Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul

"Try again!"

This time, he gathered the Qi in his body at his fingertips and poked his palm again.

This time, the fingertip finally pierced the flesh.

But there was no flesh or blood at the wound site, only a ball of white light flowing around it, and it healed completely in an instant, without leaving a single scar.

"Energy turns flesh and blood!"

Li Chang'an clenched his fists; his physical strength was ridiculously high in this state.

With his current Dragon-Elephant Strength, it would be difficult for him to break through his defenses even without using Qi.

If it were an ordinary sword, it probably wouldn't even be able to break his skin.

"This level of defense is probably not what you'd expect from the first level of Reverse Rebirth. Compared to being invulnerable to blades and spears, Reverse Rebirth is better at recovery."

Li Chang'an muttered to himself, "Could it be that reversing life can also grant one the same defensive power as the Golden Light Mantra?"

"Wait... Golden Light Mantra!"

Li Chang'an suddenly had some ideas.

The old master said that the Golden Light Mantra and the Reverse Life Triple Technique are essentially the same type of technique, only one is simple and the other is complex.

Since they are of the same type, there should be many things they can learn from each other.

For example, in terms of demonstrating ability.

The ability to reverse life in three stages seems to have a fixed effect for each stage, and everyone who trains it achieves the same result.

But the Golden Light Mantra is different.

The characteristics of the golden light differ depending on the practitioner.

Some golden light is gentle, some is heavy, some is hard, some is changeable, and some is sharp...

Zhang Huaiyi's golden light, for example, changed its defensive nature and focused on sharpness.

It was even sharp enough to cut through Zhang Zhiwei's golden light.

Zhang Zhiwei's golden light seems to encompass all the characteristics of the aforementioned golden light, being very comprehensive, without any outstanding features or weaknesses.

"Since the Reverse Rebirth Triple Effect is essentially the same as the Golden Light Mantra, is it possible that the effect of the Reverse Rebirth, like the golden light of the Golden Light Mantra, should be unique to each person?"

The more Li Chang'an thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Immediately afterwards, the scene of his advisor Zuo Ruotong breaking through to the third level appeared in his mind.

After reaching the third level of Reverse Life, one can ride the wind and the white qi around them can take shape. With a wave of the hand, one can even set up a barrier.

This suggests that Qi transformation, like golden light, should be quite abundant.

As for why the effects of practicing all three methods are the same...

Li Chang'an recalled the teaching model of the previous Sanyimen.

Other sects have their older disciples take on younger disciples.

Apart from Si Chong, all members of the San Yi Sect, regardless of age, are personally taught by Zuo Ruotong.

Even his junior brother Si Chong was taught by Zuo Ruotong step by step.

Zuo Ruotong was like an overly loving parent, afraid that his children would make a single wrong step, so he meticulously planned the future for each of his disciples, and each disciple was following his path.

Under such circumstances, the characteristics of the techniques will naturally become highly similar.

Li Chang'an's breakthrough today did not follow the path left by Zuo Ruotong.

He is a natural manifestation of the perfection of his spiritual cultivation.

This breakthrough after achieving perfection naturally endowed him with more comprehensive blessings.

"This blessing goes beyond just strength and defense."

Li Chang'an casually waved his arm, leaving behind afterimages in the air.

With a light tap of his toes on the ground, a burst of air exploded, and he was instantly propelled dozens of meters away.

With another tap of his toes, he turned back again, appearing on the other side of the cave.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Li Chang'an went back and forth several times, moving as fast as a white arc of electricity bouncing back and forth.

After careful consideration, Li Chang'an gained a better understanding of himself.

Even under such high-speed bursts, his nerve reactions and control over his body still kept up with the pace.

He can stop whenever he wants and turn whenever he wants; there will never be a situation where he can't react in time, his legs can't stop, and he leaves two marks on the ground.

"Strength, speed, intensity, perception... all aspects have been enhanced."

With this thought in mind, Li Chang'an looked up at the sky, then moved his feet and soared into the air, instantly reaching a height of more than ten meters, his body surrounded by white qi.

The mountain wind whistled past her ears, and her waist-length snow-white hair fluttered slightly in the wind, her clothes rustling in the breeze.

Li Chang'an glanced down at the entire Lu family compound from the air, then floated back to the ground.

"Through the experiment just now, it was found that although the white qi around me can enhance my abilities, it does not have the ability to fly through the air."

"However, thanks to its powerful explosive force and control over itself, it can still travel short distances through the air."

With this thought in mind, Li Chang'an immediately began to fly back and forth across the back mountain.

Sometimes it would land on the crown of an old pine tree, making the branches sag slightly.

Sometimes it would appear beside the pile of rubble at the cave entrance, like a wisp of white wind.

Li Chang'an's experimental capabilities caused quite a stir, attracting Lu Jin's attention.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in the Lu family?!"

Lu Jin's eyes narrowed, and he drew talismans with his fingertips. The talismans scattered and transformed into figures as tall as iron towers.

"Shangqing warriors, seize him!"

On the other side, behind the Lu family's mountain.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In an instant, more than a dozen dark figures flew in from all directions.

Li Chang'an turned his head and saw that these dark figures were all twelve feet tall, wearing armor, with wide-open eyes and ferocious faces. They held various knives, spears, swords and halberds in their hands, just like the glaring guardian deities in Taoist temples.

A dark figure pounced first, spreading out a large, fan-like black hand and grabbing his shoulder, seemingly intending to capture him on the spot.

Li Chang'an stood still until the moment the large hand was about to touch his shoulder, then he slightly turned his body. The dark figure missed its target, grazing past his robes by a hair's breadth.

Another dark figure attacked from behind, but Li Chang'an did not move his feet. He only tilted his upper body half an inch to the left, and the dark figure's grab missed again.

Immediately afterwards, more and more dark figures rushed in from all directions, as dense as a tightly closed net.

However, Li Chang'an seemed to be handling this suffocating siege with ease.

He did not retaliate, but merely made extremely small movements within a small space.

Take a half step to the left, an inch to the right, lower your head, lean back...

If this series of nimble movements were observed by an ordinary person, they might even have the illusion that he had been standing still the whole time, because their eyesight couldn't keep up with the speed of his evasion.

However, if one were a person with exceptional eyesight, they would only feel terrified upon seeing this.

Because Li Chang'an, with effortless ease, dodged all the attacks by the slightest margin, each movement was extremely concise, without a single superfluous action.

This requires an extremely fast reaction time and absolute control over oneself.

After dodging another attack, Li Chang'an reached out and, as if taking something from a bag, grabbed the head of a dark figure and pulled it close to his face for a closer look.

He discovered that the shadow was made of Qi and had no physical form. With a slight squeeze, the shadow exploded and dissipated into a cloud of runes.

"The Five Mighty Warriors Talisman of Shangqing?!"
