Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 158 Level Seven: Desiring to Emerge from the Yang Spirit, to Pluck Flowers from a Thousand Miles Away!

Level seven!

Before this mission appeared, Chen Baiyu thought he would need about two or three more missions' worth of experience rewards to reach the required level.

However, at this moment, with the infusion of 500 experience points...

The upgrade requirements were met instantly.

The transformation, as always, is happening in every part of my body.

Having been at 9 points in Constitution and Spirit, it has now increased by 1.5 to reach 10.5.

It doesn't seem like much.

But it gave Chen Baiyu a feeling of improvement that seemed to surpass all previous ones. It was as if all the attributes had broken through some kind of limit after reaching 10.

He couldn't explain what that boundary was.

However, he could feel that the interaction between his physical body and the nascent primordial spirit had become deeper.

Something mysterious was constantly feeding back into the embryonic form of the primordial spirit from the physical body, and something inexplicable was constantly flowing into the physical body from the embryonic form of the primordial spirit.

Under such influence.

Both the nascent primordial spirit and the physical body underwent new changes.

First, there is the physical body.

Chen Baiyu could clearly perceive that more transparent and light feeling in her body.

That's not an illusion caused by increased strength and speed, but rather a more intrinsic and fundamental change.

It was as if they were truly floating away, detached from the world, ascending to immortality.

His intuition told him.

Now his energy channels are clear and he is free from all illnesses.

Life expectancy has also increased significantly.

It was as if he had crossed some kind of boundary of life itself; at this moment, his physical body felt as comfortable and light as a bird released from its cage.

Besides.

He could clearly sense that his nascent primordial spirit seemed to have broken through a certain barrier.

It seems to have become more solid?
Chen Baiyu instinctively and subconsciously manipulated the embryonic form of her primordial spirit to separate from her physical body.

next moment.

Chen Baiyu, who was prepared, did not experience that intense pain, nor did she relive the agony she had felt that surpassed being chopped by knives, axes, or burned.

The breeze of the real material world is no longer the biting gale from the heavens.

At this moment, a gentle breeze was blowing on his nascent primordial spirit, and it did not seem to bring much pain. At most, it was just a feeling like countless tiny needles gently pricking his skin.

It's slightly painful, but within tolerable limits.

Its nascent form seems to be able to withstand the slightest disturbance in reality, which undoubtedly represents a significant transformation in terms of quality.

Besides.

Perceived through the innate divine sense inherent in the nascent primordial spirit.

He discovered that his primordial spirit seemed to have already taken on a blurry human form, and even though he couldn't see the details of the face clearly, he could still distinguish the shape of a stick figure.

This is completely different from before.

The initial form of the primordial spirit was chaotic.

It is merely a collection of consciousness; it has no real form, but one perceives it as such.

But now it looks like it has hands and feet, giving it a bit of the appearance of an external avatar.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu attempted to control the nascent human-shaped primordial spirit to move around.

Reach out to catch the passing cold wind.

Reach out and touch the soil beneath.

The next moment, he froze.

Ugh?
No?

This feel!

To Chen Baiyu's bewildered gaze, he saw a pebble being picked up from the ground!

Not with the hands of the physical body, but with the hands of the primordial spirit!
Although there aren't many pebbles.

And after being caught, it felt as heavy as Mount Tai and difficult to continue.

However, this was a real and tangible touch of the physical world with the primordial spirit!

This is undoubtedly an unprecedented change!
This means that the quality of his primordial spirit has greatly improved, and it has already taken on a vague form and physical entity. Perhaps this is why his current primordial spirit can exist in the real material world for so long!
Experiencing these changes.

Chen Baiyu felt as if he had reached the Yang spirit realm from the Yin spirit realm described in Taoism.

Because it is indeed too similar to that kind of Taoist description.

Astral projection of the Yang spirit is one of the advanced stages of Taoist cultivation, requiring practitioners to reach a high level in both spiritual and physical cultivation. Astral projection of the Yin spirit, on the other hand, is relatively easier and is often just a phenomenon or experience during cultivation.

Although the Yin Spirit is also a manifestation of the Yuan Shen (Primordial Spirit), its level and realm are relatively lower. The visions it sees are often unclear and easily influenced by the individual's subconscious and physiological energy.

But the Yang spirit is different.

It is the product of cultivating both body and spirit.

It appears ethereal and without substance, but in reality it has a physical form that can be used. It can gather to form a shape and disperse to become energy, appearing and disappearing at will, with endless variations.

Now he has undergone a transformation in his primordial spirit.

It's like what Taoists call refining away all the yin impurities, transforming from a yin spirit into a yang spirit!

This subconsciously reminded Chen Baiyu of a famous story about a person who wandered into a trance and plucked flowers.

Legend has it that the famous Taoist master Zhang Boduan and a Zen monk made a pact to "travel in spirit" together in Yangzhou, agreeing to each pick a Qionghua flower as a token of their agreement.

After the two closed their eyes and entered a meditative state, their primordial spirits instantly arrived in Yangzhou City, a thousand miles away.

Then they each picked a magnolia flower.

However, upon returning, the flower in the monk's hand vanished into thin air, while the Qionghua held by Zhang Boduan remained, thus proving the difference in their levels of spiritual cultivation.

This is precisely the difference between Yin spirits and Yang spirits.

Taoist cultivation emphasizes "cultivating both body and spirit," which means that the physical body and spirit should progress together in order to achieve the tangible state of the Yang spirit.

The Yang spirit formed by Zhang Boduan possesses the characteristics of "being able to gather and disperse freely, and having both form and spirit that are wonderfully integrated." It can move freely outside the physical body and can also carry physical matter back with it.

The Yin spirit cultivated by Zen monks is a form of "solitary cultivation." Although it can achieve the state of astral projection, it lacks the ability to interact with the material world.

The monk's inability to maintain the physical existence of the Qionghua flower exposed the limitation of the Yin spirit being "a god without destiny".

But at this moment.

With both his physical and mental abilities reaching 10.5, Chen Baiyu seemed to have broken through a certain limit. His life cultivation level automatically reached a certain level.

Therefore, the nascent primordial spirit, which was originally formless and without substance like a yin spirit, has now become a yang spirit with human form and substance!

In ancient myths and legends, his level of attainment would have been enough to be granted the title of a minor deity and placed him among the immortals.

"So, can I also travel thousands of miles in my mind to pick flowers?"

Thinking of this, Chen Baiyu subconsciously felt a little excited.

After a moment's hesitation, he decided to give it a try, based on his intuition that there was no threat.

He wanted to try his magical journey of a thousand miles to pluck flowers!

He yearned for the realm of those ancient, great supernatural beings.

When the Yang spirit goes out, it can pick flowers and return!

A thousand miles in an instant, a morning journey to the North Sea and a evening visit to Cangwu!

This is the kind of freedom that countless people have imagined.

While thinking.

He controlled his spirit to detach itself, attempting to leave his physical body, the vessel for crossing the world. His movements were swift, and he felt little pain.

However, just as he was about to break free, a strong sense of restraint gripped him tightly, preventing his Yang spirit from escaping even an inch.

"not enough!"

"I haven't fully reached the Yangshen realm yet! I can't travel thousands of miles in a single moment, and I can't even separate my soul from my body!"

For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Chen Baiyu's mind, as if explaining why his physical body was binding his Yang spirit and preventing it from traveling.

Is it an inspiration brought by intuition?

After a moment's hesitation, he decided not to try again.

He then allowed his spirit to return entirely to his body, exiting that semi-out-of-body state.

indeed.

Although his primordial spirit could already be considered a Yang spirit, it was still not enough.

Even when his Yang Spirit took human form, it was blurry, like a stick figure, unlike the effect of a true Yang Spirit when it reached the pinnacle of its cultivation, where it manifested as an external avatar.

Even if his spirit could touch a physical object, it still didn't have enough power; even lifting a pebble for a moment required all his strength.

and so.

This can only be considered a rudimentary form of the Yang God.

It will likely take some time for it to grow.

However, the most difficult hurdle of transformation has been overcome.

The day when the Yang Spirit is perfected and one can travel thousands of miles in spirit to pluck flowers is not far off.

After all, 5 points of physical and mental attributes are enough to form the rudimentary form of a Yin spirit, while 10 points of physical and mental attributes will transform into the rudimentary form of a Yang spirit.

So how long will it take to reach the Great Perfection of Yang Shen? 15 attribute points? Or 20 attribute points? At most 30 points.

That day will naturally come soon.

Chen Baiyu was naturally not in a hurry.

Although, according to his current speculation, if his physical body were to fall into a state of death, his Yang spirit would likely break free from this constraint.

Then there is the vastness of the world, and one can go anywhere.

But is that really a good thing?

He couldn't possibly commit suicide just because of this speculation or to try out the experience of the Yang God; that would be like buying the box and returning the pearl, or killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Although there is a concept of "corpse-dissolving immortals" in Taoist teachings.

Similar to his guess, this refers to practitioners achieving immortality through feigning death or physical dissolution, which is considered a lower-ranking form of immortality in Taoism.

Its core theory is the transformation of physical form into physical form, that is, practitioners can shed their mortal body through various forms such as sword transformation, fire transformation, and water transformation, while retaining their true spirit to continue cultivation.

However, abandoning the physical body is ultimately a low-level approach.

It may have been prevalent in early Taoism, but as the alchemical system was perfected, it was gradually replaced by the internal cultivation method of cultivating both body and mind.

Even in many fantasy novels, this is merely a path that is passively chosen when there is insufficient foundation or failure to transcend tribulations.

Ultimately, this is simply a compromise.

If one can cultivate both body and mind, and achieve harmony between form and spirit, who would abandon their physical body?
At least Chen Baiyu felt that she didn't need to go to such lengths.

He has a system, and therefore he has capital.

This means he has better options.

There is no need to make any choice that requires giving up something under any circumstances.

Because no one has the right to force him!
He will not lack anything on his path to growth!

He had a smooth path destined for immortality.

If we keep upgrading, we'll have bread, we'll have milk, we'll have everything.

While thinking.

Having a general understanding of his feelings after the upgrade, Chen Baiyu looked around.

The feeling of being in a primeval forest is truly unique.

Compared to the steel jungle of the city, he felt he could indulge himself freely here.

Having finally arrived at a primeval forest, and without even needing to worry about how to get back, we naturally wanted to make the most of our time before our return journey began.

Ideally, you should find a tiger you've been longing for and slide tackle it hard.

He can't just stand there all day.

Besides...

When he saw that a small patch of the area where he was standing had been lit up on the mini-map, which should have been completely dark, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

After arriving in a foreign country where the minimap was completely black, nothing unusual happened.

Instead, the areas on the previously pitch-black small map that he passed through were now illuminated, no longer appearing as dark and invisible as the fog of war.

The small, dark map outside the Central Magic Empire can now be lit up!
He arrived at this completely dark area on the minimap without being affected in any way.

That being the case.

It's obvious what needs to be done next.

Eye plug!

Brighten your vision!
