Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The next fifteen moves basically gave Li Xiu a deep shock from all angles.

It's not just the arms anymore. Now let's look at it from the other side. Stimulating the arms is probably the simplest thing to do.

The tenth move during the positive cycle is to stimulate all ten fingers.

Li Xiu felt as if all ten of his fingers had burst open at once, and he almost fainted, but he managed to hold on.

The pain in that instant almost made Li Xiu want to escape from that space immediately.

Also, when you reach the fifth move in your training, there's a circle around the brain.

This truly is the closest distance to your brain, bringing you the most authentic experience.

When Li Xiu was practicing the fifth move, he fainted and was eventually woken up by Li Duotian's axe.

Because Li Duotian had already swung his axe sixteen times, and if he did it twice more, the cave would really collapse.

It was only when he sensed the danger he was in that Li Xiu's mind was once again focused.

Li Xiu was also relieved at that time. Fortunately, he had prepared for the destruction and rebuilding. If there hadn't been the pressure of life and death, he might have really been in so much pain.

"Just one last move," Li Xiu thought to himself.

"It seems the progress is not bad. At least after practicing these moves, my body will have a good improvement."

Li Xiu was actually quite satisfied. Despite the extremely painful ordeal he had endured, the astonishing progress and improvement he had made when he examined himself again made him feel very pleased.

"Now that we're down to the most difficult first move, what kind of torment and surprise will you bring me?"

Just as Li Xiu was about to begin his cultivation, he asked Li Duotian how much time had passed.

"Li Duotian, what time is it now?"

Li Duotian replied, "Master, six hours have just passed; your estimate was very accurate."

"That's good. It seems I'm still not fast enough. I must make the most of the last six hours."

Li Xiu stopped thinking about all those messy things. Because this might very well be his last six hours in this world.

Looking at the jade wall again, Li Xiu was surprised to find that, at some point, all the little figures on it had disappeared, leaving only the diagram of the first move, Reversal of Fortune.

"It seems that this jade wall is also connected with people's thoughts. It is truly a blessed land, so magical everywhere."

With little time to dwell on the past, Li Xiu took a deep breath and focused his thoughts once again on the final move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, which involved reversing the flow of energy.

Chapter 1297 Mental Preparation

Li Xiu was already prepared. A move that could rival the power of the eighteen moves would probably cause a level of pain during training that would require the eighteen moves combined to match.

However, since things had come to this point, Li Xiu had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.

This is truly a test of willpower! Li Xiu felt that incredibly itchy sensation and couldn't help but cry out.

In fact, the human body's tolerance for pain often exceeds its own expected limits. However, with this limit being exceeded, there will naturally be aspects that are not as impressive as one might think.

For example, the ability to resist temptation, or rather, the ability to resist relatively neutral stimuli.

Especially the itching part, scratching it feels incredibly comfortable, but not scratching it is extremely uncomfortable. This feeling of being torn between hot and cold makes Li Xiu extremely uncomfortable.

The more Li Xiu thought to himself, "If only I could scratch it," the more pain he felt.

This tingling, itchy sensation came from the inside out, as if something incredibly itchy had been placed on Li Xiu's meridians, constantly stimulating his nerves.

"What the hell is this thing?!" Li Xiu blurted out.

The main problem is that scratching his body from the outside doesn't alleviate the internal sensations at all!

Moreover, the itchy feeling inside my body kept climbing along my meridians to all parts of my body!

"No, please, don't go that way!" Li Xiu felt it; the sensation had already traveled up his chest to his neck.

Li Xiu didn't even dare to touch it this time. He had lost control of his strength. If he grabbed his own neck forcefully, he might suffocate and die!

"This is simply unbearable for a human." Feeling the pain, Li Xiu really felt that this was a scam.

"System, tell me, is this really a true inheritance?" Li Xiu even began to question whether this was a trap set by the system.

It's no wonder Li Xiu thinks this way, after all, things have come to this point, and he's already somewhat out of his mind.

Li Xiu's spirit began to weaken gradually, and the torturous itching sensation continued to spread in all directions.

Now, Li Xiu's limbs were also being taken over by this feeling.

Li Xiu could only lie on the ground, too afraid to roll around, and could only twitch there.

He now only hopes that if he can turn his luck around, he can master this final move in one go.

"That last move was truly ruthless."

For Li Xiu now, even uttering a complete sentence has become a luxury.

However, Li Xiu still needed to concentrate his mind and completely remember this feeling and these methods in order to ensure that he could succeed in his cultivation on the first try.

If Li Xiu had endured such torturous pain, but failed to retain the most crucial cultivation method in his body, he would be in a truly tragic situation.

After all, if that were really the case, Li Xiu would definitely have to experience this hellish torment again.

"Now, we've reached the limbs, only the extremities are left," Li Xiu thought to himself, gritting his teeth.

"As long as I can reach the last finger position, I will have succeeded in the cultivation!" Li Xiu could only comfort himself in his heart, thinking that as long as he could open it once, he would succeed.

Chapter 1298 Using All My Strength

To avoid suffering a second time, Li Xiu tried his best to ignore the tingling and itchy feeling on his body and recalled the final palm technique of the little man on the Jade Wall.

Li Xiu raised his arm, trembling, and began to gesture.

It was fine if he didn't get up, but as soon as Li Xiu raised his arm, that itchy feeling came rushing back like a tide.

And it was high tide.

Li Xiu leaned back again and lay down.

"This is simply unbearable for a human being!" Li Xiu roared to the heavens in his heart.

"I can't even move an inch right now, how am I supposed to train?"

"If this is supposed to be a test of the inheritor's willpower, then the difficulty level is far too high. Aren't you afraid of having no descendants?"

Li Xiu is now speaking without thinking, even insulting the inheritors, completely transforming into a Zaun vanguard player, wreaking havoc on all sides.

After venting his anger for a while, Li Xiu still had to suppress the extremely stimulating sensation and circulate his meridians and true energy.

"It seems that practicing this last move directly won't work. If all else fails, we should try to avoid the most painful part first."

It seems that Li Xiu is prepared to use delaying tactics.

The final move follows a pattern from the inside out, starting from the heart, then flowing to the torso and limbs.

This is a move that unleashes all the power in the body from the inside out. If it can be executed successfully, its power will be earth-shattering.

However, Li Xiu's current condition no longer allows him to continue fighting against that torturous feeling.

Li Xiu can only start from the eighteenth move and slowly execute it once, using the momentum of that move to initiate the starting stance of the final move.

"I hope my idea can resolve my current predicament." Li Xiu wasn't sure either; he didn't know if it would actually work.

"Let's practice something else first, so your body can get used to the feeling of practicing in this state."

This is the only method Li Xiu can think of right now.

As if starting anew, Li Xiu once again unleashed the first move of the reverse style of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, which was the eighteenth move.

Raising your arms is still painful, but because it's the first time you start practicing, your forearms are the most stimulated.

This time, Li Xiu didn't give up as soon as he raised his hand; instead, he was able to endure it for a little while longer.

Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. Before Li Xiu could even raise his arm half a foot, the waves of stimulation, like the ocean, slammed him to the ground again.

However, Li Xiu was not discouraged this time. "It seems my method is effective."

"If I can endure this tingling and itchy feeling and finish the first seventeen reverse-style moves, my body should be fully adapted by then."

"I just don't know if the remaining hours will be enough!"

Chapter 1299 The Final Challenge

Li Xiu was extremely nervous. There was no way out, so he had to push his own limits and find his own path.

"Come on, let's see if today will torture me to death or allow me to break free of my cocoon and become a butterfly!"

Thinking about his current situation, Li Xiu felt a surge of pride once more, his eyes filled with longing.

Life and death are but fleeting moments; only by constantly pushing our limits can we find the true meaning of life.

Perhaps even Li Xiu himself didn't realize that his mindset had changed during these trials.

That kind of change is an essential part of breaking through the ceiling and becoming the strongest.

"Come again!"

Li Xiu then raised his arm again.

This time, it was a little better than the first time; I was able to lift it a little higher, but I still couldn't make the first movement.

"It's good that you've made progress. I'm going to give it my all today!"

Li Xiu is now reckless; he's made up his mind about this path and is determined to go all the way down it, even if there are obstacles in the way.
