Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 14: The triple rebirth is done in an instant!
In the mountains and forests, Zhou Cheng sat cross-legged, his blood and energy surging, like a dragon.

The vast life essence revived in Zhou Cheng's body. Under the tempering of internal cultivation methods and runes, it turned into endless divine light and Qi, filling his body and nourishing his injuries.

The essence of both is the most fundamental energy of life, just different forms created by being tempered in different ways.

The energy between heaven and earth also gathered towards Zhou Cheng during this process, and the originally sluggish aura began to recover rapidly.

After a moment, Zhou Cheng slowly opened his eyes and saw the old Taoist priest and Lu Jin standing in front of him.

In this battle, Lu Jin was almost always maintaining the third level of Reverse Rebirth, so he was hardly injured. However, his own Qi was consumed too much, and his whole body was exhausted.

"Boss Zhou, I, Old Lu, will follow the agreement and present the secret book of the third level of reverse life to you."

As Lu Jin spoke, he handed over an ancient book.

The material of the ancient book should be kraft paper, which is very hard and bound with thick hemp rope. The paper has many wrinkles and is severely yellowed, obviously having experienced the sedimentation of time.

"Thank you Mr. Lu for your advice."

Zhou Cheng took the ancient book very solemnly.

Lu Jin groaned and said, "If Mr. Zhou intends to practice the third level of Reverse Life, it would be best to let me know."

The Three Stages of Reverse Life is different from the general methods of harmonizing dragon and tiger, and assisting Kan and Li. It seeks to reverse the flow of true Qi from the very beginning, and therefore requires extremely high control over Qi.

When the Sanyi Sect was still in existence, there were many disabled elderly people in the sect. They were all disabled because something went wrong while practicing the third level of reverse life.

At this time, Xu San came over after picking up Zhou Cheng's scattered dragon horn bow. The old Taoist priest also spoke at the right time: "You two, this is not a place to talk."

"I have prepared a quiet room for you two to communicate. Let's talk in detail later."

……

About ten minutes later, in a quiet room.

Zhou Cheng and Lu Jin sat cross-legged on a cushion facing each other. Some old incense was lit, and the refreshing fragrance wafted in the air.

Zhou Cheng was flipping through the contents of the third level of Reverse Rebirth, while Lu Jin was explaining it beside him.

"Boss Zhou, the three foundations of reverse life are to strengthen the five internal organs and nourish the six bowels."

"When the five qi are strong enough, they can be reversed into the original innate true qi. Use the true qi to polish the body, soul, and life, so that they begin to go against the innate. This is considered entry."

"The most difficult part is to reverse the five qi. The normal circulation of the five qi is the method of mutual generation of the five elements, while the reverse generation of the three levels is exactly the opposite."

"If you reverse the five qi, once you make a mistake, the five qi will interfere with each other, which will cause you to lose all your power at the least and break all your meridians at the worst."

This is also one of the reasons why the three levels of reverse life must be practiced from a young age.

For those who have practiced for a certain number of years, practicing internal Qi and harmonizing dragon and tiger have become instincts. The difficulty of reverse practice is much greater than that of a child who is still a blank slate.

The reverse refining of the Five Qi requires extremely high control. The child's life cultivation is insufficient, and his spirit is not strong. It is difficult for him to control the Qi precisely, and it is also easy to make mistakes.

Simply put, it is a two-way block. Unless you are very talented, it is difficult to get started.

While listening to Lu Jin's explanation, Zhou Cheng was also verifying the contents of the three levels of reverse life.

Simply put, most internal cultivation methods such as the Golden Light Mantra are about absorbing the natural Qi of heaven and earth into one's own body, transforming it into the true Qi to nourish the five internal organs and strengthen the body and soul, thereby improving one's own life cultivation.

Including the deeper level of the Golden Light Mantra, the Five Thunders Righteous Method, which is also generated from the Five Qi and evolves into the Thunder Qi.

The three levels of reverse birth are to use the natural qi to strengthen the five qi, and then reversely refine the five qi into the true qi, refine oneself, and feed back to oneself. It is also a means to strengthen life.

Their paths are different, and the means they use are also different. One emits golden light, while the other transforms itself into Qi.

But one thing is the same, both are means to make one's life stronger, and they are the same goal.

"Perhaps, the Five Qi Reversal is not a bottleneck for me."

Zhou Cheng spoke softly, as if thinking about something, and Lu Jin beside him was startled.

hum!
As the blood and energy in Zhou Cheng's body hummed, dazzling rays of light emerged from his body. Every drop of his blood seemed to be burning, emitting a dazzling glow that spread throughout every inch of his body inside and out.

Unlike practicing Qi, the Rune God Light emerged from the flesh and blood, naturally filling the whole body and stimulating every part of the body. "Condensation!"

Dazzling divine light surged within Zhou Cheng's body, blending into hundreds of meridians throughout his body, transforming into complex silk threads that connected the routes required for the triple circulation of Qi in reverse.

Zhou Cheng's eyes were half closed, his consciousness settled in his body, and the innate Qi surged out from his Dantian and entered his internal organs.

The pure true Qi surged in the light network formed by the interweaving of the divine light, leading the five Qi to merge into the meridians, reversing the circulation of the Qi, transforming into the innate Qi, and spreading into the tiny meridians throughout the limbs, filling the whole body in a moment.

When Zhou Cheng opened his eyes again, the color of his skin had faded, becoming whiter and more crystal clear, with a faint glow flowing on it.

boom!
Lu Jin stood up suddenly, and the floor under his feet shattered with a bang. He looked at Zhou Cheng with disbelief!
The third level of reverse life, enter in an instant!
"Boss Zhou... have you ever been exposed to the third level of Reverse Life?"

When Lu Jin spoke, his lips and beard trembled slightly.

Is this reasonable?

Obviously, Lu Jin could not understand the scene before him. Even among the ancestors of the Sanyi Sect, the fastest one needed several days to practice the third level of reverse life and become a master.

"That's not the case. Mr. Lu misunderstood."

Zhou Cheng shook his head and began to explain: "I transformed my own vitality into another kind of 'special Qi', which I called 'Xi'. Xi and Qi do not interfere with each other."

"Therefore, I only use Xi to strengthen my own meridians and guide the five qi to reverse. As long as Xi can withstand it, there will naturally be no situation where the five qi interfere with each other."

Hearing this, Lu Jin opened his mouth and looked at Zhou Cheng with a complicated expression.

He just wanted to advise Zhou Cheng that it is best to start refining the five qi in reverse with the earth qi of the spleen. Earth qi is neutral, peaceful and the easiest to control.

However, before he began to explain, Zhou Cheng had already completed the reverse cultivation of the Five Qi, going against the innate nature and causing his own body to show the initial signs of transformation into Qi.

After saying that, Zhou Cheng solemnly returned the original secret book of the third level of reverse life in his hand to Lu Jin.

"Mr. Lu, I think there shouldn't be three levels of Reverse Life at all."

Sure enough, Zhou Cheng's speculation about the follow-up of the Three Stages of Reverse Rebirth was correct based on the plot about Zuo Rutong in the original novel.

Whether it is the second or third level, they are just more complicated methods of moving Qi, making the structure of Qi more complex and detailed, and the degree of Qiization deeper, from the skin, hair, tendons and bones to the internal organs, and then from the internal organs to the whole body.

The essential means of polishing life have not changed at all, only the Qi transformation techniques have changed.

"Reversing life is originally a process of going against one's innate nature. The contents of the second and third levels are all about making one's own Qi structure more sophisticated, breaking through deeper barriers, and making the Qi transformation more thorough and more powerful."

"This is equivalent to the Golden Light Mantra no longer pursuing the improvement of life, but starting to pursue how to make the golden light more powerful."

"Whether it is Qi transformation or golden light, they are just abilities brought about by the improvement of one's own life."

"It's not that there's anything wrong with making your own Qi transformation methods stronger, but improving your own life is the foundation of everything."

“So I say… your sect is too obsessed with how to completely transform itself into Qi and ascend to heaven. The refinement of life and death has become a subsidiary of the Qi transformation method.”

"As for the argument of putting the cart before the horse and confusing cause and effect, it is indeed a bit too much. If it is offensive, please forgive me, Mr. Lu."

After listening to this, Lu Jin sighed and said, "No offense, Mr. Zhou is right."

"After my master passed away, I have been thinking about some issues, including the last words he left behind. In fact, I have roughly realized that we seem to have lost sight of the main goal, but... I just don't want to face it."

After saying this, Lu Jin slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his breath lingering.

When Lu Jin opened his eyes again, his expression was normal and a hearty smile appeared on his face.

"It is also my good fortune to be able to meet Mr. Zhou."

"The Luotian Grand Ceremony is about to begin. Why don't you stay in Longhu Mountain for a while to see what the younger generation of the alien world is like and exchange some ideas while you're at it."

Zhou Cheng naturally would not refuse, no matter where he practiced.

Besides, Zhou Cheng also planned to catch the Liuku Immortal Thief next.

Instead of taking the initiative to go to Nasen Island to look for Ruan Feng, the enlightened person, it is better to sit back and wait for Baron, the successor of the Liuku Immortal Thief, to come to Longhu Mountain to cause trouble.
