With a light leap, he soared several dozen feet into the air, and with a tap of his toes, his figure rose even higher.
With a slight movement of his mental energy, he emitted a wave, sensing everything around him: the air, the space, and himself.
Soaring through the sky, constantly amplifying his senses and capturing every fluctuation, Li Su's figure, at the moment of reaching its peak, captured something. He stretched out his body and relied on that feeling.
It's the wind!
Coming from the west, heading east.
Hanging in the strong wind, Li Su's body did not descend in an incredibly strange way, but instead continued to drift with the wind.
Body, mind, and will—all three were fully opened at this moment, merging into the Dao Heart Demon-Planting Technique without reservation, constantly capturing all fluctuations around them.
Ten zhang, one hundred zhang.
In the gentle breeze, Li Su defied the laws of physics, merging herself into the world around her, drifting with the omnipresent ripples.
Am I flying?
Feeling the incredible scene unfolding before him, Li Su was slightly surprised, yet utterly calm.
They sped along, for ten miles, for a hundred miles.
Rumble!
Finally, they arrived at a waterfall. As if sensing something, Li Su gracefully descended and landed on the river in front of the enormous waterfall.
Li Su stepped lightly onto the water's surface, his eyes calm and unwavering. He stood there quietly, watching the surging torrent.
fluctuation.
Countless fluctuations.
As the torrents plunged down, concentric rings of ripples exploded continuously before his eyes.
Standing there, Li Su couldn't help but stare blankly.
Leaping water, splashing water, thrashing water.
They come in all shapes and sizes, each unique.
Sounds, millions of them.
The commotion was countless.
The enormous waterfall presented Li Su with a scene beyond imagination.
He stood there quietly, gazing at the waterfall before him.
One day, two days, three days.
The stay lasted a full thirty days.
Standing before the waterfall, Li Su watched and felt the undulations of the waterfall, the undulations of the water flow, the undulations of the rocks, the undulations of the vegetation, the undulations of the air, the undulations of the wind, and the undulations of life itself.
Capture, capture, keep capturing.
Gradually, gradually, changes began to occur in his eyes, his ears, his thoughts, and his spirit.
Instead of capturing images through the five senses such as light, vibration, and smell, it uses vibrations to capture one strange and unique scene after another, never repeated.
As Li Su continued to capture, his spirit began to change, and the fluctuations radiating from his body began to change, merging with the place he was in, and merging himself with the grass, rocks, waterfalls, rapids, wind, and air.
Little by little, drop by drop.
Through continuous and profound integration, a person who should have stood out awkwardly in front of the waterfall inexplicably blends into this world and becomes a part of the scenery.
Immersed, constantly immersed.
Gradually, Li Su sensed and touched upon something indescribable in words.
Yes, the Way!
In an instant, Li Su sensed something. This feeling was familiar to him, though somewhat different; he had felt it before with Heavenly Blade Song Que.
To be precise, it's the final move of the Heavenly Blade, Heavenly Blade Seeks the Dao.
That is Song Que's Dao, the Dao of the Sword.
What Li Su is experiencing now is something else entirely; if one had to describe it, it would be the Way of Ripples.
Although they are formed in different ways and have different structures, they are somewhat similar.
All things return to one?
Or perhaps it's a case of all streams flowing into one?
The ultimate goal of martial arts practitioners is to achieve a state of harmony Celestial Person, a state of merging with the Dao.
Li Su was deeply moved, and tears streamed down his face. Every cell in his body seemed to be touched and began to vibrate, trembling along with the fluctuations in the heavens and earth.
Splash!
True Qi began to surge, and the Dao Heart Demon-Planting Technique headed towards the Demon Transformation Eleven.
As if sensing something, the Nine Yang in Li Su's mind also began to vibrate. The newly risen sun began to rise, and an invisible heat spontaneously rose from the depths of the cells, the ends of the meridians, and the center of the bone marrow, as if it would burn everything through. purple qi began to appear on Li Su's body, with red light in the purple qi, and a magnificent sun rising in the red light.
Power, incredible power, is converging.
The pupils began to change little by little, with purple qi flowing into them, merging into the depths of the eyes and transforming into Kindling Flame. It ignited and transformed into a great sun.
Above the dantian, the Dao Heart Demon Seed sensed something and began to surge forth unrestrainedly, a strange fluctuation emanating from within, one meter, ten meters, a hundred meters.
When it reached its limit, it collapsed suddenly. At this moment, the light seemed to be Twist and pulled by Li Su's body. The closer it got to Li Su, the more intense the fluctuations became. Gradually, the light began to tremble and vibrate, squeezed and deformed by the fluctuations, shattered, and turned into a light-devouring abyss.
The Nine Yang Divine Skill, at its ninth level of perfection, enters the realm of ultimate yang without leakage.
The Dao Heart Demon Seed, Demon Transformation Eleven, Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Perfection, the Realm of Primordial Unity.
Taking a deep breath, Li Su felt utterly refreshed. He looked around at everything with emotion, and no words could describe the feelings and the shock he felt at that moment.
Following the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art, Li Su once again cultivated two Shattering-level techniques to their highest level. He was only missing the accumulation of power and the existence of an opponent to reach the Shattering Realm.
Whew!
Li Su exhaled a long, long breath of black, murky air, feeling completely refreshed.
That was the last breath of stale air in his body. Immediately, all of Li Su's pores opened, drawing oxygen directly from the air, and he stepped into the state of innate purity.
Its strength has reached a new level.
However, for some inexplicable reason, Li Su blinked, and countless images began to surface in her mind—characters that no one could understand, composed of the oldest hieroglyphs.
The painting depicts seven images of qi, strange and mysterious.
The Longevity Formula!
In an instant, Li Su realized the source of this content: a secret manual of Daoist arts defined by the World Book.
What was originally completely incomprehensible became clear to Li Su as he integrated with the heavens and earth through the fluctuations, captured the fluctuations, and understood and felt the Dao. These inexplicable words began to resonate with him, and he began to gain some insight.
This is not a method of cultivation.
It's a record!
In ancient times, Guangchengzi recorded what he saw and heard.
The text tells the story of an unknown era, the story of a certain creature.
No wonder no one has been able to master it.
No wonder he went mad from practicing it for so long.
The routes depicted in those seven diagrams are not the routes used in True Qi practice.
The fact that the Twin Dragons technique was successfully mastered was entirely due to chance, coupled with the fact that the Nine Mysteries Great Method Techniques had only been learned to the first level—opening the human body's treasures—and it was all due to extremely good luck.
It could be said that they may have practiced the techniques using the Qi circulation diagram of the Longevity Formula, but what they were actually cultivating was not the Longevity Formula.
No, it should be said that they accidentally created the Longevity Formula through the Daoist Longevity Formula.
No wonder their True Qi was so mysterious, no wonder their upper limit was so amazing. Even if its nature was reduced, the Longevity Formula is still the Longevity Formula.
Even Li Su had to cultivate the Dao Heart Demon-Planting Technique to the Demon Transformation Eleven and comprehend the existence of the Dao before he could see its true form. This shows how high the foundation of the Longevity Formula is.
The Longevity Formula, no wonder it's called the Longevity Formula.
There exists a beast in the heavens and earth, named the Black Tortoise. It is about ten thousand miles long, with four legs like pillars supporting the sky. Its vitality is as great as a mountain, and its lifespan is as vast as the sea, seemingly endless.
The seven diagrams are the Daoist formulas created by Guangchengzi after observing the Black Tortoise.
Driven by spirit, it absorbs the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to replenish itself and Longevity Art.
The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little.
The way of humanity is to embrace the universe and strengthen oneself.
Creation, creation, the creation of heaven and earth.
In that instant, Li Su's entire body unfolded with exquisite precision.
From the first diagram to the seventh diagram, seven acupoints—Laogong, Yintang, Yinjiao, Tanzhong, Qihai, Baihui, and Yongquan—are activated. Experiencing the Longevity Formula, Li Su, through the Dao Heart Demon-Planting Technique, begins to capture the purification of heaven and earth, incorporating it into his body along the Qi circulation route through the seven acupoints.
One hour, two hours.
As he continuously absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, gradually, gradually, Li Su began to feel it.
The marching routes of the seven diagrams of the Longevity Formula were etched and memorized within his body, gradually forming mysterious patterns.
Exhale, inhale!
Once, again and again.
As the patterns formed, with each breath Li Su took, the patterns themselves would flash.
With each flash, the Spiritual Qi absorbed into the body is quickly absorbed by the patterns, and then a wisp of energy flows out, rippling through the body and finally settling in the kidneys.
The Black Tortoise belongs to the water element.
Inhale and exhale True Qi, True Qi Spirit Transformation, and divine water nourishes the kidneys.
When the kidneys are strong, the yang energy is sufficient. When the yang energy is sufficient, the essence and qi are abundant. When the essence and qi are abundant, the blood is vigorous.
Like a chain reaction, with each breath Li Su took, his body was transforming, little by little, from the very core, from the deepest part of his being.
That change is not simply a matter of strengthening; it is a deeper change, a change that occurs at the level of the soul, at the depths of the cells, and at the DNA level.
Feeling the changes in her body, Li Su slowly opened her eyes and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
No wonder the World Book defines it as a Daoist method, not a cultivation technique.
There is no doubt that there is a fundamental difference between the two.
What a pity, what a pity, what a real pity.
In this world of Twin Dragons, it was basically destined that he would not be able to successfully cultivate the Longevity Formula. Although he had already started practicing it and was also absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, when he summoned the World Book and turned to the page on the Longevity Formula, Li Su sighed.
It still shows that cultivation is impossible!
While that element does exist to some extent in the Twin Dragons world, it's far too little, far too little.
Within a single space, the amount that can be absorbed in a single breath is far too small.
If this were truly a world where cultivation is possible, upon achieving success, Li Su's single breath should trigger a transformation, allowing his physical body to transcend the realm of mortals and enter the realm of immortal cultivation, while also acquiring the innate abilities possessed only by the Black Tortoise.
That is, supernatural powers!
Cultivating within the Twin Dragons lacks this mythical element; while the Longevity Formula can still yield benefits, its effectiveness will be minimal.
One percent, no, less than one-thousandth.
At most, it only extends lifespan, strengthens vitality, and enhances mental strength; that's all.
Of course, even so, it's still quite remarkable.
As Li Su practiced the Longevity Formula, he sensed that his cultivation level was loosening.
The Great Perfection of the Demon Transformation Eleven is being nurtured. The incubation process, which would normally take decades to complete, may be fully transformed in a few years, allowing it to step into the supreme Twelfth Demonic Immortal realm.
With a long breath, Li Su stopped cultivating. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he leaped up, his body merging into the wind. After identifying his location, he determined his direction and headed towards the First Tower's territory outside Song Family Mountain City.
I've been in Song Family Mountain City for about half a month now, and I've been cultivating for more than two months, so it's been almost three months. The Mercy Voyage Sword Studio Sect's operation shouldn't be too far off.
********
The Shu Road!
"I can't believe even you guys came!"
" The First Tower has been under close scrutiny since his appearance. He is too dangerous. Although he has not yet intervened in the struggle for supremacy, his way of thinking, his governing philosophy in Nanning, and his prestige among the people are all too terrifying. Once he unifies the world, the entire world will be plunged into war because of his ideas."
One of them was dressed in white and exuded a sword-like aura.
"Why not eliminate a potential major enemy?"
This was a towering man, dressed in clothing different from that of the Central Plains. He was as hot as the sun and exuded boundless domineering power.
Not far from the three people, to the west, five imposing monks sat cross-legged on the ground, chanting softly, and the surroundings were peaceful.
To the south, five people stood silently, the leader of whom was the same group that had ambushed Li Su on the Tianjin Bridge in Luoyang a few months earlier.
Thirteen people!
Thirteen people in total.
Normally, the mere appearance of one of them would be enough to shock the world and make the martial arts world tremble, but at this moment they have all come to the Ba-Shu region, which has never been the center since the world fell into chaos.
The Shu Road Shu Road is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven.
With their arrival, it seemed as if this signified that from this moment forward, even immortals would find no escape.
