Synopsis

Dragon Serpent Evolution primarily tells the story of the clash between Guoshu and modern firearms. In a chaotic era, dragons and serpents emerge, depicting how an ordinary young man ascends to the peak step by step, revealing a true Guoshu world. It develops the Jingwu School of martial artists and creates a Guoshu style. Ancient martial artists learned to kill enemies, not to perform; modern martial artists only perform, not kill. The protagonist, Wang Chao, practices diligently for 15 years, participates in 107 martial arts discussions, receives guidance from 87 individuals, and comprehends the mountains, waters, sun, and moon, ultimately reaching the realm of transformation (Huajin).

After forming a connection with Tang Zichen, the leader of the secret organization Tang Sect, Wang Chao gradually reaches the pinnacle of martial arts through extraordinary perseverance and enlightenment, battling martial arts masters from various schools, joining and betraying mysterious organizations, and navigating between different forces.

How does Wang Chao create a false and bizarre legend, forging a strange and tortuous life!

Cultivation System

Mingjin (Manifest Power): Train the strength of the whole body, and then concentrate it, hitting out with one punch, the air explodes, the power is amazing, “a thousand gold is hard to buy a single sound” refers to this, this is the realm of Mingjin.

Anjin (Hidden Power): Going a step further, train the mind and skin and hair, adjust the last section of the spine to the center of gravity, so that the outer membrane of the whole body’s bones and tendons are connected, vigorously emitting Anjin, this is called connecting the Ren and Du meridians. The largest spine meridian of the human body is the Ren and Du meridians. The vitality generated in the body due to exercise is emitted through the pores and transformed into Anjin.

Huajin (Transforming Power): Then go a step further, connect the whole body, regulate the internal organs, recognize and master every organ of the inner and outer body, and then train. This will ultimately allow the entire body, teeth, tongue, nails, and hair, these four ends, to be covered with Anjin, reaching a state where “a thread cannot be added, and a fly cannot land.” This is Huajin. Practicing martial arts to this realm, the internal organs are clean and tidy, the whole body’s bones and tendons are strong, and the bone marrow is full. As long as it is properly maintained, living past 130-140 years is not a problem.

Danjin (Elixir Power): A further step is the mid-level skill of Huajin, internalizing the golden elixir, the whole body is complete. Embracing the elixir and sitting on the hips, let the whole body’s essence, energy, and spirit, and blood marrow are compressed a little, just like the moment when Hongmeng first opened, evolving the tiny point of the vast world. This level of skill is described as so mysterious, but in fact it is compressing the power of the whole body, concentrating it in the dantian, and then exploding suddenly. The tighter it is contained, the stronger the explosive power will be. Once the elixir is successfully embraced, you can reach the realm of controlling qi and blood with intention, and physical fitness can break the human limit.

Gangjin (Adamantine Power): Jin (power) is highly concentrated, penetrating the body and hitting the outside, but only about an inch away. At this step, the Jin of the whole body is vigorously emitted, which can tear the air and turn it into Gangqi (adamantine energy), the power is strong, and it can be called rare in the world.

Shattering the Void, Seeing the Divine Unharmed: Entering this realm, people can perfectly control their bodies, know their bodies like the back of their hand. What is divine? The divine in the elixir scriptures, the divine in boxing techniques is definitely not the ethereal Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun in the sky, but many sensitive and tiny acupoints in the body. The sensitive points of these acupoints dominate the operation of the human body, just like the gods who govern all things in the world. Shattering the void, you can see the divine. That is, the degree of sensitivity of human cultivation reaches the highest realm, penetrating into the micro, being able to clearly feel every tiny and sensitive acupoint in your body, knowing what these acupoints are for, and what role they play in the body. Just like in Buddhism, cultivating to the highest realm, going to the Western Paradise, hundreds of billions of Buddha lands, and seeing countless Buddhas, the Paradise in Buddhism, hundreds of millions of Buddhas, like gods, are all the gods who dominate their own bodies. The Paradise is not in the West, but in one’s own body.
