Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

After several consecutive, relentless teleportations over extremely long distances, Ying Xuan flew tens of thousands of miles in one breath, finally landing on a desolate, remote, and utterly devoid of spiritual energy small volcanic island deep in the Pacific Ocean.

"call……"

Even with Ying Xuan's resolute will, he couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air, a hint of lingering fear and a bitter smile appearing on his face.

"I was careless... I was truly blinded by greed."

He shook his head and muttered to himself, inwardly cursing himself for not being cautious enough. He had only seen the astonishing value of the dragon vein and the spiritual medicine, but had forgotten what a terrifying being was involved behind it all!

Ruthless Great Emperor! He walks the path of immortality in the mortal world, creating laws in the impossible, defying the heavens to prove the Dao with a mere mortal body, and even comprehending the laws of space and time, going against the flow of time to find his lost brother! His talent, his combat power, and his obsession make him one of the most outstanding beings in the history of this world.

The magical artifacts she crafted possessed astonishing power.

Although Ying Xuan was unsure of the ruthless person's true state and specific realm at this moment, there was no doubt that this was an existence whose strength far surpassed his own! He had not yet completely transformed his primordial spirit and physical body into pure yang, achieving a true earth immortal body, nor had he begun to condense immortal energy.

According to common knowledge in the cultivation world, before one has formed an immortal body and accumulated immortal energy, even if one wields an immortal weapon, the power one can unleash is extremely limited, making it difficult to contend with true immortal figures, let alone someone as exceptionally talented as Ruthless.

If that gaze had been a wisp of killing intent cast from the Ruthless Man himself across the endless starry sky, he probably wouldn't have even had a chance to teleport!

"Touch her brother's grave? She'll probably fight me to the death right now."

Ying Xuan calmed down and completely abandoned his idea of ​​forcibly breaking into Kunlun to seize the treasure. Some opportunities are meant to be seen, but not taken.

He surveyed the desolate island, a thought forming in his mind. From his sleeve flew out one hundred and eight array flags, shimmering with starlight, precisely disappearing into the void and ground surrounding the island according to the positions of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiends. In an instant, a "Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiends Grand Array" covering the entire island and its surrounding sea was quietly formed.

As the formation activated, space slightly distorted, and the island "disappeared" from external perception, as if it were just an ordinary sea area and turbulent currents. Inside the formation, space was reinforced and folded layer by layer, forming a relatively independent and stable temporary grotto-heaven.

Ying Xuan was certain that even if a ruthless person like him had doubts and followed the faint traces of his previous teleportation to find this place, it would not be easy for him to break through the blockade of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array silently and accurately find himself hidden deep in the array space in a short time.

This bought him valuable time to respond or evacuate.

After setting up an array to isolate the inside from the outside, Ying Xuan finally felt a little relieved.

He did not immediately begin cultivating or doing anything else, but instead sat cross-legged on a flat rock and took out an object.

It was a palm-sized piece of metal, neither gold nor jade, yet shimmering with a dark golden luster and incredibly heavy. It was densely covered with ancient characters and Daoist patterns. It was the "Daoist Scripture: Wheel Sea Scroll," a basic cultivation technique of the human race in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, which he had casually copied when he "borrowed" it from the Tai Xuan Sect's library.

This scripture is the beginning of the oldest and most orthodox pure body-refining cultivation method of the human race in this world. It expounds a complete set of basic methods for tempering the physical body and developing human potential, from opening the sea of ​​suffering to connecting the life spring, building the divine bridge, and reaching the other shore.

Ying Xuan's consciousness sank into the metal plate, and the profound scriptures and Dao diagrams immediately flooded into his mind.

The names, connections, and preliminary cultivation concepts of the five great secret realms—Sea of ​​Wheels, Palace of the Dao, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform—gradually emerge.

It clashed and merged fiercely with his own Maoshan Sect Yuan Shen cultivation method, the Hua Shen cultivation method of the Mortal Cultivation Legend, and even the basic cultivation method of "Jing Qi Shen" that he created in the Great Qin World by combining multiple systems, which aimed to break through to the first level of life!
Previously in the Qin Dynasty, in order to help his concubines and key ministers break through the limits of the mortal world, he had tried to integrate a relatively simple body-refining method, which focused on stimulating life potential and harmonizing essence, energy and spirit. It did indeed help some people successfully break through.

However, that method lacked staying power, lacking a systematic path to advancement and deeper theoretical support. It was more like a "forced ripening" technique, making it difficult to promote and continuously improve.

At this moment, upon encountering the ancient practice of the "Taoist Scripture," which directly points to the secrets of the human body and systematically develops the spiritual treasures of the physical body, many new ideas and inspirations burst forth in his mind like a spring!
"The Sea of ​​Wheels corresponds to the lower dantian, the place where the Wheel of Life and the Sea of ​​Suffering coexist, containing the mysteries of life and death... The Dao Palace corresponds to the five internal organs, nurturing the five vital energies and spirits... The Four Extremes correspond to the four limbs, connecting the four extremes of heaven and earth... The Dragon Transformation corresponds to the spine, the great dragon of the human body, leading directly to the Immortal Platform..."

"The five secret realms advance layer by layer, from the inside out, from the real to the unreal, ultimately reaching the sea of ​​consciousness, pursuing physical immortality and eternal life... This is different from the path of primordial spirit cultivation, which goes from the unreal to the real, condenses pure yang, and nourishes the physical body. Although they have different focuses, they seem to... complement each other in some way? Or even... merge?"

Ying Xuan's eyes gleamed.

He seemed to see the prototype of a new cultivation path that was grander, more balanced, and took into account both the immortality of the physical body and the transcendence of the primordial spirit!

If we can use this systematic body-refining secret realm method as a framework, integrate the essence of primordial spirit cultivation, and combine it with the laws and spiritual energy environment that the Great Qin world is currently nurturing, we can create a brand-new comprehensive cultivation system suitable for the people of Great Qin...

The thought excited him. But he quickly calmed down.

"The idea is good, but experimentation, simulation, and completion... all take time, and even more so, a large number of 'experiments' and observational data are needed."

Ying Xuan shook his head.

He is now alone here, without the vast number of cultivators in the Great Qin World as a reference and testing ground. Trying to figure things out on his own is too inefficient and the risks are unpredictable.

The Great Qin world has hundreds of millions of people and a growing group of cultivators. Creating and perfecting a universal cultivation system should have been the responsibility of the wise men and cultivators of that world to explore and complete together over a long period of time, taking into account the characteristics of the world.

As the master of the world, I can provide direction, ideas, and high-level cultivation methods for reference, but it is neither necessary nor possible for me to take care of everything.

"My priority right now is to integrate what I've learned and improve my skills."

Ying Xuan's gaze was resolute. "Once my body is fully transformed into a pure Yang immortal body, and I begin to condense immortal energy, truly stepping into the threshold of the immortal path, my strength will experience a qualitative leap. At that time, whether exploring this realm or returning to the Great Qin to deal with possible changes, I will be much more at ease."

As for creating a new system? That's a matter for later. The cultivators of Qin can gradually comprehend, integrate, and innovate based on the existing foundation. I only need to grasp the general direction and provide the crucial "spark."

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Ying Xuan calmed his mind completely.

He sat cross-legged, with his five palms facing the sky, and began to try his first steps in cultivating the body-refining methods of this world that covered the heavens, according to the explanations in the Wheel Sea Chapter of the Daoist Scripture.

He neither has nor needs the "source" stones or spiritual liquids commonly used by cultivators in this realm.

His goal was not to start cultivating the Sea of ​​Bitterness from scratch, but to use his already attained Earth Immortal level cultivation and terrifying life accumulation to "activate" and "explore" his corresponding "Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm," to extract the unique essence of this realm's body-refining method, and to conduct preliminary verification and integration with his original system.

The mind sinks into the lower dantian, which is the so-called "sea of ​​suffering" in this world.

Ying Xuan's understanding of the dantian was already deeply ingrained.

With a thought, he mobilized three forces.

The pure and refined primordial spirit power, the immense physical strength hidden deep within every cell, and the vast and boundless life force accumulated through multiple life leaps!

Any one of these three forces, taken out, far surpasses the total "divine power" within the sea of ​​suffering of ordinary cultivators in the Sendai Secret Realm! At this moment, under Ying Xuan's conscious guidance, they surged like three raging dragons into the chaotic region that was regarded as the coexistence of the Wheel of Life and the Sea of ​​Death!

Without using the Spirit Liquid Source Stone as a "key" and "fuel", Ying Xuan relied entirely on his own unreasonable accumulation to forcefully "knock on the gate"!
"Boom!"

Within his inner vision, a tremendous roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, seemed to erupt deep within his dantian! Three forces, vastly different yet equally powerful, collided, merged, annihilated, and were reborn within it! The once dormant sea of ​​suffering was instantly illuminated, bursting forth with dazzling light!

Unlike ordinary cultivators who, when opening up their sea of ​​suffering, have their life essence devoured by the sea and transformed into "sea of ​​suffering death energy," Ying Dao's life force was so pure and vast that the "death" attribute of the sea of ​​suffering could not be completely eroded and transformed in a short time.

Instead, during the violent collision, some of the life force was further purified and condensed, and then... began to slowly flow back, nourishing every cell in his body!
Those cells that had been gradually approaching a certain "limit" due to his focus on cultivating his primordial spirit and had been baptized by spiritual energy, were now rejuvenated under the backflow of this more refined and vast life force that had been "tempered" by the sea of ​​suffering!

The cell structure seems to be undergoing fine-tuning and optimization, becoming more resilient, more active, and able to contain and generate more life energy!
And the new, even greater life force surges forth from these revitalized cells, flowing back into the sea of ​​suffering, forming a wondrous cycle!

"interesting!"

Ying Xuan understood immediately.

"At first glance, this Heaven-Covering Technique seems to consume enormous resources to break through the Sea of ​​Bitterness and develop the body's potential. In reality, during the breakthrough process, the Sea of ​​Bitterness itself is like a special 'furnace' or 'filter,' which 'tempers' and 'purifies' the injected life force to a certain extent, and then partially flows back, promoting the overall transformation and sublimation of all the body's cells!"
This is a domineering method that promotes evolution through 'consumption'! It is indeed quite different from the path of primordial spirit cultivation, which indirectly nourishes the physical body by sensing the heavens and earth and refining the spirit.

He was not a beginner, but a Nascent Soul cultivator standing on the threshold of Earth Immortal. Although he was no stranger to the methods of body refinement, this was the first time he had come across such a direct, efficient, and seemingly highly quantifiable method of "life purification and overall evolution."

This further elevated his evaluation of the Shrouding the Heavens system. The fact that so many cultivators in this world, despite scarce resources and harsh environments, could still produce individuals with formidable physical strength and astonishing combat power is largely due to this unique cultivation philosophy.

"I don't need to rely on external things; my own accumulation is the best resource."

With unwavering resolve, Ying Xuan focused entirely on the initial exploration and integration of this new power system, no longer distracted by other matters. Within his body, the "Sea of ​​Bitterness Transformation" triggered by his vast accumulation was evolving in an unknown and intriguing direction.

What he needs to do is guide this power to explore more of the mysteries of his own body, laying a more solid foundation for the upcoming transformation into a pure yang immortal body.

Ying Xuan was immersed in the profound experience of initially opening up the sea of ​​suffering. Looking inward, the activated dantian area was like a miniature universe in the beginning of chaos, where a vast amount of life essence gathered, surged, and collided.

Unlike ordinary cultivators who, when opening up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, have their life essence devoured by the Sea of ​​Bitterness and transformed into "Sea of ​​Bitterness Divine Power" carrying an aura of death, Ying Xuan's life essence was far too abundant and pure. In particular, every cell of his had accumulated the refined energy left behind by layers of tempering from internal force to spiritual power and then to pure yang energy.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within these cells seemed to be kindled, interacting with the life essence surging into the sea of ​​suffering, creating a peculiar "essence" effect.

He clearly felt that the immense life force surging into the sea of ​​bitterness had not completely succumbed and transformed into "death energy." Instead, under the catalysis of cellular spiritual energy and the profound laws of the sea of ​​bitterness itself, it was repeatedly purified and refined, removing some subtle "impurities" that even he himself had not noticed, making it more condensed, pure, and full of vitality!
What surprised him even more was that as this refined life essence began to slowly flow back, it sprinkled on every cell of his body like sweet rain.

Those cells that he had already cultivated to a certain "limit," and which had become tough under the repeated baptism of his primordial spirit and spiritual power but seemed to have lost the space for further improvement, were now like parched land receiving rain, greedily absorbing this fresh life force that bore the mark of being "tempered" in the sea of ​​bitterness!
A vibrant life force was reborn from the deepest part of his cells! Ying Xuan could feel that his physical strength, blood volume, and even the regeneration and endurance of his cells were beginning to show a faint but real potential for improvement! This was simply unbelievable for a cultivator of his level!
"What a magnificent Body Refining Technique that can cover the heavens!"

Ying Xuan couldn't help but marvel.

"This method opens up the sea of ​​suffering, and its effects are truly miraculous! It not only lays the foundation for subsequent cultivation, but also, from the very beginning, performs a deep 'tempering' and 'awakening' of the human body, tearing open a path for the body's subsequent growth!"

His previous cultivation focused more on enhancing his primordial spirit and energy. Although his physical body was also passively strengthened, it ultimately had its limits, and the method of enhancement was relatively "gentle." But this Heaven-Covering Technique, from the very beginning, so "domineeringly" uses the consumption and refinement of life essence to forcibly unlock the deeper potential of the physical body, paving the way for the subsequent systematic development of the five secret realms of the human body.

This direct, efficient, and focused approach to tapping into the treasures within the physical body is truly refreshing and has given him a glimmer of hope for further improvement in his physical abilities.

He could even deduce that when one's physique becomes strong enough, the body's vital energy will naturally radiate outwards, forming a unique "field" or "phenomenon." This not only repels impure spiritual energy that cannot be absorbed, creating a purer environment more conducive to cultivation and increasing cultivation speed, but also gives one an absolute advantage in battles against opponents of the same level, making it an invincible guarantee of combat power among those of the same level!
