Chapter 89 The Primordial Qi (15)

Time always slips away unnoticed.

Especially when things are particularly busy, three years can pass in the blink of an eye.

This year marks the seventh year since Li Boyang came into this world; according to the traditional Chinese age reckoning, he is already eight years old.

However, thanks to Li Boyang's special circumstances, his performance in all aspects far surpasses that of children his age.

No, let alone children of the same age in this era.

Even if he were to return to modern society in the 21st century, Li Boyang would definitely be treated as a typical example of a "monster" for research.

First, there's the most easily observable aspect: physical fitness.

To say that they could carry mountains or catch the moon, or move mountains and fill seas, would be an absolute exaggeration.

But things like tearing apart tigers and leopards or lifting nine tripods were not difficult for Li Boyang.

Most importantly, Li Boyang is not the kind of big, muscular guy who looks like he only knows how to use brute force.

Li Boyang's physical qualities are specifically manifested in his exaggerated athletic performance.

From pure strength to lung capacity, and then to neural recruitment and reflexes...

Li Boyang's athletic performance in all aspects has reached an incredible level.

If we had to make a horizontal comparison, perhaps only Li Jingshu, who also practiced the "Breathing Method," could be compared with her.

When Li Jingshu was nine years old, she had the ability to climb Ghost God Cliff on her own.

Once one becomes familiar with the "Exercise-Based Vital Energy Regulation Breathing Method," and can fill the body with vital energy through the flow of breath, one can remain unharmed even if falling from a great height.

It's no exaggeration to say that, with her protective aura, Li Jingshu's body was practically indistinguishable from steel.

Li Boyang, who is only seven years old this year, has already surpassed Li Jingshu, who is practicing internal energy circulation, in terms of pure physical fitness.

"call!"

They sat cross-legged in the waterfall pool at the foot of Feilai Peak.

Li Boyang intentionally restrained his indestructible protective sword energy, and simply endured the intense impact of the waterfall with his physical body.

Before Li Boyang arrived at Feilai Peak, the water flow and impact of this waterfall were not as strong as they are now.

Only after mastering the "Exercise-type Life Energy Regulation Breathing Method" did his essence and energy overflow naturally.

Anyone who wants to transcend the physical realm and engage in spiritual practice must first learn to "enter samadhi" (a state of deep meditation).

This is because it is the introductory requirement for "The Quiet Type: Perception and Advanced Method of the Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth".

The problem is that, regardless of whether it is Li Jingshu or Xi Luo, their physical abilities far exceed the limits of normal living beings.

The ordinary impact of the waterfall could not suppress their distracting thoughts.

Not to mention, helping them enter that meditative state where "one thought arises and ten thousand thoughts cease."

Left with no other choice, Li Boyang had to dig several more streams above Feilai Peak, and then, through several years of cloud and rain manipulation, finally increased the waterfall's flow.

Even now, Li Jingshu, whose physique has gradually become inhuman, is now...

If you don't activate your protective qi, you won't be able to stand for more than a few seconds under the impact of the waterfall.

As for someone like Li Boyang, who sat cross-legged under a waterfall and meditated?

Perhaps only Xi Luo, who can never calm down, has this kind of physical ability!
"call!"

Eyes closed, breathing smoothly...

Through years of quiet meditation, Li Boyang had long since mastered the true state of mindlessness.

—When the mind is focused, spirituality naturally manifests.

The surging life force flowed through Li Boyang's acupoints, but was always confined within his meridians.

Only when it flows through the dantian and the space between the eyebrows will the life force decrease slightly, becoming nourishment for the growth of the sword pellet and the third eye.

However, more vital energy will enhance Li Boyang's physical qualities during the circulation process, and then become purer and more abundant through the feedback from his body.

tumultuous!
At that moment, a ray of inspiration emerged from the depths of Li Boyang's soul.

However, this glimmer of light did not transform into a primordial spirit as before, but instead intervened in the flow of life energy. In a state of mental stillness, Li Boyang did not entertain any thoughts, but observed the free expression of that spirituality like the eternal Dao itself.

As a result, the life force, after being imprinted with the mark of spiritual light, became unusually active.

At this moment, Li Boyang's essence, energy, and spirit were perfectly integrated, seemingly forming an independent cycle distinct from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) began to respond to that spiritual call.

It should be noted that ever since Li Boyang transferred the curse of the gnat to his shadow, his body has been filled only with pure life energy.

But now, new spiritual energy from heaven and earth is flowing into his body.

More importantly, this primordial energy of heaven and earth is not the evil energy of the earth's veins, but a complex collection of many kinds of primordial energy.

It possesses the intense scorching energy of the sun...

There is the primordial energy of the earth flowing within the veins of mountains and rivers...

It possesses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, born from all living beings and the entire universe...

—As mysterious and profound as heaven and earth, as enduring as the Great Dao.

That complex primordial energy perfectly matched Li Boyang's own characteristics and quickly merged with the life energy within his body.

Through a series of complex chemical reactions that Li Boyang could not yet comprehend, a brand new primordial energy, exhibiting a dark yellow color, was born.

"call!"

In an instant, Li Boyang was startled awake from his "unconscious state" and realized the true nature of this mysterious yellow energy.

—This is the essence of heaven and earth, the spirit of all things, and the manifestation of one's own cognition.

When the vital energy of life completely transforms into the primordial yellow energy.

Li Boyang's meridians and physical body also exhibited a dazzling golden hue.

This primordial energy not only preserved all the attributes of life essence, but also endowed Li Boyang with an additional ability—to be unaffected by cause and effect.

Or, to be more precise, it is to completely integrate oneself into all things and become a part of nature.

Li Boyang had just had the idea of ​​having his current situation divined.

His intuition told him that the Destiny Bone Armor was completely incapable of performing divination on him in this state.

The divination using the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor can only determine that Li Boyang is an ordinary person, and then extrapolate the possibilities of his future based on the fate of an ordinary person.

Of course, Li Boyang could also transform himself into a mountain dweller, a spirit, a priest, or a series of other special destinies that he knew or had come into contact with, in order to mislead the divination of the Heavenly Destiny Bone Armor.

That big black dog really went down the wrong path...

[Forcibly combining essence, energy, and spirit by abandoning all external interference is not the right path...]

Humans are an integral part of the universe; how can they truly exist independently?

Only this natural and perfectly integrated state qualifies one to achieve the true Dao of 'unity of man and nature'.

When such a thought popped into Li Boyang's mind.

The sword pellet in the dantian immediately responded, greedily devouring the new Xuanhuang Qi like a gluttonous beast.

In an instant, the sword pellet, like vital energy, was stained with a dark yellow color.

Subsequently, the third eye between Li Boyang's eyebrows also reacted, beginning to absorb and digest the Xuanhuang Qi in a relatively gentle manner.

[Use the body as the furnace, the spirit as the catalyst, and the vital energy as the fuel...]

[It is formed by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and all things, and undergoing nine cycles to become the 'Golden Elixir'.]

The 'elixir' formed by that big black dog lacked the essence of all things; at best, it could only be called a 'primordial elixir'.
