I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

The outskirts of the camp.

Li Qingshan quietly returned to his temporary residence.

Beside the campfire.

Xu Caiwei sat cross-legged, surrounded by true energy. At a frequency invisible to the naked eye, she drew upon the power of heaven and earth, causing her physical body to tremble.

It sensed movement.

Xu Caiwei dispersed her inner energy, opened her eyes, and saw that Li Qingshan had returned. Without asking him why he had been gone for so long, she closed her eyes again and began to cultivate diligently.

Qi nourishes the spirit, and the spirit can perceive the universe.

A strong spirit leads to a long life.

The content he had read subconsciously surfaced in Li Qingshan's mind.

His physical lifespan was one hundred and twenty years.

This is just a general statement.

Previously, Li Qingshan didn't understand how someone with such a powerful physical body could have a lifespan similar to that of some longer-lived mortals.

I only found out later.

This is because the essence of the soul has not undergone transformation.

The true qi in the Qi Sea Realm is actually formed by the condensation of martial patterns, containing a person's essence, energy, and spirit. Therefore, while refining true qi, one is also passively nourishing one's soul.

Even for martial artists who lack comprehension.

After breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm, the soul will become stronger and stronger over time.

This explains the saying that one's lifespan is 200 years for those with Qi Sea, 300 years for those with Meridian Opening, and 1,000 years for those with Spirit Transformation.

"Qi Sea Realm, lifespan of two hundred..."

Li Qingshan sighed inwardly.

I should stop bullying my senior sister, that short-lived ghost who can only live for two hundred years.

He nudged Xu Caiwei: "Senior sister, stop practicing. When I went out just now, I sensed an energy surge ahead. We might have left the secret realm."

"An energy surge?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Caiwei's expression changed slightly: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran away in the opposite direction of the Ether Realm without hesitation.

Li Qingshan stood there, completely bewildered.

After my senior sister ran far away.

Only then did Xu Caiwei's voice come from within the jade tablet:

"If anyone from the camp comes to summon me later, just say I have an urgent matter and have already left."

He won't be back for another two days.

I'll explain the specifics tomorrow after I've found out more.

After saying that, Li Qingshan realized that he could no longer pinpoint his senior sister's location using the jade tablet.

"Senior Sister's Burning Technique has a secret she hasn't taught you yet."

Li Qingshan chuckled as he took out a piece of pork, placed it on the campfire, and slowly started roasting it.

I was busy all night.

He was a little hungry.

...

the other side.

Inside the camp.

A young man with eyebrows that drooped past his chin frowned as he looked at several strange figures shrouded in black mist: "Have you located them yet?"

One person held up a constantly rotating compass with countless fine circles inside and said respectfully, "Elder, it has been confirmed that the newly emerged secret realm is located more than fifty miles to the northeast."

Elder Longbrows pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "They're at the Lingxu Sword Sect. Never mind them. Gather all the Qi Sea Realm disciples nearby and come with me."

In most secret realms, a mental strength verification is required to enter.

Disciples at the Physical Body Realm generally have spiritual power that is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, and is even weaker than those wizard apprentices, so they do not meet the standards for entry.

Therefore, exploring secret realms often directly recruits disciples at the Qi Sea Realm.

Upon receiving the elder's instructions, the group nodded in agreement.

The formation was activated.

Beams of golden light shot out from the center of the camp and entered the identity jade tokens of each Qi Sea Realm martial artist.

Because the distance is too far.

Only Elder Longbrow, who was at the Meridian Opening Realm, sensed this energy fluctuation.

These Qi Sea Realm disciples were completely unaware of this, and since they were serving here, they couldn't run away in advance like Xu Caiwei.

And so.

The once quiet campsite became noisy.

...

Li Qingshan, holding a piece of roasted meat, jumped onto the camp fence, eating while watching the commotion.

One by one, disciples of the Famous Sea Realm, some with gloomy expressions, some with cold faces, and some cursing, boarded a rather exquisite airship and left the camp.

The remaining disciples who had been awakened began to discuss among themselves.

Li Qingshan suddenly realized, "As expected of my senior sister, who grew up in the Bitter Realm, her sense of danger is incredibly sharp. In the blink of an eye, she shielded me in front of her..."

However, seeing the relaxed state of those disciples at the Physical Body Realm, he didn't think much of it.

Senior sister must have known that the physical body realm wouldn't be affected, which is why she didn't tell me to run away together.

Hsu Tsai-wei escaped the conscription.

No one came to inquire about it afterward.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Qingshan went back to prepare to open up his Qi Sea.

He possesses an aura of inner world sealed off.

As long as you don't actively reveal yourself and your identity jade pendant isn't updated, you can't be summoned.

As for this secret realm...

We'll talk about it tomorrow once my senior sister has found out the information.

Anyway, Li Qingshan felt that there was something wrong with that secret realm.

He even suspected that the secret realm had appeared on its own initiative because he had gotten close to it.

...

The mind enters a state of deep concentration.

The various elements needed to open up the Qi Sea came to mind for Li Qingshan.

Opening up the Qi Sea (a point on the body's energy center) might be troublesome for others.

For Li Qingshan, who could directly condense true qi from Dao patterns, it was like shooting an arrow first and then drawing the target.

He skillfully condensed strands of true energy, which dissipated throughout his meridians, and then guided this true energy to circulate according to the cultivation method.

After one cycle of reincarnation.

The true energy rushed towards the dantian.

Li Qingshan seemed to hear a crisp popping sound, followed by a surge of true energy rushing towards the newly formed crack.

Next.

All you need to do is control this true energy to form a vortex in the newly opened dantian space. Then the vortex can automatically connect with heaven and earth and transform the energy in your body into true energy.

Different cyclones produce different characteristics of condensed true qi.

"Thousand Layer Wave Leg" is a technique that can lead directly to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and naturally it also has its own unique wave vortex.

This kind of swirling true energy possesses characteristics such as being inexhaustible and profound.

To be honest, it's not even as strong as the true qi characteristics transformed from his Dao patterns.

and...

Thinking back to hundreds of years ago, when the current sect leader killed the former sect leader, which led to the formation of the Iron Leg Sect, Li Qingshan decisively abandoned the Stacked Wave Cyclone.

Referring to the spiral mark on his chest, he directed the circulation of Qi in his dantian.

The thread markings are too complicated.

It takes a lot of effort to condense and refine.

Li Qingshan could only take pills while simultaneously channeling his true energy towards the spiral mark.

...

time flies.

When it gets a little brighter.

Li Qingshan felt a jolt, as if countless water energies within a 300-meter radius were surging in and flowing into the newly opened dantian vortex.

He has reached the Qi Sea Realm.

This was something that happened naturally.

Li Qingshan remained calm and composed.

He simply remarked that it was truly exhilarating to be there, and then silently began to observe the spiral cyclone within his body.

This is the unique mark of his boundless ocean.

There will always be something peculiar about it.

His aura was indeed peculiar, like an underwater vortex. It could not only automatically draw in the water spirit energy around him and integrate it into his body, driving the Dao patterns all over his body, but also embrace all rivers and swallow all the spirit energy within his perception range, continuously transforming that spirit energy into azure true energy.

This overwhelming power is too domineering.

In just a few breaths.

Li Qingshan felt the true energy within his body surging like ocean waves, making a rushing sound as it circulated through his meridians, possessing a powerful momentum.

He quickly suppressed his ferocious, all-consuming nature.

Thankfully, none of the camp members above the Qi Sea Realm were left.

Otherwise, they would definitely be able to sense their own presence.

"Automatic cultivation, embracing all things, swallowing all spiritual energy around me... The boundless body of the ocean is truly extraordinary. It seems that my future true energy will be significantly greater than that of others at the same cultivation level..."

Li Qingshan continued to observe.

Or perhaps it has the dantian as a connecting channel.

He could feel that his range of perception and control was slowly expanding and improving, exceeding the previous range of three hundred meters.

"No wonder my mind felt much clearer during cultivation; it turns out it's because my soul strength has been passively enhanced again..."

Li Qingshan grinned slightly.

A strong soul leads to faster cultivation.

The faster you cultivate, the stronger your soul becomes.

Through his unremitting efforts.

Martial arts training has now embarked on a path of self-improvement, spiraling upwards, and can be considered to have entered the right track.

It turns out.

Diligent practice can never compare to the comprehensive and solid foundation of simply seizing talent.

Human energy is limited.

Being a jack-of-all-trades is not as good as being an expert in one thing.

Li Qingshan plans to focus on just one area from now on, and the monthly plundering of Dharma forms will also be combined with comprehension and water affinity.

...

A sense of satisfaction emanated from within the Qi Sea.

Li Qingshan exhaled a breath of stale air, ending his cultivation.

In the Qi Sea Realm, besides the condensation of the Qi Sea, the rest is still related to martial runes.

The meridians that are opened are not the meridians, but the martial meridians.

The cultivation of the Qi Sea Realm is about condensing martial veins.

Ordinary people only need to use their true energy to temper their martial patterns day and night to gradually transform them into martial veins, allowing them to contain more and more true energy.

Li Qingshan's entire body was covered in Dao patterns.

The workload is much larger.

But that's a story for another time.

Li Qingshan took out the photo-recording stone that was placed to the side.

He had previously read some records about special physical constitutions in the library.

Those with special constitutions often exhibit unusual phenomena during cultivation.

So he prepared a recording stone for himself in advance.

...

Now that Li Qingshan's spiritual power can spill out, reading this kind of thing has become much easier.

With a thought.

Mental energy surged into the image-recording stone.

The recorded footage immediately appeared in Li Qingshan's mind.

Just as he was about to quickly flip through it.

hum~

The jade plaque vibrated.

Li Qingshan was forced to interrupt his viewing.

"Senior sister?"

He quickly drew out his spiritual energy and poured it into the jade tablet.

next moment.

Xu Caiwei's urgent voice came through: "Something terrible has happened! The Lingxu Sword Sect camp has been massacred! Qingshan, run! Get out of the camp quickly..."

Li Qingshan glanced at the peaceful campsite, and without saying a word, he scanned it with his mental energy, storing all the scattered items into his spatial ring before taking off running.

Who cares what happened?

Let's run first and figure things out later.

If you run too slowly, you'll end up in the front row.
