Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey

"The Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey, the first stop has been completed."

"This simulated environment is generated based on a big data model for the breakthrough of Spirit-Flesh Unity, combined with massive historical data and user data, and has extremely high realism. Those with Dao Heart Level below level 13 or with the following illnesses should consult their doctor before starting..."

"Shall we begin your Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey?"

Zhang Yu opened his eyes, a moment of confusion flashing through his mind!

"I am... Gradually, he remembered that his name was Zhang."

Yu is an employee at a Dharma Skeleton Factory in Tianya City! The factory provides meals and accommodation. Work starts at 8 am and ends at 5 pm every day, with a 1-hour lunch break in between. The canteen provides three meals a day: eggs and milk in the morning, two to three meat dishes for lunch and dinner, and afternoon tea snacks!

Zhang Yu is used to going to bed at nine o'clock every night, falling asleep while listening to light music on a jukebox, and then sleeping soundly until seven o'clock in the morning to greet the new day with full energy!

Every five days of work at the factory, there are two days of rest!

During these two days, Zhang Yu sometimes goes hiking or swimming in the nearby mountains, which brings him inner peace!

In addition to this, he has recently developed a new trendy hobby: surfing the internet in the factory's library. However, many workers in the factory are interested in this new activity, and Zhang Yu is not always able to get a chance to use it!

Life went on peacefully, day after day, and Zhang Yu's greatest wish was to continue living like this until the year he retired, and then spend the rest of his life peacefully with his pension, just like his father!

And this day also marks the annual physical examination day!

Zhang Yu lay on the operating table, silently circulating the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra in his mind, and then felt the scalpel cutting through his abdomen. The factory's doctors removed the 'impurities,' which were like tree roots, tangled and covered with strange tentacles!

Zhang Yu had overheard the doctors talking; they seemed to refer to this thing as Spirit Root!

In short, this is not a good thing. Every year after experiencing it, Zhang Yu and his fellow workers have to undergo surgery to cut off their Spirit Root!

However, whether it's because this thing is too stubborn or because the surgery wasn't completely removed, this Spirit Root keeps growing back every year!

Zhang Yu was fortunate that the factory reimbursed their medical expenses and provided them with free physical examinations, treatments, and surgeries every year!

Just then, he overheard the doctors talking nearby.

"Have you heard? The Nether Palace's artificial synthesis technology for Spirit Root has already entered the market!"

"I've heard about it. It looks like our factory won't be open for many more years. Sigh! How can animal husbandry compare to their industrialized production!"

"Does this require shaving?"

"Let's shave it. It's hot lately, and the factory manager wants to save on air conditioning costs!"

As Zhang Yu watched his fur fall off, he struggled in frustration!

Why is he awake?

"Increase the dosage!"

In his dazed state, Zhang Yu only felt waves of pain coming from the wounds on his body!

He naturally used the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra to resist the pain!

But over the next year, his illness seemed to get worse and worse. The factory doctors removed more and more parts of him, causing him to be in so much pain every night that he couldn't sleep!

In order to get a good night's sleep, he could only keep circulating the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra and his mental cultivation method!

Finally, one day, while Zhang Yu was asleep, he was still silently circulating his inner energy, and he was finally able to temporarily forget the pain and get a good night's sleep!

"Fuck it!"

Zhang Yu removed the Spirit Realm Mask, recalling his recent experience, his eyes filled with a strange look!

"It turns out that as Demon Descendant, he was constantly harvested in the Spirit Root Farm. Because he was afraid of the pain, he practiced the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra' day and night, and finally, he was tortured to the point of Spirit-Flesh Unity!"

Zhang Yu temporarily suppressed the various emotions in his heart and tried hard to recall the feeling of gradually turning the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra into instinct during those days and nights of pain!

"I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, but it doesn't seem like I'm making any progress?"

Looking at Zhang Yu Fu Ji said, "The feeling about cultivation techniques is often ambiguous and vague! Don't overthink it; the more you think, the more confused you'll become. Just keep practicing step by step, and as they say, practice makes perfect!"

Zhang Yu had heard similar words from his teacher in the Dao Heart Class, and he naturally understood the reasoning behind them. However, recalling his experiences in the Spirit Realm, he couldn't help but have some thoughts!

"That factory... doesn't it seem to be the old Kunxu? Kunxu where even the internet wasn't widespread, and Spirit Root still needed to be cultivated!"

"The company must have collected data on the Demon Descendant being raised in the factory who broke through to the realm of Spirit-Flesh Unity, and then used this data as one of the references to generate a simulation environment!"

"But the problem is..." Zhang Yu frowned slightly. The Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra he broke through in the simulated environment was not the complete version of the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra in his mind!

"What if I don't succeed?" Oh well, Hammer Heart Residence said I can apply for a refund if it doesn't work out, so I'll keep trying!

After composing himself, Zhang Yu went to the 667th Layer to start his day's work. On the construction site, the Formless Warrior was flashing back and forth, doing things like twisting, cutting, and erecting steel bars.

Of course, Zhang Yu wasn't using the Qi Vein Everflow at this moment. Instead, he chose the University Sacred Body and continued practicing the ninth Breathing Technique. Even so, Ying Xin, who was inspecting the work not far away, was still surprised by this scene. "In just over two months, Zhang Yu Yu's work efficiency has improved so much?"

"The fact that he can maintain his human form while carrying out construction using his internal Gang Qi indicates that his Gang Qi Conductivity, total mana, and recovery ability have all greatly improved compared to the past!"

"Could he really be able to get first place in the class?" Thinking this Ying Xin subconsciously shook her head, "Impossible, Ji Yuan Shu is too rich, there's no way anyone in our class could surpass him!"

A 100-square-meter suite on the 450th Floor!

A notification from the Fortune Monitoring popped up in Ji Yuan Shu's Eye Remains!

The Luck has turned again, and Zhang Yu's winning percentage has increased slightly during this period!

Ji Yuan Shu examined the source of the change in Luck and immediately saw Zhang Yu's recent work performance!

"That's quite an improvement!" From the perspective of a traditional Civil Engineering Department student, you've done a great job!

Unfortunately, the Civil Engineering Department department only focuses on making progress on construction sites, and will never be able to break out of that mindset!

"The difference between us... is on a dimensional level!"

The next day after school, Zhang Yu began another Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey!

When he opened his eyes, he remembered his identity!

He is Zhang Yu from JingShui County. He and four other men in the county monopolize the business of seeds, water, agricultural machinery, and money lending, and are collectively known as the JingShui Four Young Masters!

Zhang Yu owns the largest Medicine Field in the entire county, and commands hundreds of Demon Descendant slaves!

His greatest pleasure each day was watching his many Demon Descendant slaves toil diligently in the vast Medicine Field!

The second greatest pleasure was hunting in the mountains!

One day, during a hunt, he was overtaken by another wealthy young man and ridiculed. In a bad mood, Zhang Yu returned to the county and bought Law Treasure produced by a large company in the city from a traveling merchant. It was said that as long as one carried it for many years, it could prolong life, sharpen hearing and eyesight, and make one agile. It was the most popular health-preserving Law Treasure in the city!

Whether by coincidence or luck, he came out on top in the next hunt, defeating all his opponents!

From then on, he became a firm believer in this health-preserving Law Treasure and bought a large quantity of it, filling his room with them!

Years later, Zhang Yu felt his health deteriorating. During a medical check-up, doctors discovered that his internal organs had been completely permeated by the Di Sha Qi!

Over the next few months, his body rapidly emaciated, and in order to cut off the continued corrosive effects of the Sha Qi, his organs, eyes, and limbs were removed one by one!

To resist the pain in his body and mind, he practiced the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra, circulating the mental energy day and night, hoping to forget the suffering in his body!

Whenever he felt he couldn't hold on any longer, his family's calls always gave him the strength to keep going!

"Zhang Yu, open your eyes and look! This is Dad's remittance information. Everyone is transferring money to you for treatment. You have to hold on!"

"Son, can you feel it? The family's savings are flowing into you steadily. Don't underestimate our Lineage."

"Hang in there, little brother! You've spent so much on treatment, are you really willing to just die like this and watch all this money go to waste?"

Watching his savings fluctuate, Zhang Yu felt as if his family's large hands were pushing against his back, trying to pull him back from the brink of death!

Besides his family, there were also pairs of doctors' hands pulling him, seemingly trying to drag him back to the world of the living!

But the pain was unbearable. Zhang Yu felt as if his flesh and bones had turned into rotten mud, and gradually he had only one thought: it would be better to die.

How is the patient?

"It's hopeless!"

"Let's just keep going. They're giving us too much money; the whole hospital depends on them for revenue. Let's hold on for as long as we can!"

"This case of Di Sha Qi corrosion is also very rare. I didn't know that being corroded by Di Sha Qi could cause such great harm to the body."

"Record his data as completely as possible until his death, then we can sell it to the company!"

In the midst of boundless pain, Zhang Yu gradually lost his ability to hear and see the outside world. In the darkness, he could only repeatedly circulate the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra, hoping to forget the pain and never be awakened by it again!

"Damn it." Zhang Yu took off his Spirit Realm Mask again, only to feel a lingering phantom pain all over his body.

"It hurts! It fucking hurts!"

"Is it because I practice the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra' that they've arranged these simulated environments for me?"

"Won't all of these Spirit-Flesh Unity Journey end like this?"

"Isn't there a normal way for this ' Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra ' to break through to the Spirit-Flesh Unity?"

Although his mind was filled with distracting thoughts, Zhang Yu forced himself to suppress them one by one, and then tried to recall the feeling of breaking through to the Spirit-Flesh Unity in the Spirit Realm!

He felt that the White Ox in his mind seemed to be becoming more and more agile, but there was still no sign of the Spirit-Flesh Unity!

Just then, Zhang Yu received a message from Tu Lishan!

Tu Lishan: Ji Yuan Shu joined the team, and then Ma Xuan replaced you as a substitute?

Zhang Yu: Yes.

Zhang Yu knew that it was Tu Lishan who recommended him to join Ma Xuan's team. Now that the other party had received a message from the Competition Team, he was obviously here to inquire about the situation!

However, Tu Lishan wasn't there to stand up for Zhang Yu or anything; he was simply there to confirm the news!

Looking at Zhang Yu's reply, he thought to himself, "Ma Xuan is from the Old Director's faction. The Old Director has never supported or opposed either of us before. Is this move by Ma Xuan simply for the sake of the competition results, or does the Old Director have something else in mind?"

In the dormitory on the other side, a moment later, a figure quickly passed through the dormitory door and arrived beside Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu, let's hurry!"

Le Mulan rushed in and plopped down in front of Zhang Yu!
