Cube-like Supernatural Powers: Longevity Begins with Qi Refining

Chapter 114 Heavenly Thunder Disaster

In Chenming Mountain's courtyard, Xiong Zhou opened a can of chilled orange juice for himself, a smile on his face.

I've had an epiphany!

In the "artificial enlightenment", an enlightenment actually occurred, and it lasted for more than 2,400 years!

"Hey, that's me for sure, I'm really good."

"He attained enlightenment over 2,400 years ago... and even comprehended a supernatural power..."

"This achievement, even among the Tai Li True Disciples at the third level of Qi Refining, would be something to brag about for a while."

Xiong Zhou flipped his palm, channeling ten abundant magical powers to condense a semi-transparent lotus flower that slowly bloomed, exuding a sense of timelessness.

[Supernatural Power: Flowers Bloom in an Instant (Tian Gang)]

1. To enable flowers to bloom or wither instantly, and even to allow all plants to grow rapidly and wither instantly. (Mom, Li Mengqin)

2. A flower is a world, a thought is a cycle of flourishing and decay — Dad (Xiong Yuanmo)

Completeness: 100% (derived from bloodline inheritance)

Note 1: One of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers. Note 2: The cycle of moment and eternity, the cycle of movement and stillness.

"The bloodline inheritance, my parents' understanding of the laws and principles of heaven and earth is truly top-notch. This guidance has saved me at least tens of thousands of years of hard work in meditation."

Xiong Zhou glanced at the information panel and sighed softly to himself.

Immediately, he placed the translucent lotus flower directly into the first Heavenly Gate of the Inner Realm.

"Squeak..."

'

The sound of the Heavenly Gate fully opening slowly vibrated through my consciousness. A special power surged forth from within, bringing with it a huge amount of life essence and boundless creative energy.

[Cultivation Realm: Qi Refining Level 3 - Herb Gathering Current Progress: (2/108)]

Inner Heavenly Gate: (0/10) - Magic Power

In an instant, Xiong Zhou's lifespan limit increased from 10,000 years to 20,000 years, effectively doubling.

The third stage of Qi Refining is called "Gathering Medicine," which means "gathering the great medicine of the human body to create the opportunity for longevity."

The Inner Heavenly Gate is the most important cultivation goal during the three stages of Qi Refining.

It is related to lifespan. Each time one is fully opened, it adds 10,000 years to one's lifespan, making it a great elixir for prolonging life.

It relates to how much potential one can unlock; each time one fully unlocks a stage, one's cultivation potential increases by one point.

In theory, at the third level of Qi Refining, one can open an infinite number of Heavenly Gates, thereby directly achieving endless lifespan and unlimited enhancement of cultivation potential.

However, in reality, it is basically impossible to open the Inner Heavenly Gate indefinitely.

To open the inner heavenly gate, you must first have a heavenly gate.

To construct the Heavenly Gate, one needs sufficient understanding of the laws and principles of heaven and earth.

For those who practice the "Tai Li Refining Qi Method":

【Lv.3】"Great Completion", in theory, up to 24 Heavenly Gates can be constructed.

【Lv.4】"Microscopic", theoretically, up to 36 Heavenly Gates can be constructed.

【Lv.5】"Xingdao", theoretically, a maximum of 72 heavenly gates can be built.

【Lv.6】"Evolution Method", in theory, can construct up to 108 Heavenly Gates. Completely opening all 108 Heavenly Gates can be called "Refining Qi Around the Heavens".

However, in reality, achieving this "theory" is extremely difficult.

When Bai Yi first advanced to the third level of Qi Refining, he had only constructed 12 Inner Landscape Heavenly Gates. Relying on his initial understanding of the principles of the Dharma at [Lv.4], he was only able to open one Inner Landscape Heavenly Gate, which was not yet fully opened.

When Xiong Zhou was at the second level of Qi Refining, he relied on the "perfect" cultivation level of the "Derivation Method" (Lv.6), the Daoist sound of the Qi Refining Immortal preaching, and "artificial enlightenment" to construct 108 Heavenly Gates and enter the Inner Realm.

Secondly, there are also strict conditions for opening the Heavenly Gate.

That is supernatural power.

One supernatural power can only open one inner heavenly gate to harvest the corresponding human medicine.

To fully open an inner heavenly gate and harvest all the corresponding elixirs, one's supernatural powers must be strong enough, and the principles and laws of heaven and earth contained within must also be powerful enough.

Therefore, to open all 108 Heavenly Gates, one would need to cultivate 108 different supernatural powers to completely utilize all 108 Heavenly Gates.

To obtain the great medicine within the human body, one must cultivate 108 powerful supernatural abilities.

This level and this quantity of supernatural powers are simply beyond the reach of ordinary immortal beings.

Even most of the inner disciples of the Tai Li Immortal Sect cannot cultivate it.

It's not just because they lack the corresponding talent and aptitude, but also because they lack the corresponding resources for cultivation.

The cultivation of each supernatural power is not easy, and is even extremely difficult. Otherwise, there would be many Tai Li disciples who remain at this level and have never tried to advance.

"However, this situation will change drastically once the Celestial Realm opens."

"During this period, countless Tai Li disciples at the second level of Qi Refining, like myself, have attempted to advance to the third level of Qi Refining."

"Even some inner disciples at the second level of Qi Refining, and even some outer disciples, will seize this opportunity to try to advance to the third level of Qi Refining, going all out and risking everything."

Xiong Zhou now understands why Senior Brother Wan Shanqing specially set up a "Wood Dao Dharma Assembly" to "invite" true disciples at the third level of Qi Refining to discuss the Dao and form factions.

The competition is just too fierce.

Ordinary disciples at the third level of Qi Refining are not afraid of inner disciples at the third level of Qi Refining, and can basically be ignored by outer disciples.

But as the old saying goes, "Too many ants can kill an elephant."

With a large number of inner disciples at the third level of Qi Refining, if they suddenly form a battle formation, ordinary true disciples would still fight one-on-one. But if it were any true disciple at the third level of Qi Refining, they would all be in trouble.

If it were Xiong Zhou, Xiong Zhou would also be numb.

"Boom..."

'

A thunderous flash streaked across the sky above Chenming Mountain, and vast thunderclouds gathered. A feeling of being locked on gradually appeared in Xiong Zhou's heart.

"The time has come; the Heavenly Thunder Calamity is imminent."

He muttered a few words, reached out and scooped up the morning light that was still wandering in the courtyard, looking at Xiong Zhou with curiosity, and threw it straight into the large lake below the mountain.

"You can't look at this."

Immediately afterwards, all sorts of artifacts left by his mother, specifically designed to ward off heavenly lightning disasters, and even forbidden artifacts that could be used to refine Qi to the sixth level at once, were placed in the most convenient positions.

Although the first three calamities, as described in the various records of the Tai Li Immortal Sect, were very easy and simple.

Yes, being prepared is a good habit.

Suddenly, the thunderclouds in the sky lowered abruptly, and the calamity energy surrounding Xiong Zhou surged wildly, like a clear marker.

The object shimmered with dazzling light, making the entire world focus on it.

"boom!"

Three thousand bolts of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky.

Each bolt of lightning possessed the power of a being at the first level of the Immortal Realm, almost a full-force strike, its immense power engulfing the courtyard atop Chenming Mountain.
