Chapter 720 - 41: Half a Step into Dao, Overwhelming Presence

Inside the stone chamber.

Duncan sat cross-legged, directly circulating his True Qi according to the last eight diagrams on the wall. He could also forcefully practice the first eight diagrams, but it would easily cause his internal breath to become chaotic and injure his meridians.

Others also practiced the age-defying strange skills in front of them. Miss Sun was the first to wake up; she merely tried a bit before giving up.

This Everlasting Youth Technique belongs to the Taoist esoteric techniques. She first memorized these exercise diagrams, planning to carefully ponder them after leaving. Such superior Martial Arts cannot be mastered in a short time.

Yu Yaonu was the second to wake up, and she looked surprised, secretly thinking, "The efficiency of refining essence into qi with this strange skill is really high!"

She had only trained for half a day and already felt a lack of essence energy.

The first few diagrams of the Everlasting Youth Technique are still about refining essence into qi, but the latter diagrams are already about refining qi into spirit.

Yu Yaonu had decent talent, but not exceedingly outstanding. According to the exercise diagrams, her True Qi increased somewhat, but her body felt a bit hollow because her essence energy had already been refined into True Qi.

Fu Jianhan's figure awoke at nightfall.

When he opened his eyes, his whole skeleton burst with sound, and he couldn't help but praise, "This strange skill is so powerful; practicing it feels like a rebirth."

The Everlasting Youth Technique requires entry with Innate True Qi, and the three of them had already gotten a glimpse of it.

At this time, Duncan alone was still sitting cross-legged in practice.

Miss Sun and Yu Yaonu occasionally glanced back, seeing the True Qi flowing between the youth's eyebrows. At some point, the breath he exhaled had turned into a faint white mist, like a jade belt encircling his head. Then the white smoke scattered into a group of Spiritual Energy, constantly inhaled and exhaled with the youth's breath, until the entire stone chamber was filled with a faint mist.

"Has he already reached the third diagram?" Fu Jianhan was shocked.

He had wandered the world since childhood, with unusual talent and strong physique, and had just reached the second diagram but already felt a lack of essence energy.

Simply put, his body no longer had enough essence to be transformed into qi.

People eat grains which are converted into postnatal essence within the body, and this varies according to different physiques. Practicing is the process of refining essence into qi. Some people can meditate and train for days without fatigue, while others feel restless with insufficient essence after only half a day of meditation.

If using an essence bar to measure, Miss Sun only had fifty points, Yu Yaonu about sixty, Fu Jianhan eighty to ninety, but as for Duncan, there was currently no visible limit.

"Could he live on wind and dew, with endless essence energy?" Miss Sun was stunned.

The ancient Qi refiners.

They could replenish their essence energy directly from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy without relying on grains, so no matter how much they practiced, they never worried about a lack of essence.

Normal people eat, digest, and condense it into postnatal essence within the body, then refine essence into qi through practice, converting it into Inner Strength and True Qi. True Qi does not appear out of nowhere; many Inner Strength techniques need talent support for this reason.

Of course, Duncan wouldn't live on air; he also needed to eat when hungry. It's just that his essence energy was so abundant that it couldn't be measured.

Don't ask how strong his physique and talent are; by now, it's certainly not weaker than a legendary Barbarian.

Others eat, train to store essence, then meditate, refining qi to convert into True Qi, but no matter how Duncan trained, he never felt a lack of essence.

He could have as much as he wanted.

He could throw an elephant barehanded, his physique couldn't possibly be weak.

Duncan trained to the fourth diagram of the Everlasting Youth Technique in one go. As his True Qi surged within, encircling all his meridians, it gradually gathered in the upper Dantian. The torrential Innate True Qi continuously flooded into the ancestral aperture, refining even the internal evil Qi. Finally, when the fourth diagram was complete, the youth entered an unprecedented realm.

"What's happening!?"

Fu Jianhan was the first to notice something unusual. He saw the white mist enveloping Duncan gradually being inhaled into his body, and then the youth's visage seemed to glow with a layer of luminous radiance. His essence, qi, and spirit had all been tempered to a certain peak, breaking through the Taoist so-called 'refining qi into spirit' stage.

Miss Sun signaled others to remain silent, her eyes fixed on the faint radiance on the youth's skin's surface, muttering, "It's like the Vajra Glass Body."

"He's about to reach the Dao!"

No,

The Buddhist practice the Vajra Glass Body, isn't the Taoist refined qi supposed to show as purple aura?

Taoists love purple aura the most.

There's a term called 'clad in luminous radiance,' which means one's essence, qi, and spirit have been refined to a certain level, getting closer to reaching the Dao. The phenomenon of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit gathering and manifesting a trinity of light occurs.

Whether he's reaching the Dao, Duncan didn't know.

He liked the idea of reaching the Dao, but it wasn't necessarily the same 'reach the Dao' that Miss Sun was talking about.

However, some unusual things indeed happened to him. As he gradually practiced to the fifth diagram of the Everlasting Youth Technique, all the True Qi within Duncan's body was being absorbed by the ancestral aperture, feeling somewhat like dispersing his power, even the projection page from a god's perspective showed the True Qi bar's upper limit decreasing little by little.

In exchange, his Mana Bar began to grow continuously!

Refining qi into spirit.

Up!

The white smoke around Duncan was entirely inhaled into his abdomen, and astonishingly, his figure began to rise from the ground, floating about half a meter above the surface.

"This!..."

"Is he ascending to immortality?!..." Yu Yaonu was dumbfounded.

Though the Wu Xian Sect also has supreme strange skills, with various anomalies appearing during practice, the event of directly floating in midair is something even the Holy Aunt couldn't accomplish.
