Transmigrating to the Dou Qi Continent

"Brother Lin Ming, Brother Lin Ming, can you teach Ya Fei how to cultivate too?" A four- or five-year-old little girl with a cute, chubby face and big eyes asked in a childish voice.

The Brother Lin Ming Ya Fei was asking about was a little boy who looked only slightly older than her. His features were delicate, and there was a heroic air between his brows.

As the saying went, one could see the adult in the child. Even now, it was easy to imagine that these two children would grow into a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

At that moment, the little boy named Lin Ming looked at the adorable little girl before him and could not resist reaching out to pinch her rosy cheek. Smiling, he said, "Alright, Brother Lin Ming will teach Ya Fei how to cultivate."

"Yay! Brother Lin Ming is the best! Then let's cultivate quickly, Brother Lin Ming. Ya Fei can't wait anymore." After speaking, Ya Fei immediately imitated the way Lin Ming had cultivated before, sitting cross-legged and waiting for Brother Lin Ming to teach her.

Seeing Ya Fei impatiently imitate his meditation posture, Lin Ming could not help laughing. She simply looked too adorable like that.

When she saw Brother Lin Ming laughing, Ya Fei's little head filled with question marks. She then asked sweetly, "Brother Lin Ming, what are you laughing at?"

Lin Ming could hardly tell her, "Ya Fei, you look funny like this!"

So Lin Ming quickly stopped smiling and said to Ya Fei, "Ya Fei, today is your first time cultivating, so Brother Lin Ming will first explain what we need to do when cultivating."

"First, anyone who wants to cultivate must sense the energy we cultivate. People call that energy Dou Qi."

"All cultivation on the Dou Qi Continent begins with sensing Dou Qi. So today, Brother Lin Ming will first teach you how to sense Dou Qi."

"Then how do I sense Dou Qi?" Ya Fei asked Lin Ming with her big eyes wide open.

"To sense Dou Qi, you need to calm your heart and sense the different substances in the environment we live in and the air we breathe. That is the Dou Qi that supports our cultivation," Lin Ming patiently explained to Ya Fei.

"I see! Then Ya Fei will follow Brother Lin Ming's instructions, calm down, and sense the different substances in the air." Ya Fei spoke with wide eyes and a serious expression.

Seeing Ya Fei's earnest look, Lin Ming believed that she would probably sense the existence of Dou Qi before long.

So Lin Ming nodded, expectantly waiting for Ya Fei to sense Dou Qi.

Sure enough, it did not take Ya Fei long to speak. "Ah! It smells like chicken drumsticks! Brother Lin Ming, Ya Fei can smell roasted chicken drumsticks."

When Lin Ming saw Ya Fei react so quickly, he was about to praise her. But upon hearing those words, he felt as though a breath had been forcibly choked back down.

At that moment, Lin Ming could only look at Ya Fei helplessly and say, "Ya Fei, let's sense Dou Qi first. Once you sense its existence, Brother Lin Ming will take you to eat delicious roasted chicken drumsticks."

Upon hearing about roasted chicken drumsticks, Ya Fei nodded like a pecking chick and promised, "Brother Lin Ming, this time Ya Fei will definitely calm down and sense Dou Qi."

After Ya Fei finished speaking, she immediately entered meditation and began sensing Dou Qi.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ya Fei, who was meditating, suddenly said, "Why haven't I sensed it yet?"

When Lin Ming saw Ya Fei move again, he thought she had sensed Dou Qi. Instead, he was choked speechless once more.

Helplessly, Lin Ming could only say to Ya Fei, "Ya Fei, you need to remain calm for longer before you can sense the existence of Dou Qi. You haven't even truly calmed down in such a short time, so you can't sense Dou Qi."

After hearing Brother Lin Ming's words, Ya Fei stuck out her tongue, then said seriously again, "Then Ya Fei will try one more time. This time, Ya Fei guarantees that she can calm down and sense Dou Qi."

Seeing Ya Fei speak seriously again, Lin Ming nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Lin Ming will watch you sense Dou Qi."

After another cup of tea's time passed, just as Lin Ming was about to celebrate Ya Fei finally calming down and persisting in sensing Dou Qi, Ya Fei dealt him a heavy blow.

At that moment, Ya Fei opened her big eyes again and said, "Brother Lin Ming, other than smelling chicken drumsticks, Ya Fei still hasn't sensed any Dou Qi."

Lin Ming stared at Ya Fei, stunned. So all that meditation just now had been spent sensing chicken drumsticks? He had seen how serious she looked and thought Ya Fei would finally sense Dou Qi this time.

It seemed he, Lin Ming, had been too naive, believing a child so easily—and a little girl at that.

Judging by Ya Fei's current state, it was practically impossible for her to calm down and sense Dou Qi right now.

So Lin Ming sighed and said helplessly, "Then Brother Lin Ming will take you to eat chicken drumsticks! We can slowly work on sensing Dou Qi later."

"Yay! We're going to eat chicken drumsticks!" After Lin Ming finished speaking, Ya Fei bounced up and down excitedly.

However, after thinking about it, Ya Fei felt that giving up like this did not seem very good. So she promised Lin Ming, "Don't worry, Brother Lin Ming. After Ya Fei finishes eating chicken drumsticks, she'll come back and sense Dou Qi. She'll definitely sense it then."

If Lin Ming believed Ya Fei's promise again, then he really had a Problematic Brain. So Lin Ming nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Lin Ming believes Ya Fei. What Ya Fei says is the best."

Afterward, Lin Ming led Ya Fei out of the courtyard and onto the street to eat chicken drumsticks.

At night, the stars glittered brilliantly. Lin Ming lay on the Stone Platform in the courtyard, looking at the dazzling stars in the sky as he murmured softly, "Six years... It's been six years since I came from that azure planet to this world."

Yes, Lin Ming was also one of the transmigrators.

That day, after returning from a business trip, Lin Ming had been driving on the highway when he heard on the radio that a once-in-a-century Seven Stars Alignment would soon appear in the sky.

Not long after the broadcast, Lin Ming saw the sky suddenly turn dark.

Naturally, Lin Ming wanted to witness such a once-in-a-century sight. So he pulled his car over onto the emergency lane, turned on the hazard lights, and prepared to get out to watch the spectacle of the Seven Stars Alignment.

Just after Lin Ming opened the car door and stepped out, he saw a beam of white light shoot down from the heavens.

Faced with such a strange phenomenon, Lin Ming was just about to praise it when he realized something was wrong. Why was that beam of white light getting closer and closer to him?

Before Lin Ming had time to think, the white light pierced through him. After that, Lin Ming fell into endless darkness.

Who knew how much time passed? When Lin Ming regained consciousness, he discovered that he was being held by a woman. Whenever she looked at him, her face was full of smiles and maternal love.

Yes, this woman was Lin Ming's mother on the Dou Qi Continent, a member of the Mite'er Family.

When Lin Ming was five years old, his parents went out on a mission and never returned.

Lin Ming had occasionally heard from others that the mission had involved gathering herbs Deep within the Monster Mountain Range. On their way back, they encountered bandits, and Lin Ming's parents led the Clan Members in a desperate effort to protect the herbs they had obtained.

By the time reinforcements arrived, the herbs had been preserved, but Lin Ming's parents' injuries were far too severe. With only their final breaths remaining, they entrusted the family to take good care of Lin Ming before dying from their wounds.

Thinking of this, tears showed in the corners of Lin Ming's eyes.

"Brother Lin Ming, you lazybones! The sun's already shining on your butt, and you're still not getting up!" Ya Fei's sweet voice woke Lin Ming from his dream.

"Ya Fei, why did you come over so early?" After asking Ya Fei, Lin Ming muttered quietly, "How did I fall asleep here?"

Hearing Brother Lin Ming's question, Ya Fei puffed out her little cheeks and said mournfully, "Ya Fei sensed for a long time after going back yesterday, but she still couldn't sense Dou Qi. It's so annoying. Hmph!"

Seeing Ya Fei's puffed-up expression, Lin Ming comforted her, "Ya Fei, we'll definitely be able to sense Dou Qi. After all, our Ya Fei is the smartest and most capable. Sooner or later, you'll sense Dou Qi."

After Lin Ming finished speaking, he sprang up from the Stone Platform and said to Ya Fei, "Come on, Ya Fei. Brother Lin Ming will take you to breakfast."

As for Ya Fei saying that she had not sensed Dou Qi, Lin Ming was not surprised at all.

In the original story, Ya Fei did not have much Cultivation Talent. It was probably not so easy for her to sense Dou Qi after only one night.

Besides, it was not easy for children of this age to completely calm down and sense Dou Qi.

So Lin Ming was not surprised that Ya Fei still had not sensed Dou Qi after an entire night.

After all, when Lin Ming had first sensed Dou Qi, even with an adult soul that allowed him to calm himself, it had taken him half a day to sense the existence of Dou Qi and begin cultivating.

After taking Ya Fei to breakfast, Lin Ming returned to his small courtyard and began cultivating.

"Phew, I've finally reached Two Star Dou Zhi Qi. It wasn't easy!" Lin Ming said.

It had been just over a year since Lin Ming first sensed Dou Qi and began cultivating. Reaching Two Star Dou Zhi Qi in a little over a year felt like decent progress to him.

Some people might say that in the original story, Xiao Yan advanced several stages in a year, while Lin Ming had only risen two stages in more than a year. How could that be considered decent?

Lin Ming only wanted to say that Xiao Yan had Old Yao's assistance after Old Yao awakened. Old Yao refined pills for Xiao Yan to soak in and absorb, allowing him to rise from 3rd Stage Dou Qi to 8th Stage Dou Qi before the Coming of Age Ceremony.

But when Xiao Yan first began cultivating, he started at four years old and became a Dou Zhe at eleven. On average, he had also advanced two stages in more than a year.

Of course, based on Lin Ming's own Cultivation Speed, his progress could actually have been much faster. The reason he had only risen two stages of Dou Qi in over a year was that when Lin Ming sensed Dou Qi and began cultivating, an unnamed cultivation method automatically appeared in his mind.

The cultivation method that had suddenly appeared in his mind gave Lin Ming quite a fright. Fortunately, nothing else happened afterward, and only then did Lin Ming calm down and examine the cultivation method.

When he calmed down and read it, the opening lines of the cultivation method shocked Lin Ming.

The opening read, "Blend the myriad spirits of heaven and earth, forge the Five Elements Spirit Body..."

After Lin Ming finished reading the entire cultivation method, he was completely stunned by the scenes it described and could not forget them for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ming finally recovered from his shock. He then named the cultivation method that had appeared in his mind the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique.

As for the cultivation method that had appeared in Lin Ming's mind, he guessed that it had been brought by the beam of white light from the Seven Stars Alignment, which had also carried Lin Ming across worlds.

The contents described by the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique completely exceeded Lin Ming's knowledge of the original Battle Through the Heavens story.

First of all, the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique had a total of nine layers. According to its description, upon reaching the sixth layer, one could open every meridian in the body for cultivation.

In Lin Ming's estimation, even a Heaven Tier High-grade cultivation method probably could not open every meridian in the body for cultivation. Therefore, he guessed that the sixth layer of the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique was absolutely no weaker than a Heaven Tier High-grade cultivation method.

If the sixth layer of the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique alone was no weaker than a Heaven Tier High-grade cultivation method, then what level was its seventh layer? And what about the eighth or even ninth layer?

Thinking about this, Lin Ming began to grin foolishly. According to the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique, upon reaching the ninth layer, every cell in his body could cultivate at the same speed as an ordinary person.

Just imagine it: a person had roughly forty to sixty trillion cells. That was equivalent to the combined Cultivation Speed of forty to sixty trillion people. Such an outrageous cultivation speed was something no one had likely even imagined, let alone heard of.

Naturally, Lin Ming was delighted to obtain a cultivation method so incredible that the word outrageous was insufficient to describe it.

Of course, every gain came with a loss. Since the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique possessed such an outrageous Cultivation Speed, it naturally came with restrictions. The deeper one cultivated, the more exaggerated the energy requirements became.

According to the cultivation method, every major breakthrough would open a portion of the next layer's meridians, and roughly every three major realms would open one layer.

If he relied only on advancement to open the cultivation method's layers, then he would likely open the second layer upon becoming a Dou Ling, the third layer upon becoming a Dou Zong, and only open the fourth layer after becoming a Dou Di.

If the sixth layer was a little stronger than a Heaven Tier High-grade cultivation method, though not by much, then treating it as the most Top-tier Heaven Tier High-grade cultivation method meant the fifth layer was equivalent to a Heaven Tier Low-grade cultivation method, the fourth layer to an Earth Tier High-grade cultivation method, the third layer to an Earth Tier Low-grade cultivation method, the second layer to a Profound Tier Mid-grade cultivation method, and the first layer to a Yellow Tier High-grade cultivation method.

If he could only increase the cultivation method's layers through advancement, he might as well lie flat. At best, he would reach Dou Emperor and would not even be able to break through to Dou Zong. What Dou Emperor still used a Profound Tier Mid-grade cultivation method? Therefore, there was another way to break through the cultivation method's layers: refining and devouring external Heavenly Earth Spirit Items. And the most abundant spirit items on the Dou Qi Continent were Heavenly Flames.

Another difference between the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique and ordinary cultivation methods was that ordinary cultivation methods could only be cultivated after becoming a Dou Zhe, while the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique had to be cultivated as soon as one sensed Dou Qi. That way, after breaking through to Dou Zhe, one could become a Five Elements Body and cultivate five kinds of Dou Qi at the same time.

Just imagine it. In the original story, Feng Qing'er's wind and lightning Dou Qi alone were exceptionally fierce, and she suppressed the other three pavilions during the Four Pavilions Tournament. If she had not encountered the protagonist Xiao Yan, no one from that generation would have been her match. Yet this was five kinds of Dou Qi, and Five Elements Dou Qi that generated and restrained one another at that.

Hahaha, alright, Lin Ming had already begun imagining himself surpassing the original Xiao Yan by advancing four stages of Dou Qi in a year, becoming a Dou Zhe at eight, a Dou Master at ten, then embracing beauties left and right... punching Gu Yuan and kicking Hun Tiandi, subduing Nihility Devouring Flame, opening the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion to obtain its inheritance, and becoming a Dou Di.

As he thought about this, Lin Ming let out a piggish laugh.

After his excitement faded, Lin Ming eagerly entered cultivation.

After cultivating the Chaos Spirit Five Elements Technique, however, Lin Ming increasingly felt that something was wrong.

With the cultivation method, his Cultivation Speed should have improved drastically. Yet after cultivating, Lin Ming not only failed to feel his cultivation speeding up, but actually found it becoming a little slower.

Refusing to believe it, Lin Ming entered cultivation again, but the result was still the same. It remained slower.

After confirming that something was wrong, Lin Ming entered cultivation once more. This time, however, he diverted part of his attention to sense the changes in his body.

The moment he sensed it, Lin Ming immediately discovered the anomaly.

After entering his body, the Dou Qi was divided into five portions and flowed toward different areas.

"Fuck!" Lin Ming immediately blurted out a curse from his Previous Life.

Because under the current circumstances, he essentially had to cultivate the amount of Dou Qi required for five people.

"The amount of Dou Qi for five people? What the hell am I supposed to do with that?" At this moment, Lin Ming's dream of crushing everything instantly shattered.

"Sigh, forget it. Five people's worth it is, then. At least the power will still be impressive in the future. Most importantly, I can become an Alchemist." After muttering to himself, Lin Ming threw himself back into cultivation.

Of course, if others knew there was a cultivation method that could be cultivated from the moment one sensed Dou Qi and could even turn someone into a Five Elements Body, let alone five people's worth of Dou Qi—even fifty people's worth... Well, fifty was too much. But countless people would still be willing to cultivate it for ten people's worth.

During the Dou Qi stage, although Lin Ming had a cultivation method he could use, having to cultivate the equivalent of five people's Dou Qi actually slowed his Cultivation Speed.

Therefore, Lin Ming reaching Two Star Dou Zhi Qi in Over a Year was not only because his talent was exceptional, but also because of his considerable effort.

Otherwise, Lin Ming would not have reached the Two Star Dou Zhi Qi realm yet.
