Chapter 28

There are specialties in arts and professions, and there is an order in hearing the Dao. Letting professional people do professional things is a theory Lin Xian has always believed in.

If it were any other system, dissecting Spirit-Restraining and General-Sending would still have a few small problems.

System 10086 doesn't need to worry at all, because the Under One Person world is its home turf.

At the very beginning, System 10086 was the system responsible for Under One Person, but it had a slight deviation and traveled to another "Under One Person"—"The Ten-Thousand-Year Second, Desolate Ancient Holy Body."

Analyzing a Spirit-Restraining and General-Sending is not something that can be easily handled.

The beginner gift package, one of the Eight Miraculous Skills, the Origin of Qi, cracked the ultimate mystery—Return to Origin—at the start.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

System, activate!

That ethereal and distant voice rang in his ears. The most basic function of System 10086 activated, like a supercomputer, deducing and analyzing every structure of Spirit-Restraining and General-Sending.

【1%... 28%... 56%... 81%... 99%...】

The progress bar moved bit by bit, finally stalling at 99%. It suddenly jammed, seemingly encountering some difficulty, unable to move forward half a step. Lin Xian saw this and couldn't help but encourage: "System, we rolled out of the Chaos Sea; be spirited, good job, don't lose face!"

The rustling sound of electricity rose and fell. System 10086 couldn't help but complain: "Host, act like a person; don't be too lazy."

From the Origin of Qi to opening the Bitter Sea, from breaking through the Life Spring to Spirit-Restraining and General-Sending, it almost never saw the host doing any work.

There was always an illusion that it was the host and Lin Xian was the system.

"A gentleman's nature is not different; he is good at borrowing from things."

Lin Xian said in his heart, indifferently: "Don't worry about these details, as long as the result is correct. Longevity doesn't ask about the source, becoming an immortal doesn't ask about the origin."

"Damn!" System 10086 couldn't help but curse: "It's not you doing the work, of course you don't ask."

"System, don't be angry."

Lin Xian smiled and drew a big picture: "Don't you want to become a high-level system?"

"What does that have to do with the Eight Miraculous Skills." System 10086 refused the CPU. Even if there were an opportunity to advance to a high-level system, it would only be in the Shrouding the Heavens universe, in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, in the Boundary Sea, not on a tiny Earth.

Yesterday's things died yesterday, today's things are born today. It is no longer the low-level System 10086, but a mid-level system, Niuhulu·Check-in·10086!

"Although the Earth is small, the universe is vast and boundless."

Lin Xian smiled slightly and found an excuse to ask Feng Zhenghao for an observatory as a place for closed-door cultivation.

Using instruments to observe astronomical phenomena and pointing at the vast starry sky, Lin Xian said meaningfully: "The immortals of the Under One Person world are not battle immortals; they are more like immortals who merge with the Dao of heaven and earth and touch a certain authority."

"Using one's own small world to influence the universe's great heaven and earth can be called internal and external resonance; this is the Inner Scene."

"The great universe is not just the Earth, but also the billions of stars and the immeasurable galaxy."

"Inner Scene manifested externally, becoming the master of a small world, can be called a Qi Bureau."

"The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Heaven-Reaching Valley is a Qi Bureau; isn't this vast and boundless universe also a Qi Bureau?"

System 10086 fell silent. According to the host Lin Xian's deduction, although the immortals of this world are weak, they can use themselves as a fulcrum to pry the power of the Earth, or even the universe.

This is not a gap in energy, but the application of a certain rule.

"Speculation is ultimately just speculation." System 10086 retorted: "Without empirical evidence, it will ultimately come to nothing."

"No, I have evidence. Look at this." Lin Xian operated the Origin of Qi, and a pure and hazy white light appeared on his fingertips, saying in a deep voice: "The Origin of Qi practiced to the deepest level touches the origin, and what is nurtured is the Innate Qi."

"The Innate Qi is the foundation of the cultivation of extraordinary beings in this world. Even for innate extraordinary beings, their abilities are evolved from the Innate Qi."

"Does it have the flavor of a mortal body giving birth to ten thousand bodies?"

The mortal body is not the strongest, but it is the foundation.

What is the foundation? It is the mother body, it is the realm, it is the origin.

The mortal body can transform into ten thousand bodies. The mortal body combined with the mortal body, under countless combinations, can give birth to the Innate Chaos Body, can give birth to the Innate First-Generation Holy Body, can give birth to all constitutions.

This is the mother of ten thousand bodies; this is the foundation.

"The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the qi is harmonized."

Lin Xian returned the Innate One Qi to his Wheel and Sea Secret Realm, repairing the cracks in the Wheel of Life. A white light appeared faintly in his eyes, and he whispered: "We can call this one the Innate One Qi, or we can call it the Longevity Immortal Essence, the Innate Essence!"

System 10086 vibrated. The system clan walks in the Chaos Sea and looks down on the myriad heavens and worlds; naturally, it knows what the Innate Essence is!

Essence and Qi are divided into acquired and innate.

Acquired essence is for nourishment, innate essence is for generation.

Acquired essence is the essence, spiritual energy, and primordial energy known to the world. It needs to be refined to be obtained, filling the spirit and nourishing life. It finally turns into one's own magic power. If the magic power is overwhelming, one can burn the sky and boil the sea, catch stars and take the moon.

The Under One Person space-time is a typical world with thin acquired essence, so there are only minor spells, no great supernatural powers to move mountains and fill seas.

Innate essence accompanies the birth of the human body and is the beginning of the individual's heaven and earth. When the form is complete, the spirit is born; when the form withers, the spirit is extinguished.

Innate One Qi, Innate Essence, Longevity Immortal Essence, are all talking about the same thing. It is the 'one' in 'The Dao gives birth to one.'

Innate essence is limited. The initial value is one. In the process of time passing and continuous growth, it is damaged. When it is exhausted, one returns to zero, which is the time of death.

Some people are unwilling to wait for death and yearn for longevity, so they seek immortals and ask about the Dao, borrowing the false to cultivate the true, comprehending the creation of heaven and earth. Although they have not attained immortality, their physical bodies and spirits have been sublimated, and the pool containing innate essence has expanded, thus they have been able to prolong their lives and master extraordinary power.

This type of person is a practitioner.

A practitioner's innate essence is vast and can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but it is ultimately not infinite and will eventually be exhausted one day.

How to solve this problem is the road to becoming an immortal, the method of longevity.

The two roads to becoming an immortal that Lin Xian currently knows are: one is the longevity method of the Immortal Ancient Era. When the realm reaches the True Immortal level, the consumption of innate essence reaches an extremely weak degree, and one can use the longevity substances produced by the universe to supplement this consumption. This in and out forms a perfect balance.

As long as the longevity substances are still there, the True Immortal will live forever, live as long as heaven and earth, and shine as long as the sun and moon.

It can even be said that as long as there are enough longevity substances, even mortals can live forever and become immortal citizens.

Unfortunately, this road is cut off. At the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths collapsed. Although the Desolate Heavenly Emperor completed the myriad Daos, the will of heaven cut itself with a knife and no longer produced longevity substances, but instead wanted to inhale them back to repair the origin of the universe.

This led to the cutting off of the True Immortal road in the great universe. Even a Great Emperor can only live for more than ten thousand years in one lifetime. Despite possessing incredible power, they can only die of old age.

But things are never absolute. Under the will of heaven, there is a glimmer of life. There are talented people who struggle to survive in the Dharma-Ending Age environment and finally opened up another Red Dust Immortal road.

Since the great universe does not produce longevity substances, then produce longevity immortal essence yourself, and form a small universe within your body. When the longevity immortal essence in your body accumulates to a certain level, you can undergo transformation in your twilight years and live a brand-new second life.

Just like this, using every method to live, transforming life after life. When one day the longevity substances produced in the body can completely offset the wear and tear of time, that is the true Red Dust Immortal.

Once the Red Dust Immortal status is attained, heaven and earth may perish, but I will not; the sun and moon may decay, but I will not.

Don't talk about the Dharma-Ending Age that doesn't produce longevity substances; even in the Spirit-Extinction Age that doesn't even have acquired essence, the Red Dust Immortal can still live forever.

Because he is in the red dust, and he himself is the Immortal Domain.

"And the foundation of all this is it." Lin Xian said in a deep tone: "Innate One Qi, Innate Essence, Longevity Immortal Essence."

"Now System, you tell me, is this 'one' important?"
