He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Xu Yi discovered that anyone who becomes a Seeker of the Dao has a very short lifespan. For example, the two Seekers of the Dao he killed in the previous few encounters only had five years left to live.

The special seeker of the Dao who was just killed was no exception; he was even stronger and had fifteen years remaining.

This is clearly incorrect. Seekers can evolve, and they will gain more lifespan after evolving, but this is obviously also wrong.

The Seeker of the Dao that was just killed was definitely an advanced Seeker of the Dao. Seekers of the Dao can also evolve through certain means, and after evolving, their various physical attributes will be strengthened.

It seems that when the seekers transformed from humans into snakes, their lifespans were consumed.

Who ate it? The snake god.

This must be the Snake God's purpose, right? This was Xu Yi's deduction, but it was all thanks to the system. If it weren't for the system, he probably wouldn't have discovered the Snake God's purpose so easily.

It's probably hard for others to guess this, unless they keep some seekers of the Dao in captivity to observe. Such people certainly exist, but Xu Yi hasn't encountered them yet.

Xu Yi didn't know how other places resisted the invasion of seekers of the Dao, but the fact that this village was able to keep the seekers away from invading was definitely related to Blind Liu.

This management method is quite strange. Is the snake god just trying to harvest lifespan? What exactly is his purpose?

Xu Yi couldn't figure it out, and similarly, he had lost all clues at the moment. However, he understood one thing: Seekers of the Dao can evolve, so there must be higher-level Seekers of the Dao. In other words, as long as he found a higher-level Seeker of the Dao, he could obtain more information.

It wasn't that Xu Yi was interested in the Snake God; it was just that he had arrived in the Snake God's territory, and perhaps if he wanted to uncover the truth, he couldn't avoid the so-called Snake God.

Moreover, for Xu Yi, the Serpent God's territory was also a safe zone. Here, Xu Yi seemed to be safe from harm, and the Serpent God's management methods were quite effective.

Although he didn't know how it was for others, Xu Yi had already received a lot of protection.

This is good.

Soon, a blue light screen appeared in front of Xu Yi, visible only to him. Xu Yi decided to start allocating the fifteen deduction points.

The first thing to be affected is definitely one's cultivation level.

In the spell section, Xu Yi lightly clicked the plus sign after "Divine Illumination and Clouds Technique".

"A decade of deduction"

[Explanation Timeframe: Ten Years]

[Deduction begins...]

[Year 1: You began your cultivation as before, following the familiar method you had used countless times. You focused intently on your cultivation this year, and nothing happened.]

[Year 2: Cultivation time is always very tedious and boring. The Qi Refining stage is the simplest stage, as you saw in the annotations in the book. It seems that as long as one is willing to work hard, any cultivator can pass through this stage smoothly.]

...

[Year 6: You have been diligently cultivating, and finally, in the sixth year, you sensed that your cultivation level seemed to be encountering some blockages, as if you were about to hit a bottleneck. However, the magical power gathered in your dantian had not yet reached its limit, so you have not stopped cultivating.]

...

[Year 9: You have finally reached a bottleneck in your cultivation. The magical power in your dantian has condensed to a certain level and can no longer be improved. You know that you are ready to break through to the next realm. Therefore, you decide to begin studying the foundation-building method recorded in the Divine Illumination and Glowing Clouds Technique...]

[Year 10: This is your first year studying the Foundation Establishment method. Through your tireless study day and night, you have finally understood the fundamental method of Foundation Establishment: the Five Elements. To advance to the next level of Foundation Establishment, you need to collect spiritual objects of the Five Elements. Only by collecting the appropriate spiritual objects of the Five Elements can you proceed with Foundation Establishment...]

[Deduction complete. You can inherit your cultivation level: Qi Refining Perfection]

[Note: You need to collect the appropriate Five Elements spiritual items before you can proceed with the next step of the cultivation technique deduction; otherwise, the deduction will not yield any results.]

"Inherit." Xu Yi responded softly in his mind. Soon, an unnamed power swirled around Xu Yi, as if a clear stream was injected into his body. Soon, he felt the magical power condensing in his dantian increasing more and more, until it reached a state where he could not add any more.

He's saturated; the magical power within him is saturated.

Five Elements Spiritual Objects? After Qi Refining comes Foundation Establishment, which is completely different from later generations.

However, will there be any new functions in the Foundation Establishment stage here? There are already some clues from the method of advancement. Five elements spiritual objects are required. Xu Yi thought of the method of advancement when advancing to supernatural powers.

Five elemental spirit objects are also of great help in advancing to the level of supernatural powers. However, for later generations, five elemental spirit objects are extremely difficult to find. Even Xu Yi has not seen many. According to Xu Yiya, it is quite difficult for someone of his level to collect five elemental spirit objects. Who is his master? The head of the Shu Mountain Sect.

Even he found it somewhat difficult, let alone ordinary cultivators. To collect a complete set of five elemental spiritual items was no less than ascending to heaven.

However, not having the Five Elements spiritual objects does not mean that one cannot cultivate supernatural powers. In later generations, there is no such restriction. This is why Xu Yi was somewhat shocked when he saw that a complete set of Five Elements spiritual objects was required to establish a foundation. It seemed a bit too extravagant.

Perhaps this world is a little different, Xu Yi suddenly thought. We can't look at this world with the perspective of later generations, can we?

Thinking of this, Xu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, this world is so big that he couldn't even imagine it, it was unbelievable.

Just how magnificent are the Three Realms? What kind of scenery do they hold?

After some contemplation, Xu Yi absorbed all his thoughts deep into his heart, finding it increasingly interesting. However, his cultivation had already reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Xu Yi felt that his body seemed to be more 'hard'. Yes, Xu Yi clearly felt that his physical strength was much stronger than before.

Because Xu Yi gained these cultivation levels in an instant, he could clearly feel the changes in his body, since these were achieved in a single moment.

It seems that improving one's cultivation level not only brings more magical power, but also greatly strengthens the body.

The strength of the physical body has increased, and the amount of magical power that can be stored in the body has also increased.

This is a very good phenomenon; Xu Yi directly felt the changes brought about by the improvement in his cultivation level.

Hearing, vision... the sensory abilities of the five senses have also become stronger; one can hear more clearly and see farther—this is the effect of improved cultivation...
