Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

[Current remaining divine sense: 107]

Several hours later.

As Ren Qingshan returned to Zhenbei City high in the sky, a message suddenly appeared in his mind as he visualized the image.

His body swayed, a subtle sense of surprise and urgency rising within him.

They... have already begun to understand and cultivate?

Although the total amount of divine thought I have cultivated and comprehended is less than one percent, I haven't even started yet!

Taking a deep breath, Ren Qingshan continued to fly away, and after nearly an hour, he arrived at Zhenbei City and returned to his rented courtyard.

"My husband, you're back!"

"elder brother!"

The wife was hanging clothes out to dry in the yard.

My son was fast asleep in the rocking car next to me.

Ren Bingce was holding a book and reading.

My cousins ​​are not here.

"Well, from today onwards, I will go into seclusion. Unless something involves death, do not disturb me."

Ren Qingshan touched his wife's face and said softly.

"Hmm."

"it is good."

A hint of resentment inevitably surfaced in her eyes, but she was sensible enough to say something. Just then, she saw Ren Qingshan walk to the corner of the wall, his body enveloped in a cage of qi, and sit cross-legged.

This……

Despite the myriad doubts and curiosities that filled my mind, I had no choice but to suppress them for the time being.

……

Sit cross-legged.

Ren Qingshan immediately began to visualize.

Although the conditions here are rudimentary and not a good place for seclusion, there is no better option for the time being.

I don't know how long this seclusion will last, but I can't completely shut myself away right now, because something could happen at any time back home.

Realistically speaking, this ordinary family is currently a complete burden on his ability to improve himself.

But that's the reality; we can only proceed gradually.

Even with unparalleled cultivation, capable of moving mountains and filling seas with a wave of the hand, one has no family to talk to, and thus cannot be considered truly carefree.

……

In my mind.

The Pangu Great Strength Visualization Diagram exudes a terrifying aura, causing tremors to rise from the depths of one's soul.

Ren Qingshan suddenly realized that he had been pulled into a battlefield. Dust was flying all around him, and opposite him was a figure wielding a giant axe. His strong muscles looked like they were about to burst. The axe was raised high, and in the next instant, it was already chopping down!

fast!

Powerful and heavy!

The scene was both real and illusory. Even though reason clearly indicated that it was an evolution of Daoist energy, instinct still made one feel a sense of crisis and subconsciously dodge.

The axe followed him like a shadow.

The next moment, Ren Qingshan "saw" himself being cleaved in two by an axe.

Then I suddenly "woke up".

Still in a state of introspection, his spiritual power did not increase at all, but his courage seemed to have been cut off by several parts, and he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

"Again!"

He quickly grasped the method of this visualization, using battle as a means of enlightenment, and let the green mountains immerse him once more.

dead!

Die again!

Still, die!

He was hacked to death again and again. Whether he dodged or not, whether he fought head-on or ambushed, this axe strike was mysterious, precise, combining power and speed, yet effortless. If the first strike missed, the follow-up strikes would be like a surging river, endless and continuous.

I don't know how much time has passed...

I don't know how many times I've died...

Ren Qingshan was finally able to see the mark left by the axe and grasp a subtle artistic conception.

Again.

As the axe fell, Ren Qingshan leaped up and stood on the axe, as if glued to it, so that no matter what moves it made, it could not be hurt in the slightest.

That profound and mysterious artistic conception completely enveloped my heart, making me feel light, joyful, lively, and lingering.

[The Characteristics of Force, First Technique: Force Awareness!]

A message arose from the visualization, and Ren Qingshan, having left the "battlefield," experienced a moment of enlightenment.

The so-called force perception is the ability to see the direction of force and the subsequent changes in a spark, and to act accordingly and take the lead.

This is a kind of "consciousness," but it is also a rule, or perhaps, a kind of authority.

"I've died...probably over 38,000 times, I'm almost numb to it!"

Ren Qingshan was overjoyed, but couldn't help but sigh. Looking at his middle dantian, he saw that each divine thought was as bright as a diamond, closely arranged, presenting a honeycomb-like beauty. The number naturally came to mind: 33,334.

One of them represents my initial thought.

The remaining 30,000-plus coins were all cultivated through comprehending the Daoist principles.

"This is indeed a top-tier Dao. Just this one bit of power requires 33,333 thoughts to bear it."

Those visualization techniques of grade C or B can only contain a limited number of divine thoughts, and the "Daoist rhyme" they record is secondary and cannot be fully evolved. A few thousand or ten thousand divine thoughts are sufficient to contain it.

Ren Qingshan now fully understood what the difference in the level of visualization techniques truly represented.

……

[Current remaining divine sense: 85]

[Fellow practitioners: 10 people]

The total amount of divine sense has decreased to only 85...

This number left Ren Qingshan's mind racing. After considering several possibilities, he still couldn't judge the progress of others.

However, there are two things that can be determined by inferring from the changes in the numbers:

First, in this Pangu Great Strength Visualization Method, each person should comprehend three strands of Daoist essence. In addition to "power consciousness," there are two more strands, each of which should contain 33,333 divine thoughts.

Once the comprehension is complete, exactly 100,000 divine thoughts are needed to condense the incomplete seal.

Secondly, there are still ten fellow practitioners at present. If they have all cultivated "power consciousness", the total number of divine thoughts is 33, and the remaining number of divine thoughts should be only 74.

However, the numbers don't match up, so some people have already fallen behind and haven't yet grasped the power of consciousness.

However, it is uncertain whether anyone has progressed exceptionally quickly and has already evolved the second thread.

"How's it going outside?"

Ren Qingshan swept his divine sense across the area and saw that Zhenbei City was covered in snow; it was winter.

But how much time has passed?

The place where I was sitting cross-legged had a thatched hut built against the wall, and the door was locked from the outside.

Inside the house, the wife was breastfeeding their son, who looked a bit older, probably about six months ago.

Incense charcoal burned in the brazier, various fruits, vegetables, and snacks were laid out on the table, and there was a maidservant in the kitchen; life seemed quite good.

Where are the three brothers?

Ren Qingshan continued to extend his divine sense, and found their whereabouts in the alley, three houses away.

The three brothers were eating mutton hot pot inside the house, their mouths greasy with oil... It seems they have rented another house and found work to make a living.

Five hundred taels of gold were hidden at the bottom of the locked chest by the bed.

They were safe and sound and had plenty of money, so Ren Qingshan stopped being distracted and continued to concentrate all his attention on the visualization method.

"How can this not be considered passing by my home without going in?"

"Practice! Practice!"

……

After completing the "Power Consciousness" practice, when Ren Qingshan immersed his divine sense into the visualization method again, he quickly discovered that the scene inside had changed.

The axe in the figure's hand was gone, leaving it empty.

however……

In an instant, he threw a punch, and countless fists appeared in the air.

"Power can overcome all laws!"

boom!

Ren Qingshan felt as if he had been instantly smashed into a pulp.

Although one has the power of perception to sense the flow of power and its subsequent changes, what if this power is ever-changing and comes from all directions, from above and below one's head?

There was no way to avoid it, no way to avoid it, and no power to avoid it.

The only way is... to defeat force with force!

The arduous battle and endless death have begun once again.

At first, these battles were pure slaughter, but as Ren Qingshan died more and more, he would gradually improve.

From one fist, to ten fists, then to a hundred fists, a thousand fists...

Some are fast, some are slow, some are light, some are heavy, some are explosive, some are gentle...

Those untouchable yet omnipresent principles of power, existing in the darkness, are materialized and perceived through repeated deaths, like blind men touching an elephant, starting from the feet, moving to the legs, the body, the nose, the eyes, and the ears.

at last……

After the figure threw out countless punches, Ren Qingshan responded with countless punches in return.

Countless collisions, like a dazzling fireworks display.

The countless fist shadows vanished into nothingness.

[Characteristics of Force: Second Form, Power!]

power?

The power of force!

When Ren Qingshan saw these two words, he paused slightly, his heart pounding.

In countless battles, he had wondered how this trace of Daoist essence would be described.

But I never expected that these two simple, concise, and intuitive characters would be so expressive!

strength!

Whether it's light or heavy, slow or fast, hard or soft, dispersed or concentrated, controlled or released... it all comes down to these two words.

The key to its application lies in one's own mind.

Hundreds and thousands of punches can have hundreds and thousands of different quantities!

Even a single punch can contain a variety of variables!

"This Pangu Great Power Visualization is indeed... truly unfathomable, especially in close combat techniques; it thoroughly explains the Dao!"

"It's hard to imagine what kind of logic there could be in the third method?"

After Ren Qingshan finished comprehending the second move, he once again left the seclusion. In his middle dantian, his divine sense had reached 66,667, which matched his previous guess.

[Current remaining divine sense: 43]

[Fellow practitioners: 10 people]

Compared to the careful calculations he made after repairing the first thread, Ren Qingshan didn't calculate again this time.

Repair it, that's all!

He felt pure joy.

There is both the joy of improving one's own strength and the enlightenment of seeing the origin.

I'm getting into the swing of things!

He thirsted for the Way!

Even, if one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening!
