Chapter 166: Stepping into Life and Death, Seven Hundred Years of Heaven and Earth Longevity!
Southern Genius Battle.
It represented the competition between prefectures.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Tianling Prefecture to only send disciples from the Tai Xuan Sect.
Flame Sun Valley, Giant Spirit Sect, and Wind and Cloud City all had the qualifications to compete.
However, their performances had never been outstanding.
They were usually ranked at the bottom.
It’s more about participating than winning.
After so many years, they had become accustomed to it.
It’s just that every time they went, they get mocked, which was really unpleasant.
The genius battle location waslocated in Tianxuan Prefecture, the strongest prefecture in the southern region!
The area was quite vast, almost three times that of Tianling Prefecture.
Rich in resources and talented people, as expected.
Because of such an area, Tianxuan Prefecture had many advantages from the beginning that other prefectures find hard to match.
It seemed to be favored by fortune.
Every few years, extremely outstanding talents appear, displaying an invincible form.
As for other prefectures, only Tianshu and Tianji can barely keep up.
Tianling Prefecture was very far from Tianxuan Prefecture.
Even with the help of cloud boats, it took more than a month, so they must set off in advance.
According to the sect’s plan, they should have set off long ago.
But Meng Changqing was still in seclusion, so they could only wait.
In the cultivation hall, Meng Changqing still sat cross-legged.
The pervasive spiritual pressure, vast and majestic, clearly showed he had reached the peak of the Divine Attainment Realm.
This was all thanks to that wisp of sixth-level demon energy.
The spiritual insights it contained were enormous.
If the Divine Attainment Realm had more than nine levels, he might have gone further.
Spiritual cultivation actually had no peak.
It can always rise continuously.
It’s just that in the current cultivation system, the ancients set it at nine levels.
Therefore, Meng Changqing’s spiritual attainment has already surpassed other warriors of the same realm!
Slowly opening his eyes, Meng Changqing exhaled a long breath.
Actually, he reached the peak of the ninth level days ago, but these days he has been adjusting his state, preparing for a major breakthrough.
And now everything was ready!
“The Dao of Life and Death!” A bright light flashed in Meng Changqing’s eyes.
Strictly speaking, his involvement in the Dao of Life and Death started long ago.
That was the “Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Technique”!
Absorb life force, transform into Sacred Spirit imprints, absorb death energy, convert into slaughter sword energy!
Life and death, a continuous cycle.
However, relying solely on the sword technique’s life and death insights was not enough.
It required a deeper understanding!
Stepping into the Life and Death Realm required opening the life aperture and death aperture around the heart.
Both were hidden very deep, like the sea of consciousness.
They only appear when one’s understanding of the Dao of Life and Death reached a certain level.
“Let’s begin.” Meng Changqing withdrew his mind.
Directly operated the Undying Truth Heavenly King Art, entering a state of unity with heaven and man.
His innate superior comprehension was terrifyingly enhanced at this moment!
Countless insights about life and death quickly surfaced in his mind!
Densely packed.
Endless.
“The death of grass and trees, silent and unnoticed…
“The death of ants, insignificant…
“The death of living beings, the limit of lifespan…
“The setting sun, the death of heaven and earth…
“Life and death are not opposites, but the cycle of all things, and the continuation of each other…
“Withered trees encounter spring…
“The first sun breaks the dawn…
“All things are born…
“…
“Life and death are mere forms, eternity is the true essence…
“…”
Meng Changqing murmured.
His body began to gradually emit the intent of life and death, becoming increasingly intense.
Meanwhile, around his heart, there was a squirming sensation, and mysterious light flowed.
Two apertures appeared, one black and one white.
As Meng Changqing’s understanding of life and death deepened, the apertures began to glow.
It felt like a long drought meeting rain, as if they were about to come back to life!
Meng Changqing had no energy to focus on these.
At this moment, he was completely immersed in his insights.
Time passed bit by bit.
About half an hour later, the two apertures shone like stars in the night sky, brilliant and dazzling.
Meng Changqing’s body was filled with the intense and almost tangible intent of life and death!
Crack!
In an instant!
A sound like breaking echoed inside!
Meng Changqing’s aura surged!
He had clearly stepped into a higher level!
The Life and Death Realm!
Hoo!
The surrounding void trembled, and a miraculous scene unfolded.
Threads of white mist appeared.
They looked full of vitality.
One thread, two threads… up to seven hundred threads!
This was the longevity of heaven and earth!
After opening the life aperture, one could seize the longevity of heaven and earth.
It was equivalent to integrating part of the vitality of heaven and earth into oneself!
Depending on the depth of one’s insights, the longevity obtained varies.
The deeper the understanding, the more longevity one gains!
Like seven hundred threads, that is a full seven hundred years!
Even Xi Yingqing would be shocked by this, as it was indeed too much. Generally, gaining a couple hundred years was about average. More would be three or four hundred years.
But seven hundred years was indeed rare.
But Meng Changqing’s foundation was extraordinarily deep.
He had the “Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Technique” as a foundation, superior comprehension, and the unity of heaven and man.
Such a result was within reason.
Xi Yingqing didn’t have such a deep foundation back then.
For the first volume of the Undying Truth Heavenly King Art, he only mastered it in the Life and Death Realm.
The dense white mist crazily drilled into Meng Changqing’s body, making his physique increasingly vibrant and full of vitality.
“Life and Death Realm, First Level!” Meng Changqing suddenly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, the intent of life and death continuously alternated.
Enough to trap those with weak wills in endless illusions.
Experiencing countless lives and deaths in an instant, with no end.
The Life and Death Realm not only increased longevity and enhanced recovery ability but also mainly reflected in attacks, each carrying the effects of the life aperture and death aperture.
That was the deprivation of vitality and the infusion of death energy.
Therefore, in battles, the Life and Death Realm could almost crush the Divine Attainment Realm. As long as they fought, the opponent’s vitality would be affected.
Over time. even without the full force of the Life and Death Realm, the Divine Attainment Realm would become lifeless and turn into a corpse.
As for battles within the same realm, as long as the gap in minor realms wasn’t too large, it depended on each other’s martial foundation!
