Chapter 169: The Path of Invincibility

"Seven hundred years of lifespan."

Meng Zhangqing sensed the vitality of his physical body slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Such a large amount of heaven and earth lifespan was somewhat unexpected.

But upon reflection, it was within reason.

"Counting the lifespan I already had, that's about one thousand years."

Meng Zhangqing's eyes flickered.

A lifespan of a thousand years.

It was about the history of a mortal family spanning more than ten generations.

Therefore, for a major power...

once a Life-Death Realm expert appeared, they could at least remain glorious for five or six hundred years.

The increase in lifespan in the Life-Death Realm only occurred when breaking through from Spirit-Communication to Life-Death; there was none for subsequent minor realms, only the improvement of life-death power.

Like the ninth level of the Life-Death Realm, the life-death power possessed was far beyond that of the first level.

When the two faced off, unless the martial arts foundation of the first-level martial artist was incredibly deep, they would be unable to fight a prolonged battle against the ninth-level martial artist.

After a long time, their vitality would be drained.

Thinking of this...

Meng Zhangqing raised his right hand.

He saw black and white qi appearing in his palm, inseparable, head to tail, with a sense of Taiji.

This was the power of life and death.

Life power devoured the vitality of others to supplement one's own; death power affected the ecology within the opponent's body, aggravating injuries, causing wear and tear, and in serious cases, even affecting lifespan.

Such perverted power was indeed incomparable to lower realms.

"All power comes from the human body itself. Could it be that the human race was truly an innate spirit in the past?"

Meng Zhangqing couldn't help but think.

From the initial Great Meridian Treasure, followed by the Great Aperture Treasure, the Dan Sea Treasure, the Sea of Consciousness Treasure, and now the Longevity Treasure.

These all originated from the human body.

Not from the outside.

After thinking for a while, Meng Zhangqing gave up, because thinking too much at this stage was of no benefit.

"Calculating the time, there are only about two months left until the Southern Border Talent Tournament. Just the journey will take a lot of time, so I must set off quickly."

Meng Zhangqing slowly stood up.

At the same time, he picked up the Red Firmament Sword beside him.

——

Arriving at the Sect Master's main hall.

He saw Xi Yingqing again.

Xi Yingqing was not surprised by Meng Zhangqing's breakthrough.

Everything was within reason.

"How is the Heavenly King Art practiced now?"

Xi Yingqing asked casually.

In fact, he didn't think Meng Zhangqing could have reached any great level; after all, Meng Zhangqing had basically spent all his time on improving his cultivation base.

He estimated there hadn't been much progress in the technique.

"It has already been perfected."

Meng Zhangqing answered honestly.

Only by practicing the Heavenly King Art could one discover its power; the Unity of Heaven and Man brought by the first volume alone could be said to be something countless martial artists dreamed of.

In this state...

whether it was comprehending martial arts or improving cultivation, it was incredibly fast.

It was just a pity that he failed to sense the existence of truth.

So he had to hurry up and practice the second volume.

"?"

One could clearly see Xi Yingqing freeze for a moment, and then a look of shock appeared on his usually calm face.

"Is it true?"

Xi Yingqing recovered and asked.

"Yes."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

At the same time, he operated the technique, entering the Unity of Heaven and Man.

His figure instantly blurred, merging into heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Xi Yingqing subconsciously clenched his hands.

A look of shock flashed in his eyes.

He had actually practiced it to perfection.

How long had it been?

"It seems you practiced it to perfection before the Life-Death Realm."

Xi Yingqing took a deep breath.

He still remembered that he seemed to have only completely mastered it when he was at the third level of the Life-Death Realm.

He had also spent a long time practicing it before that.

And now, Meng Zhangqing had only spent a few months at most.

One could only say that he was worthy of being a child of fortune.

Coming back to his senses, a satisfied smile appeared on Xi Yingqing's face.

It seemed he had to greatly increase his estimation of Meng Zhangqing, otherwise, his state of mind of nearly two hundred years might not be able to remain stable.

"Just luck."

Meng Zhangqing said casually.

To this, Xi Yingqing smiled and shook his head.

Perhaps it was luck.

But that didn't matter.

"In that case, I will pass on the second volume to you. The difficulty of practicing this volume is much higher than the first, but I have already prepared the resources for you."

Xi Yingqing took out another storage ring.

Clearly.

He had already made all the arrangements for Meng Zhangqing's subsequent cultivation.

Whoosh~

The sea of flowers surged, just like before, countless petals dancing and turning into a jade slip.

Meng Zhangqing took it skillfully.

He pressed it to his brow.

In an instant, countless golden characters surged into his sea of consciousness.

It was exactly the "Undying True Logic Heavenly King Art" (Volume 2)!

Compared to the first volume, the second volume was naturally much more obscure and profound.

The main content of this volume...

was to build the Eye of Truth.

The first volume only relied on one's own mental will to sense, which could be considered a relatively crude method.

But the second volume was more refined.

Tempering the mental will to make it transform, and then through visualizing ancient objects, constructing the Eye of Truth in the sea of consciousness!

Using the Eye of Truth...

it would be easier to approach the truth.

It was easy to say, but in reality, it was very difficult.

First, one's spiritual cultivation had to be very high, otherwise, one would have no qualifications to visualize ancient objects.

Secondly, how rare were ancient objects?

Calling them rare in the world would not be an exaggeration.

However, in terms of spiritual cultivation, Meng Zhangqing believed he was barely enough, and as for ancient objects, the Sect Master had already prepared them for him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Meng Zhangqing took the storage ring.

"The things you need are all inside. When practicing, it is best to find a quiet place."

0 .... 0

Xi Yingqing said with a smile, "I hope that when you return next time, you will have already mastered it."

"I will work hard."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

"The Southern Border Talent Tournament is a grand event held once every ten years in the Southern Border, and it represents great significance."

"If it were before, at merely the Spirit-Communication Realm, I might not have thought much, but now that you have stepped into the Life-Death Realm, I hope you defeat all opponents and take first place!"

"Forge an invincible posture!"

Speaking of this, a kind of indescribable temperament surged on Xi Yingqing, full of dominance, confidence, and invincibility!

It was as if no one in the whole world could stop his footsteps!

"Martial arts cultivation is inherently a path of contention. Only by constantly defeating opponents, especially the strong, can one condense an invincible heart and invincible faith. This will be of great benefit to your future path!"

Xi Yingqing's white hair danced wildly, and divine light seemed to flicker in his eyes.

On him...

Meng Zhangqing seemed to truly see that momentum.

He also saw many figures.

And those people had all fallen under the Sect Master's fists, fighting all the way to the mountain peak, until... he looked down on everyone!

"Go and contend boldly, no need to fear other forces!"

"I am behind you, and the sect is behind you."

"You can gallop freely throughout the entire Southern Border!"

Xi Yingqing stood with his hands behind his back.

His words were extremely firm.

It seemed he wanted Meng Zhangqing to unload his psychological burden, completely relax, and walk an invincible path!

"I understand."

Meng Zhangqing took a deep breath.

He slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, his eyes were like torches.
