The stone tablet outlines six realms.

"Perceiving and Circulating Qi" refers to the major stage from the beginning of cultivation to being able to perceive the primordial energy of heaven and earth and transport it into the body.

The realm of Transformation, however, is far more complex.

For those who cultivate magic, in order to achieve the great success of the Transformation Realm, they must first be able to starve their soul.

The human soul is actually nourished at every moment.

The soul is nourished by blood and qi within the body. During sleep, when blood and qi weaken, the soul is also affected by various invisible forces of lightning, magnetic energy, and light between heaven and earth.

These things are essentially food.

First, one must allow the soul to absorb and regulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth, continuously strengthening it, and thoroughly understanding and controlling every function of the soul.

Even while inside one's own body, one can refuse the nourishment of blood and qi at any time, regulate power, and turn passivity into initiative.

Then one must be able to make one's soul as stable as lead and mercury, so that even during sleep, one is not easily penetrated by the invisible external lightning, magnetic light, and energy.

If one can maintain a complete fast for one hundred days, the soul will not weaken at all.

This can be considered the "Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment" in the warlock's path.

Those who practice martial arts, if they train their body and strength, and want to reach the standard of Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment.

The goal is to nourish the physical body with the essence of heaven and earth, eventually reaching a state where one can abstain from food and water, with no heartbeat, no blood flow, no body temperature, and sleep for a hundred days.

However, even on the hundredth day, his physical strength remained at its peak. At any moment, with a thought, he could unleash his full power and strike with all his might.

Those who practice internal martial arts, if they want to Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment, must not only abstain from food but also stop absorbing vital energy, but they do not need to abstain from sleep and body temperature.

The goal is to ensure that the original purity of internal energy circulates within the body for a hundred days without any decline, remaining highly active and perfectly aligned with the mind and breath.

In this light, the so-called "Self-Perfecting Transformation" can actually be described more simply as Leakless Body.

It is divided into three paths: Leakless Innate Nature, Leakless True Force, Leakless Mystic Art.

Only after achieving the "Transformation" stage can one attempt to reach the next major realm, the "Returning Light" stage.

Chu Tianshu thought of the "Mountain Hermit's Sun-Boiling True Scripture," which did not explicitly mention the realm of "Transformation."

However, it is also mentioned that when this set of techniques is cultivated to a sufficiently profound level, there is a stage where "the cauldron is sealed, and the profound power does not decline".

This is exactly the same standard as the Leakless Mystic Art a type of martial art).

"According to the information I received..."

Yungu said, "As long as one path reaches the Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment, one can attempt to break through to the realm of Returning Light."

"However, after the first attempt to reach the Realm of Returning Light, the path will be fixed. If one only cultivates one path, one can at most have a slight understanding of the other two paths, which will be of little use."

"If one can achieve Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment, then one can attempt to break through to the Realm of Returning Light."

"Not only will they possess exceptional combat prowess among their peers in the future, but they will also be able to easily assess any situation from multiple perspectives when cultivating or handling affairs, demonstrating even greater potential."

Upon hearing this, Chen Taozhi exclaimed in surprise, "If that's the case, wouldn't those of us who have mastered martial Aperture Opening have gained a huge advantage?"

After all, those who practice martial arts and gain Aperture Opening are essentially training their bodies and strength. At a certain stage, they can also switch to cultivating internal energy.

As long as you are patient, it seems you can always achieve two kinds of success before moving on to the next level.

"That's not the case."

Yungu said, "If a person has already achieved one level of accomplishment, it will be much more difficult to achieve a second one."

"If lifespan is limited, or there are other considerations, then spending too much time honing skills at this stage might not be as meaningful as directly aiming for the next major realm."

Sun Buyuan chuckled from the side, "Little Chen, there's a method for Refining Spirit into Qi in the armory. Those of us who practice magic can also cultivate internal energy."

Chu Tianshu scratched his temple with his fingernail, his heart brimming with fighting spirit.

Mortal Transcendence Great Accomplishment, achieving three kinds of accomplishments.

With the aid of the token, if he still doesn't dare to set a goal of mastering all three, then he seems too self-deprecating.

The "Sun-Boiling True Scripture" can definitely be cultivated to a level beyond the Leakless Mystic Art.

Chu Tianshu is currently closest to achieving this.

The "General Outline of Superior Methods" is rather subtle. It focuses on techniques and can elevate other sets of techniques into a unique ultimate move. It can also be used to comprehend the corresponding elemental energy of heaven and earth, which greatly enhances combat power. It seems that it can be used for a long time.

However, it does not guide people to achieve any state of Leakless.

It seems that I should focus on finding cultivation techniques for refining the body and soul.

Perceiving Qi, Transformation, Returning Light...

Tribulation, Immortal, Ascension...

Chu Tianshu silently recited the six realms in his mind again, then took out the Great Void Heavenly Eye.

"I wasted my time today because of those Americas; I haven't even started practicing yet."

He smiled and instructed, "Don't wait for me to finish my practice today. If anything important happens, let me know immediately."

The Great Void Heavenly Eye can temper both the body and the soul.

Regardless of what kind of cultivation method I find later, I should first refine and accumulate enough experience. When the time comes, practicing it should be much smoother.

Chen Taozhi and Sun Buyuan nodded and went out to run errands.

Yungu replied, "I've learned some of your internal energy techniques, and I feel I can also be observed by this Heavenly Eye."

"Haha! That's perfect, let's give it a try together... no, let's give it a try all three of us."

Chu Tianshu glanced at the teapot on the table and tossed the Great Void Heavenly Eye into the air.

For the extremely weak Luo Sichao, the radiation from the Great Void Heavenly Eye was pure torture.

Chu Tianshu was taking a risky gamble, as he wasn't entirely confident about other aspects of the plan.

If such torture can pry open Luo Sichao's mouth, it would be an unexpected surprise.

The Heavenly Eye hovered in mid-air, emitting three emerald-colored beams of light.

Chu Tianshu and Yungu each sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate silently.

Before long, Chu Tianshu began to form hand seals in front of his chest.

White smoke rose from above Yungu's head.

The teapot on the table remained silent for a long time, then gradually trembled, as if the Evil Spirit inside was struggling.

Unfortunately, more than two hours had passed, and Yungu couldn't stand it anymore, so he went outside.

Luo Sichao is still stubbornly holding on.

A person with a conscience will have their own principles.

Even cruel, cannibalistic Evil Spirit have their own principles.

"Is this what stubbornness is...?"

Chu Tianshu glanced at the teapot and then ignored it.

Since that's the case, the Great Void Heavenly Eye intensified its illumination, gradually refining the Evil Spirit in the teapot into ash.

"Snort!"

Luo Sichao, inside the teapot, looked down at his feet and began to break down.

"Sahong won't be attacked alone like me. Although I can't guess whether he will take the initiative or continue to bide his time to plan for the bigger picture."

"But he will definitely make you experience the feeling of being on the verge of death, of being unable to control your own life."

When Luo Sichao was reduced to only his chest and above, he finally roared.

"Chu Tianshu, I curse you!"

A crack appeared in the teapot, and the emerald green light shone in even more intensely.

The remaining Spirit Body of Luo Sichao completely evaporated, and the aura of the curse was also extinguished by the emerald light.

Bamboo shadows sway outside the window, but there's not a breath of wind inside.

Chu Tianshu's hair hung down by his ears, dry and serene. His eyelids didn't move at all, and his hand seals were as steady as a mountain.

The only difference is that an Evil Spirit material has appeared on the token.

Time passed slowly, the sun's shadow gradually slanted, until Chen Taozhi hurriedly arrived.

"We have news!"

He pushed open the door and entered. "Victor is an absurdly cautious guy; he hasn't sent any more contact signals to the Golden Triangle."

"But our investigation yielded other results; we discovered that this person bought a plane ticket using a false identity, seemingly preparing to come in person."

The location is Kachin State Airport in Kingdom of Pagan.

"That place is located on the edge of the Golden Triangle, with many mountains and jungles. Victor is definitely planning to travel light as soon as he leaves the airport, taking the jungle route, making it even harder for anyone to track his whereabouts."

Chen Taozhi's face showed a hint of ruthlessness.

"Minister He said that our entire team, when deployed, is capable of fighting against the Taboo One. Shall we all go this time?!"

Chu Tianshu opened his eyes.

"If you all go with him, how can we keep it from Victor?"

"This person is indeed unexpectedly cautious... but he's not important. What's important is whether we can find Sahong's location through him."

"If we can find it, then it won't be too late to let you join the war."

Chu Tianshu looked up at the sky.

The green light from the Great Void Heavenly Eye had already been completely withdrawn and was slowly flying over. This time, Chu Tianshu did not use his hands to catch it.

Driven by his will, he changed the orientation of his Heavenly Eye from vertical to horizontal halfway through the process.

Dark eyes, emerald pupils, gradually overlapped with Chu Tianshu's right eye.

The left eye is clear and bright, while the right eye is dark and tinged with green.

Chu Tianshu lowered his eyelids and lifted them, concealing the dark emerald hue. His eyes remained normal, bright and piercing.
