People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 682: Abundant Martial Arts
Under the moonlight, an old man was moving at an extreme speed, as fast as light and lightning.

But in the next instant, a voice clearly rang out beside him: "Old man, jogging at this hour is truly a way to maintain good health."

"However, I see that your lifespan is coming to an end, and you are probably about to die."

Li Qi's figure suddenly appeared in front of the old man. Clearly, the area around Li Qi was very open, and there was no one in the surrounding wilderness. But at this moment, the old man felt a strong sense of emptiness. The sky was high and the earth was vast, but there was nowhere for him to escape. All directions were dead ends.

This old man was none other than Li Yongsheng, the peak half-saint of the Li lineage of the Sage.

The era of Li Yongsheng was different from today. In this era, people are very casual about naming their children. But in Li Yongsheng's time, large families strictly followed the family genealogy. Li Yongsheng's generation was the "Yong" generation.

Li Yongsheng and Li Yongshou were of the same generation.

Li Yongsheng was incredibly alert. He would flee at the slightest sign of trouble, without even glancing back to check the situation. He was remarkably cautious.

But when faced with Li Qi's killing based on cause and effect, running away is futile.

Li Qi even made him run for a few more minutes, but he still managed to overtake Li Qi despite starting later.

Li Yongsheng appears incredibly old at first glance, seemingly nearing the end of his lifespan. However, as a peak-level half-saint, his appearance reflects his inner state and he does not age. Martial arts masters age slowly, and once they attain the Great True Person realm, they can even freeze their appearance or reverse aging to a certain extent, becoming younger as they live.

However, few truly accomplished people do this; once they reach that level, they won't be fixated on superficial appearances.

As for Li Yongsheng, he is not nearing the end of his life; given his condition, living for another forty years or so is not a problem.

He is just over a hundred years old now, and the lifespan of a peak half-saint is roughly one hundred and fifty years.

Li Yongsheng's current state was simply due to the use of secret alchemical methods to suppress his vitality and blood energy. This is the way of cultivating life and nourishing health, where one usually suppresses his blood energy and uses the body as a furnace to refine it to perfection.

At crucial moments, it can not only be used to unleash devastating attacks on enemies, but also to prolong life and shorten the time until death when one is on the verge of death.

It could even be said that it contains some implications of recreating the cycle of sixty years. Li Qi has now grasped some of the key points of recreating the cycle of sixty years. Half of it is the deep stimulation of the mysteries of life, so as to achieve rejuvenation. The other part is to transfer a portion of the mysterious power that connects the spirit and the body to make up for the deficiencies.

If there were no Heavenly Blade to reap the harvest in this world, recreating the sexagenary cycle would only require completing the first half. Unfortunately, there are no "ifs," so even a sage would have to shorten his lifespan to recreate the sexagenary cycle.

Li Qi is now undergoing a tribulation, and the mysterious power he possesses is quite formidable. In fact, it's said that the power he consumes is not as fast as his recovery. Even if this power is severed, his spirit can still forcefully control his body without any impact.

Others can't do it simply because they're not strong enough. The Great Evolution Fifty-Five, such a proof, is no ordinary feat!

However, Li Qi is still unable to recreate the cycle of sixty years. The reason is that he is still slightly lacking in pure power.

The idea of ​​making people young again involves profound mysteries of life, and certain key points can only be activated and stimulated by a sufficiently powerful and pure force.

However, these will not be problems once he finishes the Mountain and River Trial.

"Why must the Daoist Master be so ruthless as to exterminate them all..."

Li Yongsheng let out a long breath, his voice resonating, each word spoken with extreme slowness.

"With your martial arts skills, Daoist Master, you must be able to sense profound mysteries. I am not without the power to resist."

"It's just that some things come at a price that's too high."

"If I risk everything, I may not be the one who dies in the end."

Strange glints of light appeared in Li Yongsheng's eyes, accompanied by an eerie aura.

"Use the methods you have quickly; don't hesitate or be indecisive."

"If I hadn't known you had these skills, you would already be dead. If I hadn't intended to, you wouldn't even have had time to use them." "One second, one second later, I'll kill you."

As Li Qi's voice rang out, under the moonlight, Li Yongsheng instantly felt an overwhelming sense of death.

"I have traversed the world for a hundred years, weathering countless storms and hardships, yet I never imagined that a mere youth would force me into this predicament."

“Talent, laughable talent…”

"Youyou Cang Tian, ​​how can you treat me less favorably?"

"That's all..."

In an instant, as Li Yongsheng's heart trembled, he also looked up to the sky and roared, as if to vent the sorrow in his heart.

Then, in an instant, his temperament and demeanor underwent a tremendous change. A vast and mysterious aura rose from his body, and the blood and qi that he had condensed into a pill returned to his entire body at this moment, stimulating the vitality of his body.

His originally withered and thin body suddenly swelled up, and he grew nearly thirty centimeters taller, transforming from an old man into a dashing man who looked to be in his early thirties.

"Finally home!"

Li Yongsheng's voice rang out again, but the tone was completely different, as if not only his appearance had changed, but his inner self had also been replaced at this moment.

"When I descend to earth, the whole world submits, and I shall be the master of the human world."

"Young man, you're not bad. Kneel down, be my dog, and I'll give you a way out."

Li Yongsheng's eyes turned silvery-white, carrying the ruthlessness of the heavens and the vastness of gods and demons.

However, the other party's posture lasted only a moment. After seeing Li Qi clearly, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Emperor Qi?!"

"impossible!"

"How can you still be alive!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is clearly..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence and didn't continue.

At this moment, Li Qi perceived the true power exerted, but even though he had reached the fifty-fifth level of the Great Evolution, which theoretically allowed him to surpass all phenomena, he still only sensed a few intermittent, fragmented pieces.

The fragment depicted a great being, who, to Li Qi, seemed even more powerful than the light being he had seen during the second Death Line.

"Very good, the elements of this world are becoming increasingly complex..."

"What level of treasure is that mirror?"

"However, treasures are always reserved for the virtuous. Given my martial virtue, now that I know about them, it means they are destined to be mine."

Li Qi calmed down and didn't think much about the so-called Heavenly Emperor.

If he can't beat them later, it only means one thing: he hasn't gotten stronger fast enough, nothing more.

As for treasures, while it's true that power should be sought internally, it would be foolish to ignore unclaimed treasures and allow others to use them to attack you.

The so-called internal seeking does not mean rejecting external things, but rather treating everything external as a tool or an aid, rather than as the main thing.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect; without practice, how can one achieve authenticity?
