……
A fantasy world.
Li Dao stood in the courtyard once again, his eyes resolute, his voice forcedly calm: "This time it shouldn't fail. The process of clouds turning into rain and rain turning into clouds maintains its energy within its own internal circulation."
"So what I need to do is to maintain the balance between the energy of Qi and blood, and through this balance, maintain the state of Qi in the long term."
"The transformation of Qi and blood into Qi, and then back into Qi and blood, in this continuous cycle, although it is impossible to achieve complete Qi transformation, it can still gather and disperse to form a shape."
As he spoke, Li Dao closed his eyes and then manipulated the qi and blood in his body. The thick and hot qi and blood gradually began to transform into a qi state.
Strands of qi and blood condense, intertwine, and finally transform into wisps of qi.
Gradually, Li Dao's entire body began to transform into Qi.
Although Qi is formless and intangible, Li Dao is half Qi transformed, so his outline and appearance can still be clearly seen. However, his appearance has changed greatly, existing between the real and the unreal, gathering and dispersing to take shape, coming and going repeatedly.
His white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, his Taoist robe was as white as snow, and Li Dao's whole body was ethereal and pale. The Qi and blood in his body circulated erratically, as if he were defying the laws of life, yet it was as if he did not exist.
"The transformation between illusion and reality? Haha!! I've succeeded!!" Li Daochang laughed heartily.
After a moment, the laughter stopped abruptly. Li Daobai's eyes flickered, and his ethereal voice rang out: "Then it's time to test the results."
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dao's palm pierced his chest like a knife. Then, he pinched his beating heart with his five fingers and crushed it with force. His consciousness was gradually fading away.
But in an instant, the heart reassembled itself like a flow of Qi, and the heart resumed beating, as if it had just been an illusion.
Li Dao's consciousness regrouped.
"I didn't die, but some of my Qi was depleted. That kind of depletion is enough to kill me several times over. My life-saving abilities have been greatly enhanced." Li Dao concluded after experiencing it for a while.
"However, I need to test where the resurrection limit is, otherwise it's easy to capsize unexpectedly." After saying that, Li Dao began testing again.
boom! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
During this test, Li Dao died six times before his Qi was completely depleted, and his blood and Qi were dried up, making him almost indistinguishable from a dried corpse.
"Seven times..." Li Dao had no blood and qi to provide energy. He was exhausted and lay limp like a snake. It would be difficult for him to even commit suicide.
Pfft!
So, Li Dao summoned the veteran actor "Atai" and delivered a swift and decisive sword strike to him.
After Li Dao was resurrected, he was no longer in the form of Qi.
"Now that the practice is over, it's time to create my own cultivation method. Otherwise, relying solely on the innate characteristics will make it difficult to improve my strength significantly."
"However, my current state feels somewhat like the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage in Under One Person, and I have already reached the stage of Triple Gathering and Dispersing."
Li Dao murmured to himself, then immediately closed his eyes and exited the fantasy world.
Chapter 68 "Rebirth of an Immortal"
When Li Dao opened his eyes again, he found himself not lying on the ground of flowers, grass and sand on the back mountain, but on a fragrant and soft bed.
This was his own room, and the faint fragrance on the bed was the lingering scent of He Xi, the little vixen, after she left.
Angel Ying was reading a book. As if she knew Li Dao had woken up, she closed the book, stood up, and walked over, her voice ringing out, "Awake?"
"Thank you both, lay Buddhists," Li said.
The two women helped him get back from the back mountain; otherwise, he would have slept on the ground for half an hour. Although he had a body that was as hard as alloy, he was still flesh and blood, and lying on the ground for too long would have been uncomfortable.
As for why it's half an hour?
He had gone through a lot of trouble in the past two months, so he was quite able to accurately know the difference in the flow of time between the fantasy world and the real world.
"You're welcome, you're the darling of the Heavenly King," Angel Ying said with a smile.
Li Dao thought something was off, and felt that Angel Ying's words had a hidden meaning.
really.
Angel Ying continued with a smile, "So to prevent your neurological epilepsy from recurring, I've already asked Canxing to buy some nerve medication."
Li Dao black line.
This humble monk is not ill! This humble monk is laughing out loud because of a sudden realization!
"Just kidding. It's so much fun teasing young kids." Angel Ying smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Li Daoneng could smell the faint minty fragrance emanating from Angel Ying. He had smelled it many times before, and he still found it pleasant and comforting.
"Layman, I am an invincible second-generation Daoist. If you continue to joke with me, you will suffer sooner or later." Li Dao wanted to scare this mischievous angel.
"We'll talk about that when you're invincible for three generations. Right now, you're just a little Taoist priest." Angel Ying stood up, stretched, and showed off her tall and graceful figure, which aroused a sense of longing.
However, these are all minor issues. The most fatal flaw is the married woman charm emanating from Angel Ying.
This is practically Cao Cao's favorite!
Li Dao was fortunate, fortunate that he was only half a traitor to Cao Cao, otherwise he would have been more or less in line with the middle way.
"You get some rest, I'm going out now." With that, Angel Ying walked out of the room in her high-heeled boots.
Li Dao shook his head, got out of bed, picked up a Taoist scripture, and sat down at his desk to read it.
Now I need to consider the issue of innate cultivation techniques and subsequent cultivation techniques, but at present, my knowledge is insufficient to create them. I need to continue reading books to absorb knowledge and then continue to deduce cultivation techniques.
For more than ten days in a row, Li Dao lay on the armchair almost every day, either reading, listening to music, drinking tea, or sleeping, looking leisurely and unrestrained.
However, these are just the outward appearances that Li Dao displays. Every day, he enters the fantasy world to deduce the feasibility of the cultivation technique, and conducts in-depth deductions based on his own characteristics and the theory of the Threefold Reversal of Life.
Li Dao did not copy the Reverse Life Triple Technique because his own path was finite.
Reversing the cycle of rebirth to the point of forming a cohesive whole is the limit of this technique. Unless it continues to be deduced from the theory, it will eventually become a true technique for achieving immortality!
The theory is lofty, but impossible to realize because the flaws of the three-stage reverse generation are too great. If they cannot be remedied, one is destined to be stuck at the third stage of the formation and dispersal process.
Even Li Dao did not want to copy all the theories of the Reverse Life Triple Rebirth. He only borrowed some of the principles and combined them with the characteristics of the world and his own Qi state to innovate, improve and deduce the theory.
A fantasy world.
Li Dao sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, the scene before him hazy and ethereal, with flying clouds and white mist, distant mountains and lush forests, like a fairyland secluded from the world.
Li Dao was still wearing a Taoist robe, his thick, glossy black hair cascading down, his handsome face like that of an immortal, but his eyes were closed and still, his mind empty and ethereal.
He is looking for inspiration.
The path has been determined, but the theory of the practice must be created by ourselves.
Li Dao has read all the books sent by the Super God Academy, whether he had read them before or not, and stored them all in his memory palace.
"The concept of 'reversing the cycle of rebirth' is to cultivate a person into the original innate Qi, following the natural order, while defying it leads to immortality."
"But becoming an immortal involves more than three stages. It only means having a small part of the characteristics of an immortal. Cultivating both body and mind, but only cultivating body and not mind, is really hard to agree with."
Li Dao spoke as if to himself, yet also as if to others.
"The primordial Qi, though the most original, is also the most difficult to fathom. Its essence is the human body reversing its natural state to return to that of an infant."
"The essence of immortality is immortality and indestructibility. Maintaining a state of reversal of life by consuming essence, energy and spirit is itself a wrong path."
"Reversing aging should mean becoming younger the more you practice, thus escaping the erosion of time and achieving a youthful and ageless effect."
"Instead of training until it becomes increasingly torturous, cultivation that comes at the cost of shortening one's lifespan is completely putting the cart before the horse. Immortals are immortal, yet they cultivate to have a life-shortening appearance. How can that be considered immortality?"
Li Dao continued speaking.
But in the next instant, Li Dao suddenly opened his eyes, his white eyes flashing with a sharp light, his thick black hair as white as snow, and even his Taoist robe turned white.
"So, since it's about cultivating the innate Qi in reverse, why set up layers? Cultivating life and nature, refining the heart in the mortal world, are all just pursuits of becoming an immortal."
Li Dao's eyes shone brightly. Although he was sitting cross-legged, his posture was upright. He seemed like a snow lotus growing on a towering snow mountain, aloof from the world and ethereal.
The flowers and grasses around the cliff swayed, and the tree canopies rustled, as if responding to Li Dao's voice.
At this moment, Li Dao's eyes sparkled with a vast amount of knowledge, and his thoughts diverged like a flood. He actually chose to comprehend the Dao at this moment and actively sought the opportunity to create a cultivation technique.
Gradually, Li Dao's body began to transform into the Dao. He was about to merge with the Dao and depart, his illusory form like a dream or a bubble, slowly transforming into a rain of light from bottom to top and disappearing.
However, Li Dao remained seated, continuing to maintain the frequency of enlightenment. Since he couldn't die in the fantasy world, enlightenment was the fastest way.
We can always revive ourselves if things don't go well.
It's almost here! It's almost here! This humble Taoist priest is about to seize that opportunity!
When only Li Dao's head remained, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice rang out: "Got him!"
After saying this, Li Dao completely transformed into the Dao.
"Following the natural order leads to birth, aging, sickness, and death; defying it leads to immortality and becoming a celestial being! I have finally comprehended the cultivation method." Li Dao revived, stood up, and his appearance remained that of someone with snow-white hair and a white robe, a state of transformation between reality and illusion.
The knowledge in Li Dao's memory palace surged and collided like a vast ocean storm, gradually forming a book of brilliant words—"The Immortal of Rebirth."
The Reverse Rebirth Immortal has no levels, but rather a gradual state of rebirth.
Qi and blood merge, gather and disperse to form shapes, assembling the Three Elixirs, and Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones...
Currently, Qi transforming into the Three Pure Ones is the highest state, which is also the theoretical limit that Li Dao can deduce. Further deductions can only be made based on the state once his realm and vision improve.
"My current state is one of gathering and dispersing to form a shape. The next step is to condense the three elixir to form a self-circulating energy system that builds a large cycle from a small cycle."
"But to achieve this, I need to solve the problem of connecting the internal and external circulations, otherwise it will be difficult to form the three elixirs."
"I'll consider it after the Battle of Tianhe is over!"
At this moment, Li Dao's feet seemed to float off the ground, as if he could ride the wind and fly away at any moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dao glanced at the empty cliff opposite him, then slowly stepped forward, moving gracefully away like a snow lotus, exuding an ethereal aura, as if a celestial being had descended upon the world!
Gradually, the figure disappeared into the hazy mist, finally departing gracefully.
Chapter 69 A Kiss from My Beloved?
The atmosphere is filled with surging air currents.
Three silver figures broke through the atmospheric barrier and descended towards Earth, China, falling at a speed like meteorites, with air particles generating high temperatures due to friction.
If someone looks up, they will see three streaks of falling stars trailing their tails across the azure sky.
After the three streaks of light, like shooting stars, broke through the atmosphere, they slowly came to a stop and looked down, where cities were scattered like stars across China.
