Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Looking up at the sky, the gloomy sky seemed like a heavy lead plate pressing down, making the ground below seem unreachable, with clouds swirling around my feet.

Like a bottomless abyss, a single misstep will result in utter destruction.

Li Xia turned around. He couldn't remember how long he had been climbing. In this environment, it seemed that even his brain was working slowly.

Extreme fatigue, thirst, and hunger made his head feel dizzy.

The urge to mobilize one's true qi grew stronger and stronger, even burning like wildfire in every corner of the body.

As long as you use true qi... you won't feel cold or tired... you'll feel very comfortable... very comfortable...

Li Xia bit her tongue hard, the intense pain bringing her groggy mind to a slight jolt.

The taste of rust filled his mouth. He swallowed the saliva mixed with blood, raised his head and looked up, his eyes filled with an unprecedented ferocity, and continued his arduous climb.

After an unknown amount of time, the pure water vapor in the high sky soaked his clothes and quickly froze into frost. With each movement, the ice layer kept breaking and falling downwards.

The broken cumulus clouds were pushed by the wind and drifted leisurely from afar, turning the surroundings pale in an instant.

An indescribable sense of emptiness welled up inside him, as if he were the only person left in this vast world.

Li Xia opened his mouth, exhaled, and stirred up the clouds in front of him.

The cold was like sharp needles, piercing his skin through the ice, and each breath formed a white mist in the air.

His limbs were numb, his eyes were empty, and he was only able to keep up with mechanical movements with his stubborn will.

Suddenly, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, turning Li Xia's eyes gold. The clouds and mist dissipated, revealing a bright sun hanging high in the sky.

Daylight...

About a hundred meters above their heads, a circular tower top suddenly appeared, and Li Xia's eyes instantly blazed with an incredibly bright light.

He let out a mournful, hoarse howl like a lone wolf, and his body, already at its limit, managed to squeeze out a little more strength.

80米....70米......60米......50米.......10米........

The opening at the top of the tower is almost in sight; all that's left is to cross the final chasm.

His body was trembling, his heavy breathing sounded like an old bellows about to break down, and he gathered all the strength he had left.

It became a thrilling leap that pushed the limits.

"Snapped!"

He placed his hands on the edge of the round hole at the bottom of the tower and slowly pulled his numb body up.

This simple action seemed to have exhausted all of Li Xia's strength. He lay on the cold floor at the bottom of the tower, panting heavily.

[Side Quest: Kalin's Summit - Completed!]

[Completion: 100%]

[Quest Rewards: Strength +2, Dexterity +1, Spirit +1, Willpower Rank +1]

Li Xia forced a smile, but all the muscles in his body were throbbing, and a needle-like pain spread through every corner of his body.

Before the laughter could even escape his lips, it turned into a painful groan.

"You are the most tenacious climber I have ever seen!"

Suddenly, a very comical cat face appeared before my eyes, holding a simple wooden cane in its hand, its long white whiskers trembling.

The cat rummaged around in its paws for a few moments and pulled out a bean.

"Eat it, and you'll get better soon."

You have obtained a Senzu Bean.

Senzu Beans

[Quality: Blue (Ultimate)]

【Origin: Korinta, Dragon Ball】

[Type: Recovery Item/Consumable]

[100% Recovery: Instantly restores 100% of health and heals injuries (Tier 2)]

[Satiating: Consuming this will grant a slow stamina recovery effect and a feeling of fullness for 10 days.]

[Special Limited-Time Offer for Senzu Beans: Maximum Holding Limit of 2]

[Evaluation: These magical beans have incredible effects, so it was necessary to increase the holding limit to restrict the circulation of this extraordinary item.]

The cat sage placed the bean near Li Xia's mouth, but suddenly a swollen hand reached out shakily and pinched the sage bean.

"Ok?"

The cat fairy was startled, staring in astonishment at the man lying on the floor.

He was a celestial being who had lived for eight hundred years, trained Wu Tian, ​​and was appointed by the gods.

Its keen eyesight allows it to clearly see that the person in front of it has reached their limit, and if they are not treated in time, they may even develop a chronic illness.

How can it still move after all that?

But Li Xia's next move completely stunned the Cat Immortal.

Li Xia gripped the Senzu Bean tightly, wriggled up from the ground, and put it into his pocket to Master Roshi's astonishment.

Then, little by little, he let out painful roars, sat cross-legged, and assumed a breathing posture.

Although the Zhou Tian can rotate in any shape, it works better with a double disc.

When Li Xia finally managed to assume the double lotus position, with both palms facing upwards and overlapping, he was almost unconscious.

The cat sage stared nervously. Although it didn't know what Li Xia was going to do, it was prepared to poke the Senzu Bean into him even if it meant using its wooden cane if Li Xia fainted!

It's been many years since I've seen a martial artist so ruthless to himself.

Furthermore, the 'God' sent word that this martial artist seems to have slain an extremely evil monster.

So we can't let him die!

Under the watchful, anxious gaze of the cat sage, Li Xia began his breathing exercises with great difficulty!

With the added power of the body's self-healing ability, true qi flows naturally throughout the body.

His pained expression gradually softened, and in the eyes of the cat sage, even his injuries were rapidly improving.

This...this is qi?

Wait, why does he still have so much anger?

Could it be...? The cat's fur was all sticking up, and a horrifying thought popped into my head.

Could it be that he didn't use any breathing when he climbed? Did he climb up purely with his physical strength?

how can that be!

Everyone has Qi in their body. Qi is the substance that life itself generates, but it varies in strength. Ordinary people cannot perceive the existence of Qi.

But as a martial artist, his ki must be far stronger than that of an ordinary person. Even if he hadn't learned to use ki freely, he would instinctively use ki when climbing Kalin Tower.

Even if I were to climb up, I would be completely exhausted, unlike now, when I still have enough energy to nourish my body!

Unless... he never got angry at all from beginning to end!

For eight hundred long years, the Cat Master never imagined that one day a martial artist would climb up the ranks simply by relying on his physical strength.

What a terrifying physical body... no, I should say what a terrifying willpower!

But the cat immortal still found it unbelievable, so it was eager to wait for Li Xia to wake up so it could ask him in person.

........

Time passed second by second, the sun set and rose again, Li Xia opened his mouth, and white breath shot out from his mouth like a sharp arrow, condensing and not dissipating.

His eyes, which suddenly opened, were unusually bright, but he didn't have time to check his own condition.

A huge cat face stretched out and stared straight at him.

"you're awake?"

Chapter 25: Major Upgrade! A Treasure Trove! (2/4)

Looking at Li Xia, who had completely recovered and was in excellent condition.

The cat sage is starting to question his very existence. What is this thing?

Such a serious injury, he was almost dying, but he recovered after sitting cross-legged and circulating his qi for a whole day.

Could it be that Qi has many other amazing effects that I'm just unaware of?

For example, healing or something similar?

Am I still the Cat Sage?

"Yes, thank you."

Li Xia assessed his physical condition and found that his injuries were not serious; they were mainly frostbite and muscle strain from overexertion.

The greatest drain is on energy and physical strength, both reaching their limits. The circulation of Qi is equivalent to embracing the original essence and guarding the oneness, sitting in oblivion and entering a state of tranquility.

It already has a strong recovery effect, so it was fully recovered by the end of the day.

And there was also a pleasant surprise.

[Note: Entering the ultimate state and circulating Qi throughout the body increases the upper limit of True Qi by 2.]

[Note: Entering the ultimate state and circulating Qi throughout the body increases the upper limit of True Qi by 3.]

[Hint: You are currently in a special location: Kalin Tower, where energy is abundant, and your True Qi limit has increased by 50]

............

Li Xia checked his True Qi bar and found that it had jumped from 247 to 350, an increase of 103 points.

In addition, by climbing Kalin Tower with only his physical strength and achieving a 100% completion rate, he gained a total of 4 attribute points and a +1 Willpower rank.

The rewards are comparable to those of a highly difficult mission!

Countless apostles have climbed Kalin Tower, but none have ever managed to do so with their bare hands like Li Xia.

While there are few individuals with attributes similar to Li Xia, there are still some, though their physical strength levels are significantly lower.

Without sufficient physical strength, trying to withstand temperatures ranging from minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius in the second half to minus 40 degrees Celsius in the end is simply a pipe dream!

"Young man... when you climbed Kalin Tower, did you not use your ki? And how did you manage to use ki to heal your injuries before?"

The cat sage originally wanted to remain reserved and wait for Li Xia to take the initiative to talk to him, but who knew that this kid was thinking about something and suddenly started laughing to himself.

Curiosity killed the cat. The cat immortal felt as if there was a ball of yarn swinging back and forth in his heart, making him unbearably itchy.

Kalinta's life was already monotonous, and he barely survived by spying on the lower world.

Now that he's encountered something he's particularly curious about, how could the cat sage possibly resist?

"Hmm, no need for internal energy. As for healing... you can't learn that."

Li Xia thought for a moment and decided to add, "This is how we practice Qi; you won't know unless you practice it."

???

"Whoosh—" The wooden cane whistled as it struck Li Xia's head, moving incredibly fast but without much force.

Clearly, the cat sage only wanted to give Li Xia a good whack on the head, but didn't intend to hurt him.

But Li Xia was not slow either. Her legs, which were still crossed, trembled slightly, and her whole body swayed to the side with an unusually smooth motion.

The wooden cane brushed past Li Xia's face, the wind it stirred gently ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead.

If it's even slightly off, it's not enough; if it's even slightly too much, it lacks charm.

The wooden cane missed its mark, but the cat sage didn't continue. He simply hoisted the cane onto his shoulder and huffed, "..."

"Come with me!"
