Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

[Original Source: 100.04%]

Looking at the progress of the Origin on the panel, Li Youan smiled.

"What? It feels like you've surpassed me in numbers, you're all laughing."

Dongfang Jinghong looked at Li Youan with a smile on his face, and after swinging his sword twice, he laughed from the side.

But before Li Youan could reply, the Frost and Snow Cranes, whose cultivation had reached the Kaiyuan Realm, seemed to have received a signal and rushed towards the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

"A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix".

"Return to Origin Sword Technique - Return to Origin Sword".

The golden phoenix stood on the cyan longsword and flew towards the oncoming Frost and Snow Crane of the Opening Realm.

Taking advantage of this brief break, Li Youan took out the porcelain bottle his master had given him and poured out a Breaking Yuan Pill.

"What are you trying to do...?"

Seeing Li Youan take out the pill, Dongfang Jinghong initially thought it was a normal Guiyuan Pill, but upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a Poyuan Pill.

Before he could ask, Li Youan had already thrown it into his mouth, swallowed it with a quick movement of his throat.

"Are you crazy? You want to break through to the Opening Yuan Realm under these circumstances?! How is that possible? We've been fighting for so long, how much energy have we used up? Where would we get the energy to break through to the Opening Yuan Realm?"

As soon as the Breaking Yuan Pill entered his stomach, its effects took hold instantly, and Li Youan felt a surge of vital energy erupt within his body.

"Please hang in there for a while, I'm sure I'll succeed."

Li Youan left only one sentence before closing his eyes, sitting cross-legged, and beginning to regulate his breathing in preparation for a breakthrough.

Li Youan recalled what his master had told him, wanting to break through from the Body Tempering Realm to the Origin Opening Realm.

Not only does the total amount of vital energy need to meet the requirements, but a wisp of vital energy spring must also be opened in the dantian, and a vortex of vital energy must be formed above the spring.

As Dongfang Jinghong said, Li Youan's current internal energy is simply insufficient for a breakthrough.

With this in mind, Li Youan did not hesitate and directly chose to improve his cultivation level through the panel.

The text on the screen changed and finally became: [Cultivation: First Level of the Opening Yuan Realm].

At this moment, Li Youan felt as if a small vortex was forming in his dantian.

The vital energy in the body's meridians is drawn together by the vortex, and the volume of the vortex is rapidly expanding.

However, due to the previous battle, his vital energy was almost depleted, so Li Youan hurriedly activated the Basic Breathing Technique to absorb the vital energy between heaven and earth.

However, the vital energy that Li Youan absorbed from the air was far less than what the cyclone consumed. Now, Li Youan felt that the cyclone was draining his body's potential to compensate for itself.

The vital energy spring beneath the cyclone has vanished without a trace.

"Bai Ze, isn't your cultivation technique ready yet? If you don't, I'll be sucked dry by this vortex today!"

Sensing his own condition, Li Youan transmitted his voice to Bai Ze, who was sleeping on his chest.

When I returned to my room last night, Bai Ze was already asleep. Even after such a fierce battle, I couldn't wake him up. I don't know if I can wake him up now.

"Holy crap, why are we being attacked again?"

Bai Ze rubbed his eyes, stretched out his little paws, and woke up from Li Youan's arms. Only then did he realize that he was trapped in the air by the Frost and Snow Cranes, and Dongfang Jinghong was struggling to hold on.

"No, when are you going to have a couple of days of peace? What's wrong with your health?"

Immediately afterwards, Bai Ze noticed the abnormality in Li Youan's body.

"You actually dared to break through that barrier!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, I can't hold on any longer."

Li Youan almost shouted it out.

Bai Ze didn't delay any longer, slapping Li Youan's forehead with one claw, followed by a golden light entering his forehead.

hum.

Li Yun felt an ancient scroll unfold in his mind, with the words "True Scripture of Longevity Tribulation" written on it.

As Li Youan directed his thoughts, the scroll slowly opened.

I. General Principles

A single seed of Tao contains the profound and mysterious.

[True Yang is tempered by countless tribulations.]

[Seizing all the will of creation and destruction of heaven and earth,]

My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of Heaven.

II. Breeding Techniques

[Spiritual light gathers in the dantian.]

[Nourishing the roots and seedlings with Qi and blood.]

Both movement and stillness nourish the body's vitality.

[True intentions protect the heavens.]

Li Youan could sense that there was more content on the scroll, but he was unable to open it further.

After reading the large characters, the specific details of the cultivation method appeared. Li Youan began to practice according to the instructions.

As the cultivation technique circulated, Li Youan felt a seed condensing above his dantian acupoint.

Through the content of the cultivation technique, Li Youan learned that this seed was called the [Seed of Longevity]. It was not a physical entity, but rather an aggregation of his own life essence, martial will, and a trace of innate potential; it was the beginning and end of all cultivation techniques.

The moment the [Seed of Immortality] was formed, Li Youan could feel the potential that had just been plundered slowly recovering.

Moreover, Li Youan could clearly feel that the [Seed of Longevity] was extending outward through the meridians and acupoints throughout the body, sending out countless invisible branches that were frantically absorbing the surrounding vital energy.

Furthermore, through these branches, Li Youan sensed two enormous clusters of vital energy and life force beside him.

Li Youan knew that this was Dongfang Jinghong and Bai Ze, and that Bai Ze's qi and blood were more than three times the sum of Li Youan's and Dongfang Jinghong's.

Extending his perception further, Li Youan sensed the chill in the blood and qi of the Frost Cranes.

By extending this perception to its maximum range, Li Youan confirmed that even the most powerful Frost Snow Crane was only at the third level of the Opening Yuan Realm.

【Ding. 】

[Completely passed the beginner phase; panel adjustments and simplifications are underway.]

Just as Li Youan was about to check his status on the panel, he heard a notification sound.

To see the details, there are only these few words.

While checking the panel, Li Youan was also fully activating the "Longevity Tribulation True Scripture," and the vital energy around his body was being frantically absorbed by the Dao Seed through the branches penetrating the air.

After being thoroughly "tempered, purified, and transformed" by the Dao seed, this primordial energy was injected into the vortex below.

Below the cyclone, the source of vital energy was slowly taking shape, and eventually, a spring that continuously gushed forth vital energy was formed.

Soon, the area around the Sky Shuttle was filled with Yuan Qi, with its flowing trajectory visible, except for Dongfang Jinghong's fiery sword energy and the scattered remains of the Frost Crane.

After Li Youan sat down cross-legged, Dongfang Jinghong activated the Blazing Armor with all his might.

Behind Dongfang Jinghong, the Blazing Armor formed a pair of fiery wings from its energy, allowing Dongfang Jinghong to maneuver nimbly with the Frost and Snow Crane in the air.

Li Youan originally intended to transform the Golden Light Sword Formation into the Vine Binding Formation to help Dongfang Jinghong defend the formation, but after fully entering the breakthrough state, Li Youan was unable to concentrate on anything else, and the formation completely stopped.

Although Li Youan's breakthrough was impressive, Dongfang Jinghong's situation became dangerous after losing his helper.

Frosty Crane noticed Li Youan's breakthrough and quickened its attack pace.

At this moment, Dongfang Jinghong's Blazing Armor had several tears, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

But at this moment, Dongfang Jinghong's internal energy was being consumed the most, to the point of being completely depleted.

"Are you done yet? If you've been making such a big fuss and still haven't succeeded..."

"Then we're going to perish in the air, and I don't want to turn into bird poop."

Dongfang Jinghong, panting heavily, stood back beside Li Youan with his sword in his right hand. These two sentences also woke Li Youan from his immersion in the breakthrough.

Just as Dongfang Jinghong was about to faint from exhaustion, an arm supported her waist from behind and then gently placed her into the cabin of the Sky Shuttle.

"Since my employer got injured like this, we'll have roasted bird meat today."

Li Youan was already standing in front of Dongfang Jinghong, protecting him behind her, while Dongfang Jinghong could only see Li Youan's tall and broad back.

"Leave the rest to me."
