People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 220 Body and Mind Integration, Spirit and Flesh as One

Actually, it's because Li Qi's insight isn't strong enough right now. Otherwise, he wouldn't even need to open the treasure chest; he could directly see through the monster and obtain its martial arts. But unfortunately, there's no such good thing right now.

Of course, while fundamental martial arts are difficult to comprehend, sword intent and divine intent are achievable. As long as it doesn't involve the circulation of qi and blood, Li Qi's insight is real and can be used stably. Meridians, as a high-dimensional projection, interfere with his abilities.

In the past, Li Qi could achieve miracles through sheer force, directly breaking through the interference, but that's no longer the case in the world of heroes.

Therefore, instead of choosing the forty points of life from the treasure chest, Li Qi opted for the Mountain and River Overlord Slash, the Thousand Extreme Overlord Slash, and the Heavy Blade.

Among them, the Thousand Extreme Overlord Slash is the ultimate in Blue Weapon quality, even carrying a wisp of purple light, which shows the extraordinary talent of the Heavy Blade Master. As for the Heavy Blade, it is the opponent's weapon, and in terms of quality, it belongs to Blue-level Absolute.

The white treasure chest yielded two blue and one purple items...

However, Li Qi also realized that the treasure chest represented the monster's life level, and what it could contain depended on how the monster was alive.

Both are at the white life level, but some people have a ton of divine skills and unique techniques, while others practice incomplete gray martial arts. How could they possibly get the same thing from the same treasure chest?

Undoubtedly, the stronger the life form, the higher the probability of obtaining good items; the higher the level, the more advanced the things it came into contact with during its lifetime.

Li Qi replaced his original Qingfeng sword with a heavy saber, which immediately granted him +15 sturdiness, +25 weight, and +5 sharpness. The weapon module assimilation was too slow, but fortunately, it could be replaced at any time.

As for the two martial arts manuals, Li Qi learned them directly. After a little comprehension, he was able to master the Qian Yuan Dao Jing and quickly leveled up to level one hundred.

Both of these martial arts are skills, and they are different from the way martial arts work in reality. In reality, martial arts are actually a combination of skills and internal strength. Therefore, even though Li Qi is exceptionally intelligent now, he still needs to cultivate little by little and accumulate strength.

However, the skills in the world of martial arts originate from the meridian system. Li Qi, now with his buffs maxed out and extraordinary wisdom, managed to comprehend two martial arts techniques to level one hundred in just a few minutes...

This speed is simply terrifying!
While it was certainly fast, Li Qi felt it lacked something. It didn't have the kind of feeling that martial arts in reality could touch the root and the source. It was like a rootless duckweed, a tree in the air...

"The essence of the Qian Yuan Dao Jing seems to be the meridians, but it is actually the mind, so I didn't feel anything was wrong. Now, when I try to comprehend these two martial arts, the essence of which is the meridians, it feels too superficial."

"Could it be that this meridian system is actually a trap?!"

Suddenly, this thought popped into Li Qi's mind.

After checking the time, Li Qi realized he still had a few minutes left. He wasn't going to die from his injuries anytime soon, and he didn't want to go after the remaining two blue monsters, as they would just kill him anyway. So he headed towards the Ruins of Light, wanting to experience that feeling of traversing worlds again.

At the same time, I also wanted to see if he could lower the requirement of three points of willpower now that he has added my heart's light and a bit of demonic essence.

After all, these two things are clearly closer to the origin.

However, the result still disappointed Li Qi. The panel's judgment mechanism was stuck, seemingly involving some fundamental rule. Even if Li Qi's status was fully stacked, it was still useless.

It should be noted that the actual effect of his willpower is now at the level of five or even six that a person without cheating would achieve.

However, the panel only recognizes numerical values ​​and nothing else. Nevertheless, the increase in willpower attribute is not useless. Li Qi is now only a fraction of a second away from three points of willpower, so this time, he was just a hair's breadth away from crossing the barrier, and he saw the other world with unprecedented clarity.

It was a decaying city, covered in a carpet of flesh and bacteria, and teeming with strangely shaped monsters that roamed the city, but unlike the world of martial arts, they did not transform into earthbound spirits.

For Li Qi, monsters were undoubtedly good things; killing them would open treasure chests.

"If crossing world fragments can yield templates, I wonder what kind of template such a world would have—evolutionary mutation? Or life completion?!"

This was Li Qi's last thought before he was washed away by the light of the void and returned to reality.

"Unbeknownst to me, I had defeated all the white monsters in the dungeon. However, the transformation from white to blue is a qualitative change, and even if I complete the advancement of the Demon Tiger, it will definitely not be enough."

"The only thing we can do is to quickly get our willpower to level three and go unlock the new map."

"This past month or so has felt like an eternity..."

"But isn't this the kind of life I've been longing for? If it were really like before, day after day, an endless cycle, with no hope, no future, and no expectation in my heart, it would be worse than death..."

"But right now, my world and path are infinitely open, even far beyond the real world itself. This is indeed the anchor point of my life."

Li Qi thought to himself, and then took a moment to check the weekly shop that had been refreshed again. As luck would have it, he found the God Group's research data again, but not from 2050, but from 2036.

One of their research areas is brain-computer interfaces.

After buying it, Li Qi felt the information flowing through his mind and had to admit that the research capabilities of the God Group were indeed powerful.

However, the frequent appearance of the other party's items made Li Qi wonder if, in a possible future timeline, the other party wielded immense influence across the entire world, resulting in a vast causal relationship that made it easier to obtain their items.

This shop, though called a shop, is essentially just a way of capturing information from space and time; it doesn't actually source goods from any particular place or connect with some massive trans-temporal force.

The name "store" simply better suited Li Qi's understanding.

After resting for a while, eating, drinking, and washing up, Li Qi went to sleep. And while he was sleeping, something different about him became apparent.

If someone were to stare at Li Qi at this moment, they might even feel that he is radiating light. This is not a real radiance, but a feeling from the soul.

Not only that, Li Qi's breathing also became barely perceptible, and his entire life state seemed to have returned to its innate state, even showing some signs of innate fetal breathing. Although it was only a sign and not true fetal breathing, it was still terrifying enough.

When Li Qi woke up the next morning, he immediately refreshed the log.

Log: You have completed a deep sleep, achieving harmony between body and mind, and a unified spirit and flesh. Your life potential has been partially unleashed and developed, resulting in an improvement in your six attributes: Essence +0.02, Vital Energy +0.03, Divine Energy +0.05, Mind +0.04, Willpower +0.02, Wisdom +0.05.
A single sleep, a cycle of life and death, completely erased the disharmony brought about by Li Qi's tremendous improvement yesterday, allowing his life to grow in all aspects.
