Black and Yellow Qi (1/5)
Time always slips away unnoticed.
Especially when things are particularly busy, three years can pass in the blink of an eye.
This year marks the seventh year since Li Boyang came into this world; according to the traditional Chinese age reckoning, he is already eight years old.
However, thanks to Li Boyang's special circumstances, his performance in all aspects far surpasses that of children his age.
No, let alone children of the same age in this era.
Even if he were to return to the modern society of the 21st century, Li Boyang would definitely be treated as a typical example of a "monster" for research.
First, there's the most easily observable aspect: physical fitness.
To say that they could carry mountains, chase the moon, or move mountains and fill seas would be an absolute exaggeration.
But things like tearing apart tigers and leopards or lifting Nine Cauldrons were not difficult for Li Boyang.
Most importantly, Li Boyang is not the kind of big, muscular guy who looks like he only knows how to use brute force.
Li Boyang's physical qualities are specifically manifested in his exaggerated athletic performance.
From pure strength to lung capacity, and then to neural recruitment and reflexes.
Li Boyang's athletic performance in all aspects has reached an incredible level.
If we had to make a horizontal comparison, perhaps only Li Jingshu, who also practiced the "Breathing Method," could be compared to her.
When Li Jingshu was nine years old, she already had the ability to climb Ghost God Cliff on her own.
Once one becomes familiar with the "Exercise-Based Life Primordial Qi Regulation Breathing Method," and can fill the body with Life Primordial Qi through the flow of breath, one can remain unharmed even if falling from a great height.
It's no exaggeration to say that, with her protective Gang Qi, Li Jingshu's body was practically indistinguishable from steel.
Li Boyang, who is only seven years old this year, has already surpassed Li Jingshu, who is practicing internal Gang Qi, in terms of pure physical fitness.
"Call!"
They sat cross-legged in the waterfall pool at the foot of Flying Peak.
Li Boyang intentionally restrained his indestructible Body-Protecting Sword Qi, only enduring the intense impact of the waterfall with his physical body.
Before Li Boyang arrived at Flying Peak, the water flow and impact of this waterfall were not as strong as they are now.
Only after mastering the "Exercise-Type Life Primordial Qi Regulation Breathing Method" did his essence and energy overflow naturally.
Anyone who wishes to transcend the physical realm and engage in spiritual practice must first learn to "enter samadhi" (a state of deep meditation).
This is because it is the introductory requirement for "The Quiet Type: Perception and Advanced Method of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi".
The problem is that, regardless of whether it 'Li Jingshu or Xiluo, their physical abilities far exceed the limits of normal living beings.
The ordinary force of the waterfall could not suppress their distracting thoughts.
Not to mention helping them enter that meditative state where "one thought arises and ten thousand thoughts cease."
Left with no other choice, Li Boyang had to dig several more streams above Flying Peak, and then, through several years of Summoning Clouds and Bringing Rain, finally increased the waterfall's flow.
Even now, Li Jingshu, whose physique has gradually become inhuman, is no exception.
If one doesn't activate their protective Gang Qi, they wouldn't be able to stand for more than a few seconds under the impact of the waterfall.
As for someone like Li Boyang, who sat cross-legged under a waterfall in quiet meditation?
Perhaps only Xiluo, who can never calm down, has this kind of physical ability!
"Call!
Three eyes closed, breathing smoothly -
Through years of quiet meditation, Li Boyang had long since mastered the true No-Mind Samadhi.
When the mind is focused, spirituality naturally manifests.
The surging Life Primordial Qi flowed through Li Boyang's acupoints, but was always confined within his meridians.
Only when it flows through the Dantian and the space between the eyebrows will the Life Primordial Qi decrease slightly, becoming nourishment for the growth of the Sword Pill and the Heavenly Eye.
However, more Life Primordial Qi will enhance Li Boyang's physical qualities during the circulation process, and then become purer and more abundant through the feedback from his body.
Tumultuous!
At that moment, a ray of inspiration emerged from the depths of Li Boyang's soul.
However, this glimmer of light did not transform into Primordial Spirit as before, but instead intervened in the flow of Life Primordial Qi.
In a state of No-Mind Samadhi, Li Boyang did not entertain any thoughts, but rather observed the free expression of that spirituality as if it were an ancient and enduring Dao.
As a result, the Life Primordial Qi, after being imprinted with the mark of spiritual light, became unusually active.
At this moment, Li Boyang's essence, energy, and spirit were perfectly integrated, seemingly forming an independent cycle distinct from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi) began to respond to that spiritual call.
It should be noted that ever since Li Boyang transferred the Curse of the Fu to his shadow, his body has been filled with only pure Life Primordial Qi.
But now, new Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is flowing into his body.
More importantly, this Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is not the Earth Veins Sha Qi, but a complex collection of many kinds of Yuan Qi.
There is the blazing energy of the sun, and the primordial energy of the Earth Veins's Earth Veins.
It possesses the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, born from all living beings and the entire universe.
One—as mysterious and profound as heaven and earth, as enduring as the Great Dao.
That complex primordial Yuan Qi perfectly matched Li Boyang's own characteristics, and quickly merged with the Life Primordial Qi within his body. Under a series of complex chemical reactions that Li Boyang could not yet understand, a brand new primordial Yuan Qi, displaying a mysterious yellow color, was born.
"Call!"
In an instant, Li Boyang suddenly awoke from his state of "No-Mind Samadhi" and realized that the essence of this mysterious Black and Yellow Qi was the essence of heaven and earth, the spirit of all things, and a manifestation of his own cognition.
When the Life Primordial Qi completely transforms into the Black and Yellow Qi.
Li Boyang's meridians and physical body also exhibited a dazzling golden hue.
This Black and Yellow Qi not only preserved all the attributes of Life Primordial Qi, but also endowed Li Boyang with an additional ability—to be unaffected by cause and effect.
Or, to be more precise, it is about completely merging oneself into all things and becoming a part of nature.
Li Boyang had just begun to consider taking over his current situation.
His intuition told him that the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron was completely incapable of taking over his current state.
The Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron can only determine that Li Boyang is an ordinary person, and then use the fate of an ordinary person to deduce the possibilities of the future.
Of course, Li Boyang could also transform himself into Mountain Folk, a spirit, a priest, or a series of other special destinies that he knew or had come into contact with, in order to mislead the divination of the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron.
That Big Black Dog really went down the wrong path...
[Forcibly combining essence, energy, and spirit by discarding all external interference is not the Orthodox Dao at all.]
Humans are an integral part of the universe; how can they truly exist independently?
Only this natural and perfectly integrated state qualifies one to achieve the true "Dao of Unity of Heaven and Humanity."
When this thought popped into Li Boyang's mind.
The Sword Pill in the Dantian immediately responded, greedily devouring the new Black and Yellow Qi like Taotie.
In an instant, the Sword Pill, like Life Primordial Qi, was stained with a dark yellow color.
Subsequently, the Heavenly Eye between Li Boyang's eyebrows also reacted, beginning to absorb and digest the Black and Yellow Qi in a relatively gentle manner.
[Using the body as a furnace, the spirit as the guide, and the firewood as fuel]
[It is formed by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and all things, and undergoing nine cycles to become the "Golden Core".]
[The elixir formed by that Big Black Dog lacked the essence of all things; at best, it could only be called Primordial Core.]

However, I still need to revise the specific chapter content, so the update speed may be a little slower.
