Mortal: Li Feiyu, who came from the realm of a supreme being

After an unknown period of time, a faint sense of awareness slowly gathered, like a firefly glowing in the darkness.

With great difficulty, Li Feiyu regained control of her body, and her heavy, leaden eyelids slowly opened.

My vision blurred for a moment before gradually clearing.

He found himself lying on a hard stone bed, his body cold and stiff, as if every muscle and bone had been dormant for too long.

He tilted his head slightly and saw Han Yunshu lying by the bed, seemingly asleep.

Her face was unusually pale, her breath was weak, and a deep weariness was etched between her brows, clearly indicating that she had exhausted herself greatly.

He immediately looked inward at himself.

This body did indeed go through a process from being a "fake corpse" to being forcibly awakened to life.

In order to maximize the fulfillment of the puppet's "judgment" in the summoning array, he not only stopped the operation of his inner world and rapidly lost his life force, but also used the external martial art "Soul Transfer Technique" to concentrate his primordial spirit into the shadow, plunging into a state of stagnation that was infinitely close to death.

This practice is extremely dangerous. The separation of the primordial spirit from the physical body, as well as the severing of the physical body's vitality, can lead to irreversible damage.

He could only maintain that state for a maximum of ten breaths; beyond that, he might be in real danger.

The key to their survival was the successful summoning formation, and the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman played an indispensable role in the teleportation process.

But an accident still occurred. The spatial transfer seemed to have triggered the restrictions of the Crimson Forbidden Land on his primordial spirit, causing him to fall into a coma. Fortunately, in the last moment before losing consciousness, he saw Han Yunshu and decisively withdrew the protection of the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman.

This allowed Han Yunshu to provide timely treatment and pull him back from the brink of death.

It is likely that she sensed that his physical vitality was almost extinguished when he returned, so she used the pure power of the Nuwa's Heaven-Mending Technique as a source and his wood-based cultivation method as a guide to forcibly transfer the vast vitality into him, thus "rekindling" his dormant inner world cycle and activating his body's recovery.

The price she paid was her current weakness.

Li Feiyu's emotions surged, ultimately turning into a silent sigh.

He reached out, his fingertips stiff as he gently touched Han Yunshu's cold cheek.

A slight touch startled Han Yunshu from her light sleep. She looked up abruptly, her eyes initially blank, then filled with immense joy: "Brother Li! You're awake!" Her voice was hoarse and weary.

"How are you feeling?" she asked eagerly, her eyes carefully scanning his face.

"My primordial spirit has returned to its place, but I feel a slight sluggishness. My physical body is stiff and cold, and I need time to adjust. But the foundation is intact, which is already a great blessing." Li Feiyu's voice was a little dry. He tried to mobilize his inner world, and a warm but weak life force began to flow slowly, dispelling the chill in his limbs and bones.

He paused, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What's wrong?" Han Yunshu noticed that his expression was strange.

"The gains are too great," Li Feiyu sighed, his tone carrying a hint of the complexity of his plans being disrupted, "so great that... it might not be appropriate for us to continue staying in Huadaowu."

Han Yunshu was slightly taken aback, but didn't press for details about what they had gained. Instead, she followed his train of thought and said, "We originally planned to use our Heavenly Spiritual Root status to peacefully acquire resources and cultivate here. Now, this status has become a constraint?"

"That's right. Huadaowu will definitely keep a close watch on us, especially on you. It might be okay to go out for training normally, but if you want to leave for a long time, or handle some things that are not convenient for the sect to know about, it will be very troublesome. Leaving without saying goodbye will attract endless investigation." Li Feiyu rubbed his temples. "Originally, I just wanted to get resources for free, but now I'm in a bit of a predicament. At least, leaving quietly won't be so easy anymore."

Han Yunshu pondered and said, "Perhaps things will be better after we reach the Foundation Establishment stage? After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, it will be perfectly legitimate for us to travel around. The resources of Huadaowu are not inexhaustible, and ultimately, we disciples will still need to find some opportunities ourselves."

"That's true, but with a Heavenly Spiritual Root Foundation Establishment, the sect will likely pay more attention to you and might not let you travel far easily. However, it's too early to think about that now," Li Feiyu said in a deep voice. "The most urgent task is to improve our cultivation level. Once I've perfected the final step of the cultivation technique based on what I've learned, we'll strive to achieve Foundation Establishment within two years."

He looked at Han Yunshu with a solemn expression: "Before that, follow the incantation I gave you to store this 'Spirit Transformation Talisman' in your dantian and nurture it day and night."

Li Feiyu took out the cyan spirit-transforming talisman obtained from the storage bag of an ancient cultivator and handed it over along with the jade slip recording its usage.

The Spirit Transformation Talisman needs to be absorbed into the dantian and nurtured with one's own spiritual power. In times of crisis, it can protect cultivators from fatal damage, similar to the effect of the Demonic Tribulation Transformation Technique, but without any side effects!

Han Yunshu took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and understood the wondrous use of the Spirit Transformation Talisman. His expression changed, and he immediately pushed the talisman back: "Brother Li, this talisman is miraculous and will be of great use to you! You are often out and about, so it is most suitable for you to use it."

"I already have the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman protecting me, which is sufficient for defense. I don't need any additional life-saving items," Li Feiyu shook his head.

"Brother Li," Han Yunshu insisted, her clear eyes fixed on him, "the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman is indeed wondrous, practically an absolute defense, but precisely because of this, you should never use it lightly. It's too conspicuous; once used, if you can't ensure the elimination of all witnesses, the news could leak, leading to endless trouble. A Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to break through it, but they might have ways to restrict, trap, or even harm you in other ways. This talisman is your last resort, not a protective charm you can rely on normally."

She paused, then continued, "But this Spirit Transformation Talisman is different. It grows with your cultivation level, can be used to fight enemies on ordinary days, and can even absorb backlash in critical moments, making it more practical."

Li Feiyu looked at her silently for a moment, a hint of relief and emotion flashing in his eyes. He reached out and gently ruffled her hair: "You've grown up, you're more thoughtful... that's true."

The Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman is a trump card for saving one's life, but it is also like a hot potato, and there are many concerns when using it.

Once this thing is used, it must ensure the elimination of the opponent, but it cannot attack the opponent.

If the enemy sees such a defensive treasure, wouldn't they just run away? If they do, they're basically doomed. The news will inevitably leak out, and even Nascent Soul cultivators will have to take a look.

"There's no need to argue about this anymore." Li Feiyu put away his sighs, his tone becoming unquestionable. "This Spirit Transformation Talisman is of little significance to me. I cultivate immortality only to fill the eight foundations. When my immortal cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, I might fall back and start over due to absorbing Dao principles. My dantian undergoes several changes, and I simply don't have time to cultivate it to a high level. But you are different. You will cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul stage, which will take at least one or two hundred years. You will have enough time to nurture it to perfection, at which point it will be of great help to you."

Having said all that, Han Yunshu knew that Li Feiyu had made up her mind and had a valid reason for it.

She no longer refused, silently accepted the Spirit Transformation Talisman, and followed the incantation in the jade slip, sitting cross-legged and holding her breath.

A warm, cyan spiritual light emanated from her fingertips, enveloping the cyan talisman. The talisman trembled slightly, transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared into her lower abdomen, specifically her dantian.

Her aura fluctuated slightly before gradually stabilizing, and she began to gently nourish the talisman in her dantian with her own spiritual power, following the prescribed method.

Seeing that Han Yunshu had entered a meditative state, Li Feiyu also calmed his mind and began to meditate and regulate his breathing to recover his depleted vital energy and to sort out the slightly disordered energy in his body caused by the spatial transmission.

……

Three days later, Li Feiyu's energy and spirit had basically recovered.

He took out the jade bottle containing a drop of the Dew of Creation, uncorked it, and saw that the once crystal clear and vibrant dewdrop inside seemed to have dimmed slightly in color than when it was first taken out, and its spiritual energy also seemed to be dissipating.

"Sure enough, once separated from the Heavenly Bottle, the essence of life will slowly dissipate over time," Li Feiyu murmured. But this was not a bad thing; on the contrary, it allowed him to observe the changes more clearly.

He carefully drew out that drop of the Dew of Creation with his magic power, suspending it about a foot in the air in front of him.

Dewdrops are no bigger than grains of rice, yet they contain a universe within them, as if countless tiny, vibrant points of light are flowing and dying inside.

Li Feiyu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The next moment, his ancestral aperture opened, and the powerful spiritual essence remaining from his previous life's Heavenly Immortal realm merged and condensed without reservation with the immortal consciousness he had cultivated in this life, transforming into a pure and keen perception, like the finest tentacle, completely enveloping and permeating that drop of towering creation dew.

His mind was immersed in a mysterious state, as if he had transcended the linear flow of time.

In that tiny dewdrop, he "saw" a landscape far beyond appearances.

It is not the true path of life, but rather the traces of "growth" bestowed upon all things by the flow of time, guided by the laws of time. Thus, an indescribable, warm, and magnificent sense of "life" is born, permeating his primordial spirit like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain.

But that's not enough. Theoretical perception is ultimately still a layer away.

"Yun Shu," he said with his eyes closed, "bring a common spiritual plant seedling."

Han Yunshu, who was standing by, immediately did as instructed and quickly took a still-weak "Moonlight Grass" seedling and planted it in an ordinary clay pot.

Li Feiyu diverted a wisp of his mind to control the drop of the Dew of Creation, separating a tiny, almost imperceptible strand that dripped into the soil at the base of the seedling.

His entire senses shifted, locking onto the Moonlight Grass.

The miracle happened in an instant.

The tender leaves of the moonflower slowly unfold and thicken, the stems rise slightly, and the roots quietly spread in the soil.

Although its growth was accelerated a thousand times, it remained natural and harmonious from beginning to end.

Li Feiyu stayed up all night, his senses closely following every change in the plant: the surge of spiritual energy in its veins, the rhythm of cell division and proliferation, and the minute details of life transforming from weak to strong...

In particular, he clearly captured the abundant growth power inspired by the dew of creation, its operating principle, its integration with the plant's own vitality, and even its attraction and assimilation of the subtle spiritual energy in the surrounding world.

All sorts of mysteries, like a gentle stream, flowed into the lake of his heart.

At one moment, a flash of inspiration pierced the fog like lightning!

Li Feiyu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly. The countless fragments he had observed and comprehended over the past seven days, his high-level understanding of the Way of "Life" in his previous life, his knowledge of the operation of immortal cultivation techniques and the nature of spiritual power in this life, and the characteristics of his own inner world, all resonated and connected in a wonderful way at this moment!

Without hesitation, he immediately entered the deepest state of seclusion.

Only his steady, long breathing remained in the stone chamber, along with the increasingly dense, azure aura of vitality that subtly flowed around him.

Seven days later.

The stone chamber door slowly opened, and Li Feiyu stepped out.

His face was calm, but his eyes were as deep as an ancient well. His aura was harmonious and natural, and there was an indescribable vitality within him, as if plants were sprouting in spring and all things were growing.

Han Yunshu stepped forward and immediately sensed the difference, exclaiming with delight, "Brother Li, you succeeded?"

Li Feiyu nodded slightly, opened his palm, and a brand-new cyan jade slip condensed and appeared in his palm.

"The name 'Changchun Gong' is no longer sufficient to convey its meaning. The Foundation Building chapter of this method has been completely perfected. When building the foundation, one can forge a pure 'life' foundation, which will continue to thrive and endure forever."

He handed the jade slip to Han Yunshu.

"This technique shall henceforth be called..." He paused, unable to think of a good name for a moment, and then casually said, "Let's call it 'Timely Rain and Spring Breeze Technique'."
