Chapter 21: The Scripture of Transforming Mortals from Innate Qi!
On the highest peak in the core area of the far north.
Zhang Qingxuan, dressed in a green robe, stood atop the peak, his robes motionless in the biting wind, as if he shared some unspoken understanding with the heavens and earth.
"Young Master, what are we doing here?" Xiao Bai asked Zhang Qingxuan in front of him.
She looked around—there was nothing but howling wind.
Zhang Qingxuan did not answer.
【Ding! 】
[Sign-in successful in the new location - the far north! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the cultivation method "Triple Rebirth"!]
A massive amount of information flooded into my mind like glacial meltwater.
It was a set of exquisite techniques that made people tremble. It regarded the human body as an acquired impurity and gradually shed its mortal form through the method of "reverse cultivation and returning to the origin" to return to the state of innate Qi.
[As expected of the Trinity Sect's ultimate technique, it is truly exquisite.]
Zhang Qingxuan sighed softly in his mind, then shook his head slightly.
But ultimately, there's still one step missing—without reaching the heavens, a true leap in life cannot be achieved.
He remembered the "Great Ying Immortal," the senior whose Dao heart collapsed due to a flaw in his cultivation technique.
Having cultivated the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique to its peak, he discovered that the "leap in life level" he sought was nothing but an illusion, a despair that engulfed him...
Since I have obtained it, it must be fate. Therefore, I will complete this path.
The Yin-Yang symbol slowly emerged behind Zhang Qingxuan, with black and white fish swimming and rotating, creating an eerie yet harmonious contrast with the icy blue of this extremely cold land.
He began to deduce the results.
The countless Taoist scriptures I painstakingly studied in my previous life on Mount Longhu have transformed into countless golden fragments of text.
The knowledge I learned in this life on Douluo Continent turned into silver specks of light.
The Yin-Yang symbol spins faster and faster, with gold and silver intertwining and colliding within it, evolving into endless possibilities.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Qingxuan's forehead, which were instantly frozen into ice crystals by the extreme cold.
He is doing something earth-shattering—using his own wisdom to complete a flawed Daoist tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years.
"The first level, Qi transforming into flesh... is not enough." Zhang Qingxuan's thoughts raced:
"When integrating the principle of 'form and spirit in harmony' from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, as the skin and flesh transform into Qi, it is necessary to simultaneously temper the spirit and soul, so that form and spirit can advance together."
In the Yin-Yang diagram, the runes representing the first level suddenly lit up, and the structure began to reorganize and expand.
"The second stage, transforming Qi into muscles, bones, and internal organs... is too hasty." He continued his deduction:
"The five internal organs correspond to the five elements, and the order of Qi transformation should be reconstructed according to the principle of mutual generation of the five elements. The liver belongs to wood, the heart to fire, the spleen to earth, the lungs to metal, and the kidneys to water—water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, and metal generates water."
"Only through this continuous cycle can the foundation be solidified."
The second layer of Daoist runes instantly became ten times more complex, with the five elements' radiance flowing endlessly within them.
"The third level..." Zhang Qingxuan took a deep breath:
"The whole body transforms into Qi, becoming primordial Qi? No."
He recalled the reason for the Great Ying Immortal's failure.
"The Qi that the mortal body transforms into ultimately carries acquired impurities. To truly 'connect with the heavens,' one must not transform the body into Qi, but rather allow the body to 'generate' Qi—using the body as a furnace and the soul as fire to refine the true seed of innate Qi."
"Then, using this seed to nourish the physical body, one can achieve a leap in life level, shedding the mortal body and attaining an innate Dao body!"
This is the essential difference.
The original "Rebirth Triple" was about refining a piece of iron into a purer form of iron.
What Zhang Qingxuan wanted to do was to turn iron into gold.
One hour.
The blizzards in the far north never stopped, but Zhang Qingxuan's body, which was ten feet in size, had become a world unto itself.
The Yin-Yang symbol slowly shrank, eventually transforming into a point of interwoven black and white light that disappeared into his brow.
It's done!
The moment Zhang Qingxuan opened his eyes, the entire ancient ice formation atop the far north peak emitted a clear, resonant hum.
That wasn't a sound, but rather the resonance of the essence of matter when the rules were violated.
The brand-new "Triple Rebirth"—no, perhaps it should be called "The Primordial Qi Transformation Scripture"—has been completely imprinted deep within his Dao foundation.
The first stage: Qi transforms the skin and flesh, refining both form and spirit. This not only multiplies the power but also lays a solid foundation for the soul and spirit in the future.
The second level: Qi transforms the muscles, bones, and internal organs, the five elements rotate, life is endless, a self-contained cycle, and there is no longer any fear of energy depletion.
The third stage: condensing the innate Qi seed to nourish the mortal body, removing acquired impurities, and achieving an innate Dao body. If this stage is achieved, it is a true leap in life level, and one is no longer a mortal life.
"Young Master, your hair..." Xiao Bai suddenly exclaimed.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Qingxuan lowered his head, and a strand of hair fell in front of his eyes—his originally ink-black hair had now turned into pure white like ice and snow.
It is not the withered white of old age, but a crystalline white that contains some mysterious Taoist charm.
With a slight thought, he activated the newly created cultivation technique.
boom!
Centered on him, the snow within a radius of a hundred feet exploded with a deafening roar, revealing the eternal, unmelting ice beneath. His white hair moved without wind, each strand shimmering with a faint, luminous sheen.
Beneath the skin, a faint silver light could be seen surging through the meridians, a sign of the initial birth of primordial Qi.
"Power..." Zhang Qingxuan clenched his fist, and visible ripples appeared in the air as he squeezed it.
"It has increased more than threefold, and this is only the first stage of the initial Qi transformation of the skin and flesh."
He released his grip and dispelled the technique.
His white hair quickly turned black, returning to its original color. His aura also receded like the tide, and he reverted to being the seemingly ordinary young man in blue.
"Let's go back to the Li family." Zhang Qingxuan turned around and walked down the mountain.
"Oh, oh!" Xiaobai quickly followed, filled with questions, such as what kind of technique the young master had just used, how his hair had turned white, and why his aura had surged so much...
But she didn't ask anything.
Some secrets, the young master will tell if he wants to. All she needs to know is that the young master has become more powerful, and that's enough.
Meanwhile, in Wuhun City.
After joining the Spirit Hall, the Li family obtained an independent courtyard in the inner city.
At this moment, Li Yingxue was lying listlessly on the swing in the courtyard, swinging back and forth idly.
At fifteen years old, he had reached the level of a Soul Master of level thirty-eight—an achievement that was astonishing among the younger generation of the Spirit Hall.
But it was precisely because she was so stunning that she fell into a kind of "invincible loneliness".
Those stronger than her are at least two years older than her; winning against them would be bullying a child, and losing would be even more humiliating. Among her peers, there are very few who can withstand ten of her moves.
"How boring..." she sighed, then flipped off the swing with the lightness of a swallow.
"How come they're all so weak? Didn't you say there are always people stronger than you, and mountains beyond mountains?"
Yang Wanqing came out of the house carrying a fruit platter. Looking at her daughter's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, stop complaining. You're so much better than your peers because of your brother's guidance, aren't you?"
"Otherwise, with your innate eighth-level soul power talent, you'd be lucky to reach level thirty-three by now."
Upon hearing this, Li Yingxue immediately puffed out her chest, as proud as a little peacock: "That's right! Don't you know who my brother is—the number one genius of Douluo Continent!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Wanqing placed the fruit plate on the stone table, her eyes full of tenderness.
She did not deny her daughter's words.
The existence of her son, Zhang Qingxuan, is a miracle in itself.
He was not only powerful himself, but also like a sun, illuminating and warming the entire Li family.
Without him, her husband Li Yuntian would probably never have had a chance to become a Title Douluo; she herself might not have even reached the level of Soul Douluo; and the Li family would never have been able to rise from a family in a small border town to become an important force for the Spirit Hall in just a few years.
