I am Jinshan Youxia

Chapter 115 I'm terrifyingly strong now.

Two days later, in the afternoon, outside the Valley of Immortal Spring.

"I understand."

Zhang Chengyi watched as his physique and internal energy continued to decline and then flickered wildly due to the value lock, finally understanding why people who left the Valley of Immortality aged rapidly.

The source of the Valley of Immortality is that spring water. The Spring of Immortality can improve one's physical condition by ingesting it, thus indirectly achieving the effect of immortality and longevity. However, such improvement is arbitrary and does not fit the body's structure. In the Valley of Immortality, one can absorb the vaporized Spring of Immortality simply by breathing, so there will be no problems.

Once you leave the Valley of Immortality, your body will age rapidly because it cannot bear the extra physical strength. Internal energy can only slow down this aging process and not stop it. You will be dragged to death by the physical strength you have improved.

In contrast, the ability of a modifier to precisely modify values ​​alters the body's structure, making it appear as it was 'born', thus eliminating the possibility of problems requiring special environments.

[Interesting, there were other discoveries as well]

Zhang Chengyi soon discovered another strange point in his body. After leaving the Valley of Immortality, the spring water in his stomach was slowly turning into another kind of 'qi'.

Note that there is a little tidbit here: under normal circumstances, water only stays in the stomach for a short time before entering the intestines, and is eventually absorbed into the bloodstream through osmosis.

He suspects that the source of the Everlasting Spring's ability to keep one young and aging actually lies in the blood, and that it's normal for the body to change after the hematopoietic system is altered.

Getting back to the main point, because he had locked the value of the spring water in his stomach, he would replenish it as much as it leaked through his intestines. This caused some of the spring water to stay in his stomach long enough that after leaving the Valley of Immortality, the air he breathed in turned some of the spring water into a vapor state, which then appeared brightly in the options that could be added to the data panel.

That's right. If it couldn't turn into a gaseous state, it wouldn't be able to live inside and remain evergreen.

I have an idea...

Zhang Chengyi urgently multiplied his rapidly depleting "Eternal Youth" energy by dozens of times, suppressing the urge to burp and fart. Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea: he poured the "Eternal Youth" energy in his stomach into his meridians. As everyone knows, internal energy in the world of Tianlong often merges with all sorts of random things.

For example, various poisons can add toxins to internal energy. You Tanzhi was even poisoned by the Ice Silkworm, which allowed him to attach the Ice Silkworm's toxins to his internal energy. Although it had the effect of the Yi Jin Jing, it was enough to prove that internal energy can integrate with external objects.

So, is it possible to integrate the "Eternal Spring" brand with the "Car" brand?

Even if someone lives in the Valley of Immortality, the amount of Immortality Qi they can absorb through breathing is limited. What they drink will be quickly digested, and no one can create such a high concentration of Immortality Qi in their body.

Truly unprecedented.

A continuous stream of high-concentration "immortal longevity 'gas'" flows into the meridians in the manner of the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

"Hiss!" Zhang Chengyi's ten fingers were frantically exhaling steam, which had a very high water content. At first, his internal energy didn't pay any attention to the "Eternal Youth Steam," but as time went on, under the constant compression in his meridians, this kind of energy, which naturally has compatibility with other objects, quickly merged with the "Eternal Youth Steam."

As a result, the "Evergreen" and "Immortality" options on the data panel disappeared, and "Longevity" was added instead.

His physique improved again, and he casually tapped the highest level. His physique jumped from 4.3 to 8, almost doubling again.

"Splash!"

Blood surged and roared within the body, pores spewed out large amounts of high-temperature steam, power surged endlessly, and the lungs and internal organs underwent a unique transformation.

It took Zhang Chengyi a while to adapt to his new body. It didn't continue to grow bigger or turn into anything strange, but his physique was so good that he felt he could easily throw a punch that would explode into the air without the aid of internal energy. It seemed that every cell in his body was filled with something that was a fusion of Beiming True Qi and the 'Qi' of Immortality.

This new energy has a higher density and is more flexible. Although it still needs to be generated and circulated along the meridians and acupoints, it can easily leave the acupoints and enter the muscles and bones without dissipating directly.

He bent over as if to run, and the next second...

"Boom!" The sonic boom cloud exploded along his body, and a deep trench cracked in the ground he stepped on. With the support of his internal energy, his body, which had shot out, easily traversed the air.

With a casual slap, a vacuum was briefly created in front of him, and the speeding, spindle-shaped air mass silently cut off the distant mountain peak.

Zhang Chengyi flew rapidly into the sky, stepping on the air. During the ascent, his hands were tucked into his waist, and new internal energy continuously gathered in his ten fingers. Because it would not dissipate quickly, it was constantly compressed by him.

"Turtle-like, imposing..."

"achievement!"

A bright white energy wave, visible to the naked eye, swept past, instantly shattering the clouds.

Damn it, I've wanted to do this for ages!

"Hahahahahaha!"

Zhang Chengyi burst into wild laughter, letting his body stagnate and fall under the influence of gravity. The sound of the air trembling wildly around him sounded like beautiful music to him.

"I'm incredibly strong now!"

-------------------------------------

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire mountain shook, startling countless birds and beasts into fleeing.

Zhang Chengyi, completely naked, knelt in the huge pit, surrounded by thick smoke. He slowly straightened up, something slapping against his thighs in the strong wind, before he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

My whole body is numb.

Even with internal energy protecting him and a much stronger physique than before, he could still easily engage in high-altitude freefalls, which put too much pressure on his body.

After a while, Zhang Chengyi sat up, a silly grin on his face that seemed to say, "How awesome am I?" Sometimes it really does take a little creative thinking.

Didn't it take off in no time?

He quickly recovered from his excitement. In reality, the physical condition of his current body was probably not even as good as the zombie body in Highschool of the Dead, let alone in other more powerful worlds.

The new true energy should have great potential, but it needs to be developed. Moreover, the drastic changes in his body and true energy have completely destroyed the Beiming Liangyi Gong that he had learned from Wuyazi but had not yet mastered.

That cultivation technique was a nightmare for him. The condensation of each acupoint was no different from carving a tofu flower. It would collapse if he wasn't careful. The dissipation of true energy was disgusting.

Now he can probably quickly condense the acupoints without worrying about making mistakes. The new true energy will not easily dissipate. Even if he wastes some time, he should be able to master it. It's just unknown whether the Beiming Liangyi Gong will still have such an explosive effect due to different body types and different true energy.

Wait, true energy won't dissipate so easily...

Zhang Chengyi's eyes gradually brightened. He had a very interesting idea that he couldn't implement before because his true energy dissipated too quickly, but now it seemed that he had a chance to realize it.

Chapter 116 World Version Update

"The Spirit Nest lies between Tianzong and Jianzhen..."

Wu Yazi squatted on the ground in a daze, holding a wooden stick and drawing aimlessly, muttering incantations that he himself could not quite understand at the time.

The next second, he suddenly stood up, his face showing fear and panic, but then his eyes gradually cleared and his expression naturally calmed down.

In fear, the body's instincts relinquish control to the more intelligent mind. Just as being in a health-friendly environment like the Valley of Immortality allows the body to gain more control, instincts often voluntarily relinquish control of the body in many situations.

"Such powerful and strange true energy," Wu Yazi murmured to himself, already having found the answer in his heart.

It's somewhat similar to the Northern Darkness True Qi, but more concealed, infused with the feeling of the Spring of Immortality. Following the sensation of the 'Kunpeng' within his body, the true qi has already spread throughout the entire mountain—no, the surrounding mountain ranges have been completely enveloped, and…

He looked up at the sky, and the moisture carried by his true energy caused the clouds to thicken rapidly.

"Crack!" A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, heralding the beginning of a world transformation.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock"

Wu Yazi reached out and caught a falling raindrop. Under the influence of the Beiming Divine Art's absorption of true energy, the raindrop in his palm absorbed the unclaimed true energy into his body.

After absorbing this unclaimed true energy, his internal force subtly took on a slightly different flavor.

"Click~"

Instinctively stretching his body, the inner demon 'Kunpeng' roared as it tried to tear off its clothes to catch and absorb more of the 'true energy rain' falling from the outside world.

"..."

Wu Yazi forcefully regained control, without losing his composure by tearing off his clothes and becoming completely naked.

The rain, which started as a light drizzle, quickly became heavier and heavier, almost forming a continuous curtain of rain in the blink of an eye. He stood in the rain, letting the rain soak his entire body.

"Master."

The sudden celestial phenomenon was very unusual. Su Xinghe was a little worried about his master who was caught in the inner demon tribulation. When he came in, he saw his master, who was soaked to the bone, and immediately took out an umbrella and walked over quickly.

"It's alright." Wu Yazi shook his head, refusing his disciple's concern, and said, "Let's get soaked in the rain together."

"?" Su Xinghe looked bewildered, but obediently closed the umbrella, letting the rain soak his body.

"What is this?" He quickly discovered the mystery of the rain. While soaking, wisps of peculiar true energy flowed into his body. If it were an ordinary martial artist, he would not be able to detect it. However, as one of the most skilled martial artists in the world, he clearly felt the 'qi' seeping from his skin pores into his limbs and bones, spreading through his meridians, acupoints, muscles, and bones.

Wu Yazi's expression was complicated, and he sighed, "Truly divine skill."

Only Grandpa Zhang could pull off such a method.

-------------------------------------

Qingcheng County, Li Mansion, Inner Courtyard.

"Ahhhh!"

Murong Fu collapsed to the ground, uttering incoherent cries. His eyes darted between clarity and confusion, his body's instincts carrying fragments of his past consciousness. This is why Wu Yazi called him a demon in his heart. The more someone is entangled in certain matters and unwilling to let go, the heavier their demons become. He was like that; his demons were so heavy that he couldn't find himself even when faced with overwhelming pressure and extreme fear.

"Splash~" The rain poured down, and he, who had been looking extremely crazy, suddenly became quiet.

"Wrong, wrong."

Murong Fu said in a low voice, "When the Kunpeng descends to earth, is it still me who descends?" He slowly stood up, tore off his clothes, and let his body come into more contact with the rain. In the dim light, he seemed to hear the Kunpeng that belonged to him inside him excitedly chirping.

"He's back. This rain... must be related to him."

"We cannot stay in the Central Plains."

"We must escape far, far away, the farther the better."

Murong Fu murmured, as if trying to convince himself. The next second, his body fully unfolded amidst crackling sounds, transforming into a tall man who was at least 1.9 meters tall. His powerful true energy resonated with his acupoints, and he used the lightness skill 'Dancing in the Air' to rise into the air, instantly flying to mid-air.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, he flew westward into the sky.

Even though he was so powerful that he thought he was definitely stronger than Zhang Chengyi back then, the fear of his inner demons came from his past self and he couldn't get rid of it. Once he faced Zhang Chengyi, he couldn't even unleash half of his full power. He might even lose control of his hands and feet because of the control.

"Inner demons, inner demons."

Murong Fu revealed a sorrowful expression. The Beiming Liangyi Gong mentioned the problem of inner demon tribulation. He had a high opinion of himself. Back then, when he watched Wu Yazi, who had mastered the Beiming Liangyi Gong, destroy mountains and rivers with every move he made at Leigu Mountain, he was extremely envious. Knowing that he would have a period of clarity every day, he believed that he was not much worse than Wu Yazi.

Without hesitation, he became the first among the book thieves to cultivate the Northern Darkness Yin-Yang Technique. However, he was unable to break through the inner demon tribulation and only regained consciousness for the second time today.

His obsession with restoring his kingdom, his greed for martial arts, his resentment towards his father, his hatred for Zhang Chengyi, and his guilt towards his cousin Wang Yuyan...

On this day, in the land of Shu, immortals soared through the sky, and the era of the Great Martial Kingdom began.

-------------------------------------

The peaks near the Valley of Immortality.

"Crack!"

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Zhang Chengyi stood naked with his hands clasped behind his back. Thick fog billowed from his major acupoints, merging into the clouds and drifting away with the air.

His consciousness soared further and further with his true energy, reaching Dali, Sichuan, the Northwest, the Central Plains, and Jiangnan. The feeling of chasing the clouds and the wind made him somewhat intoxicated.
