While Others Are Practicing Leveling, I Am Cultivating Immortality

Chapter 164: The secret of returning to the void, rumors from the void world! (5k)

 Sit down cross-legged and close your eyes slightly.

 Feel and guide the energy in the body.

Like bamboo shoots sprouting from the soil after being irrigated by spring rain.

The layer of elemental armor covering the surface of Su Xing's body also protruded a few inches.

 This progress is remarkable.

 Originally, Su Xing could only barely control the energy to wrap around the surface of his skin.

 But now that he has awakened, he can not only wrap around him, but he can also feel the different and subtle changes in his energy.

The surge in Su Xing Yuan Li's cultivation lasted for several minutes before slowly calming down.

After that, Su Xing stretched out his hands and felt the invisible power on his hands.

 Like wind and fire.

 As invisible as wind, yet full of destructive power like fire.

 Shu Xing's heart moved, and a ray of energy came out of his palm.

Then he woke up and guided the ray of energy to fly towards a rock a few meters away.

 After a few breaths, the rocks are still the same.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the entire rock, which was more than one meter high, was blown into fine sand.

“Tsk tsk… It’s not difficult to crush rocks into sand with brute force…”

 “But the power of Yuanli lies in its intangibility!”

“If you were to quietly infiltrate your elemental energy into the enemy’s body during a battle, by the time the enemy reacted, their internal organs would have been shattered into **** water!”

 The corners of Su Xing's mouth rose slightly, obviously he was very satisfied with Yuan Li's method of destroying the inside and the outside.

 With this hand energy, the body is separated from the body by a few meters.

 Even a strong man at the level of the Martial Emperor can be assassinated silently by Su Xing!

 “Then next, try wrapping around the spirit sword again!”

 Shu Xing's heart moved, and Mo Bingjian appeared in his hand.

 Following that, Su Xing guided his Yuanli and completely covered the Mo Bing Sword in his hand.

Mo Bingjian vibrated slightly and let out a soft groan.

  Seems to be enjoying the caress of Yuanli.

Su Xing felt the strength of Mo Bingjian for a while.

 The toughness is fully doubled, and even the spirituality in the sword is more abundant.

If the original Mo Bingjian was a legendary weapon, then after covering the Yuan Power, it might be able to surpass the legendary level in a short period of time!

When he woke up and took back his Yuan Power, Mo Bingjian returned to its original state.

 But Su Xing could feel that Mo Bingjian had improved slightly in just a few minutes.

 “That’s it, Yuanli can be soft or hard…”

“Using Yuan Power to warm and nourish the magic weapon so that it becomes a Yuan Qi… is the process of letting Yuan Power transform the magic weapon!”

“The stronger the monk’s Yuan Power, the longer the Yuan Power is entangled, and the more the magic weapon will be improved!”

Su Xing estimated that the natal magic weapons of those body-refining monks must have gone through hundreds or even thousands of years of warmth and cultivation before they could truly become far beyond ordinary magic weapons.

 After Su Xing took back his Yuan Power, the spiritual sword in his hand let out a soft groan.

Su Xing could feel that Mo Bingjian seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction and seemed to want more Yuan Power.

“Don’t worry, when my Yuan Power becomes stronger...I will feed you every day!”

 Su Xing whispered a few words to Mo Bingjian before Mo Bingjian stopped protesting.

“Tsk, tsk, after this simulation, my strength has probably increased by at least 50%!”

“If you want to make another breakthrough, you must consider breaking through the void realm…”

Su Xing murmured a few words and looked at the simulation panel.

  In the new era, on the afternoon of July 29, 2024, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.

 “Start simulation!”

【Ding! This simulation consumed 4,700 energy points, with 15.04 million remaining energy points and no remaining simulation times. 】

  【Simulation begins! 】

  【It costs 1000 points of energy to extract green talents, 10000 points of energy to extract blue talents, and 100000 points of energy to extract purple talents. Do you want to extract them? 】

 “Extract the purple talent!”

 Suddenly wake up and read silently.

  【Congratulations on getting the purple talent: Animal Friends! 】

[Friends of Animals]: Purple talent, you have amazing attraction and affinity for all animals and spiritual beasts. It is easy to arouse the favor of animals and spiritual beasts. They will have a kind of trust in you from the bottom of their hearts and care for you at the same time. It can also understand the language of any animal or spiritual beast.

"Hmm? This talent... seems to be an advanced version of the level 10 beast language that I drew before?"

Su Xing raised his eyebrows. He was somewhat impressed by the talent of Level 10 Beast Language.

 At the beginning, he was captured by Zong Laogou for the first time and was almost made into a human elixir.

At that time, Zong Laogou took out a very weird Gu worm.

Had Su Xing not been able to understand the language of the Gu insects, I would have been tortured to death by the Gu insects.

“Compared to the level 10 **** talent, the purple talent Animal Friends…seems to have an additional ability to win the favor of animals?”

 “I just don’t know, how effective is this in winning favor?”

 Wake up and think deeply.

The talent to win the favor of spiritual beasts is really good. If you have the opportunity to enter the world of immortality in the future, you might be able to contract a spiritual pet.

  If the descendants of Shen Nong are plant-friendly, then Animal Friends are animal-friendly. The two are in the same category.

"But... what I am most urgent about now is to further improve my cultivation!"

“Animal Friends can directly replace the tenth-level **** talent... When you extract it at the right time, you can also save money for a talent expansion, which is good!”

Su Xing murmured.

 Subsequently, Su Xing set a goal plan for this simulation.

“It would be great if the mastery of Yuanli could be advanced to another level…”

“Of course, in addition to Yuanli, we must also start learning body-protecting Qi!”

“After that, we will ask about the secret of the breakthrough to the Return to the Void Realm, and find the ultimate place…”

Shu Xing closed his eyes and went through these goals in his mind, and then officially started the simulation.

  【In the blessed land of Lingtian, you realize that you are simulating. 】

　　【Suddenly, the spiritual chickens in the distance began to chirp, and they looked at you with deep admiration in their eyes. 】

　　　【You can hear that they keep calling you Brother Chicken, Brother Chicken, as if you are their boss. 】

  【You understand, this is the Animal Friends talent at work. 】

　　【At this time, you feel something strange in the soil under your feet. It turns out that it is the spiritual earthworms that were planted before, expressing their love for you. 】

　　【You comforted the spirit earthworms and hoped that they would evolve into earth dragons as soon as possible. 】

After hearing this, the spirit earthworm became very motivated and went back to the spiritual field, where it diligently fertilized and loosened the soil. 】

  【After your Yuan Li reaches the external release level, you can start to practice the body-protecting Qi. 】

【So for the next period of time, while waiting for news from Jin Congxue, you tried to cultivate body-protecting Qi. 】

The difficulty in cultivating body-protecting Gang Qi is to keep the distance between the Yuan Qi and the surface of the skin to one foot, which is about thirty centimeters. 】

  【And you have already reached this point, so you try to control the elemental force three feet away from the skin. 】

　　【Then, according to the method of protecting the body, you slowly shape the energy into a completely surrounding shield to protect you within it. 】

　　【After practicing the whole process, the loss of Yuanli is huge. 】

　　【You can only practice for two hours a day, and the energy in your body will be exhausted, and you must wait for the energy to recover again. 】

【But you were pleasantly surprised to find that when you practice the body-protecting Gangqi, which is a magical power of Yuanli, you can squeeze the Yuanli in your body to the greatest extent, and the effect is even faster than the previous practice. 】

[A month later, Jin Congxue contacted you. She told you that the mining area dungeon had been finalized, and the Tarot Club had four more mining area dungeons. 】

　　【You were happy after hearing this, but you were very cautious and continued to stay in Kyoto to see the reaction of the Daxia military. 】

　　【During this period, you took the time to visit the Luotian Conference dungeon. 】

　　【After obtaining the consent of the dungeon administrator, you successfully entered the Luotian Conference dungeon. 】

When Su Xing saw this, he thought silently in his heart:

 “Use the immersive simulation feature! Lasts 24 hours!”

　　【Ding, you successfully used the immersive simulation function, spent 2.4 million energy points, and have 12.54 million remaining energy points. 】

As the simulator's beep sounded, Su Xing's vision changed.

 The next second, Su Xing appeared in the familiar hall.

"Good disciple, go to the back mountain and call your Uncle Shennong to attend the Luotian Conference..."

Niu Rulie was still standing in front of Su Xing, giving instructions to Su Xing. But this time he woke up and did not leave directly. Instead, he asked:

“Master, my disciple has something unclear, about the warming of spiritual weapons and the cultivation of Yuan weapons...”

Niu Rulie nodded slightly after hearing this, and did not urge Su Xing to go to the back mountain. Instead, he said:

"You are the most enlightened disciple I have ever taught. Before you are a hundred years old, you have already cultivated your Yuanli to the third stage of external release!"

“Even when I was a teacher, I was far inferior to you!”

“Do you know what level the weapons of our monks are classified into?”

Without waiting for Su Xing to answer, Niu Rulie continued:

“The monk’s magic weapon, from low to high talisman, magic weapon, treasure weapon, spiritual weapon...and even the legendary fairy weapon!”

“Generally speaking, when a magic weapon is initially forged, its heel and material have already determined the level of the magic weapon, and it is difficult to change it the day after tomorrow.”

“But the weapons of our body-refining monks are different!”

“For body-refining cultivators, what they practice is called the physical body, and it is also called the Yuanqi!”

“As long as the elemental weapon is nurtured by you for a long enough time, even the lowest level of talismanic weapon can become an existence that surpasses the immortal weapon!”

 After saying that, Niu Rulie let out a loud roar, and an illusory, red sky-opening ax appeared behind Niu Rulie.

Niu Rulie stretched out his hand to grab it, and the illusory giant ax turned into reality and appeared in Niu Rulie's hand.

This giant ax is over one foot long, and is red in color, exuding a strong smell of blood and the burning sensation of fire.

Su Xing is three feet away from the giant red axe, but he can still feel oppressed by a powerful momentum, and even feels like he can't breathe.

Niu Rulie danced a giant ax in front of Su Xing, and the powerful momentum that exploded even caused the birds outside the hall to fall from the sky.

 A few minutes later, Niu Rulie put away the giant ax and gave a light drink.

The giant ax turned into an illusion again and disappeared into Niu Rulie's body.

 Su Xing was so shocked by this scene that he was speechless.

Niu Rulie looked at Su Xing proudly and said:

 “Good disciple, you are a pretty good teacher, aren’t you?”

“Just now, that was my master’s elemental weapon, the sky-opening axe!”

“Hahaha...Of course, I just wanted to name this ax to be more domineering!”

 After a pause, Niu Rulie’s eyes flashed with a flash of memory and he said:

“Master, do you remember that when you first joined the Luo Tian Sect, it was more than two thousand years ago, right?”

“At that time, I was still a young monk in the Qi refining stage…and then I accidentally moved into the body refining lineage…”

“Later, after I understood Yuanli, the ax I used to chop wood was what I cultivated.”

"Yes, you heard it right! This ax was just an ordinary wood-cutting ax at first! But now, it is already comparable to an immortal weapon!"

 Speaking of this, Niu Rulie had a little pride on his face.

 “And all of this is the result of Yuanli!”

“Yuanli is infinitely wonderful, and its usefulness is not inferior to spiritual power... As long as you have enough patience to nurture it, this Yuanqi will become more and more powerful.”

“It must have been more than 1,800 years since I trained this ax for my master, right?”

 Su Xing was extremely shocked when he heard this.

Recalling the strong murderous aura and smell of blood on the huge red ax just now, the blazing fire that seemed to be able to burn everything in the world.

That terrifying aura that makes it almost impossible for the cultivator to look at him...

 Two thousand years ago, was this mountain axe just the most common wood-cutting ax?

 The difference is really shocking!

As if seeing Su Xing’s shock, Niu Rulie explained:

  “The warmth and nourishment of an element lies in the use of words!”

“Ordinary magic weapons, no matter how high their materials are, after years of erosion and countless battles, the materials will always be damaged, resulting in a decline in quality…”

 “But the elements are different!”

“For us body-refining monks, when we fight, our elemental force wraps around our elemental weapons, and our elemental force acts as a buffer for our elemental weapons. Collisions between ordinary weapons cannot damage our elemental weapons at all.”

“In addition, daily maintenance and cleaning, and even feelings for Yuanqi can make Yuanqi stronger and stronger..."

"If you are stronger, you can take the elemental weapon into your body. When the time comes, you can use your own Qi, blood, and elemental power to warm and nourish it, and you can form the natal elemental weapon. All of them are in your hand, and they will not be inferior to any magic weapon. !”

Su Xing could see that Niu Rulie's face was very proud when he said this.

It is true that transforming a mortal weapon into such a terrifying weapon is a matter of pride in itself!

Su Xing breathed a long sigh of relief, then saluted Niu Rulie and said:

 “Thank you, Master, for your guidance!”

After hearing this, Niu Rulie smiled and nodded:

 “Okay, go find your Uncle Shennong!”

Su Xing nodded when he heard the words, and his heart was always shocked by the red giant axe.

When I was almost reaching the back mountain, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to ask how to break through the Void Return Stage.

“Forget it, it should be possible to ask Uncle Shennong...”

Su Xing thought so and quickly came to the back mountain.

Shennong Youtian still looks like an old farmer in the mountains, taking care of his spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

 After carefully loosening the soil and fertilizing a seed,

Shennong Arita stood up, looked at Su Xing, and said with a smile:

“Master Nephew Luo, did you call me to go to the Luotian Conference?”

After hearing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Uncle Shennong!"

Shennong Arita walked towards Su Xing with a smile and said:

“My nephew’s aura is getting stronger and stronger. I’m afraid that both body refining and qi refining have come to an end, and he will soon enter the virtual realm, right?”

Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this and took the opportunity to say:

“Uncle Shennong, my nephew came here this time and wanted to ask, how to enter the realm of returning to the virtual world?”

After hearing this, Uncle Shennong nodded slightly and said:

“After cultivating to this level, you should really know some things about the Return to Void Realm…”

“The so-called refining the Qi, refining the Qi to transform into the spirit, and refining the spirit to return to the void... This is the way of practice in my early stage as a Qi refining monk.”

"When you step into the realm of returning to the void, you can keep your spiritual consciousness inward and keep your mind within your physical body. You can keep your physical body immortal within your mind and spirit...but you can also travel outside and enter the realm of nothingness!"

Su Xing frowned slightly after hearing this and said doubtfully:

 “The realm of nothingness? What is that place?”

After hearing this, Uncle Shen Nong asked, "Does my nephew know the meaning of having been friends with the gods for a long time?"

“The so-called long-standing friendship between gods means to mortals that they have heard of each other’s reputations and have long wanted to know each other, but they only just met each other.”

“For the monks in the Return to the Void Realm, it means that the two people’s consciousnesses have sensed each other in the realm of nothingness, but they have not been able to meet in the real world.”

Su Xing frowned even deeper after hearing this. It sounds like this realm of emptiness is a place where only monks at the stage of returning to the void can go with their spiritual consciousness?

As expected, Shennong Youtian said:

“When your soul is strong enough, you will be able to sense the call of the void world. Once you can step into the void world, your body and soul will be sublimated…”

“After surviving the Divine Thunder of Nothingness, you will be a monk in the Return to the Void Realm!”

 Su Xing frowned after hearing this, the void world, the void divine thunder.

These things seem to be only found in the world of immortality...

 There are no monks born in the world where Su Xing is, and he is not sure whether this realm of nothingness still exists.

 “Could it be that...the road ahead has been cut off?”

Su Xing was unwilling to give in, but asked:

“Uncle Master, if we don’t enter the void realm, is it possible to break through and become a monk in the Void Return Stage?”

After hearing Su Xing’s words, Shennong Arita laughed and said:

"What are you talking about, nephew? How can you become a monk in the realm of returning to the void without entering the realm of nothingness..."

 Speaking normally, Shennong Youtian suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and said:

“There is indeed such a rumor... It was rumored that hundreds of thousands of years ago, a god-transforming monk mistakenly entered the land of outer heaven..."

“The so-called heaven outside the sky refers to the heaven and earth without the realm of nothingness.”

"And the monk has been in the outer world for thousands of years. Even though he has cultivated to the perfection of spiritual transformation and full spiritual consciousness, he still cannot sense the void world..."

“But the monk who transforms into gods is also amazing. He is a wizard of alchemy. Although he has no realm of nothingness, he has refined a kind of elixir..."

 “It’s called Lianxu Dan!”

 After a pause, Shennong Youtian continued:

“The current main purpose of refining the Void Pill is to help monks in the Great Perfection Stage of Divine Transformation to ensure their immortality and withstand the thunder of the void **** after entering the void world.”

“But at the time of its birth, the Void Refining Pill was rumored to be a pill that could skip the realm of sensing the void and directly enter the stage of returning to the void.”

"Of course... this is just a rumor. Whether it is true or false, it has been so long ago that my uncle doesn't know."

 After listening to it, Su Xing secretly made a note that no matter whether it was true or not, Su Xing had to give it a try.

If there really is no realm of nothingness in the real world, wouldn’t it be cool to wake up?

So Su Xing said:

“Uncle Master, this recipe for refining the Void Pill...ahem, can you lend me to my nephew to take a look at it?”
