I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 89 Breakthrough
Another three years.

The Northern Expedition was successful, the Nationalist government successfully unified the north and the south, and eliminated the pseudo-Qing regime in the north. The last emperor of the pseudo-Qing requested international assistance from the East, thus starting an arduous and arduous anti-aggression war.

At that time, the Republic of China had just been unified, and internal strife had already exhausted its vitality. The population and food were insufficient, and the equipment and weapons were backward. In the beginning, it lost land repeatedly. However, the Japanese were extremely brutal, and the people under their rule lived worse than pigs and dogs. In some places, they even took pleasure in massacring the city, not to mention the plight of women and children.

Such perverse actions inspired the national cohesion to an unprecedented level. Under the unified guidance of the Nationalist government, it took only four years to completely defeat the bandits and win the victory.

And this year, Li Ming was already fifty years old.

He no longer had the carefree look of a Taoist monk. His face was covered with wrinkles and his body was covered with scars. Even if he had skin of steel and bones, he could not withstand artillery and firearms. It was during these years that he accidentally discovered that although the power of Taoist magic had declined, the Blood-Drinking Knife actually burst out with even greater power after absorbing blood.

Over the past few years, the Blood-Drinking Sword has become Li Ming's greatest reliance for survival. Not only does it strengthen his essence by absorbing blood and heal his injuries, but its power is also getting stronger day by day. Of course, its power to bewitch people is also getting stronger and stronger. If this war cannot be stopped, I am afraid that Li Ming will be completely corrupted in one or two years at most.

Even so, Li Ming's mind was greatly disturbed and it was difficult for him to concentrate. He also had a vague desire for blood and often had the desire to kill.

Fortunately, it’s finally over!

Listening to the news of Japan's unconditional surrender on the radio, Li Ming felt relieved. Calculating the time, Li Ming smiled faintly: "This can be considered a change for me."

This time, not only did the Republic of China rely on its own national strength to completely defeat Japan, but it also took less time and the people suffered less. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, Li Ming feels relieved, as if a layer of shackles has been removed from his body.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, seizing this opportunity to concentrate on breaking through.

At this moment, the true energy circulates as the heart wishes, and the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit become one. When combined together, I feel extremely empty and quiet, as if my body no longer exists, and I am in the darkness and become one with the heaven and earth. My mind senses a hidden place.

He gave a light shout, exhaled his internal energy, and broke through the Xuanguan. However, this Xuanguan was not the Fontan on the top of the head, nor the Yongquan under the feet, nor the Niwan, nor the Dantian. Instead, it was a place of emptiness three inches in front of the nose. It was the most wonderful place for cultivation, so it was called the Xuanguan Acupoint.

Over the past decade, Li Ming has attempted to break through to the innate realm several times, but he always falls short. Even though his physique has already reached 99 points and his true energy has been condensed to the extreme, he is still unable to break through.

Today, he finally reached this point again. With the mentality of failing or dying, Li Ming used all his strength to activate his true energy, even burning the potential of his body, in exchange for this fierce collision. This collision shook the Xuanguan, but Li Ming knew that this was just the beginning. He used his internal energy three times in a row, but the shaking of the Xuanguan always seemed to be a little bit short.

Li Ming knew that it was a critical moment. This time he used the power of his mind to attack, but he felt that the entrance was shaky, as if it only needed the last straw to break it. However, no matter how hard Li Ming tried, he could not reach it.

In extreme rage, he even stimulated the divine fire on his spiritual platform that had been cultivated for forty years to the extreme, burning out all his vitality in exchange for a slight possibility of a breakthrough, but the entrance remained the same.

Finally at this moment, Li Mingfu came to his senses, smiled bitterly, understood what was going on, and gave up the attempt to break through.

Immediately, blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, his breath became greatly weakened, and his hair turned completely thick white. In an instant, he seemed to have aged twenty years.

What is reflected on the panel is that the spirit, physical fitness and lifespan are greatly reduced.

[Evaluation: A warlock who is about to die.]

Li Ming coughed lightly, but the wound on his body was aroused and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"The three treasures are united as one, hahaha. My spirit is so strong, could it be a burden?" He muttered to himself, but Li Ming had actually guessed the reason.

He practiced the method of refining the spirit, and his spirit and soul could leave the body and actually became a whole. Although it was still connected to the physical body, it became independent.

However, the innate realm of martial arts practice seeks perfection, the combination of essence and qi, qi and spirit, and the combination of these three into one can break through the realm.

"So I was wrong from the beginning," Li Ming said with a wry smile, shaking his head. "I've spent my whole life verifying that besides external conditions, there are also internal factors. Besides a strong spirit and body, harmony and consistency are also required to achieve results. This can be considered a trial and error for myself, so it's worth it."

At this moment, someone outside the door seemed to have noticed the noise and pushed the door open.

The visitor was horrified when he saw Li Ming's appearance. He quickly ran over and said, "Brother, what happened to you? How did you get into this state? Who hurt you?"

Li Ming laughed heartily and spat out a large mouthful of blood. Looking at Chang Miao's anxious expression, he didn't know why he wanted to laugh. He had obviously passed the position of the headmaster to him, but he was still worried about his safety and resolutely came down the mountain to follow him.

"What are you laughing at? I still have Huanzhen Dan and Xiuyuan San here. Brother, please eat them quickly." Chang Miao hurriedly rummaged through his body and took out several medicine bottles and put them aside.

Li Ming shook his head and said, "It's useless. I failed to break through the barrier. Both my soul and body are injured. I am now exhausted. You came at the right time. I still have a few things to explain."

Chang Miao's face froze and her eyes were filled with tears, but she knew that what Li Ming said was true, so she had to agree.

"I have two suicide notes on me. One is for Shaohua, which contains the development plan for the next 20 years. The other is for you. It's what I told you to do. You must do it!" Li Ming said intermittently.

Chang Miao agreed with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Chang Miao still crying at the age of fifty, Li Ming laughed again and said, "I don't want to be buried in Yuhua Mountain. After you cremate me, bury me in the charity cemetery in Hejia Town, under that green pine tree. I want to go back."

Chang Miao was speechless at this moment, tears kept falling down. The experiences of the past few decades were vivid in her mind. This senior brother who had always taken care of her and taught her since she became his disciple was about to leave her now.

Li Ming raised his head with great effort, looked at the ceiling and said, "I don't know why I really want to write a poem, but... Chang Miao, do you know that there is reincarnation in this world?"

"If I have an afterlife, I will look for you. At that time, you must not disown me as your senior brother, hahaha." Li Ming ended his life with laughter.
