destiny eternal calamity

I wrote something confusingly yesterday. See Xiaohe's post; the protagonist should be wearing a mask. I've already corrected it.

-----------------

Li Wei knew very well that those who could cultivate true qi using this basic technique were geniuses among geniuses.

Moreover, due to the lack of the Qi Sea Realm's techniques for expanding the dantian and compressing true qi, human cultivators at this stage had very little true qi.

This is a very critical problem.

Before reaching the Heavenly Fate Realm, insufficient total amount of true qi is not a major problem for cultivators.

The spiritual sense developed in the Spirit Bridge Realm is based on the strength of the physical body; the spiritual energy that tempers the internal organs in the Divine Treasury Realm also relies on the power of heaven and earth and the power of blood and qi.

As for the Dharma Aspect Realm, it has absolutely nothing to do with true qi; its main advancement comes from controlling the primordial energy of heaven and earth with divine sense.

In these stages of cultivation, true qi seems to only affect how many offensive martial arts techniques a cultivator can use.

But once they break through the Heavenly Mandate, cultivators will find that the amount of true qi has become a threshold that must be crossed.

To perform a standard third-tier martial skill requires one unit of true qi, while a fourth-tier skill requires ten units, and so on. A seventh-tier martial skill at the Heavenly Fate Realm requires ten thousand units of true qi to perform.

Although there are also strange techniques like the Heavenly Demon Chaos and the Myriad Transformations that don't rely much on true qi, these are mostly not offensive techniques.

The Heavenly Demon Chaos uses its powerful divine sense to disrupt the opponent's mind; the Myriad Transformations Without Form relies on the combined effect of divine sense, blood and qi to produce illusionary forms.

They are all techniques involving transformation and disruption.

However, to truly generate destructive power, one cannot do without true qi.

The demand for true qi in advanced martial arts techniques increases far faster than the growth rate of a cultivator's true qi.

Li Wei's true qi is more than thirty times that of an ordinary cultivator, yet it is only a little over five thousand units now.

Even if he completes the fifth-tier internal energy cultivation he hasn't yet mastered, at the early stage of the Divine Treasury realm, he would only have about eight thousand units of true qi, which wouldn't be enough to unleash a seventh-tier offensive martial skill.

An ordinary early-stage Divine Treasury cultivator only needs about two or three hundred units of true qi.

A cultivator in the early stages of the Dharma Aspect realm typically possesses only a little over a thousand units of true qi, barely enough to unleash a sixth-tier offensive martial skill.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Fate Realm, many newly promoted cultivators only possess four or five thousand units of true qi, and some even fail to unleash seventh-tier offensive martial arts techniques in the later stages of the Heavenly Fate Realm.

The attacker in the capital who was able to unleash a Great Sun Tathagata Palm strike was already considered one of the best among the Heavenly Fate cultivators.

If cultivators who normally open their dantian nine thousand years later are in such a state, then cultivators in this era are even more so.

To break through the Void Realm, a minimum of 10,000 units of true qi is a mandatory requirement.

Only offensive martial arts techniques of the seventh rank or higher can shatter the void, allowing the user to perceive the aura of the void.

After reading this basic cultivation technique, Li Wei understood why no human cultivator in this era could break through to the Void Realm.

It's not that they lack talent, it's just that their foundation isn't solid enough, and their internal energy doesn't meet the minimum standard.

Thinking about this, Li Wei had a sudden realization.

His main mission this time should be to help the human race improve their cultivation methods.

Since the Queen Mother of the West discovered that he had mastered the "Return to Nothingness" technique, she should have already guessed that he came from the future.

He wouldn't have come to Kunlun this time if it weren't for the mirage protecting him.

I really don't want to think about what would happen if the Queen Mother of the West discovered that he actually came from another world, just like Xie Youshan did.

The Black Water Serpents under the command of this Queen Mother of the West are all at the level of Demon Kings, and Kunlun dares to go against the Immortal Realm, so her strength is self-evident.

Even if the system says he won't actually die, it's really hard to say whether he'll be kept alive by the Queen Mother of the West and dissected for research.

For such a powerful being, time travel should not be an unacceptable phenomenon.

After all, the other party had said last time that he was a man of destiny and had even given him the "Yangzhou Cauldron Manual".

It is clear that they have accepted the existence of Li Wei, this person from the future.

However, it is still somewhat inappropriate to directly teach cultivation methods to humans.

From Li Wei's perspective, the Queen Mother of the West's instruction of martial arts to humans was likely intended to establish her prestige among them.

By bypassing the Queen Mother of the West to spread the teachings, I wonder if I might offend her.

It should be known that the Queen Mother of the West clearly possessed the method to obtain the Nine Cauldrons.

Although it is not necessary to break through the Heavenly Dao's blockade for the time being using the "Nine Cauldrons Technique," one will still need the Heavenly Dao's approval to break through the Heavenly Mandate and Eternal Tribulation realms in the future.

Therefore, it seems that pushing the Nine Cauldrons Technique to the ninth level has become his main task...

If each advancement in the Nine Cauldrons Technique requires one Nine Cauldrons True Technique, then he needs to obtain at least five more Nine Cauldrons True Techniques.

In this case, cooperating with the Queen Mother of the West, who possesses the true secrets of the Nine Cauldrons, has become inevitable.

Sigh, if only I could live off the Queen Mother of the West... Li Wei couldn't help but let his mind wander.

But when Li Wei thought of the other party's aloofness, which was no less than that of Yaoyue, he gave up the idea.

Inviting the Moon has sect missions, but the Queen Mother of the West does not.

After much deliberation, Li Wei decided to give himself an identity.

Since the Queen Mother of the West had already given him special treatment, he simply boasted that he was her personal disciple and had studied her latest cultivation method, which should help him gain favor with her reputation when she passed on the teachings.

As for whether the other party will deny or even sanction his reckless remarks?

Li Wei thought it wouldn't happen.

Because the teachings he imparted were indeed very effective, the prestige he brought to the Queen Mother of the West was genuine.

Moreover, he wasn't bragging about being her Daoist partner, adopted son, or any other close person; he was merely her direct disciple.

However, before implementing this plan, Li Wei had to find out whether the Queen Mother of the West had any true disciples.

Otherwise, why wouldn't it be passed on to other direct disciples, but only to him?

Actually, all these troubles stem from the other person not showing up to see him; otherwise, he could just tell her directly.

Clearly, the Queen Mother of the West wanted to see what made Li Wei, this chosen one, different.

Left with no other choice, Li Wei had to resort to this desperate measure.

You don't want to see yourself, huh? Here's a personal disciple for you.

Jin Yuan previously mentioned that the newcomers would receive instruction together in a few days, which would be the time for him to demonstrate his abilities in front of others.

Having decided on his next steps, Li Wei put down his basic martial arts techniques, put on the tree bark mask, and went outside.

We need to find out about the Queen Mother of the West's interpersonal relationships.

Otherwise, it's easy for someone to expose you.

These twelve towers of Kunlun, apart from the largest Kunlun Palace and the tallest Langfeng Tower, have no specific names.

It does have nicknames, such as the Martial Arts Hall, the Scripture Repository, and the Sword Pavilion, but there are no plaques.

These were names chosen by the disciples themselves, so Li Wei was naturally unaware of them.

Since the other ten jade towers were arranged around Kunlun Palace, Li Wei simply used Kunlun Palace as the starting point and named them things like "Left First Tower" and "Right Fifth Tower".

After leaving Kunlun Palace, Li Wei walked to the second floor on the left.

Xiaohe had previously told him that this was a place for humans to eat.

To put it simply, it's a cafeteria.

As for the demons on Kunlun Mountain, they have mostly abstained from grains, including Xiaohe.

No wonder they look down on humans.
