#557 - Live long and see long!
Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi gathered together, both of them looking at Qin Buyi in the sky above the Great Ming Imperial City.
Lan Wenhao said, "Brother Ying Zhi, after Brother Qin breaks through to the Human Immortal Realm, the internal strife of the Heavenly Dou Sect may not be a threat to us."
Ying Zhi said, "I feel that after Brother Qin breaks through to the Human Immortal Realm, his situation will become even more dangerous."
Lan Wenhao said, "What do you mean by that?"
Ying Zhi said, "The other Elder factions of the Heavenly Dou Sect will not sit idly by and watch the Second Elder's faction become dominant."
"I think there may be a fierce battle after Brother Qin overcomes his tribulation!"
Lan Wenhao said, "After your reminder, it does seem to be the case."
Ying Zhi said, "However, I am not too worried about this possible fierce battle."
"With Brother Qin's methods, there will definitely be no problem."
Above the Great Ming Imperial City.
A familiar feeling of pain came from all over the body.
Having experienced so many tribulations, Qin Buyi was already very accustomed to the pain.
But this time, the level of pain clearly exceeded the limit that Qin Buyi could bear.
In the past, when there was pain all over the body, there would always be a focus.
A certain part of the body, or several parts together, would hurt.
But this time, the whole body was hurting together, and the intense pain spread throughout the body.
In less than a breath, beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripped from Qin Buyi's forehead.
Qin Buyi's golden bones all over his body made "creaking" sounds...
"Crack~!"
"Crack~!"
Along with the "creaking" sounds, Qin Buyi's golden bones all over his body began to shatter.
After the golden bones shattered...
In less than two breaths, the golden blood in Qin Buyi's body began to burn.
The pain brought by the burning of blood instantly stimulated Qin Buyi's pain nerves to a peak.
After the previous few tribulations, most parts of Qin Buyi's body had undergone earth-shattering changes.
These changed parts were: the whole body's bones, blood, muscles, internal organs, and the sea of consciousness.
These places that had been strengthened had greatly enhanced their function and defense.
Correspondingly, when these strengthened parts shattered again, the pain brought was many times greater!
Before, during the tribulations, only certain parts of the body changed.
Qin Buyi encountered this situation for the first time.
Logically speaking, the strengthened parts should not shatter again, unless they are to be strengthened again.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Qin Buyi's mind, and Qin Buyi murmured:
"Now my body's main parts, including the sea of consciousness in my brain, have all been strengthened."
"But there are still many unimportant parts of the body that have not been strengthened. Could it be that this tribulation is to strengthen all these unstrengthened parts?"
As Qin Buyi expected, after the golden bones and golden blood changed, the golden muscles in Qin Buyi's body also began to tremble violently.
This trembling was constantly expanding and tightening, then expanding again...
With this expansion, Qin Buyi's whole body pain doubled again!
Five breaths later, Qin Buyi's internal organs seemed to be displaced, and the pain increased again.
At this moment, Qin Buyi only felt that his body was no longer his own, only his soul still belonged to him.
This idea did not last long. The next second, Qin Buyi's powerful golden sea of consciousness vibrated...
"Hiss~!"
The double blow to the body and spirit made Qin Buyi's face change greatly, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Is the pain of breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm so fierce..."
If pain could be divided into levels, this time, compared to the pain Qin Buyi suffered when he broke through to the Dragon Gate Realm, it was at least ten levels higher!
After thinking about it, Qin Buyi understood the reason.
"Human Immortal Realm... Human Immortal Realm..."
Once you enter the Human Immortal Realm, you will be associated with the word 'immortal'. From then on, as long as you do not suffer calamities, you will no longer have to worry about lifespan, and you can live forever!
Once you enter the Human Immortal Realm, you will completely break away from the boundaries of mortals, and both the power you control and your status among cultivators will be qualitatively improved...
The most obvious benefit of breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm is lifespan.
Cultivators below the Human Immortal Realm have lifespan limits.
When a cultivator breaks through from an ordinary person without any cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm, their lifespan will increase slightly.
When breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm, the lifespan will increase moderately...
As the cultivation level gets higher and higher, such as breaking through to the Great Ascension Realm, the Half-Immortal Realm, and the Dragon Gate Realm, the lifespan increases by thousands to tens of thousands of years.
But even so, if a cultivator does not break through to the Human Immortal Realm before their lifespan comes to an end, they will still not escape the fate of death.
The lifespan here refers not to the lifespan of the physical body, but to the lifespan of the Nascent Soul in the sea of consciousness.
Except for Qin Buyi, a freak who takes the path of becoming a saint with strength and has no spiritual power at all, ordinary cultivators have spiritual power and Nascent Souls, and the Nascent Soul will continue to change as the cultivation level increases...
Whether it is the Dao of Heaven or the Great Dao, the lifespan calculated is the true inner lifespan of the cultivator. Before the cultivator cultivates a Nascent Soul, then the physical body is the main thing.
After the cultivator cultivates a Nascent Soul, then the Nascent Soul, the true core of the cultivator, is the main thing.
For freaks like Qin Buyi, for no reason, the lifespan of the sea of consciousness is calculated.
The sea of consciousness also has a lifespan limit, but due to the particularity of the sea of consciousness, ordinary physical aging and other situations will not appear in the sea of consciousness.
Once the cultivator's lifespan is truly reached, the sea of consciousness will immediately collapse, and the cultivator will die completely.
The reason why the lifespan calculation is no longer based on the physical body after the cultivator's cultivation level is improved is very simple.
That is because cultivators have many methods, and there are many ways to change a physical body. The simplest is to seize the body...
A slightly more clever one may use secret treasures or secret methods to find an unmarried woman and throw themselves into her womb to break the mystery of the womb and obtain a brand new physical body.
The benefit of doing this is that the physical body obtained by reincarnation can reach 100% compatibility with oneself.
Those physical bodies that are seized, no matter how hard they try to cultivate compatibility, are still inferior to the physical body obtained by reincarnation.
A trace of spiritual power among cultivators can determine life and death at a critical moment, so don't look at the difference in compatibility of the body seized, the difference is 180,000 miles!
Moreover, the history of cultivators seizing and changing physical bodies is countless. Many powerful cultivators may lose their physical bodies for various reasons, such as: fighting, treasure hunting, etc...
So if it is based on the physical body, then wouldn't these cultivators whose cultivation level has not broken through to the Human Immortal Realm be able to achieve another form of immortality?
How could the rules of the Great Dao and the Dao of Heaven allow such a simple loophole to occur.
