In fact, Qing Yu could guess a thing or two about the outside world, but he was no longer interested in paying attention to it.
In this world, it is all about strength, and if there is enough strength, there is never a shortage of solutions.
Time pa*sed like a white horse pa*sing by, and in the blink of an eye, it was another mid-autumn. It had been almost a year since Qing Yu began his retreat.
During this year, Qing Yu had cultivated hard day and night, finally bringing the process of seclusion to a close.
On this day, the seemingly small sun-like dragon element on Qing Yu’s hands finally extinguished all its glory and completely returned to nothingness.
What came from it was Qing Yu’s powerful and unparalleled power.
“The ninth turn of the Golden Elixir, it took a lot of effort.” Qing Yu felt the surging running true qi in his body and showed a look of emotion.
Even he had not expected that the ninth turn of the Golden Elixir would take him so much time. Even with the multiple help of Dragon Yuan and Xuan Yin Sword Qi, as well as the Tong Tian Giant Statue, he had not achieved it until today.
Moreover, due to the special nature of Qing Yu’s gong body, he had to suck up all the dragon energy completely before he reached the peak of the True Dan realm.
Of course, this energy would not be in vain, Qing Yu could feel that his strength had now completely surpa*sed the True Dan realm, and in terms of the amount of true qi, he was no weaker than a Tong Shen.
“Ding, congratulations to the host, his power has reached the peak of True Dan realm, the guardian BOSS has appeared ——”
The golden character card with a seven-coloured glow spun in front of his eyes, eventually stopping to reveal the bantering middle-aged man with white hair on the front.
Seeing his white hair, white eyebrows and white beard, with a green treasure colour affixed to his eyebrows, he looked very vicissitudes, yet had a face and skin that did not match his temperament.
Name: Di Shi Tian
Realm: True Dan realm
Object: Phoenix Blood
Martial Arts: “Sacred Heart Technique”, “Ten Thousand Swords Return”, “Snow Blood Claw”, “Seven Immense Realms”, “Iron Refining Hand
Evaluation: I am god!
“It’s Xu Fu the tease,” Qing Yu looked at the character card with interest and laughed, “System, Xu Fu’s strength, should have exceeded True Dan, it’s not too much to say he’s a Tong Shen, is this still considered a Tong Shen?”
Don’t look at Di Shaitian’s wild work all the way to get himself killed, in fact, before his pushy style dropped off, his strength was very appalling.
He was able to freeze the Emperor’s Shadow, freeze the Tsunami Tornado, crush Nameless with his “Ten Thousand Swords”, break the “Mahamudra” with his “Seven Immense Realms”, and sweep through the Masamune group by himself on the Five Yellow Mountains.
Although a character comes out later and flogs Di Shatian and stomps on him, this is not because Di Shatian is weak, but because of fate (the author).
In fact, Lao Ma’s ending of Di Shaitian is very rough, directly to its lowering of intelligence and power, a bunch of early divine powers are not allowed to be used, and would like to let it go away immediately.
So Qing Yu laughed, but he still had quite a high regard for Di Shaitian’s strength. After all, now that he had divested himself of Xuan Yin Sword Qi, there was no way he could steadily suppress Di Shaitian.
“The host’s current strength should also be beyond True Dan, but aren’t you still a True Dan all the same?” The system asked rhetorically.
“When Di Shaitian took the phoenix blood, his strength was low and he was unable to refine it, and he only achieved a body no weaker than a Tong Shen by fusing with the phoenix blood.”
“Understood.” Qing Yu nodded his head.
Now that Qing Yu had also reached the threshold of advancing to a Tong Shen, he had long known the basic hard requirements for his Tong Shen by heart.
To advance to Tong Shen, one had to shatter the True Dan and completely fuse the body, Qi and God, filling every cell of the body with Qi and God, so that as long as a single Qi remained, there would be a chance of recovery.
Even if one’s arms and legs are broken and one’s torso is damaged, it is not a problem at all. The difference is only the length of time it takes to recover.
It is said that when one reaches the realm of the strongest, one’s spirit can be separated from the flesh (anti-harmony) and live on.
By taking the phoenix blood, Di Shaitian was able to attain a life force no less than that of the God-Realm when he was still weak, and ascended to heaven in one step. This was certainly a great opportunity, but also a great misfortune.
At the time when True Dan advanced to the Tong Shen realm, Di Shaitian tasted the bitter fruit of failing to refine the phoenix blood.
His entire power was made from phoenix blood, and he himself was not a natural talent in martial arts. Although he had created many supreme martial arts skills with his thousand years of wisdom, he could do nothing about his own problems.
The phoenix blood is so strong that Qi and God cannot be completely integrated into the body. Although he has a body no less powerful than that of a Tong Shen, when it comes down to it, it does not belong to Di Shaitian, but to the phoenix blood.
If he could really refine the phoenix blood, there would be no need to refine it with the Five Thunder Transformation Hands and then swallow the dragon element.
“But Di Shaitian Gou is truly capable of gou, so if I am unable to get a piece of the pie in the next great tribulation, it is not impossible for me to follow his example.”
Qing Yu had already refined the dragon element and theoretically already had an immortal lifespan. Although it was still doubtful whether this lifespan was truly limitless, it was still no problem to live for a few thousand years.
In a few thousand years’ time, Qing Yu will be able to become a Buddha and an ancestor.
However, were things really that good?
Qing Yu slowly frowned, “What’s going on? Why is my life expectancy only five hundred years.”
Just now, Qing Yu used the Heavenly Mystery Technique to calculate his remaining lifespan, but he found that he only had four hundred and seventy years of life left, which added up to five hundred years.
This is the sign of the True Dan realm, and the starting point for the Tong Shen realm. The longevity of a Tong Shen is at least five hundred years, while the longevity of a True Dan is at most five hundred years.
This is not normal ——
Qing Yu kept measuring the heavens with his Yi technique, but found that no matter what, his lifespan stopped at five hundred. This is not a lack of vitality, but an invisible limitation that puts a limit on Qing Yu’s longevity, a clamp on his destiny.
“It happens to stop at five hundred, this should not be a limit that only I have, but, the whole world ——”
In this world, there is never a shortage of methods to extend one’s life. For example, the Blood Demon Cult’s Blood Dao martial arts can extract other people’s blood to replenish their life force when practiced to a high level.
But throughout history, no one has been found to have lived for more than a thousand years with the Blood Demon Cult’s martial arts. If it were possible to live forever with the Blood Dao martial arts, the Blood Demon Cult would become a holy religion for all to believe in, even if it were a devilish religion of the utmost evil.
So it was not a matter of life force. With Qing Yu’s life force at this time, even if his realm was no longer refined, he would still be able to live for at least a thousand years. However, the invisible restriction was such that when he reached the age of 500, he would face death.
This is not a human inadequacy, but rather – the will of Heaven.
“It seems that the option of living a life is crossed off ——” Qing Yu shook his head and sighed.
“In that case, I’ll have to make some changes to my plans next.”
I originally thought that even if things didn’t work out, I would still be able to live forever, and I already had the victory firmly in my palm. But now, Qing Yu had discovered that in this heaven and earth, Long Yuan’s longevity did not work too well.
Since this was the case with the dragon element, I don’t think the phoenix blood would make any difference either.
Then, the path ahead would have to be slightly modified as well.
