In the midst of continuous deduction and experimentation, Fang Chen lost track of time.
Streams of air passed through his consciousness.
He felt that his senses were sharper and clearer than ever before.
"Phew~~~"
When Fang Chen finally felt that his meridians were straightened out and he was almost done.
His consciousness finally awoke from that endless experimentation.
"Yin and Yang alternate, spring and autumn cycle, cold and heat transform, and all things in the universe undergo endless transformation..."
Fang Chen glanced around and felt that the countless stars in the sky seemed to contain the changes of yin and yang!
Life goes on endlessly, without end...
"How long did I conduct the experiment?"
Fang Chen was suddenly startled.
In this illusory starry sky, consciousness constantly deduces and searches for a suitable path for the flow of true energy.
I've found the path that suits me.
But what if, because of spending too much time figuring out the optimal martial arts technique for oneself, one's physical body dissipates... wouldn't that be a net loss?
If consciousness has no roots, how can it exist in the world?
Just as Fang Chen was thinking this, he felt a flash of consciousness and a bright light appeared before his eyes.
A refreshing scent wafted into my nostrils.
"Hmm? Back in my body? Looks like I didn't stay in the Temple of War for long!" Looking at the lush trees around him and the real feeling of his fists clenched, Fang Chen felt relieved.
This is clearly outside the Temple of War.
By the way, where did the Temple of War go?
Has it disappeared?
Where have Sun Simiao and Ning Daoqi gone?
My consciousness felt as if a very long time had passed in that vast starry sky.
Having figured out the true qi circulation route derived from martial arts such as the Northern Darkness Divine Art, the Star Shift, and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he found himself standing alone on the mountain peak.
......
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, three rocket pilots flew over from a distance.
"His Majesty!"
Fang Chen looked up at the sound and was immediately delighted. "You're still waiting here? How long have I been inside the Temple of War?"
"Your Majesty, you have been in the Temple of War for one year and three months!"
One of the tall rocket pilots said, "After Senior Sun and Ning Daoqi returned, they stayed in the palace, and had us wait here for your arrival. The palace should already know that you have emerged from seclusion, and Military Advisor Shen Luoyan should be on her way!"
"What?"
Fang Chen was taken aback. One year and three months?
Have I been in the Temple of War for so long? Is my body still real?
Fang Chen subconsciously raised his hand to his eyes, looked at it, and realized that it was real and there was nothing different, just like when he had just woken up.
"His Majesty!"
Suddenly, ten helicopters flew in from a distance, followed by a large group of rocket soldiers floating in the air ahead like a red cloud. Shen Luoyan jumped off the helicopter in one swift step.
Upon landing, he felt light and airy, clearly indicating that his dantian had recovered and his lightness skill had greatly improved.
"Strategist, how is your dantian?"
Fang Chen looked at Shen Luoyan. At this moment, although the latter's complexion was rosier, she had become much thinner. She was wearing a long dress with a cinched waist. She came to Fang Chen with a concerned expression.
"Your Majesty, thanks to Senior Sun's medical skills, Luo Yan has fully recovered."
Seeing Fang Chen address her as strategist, Shen Luoyan's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of resentment as she slowly said, "Your Majesty, you haven't been seen for over a year. I thought..."
"For so long, I've been thinking of you day and night... Thankfully, Your Majesty, you've finally returned! How are you?"
"Um."
Fang Chen patted Shen Luoyan's shoulder and nodded. "During this time, I have been in the War God Hall, deducing the martial arts path that is suitable for me. Fortunately, the deduction is complete, otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to return!"
Thinking back to his time in the Temple of War God, based on the martial arts he had cultivated, and with the longevity of the Longevity Mantra as his main theme, he finally comprehended his own martial arts mental cultivation method!
This martial arts technique is perfectly suited to him. Fang Chen believes that once he starts practicing it, he will achieve twice the result with half the effort, be completely flexible and powerful!
"Prime Minister, let's go back!"
Fang Chen said slowly.
Inside the Temple of War, they kept deducing, truly oblivious to the passage of time, until their mouths were practically empty.
