Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Li Xia tried hard to recall the somewhat unfamiliar emotions...

Gradually, the green light that had been calmly lingering around the liver suddenly began to move, gradually boiling as the anger in his heart surged.

The verdant wood energy between the liver lobes immediately surged, like wildly growing grass and trees in spring, instantly filling the entire liver meridian, and even the muscles and bones throughout the body were covered with a warm, emerald-green halo.

This is the "anger generating liver wood", which is completely different from his previous feeling of mobilizing the essence. Before, he used his will to forcibly drive the essence of wood.

This time, however, it was a meeting of divine will, and naturally, the essence of wood began to boil.

When the wood energy reached its peak, Li Xia did not rush to guide it to his heart, but instead slowly restrained his anger.

The heart fire belongs to joy... so I need to guide my emotions further towards joy...

This was easy. It was as if several treasure chests appeared before Li Xia's eyes. With just a thought, these treasure chests opened one after another.

In an instant, a dazzling light engulfed everything in front of us, and everything exploded!

They even obtained a few heaven-defying artifacts that ignored fate and talent, forcibly increasing luck value to the current rank limit!

Almost immediately, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, and even the outside of his thigh trembled.

It felt like I was so beautiful I was about to burst into tears.

Pshaw! What business is it of yours if I'm dreaming about increasing my luck stat!

Li Xia suddenly became unhappy. This was a stroke of genius in his shift from joy to anger, yet it had a powerful effect in an instant!

The pale green light that had been lingering in the liver and viscera naturally flowed towards the heart, following the energy pathways between the internal organs.

Like water flowing in a canal, or firewood sliding into the furnace, the verdant wood vapor touched the crimson flames in the heart, but did not dissipate as before.

There were not many rebounds.

It really did "ignite" little by little, slowly.

Under Li Xia's increasingly fixed gaze, the original liver wood energy actually transformed into nourishment, gradually merging into the heart fire.

The originally weak and flickering crimson flames gradually grew stronger, and even the pulse in my heart felt warm and relaxed.

[Executioner, you are transforming essence through the mutual generation of the five elements]

The essence of wood is currently being converted into the essence of fire.

[Conversion in progress...]

Become!

A surge of ecstasy suddenly welled up in his heart, and driven by this joy, even the flames within his heart palace rose a few degrees higher.

But then he gradually calmed down and did not rush to proceed. Instead, he carefully observed the condition of his internal organs.

The method is clearly correct now; I have indeed found a way to transform between the five elements.

But the same problem also emerged...

That means the conversion efficiency is pitifully low. According to current estimates, it takes ten points of wood essence to convert into one point of fire essence.

This conversion efficiency is clearly problematic. According to his conjecture, the mutual generation between the five elements should not be so low.

So where is the problem?

Did you not complete a full cycle of the Five Elements?

Li Xia fell into deep thought again until a notification popped up in front of her that the acceleration time of the Time Chamber had run out, which startled her from her reverie.

He walked out of the circular time chamber and, just like before, buried the question in his heart once again.

If you can't figure it out right now, then don't think about it.

Li Xia looked up at the sky and said:

"return."

Soft light descended from the sky, and everything before my eyes was a vast expanse of white.

Only the prompts from the Hall of Light were so clear.

Welcome back to... the Hall of Light!

Chapter 8: Departure! Extreme Evil: The Primal World

The once quiet and desolate personal space of Hall Two is now much more lively.

The little knight and Hel also moved into his personal space. Anyway, it was very convenient to travel back and forth between the personal space and the Asgard Palace. They could go back anytime they needed to.

The three little ones, who had just returned to the hall, immediately took their fourth brother and Hel out to have some fun.

"Let me tell you, I'm quite influential outside!"

Especially those clubs, they can get credited to their accounts just by mentioning Grandpa Long's name!

"Thanks to the kindness of my brothers in the underworld, they bestowed upon me the title of 'Timely Rain in the Hall of Fame,' and also appointed me as the vice president of the 'Ox and Horse Alliance.'"

It boasts loudly and arrogantly, and mentioning its name can indeed get you credited to your account, but only for the cheapest drinks, and there's a limit; once you reach 1,000 points, it has to clear the account.

This was something Aowu secretly set up himself. When it comes to being thrifty and managing the household, Aowu is quite competent as the head steward.

Watching them leave in a lively manner, Li Xia waved his hand, and a stream of light flew out from his sleeve, slowly unfolding in mid-air.

The landscape painting trembled slightly; although it was a landscape painting, the maze on it was also unusually realistic.

With a flick of his wrist, another shiny coin appeared.

'Ding'

With a crisp sound, it struck the painting, instantly transforming into a streak of light that darted into the landscape painting.

Li Xia rose gracefully and flew into the air.

While the pinnacle of skill has been reached, it is merely the initial stage. After breaking through the upper limit, there are still many more upper limits waiting to be reached.

What he has come to understand is only what has just emerged after breaking through the upper limit. It can be said that he has climbed over a high mountain and seen a new landscape, but there is still more scenery in the distance.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go in practicing the ultimate skill.

He stood in the very center of the maze, closed his eyes, and slowly assumed a fighting stance.

Li Xia stood in the center of the maze, his feet slowly separating to shoulder width, his shoulders relaxed and elbows dropped, his breath sinking to his dantian, his posture rising as if embracing the moon.

He moved extremely slowly, his waist and hips leading his body in a circular motion, his hands moving like silk threads or cotton, his palms seemingly open yet not quite, stirring in the air.

Her body moved freely, her waist and arms turning like flowing clouds and water, all exuding gentleness, like a willow swaying in the wind, without the slightest bit of strength.

Within the muscles and bones, the energy is already intertwined and hidden, not released. This is the supreme essence of Tai Chi Chuan, which is seemingly soft but actually hard, with power contained in the bones.

As Li Xia shifted his body and opened and closed his hands, a blurry, semi-transparent phantom gradually appeared between his palms.

The illusory figure moved with the movements, seemingly inseparable from his hands, hazy and indistinct, like the distorted air being scorched by flames. It had no physical form, yet it could be seen through the distortion.

Like a reflection in water, it follows the circular trajectory of the fist.

Before long, the twisted shape in front of Li Xia's chest and abdomen slowly condensed, actually becoming a round and full ball of air, as if sealed and closed, like holding a large ball of air in one's arms.

With both hands resting on the sphere, it neither sinks nor disperses when pushed, and even the surrounding dust is repelled by the air mass, slowly circling the sphere.

Li Xia slowly brought his hands back to his abdomen, and then his whole body suddenly trembled.

The round, powerful energy suddenly contracted inward as his hands pressed down, then silently dispersed into his limbs and bones, leaving only a faint ripple of energy that swept across the ground beneath his feet.

As soon as he finished his Tai Chi stance, his breath remained steady, and his footwork suddenly deepened, instantly transforming his aura into one of fierce power and dominance.

With a powerful stomp of both feet, the entire space seemed to explode with thunder—Bajiquan!

Li Xia's eyes widened. Ever since he comprehended the connection between the Five Elements and emotions, he had begun to try to connect his emotions into his fist techniques.

At that moment, he felt a surge of anger erupting in his chest, his liver glowing with a bluish light, and his right fist, drawing this anger, shot forward from his waist.

"Oh!"

The fist tore through the air, and an invisible force burst forth from the fist, crashing into the wall of the maze and exploding. The surrounding air currents rippled violently, slightly distorted by the force of the fist.

Following closely behind, the tiger climbed the mountain, its fists striking forward alternately, its footsteps landing like heavy hammers, causing the stone slabs to tremble slightly, and a faint layer of internal energy appeared on its body.

With each punch, the internal energy on his body surged, accompanied by a sharp "crackling" sound.

The mere vibration of the physical body caused the air to churn within a few meters.

One set of boxing routines, one different boxing intent—Li Xia repeated this monotonous and lonely practice within the landscape painting.

Only after this acceleration ended did it drift out of the picture and land in the hall.

His eyes were extremely bright, and his entire spirit seemed to have been tempered by fire. After circulating his energy in the hall for a while to calm himself down, his extremely sharp aura finally subsided.

Li Xia decided not to practice any further; too much of a good thing can be bad, and a balance between work and rest is necessary.

I turned on the huge screen and found a Stephen Chow comedy, which Li Xia had watched many times before and couldn't help but laugh every time.

But this time, he inexplicably saw sadness in it.

The housekeeping robot brought over the mixed drinks, and he completely relaxed, collapsing into the soft sofa, just like he used to be.

On a rainy weekend afternoon, I listened to the rain outside the window, sipped my wine, and watched a movie without any distractions.

Gradually, in this peaceful atmosphere, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a long-lost peaceful sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the loud, boisterous voices of the three little ones came from the doorway, along with Hel's muffled words:

"Brother, you're amazing! So many people are asking you to drink!"

"Little Star, let me tell you, although you look old and experienced, you're actually still very young!"

"The waters of the hall are too deep for you to handle. You need me to guide you through it, understand?" Aowu said in a condescending tone.

They entered the hall in a lively manner, but when they saw Li Xia resting on the sofa, their voices immediately became quiet.

"Shh, the boss is resting—"

"came back?"

The lights in the hall gradually came on, and Li Xia stood up. Although he had only slept for less than an hour, he felt refreshed, as if his whole body had been cleansed.

It was incredibly clear, as if every pore was open, greedily breathing in the outside air.

"Boss, we've got something!"

Aowu immediately rushed over: "Regarding the resource star that Madao mentioned, there's been progress on the admission tickets. The black marketeer said they're in contact."

The other side doesn't seem keen on selling; they need more time. Maybe we'll get something when we come back next time.

"Okay, you can keep an eye on this."

Looking at the three happy little ones and the tall and short duo, Li Xia suddenly frowned and said:

"Hey, how long has it been since you took a shower?"

Black Charcoal froze, his ears perked up, and he turned to run, but Li Xia raised and hooked his hand—a simple action that seemed to possess some kind of magic.

The air seemed to obey his movements; Black Charcoal flew backwards, landing squarely in Li Xia's hand.

"Dragon-Capturing Hand???"

Awoo stared blankly, naturally able to see that its boss hadn't used any power at all, but had simply used the strength of its body, yet somehow managed to stir up the air as well.

A natural suction force was created, pulling the second child along.

"At the pinnacle of skill, one's control over one's entire body has reached a level of subtlety, something I've just realized."

Li Xia, holding Hei Tan by the scruff of the neck, waved to the others:

"Let's go take a bath."

Behind the manor, a pool about half the size of a basketball court has been dug out, filled with steaming hot spring water.

A stone dragon lay on the edge of the pool, spouting a gurgling stream of water.

Li Xia stretched out her arms over the edge of the pool, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and savored this wonderful moment. Hei Tan had resigned himself to his fate, letting the wet hair on his body stick to his skin.

The little knight had never taken a bath before. As soon as he entered the water, he sank to the bottom with a gurgling sound, leaving only a series of bubbles.

Just as Li Xia was about to pull it out, a phantom-like shadow suddenly appeared in the water, looking remarkably similar to Li Xia.

The shadow, its head bowed and looking into the water, suddenly bent down, lifted it up, and placed it aside. It sat on the bank, bewildered, its two round, dark eyes suddenly curving upwards.
