Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist
Chapter 510 - 289: Refining Spirit with Gale Force! Five-Thunder Annihilation Hand!
After acquiring the memories of these two people, Su Que learned quite a few spells.
Fogging Formation, Fire-Breathing, Sword Control...
From their memories, he discovered that the two came from two Small Worlds focused on Heavy Magic and Light Martial Arts.
Their cultivation paths were not significantly different from the Small World where Martial Arts thrived that he came from.
When cultivating, he first honed the physical body, then the spirit.
Whereas they honed the spirit first, then the physical body.
Only the order was reversed, but the cultivation method was essentially the same.
The spirit and the body also unite at the Tribulation Seed Realm stage.
This could be described as different paths leading to the same destination.
However, in Su Que’s Small World, this Realm is called the Tribulation Seed Realm.
While in the other two Small Worlds, it had different names.
One called it the "Core Formation Realm", and the other the "Unity Realm".
Though the names differ, their essence is the same.
Merely going through Soul Emergence, Night Wanderer, Day Wanderer, Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire.
After experiencing these stages, Essence Qi, Spirit, and Body can completely unify to gain the power of ascension.
After absorbing their Essence Qi, Spirit, and Body, Su Que looked at his attributes.
Realm: Tribulation Seed Realm, Fourth Stage, Day Wanderer
’As expected, I have advanced!’
Once Su Que merged the two Affiliated Demon Seeds into his own Lifebound Demon Seed, he immediately felt a surge in spirit, and his Spiritual Sense became much clearer.
Knowing he advanced, Su Que instantly focused his mind and activated his Lifebound Demon Seed.
The Lifebound Demon Seed swiftly rose in his Dantian, traveling along his Ren Meridian, then burst out through his skull!
As the dense fog gradually dispersed, glaring sunlight shone down from the sky, directly striking his Tribulation Seed.
Yet, he felt not an ounce of pain.
The Tribulation Seed soared through the heavens at an extremely rapid speed.
He climbed straight to the Nine Heavens and rose to a certain height.
With a thought, his Lifebound Demon Seed transformed into a ray of light, quickly re-entering his skull.
Based on the memory of the cultivators from the Upper Realm, he knew that upon reaching "Day Wanderer" in the Tribulation Seed Realm, one could ascend to the Upper Realm purely with the spirit.
However, only the spirit would go to the Upper Realm.
The spirit is much more fragile than the physical body.
Throughout an unknown millennia of cultivation history, many methods were devised to contend against the spirit.
But as long as the spirit resides within the physical body, protected by the body, these spirit-harming methods become much less effective.
Therefore, immortals striving for longevity would choose to ascend bodily for future cultivation.
Upon reaching the peak of the Tribulation Seed Realm and achieving "Unity of Spirit and Body," one can undergo bodily ascension.
These two cultivators were cultivators above the Tribulation Seed Realm.
Moreover, they had been cultivating their spirit from the beginning.
Thus, their spirit in the Merging Realm was stronger than Martial Arts cultivators of the same level.
After absorbing their Essence Qi, Spirit, and Body, Su Que’s spirit immediately surged.
The strength of his spirit was no longer just at the fourth stage of the Tribulation Seed Realm.
The reason why his attribute panel showed the realm hadn’t advanced was that he hadn’t yet overcome the Four Tribulations of Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire.
Experiencing these Four Tribulations not only enhances the spirit but also increases the degree of Unity of Spirit and Body.
Passing the Four Tribulations, one initially achieves Unity of Spirit and Body.
Once stabilized, complete Unity of Spirit and Body culminates in bodily ascension.
According to the memories acquired through Telepathy, the Four Tribulations of Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire, Wind is the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, Thunder is the rumbling Celestial Thunder, Water is the Earth Fiend Profound Water, Fire is the Taiyang Fierce Fire or Earth Core Fierce Fire.
In theory, in every Small World, these four elements are uncommon.
So, even venturesome cultivators, seeking to transcend, can’t do so whenever they please.
At this thought, Su Que wondered how fast he could undergo the tribulation. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The Nine Heavens Gang Wind isn’t a constant occurrence.
He had to maintain his Tribulation Seed at a high altitude for a long time, waiting for the Nine Heavens Gang Wind to blow.
Moreover, sometimes the Nine Heavens Gang Wind isn’t strong enough to pose any tribulation for his Tribulation Seed.
Suddenly, Su Que’s eyes lit up.
He accessed Luo San’s memory through Telepathy, knowing that within Luo San’s Storage Pouch, there were over a hundred "Gang Wind Talismans".
The Gang Wind released by these Talismans is more formidable than the Nine Heavens Gang Wind.
This Gang Wind is pitch-black, akin to Evil Qi, seemingly embedded with blades.
When the Gang Wind is unleashed, it can inflict multiple cuts on even a Martial Artist with a robust physique.
Let alone a spirit that is far more fragile than the physical body.
Thus, Su Que intended to use the "Gang Wind Talismans" in lieu of the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, to cross the Wind Tribulation.
Seeing the seclusion of this valley made it a perfect cultivation spot for Su Que.
Moreover, since many bizarre events had occurred here, the local populace dared not approach, which was ideal for his training.
He immediately ventured to the valley’s depths, finding an open space away from the herb fields to sit.
From Luo San’s Storage Pouch, he took out more than a hundred "Gang Wind Talismans".
The "Gang Wind Talismans" differed from the Talismans he had seen before, being black with purple script.
First, he focused his mind, causing his Lifebound Demon Seed to rise from his Dantian and emerge from his skull.
The Demon Seed, emitting a faint purple glow, floated high above his head.
As spirit and body were unified, although his spirit was disembodied, it remained connected to his body.
His spirit, even high above, could still manipulate his body.
His right hand pinched a Gang Wind Talisman.
The Lifebound Demon Seed above his head emitted a purple aura, transmitting Essence Qi, Spirit, and Body through its connection to his body.
The Essence Qi, Spirit, and Body transmitted to the body then flowed through his fingers holding the Talisman, transferring onto the Gang Wind Talisman.
