destiny eternal calamity

Li Wei took the two books that Zhong Kui Yaohua threw to him.

One book, "The Great Miro Step," and another, "The Yin-Yang Reverse Sword."

It's clear that they are movement techniques and sword techniques, both of which are Divine Realm cultivation methods.

Li Wei wanted to impress Zhong Kui Yaohua, just as he had shocked Xiao Shuying before, and shock this cheap mother of his.

He then opened the two manuals and began to read them.

Zhong Kui Yao Hua had previously heard Zhong Kui Ying mention how extraordinary Li Wei's comprehension was, how he learned the "Internal Organs Preserving Spirit Method" in half an hour, and how he mastered the "All Laws Returning to the Void Force" in a few months.

However, she didn't see it with her own eyes.

Although the entire Kunlun region was within her divine consciousness, she wasn't so bored as to spy on others every day.

It took Li Wei half an hour to finish flipping through the two cultivation manuals.

Although it could be faster, he felt it was better not to be too inhumane.

Let's go with the speed we showed in front of Zhong Kuiying back then.

[Ding! 'Great Miro Step' has been recorded. Do you wish to spend 16000 recharge points to add it to the database?]

"yes!"

[Ding! 'Yin Yang Reverse Sword' has been recorded. Do you wish to spend 16000 recharge points to add it to the database?]

"yes!"

Li Wei spent 22400 recharge points (at a 30% discount) to collect both fifth-tier cultivation techniques.

This is not the end.

He then spent another 2240 recharge points to level up both of these skills to the beginner level.

Then they practiced it in front of Zhong Kui Yaohua.

The special effect of the Great Miro Step movement technique is that the user's speed will increase as they are not hit.

It has to be said that it is quite amazing, somewhat like a weakened version of a supernatural power.

It's great for traveling or escaping.

Although the consumption of true energy will increase over time, Li Wei has enough true energy to eliminate the Eight Steps of Looking at the Clouds.

The room upstairs in Langfeng Tower was very cramped, so Li Wei couldn't use the Great Mi Luo Step at full power, but he could still manage to take a couple of steps by circulating his true energy.

With Zhong Kui Yaohua's discerning eye, it's no surprise that Li Wei has already mastered the basics.

"What a talent!" Zhong Kui Yaohua thought to herself, but remained outwardly calm.

Afterwards, Li Wei used his fingers as a sword to practice the Yin-Yang Reverse Sword Technique.

This sword technique is even more obscure than the "Internal Organs Preservation of Spirit Technique".

Fortunately, the system was unreasonable, and after carefully experiencing the insights transmitted by the system, Li Wei was still able to successfully unleash them.

Zhong Kui Yaohua could no longer keep up the act this time.

She specifically chose that Great Miro Step because she knew Li Wei had some weaknesses in movement techniques; it wasn't anything special.

But this "Yin-Yang Reverse Sword" is no simple matter.

The prototype of this sword technique was a supreme sword technique that she comprehended in order to break the supernatural power of an enemy.

It took her a full century to perfect this sword technique.

Then, at the crucial moment of the battle, he used it and killed his enemy with a single move.

It was one of her proudest works.

This "Yin Yang Reverse Sword" looks like a Divine Realm technique, but it was actually simplified from that Supreme Realm sword technique of the same name, which she spent half a month developing.

The purpose was to give Li Wei a warning.

To prevent him from becoming arrogant because he thinks he's the chosen one.

Although she omitted the parts of the original "Yin Yang Reverse Sword" that required anti-concept authority and void construction, and reduced the consumption of true energy by ten thousand times, it can only be considered a toy compared to the original.

However, she did not lower her requirements for sword intent.

In other words, if Li Wei were at the Supreme Realm and possessed the authority over the two opposing concepts, he could probably learn the original "Yin Yang Reverse Sword" in half an hour.

Li Wei watched as the sword energy he unleashed with his sword fingers flew out of Langfeng Tower and disappeared into the distant sky, realizing that he finally possessed a proper ranged attack method.

The flying sword technique he used to love had a limited capacity to carry true energy, so the destructive power it could cause was still too small.

In contrast, this Yin-Yang Reverse Sword uses the clash of Xuan Yin and Pure Yang true qi to unleash sword qi, and the amount of true qi it can unleash starts at one hundred units, with no upper limit.

As long as the sword can withstand the damage, its power can continue to increase.

However, Li Wei felt that the flaw of this technique requiring a carrier was too obvious, and there should be an improved version.

Moreover, although the true energies of water and fire are in conflict, they are not extreme enough.

Perhaps if it were replaced with a more relative energy source, the power of this sword technique could be increased.

For example, the Nine Cauldrons True Qi and Demonic Qi...

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Li Wei looked at Zhong Kui Yao Hua in front of him.

The other person's expression was no longer calm and collected.

That languid demeanor has also disappeared.

Seeing that Li Wei had stopped practicing, Zhong Kui Yaohua stood up and walked up to him.

"I now believe you can conquer the Celestial Realm."

Her eyes shone, and her jade-like hands caressed Li Wei's body.

Her reaction was the same as Xiao Shuying's when she was first shocked by Li Wei.

However, even with her incredibly powerful divine sense, she could only discover that Li Wei's physical body was ridiculously strong and his true energy was terrifyingly large.

That's it.

After all, Li Wei's mind was not only protected by Xie Youshan's mirage, but also by the system, which had a certain concealing effect.

For the first time, Zhong Kui Yaohua began to waver in her belief that she could control the chosen one before her.

She had always felt that she had simply lost because of fate, or in short, luck.

But at this moment she discovered,

She seems to have greatly underestimated the Chosen One.

There was a reason why destiny chose Livy, and Livy did not obey destiny like that madman.

If an ordinary person were to receive a divine mandate, they would probably be overjoyed.

But Li Wei made it very clear to her that he was unwilling to be inferior to anyone and wanted to trample the Immortal Emperor under his feet.

Zhong Kui Yaohua's eyes shifted, but in the end, based on her status, strength, and experience, she placed herself back in the position of the superior.

Who can say that the Celestial Emperor didn't struggle when he inherited the Mandate of Heaven?

Perhaps he resisted fate, but in the end he succumbed and became a lonely figure.

Li Wei is very sharp and energetic now, but when he actually reaches that point, he may not be able to stick to his principles.

He's still just a little kid; we need to keep observing him.

Zhong Kui Yaohua convinced herself in this way.

"Your talent is exceptional, but your experience is still limited. Remember to always guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

Her expression turned aloof again. She dismissed Li Wei and stayed alone at Langfeng Tower to enjoy the breeze.

Li Wei got what he wanted, including a ranged attack technique, so he was naturally very satisfied.

After leaving Langfeng Tower, he went straight to Yanwu Tower to give lectures to the students who were practicing the new method.

I checked the system panel on the way and saw that I only had 11560 recharge points left.

There was still enough to include a fifth-tier cultivation technique, so he decided to keep it for now, just in case.

He also wanted to see how good his martial arts aptitude was after being instilled with so many martial arts insights by the system, and what level he could reach by learning these two techniques on his own within six months.

Three months later, Li Wei felt that the side effects of burning away a hundred years of his lifespan in the battle with Ji Yuanhong were gradually becoming apparent.

At that time, only the ends of his hair turned gray, and under the cleansing effect of his powerful blood and energy, his hair color quickly returned to normal.

His appearance has hardly changed.

He only told Zhong Kui Yaohua about this at the time, because he was afraid that Xie Youshan would worry, so he didn't tell her.

As a Celestial Venerable, Xie Youshan could naturally sense that her lover's life force was somewhat depleted, but she didn't think too much about it at the time, only assuming that Li Wei had indulged in some time with a human beauty while on a business trip to the Xuanyuan tribe.

For the past six months, the two have only engaged in intimate interactions as a couple, without taking that step further.

Xie Youshan knew that Li Wei hadn't touched her because he felt sorry for her being alone after her loss of health.

Knowing that her craftsmanship couldn't completely relieve Li Wei's stress, she felt guilty and didn't hold his "misbehavior" outside against him.

However, as time went by, Li Wei's appearance quickly matured from that of a boy.

Wearing a mask outside is fine, but once back in Kunlun Palace, when he takes off the mask and reveals his true face, Xie Youshan gradually notices something is wrong.

"Honey, you've gone from a young heartthrob to a middle-aged man in just a few months!"

At night, she said, twisting Li Wei's dough.

"Was it because some vixen drained its life force?"

She initially thought Li Wei had only lost some of his yang energy, but now it seems he has shortened his lifespan. What exactly happened to him?

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Li Wei had no choice but to tell the story of how Ranming and Ji Yuanhong fought back then.

"Damn it, that woman, the Queen Mother of the West, actually sent you to do such a dangerous thing!"

Xie Youshan gritted her teeth and said.

She had thought that Li Wei was losing his life force on a woman's belly, but she never expected that the truth was like this.

This Queen Mother of the West really doesn't know how to handle things properly.

"Don't worry, Shanshan. I'm in a 'quantum projection state' right now, so these damages are temporary."

"Well, in the words of Blue Star, I've been affected by a negative effect in this world. Once I finish this projection, these negative effects will disappear."

"It won't affect my lifespan in the other world, and the next projection won't have these negative effects, so don't worry."

Xie Youshan was, after all, half a human from Earth, so understanding these words wasn't too difficult for her. Seeing Li Wei's nonchalant expression, she had no choice but to believe what he said.

"Does that mean, honey, your 'uncle' look is a limited edition?"

Xie Youshan felt as if she had discovered a new continent, and her emotions changed from worry to excitement.

Li Wei was surprised by her reaction and couldn't help but facepalm in disbelief.

However, what the other party said was not wrong. With the speed of his martial arts progress, he would probably soon advance to the Eternal Tribulation stage, at which point his appearance would be completely solidified.

This is also why many female cultivators at the Void Realm would rather live decades less to advance to the Eternal Tribulation Realm before the age of one hundred.

In later generations, the lifespan of those at the Void Realm is only three Jiazi (60 years). This world does not have elixirs like the Youth Preservation Pill. No matter how well one takes care of themselves, once they exceed half of their total lifespan, the aging of their appearance is irreversible and extremely rapid.

Grandma Xiao, as a cultivator with a destiny, could live to be 150 years old. Now she is only a little over 100, but you can already tell that she is an old woman.

"From this perspective, Aunt Yaoyue is probably not a hundred years old yet."

Li Wei's thoughts wandered somewhat.

After advancing to the Eternal Awakening stage, the vitality of the physical body never declines, and the appearance is naturally locked in.

But what has already aged cannot be undone.

Women in the mortal realm generally live longer than men, but this is the opposite among cultivators at the Eternal Tribulation Realm.

Most male cultivators wait until they are close to the end of the Jiazi cycle before breaking through to the Eternal Tribulation, so male Eternal Tribulation cultivators all look old and frail.

Female nuns, on the other hand, mostly value beauty more than life itself, and are willing to sacrifice eighty years of their lives to maintain their beauty.

However, the number of female Eternal Tribulation cultivators is no less than that of males.

Because the physical activity of the Void Realm is not locked like that of the Eternal Tribulation Realm, the blood and physical strength will definitely decline after a hundred years, and the decline will be more severe as one ages.

This results in a lower success rate for Void Realm cultivators who are older when they attempt to transcend tribulations.

Therefore, some Void Realm cultivators choose to break through when they are in their prime, even if it's not for the sake of their appearance.

As for Li Wei, he already knew about the scenery beyond Eternal Calamity through Zhong Kui Yao Hua and Xie You Shan, so naturally he wouldn't stop there.

Break through the tribulation as soon as possible.

He will not face another tribulation for another sixty years after his tribulation. In that time, he could probably even take on the Heavenly Court.

After playing around with Xie Youshan for a while, Li Wei finally embraced her, lay down on the bed, and calmly sorted out his cultivation insights.

During these three months, he felt that he had touched the threshold of the later stage of the Divine Treasure.

What's lacking isn't the progress of physical or internal organ tempering, but rather the strength of spiritual consciousness.

The stronger the physical body, the more powerful the divine sense is needed to control it.

Only when the two are matched can they be perfectly integrated.

Li Wei's divine sense was very powerful, allowing him to sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth in advance.

But compared to his monstrous physical body, it is still not strong enough.

Even after taking the "Spirit Nourishing Pill" given to him by Zhong Kuiying, the growth rate of his spiritual consciousness still could not keep up with the tempering rate of his physical body.

It seems that after returning to the future, I will need to have a good discussion with Aunt Yaoyue about shortcuts to increasing spiritual awareness.

Thinking of Zhong Kuiying, Li Wei suddenly realized that he hadn't seen her in a long time.

Even though this younger sister lives right upstairs from me, she hasn't come out of the Kunlun Palace exit for the past few months.

It's obvious she's deliberately avoiding him.

He was the same.

"I prefer someone like Shanshan, whose happiness is stable and easy to hold onto."

Li Wei clenched his fist with his right hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"What can you hold onto?" Xie Youshan asked, still a little confused.

"It's my future with Shanshan," Li Wei said with a laugh.

……

Two and a half months later, the snow on Kunlun Mountain had stopped.

Soon, Li Wei will be leaving this era.

In the past six months, he has mastered the "Great Miro Step" and the "Yin Yang Reverse Sword".

This is definitely not slow, because he can be sure that the difficulty of the "Yin Yang Reverse Sword" is somewhat heaven-defying.

He spent most of his time practicing this ranged attack technique.

He also had to dedicate a lot of time to lecturing to the human students in Kunlun and teaching them new methods.

Moreover, while most cultivators practice their skills or contemplate cultivation issues at night, he spent his time with Xie Youshan.

After all, with this separation, Xie Youshan might have to endure loneliness for another thousand years.

Even so, he still managed to master both techniques within six months.

Generally, it takes a cultivator with divine treasures years to cultivate a fifth-order technique to the point of mastery.

It can only be said that after being fed martial arts insights by the system in a cramming manner, his martial arts skills are beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

The method of establishing the foundation in the three realms has been thoroughly promoted in Kunlun.

Even those instructors who initially questioned him are now quietly using the new method to examine and improve their martial arts foundation.

His defeated opponent, Li Yuan, even created a Body Tempering Technique to compensate for the shortcomings of the techniques taught by Li Wei.

It can only be said that these human prodigies are indeed exceptional; they were simply held back by the old methods in the past.

I believe that soon, a wave of new methods will sweep across Kunlun.

The path of martial arts for the human race is now bright.

His journey through time and space gradually came to an end.
