The devil descended from the sky, and his fists suppressed the mountains and rivers

Chapter 328 Birth and Death Depend on the Mind: The True Art of Penglai - Jade Condensation Technique (Part 1)

How to become a true immortal?

Upon hearing the figure's words, Yi Beidou was slightly taken aback.

This figure single-handedly built the Penglai Immortal Mountain, possessing the immense strength to carry mountains on his shoulders. He is a legendary "Earth Immortal," a true immortal in the eyes of the world.

But even now, this person still reveals a desire to seek true immortality.

Are they not yet true immortals?

Yi Beidou felt puzzled, but then a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he had another guess.

Or rather, they can only be called "fake immortals"?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Why does the legendary "Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth" separate humans and gods?
Why have the immortal earth immortals, who should be immortal, disappeared from the world?
Why would an organization like the Investiture of the Gods Alliance have an ancestral precept to isolate all information about earthly immortals?

It seems that these Earth Immortals possess even deeper secrets, and Yi Beidou has only scratched the surface of it.

But even this small corner contains information that many ancient people could hardly know.

This gave Yi Beidou more to speculate about regarding the realm of earth immortals in the ancient mythological era.

However, these secrets were merely incidental and not what Tonggan Yi Beidou truly wanted to obtain this time.

At the same time, the residual will in the Earth Immortal Cell seemed to sense Yi Beidou's thoughts, and the figure in the scene actually shifted its gaze, seemingly meeting Yi Beidou's eyes.

In an instant, the scene before Yi Beidou's eyes distorted and collapsed, no longer flashing any memory fragments, but instead showing an extremely clear and stable scene.

Not only can you see images and hear sounds, but you also have all six senses, as if you were actually there.

This was a beach. Yi Beidou recognized it at a glance as the beach scenery of Penglai Immortal Mountain, and it seemed to be most similar to the spiritual realm beach of the immortal mountain he entered after contacting the murals of the immortal mountain.

On the beach, a figure was sitting cross-legged.

He had no facial features, wore no clothes, and had no androgynous characteristics.

Yi Beidou could clearly see that the figure's skin was shrinking and festering, its muscles were corroding and oozing pus, and its entire body seemed to be gradually liquefying.

This is the power called "Calamity," which can erode flesh and blood, dissolve bones, and directly destroy the vitality of a living being.

At this moment, Yi Beidou could clearly feel the operating principle of this power, something he had never experienced before in the murals of the Immortal Mountain.

The restorative power brought by Penglai Technique is achieved by stimulating body cells, greatly unleashing their potential, and accelerating the consumption of nutrients in the body to achieve self-repair, while the essence of the power of "Disaster and Filth" is completely the opposite.

This is a process of stimulating the body in reverse, stripping away life energy.

Yi Beidou carefully sensed that special charm, which seemed to be something that the remaining will was deliberately showing him.

After the body disintegrated to a certain extent, it suddenly began to repair itself. New flesh grew from the rotting flesh, and it became full and intact again. When the body was fully restored, the power of calamity was activated again, and the flesh began to be reduced. This cycle repeated itself.

Birth and death occur in an endless cycle, and reincarnation continues.

Yi Beidou sensed that what the Earth Immortal Cells wanted to tell him was not just this principle, but something deeper beneath the surface of this principle.

Yi Beidou gradually discovered that as the figure's life and death cycle continued, a clear jade-like radiance gradually appeared around his body. This radiance was spreading outwards and disappearing into the environment.

The unique feeling of the jade-like luster reminded Yi Beidou of a scene he had seen not long ago.

The figure hurled boulders and moved mountains to cover the surface of objects, creating a jade-like luster somewhat similar to a bio-force field.

This is the "vitality" that disappears between birth and death.

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Yi Beidou, and he felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

The Penglai Technique stimulates cells and greatly enhances the body's repair capabilities, even to the point of regenerating severed limbs in the blink of an eye. However, this repair ability requires a huge amount of nutrients, which means it requires a huge amount of physical energy.

Even if an ordinary person mastered all the essence of the Penglai Technique, it would be impossible for them to reach the level of a top expert like Yi Beidou.

The power of calamity and filth strips away and diminishes vitality from human cells, causing cell necrosis and the disintegration of flesh.

But energy is always conserved, so where did these stripped-off lives go?

Based on current observations, it appears to have transformed into an energy form, which then evaporated and merged into nature.

However, if this energy could be actively controlled...
"You are indeed extraordinary. You have grasped the mysteries in such a short time. I have never seen anything like it before."

"The true essence of the Penglai Technique is never just about healing and restoring life force, but about mastering the use of one's own life force amidst birth and death, thereby pursuing the possibility of breaking through limits."

"Life force is like jade; if you condense and control it, even the humblest grass in Penglai has the potential to reach the heavens!"

A voice resounded in Yi Beidou's mind. This was a true meaning transmission, transcending language and words, directly conveying a feeling and insight into Yi Beidou's mind.

Just like the initiation ceremony.

However, this is not like the previous Yi Beidou Tonggan Jixin Sword, where the will within the sword needed to be revived through his body; it is merely a transmission of knowledge and insights.

It seems that this happened because the will within the flesh and blood of the Earth Immortal recognized Yi Beidou's abilities.

This is a transmission from an unknown ancient era.

Finally, remember this: only by relying on your own strength can you become a true immortal.

As the infusion of enlightenment occurred, that voice rang out again, as grand as celestial music.

Then the entire synesthetic illusion began to become unstable, as if that will had exhausted all its power, and the illusion began to collapse.

In an instant, Yi Beidou returned to reality.

In synesthesia, one may seem to experience many fragmented and scattered memory pieces, but in reality, they are only fleeting moments.

boom! !

A terrifying explosion filled Yi Beidou's mind, and the light before his eyes scattered like dust. A terrifying force came from in front of him.

At this moment, Yi Beidou is still maintaining his posture of exchanging blows with Dong Wang.

Before the synesthesia, in order to fully activate the flesh and blood will of that Penglai Earth Immortal within the Eastern King's body, he did not hesitate to directly disintegrate a calamity star, thereby activating its energy burst power in one go.

Meanwhile, Dong Wang also used a terrifying move called "Qi Tun Wan Xiang" to confront Yi Bei Dou head-on.

Now it seems that the power unleashed by the Eastern King using the power of the Earth Immortal's flesh and blood is obviously much stronger.

clap clap clap! !

As the two collided, the terrifying force and the enormous vortex that seemed to devour everything swept over them, causing cracks to appear in Yi Beidou's arm bones and his skin and flesh to explode instantly.

Not only that, this force, like a thorn in his side, spread all the way up his arm, causing most of Yi Beidou's body to crack like a shattered mirror. After coughing up a mouthful of blood, his body flew backward like a cannonball, rolling nearly a hundred meters before finally coming to a stop.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the spectators gaped slightly, and the scene fell silent.

Yi Beidou had raised his power to a terrifying level. Every collision between the two was no less powerful than a missile explosion. The terrifying Blood Fire Throne loomed in the air, giving everyone the illusion that Yi Beidou could overpower his opponent.

But now it seems that it was all in vain.

It would be far too difficult for modern martial artists to confront these legendary beings, given their limited understanding of the world's secrets and their insufficient possession of crucial items such as the flesh and blood of immortals.

This was a purely hardware-based gap, one that could not be bridged without shortcuts. Zhou Qingchen and the others looked grave, gritting their teeth, and remained still. They trusted Yi Beidou; he had told them not to act, so they wouldn't.

In the Special Security Bureau, everyone was glued to the screen, knowing that the biggest reversal was possible only at the most dangerous moment. Yi Beidou had never let anyone down.

Can he do it this time?

the other side.

Yi Beidou had just steadied himself and stood up straight.

Bang bang bang bang! !
It was as if numerous hand grenades had been planted all over his body and exploded simultaneously. His flesh and blood ripped apart into bloody foam from the inside out. The blood-fire demonic flames in the sky became flickering and uncertain. Even the shape of the throne could not be maintained and was disintegrating.

"You have reached your limit. Your secret technique has completely lost its balance and cannot be salvaged. It seems I don't need to kill you. Soon, I will be able to enjoy a burst of bright red flesh and blood."

With a calm expression, Dong Wang walked step by step toward Yi Beidou from a distance.

"Yi Beidou!"

Zhou Qingchen and the others also witnessed this scene, and their faces completely changed color.

The secret technique has become unbalanced, and a backlash is coming; this situation is simply a dead end.

Even if Yi Beidou could still use the same method to counteract the backlash, his opponent would not give him that opportunity.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Yi Beidou's injuries don't seem to be enough to withstand another backlash.

At this point, they could no longer wait; they had to go all out to save Yi Beidou's life.

“I told you, you don’t need to lift a finger. I’ll handle things here.”

Just then, Yi Beidou's voice rang out again, seemingly unaffected by the terrifying injuries on his body.

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent?"

A cold smile appeared on the Eastern King's face.

Although he sensed something was amiss, he did not notice the synesthesia that Yi Beidou experienced at that moment.

He still doesn't know what happened.

The Eastern King did not make a move. Instead, he stood with his arms crossed, waiting quietly like a proud emperor, ready to watch the magnificent fireworks.

Yi Beidou completely ignored the other party.

His situation is indeed very bad right now.

The simultaneous possession of four calamity stars had already pushed him to his mental limit, and the attack launched by the collapsing calamity stars instantly destroyed the balance of his essence, energy, and spirit.

This caused the chaotic disintegration of the Heavenly Demon within his body to completely spiral out of control, and his physical body entered a state of collapse.

In this state, even if the gods suppressed within the body were used to share the burden, it would not be able to stop the process.

There is only one way to turn the tide.

That is, to greatly increase the physical strength of one's body in a short period of time, so that it can withstand the impact of the secret technique's outburst and stabilize itself again.

But this is easier said than done?

His full potential was already at its limit, and the power after the rampage surpassed even 120% of his previous capacity. How could he possibly increase his physical strength so dramatically in such a short time?
Unless, in an instant, one can possess enough flesh and blood of an Earth Immortal.

But that was the old standard of measurement; now it's completely different.

Yi Beidou has obtained the true secrets of the Penglai Technique.

hum! !

Yi Beidou absorbed a large amount of Penglai power, and his body recovered, but it was immediately shattered due to the surge of the secret technique.

Upon seeing this, the Eastern King's lips curled into a smile that seemed to confirm his expectations.

At this point, even the magic of Penglai couldn't save Yi Beidou.

However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.

He saw that patterns composed of jade-like luster, seemingly tangible, suddenly appeared on Yi Beidou's palm.

These patterns, much like the steel bars inside a building, provide strong reinforcement, greatly enhancing the strength of the corresponding body parts of Yi Beidou.

And this jade pattern is rapidly spreading across Yi Beidou's body.

Wherever the jade patterns passed, Yi Beidou's restored body stopped disintegrating, and within a short breath, the jade patterns covered Yi Beidou's entire body.

Enveloped in demonic flames, jade patterns adorned his body!

boom! !

The demonic flames erupted once more, and the crumbling Bloodfire Throne in the sky became clear again, now more solid and imposing.

"So that's how it is. Is this the true purpose of 'jade'?"

Yi Beidou said softly.

The jade patterns on his body were formed from the life force extracted from the life-and-death techniques of Penglai.

This force is both a biomagnetic field and a substantial form of energy, possessing the ability to truly influence real-world phenomena.

One of its capabilities is "cohesion" or "solidification".

Specifically, this manifests as an enhanced magnetic field cohesion between molecules, making it easier for the object to maintain its integrity and prevent it from collapsing.

This reminded Yi Beidou of the images he saw through synesthesia.

The immortal from Penglai covered the entire boulder with jade-like radiance, and defied the laws of physics by lifting and throwing it. The boulder did not break apart, and even when it finally landed on the beach, it still maintained its original state.

This characteristic, because it is provided by life force and used for the organism itself, has a more obvious effect.

Unfortunately, even though Yi Beidou is a genius, having just received the true inheritance of Penglai Immortal Techniques, it is already quite remarkable that he was able to extract life force to strengthen himself without much practice or research.

But given the current situation, that should be enough.

At least for a moment, he suppressed the backlash of the secret technique that should have endangered his life.

"What kind of supernatural power do you possess?!"

The Eastern King stared intently at Yi Beidou, his face twitching, his eyes revealing disbelief, fanaticism, and greed.

He possesses a large amount of the flesh and blood of a Penglai immortal and has studied it for thousands of years. Although he cannot use the true Penglai techniques, he has an instinctive familiarity with this power.

This is not the power of mortals, but true divine power!!

A power far surpassing the physical body and even the vital energy!
And it shares the same origin as the Penglai magic!!
But why did Yi Beidou come to possess this power?!
"What kind of supernatural power? This is the true Penglai Immortal Technique. Didn't the earth immortal blood and flesh within you teach you this?"

Yi Beidou said calmly.
