Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Chapter 393: Chapter 259: Five Secrets of the Physical Body, Not a Crossing? (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Subscriptions!)_2
Thump, thump, thump!

Jiang Yuan quickly arrived on the second floor of the book depository via the wooden spiral staircase.

The second floor was entirely different from what he had imagined.

Originally, he presumed this place would be filled with various secret techniques and primordial spirit secret arts.

After all, this was the book depository of the Holy Institute.

The Institute was founded by Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo’s strength was unquestionable.

The Institute he painstakingly created must surely contain many books.

However, reality differed greatly from his expectations.

The second floor was not large, and the amount of secret techniques it contained was scarce.

Upon scanning the place with his divine sense, Jiang Yuan found that all the secret techniques were related to the physical body.

There were also numerous research materials and records next to them.

“A Detailed Explanation of the Dao of All Living Beings”

Jiang Yuan was quickly attracted by these words.

Thus, he walked over and slowly began to flip through the book.

Time passed breath by breath, and unlike his previous speed, Jiang Yuan flipped through the book very slowly.

However, the booklet was thin, and it took only half a cup of tea’s time for Jiang Yuan to finish reading it.

By then, Jiang Yuan understood what the Dao of All Living Beings was.

When the physical body becomes significantly strong, every drop of flesh and blood will contain a strong personal will.

Under such circumstances, the strength of the physical body is fully manifested.

Even if the body is sliced into two with a single sword strike, each strand of flesh and blood can independently regenerate itself without causing any injury.

This aspect becomes increasingly terrifying the more one dives into it, and survival capabilities also become tremendously stronger.

Eventually, each cell becomes an individual entity.

In this manner, even if one is blasted into a mist of blood by a punch, they can instantly regenerate themselves.

Unless one destroys their form at a microscopic level, even the mightiest power is ineffective against their body.

One can say that under such circumstances, they possess an undying body.

Unless faced with an entity whose strength is several times their own, one could not possibly damage such an entity.

And the Dao of All Living Beings is inspired from this concept.

The mentioned brother planned to cultivate each of his flesh and blood into an independent life, and subsequently cut a strand of primordial spirit.

At the same time, he planned to set them on the path of cultivation.

In the end, if each cell could give birth to a new life form, there would be billions of living beings.

This was his brother’s Dao of All Living Beings.

By the time these billions of beings embark on the path of cultivation and comprehend the Great Dao.

At that moment, all creatures will return to the body.

With the support of myriad Dao, it would be equivalent to being omniscient and omnipotent!

Mastering countless Dao.

After understanding the Dao of All Living Beings, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but marvel at his brother’s ideas.

Such fanciful thoughts, yet he dared to enact them.

Perhaps he might actually succeed!

At his current realm, Jiang Yuan did not have the qualifications to judge his brother’s actions.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan picked up some other research materials dedicated to the body.

One of his brothers had quite unique ideas.

Treating the human body as a divine weapon to be forged.

A thousand strikes would produce iron, ten thousand strikes would produce steel.

But what about countless strikes?

If the human body could be refined beyond all known materials, could it truly become invincible?

Another sister’s thoughts were also highly instructive.

She believes refining the body,

the tribulations of ancient times were very informative.

Surviving the tribulations would inevitably strengthen the physical body.

What if you repeatedly survived stronger tribulations and continually refined the body?

At the same time, this sister had another thought.

Between life and death, there was great terror but also great opportunity.

Let the tribulations destroy the body’s cells and allow cells to be reborn from death.

From demise to rebirth, each cell that revives from annihilation will become stronger, and the physical body will also become stronger.

Compared to these speculations and experiments, the records left by Dugu Bo were on a whole other level.

“The Five Secrets of the Physical Body”

These were the records left by Dugu Bo.

The records mention that the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys correspond to fire, wood, earth, gold, and water.

Heart fire, liver wood, spleen earth, lung gold, kidney water.

Open the Five Realms of the physical body and nurture the Five Innate Divine Beasts.

Morph the human body into a universe.

When the spirits of the five divine beasts are nurtured into physical divine arts that can be used freely,

It is time to take the next step and open the universe within the body.

On seeing this, Jiang Yuan’s interest was piqued.

The Dean’s thoughts were somewhat similar to the cultivation method of this world.

After dharma-nature, there is the Four Extremes Realm.

In the Four Extremes Realm, four Dao palaces are opened outside the small world. Each Dao palace nurtures an innate spirit.

The four innate spirits are as follows: South Dao Palace’s Vermilion Bird, East Dao Palace’s Azure Dragon, West Dao Palace’s White Tiger, and North Dao Palace’s Black Tortoise.

The four spirits belong to the four directions: earth, wind, water, and fire.

They can open the cave world.

The Five Realms proposed by the Dean containing five spirits and the cultivation of the universe inside a contradiction are indeed quite ingenious.

One relies on the body, the other on the Spiritual Sea.

At first glance, these two paths seem to intersect while also being parallel.

Upon reading this, Jiang Yuan was in awe.

No wonder the Dean founded the Holy Institute. He undoubtedly had great ideas and great aspirations.

If he really could open up a new path of practice, he might be called a Daoist ancestor.

Then Jiang Yuan looked down again.

The records also mentioned that Dugu Bo had repeatedly tried to evolve the universe but had narrowly failed each time, suffering near-fatal injuries.

He conjectured in his records that maybe it was because his body was not strong enough.

Unable to bear the might of creating the universe, his body exploded, leading to his repeated failures.

He also conjectured there might be more than the Five Realms in the human body. There could be a sixth realm, and even a seventh realm.

Upon reading this, Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

If there really is a sixth realm in the human body!

Then it should be the spiritual platform.

The primordial spirit and physical body are originally inseparable!

Next, Jiang Yuan continued to read on, seeing Dugu Bo’s conjecture about the sixth realm.

He mentioned that the sixth realm of the physical body may be the spiritual platform located between the eyebrows.

The primordial spirit represents the true self, and the spiritual platform could be the sixth realm of physical body!

In the sixth realm, the physical body strengthens the primordial spirit, and the primordial spirit controls the Five Realms, unifying the power of the five spirits of the body into one.

After finishing reading.

Jiang Yuan could only utter two words.

Impressive!

Dugu Bo was indeed impressive.

Not only did he propose the concepts of the five secrets of the body,

But as discerned from his narration, it was clear he had successfully cultivated the five secrets of the body.

All five secrets of the human body were cultivated by him into the Five Spirits, and he further nurtured the Five Spirits into freely usable divine arts.

This is not merely conjecture, but practice!

To have reached this point is truly remarkable.

Unity of knowledge and action!

The path of body cultivation was half opened by him.

He could reach this point now, at least it means that his previous path was feasible, and was correct.

Jiang Yuan looked back and re-studied the records.

His heart was also moved.

Even if the path of becoming an immortal was not cut off now, Jiang Yuan would not be willing to take that step.

To abandon the physical body, ascend to the primordial spirit, condense the immortal body, and thereby live for a long time.
