Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 499 Basic Health Preservation Methods: The Possibility of Everyone Embarking on the Path of Cultivation

The Great Xia Dynasty was naturally aware of this problem and had been trying to find a way to enable everyone to embark on the path of cultivation.

Therefore, as early as the initial stage of the spiritual energy revival, many teams in the research institute were responsible for this task.

By replicating, analyzing, and even integrating various theories and methods of physical and mental cultivation from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, we can find a universal method that can stably and safely induce the "resonance" or "absorption" effect of spiritual energy within or around ordinary people.

Some teams focus on Taoist classics, delving into classics such as the Tao Te Ching, the Huang Ting Jing, and the Zhouyi Cantong Qi, and concentrating on the internal alchemy theory of "refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining spirit to return to emptiness".

A series of experiments, such as meditation and breathing exercises, were designed to observe subtle changes in the aura around the subjects under specific breathing rhythms and mental visualization.

To determine whether the human microcosm can resonate with the macrocosm of heaven and earth through a specific frequency, thereby "absorbing" the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Some teams focus on meditation methods from schools of Zen Buddhism, Tantra, and other similar traditions.

They studied the order of "precepts, concentration, and wisdom," especially the "dual practice of calming and insight," which involves using methods such as breath counting and visualization to calm a chaotic mind, achieving a state of extreme tranquility, and then generating the insightful wisdom to perceive the essence of things.

They believe that this state of mind may reduce the "shield" of consciousness from Reiki, or make it a special "guiding force" that influences Reiki itself.

Some teams focus on martial arts, breathing techniques, and health preservation methods, systematically sorting out internal and external martial arts such as Xingyi, Tai Chi, Bagua, and Bajiquan, and even striving to restore some lost guiding techniques.

The aim is to guide the flow of "Reiki" through specific, biomechanically sound physical movements, combined with breathing and intention.

This is to determine whether these optimized movement patterns, honed over thousands of years, can act like antennas to more effectively "guide" the surrounding spiritual energy and allow it to seep into the body to strengthen oneself.

However, many teams still use the meridian theory of "Traditional Chinese Medicine" combined with modern bioelectricity and cellular energy science to find the possible channels (meridians) for the flow of spiritual energy in the human body and the storage and transformation points (acupoints and internal organs).

At the same time, using genetic technology, we screen for genetic differences between people with special abilities and ordinary people, hoping to find "talent genes" related to spiritual affinity.

They attempted to research methods for absorbing "spiritual energy" within their familiar fields, even going so far as to use genetic methods to awaken supernatural abilities in those without talent, thereby granting them the ability to "cultivate."
However, since the resurgence of spiritual energy, no team has achieved any results.

In their view, "spiritual energy" is like energy from a higher dimension, and its connection with living beings is difficult to explain, with a seemingly insurmountable "barrier" existing between it and life forms.

Although researchers have indeed observed some patterns through countless experiments, comparisons, and data analysis, it is true that by coordinating specific movements with breathing, the spiritual energy around the subjects can produce more significant and orderly fluctuations than other random movements.

However, the effect was not good and was unstable, far from reaching the level of actively "absorbing", "refining" and transforming it into one's own power.

Ultimately, all the results presented are a set of "basic health preservation methods" in the Tian Shu Bureau's "information database" that have undergone certain scientific optimization and verification. These methods can subtly stimulate the body's spiritual energy, thereby strengthening the body, soothing the mind, and prolonging life.

They can cause certain "spiritual energy fluctuations" and even actively allow the human body to absorb "spiritual energy," but only a very small amount is absorbed.

For ordinary people who cannot awaken, consistent practice can help them live healthier and longer in the Reiki era. However, to embark on the path to the extraordinary and stand shoulder to shoulder with those who can sense, guide, and manipulate Reiki, there is still an invisible but real chasm between them.

The same applies to those with poor talent for cultivation.

While it can accelerate their cultivation to some extent, it is only a minor boost. For a slightly more talented superhuman, their affinity for spiritual energy means that the amount of spiritual energy passively absorbed by their body during the time they cultivate the "Health Preservation Method" far exceeds all the benefits brought by the method.

Why are the "treasures of the heavens" so precious?
Because "treasures of the heavens" can help someone who has not yet awakened supernatural abilities to have the talent for cultivation, and may even awaken supernatural abilities related to "treasures of the heavens" as a result.

Although the underlying principles are unknown, perhaps the rules of the other world have merged with those of humans in the real world, resulting in a certain degree of assimilation, transforming it from an "insulator" that cannot perceive spiritual energy into a "conductor" that can attract, contain, and utilize spiritual energy, or perhaps something else entirely.

But the underlying principles are not important; what matters is that the "treasures of the heavens" can grant people the ability to cultivate.

If “rule-created beings” originating from other worlds can do this, why can’t the real world?
The only possibility is that they haven't found a way.

Just as humans could not use aluminum before chemical elements were discovered and refined, they could not control electricity before the laws of electromagnetism were revealed.

Therefore, there must exist methods in the real world that allow everyone to cultivate, but they are far beyond human current understanding, which is why they have not found them.

The treasures of the heavens are "finished products," the "answers" that embody the rules of other worlds, while humans need to start from scratch without any reference answers.

Therefore, the statement "I just hope the official popularization of the techniques can be faster" sounds like a joke, but it actually carries the most sincere expectations of countless ordinary people.

They hoped for a miracle, for science or some unknown discovery that would allow them to break through the barriers of their talents, have the possibility of cultivation, and embrace this new world.

Chaoyang City Tianshu Bureau.

Li Shuyang and Zhou Ming sat around Fang Yuan, their faces filled with undisguised doubt and curiosity. They never expected that Fang Yuan could surpass Shen Mo and Lin Xiu on the "Superhuman Ranking" and rank seventh.

They were well aware of Fang Yuan's strength and had fought him more than once.

Whether it was the "Unstable Storm," the "Blue Silver Orca Demon's Sniper," or the "Azure Sluggish Divine Claw," they had experienced them more than once.

To be fair, even before Fang Yuan broke through to the fourth rank, his strength was still above theirs.

But it is precisely because of this understanding that I am even more confused.

"Unpredictable Storm" is indeed unsolvable. As long as it hits the opponent, no matter how strong the opponent is, they will be unable to move an inch within eight seconds. However, only "Unpredictable Storm" can be effective.

As for the rest, whether it's the "Blue Silver Orca Demon's Sniper" or the "Azure Sluggish Divine Claw," as long as one's mental and spiritual power is large enough, they can basically be ignored.

Even if these two abilities are combined, they might not be able to affect Li Shuyang and Zhou Ming for three seconds, let alone ten seconds.

If they are like this, then these abilities will have an even smaller impact on people like Gu Che, Lu Jing, and Lin Ruoxi.

Is one unpredictable event really enough?

"You don't need to look at me like that. The reason I was able to defeat Shen Mo and Lin Xiu was indeed because I benefited from the Trident of Poseidon and the Golden Thirteen Halberds."

Fang Yuan noticed the two men's undisguised gazes and said with some helplessness.

"The cultivation system of Douluo Continent itself is not considered advanced, but the status of 'divine artifacts' and 'divine rank' is real, at least in the world of Douluo Continent."

"Therefore, as the weapon of the sea god, the trident of Poseidon can exert a certain influence on the forces related to 'water,' or it can be said to compete with them for control of 'water.'"

"It was during my battle with Shen Mo that I discovered that the Trident of Poseidon could affect Hyōrinmaru's abilities."

This was something Fang Yuan hadn't anticipated.

After all, the "Trident of Poseidon" is only a divine artifact in the Douluo Continent. He could never have imagined that the "Trident of Poseidon" could affect weapons in other worlds, let alone the "Hyorinmaru".

He even felt that the Trident of Poseidon's influence in battle was not at its limit.

Perhaps due to the limitations of its "material", the Trident of Poseidon, although of high "rank", is not of high quality. In addition, Fang Yuan has not yet inherited the position of Poseidon, so he cannot fully exert its power.

If he can improve the quality of the "Tripikarp" in the future and also inherit the divine position of the "Sea God", then the influence on items and abilities related to "ocean" and "water" will be several times stronger.

"As for Lin Xiu, he mistakenly believed that the 'Unpredictable Storm' had to be transformed into different numbers of rings to track him and bind him in order to be considered a victim."

"But in reality, the essence of 'unpredictable storms' is just a manifestation of a skill, and its form of presentation is not static."

"When I used it on Lin Xiu, it was at the moment our swords and tridents clashed and collided. I conducted the 'Unpredictable Storm' along the point where the weapons intersected, like an electric current."

“At that moment, the ‘unpredictable storm’ directly affected his knife and then spread to his entire body.”

"And that's why he lost to me."

Fang Yuan didn't know how to evaluate this.

It can only be said that Lin Xiu may have been misled by the way Tang San used the "Unpredictable Storm" in the anime.

Although "Unstable Storms" is the first move of "Golden Trident", it does not belong to "Trident Technique" and cannot be considered a move. It is just an ability that requires the Golden Trident to activate.

Tang San likes to use it as a ring to lock down opponents from a distance, but that doesn't mean it can only be used from a distance.

Lin Xiu misjudged this point, which led to a collision with his trident while using his knife, resulting in him being hit.

However, "Unpredictable Storms" is not invincible; it is not a conceptual skill that can be used in any situation.

In fact, after the battle, he and Lin Xiu even tried it out. When he used "Unpredictable Storm" on Lin Xiu in the Great Light, Lin Xiu's dimensional strike was able to cut "Unpredictable Storm" in two.
