I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

Chapter 91 Self-Awareness and Meeting Discussion

Why can't I be happy...?

Li Qingshan silently got up and lay down next to Shen Linyuan, looking just as heartbroken as ever.

Same body, same foundation.

When instinct is involved, you can easily defeat someone who takes the initiative.

That's quite hurtful.

Shen Linyuan glanced at him: "I'm not that fragile, you don't need to deliberately comfort me like this."

Looking at the leisurely white clouds in the sky, Li Qingshan sighed and said, "Master, you'll understand some of these worries when you reach my age."

These words, spoken in a way that contradicted the Heavenly Gang, amused Shen Linyuan.

He simply abandoned his reserve, put his hands behind his head, and asked, "What kind of secret technique was that? It was so powerful!"

That kind of method, which anticipates the enemy's moves and can precisely shatter one's own attacks, is difficult to break unless one encounters an overwhelming speed and power advantage.

Li Qingshan followed suit, casually crossing his legs, and said truthfully, "It's not a secret technique, but a talent that I've unearthed through sweat and hard work. I'm certainly powerful when I'm conscious, but I'm even more monstrous when my consciousness is dormant."

Shen Linyuan understood: "Battle instinct? Then you are quite suitable for the Asura Sect, one of the top sects of the Martial Alliance. The Asura Sect pursues the true self. During battle, the consciousness will fall into a deep sleep, and you will fight entirely based on instinct. I have heard that the geniuses in the sect can often see the enemy's weaknesses, anticipate the enemy's moves, and dominate the combat power among their peers."

Li Qingshan never expected that such a sect actually existed.

He turned to look at Shen Linyuan: "Is there an explanation?"

Shen Linyuan nodded: "The Shura Sect's heritage leans towards the ancient martial arts system, emphasizing the excavation of the human body's treasures."

However, ancient martial arts tended to focus on the power of force.

Or rather, the way of the body.

They pursued even greater physical abilities, easily surpassing the threshold of 100,000 jin in physical strength.

This has led to most ancient traditions becoming taboo subjects in the Guixu, forbidden to be touched, as contact would bring misfortune.

But perception is not.

After the physical body is transformed, our five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—will be greatly enhanced.

Afterwards, one should cultivate one's spirit in the Qi Sea Realm.

They can sense danger in their hearts.

This is the sixth sense, which follows the five senses. It is also called the sense of awareness, or the perception of consciousness and the warning of the mind.

In the later stages of the Meridian Opening Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm, this sensation will become even stronger, but it will still fall within the scope of the sixth sense.

The Asura Sect cultivates these senses.

I've heard there are nine levels of perception in total.

The Asura Sect has inherited eight types of teachings.

The five senses of the human body are five in number.

Perception is the sixth type.

As for what the seventh and eighth senses are, I have no idea.

After listening to Shen Linyuan's explanation, Li Qingshan felt that his horizons had been broadened once again.

This cheap master is like an encyclopedia; whether his knowledge is deep or not is another matter, but it is definitely broad.

Anyway, Shen Linyuan could say a few words about anything he wanted to know.

For example, why is the threshold for taboos 100,000 jin?

This is because 100,000 jin is the strength of an elephant, which can generate momentum, while 1 million jin is the strength of a dragon, which can generate meaning.

According to the few records left behind in the forbidden area, a person with 99,999 jin of strength would be instantly killed if they encountered someone who had gathered the strength of an elephant.

One is physical force.

One is the force of rules.

These are not the same concept.

This demonstrates the terrifying power of the physical body in the ancient martial arts system.

Things are different now.

Under the constraints of the rules.

Under normal circumstances, martial artists from Guixu do not need to worry about unintentionally breaking taboos.

Unless you secretly switch to ancient martial arts in a small world.

Otherwise, according to the current rules of the universe in Guixu, the physical limit that can be cultivated is at most 99,999 jin.

This kind of knowledge.

Ordinary elders at the Meridian Opening Realm probably wouldn't know this at all.

But Shen Linyuan was able to explain it in detail.

They chatted casually for a while.

Both of them felt much better.

They probably felt that Li Qingshan's abilities were up to par.

Shen Linyuan also mentioned the hierarchical divisions within the Martial Alliance, the power of the surrounding county governments, and their differences, among other things.

This conversation lasted for most of the day.

When I got up, it was already getting dark.

On the way back.

Shen Linyuan casually offered a word of advice: "In your current state, you are strong as you are, and you can perfectly unleash your strength, but you are too sluggish. It's fine against someone like me who is not very strong in the Spirit Transformation Realm, but against someone in the Spirit Transformation Realm who has mastered minor offensive supernatural abilities, you will not be flexible enough. Don't use them lightly."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded silently.

In fact, during the earlier battles, his soul was more like a power bank, and he did not fully unleash the power of his pseudo-Alaya consciousness state.

the reason is simple.

He did not activate the integrated perception of his sea of ​​consciousness, nor did he give himself any orders.

Unleash the power of integrated perception within the sea of ​​knowledge.

Taking advantage of the sixty-fold difference in time flow in the sea of ​​consciousness, Shen Linyuan's almost instantaneous attack of infinite shadows became as slow as a snail playing Tai Chi in his pseudo-Alaya consciousness state.

He was able to dodge it.

There's no need to expend energy on a head-on confrontation.

In this situation, Li Qingshan, lacking the support of a Dharma body, could not kill Shen Linyuan, and Shen Linyuan could hardly wear him down either.

If Li Qingshan were to hide in the consciousness space and then give commands to the pseudo-Alaya consciousness... such as breaking through, escaping, or killing someone, etc.

In that pseudo-Alaya consciousness state, Li Qingshan's body would still act according to commands, instead of remaining dazed and in a daze.

Li Qingshan had tried all of these in the battle just now.

In other words, out of consideration for his master and to keep some trump cards for himself, he only tried it out briefly, and once he confirmed its feasibility, he gave up.

Otherwise, Shen Linyuan would be even more depressed.

After a battle with Shen Linyuan.

Li Qingshan has now clearly defined his niche.

The difference in realms is like a heaven at a time, and the further you go, the more crushing it becomes.

Without the blessing of the Dharma image.

On his own, he could at most be considered invincible at the Meridian Opening Realm. Against a Spirit Transformation Realm expert, or someone like Shen Linyuan who was in an incomplete Spirit Transformation Realm, he couldn't win and couldn't escape.

Activating the [Hundred-Ton King Charge] transforms the user into a state of twice the speed of sound, still making them invincible in the Meridian Opening Realm. At most, they are more efficient at crushing weaker opponents, but they still cannot defeat a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator.

What remains is the pseudo-Alaya consciousness state we just discussed.

Full power.

Li Qingshan was capable of fighting someone at the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he couldn't kill him.

He wanted to run away, but his master couldn't stop him.

Even if his master wanted to run away, he couldn't stop him.

Finally, there is the state of being blessed by the Dharma image.

In this state, in a sneak attack situation, his Dharma form, after being enchanted with attacks, should be able to inflict fatal damage on a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator.

At least it works for Shen Linyuan.

As for the level of a sect leader...

Thinking back to the lingering effects of the battle that had spread for over a hundred miles, Li Qingshan ultimately didn't dare to be so arrogant as to threaten the sect leaders of the three factions.

Even just surviving is incredibly difficult.

With twice the speed of sound, unless placed in a special environment like the Ruins of Return, he would be helpless against a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator who could teleport and use minor supernatural powers to travel at will.

Another point.

Those are the martial artists of Guixu; their ability to foresee danger seems to be stronger than that of the wizards.

Although those wizards were suspected of possessing innate witchcraft that could be automatically triggered when faced with danger, they could be forcibly killed by using their magical forms as long as the wizards got close.

It's difficult for martial artists who return to the Void.

If Shen Linyuan had sensed a warning, he would have immediately distanced himself instead of trying to test his abilities.

He couldn't catch up with them.

There was no chance to launch a sneak attack.

It can only be said that the Guixu Martial Arts system, even in its current weakened version, is still far too overpowered.

According to Li Qingshan's two lifetimes of understanding, let's use a more intuitive metaphor to understand it.

It's similar to the mortal cultivation novels that Li Qingshan read in his previous life.

The difference between an ordinary Qi Sea Realm expert and a Qi Sea Realm powerhouse is equivalent to the difference between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.

The difference between a Qi Sea Realm expert and an ordinary Meridian Opening Realm expert is equivalent to that between a Foundation Establishment expert and a Pseudo-Core Formation expert.

The difference between an ordinary Qi Opening Realm cultivator and a Qi Opening Realm expert is equivalent to that between a Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator and a Golden Core cultivator.

This analogy may not be appropriate.

But this is the kind of sensory experience given to Li Qingshan.

The differences within the same region are significant.

The gap is even greater across borders.

Moreover, this gap widens as time goes on.

At his current level, unless he deliberately feigns weakness and then suddenly unleashes his Dharma Aspect at close range, he has no way to defeat even an ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator like Shen Linyuan.

With this in mind, Li Qingshan understood the situation better.

He could face an ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator in a head-on 1v1 and have a chance to kill them, but it would be very difficult. If the opponent wanted to entangle him, he wouldn't be able to get rid of them.

Facing a Spirit Transformation Realm expert, he would most likely die; he wouldn't even be able to escape.

That's roughly the ecological niche.

In short, we still need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

the next day.

Li Qingshan arrived at Shen Linyuan's temporary residence early in the morning.

Master summoned Wang Feng and Li Tianyi to discuss the future arrangements for the three factions.

This discussion involved some information about immortals.

This kind of information used to only circulate among sect leaders and powerful figures.

This small gathering involved his future career path, and Li Qingshan took it quite seriously.

To advance to the Spirit Transformation stage through the opening of meridians requires endurance.

It's not as easy as before.

If he wants to visibly improve his strength, he might need to work harder on his bloodline path, or start challenging more powerful opponents to refine his martial arts intent.

Challenging the strong is somewhat difficult in the small world of Bitter Realm.

There are very few who can stand against him anymore.

They can't even use war to cultivate their will.

Cultivating both bloodline and path techniques is relatively easy.

Many disciples and even elders from the three sects acquired one or two martial bone supernatural abilities through sacrifice or awakening before reaching the Qi Sea Realm.

Besides.

There are quite a few bloodline families in the Guixu area as well.

On the front lines of the Martial Alliance and the Ding Kingdom, there are countless martial artists who have awakened their martial bones or obtained them through sacrifice.

Therefore, if Li Qingshan strengthens his bloodline path, he will not lack targets for plunder.

He hadn't focused on improving his bloodline before, only out of safety concerns and because he had no grudges against him.

This could be an opportunity.

If the immortals are a bit of a pain, he'll try to give up the two martial bones he's already acquired and instead use the burial soil to devour them, thus increasing the enchantment damage of his Dharma Form.

If there are no major problems.

He could also try to gather all seven minor martial arts techniques, take a shortcut, form a true Yellow Turban Warrior bloodline, and directly possess the combat power of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

One can take a shortcut with the physical body, or one can take a shortcut with the Dharma form.

Anything is fine.

Noon.

Li Tianyi and Wang Feng arrived at Shen Linyuan's residence one after the other.

Accompanied by the magic array.

Shen Linyuan sealed off the surrounding area with his Shadow Domain before starting the meeting.
