, “I’m sorry, Mad Monk.” Originally, Kai Xin had to wait until the third year after mastering the Yi Jin Jing to ask the Mad Monk for this manual and begin training… But because of the Zhen Long Zan Ju, Kai Xin got the chance to obtain this supreme Shaolin treasure earlier. Now that he had mastered the Yi Jin Jing and met the requirements for training, he chose to start practicing without hesitation. Whoosh! The Xi Sui Jing turned into a golden light and entered Kai Xin’s body. Kai Xin’s body stiffened. Ding! “Successfully practiced the Xi Sui Jing; gained 10 points of insight…” “Yi Jing Xi Sui! Achieve the Great Path!” A series of system messages made Kai Xin even more convinced that the Xi Sui Jing he was practicing was extraordinary… Kai Xin checked the detailed attributes of the Xi Sui Jing: Xi Sui Jing: Level 1.00. One can only practice Xi Sui after mastering the Yi Jing! Only those extraordinary can succeed on the path of Xi Sui! There wasn’t even a detailed description of its attributes… Kai Xin was truly shocked. What made him even more frustrated was that after practicing the Xi Sui Jing, he couldn’t activate it on his own. “What’s going on?” It was as if this martial art had disappeared for no reason—he couldn’t summon it, and there was nothing strange or mysterious mentioned in its description. “Are you kidding me?” Kai Xin felt somewhat disheartened… He had intended to use this time in seclusion to master the Xi Sui Jing and train himself to have an amazing physique like the Mad Monk, but it seemed a bit troublesome now. “Since it’s possible to practice, it can’t be unusable… If it can’t be activated voluntarily, could it be passive…” After pondering for a while, Kai Xin ordered the Mythical Realm prisoner in front of him to go all out, without stopping or holding back.

Since the “Yijin Jing” can be activated through aggressive attacks, perhaps the “Xishui Jing” has the same effect!
Bang!
Bang bang!!
Continuous sounds of wind tearing through the air and forceful impacts on the body filled the prison again.
This time, Kai Xin voluntarily removed his true vital energy field and relied solely on his own strength to withstand the attacks from a Mythical Realm expert…
Although the initial damage wasn’t severe and he only kept retreating, as the internal injuries accumulated, he eventually spat out a mouthful of blood.
Kai Xin gritted his teeth and didn’t stop.
Because that damned “Xishui Jing” was still at level 1.00, completely unchanged, with no signs of improvement at all.
After a few minutes, Kai Xin was battered beyond recognition like a sandbag by the Mythical Realm prisoner, left gasping for breath with only half his life left, yet the “Xishui Jing” remained unchanged.
Finally, Kai Xin stopped the Mythical Realm prisoner…
This approach wasn’t working!
“Could something be wrong?”
“Or maybe the ‘Xishui Jing’ isn’t meant to be practiced this way?”
Kai Xin’s mind raced frantically.
“Think carefully—there must be another way…”
After all, this was the main headquarters of the Xifeng Tower. If Kai Xin wished, he could obtain many pieces of information that others couldn’t easily get from Mei Ying and Bai Xiaosheng.
But!
Kai Xin didn’t want to reveal any of this before the Evil Emperor arrived in the Central Plains.
Even now, he wore a human skin mask while practicing, to prevent the “Prophet” Kaisen from detecting his progress.
He didn’t want to accidentally leak information or leave the Xifeng Tower’s headquarters carelessly and get tracked…
Moreover!
There were only thirteen days left before the Evil Emperor arrived in the Central Plains!
Time was running out, and he had no time to waste.
“It seems I need to use another method.”
With a sudden twist of thought, Kai Xin smiled mysteriously…
……
Transition!
After pondering for over ten seconds, Kai Xin crossed from the prison of the Xifeng Tower’s headquarters in this world to the prison of the Mu Family’s stronghold in another world.
Dang!
When he opened his eyes, aside from the strong wind, there was another unexpected sound.
“Ah!”
Amidst the panicked cries, a familiar figure turned around, ready to run out of the prison—the voice and silhouette were both very familiar…
“Xin!”
As soon as he spoke, the figure, which had been panicking and about to “escape,” seemed to be under a freezing spell and stopped instantly.
Kai Xin stopped the peak-level Wuyi Realm expert who kept punching around him, pushed through the crowd, stepped out of the prison bars, and went behind Xu Xin:
“How long have you been here?”
“…”

Xu Xin’s body trembled slightly, like a child caught stealing sweets, as she replied in a low voice, “No, not for long.”
“Have you been with me in this prison all these over a month?”
“No! Not at all…”
As she spoke, Xu Xin’s head dropped even lower, with the faint sound of tiny particles cutting through the air.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The two stood facing the same direction, neither able to see the other’s face, the awkward atmosphere lasting for over ten seconds.
“I… I have something to do. I’m leaving first.”
Xu Xin stepped away with a choked voice.
But as soon as she lifted her foot, her shoulders were grabbed by arms radiating intense heat, and a strong, familiar scent approached from behind!
Xu Xin’s eyes widened in shock! But she was held tightly, drawn into a loving embrace!
Kai Xin noticed Xu Xin’s body stiffen in his arms. He took a deep breath.
“Silly girl… you don’t need to wait by my side all the time… You know, I can’t give you any promises right now because I don’t know when he’ll wake up again.”
Kai Xin couldn’t help but hold her tighter, feeling her soft sobs. He wished he could merge her into his body.
“Xin… do you know…”
Kai Xin murmured in her ear,
“All my brothers in this world can live well. I’m not worried at all. The only one who worries me is you… just you… do you know…”
“…”
The person in his arms finally relaxed, her body warming and softening, until silent tears rolled down her cheeks, dripping onto Kai Xin’s hands and burning deep into his heart.
“A long time ago, I thought that once I became the greatest in the Central Plains, I would give you the most romantic wedding, making you my wife before the whole world, the happiest woman in the world… But… I failed… Now I don’t even deserve to do that anymore; I have no chance.”
“…”
Xu Xin’s body trembled gently, accompanied by soft sobs as she curled up in Kai Xin’s arms, crying helplessly.
And so, Kai Xin held Xu Xin…
It was unknown how long passed.
Xu Xin slowly turned around, wiping the tears from her face, then looked at Kai Xin with a determined gaze, saying slowly, through tears, “Kai Xin, I want you to remember what you said today… You owe me a wedding… not Chen Kaixin and Xu Xin’s wedding… but Kai Xin and Xu Xin’s wedding!”

“…” Xing Kai was stunned for a moment, but soon sensed something from Xu Xin’s determined tears and words. He gazed into Xu Xin’s eyes for a long time, nodded firmly, took her slightly cold little hand, raised it in front of them, and said in an equally resolute tone, “Our wedding will take place in half a month…”
