When I was in the Sethan world, I had already cultivated it to the third layer.” Wang Yu did not answer directly, but instead explained briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that you mention it, I understand—but the upper echelons only gave us the first-layer cultivation incantation. I wonder why they didn’t transmit the second-layer method.” Li Shiyi replied with a hint of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t the upper echelons’ fault. To cultivate beyond the second layer of the Black Tiger Breathing Method, you need a special ‘sha energy’ unique to the Sethan world as an aid—otherwise, even with the incantation, it’s useless.” Wang Yu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see. Speaking of the Sethan world, I’ve heard some call it the Immortal Cultivation world, filled with countless inexplicable mystical artifacts and bizarre arts far beyond imagination—is that true?” Li Shiyi nodded, then suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu glanced at the elderly man in the tangzhuang, his expression unchanged as he countered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Li, did you call me here just to ask about the Immortal Cultivation world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Number One, you really are sharp. I do want to learn about the supernatural powers of that Immortal Cultivation world.” Li Shiyi replied, slightly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given your position, you should know better than to ask such questions. Yet you came to me anyway—this matter must be truly vital to you, enough to risk violating discipline.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do Mu Lan and Meng Jiang know you came to see me? With your abilities, no action inside this small submarine could possibly escape the notice of the other two.” Wang Yu rubbed his chin, thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Number One, they do know I came to see you. In fact, I’m asking on their behalf too—we want to know: does the Immortal Cultivation world have any miraculous items or abilities that restore lifespan or extend longevity?” Li Shiyi’s expression shifted several times before he finally sighed and answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only this question?” Wang Yu wasn’t particularly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Don’t tell us anything else about the Immortal Cultivation world—we don’t want to know. Just answer ‘yes’ or ‘no.’” Li Shiyi’s expression turned solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Items that restore health and extend lifespan—though extremely rare—do exist in the Immortal Cultivation world.” Wang Yu looked at Li Shiyi’s aged face and nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent! So it really exists. I knew heaven never seals off all paths.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, Number One, we’d like to make a deal with you—would you be willing?” Li Shiyi’s face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can guess roughly what you want. But before that, I have two questions—I hope Brother Li will answer them first.” Wang Yu spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Number One, ask freely. As long as it doesn’t involve state secrets, I’ll tell you everything I know.” Li Shiyi replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Li, I understand you’re seeking a solution because your lifespan has been depleted. But Mu Lan and Meng Jiang look young and strong—why would they agree to you contacting me? Do they also need to restore their lifespan?” Wang Yu asked his first question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right. Mu Lan and Meng Jiang appear normal on the outside, with no signs of aging—but their vital energy also drained significantly during that surgery. Though their procedures were more successful, their internal organs suffered severe deterioration—they’ve each lost at least twenty to thirty years of lifespan.” Li Shiyi hesitated slightly, then spoke honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, if that’s the case, it makes sense they’d silently allow you to come to me.” Wang Yu murmured, clearly believing Li Shiyi’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first encountered the Divine Warrior Team, he had secretly scanned Mu Lan and Meng Jiang with his spiritual sense—their internal organs were indeed unlike those of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally assumed it was due to their abilities, but now he saw it was a side effect of that special surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. If all three of us weren’t facing the same fate, we could never have broken discipline to approach you so recklessly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, your identity is too unique. Before we departed, the upper echelons specifically warned all three of us.” Li Shiyi replied slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand the upper echelons value you highly. My second question: your first ability, ‘Super Vision,’ lets you slow down perceived objects by a thousand or even a hundred thousand times, allowing you to see lightning attacks. But seeing isn’t enough—how can your body keep up with your eyes to dodge at the same thousandfold speed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, your previous dodges of lightning were remarkably calm—you didn’t move with the frantic rhythm of someone using superhuman speed.” Wang Yu stared at Li Shiyi, asking his greatest doubt word by word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, after activating the overdrive mode, his hyper-amplified senses could also slow down surrounding events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never been able to use this ability in actual combat because, while his perception could adjust, his body’s nerves simply couldn’t keep pace with such changes—he could only watch helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Li Shiyi before him had achieved this, he was both astonished and thrilled—and had held back until now to finally ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shiyi paused, seemingly surprised by the question, but after a brief moment of thought, replied seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a good question. No ordinary person could react a thousand or hundred thousand times faster. But without such superhuman reflexes, you could never keep up with Super Vision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Number One, you’ve forgotten—my lower limbs aren’t flesh and blood anymore. They’re semi-mechanical prosthetics fused with the pinnacle of our nation’s most advanced technology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean this mechanical prosthetic lets you react at a thousandfold speed? That seems unlikely—after all, you just said it only enhances your abilities by dozens of times.” Wang Yu rubbed his chin, unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I also said my original legs were far beyond ordinary human capability. And the ‘dozens of times’ enhancement I mentioned was under normal conditions. If I risk damaging the prosthetics by activating overload mode, I can boost performance by over a hundred times.” Li Shiyi replied with deep implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Overload mode?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s true, it might explain it—but what about your movements when dodging the lightning?” Wang Yu thought for a moment, nodded, then pressed further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, that’s tied to an ancient martial leg technique passed down in my Li family.” Li Shiyi smiled faintly in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.565Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c6a9a7aaf06eb6946c095476e1c1ac4406b0e56b32972043ddcbef30ffc09926","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-442","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-440",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
