135: Chapter 135 Like a Dream

In a daze.

Ji Yebai felt a bit lost.

It seemed he was doing something.

But he could not recall what it was for a moment.

It was like a flash of inspiration that he chased desperately, wanting to grasp that moment of insight, but he could not catch it no matter what.

It flickered and vanished, leaving him with a sense of loss.

But immediately after, he fell into a trance again.

It felt as if he were falling through layers.

He did not have time to think; when he regained consciousness, it felt as if he had stopped at a certain moment.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling in dappled patches.

Perhaps a leaf was missing, or perhaps it was the Tyndall effect of the light.

A beam of light fell straight down.

He seemed to have experienced this scene before and subconsciously looked toward the light.

A beautiful face was looking elsewhere, smiling.

Perhaps sensing Ji Yebai's gaze, she tilted her head slightly and looked over.

Ji Yebai stared foolishly at that smile, feeling dizzy and confused.

A surge of emotion welled up within him, as if he were deeply attached to this.

In his trance, he seemed to wish desperately for this moment to freeze.

However, the moment this feeling arose, a crack appeared on that perfect face before him.

His heart ached for no reason.

It was not just one crack.

In Ji Yebai's lost eyes, dense cracks appeared.

It was not just that girl.

There was also the tree, the sky, the ground.

Even Ji Yebai himself began to be covered in cracks.

A sharp pain emerged.

It felt as if his Soul were being torn apart.

And just at this moment, Ji Yebai's dazed eyes suddenly cleared.

"I am Cultivating, yes, I am Cultivating!"

Ji Yebai's eyes had just regained clarity.

But the next moment.

Infinite, intense pain, like a tsunami, submerged his mind once again.

Ji Yebai only had time to feel the intense tearing sensation coming from his body before losing consciousness again.

After Ji Yebai lost consciousness.

His vast Divine Sense, mental state, and will also began to tear.

A long time passed; the tearing and recovery of Ji Yebai's flesh had become extremely intense.

In a single breath, several cycles had already occurred.

It was not just his flesh, but also his sea of consciousness.

Everything had begun to cycle continuously, accompanied by the tearing.

Ji Yebai's Divine Sense was vast.

But even so, it still could not withstand the tearing force within his body.

Suddenly.

Ji Yebai's Divine Sense split in two.

Boundless, intense pain swept over him.

So painful!

A pain from the depths of his Soul suddenly appeared.

Slowly, it split from two into four.

It felt as if sharp nails were being hammered into his head, the pain reaching into his brain marrow as it surged again.

Four into eight.

...

Slowly.

Ji Yebai's Divine Sense seemed to have split into countless pieces.

Even his memories seemed to have shattered into countless pieces along with his Divine Sense.

Some were of him babbling as a baby, some of doing homework, some of climbing mountains and crossing rivers, some of working or going to school, and even some of him smiling and holding hands with a girl...

Suddenly, his consciousness was like a shattered mirror.

It split into thousands of pieces, large and small.

What flickered in the mirror shards was nothing else but fragments of memory.

Confusion, daze, pain, joy, and some indescribable ache...

Countless memories flashed continuously on the mirror surface.

That was exactly Ji Yebai's shattered memory and thinking.

The most dangerous moment of Ji Yebai's life had arrived.

Time flowed slowly.

Ji Yebai's consciousness fragments repeated continuously.

The shattered memory fragments could not connect.

He would eventually sink into oblivion.

At one moment.

Among those thousands of memory fragments, an extremely faint image appeared.

It was him Cultivating the Longevity Fist.

Seeming to sense something, for a split second, thousands of consciousness fragments suddenly stood still.

Immediately after, the fragments closest to that consciousness Cultivating the Longevity Fist subconsciously began to Cultivate the Longevity Fist.

The Longevity Fist was compiled by Bai Zhu, who inherited the martial Dao of the Kunlun Saint.

It could be said that no martial Cultivation Technique had ever been like the Longevity Fist, capable of being applied to everyone.

Every person is unique.

Therefore, a Cultivation Technique created by thousands of people could not possibly be suitable for everyone.

Yet, the Longevity Fist had achieved this impossibility.

The reason for this actually lies in the role of the Kunlun Saint within it.

In the era without Spiritual Qi, the Kunlun Saint had Cultivated his flesh to the extreme.

For many years afterward, his focus was on studying the ethereal Soul.

And Daoist practice also emphasizes the Cultivation of the mind.

Therefore, it involved some aspects of the Soul.

The Kunlun Saint's martial cultivation was only at the Perfection of qi sense, but his state of mind was likely unmatched by few.

Like dominoes, immediately,

all the fragments surrounding the consciousness Cultivating the Longevity Fist also began to Cultivate the Longevity Fist.

For a time, dozens and hundreds of consciousness fragments all began to manifest images of Cultivating the Longevity Fist.

And as the fragments of will increased, a resonance appeared among these consciousness fragments.

Slowly, one by one, the resonating consciousness fragments began to attract and approach each other.

As if merging, two different consciousness fragments touched, and then Fusion began to occur.

Two fragments touched together, forming a larger fragment.

And as the large fragments increased, the resonance grew stronger, and more surrounding fragments began to merge.

Countless consciousnesses were continuously Cultivating the Longevity Fist, focused and tenacious.

Ji Yebai's consciousness was undergoing danger.

His body also began to change.

Divine light particles and Mental Energy particles, accompanied by the constant tearing and repairing of flesh, began to merge into the cells.

And the insights brought back from the evolution of the giant life beasts, along with the Mental Energy merging into the flesh, began to interfere with the healing of the flesh.

Healing, tearing, and then healing.

However, as it continuously healed, at some moment, the subconscious changed, referencing a certain node of the giant beast's life evolution.

In an instant, the flesh healed.

But if there were a high-precision microscope, one would be able to discover that a special cell had appeared in the flesh where Ji Yebai had healed.

It was glowing.

The moment this cell appeared, divine light particles and mental particles began to pour in.

The brightness increased by a tiny bit in an instant, and miraculously, this cell was not torn apart by the rampaging divine light.

It was like a signal.

Ji Yebai's body was still constantly tearing and healing.

But this time, with every cycle, several glowing cells would be born.

Time flowed like water.

Just like that.

Ji Yebai's consciousness fragments merged continuously, and his flesh constantly gave birth to new glowing cells.

With the birth of new cells, the tearing began to slow down.

The endless, intense pain also began to slowly subside.

Until the end.

All consciousness fragments merged into one again, and the flesh cells on his body all stopped tearing.

Ji Yebai paused slightly, and a deep sense of exhaustion welled up.

The next moment, Ji Yebai fell asleep.

As he fell asleep, his body instinctively began to absorb Spiritual Qi.

First, the five elements spirit beads.

Five Elements Spiritual Qi was continuously pulled out and then devoured by Ji Yebai's body.

The Spiritual Qi stored in the five elements spirit beads was vast.

But at this moment, as the devouring force of Ji Yebai's body increased, it could not keep up with the consumption.

The spirit beads began to flicker.

Massive amounts of Five Elements Energy, like a pouring river of energy, flowed continuously toward Ji Yebai.

But this was not enough.

As time continued, his devouring force increased again.

Crack!

A crack appeared on the surface of the five elements spirit beads.

That devouring force began to frantically plunder the power of the spirit beads.

The five elements spirit beads flickered continuously and also dimmed continuously.

Until finally, the five spirit beads shattered one after another, no longer glowing, and turned into stones that fell to the ground.

But even so.

That devouring force did not seem to weaken much.

The Spiritual Qi within the ten-thousand-year ice also began to be affected.

It all gathered toward Ji Yebai.

Massive amounts of Spiritual Qi, vast and endless, began to pour into Ji Yebai's body.

If one could magnify this a thousand or ten thousand times at this moment, one would be able to clearly see all this massive Spiritual Qi flowing into each of the glowing cells.

The ten-thousand-year iceberg began to collapse.
