Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike

Laws, witchcraft

Li Xin looked at the passionate clansmen before him, and at the unwavering expressions of the elders and Tie Yuan.

After a long silence, he ultimately did not offer any further advice.

He knew that his body was still young and his prestige was still somewhat lacking; this was the reason why a person of low status had little influence.

Although these people in the tribe live in poverty, their willpower is extremely strong.

Their beliefs cannot be swayed by words.

Unless they figure it out themselves.

Otherwise, it's pointless to say anything.

You can tell from their eyes that their obsession is deeply ingrained.

No one will be willing to abandon their ancestral land unless bloodshed and the destruction of their homes truly become a reality.

"If all else fails, save as many as you can. When disaster strikes, everyone goes their separate ways. No matter what, I can at least escape with my younger sister in this body."

As soon as Li Xin had a thought, he suddenly felt a slight throbbing in his heart.

A subconscious feeling told me that venturing into the jungle alone was not a good idea.

very dangerous.

Most of them are in mortal danger.

What is this? Right, after I mastered martial arts in my own world, I realized a miraculous ability to sense danger and avoid it, and I also awakened a talent for avoiding misfortune.

Although this body is not the original body, and only a wisp of the primordial spirit has come over, some abilities cannot be fully utilized, but it still brings a tiny bit of power.

Especially regarding spiritual connections, there wasn't much difference.

It seems that staying with the tribe members offers a better chance of survival. Could there be some powerful force within the tribe that I'm unaware of?

That's not right. The original owner of this body doesn't seem to have any such information in her memories, nor has she ever seen any experts stronger than the clan leader and the hunting captain. So, the original Sangmu was just too young and lacked experience; even if she had seen them, she wouldn't have noticed.

Unable to figure it out, Li Xin simply stopped thinking about it.

He rarely places his hopes on others.

Thinking to himself, he would take advantage of the moment before the enemy arrived, exhaust his Yuan Crystals, comprehend the power of the laws, and hope to make further progress.

The stronger you become, the better your chances of survival.

Perhaps, it can protect the tribe and help them overcome the difficulties.

As dusk falls, wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys.

Li Xin carried several hundred catties of the best meat and millet back to his simple wooden house.

As I pushed open the door, a thin, frail figure immediately came to greet me.

The eight-year-old younger sister, Sang Lan, has delicate features, but her face is sallow and malnourished.

The way it looked toward the door was timid, like a frightened little animal.

Li Xin's heart tightened slightly.

He couldn't stand that kind of look. He thought to himself, what if this little guy knew that his older brother was no longer in this world?

Like her parents, she will never come back. I wonder if she can bear this blow.

Upon seeing Li Xin return, Sang Lan's eyes lit up instantly, and she softly asked, "Brother, are you healed?"

'

"It's alright, I'm all better now. You must be starving. I've brought back a lot of game, so you won't go hungry this time."

Li Xin smiled gently, casually placed the meat and rice on the ground, and gently patted the little girl's head.

After returning to the tribe, when it came time to distribute meat and grain, the tribespeople voluntarily gave Li Xin the most generous share.

Dozens of kilograms of firm tiger leg meat—and succulent bear leg meat, are the most nourishing and concentrated top-quality meats from these ferocious beasts.

In addition, they were also given a portion of the tribe's remaining millet, a treatment even better than that of the elders.

He declined several times, and everyone was so anxious they almost cried, before finally carrying all that food home.

"Ugh!"

These people in the tribe seem to be simple-minded and loyal, so how could anyone bear to abandon them?

Li Xin sighed inwardly.

Sang Lan then noticed what her brother was carrying, her mouth agape in surprise. "Wow, so much meat! Is this ours? Brother, how much game did you hunt?"

She had no doubt what Li Xin said.

"Lots, lots, enough for over a hundred people in our tribe." Li Xin was amused by the little girl's expression; the overflowing joy from her heart made all his fatigue disappear. "Tonight we'll stew bear meat and have a good meal—no, we're so hungry..."

"After a while, Xiaolan, you should only eat until you're half full, otherwise your stomach won't be able to handle it."

"Um."

Sang Lan nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with joy. She quickly gathered firewood, started a fire, boiled water, and cooked a meal, her small figure constantly busy.

"I'll do it."

Li Xin paused for a moment, then picked up the knife and began processing the ingredients.

"Brother, I'm fine. If you're tired from hunting, just lie down and rest."

"Not tired."

As night deepened, the village lights began to twinkle, and the daytime hustle and bustle gradually faded away, leaving only the soft rustling of the evening breeze through the forest.

After the tribesmen had eaten their fill, their tense minds relaxed a little. Except for those on guard duty outside, most of the tribesmen had already gone to bed early, but Li Xin was wide awake.

After settling his younger sister into a deep sleep, he walked out of the wooden house alone and came to a secluded stone platform on the cliff behind the tribe, where he sat cross-legged.

He practiced the Black Water Breathing Method diligently and assiduously.

The pitch-black night enveloped the mountains and forests, and a cool evening breeze ruffled the clothes.

His mind was clear and focused, and with each breath, his qi and blood slowly transformed.

The pure black water true energy flowed slowly in the dantian and sea of ​​qi. After accumulating to a certain point, most of it was separated out and seeped into the limbs and bones, tempering the meridians and body.

"Huh!"

At this point, Li Xin was surprised to find that although the true qi cultivated by this Black Water Technique was extremely pure and condensed, it did not follow the path of nourishing qi and building a foundation, gathering qi to form a pill, breaking the pill to transform into an infant, and generating a primordial spirit, unlike the White Yang True Explanation, the Nine Fallen Sword Embryo Technique, and the Three Lights Divine Water Scripture that he cultivated.

The vital energy flows into the chest at the Tanzhong acupoint, forming a vast expanse, and then disperses to all parts of the body.

This power merges into the physical body, gradually strengthening it from the smallest details.

He even had a feeling.

Its own cells are constantly absorbing true energy, and even smaller particles are constantly growing stronger.

"This Black Water Technique primarily trains the physical body. After the blood and marrow are cleansed, could the physical body continue to grow stronger indefinitely?"

"If you don't cultivate your primordial spirit but only your physical body, how will you defend against magic?"

With a thought, Li Xin tested his physique and felt that his strength had increased considerably.

Pick up a round, hard stone, and gently pinch it between two fingers; it will turn into fine powder.

He raised an eyebrow, thinking that his body should have the strength of seven or eight thousand jin.

"The physical body is progressing so quickly. True Qi is just an auxiliary energy for body refinement. It seems to be constantly transforming and evolving at the genetic level. Although this way of thinking does not follow the path of refining Qi into spirit, it can improve combat power much faster."

"It's a pity that without cultivating the primordial spirit, wouldn't one's spirit be extremely weak? -- No, one's spiritual strength is actually not weak."

Li Xin circulated his spirit and used the Black Water Technique to probe outwards, only to find that his perception range was gradually expanding.

In some respects, although he did not follow the path of refining qi into spirit, his soul was still tempered.

He carefully sensed the inside of his body.

When the vital energy circulates to the Tanzhong acupoint, the mind suddenly becomes icy cold.

Li Xin sensed that a tiny drop of water light had quietly condensed deep within his Dantian (lower abdomen).

It was not liquid water, but an extremely pure, pitch-black ice crystal.

The ice crystals are crystal clear and flawless, with exquisite patterns. They appear to be extremely cold and desolate, but inside they contain a strange vitality.

It silently nourishes his meridians, body, and internal organs.

This is an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of Blackwater Kung Fu practice.

"This isn't my power?"

Li Xin's primordial spirit far surpassed that of the beings in this world. His spiritual power was vast, clear, and pure, far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level by hundreds or thousands of times.

At this moment, he focused his mind inward, immersing himself in the ice crystals, and instantly captured a wisp of energy.

Invisible to the naked eye, the subtle ice flower patterns bloom, flow, and dance deep within the ice crystals, creating intricate and exquisite textures.

Each pattern seems to hold the secrets of this world.

Black water, ice, annihilation, and vitality—four opposing forces—perfectly blend, cycle, and coexist within this ice crystal, achieving a balance.

Li Xin's spirit soared to new heights, his mind breaking free from the shackles of the physical body, frantically deducing and rapidly comprehending.

His primordial spirit, like a bird breaking free from its cage, soared wildly and grew rapidly, his spiritual power increasing exponentially at a visible speed.

His originally powerful primordial spirit became even more refined, clear, vast, and profound, and his control over true qi and understanding of power instantly rose several levels.

Strand by strand, the most fundamental and basic rules of this world quietly unveiled a corner of the veil before his eyes.

Frozen still, life extinguished.

"This is the power law of [ice]."

A branch of a river system.

After a long while, Li Xin opened his eyes, and a faint purple light flickered in his pupils.

A brief half-hour of enlightenment is more valuable than years of arduous practice.

Li Xin's aura underwent a subtle transformation; his Black Water True Qi became increasingly condensed. With a thought—

Its every gesture holds a magical secret: freezing all things and extinguishing all life.

At the other end of endless time and space, the Dharma-ending Age has arrived.

In the deathly dark meditation chamber, Li Xin, the true form of himself, sat upright on a futon and opened both eyes at the same time!

Two beams of light shot out from the sky, illuminating the entire dark and secret room.

With a clear mind and free from all constraints, he instantly grasped a glimpse of the true nature of the branching laws of the water system.

The world before my eyes seemed to have changed once again.

His aura became ethereal and elusive, as if he were in this place, yet not in it.

In the quiet room, only a cold, ethereal shadow was reflected in the room; the real physical body had already vanished into nothingness.

"I see!"

He chuckled softly.

His cultivation, which had been stuck at the Void Realm and unable to break through for a long time, now broke through naturally and smoothly.

Early stage of Void Refinement!

Leaping across a vast realm, reaching a new height in cultivation —

The spirit, physique, and primordial spirit of this being have undergone an ultimate transformation, and the power of the divine soul has increased several times over.

Transparent and flawless, vast and boundless.

Looking up, the once empty void had completely changed its appearance.

Countless fine, transparent, and endless threads of law crisscross and permeate the void, forming the foundation of heaven and earth and the order of all things in the Dharma-ending Age.

Wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, marshes, life, death—the myriad laws are clearly visible and vividly presented.

Among them, the ice law of the water system branch is the clearest and most clearly visible.

He knew that this was in the opposite world, where he was inspired by the ice crystals in his chest, and had a sudden enlightenment, thus comprehending the true meaning of the Void in one fell swoop.

The so-called "penetrating the void" means to penetrate the laws of the void.

This being broke through the Nascent Soul Realm in one step and entered the Void Refinement Realm, greatly increasing his lifespan from three thousand years to ten thousand years.

At this moment, his vital energy was abundant, and his spirit spread out, seemingly encompassing thousands of miles.

Our thoughts soar to great heights.

One can even see that the void of this degenerate age is riddled with cracks and holes.

Countless threads of law broke, withered, and became dull and lifeless.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is depleted and scarce, and the Great Dao is incomplete and fragmented.

"No wonder. This world is so shattered. How could anyone possibly cultivate and attain enlightenment under such circumstances?"

Could those wisps of black mist seeping in from the sky be the negative energy that affects people's hearts?

"I wonder how high a level of cultivation would be needed to repair this world and restore it to its original state."

Looking at its riddled state.

For some reason, Li Xin felt as if he could hear the Origin Pearl weeping, and as if the world itself was grieving.

"Take your time."

Although he was a possessed clone in the Blackwater Tribe of the Great Wilderness, he did not have such a profound level of cultivation.

Even if the primordial spirit is divided into two parts, it is still subject to the control of the physical body.

It's not about exclusively training the primordial spirit.

However, after gaining insight into the laws of ice, although he was not yet able to refine them into his body and transform it into a body of the laws, he could feel that his combat power had increased by nearly two times in just a moment.

He has now basically figured out what path the Black Water Technique takes.

I understood it the moment I first perceived the information about the law.

If cultivating the primordial spirit and comprehending the laws in the enlightened world is the path of strengthening the primordial spirit, refining the laws with the primordial spirit, and fully integrating with the laws of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the next step in the Black Water Technique should be to bring the physical body infinitely closer to the body of the laws, and then merge with the laws of heaven and earth.

They're going in different directions, not on the same path.

The ultimate goal is probably similar.

"Where did this ice crystal at the Tanzhong acupoint come from? How could it possess such miraculous properties?"

Li Xin finally understood why, when his soul possessed another body, this body did not have any particularly serious injuries.

I just feel a little tightness in my chest.

But here is the problem.

If it was just such a minor injury, then how could the original mulberry tree have possibly died?

Therefore, the most likely explanation is that a master rescued him.

Moreover, he was certain that the ice crystals in the Tanzhong acupoint were not something this body had cultivated on its own.

Don't even mention that the original owner didn't cultivate true qi.

Even if it's repaired.

Even the true energy of the Black Water Technique is not so exquisite and wondrous.

Li Xinxin was puzzled, so he stopped practicing, got up, and slowly walked back to his wooden house.

The room was dimly lit, with flickering firelight. Sang Lan had already woken up and was sitting on a straw mat, sorting through dried herbs by the dim light. Her small hands were delicate, and her movements were extremely skillful.

Seeing Li Xin return, she looked up at him, her eyes filled with joy: "Brother, you're back."

Li Xin knelt down in front of her, his tone gentle: "Xiao Lan, I have a question for you. When I was severely injured by a tiger and on the verge of death, who saved me?"

Sang Lan paused, her expression surprised.

"It's Sister Zhaoyue. She's a shaman. She's the one who heals the people in the tribe when they're injured." She whispered back, "That day, Brother was lying here, his body was ice cold, and he was almost out of breath. Even the chieftain said he couldn't be saved."

It was Sister Zhaoyue who came overnight and sat by your side all night, using witchcraft to protect your body and prevent your injuries from worsening.

"Sister Zhaoyue said that you are seriously injured, and she can use her magic to stabilize you."

But your head was injured by the tiger's roar, and you're in a daze; you can only wake up slowly on your own.

Li Xin understood instantly.

It turned out to be the case.

The fact that my body was able to survive from a certain death was not by chance, but entirely thanks to the intervention of that tribal shaman.

The black ice crystals at the Tanzhong acupoint are probably what she left behind.

The original Sangmu, according to his memories, actually thought that the witch Zhaoyue was only good at healing, extremely skilled with herbs, and could exorcise evil spirits, but that her actual combat strength was very weak.

That's a misjudgment.
