Chapter 403: Stepping Into Life and Death, Seven Hundred Years of Lifespan

The Southern Region's Talented Youth Battle.

It represents the competition between provinces.

Therefore, Tianling Province naturally could not send disciples solely from the Great Xuan Sect.

Yan Yang Valley, Juling Sect, and Fengyun City all had the qualification to compete.

It's just that their performance every time was not very good.

They basically always ranked at the very bottom.

The main point was simply to participate.

Anyway, after so many years, they had long grown accustomed to it.

It was just that every time they went, they were mocked, which was truly unpleasant.

The location of the Talented Youth Battle.

It is situated in Tianxuan Province.

The strongest great province in the Southern Region!

Its territory is quite vast, almost three times that of Tianling Province.

Rich in natural treasures and inhabited by outstanding people; nothing more, nothing less.

Precisely because of such a region, Tianxuan Province possessed advantages from the very beginning that many other great provinces could not compare to.

It seemed as if fortune favored it.

Every few years, exceptionally talented youths would appear.

Displaying an invincible posture.

Among the other great provinces, only Tianshu and Tianji could barely keep up.

Tianling Province is extremely far from Tianxuan Province.

Even with the aid of a Cloud Boat, it would take more than a month, so they must depart in advance.

According to the Zong Sect's plan.

They should have departed long ago.

But Meng Zhangqing was still in seclusion, so it had to be postponed and waited for.

——

Inside the Cultivation Hall.

Meng Zhangqing remained seated cross-legged.

The spiritual pressure filling the air was immense and powerful, clearly indicating he had reached the peak of the Divine Connection Realm.

This was all thanks to that wisp of Level Six Heavenly Demon Qi.

The spiritual comprehension it contained was too vast.

If the Divine Connection Realm did not have only nine levels, he might have been able to ascend another level.

Spiritual cultivation base actually has no peak.

It has always been capable of continuous ascent.

It is just that within the current cultivation system, the ancients set the limit at nine levels.

Therefore, Meng Zhangqing's spiritual attainment at this moment actually surpassed that of martial artists of the same realm!

He slowly opened his eyes.

Meng Zhangqing exhaled a long breath lightly.

In fact, several days ago he had already stepped onto the peak of the ninth level; these past few days were merely for adjusting his state and preparing for the great breakthrough.

Now, finally, everything is ready!

"The Dao of Life and Death!"

A bright color flashed in Meng Zhangqing's eyes.

Strictly speaking, his involvement with the Dao of Life and Death had begun long ago.

That was the Holy Spirit Slaughter Sword Art!

Absorbing life energy to transform into Holy Spirit Imprints, absorbing death energy to convert into Slaughter Sword Qi!

Life and death, cycling endlessly.

However, relying solely on the life-and-death comprehension of the Sword Art was still insufficient.

A deeper understanding was needed!

To step into the Life and Death Realm, one must open the Life Orifices and Death Orifices located around the heart.

Like the Sea of Consciousness, they are hidden extremely deep.

They will only manifest when one's comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death reaches a certain degree.

"Begin."

Meng Zhangqing withdrew his mind.

He directly activated the Heavenly King Art and entered the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

His innate comprehension, already of a super-grade level, received a terrifying boost at this moment!

Countless comprehensions regarding life and death rapidly surfaced in his mind!

Dense and numerous.

Unceasing and continuous.

"The death of grass and trees, drifting silently..."

"The death of ants, insignificant and tiny..."

"The death of living beings, the limit of their lifespan..."

The sun sinks, called the death of heaven and earth...

Life and death are not opposites, but the cycle of all things, and each one's continuation...

Withered wood meets spring...

The first light breaks dawn...

All things are born...

Life and death are but forms; eternity is the true truth...

Meng Zhangqing murmured.

A sense of life and death also began to spread across his body, growing rapidly more intense.

At the same time.

Around his heart, a stirring occurred, and mysterious light flowed.

(cjad) Then two acupoints appeared.

Black and white.

As Meng Zhangqing's understanding of life and death deepened, the two great acupoints began to glow with faint radiance.

It felt like a long drought broken by sweet rain.
