For five consecutive days and nights, Yu Xiu remained in the Inner Courtyard Scripture Pavilion without taking a single step away.

When tired, he would meditate; when hungry, he would eat a Medicinal Pill, and then it was just reading, reading, and reading more.

Elder Liao had gone to Jinding Peak and showed no signs of returning, presumably off to study the Taiyi Nirvana Technique with the other Elders of Jinding Peak.

During this time, Yu Xiu heard Inner Courtyard Disciples calling at the door of the Scripture Pavilion, but he pretended not to hear them.

Elder Liao had opened the back door for him; he could not just sell Elder Liao out. If word got to the Elders of the various peaks, Elder Liao would lose Face.

Five days later.

Yu Xiu let out a long breath. He had finished reading all of these, and had brought them to Perfection.

Finally, Comprehension Ability and Lifespan + 216292

Sword Sense + 213521

[ Comprehension Ability: 227236 (10944+216292) ]

[ Lifespan: 16/227361 (11069+216292) ]

[ Sword Heart: Sword Sound (221 / 800) ]

[ Wind Walk: Riding the Wind (24 / 500) ]

' Lifespan has broken through 220,000, nearing 230,000! ' He felt the surging, turbulent life force within his Life Spring, which was unlike anything he had experienced before.

Yu Xiu could clearly perceive his body changing rapidly under the scouring of this immense life force.

His bones seemed to be glowing, his blood as red as agate, as if endowed with some incredible divinity.

He could clearly perceive his Physical Body strength climbing, and vaguely, it seemed that a special ability of his Physical Body was gestating.

This was a natural change that occurred after the body became powerful.

And this change was continuous.

Besides this, he could also feel that his body was more suited for cultivation; the speed at which he refined Medicinal Pills was ten, even a hundred times faster than before.

From here on, it would likely change with every passing day.

He estimated that after a while, with his Physical Body naturally scoured by this immense life force, his raw strength alone would surpass his cultivation level.

It would not take long, at most half a month.

Nor would he need any supplements like Medicinal Pills, spiritual items, or other external resources; he only needed the nourishment of the life force surging like a rushing river within his Life Spring.

' The life force manifested by Lifespan is actually this useful! ' Yu Xiu himself had not expected this.

Previously, he had thought that a long Lifespan simply meant living a long time, having a slightly more vigorous life force, and having slightly purer and stronger True Qi.

Until now, with his Lifespan breaking 10,000 and then 100,000, the effects of his life force had grown beyond his imagination.

It was not in the slightest bit inferior to Comprehension Ability.

It was just that this special effect was something only Yu Xiu could experience.

Others, no matter how much of a Genius they were, had no possibility of replicating it.

Because no one's Lifespan could reach his level while at the Great Four Passes Five Elements Realm.

Even the legendary Saints, or even an 'Emperor', could not possibly have a Lifespan reaching 220,000 years, nearing 230,000 years.

' Comprehension Ability has broken 220,000! '

His mind seemed to have fallen into a storm of spiritual flashes.

Many spiritual flashes did not even require him to think; they would naturally burst forth, subsequently transforming into a Cultivation Technique or a Martial Art.

Just like the Taiyi Nirvana Technique that Liao Jianshu had given him before; looking back on it now, it felt simple and crude, too crude.

He had a hundred, a thousand ways to modify it to be easier to cultivate, save more life force, and be more exquisite.

' Sword Heart! '

Vaguely, he felt that his Sword Heart was still too weak, too inferior.

He could still make his Sword Heart even more transcendent.

Furthermore, through his Sword Heart, he seemed to have touched upon his own ethereal spirit.

It was already late at night.

Yu Xiu walked out of the Scripture Pavilion silently. The moment he closed and locked the door, one spiritual flash after another naturally emerged in his mind.

' Door? '

' Close? '

' Open? '

' In this world, there should also be a door! '

' There is nowhere one cannot go, nowhere one cannot come! '

He conceived an extremely exquisite spiritual flash: ' With this, I might be able to create a Divine Ability that can travel to all parts of the world, a gateway! '

He temporarily suppressed this spiritual flash.

At that moment, a night breeze brushed against his Face.

' Wind Walk! '

' Riding the Wind! '

' Wind! '

He suddenly raised his hand, and the night breeze seemed to transform from formless to tangible, silently turning a corner and blowing into his palm.

At first, this wind was invisible, only perceptible to the body.

But very quickly, a tiny wisp of night breeze took shape in his hand, rolling back and forth like flowing water; with a light touch, it dissipated into nothingness.

Sometimes it turned into a tiny tornado, sweeping up the nearby dust.

At the same time.

The text on the interface was also flickering rapidly.

[ Wind Walk: Riding the Wind (24 / 500) ]

[ Wind Walk: Riding the Wind (100 / 500) ]

[ Wind Walk: Riding the Wind (300 / 500) ]

[ Wind Walk: Riding the Wind (500 / 500) ]

Riding the Wind reached Perfection, and then, the interface moved again.

[ Wind Walk: Wind Control (25 / 800) ]

' Wind! ' Yu Xiu suppressed the spiritual flash in his mind. ' The commotion is a bit too large. '

He drifted into the air; beneath his feet, it seemed as if the wind was supporting him forward, or perhaps he had merged into the wind. In an instant, he traveled far away, ascended Zhanlong Peak, and returned to his own courtyard.

The speed was astonishingly fast.

At a certain moment, he seemed to sense something and looked at the moon in the sky.

' Bright moon! '

' The moon is Taiyin! '

' Then this moonlight... '

He reached out again, closed his eyes, and felt carefully.

A Comprehension Ability exceeding 220,000 brought him a burst of spiritual flashes as surging as an overflowing river.

' Taiyin! '

' Taiyin! '

' Martial Dao is still too inconvenient; it only knows how to obtain spiritual nature from meat, medicinal herbs, and spiritual items to ultimately strengthen oneself! '

' Aren't resources like medicinal herbs and spiritual items also formed by absorbing the spiritual nature of heaven and earth? '

' Then why can't cultivators directly extract spiritual nature from heaven and earth to strengthen themselves? '

' By day there is the great sun, by night there is the bright moon! '

' Taiyin, Taiyang! '

' Golden Crow, Jade Rabbit! '

' One Yin, one Yang! '

The spiritual flashes in his mind became uncontrollable, and he just stood there under the moonlit night.

The moonlight, originally formless and intangible, shone down on him. At this moment, it seemed to have gained form and substance!

It seemed to transform into a veil, soft and sacred, setting off the eyes-closed Yu Xiu as if he were a deity in charge of Taiyin!

' Martial Dao is inferior to Immortal Dao! '

' There are no Immortals in this world; perhaps I can pioneer the Immortal Dao and become the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Dao! '

' Dao Ancestor! '
