Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 241 Evergreen

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chao Fengying lay in her bedroom, bored out of her mind. She had sent many messages to her senior brother, but had not received a single reply.

She didn't take it seriously at first; it was normal for her senior brother to not reply to messages when he was busy.

It was already ten o'clock, and there was still no movement from the next room. Chao Fengying felt that something was wrong.

She thought for a moment and dialed her cell phone. She could hear the faint ringing of the phone next door, but no one answered.

This made Chao Fengying a little uneasy. She walked through the living room and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Chao Fengying couldn't hold back any longer and pushed open the door to enter the bedroom. The room was dark under the thick curtains. Gao Wu was lying quietly on the bed, breathing softly and slowly, as if he were in a deep sleep.

She sensed something was wrong; with her senior brother's abilities, even if he was sleeping soundly, he would be woken up by the sound of his phone.

However, my senior brother doesn't seem to have any problems. On the contrary, he seems to be engaged in some kind of mysterious practice, or perhaps entering a meditative state?

For some reason, Chao Fengying felt that her senior brother had a special fresh and vibrant energy, like the morning sunlight shining through the branches and leaves of trees, with the dew still wet on the leaves and grass, and the refreshing scent that permeated the forest at that time...

Her senior even looked so delicious that she had the urge to take a bite.

Chao Fengying rubbed her head and muttered to herself, "Don't let your gluttonous brain cause trouble!"

She didn't see anything wrong with Gao Wu; on the contrary, she felt that her senior brother was in very good condition.

She hesitated for a moment, not daring to move, yet also not daring to leave. So she sat on a chair to the side with her sword in hand, looking at Gao Wu with longing eyes, hoping that her senior brother would wake up soon.

After waiting for over an hour, Gao Wu still hadn't changed at all. Chao Fengying started to get anxious, and she picked up her phone to ask her teacher first.

She was still dialing when she saw Gao Wu slightly move and open his eyes.

Gao Wu's eyes were unusually bright and sparkling when he woke up, practically shining in the dim room.

When Chao Fengying was swept by Gao Wu's gaze, she felt a chill in her heart. Her senior brother in this state made her instinctively feel a sense of awe.

A thought suddenly popped into her mind: "Could my senior brother be possessed by something?"

Out of concern for her senior brother, she mustered her courage and tentatively called out in a low voice, "Senior brother?"

Gao Wu smiled at Chao Fengying: "I'm fine, I'm just a little more seriously injured, so I'm sleeping quite soundly."

He waved his hand and said, "I'm not wearing any clothes, you go out first."

Chao Fengying glanced at Gao Wu with suspicion. He was clearly wearing pajamas, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She picked up her sword and jumped away in two steps.

She quickly ran back and thoughtfully closed the door for Gao Wu.

As Gao Wu got out of bed, he casually pulled back the curtains, and the midday sun shone directly in, instantly illuminating the room.

Gao Wu stared at the blazing sun in the sky for a while. For the first time, he saw with his own eyes that the sun was a huge white sphere of light, with layers of colorful halos constantly flashing around its edges, and occasionally intense light would burst out from the edges.

The structure of the human eye is extremely sensitive to color, capable of distinguishing millions of colors. This also makes the human eye extremely fragile; direct exposure to strong light like the sun can cause blindness in less than three seconds, and permanent blindness in twenty seconds.

Even martial artists with powerful physical abilities find it difficult to alter the structure of their eyes. Only by circulating source energy can they effectively protect vulnerable organs such as the eyes.

Powerful martial artists, such as martial masters, can skillfully manipulate their source energy to mimic a transparent mirror, achieving effects such as blocking strong light, night vision, and distant viewing.

Of course, these secret techniques are very complex and require specialized training.

Gao Wu didn't have time to practice these techniques; his Yin Spirit was far superior to any other eye techniques.

Gao Wu stared directly at the sun for a full three minutes. He only felt a little glare, but he didn't feel very uncomfortable.

It was mainly thanks to his body's spontaneous adjustment and continuous adaptation to the external environment that he quickly adapted to the strong sunlight.

The body's passive and spontaneous adaptation to environmental changes is also the most important change brought about by this upgrade of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra.

According to the Book of Immeasurable Merit, the stage of entering sainthood means that the divine mantra has entered a transcendent realm and has acquired incredible power.

The reason why Gao Wu has been asleep for so long is because this transformation is very complicated.

He was unprepared for this, but fortunately the environment was relatively safe, and Chao Fengying was also quick-witted and wouldn't call for people randomly.

In the deepest state of meditation, Gao Wu had fully comprehended all the transformations of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra.

He even knew that the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra had penetrated deep into his body and spirit, transforming him from the inside out.

The supernatural powers of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra did not come out of thin air. They were generated through the transformation of countless merits, which in turn produced various wondrous changes and substantially transformed and strengthened his spirit and body.

Gao Wu could sense the countless tiny blue octagonal runes that covered his entire body without needing to use his Yin Spirit. These runes were only nanometers in size, but they had no real substance and were not source power. Instead, they were the wondrous runes manifested by the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse.

His entire body, inside and out, is connected by extremely fine cyan runes, forming a tight and complete structure, with the central structure located in the cyan eight-pointed star deep between his eyebrows.

At the center of the cyan octagonal star is a cyan dragon coiled in a ball.

As long as the blue eight-pointed star remains, his spirit and body will not die.

Gao Wu didn't know how to describe this cyan octagonal star. It was somewhat similar to the energy core condensed by a level seven martial artist, yet it was also vastly different.

Open the Book of Boundless Merit, and the changes brought about by the upgrade of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra are presented in the simplest and most direct way.

The most direct change is that physical fitness increases to 30 points and lifespan increases to 500 years.

For high-level martial arts practitioners, 30 points of Constitution translates to exceptional endurance, explosive power, and a high margin for error, while also raising the upper limit of other divine spells. For example, with all ten levels of the White Tiger Divine Weapon Spell, Agility can be increased to 30 points.

Even when facing Hong Liufeng at his peak, Gao Wu's full-force sword strike left the opponent with no chance to dodge.

However, this kind of extreme burst of power also consumes an enormous amount of energy. It can only be maintained for a maximum of ten seconds.

If he can't defeat the enemy in ten seconds, he'll be in danger.

Most level six experts possess extraordinary abilities, and even the most powerful divine spells cannot guarantee a victory. Moreover, there are many other experts above level six.

Gao Wu was still clearly aware of this, and he could not assume that he could easily kill powerful enemies of a higher level just because of the divine incantation.

If you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

You should focus on mastering martial arts. Only by reaching a high level in martial arts, combined with divine spells, can you have the power to dominate the world.

Gao Wu turned to the page of the Book of Immeasurable Merit, specifically the page on the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, and saw that it was clearly marked that the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra had reached the Sainthood realm.

There is also a special note below: Evergreen.

There are extensive articles that explain the concept of staying young and eternally youthful.

Being evergreen allows one's body and mind to remain in a vibrant and peak state, automatically adapting to various harsh environments, resisting various negative erosions and damages, and protecting the mind from external attacks, control, and destruction.

Gao Wu stared directly at the sun just now to verify his ability to remain young forever.

Gao Wu knew very well that there were no absolutely unchangeable rules in this world; all rules were relative.

The ability to remain evergreen is not a rule, but a supernatural power derived from the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra reaching the Saintly realm.

Once the power exceeds the limit of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, the supernatural power of eternal youth will naturally become useless.

The blue eight-pointed star between his eyebrows can be seen as a manifestation of eternal youth.

Gao Wu was already very satisfied with this; with his longevity, his drug resistance would reach a whole new level.

What kind of Dragon Potion is this? I can drink it like water!

His weakest point right now is his strength. He doesn't know when he will awaken the Xuanwu Divine Qi Mantra. It would be relatively easy to increase his strength through potions.

He may be broke, but surely a Sword Saint wouldn't be broke!
The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra at the Saintly Realm is extremely powerful, and Gao Wu pondered it for a long time in his room.

He could understand the various transformations of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation, but the actual changes brought about by the incantation had to be experienced firsthand.

In particular, the Swift Wind and Thunder Transformation has also been strengthened, which requires various tests.

Furthermore, the enhancement of source power by the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra also requires repeated testing.

Chao Fengying came to see Gao Wu, but seeing that he was engrossed in cultivation, she didn't dare to say anything and could only bring him lunch and dinner.

The next day, Gao Wu had figured things out, and then he took Chao Fengying out for a stroll.

Yueshui is also a large place. The Dongyuan River has abundant water resources and flows directly to the sea, making water transport very developed here, and the economy is naturally very prosperous.

This place also boasts a history of over a thousand years and unique customs and traditions.

Gao Wu wasn't sure if he would come again, so he took Chao Fengying on a leisurely tour. Zhu Hong, knowing Gao Wu wanted to sightsee, volunteered to accompany him.

With the help of locals, Gao Wu and his friends experienced many authentic customs, which broadened their horizons.

When it was time for dinner that evening, Gao Wu suddenly discovered that his merit points had increased by more than ten million, which puzzled him.

Upon logging onto Kuaiyin (a Chinese short video platform), I saw that the most popular local video was of him reprimanding several people who ran red lights.

The reason for the significant increase in merit is that the official announcement stated that the video depicted the killing of wicked and wicked followers of a demon god, while also serving as a warning to everyone to obey traffic regulations.

The official endorsement also brought a twist to the video.

The recent crackdown on the followers of the demon god has caused many incidents, resulting in the deaths of many ordinary people.

There was great resentment among the people, and the video of killing the demon god's followers made everyone feel relieved, which resulted in a lot of merit.

Gao Wu had an idea: he had quite a few videos of himself killing the followers of the demon god. If he released them, he wondered how much merit he could accumulate.

However, this kind of thing is very troublesome. Crossing the river requires perfect timing and location, and this situation is very difficult to replicate…

On the third day, Gao Wu took Chao Fengying back to Qiancao City on Dongwei Island by plane.

Hai Wuji has been staying on Dongwei Island mainly because there are too many believers of the demon god there, and the official forces are too weak. If he is not careful, something terrible could happen.

With him here, he can prevent bad people from stirring up trouble.

Hai Wuji was quite pleased to see his two disciples return. He praised them, saying, "You've both made great progress this time! Especially in advanced martial arts..."

Hai Wuji could see that Gao Wu had condensed two more acupoints and was in excellent physical condition. He was about to praise him when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He looked Gao Wu up and down, a look of hesitation on his face: "What's going on with you?"
