Speaking of cultivation, he cultivated.
A man of action, Li Su did not hesitate. He plunged his mind into the sea of consciousness and began studying that strange scripture.
Using essence, qi, and spirit as his foundation, he began cultivating, constructing what the scripture described within and evolving the Three Gods Illustrated Codex.
Before long, Li Su opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body seemed somewhat listless.
That mouthful of blood was far from ordinary.
It contained not only red, but also white and colorless blood.
He was injured—and all three of his essence, qi, and spirit had been hurt. Even a miraculous fleshly sacred body like the Heaven-and-Earth Dao Body could not make him immune; the minute parts of his five organs had been torn slightly.
Opening his eyes, Li Su was a little startled. He had anticipated that this technique would not be easy to cultivate, but he had never expected it to be this difficult.
Its requirements were simply too high, especially the extensions into minute details. It was enough to make one's scalp go numb.
It was like painting on paper, sketching a person down to the finest details—even drawing the cell walls on their face—while not being allowed to make a single mistake from beginning to end.
In other words, every one of several billion strokes had to be perfectly placed, flawless in every way.
As a result, Li Su had barely begun when a single erroneous stroke caused everything to collapse. What he had built beforehand was affected as well, creating ripples that exploded and injured his internal organs.
Fortunately, Li Su's body was incredibly powerful, and he also had the Five Elements Pearl, a recovery treasure. Even vital areas like the internal organs could recover quickly.
