Mythology Returns! Starting with Folklore and Strange Tales

But as much as he admired, he wouldn't be rude and ask for it if others didn't ask him.

He's honest and smart, but sometimes he can't control his emotions.

But Zhang Wei didn't think it was a big deal. After all, if someone tried to stop him from reviving Old Zhang and told him some nonsense about how the person was already gone and there was no need to dwell on it, that would be a big deal.

He wouldn't mind letting the other party experience Ya Zifa's rage!

As the Yazi spell was cast, the surrounding wisps of malevolent energy were connected and gathered, and a faint chill stirred in the mountain forest in the dead of night.

The slightly fishy smell that wafted into his nostrils made Zhang Wei's eyes light up: "We've got work!"

We've got a job!

The simple four words were like the sound of war drums on an ancient battlefield. An Yixi, who was already poised to go, took off the bundle behind him without saying a word. With a tug and a drape, a huge blue "bed sheet" was put on his body. Then, with a twist and a tie, a gorgeous retro robe appeared on his body.

At the same time, as he moved his hands, he tucked all sorts of odds and ends—knives, spears, halberds, torches, wine gourds, and other trinkets—into his collar and sleeves.

It may sound like a long time, but in reality, it only took him a minute to put on his full gear. The mask that he had been holding in his arms was now in his hand. All the necessary conditions for performing Nuo magic were prepared in these short few dozen seconds.

But... just as he was preparing, the malevolent aura that had been gathering around him like wisps of morning mist, bringing a faint cool breeze, began to intensify and become more violent at a visible speed.

With a whoosh, the wind whistled.

An Yixi saw a large amount of red mist peel off from Zhang Wei's body, turning into clouds. A stream-like force enveloped his entire body, and the next moment, his body gradually left the ground, then with a whoosh, he shot straight into the sky.

They both received the genius clause, both had just passed their first silhouette, and were even traveling together.

While I'm still warming up and preparing, others are already showing off their cool costumes and flying through the clouds.

This made An Yixi, who had recently declared that she would kill all the harmful demons and monsters, blush a little.

Given his personality, he wouldn't be jealous, but as a young man, especially after his self-confidence has been rebuilt, he doesn't feel inferior to others and will only be determined to catch up!

In the ten or so seconds that he wasted thinking, Zhang Wei, who was using the killing energy as a power source and riding the [Feng Xu Yu Feng] to step into the sky, had his robes fluttering in the wind blowing from all directions!

Using malevolent energy as the medium for "Riding the Wind in the Void" has its downsides, besides its somewhat sinister color. The high altitude is already cold and windy, and the airflow generated by the swirling malevolent energy further amplifies the original wind speed. The biting cold wind is enough to plunge a normal person into hypothermia in a short period of time.

It is completely unlike other sources of spiritual essence, which are as gentle as the essence of Qi.

Similarly, the faster Zhang Wei wanted to fly, the higher the wind speed became.

If he really wanted to reach the speed of traveling the sea in the morning and the phoenix tree in the evening, not to mention whether the evil energy he has gathered now is enough, just the speed alone would be enough to blow his bones and flesh apart and his soul scattered when he collided with the gale!

Of course, for Zhang Wei, who has just begun learning to fly, everything is just right right now.

The simple concepts of hot and cold no longer affected him before he even crossed the threshold of the Innate Realm, let alone the fact that Zhang Wei had crossed two thresholds in succession during this cultivation.

Take, for example, the new cultivation system launched by meteorology and multiple parties, which will be implemented throughout the secular world.

The initial three stages of cultivation are to find one's own innate spirit, open the dantian or qi sea, and absorb qi through breathing and daily food and medicine.

During this process, a person's physical fitness will enter a period of rapid improvement.

Although special energies such as spiritual power and magical power have not yet been generated at this stage, the practitioners, with their vigorous blood and energy and gradually strengthening spirit, are already able to use some slightly depleting spells to enhance their various abilities. At this stage, the advantages of unorthodox and heretical practitioners become more apparent!

The extent to which one's spiritual attainment improves depends on individual aptitude, resources, and cultivation methods; the definition of a perfect attainment also varies.

However, the lowest limit of spiritual attainment is also the upper limit that the human species can reach under extreme training.

Upon reaching the innate stage, the Qi mechanism within the Qi Sea begins to penetrate more deeply into the flesh and blood body. While eliminating the impurities and diseases accumulated over many years of life, it also begins to transform the body back to its prenatal form.

It's not that you're born young and can turn into a baby.

The innate realm mainly involves modifying a person's physique, reshaping bones, flesh, meridians, and so on, allowing a person to absorb nutrients directly from the outside (heaven and earth) to accelerate growth, just like an infant in the womb.

During this process of change, the Qi mechanism in the Qi Sea will also begin to undergo initial transformation, allowing practitioners to learn various techniques and skills other than bestowing blessings without harming themselves, thus demonstrating extraordinary abilities!

Enlightenment is more like an advancement from the first two stages.

Open your mind, open your mind, open all the orifices of the human body, forge the bones and blood of immortals and gods, and build the path to heaven.

This realm not only makes up for people's innate deficiencies and strengthens the talents that humans originally possess, but also further enhances the efficiency of Qi transformation, completely transforming the Qi absorbed into oneself into a special power such as spiritual power.

Regarding the development of acupoints, for example, after Zhang Wei opened his eye acupoint, he gained night vision without relying on evil energy to obscure his eyes.

Each acupoint has a different deficiency to fill, but not everyone can fully open all the acupoints.

Generally speaking, those with lower requirements will first open the five senses and the seven orifices on the top of the head, and then go straight to the Earthly Branches. While studying the advancement of the Earthly Branches realm, they will use the spiritual power that has been transformed again after the realm has been climbed to perfect the acupoints from a high vantage point.

Furthermore, those who are not in such a hurry will choose to fully open the acupoints of the five internal organs and the spine before discussing advancing to the Earthly Branches.

Of course, there are exceptions, but these exceptions are all young people who have the qualifications and resources to help them, but they also know when to stop.

Otherwise, without achieving enlightenment and a complete physical body, a person's lifespan will remain stuck at the upper limit of 140 years.

As is well known, as people age, their organs, blood, and even their soul gradually begin to decline. Entering the path of spiritual cultivation can appropriately extend the upward and stable periods of one's life, but sixty years old is already the limit.

When the body begins to decline, one might be able to break through the barrier of the Earthly Branches with a burst of energy, but there is basically no hope of succeeding in the Heavenly Stems in this lifetime.

In order to leave themselves enough time to advance to the next level and extend their lifespan, even the most greedy person will choose to advance to the Earthly Branch before the age of fifty, and then reopen the acupoints later.
