In this world, cultivators can only abstain from grains once they reach the Divine Ability Realm; otherwise, they must eat and drink.
Of course, there is also a possibility of fasting forever, abandoning the physical body, and directly becoming a pure energy body.
Just like Ling Yi's Primordial Spirit Clone, it is a pure energy body that does not need to eat or drink at all; it can live as long as it has Genki.
As for why one can abstain from grains at the Divine Ability Realm, it's because upon reaching the Divine Ability Realm, one can selectively undergo a sublimation of the human body.
In the original language, it's called adaptive evolution—adapting to what?
Of course, it's about adapting to the body's vital Genki.
Only by completing this adaptive evolution can one truly achieve fasting.
However, this fasting practice Taiyi from the fasting practices depicted in cultivation novels.
Once you start fasting, you can no longer eat regular food because your body structure has Changes.
Or rather, after this adaptive evolution, from the perspective of physical structure and genes, it is no longer human.
From then on, he only consumed Genki and no longer ate human food.
Of course, since there is a choice of advancement, when entering the Divine Ability Realm, one can naturally choose only the Divine Ability and not undergo advancement.
Giving up sublimation means giving up fasting.
This also means that the body will become a permanent constraint, and that one will starve, die of thirst, or die of old age.
Unless one God Investiture!
Almost all cultivators choose to abstain from grains during their Divine Ability Realm.
After all, fasting has Duoduo benefits. Not only does it eliminate the need for food and water to sustain life, but it also allows for smoother Genki flow and a longer lifespan.
Let the mortal ascend to immortality, and from now on no longer be human.
So, are there any drawbacks?
Yes, from now on, there will be no more descendants.
In other words, they have lost their ability to have children.
Furthermore, after abstaining from grains at the Divine Ability Realm, one will become increasingly devoid of humanity.
They're no longer human, so naturally they've lost their humanity.
They will become increasingly indifferent and aloof.
There's a saying...
Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. In this world, those who attain immortality are no longer human, and mortals are nothing but ants.
Yes, after achieving the Divine Ability Realm and abstaining from grains, they all call themselves immortals and are no longer the same race as humans.
In Ling Yi's opinion, such an immortal is better off not having.
Besides, life is about eating, drinking, love, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. If all of these were gone, what would it be?
An emotionless intelligent robot?
What's the point of living then?
Getting back to the main point, since the oasis got water, people's lives have undergone tremendous Changes.
No one understands the importance of water in this world better than they do.
They were afraid the water would disappear again, afraid of returning to their old way of life.
Therefore, they wanted to keep Ling Yi here.
A total of 332 cultivators came together to find Ling Yi that very day.
"Senior, I wonder if this water can last?" one of them asked cautiously.
This person was the one with the highest cultivation level in the oasis after Zhao Jin and the other person died.
Qi Condensation Realm, Level Three.
However, due to the long-term lack of food and water, they were also emaciated and half-dead.
"What's your name?" Ling Yi asked.
"Reporting to Senior, my name is Zhu Siming, and I am from the Zhu Clan of Cold Yang Star."
Zhu Siming, from the Cold Yang Star Zhu Clan.
Oh, right, it seems to have been mentioned in the original text.
The female lead Zhu Rui's older brother is a minor villain.
The plot isn't extensive; it serves as foreshadowing for Liu Chen and Zhu Rui's later interactions.
"What did you do wrong? Why were you sent to the Forgotten Planet?" Ling Yi asked.
Zhu Siming said with a wry smile, "I offended the sixteenth young master of the Liu Clan, and was framed."
"I'm giving you one last chance, tell the truth!" Ling Yi said coldly.
"I..."
Seeing Ling Yi's cold gaze, Zhu Siming finally decided to tell the truth.
Those who come to the Forgotten Planet are all criminals, Central City.
There may be some who have been wrongly accused, but they are definitely not many.
Are you kidding me? How could someone who hasn't committed any serious crimes be qualified to be wanted by the Myriad Worlds Alliance?
Do you really think the Myriad Worlds Alliance can manage everything?
This Zhu Siming has hundreds of lives on his hands, some from the Liu Clan and some from the Zhu Clan family.
It all started because a woman offended the sixteenth young master of the Liu Clan. In order to get revenge, the sixteenth young master used some not-so-clever methods to frame Zhu Siming.
Everyone knew that Zhu Siming was framed, but due to the power of the Liu Clan, they all pretended not to know.
Even the Zhu Clan members tacitly accepted this because they dared not provoke the Liu Clan.
Originally, even if Zhu Siming was framed, he would only be imprisoned for a year at most.
But Zhu Siming felt abandoned by the whole world at that moment, and anger consumed his reason.
He not only hated the Sixteenth Young Master and the Liu Clan, but he also came to hate the Zhu Clan.
Coincidentally, Sixteenth Young Master even went to the prison to Taunt him.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zhu Siming kidnapped Sixteen Young Master and escaped from prison.
Afterwards, Sixteenth Young Master was killed, and his death was gruesome. More than a dozen of his Xiao Di were also killed.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
Wanted by both the Liu Clan and Zhu Clan families, Zhu Siming knew he had to leave the Golden Crow Realm.
However, the method of Teleport outside the boundary is only possessed by the constables of the Myriad Worlds Alliance.
In order to obtain the method of Teleport, he killed a constable from the Myriad Worlds Alliance. Now things have gotten even more complicated.
But Zhu Siming, who had gone completely mad, was preparing to pull off something big before leaving.
He lured the Zhu Clan and Liu Clan members who were chasing him to a valley.
Then the Self-Destruct Formation was activated.
He himself left the Golden Crow Realm using Teleport Array before the Self-Destruct Formation was activated.
After hiding for more than a decade, he was eventually caught by the constables of the Myriad Worlds Alliance and sent to the Forgotten Planet.
As for why the Myriad Worlds Alliance would send these heinous criminals to the Forgotten Planet instead of killing them directly.
There's a big secret behind this.
But we'll talk about that later.
This time, Zhu Siming didn't hide anything and told his story from beginning to end.
Ling Yi could still hear the deep resentment and anger in his words from the beginning.
Ling Yi will not comment on the good or evil involved.
As the saying goes, there's always a reason why someone is pitiful.
You must accept the punishment if you do something wrong.
However, most of the criminals on Forgotten Planet are still real criminals.
Three to five years later, most of those sent to the Forgotten Planet were no longer criminals.
Ninety-nine percent of them were wrongly accused.
This is precisely because of the secret hidden by the Forgotten Planet.
"This place is too dilapidated," the Ling Yi being said slowly, surveying the group.
"It's far inferior to the Sacred City. If you want me to stay permanently, then work hard to make this place the second Sacred City!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he turned and went back to the wooden house.
Whether these people can understand what he said is their business.
Ling Yi will likely stay on the Forgotten Planet for several years, partly to acquire the Source Devouring Technique, and partly to see if he has a chance to obtain the secrets of the Forgotten Planet.
That's half God Grade cultivation technique.
With this half of God Grade God Grade technique, finding the complete version becomes much simpler.
Of course, you can also try to find it yourself based on the original plot.
But this could very likely waste a lot of time.
If we could obtain this half of the God Grade cultivation technique ahead of time, that would be ideal.
"However, this martial arts technique is not easy to obtain!"
Something that someone has been planning for tens of thousands of years is naturally fraught with danger.
Directly attacking is definitely out of the question, so the only option left is to use cheats.
No rush, there's still plenty of time.
Let's get our hands on the Source Devouring Technique first.
Over the next few days, Ling Yi entered a state of cultivation.
Although the concentration of Genki is insufficient, it is impossible to improve one's cultivation level.
However, this does not prevent one from using the Heaven Devouring Art to enhance their own Qi and Blood.
The cultivation level cannot be improved, but the Qi and Blood remain unaffected.
Most Martial Practitioner, once they reach the Qi Condensation Realm, will basically stop trying to improve their Qi and Blood.
It's even less likely that a large amount of Genki would be wasted on strengthening Qi and Blood.
Cultivators who have reached the bottleneck of their own realm either try to go to a world with a higher concentration of Genki.
Alternatively, they could forcibly raise their cultivation level using Yuan Crystal.
Although this advancement is temporary, as long as there are enough Yuan Crystal, it is possible to maintain a higher realm.
However, the amount of Yuan Crystal consumed is terrifying.
Ordinary forces really can't afford to mess with this.
Therefore, most cultivators will try their best to go to worlds with higher concentrations of Genki.
Although there is no Ascension in this world, there is only the design of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
However, in reality, the time it takes to reach a higher concentration of Genki after one's cultivation reaches a bottleneck is roughly the same as as Ascension.
Another point is that for other cultivators who want to convert Genki into Qi and Blood, the proportion of loss in the process is too large.
The price-performance ratio isn't very high.
Ling Yi, however, is different; he possesses the Heaven Devouring Art.
It's essentially a more Northern Darkness Divine Art Genki Art.
Moreover, it was Perfection version of the Heaven Devouring Art, having comprehended the Tuntian Momentum.
It can achieve 100% conversion between Genki and Qi and Blood.
Theoretically speaking, Ling Yi can increase his Qi and Blood without limit.
This is the truly heaven-defying aspect of the Tuntian Momentum.
Even if others cultivate the Heaven Devouring Art, they cannot comprehend the Tuntian Momentum if they cannot Perfection grasp the technique.
The conversion rate won't be too high.
Besides cultivating the Heaven Devouring Art, Ling Yi is also researching the Slave Contract Talisman.
During Ling Yi's cultivation period, Liu Yun was not idle either.
In addition to continuously delivering large quantities of daily necessities to Ling Yi's side.
I also went back to Golden Crow Planet twice.
They also exchanged for two more Slave Contract Talisman and a large amount of basic knowledge related to Genki Mark.
Genki Mark) is a fundamental knowledge required for crafting weapons, alchemy, talismans, Formation, and so on.
Whether it's refining weapons or alchemy, whether it's talismans or Formation, Genki Mark are essential.
Ling Yi found alchemy, weapon crafting, and Formation too troublesome.
On the contrary, talismans are relatively easier to learn.
Talismans don't require many materials; as long as they are drawn using Genki, they can exert their corresponding power.
The reason why physical versions of talismans exist is that they can be used without requiring a very high level of cultivation.
Talismans are divided into many types depending on their materials.
Some are carved on animal hides, while others are carved on jade pieces.
Some are directly engraved on various Genki minerals.
The better the material, the more powerful the talisman can be engraved on it.
The more often it is used, the more times it will be used.
Talismans are classified into Ninth Pin based on the complexity of their Genki Mark and their power.
The lowest First Pin, and the highest is Ninth Pin.
The Slave Contract Talisman, needless to say, is extremely complex and belongs to the Seventh Pin talisman.
If someone else were researching the Slave Contract Talisman, it might be very troublesome, but Ling Yi's Primordial God is extremely powerful.
It is easy to see through the types and quantities of Genki Mark in the Slave Contract Talisman, as well as the nodes connecting the Genki Mark.
