Chapter 303: 149-150: Striving hard to attain Qi people’s blessing, unsure of the path beyond the top grade (two in one 8k)_3 Chapter 303: 149-150: Striving hard to attain Qi people’s blessing, unsure of the path beyond the top grade (two in one 8k)_3 Was this their way of saying no?
However, seeing Xu Wei and He Yingyu getting along well, he felt relaxed and happy.
This showed that Xu Wei was well-liked, and that He Yingyu was not like most people.
She didn’t have a high and mighty demeanor; she was amiable.
“If my presence is not needed, then I’ll go back and continue cultivating…
Now that the Longevity Sect knows about my origin, the issue of a cultivator’s bone age when entering the Sect will no longer be a problem.
I can now cultivate the ‘Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’.”
Chen Dengming had mixed feelings about the ‘Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’.
...
He was both grateful and somewhat resentful—it was complicated.
The skill had made him successful but almost killed Xu Wei.
He predicted that there were many more in the Western Region who died due to this secret method.
This secret method seemed to herald misfortune, stacking up the deaths of many.
The creator of this cultivation technique, the Hundred Loss Demon Path, also died unexpectedly.
Everyone who cultivated this technique could not stop once they started, as if they were addicted to this life-risking cultivation method, meeting an untimely end.
From another perspective, this secret method revealed the cruel reality of the Cultivation World.
Inborn talent could determine a person’s future, and it was inherently unfair.
This secret method, capable of shattering inherent talents, came with the cost of shortening one’s lifespan.
Yet, countless people were willing to make this sacrifice.So many seemed willing to defy fate even at the cost of their lives.
“What a pity…
those who defy fate are few and far between.
If it weren’t for the fact that I can extend my lifespan through my cultivation, I wouldn’t dare to touch this secret method.”
Chen Dengming sat on a cushion in his cabin, examining his current status panel.
“Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator [Chen Dengming]
Lifespan: 87/338/789
Spiritual Roots: Metal, Wood (Excellect 50/100)
Martial Arts: ‘Chen Family Martial Arts Compendium’ (Exceptional 2/100)
Daoism: ‘The Rejuvenation Skill’ (Proficient 12/100), ‘Longevity Spring Skill’ (Level Seven 28460/40000), others! ”
During this period, he finally cultivated the ‘Rejuvenation Skill’ to the proficient level.
This allowed his lifespan to extend an extra ten years, reaching 789 years.
Theoretically, he still had 451 years of life left.
To increase his Qi Affinity from 50 to the maximum, he would only need to sacrifice seventy-five years of his lifespan.
He was unsure whether the Qi Affinity of a top-notch spiritual root could continue to be enhanced to the heavenly spiritual root after reaching its limit.
But in his heart, he felt it was highly unlikely.
If the heavenly spiritual root could be cultivated through the ‘Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’, then the method wouldn’t be circulating outside the sect.
After so many years, a new heavenly spiritual root would have emerged from the Western Region Demon Path.
However, even today, nearly seventy years after the Hundred Loss Demon Path fell, there had been no news of a new heavenly spiritual root emerging from the Western Region Demon Path.
Such a prodigy would certainly attract the attention of other factions, making it difficult to remain hidden.
“Regardless, I’ll give it a try.
If anyone is suited to cultivate the Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill, it would be the Cultivators of the Longevity Sect…
I’m not just a member of the Longevity Sect but also a cultivator that can extend his lifespan through cultivation.
This technique was born for me.
The Hundred Loss Demon Path could be considered my half-master.”
After sighing in his heart, Chen Dengming began cultivating intensely.
He hadn’t engaged in life-risking cultivation for quite some time.
This time, he would first invest 80 years of his lifespan and see whether his top-notch spiritual root affinity could directly hit its limit and make another breakthrough.
…
How much of a hundred years of life can one use?
Time flies like a swift steed.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, eighty years of life span was spent…
After Chen Dengming finished his intense cultivation, he felt that his sensitivity to nature’s spiritual energy in the air had strengthened considerably.
If he was previously watching a 720P high-definition movie, he now felt like he was watching a 1080P ultra-high-definition movie.
There was a slight difference.
However, after reaching the peak of the superior spiritual root Qi Affinity, there was no further breakthrough into the heavenly spiritual root; it seemed like he reached a bottleneck.
When Chen Dengming twisted a few strands of his temple hair to check, he saw that a few were white, but not many.
He then looked at the changes in his status panel.
“Lifespan: 87/418/789
Spiritual Roots: Metal, Wood (Superior 100/100)
Dao Technique:’Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’ (Level Three 47/100)…”
After this round of intense cultivation, he still had 371 years of lifespan left.
The ‘Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’ hasn’t yet been cultivated to its peak.
Theoretically, once the third level of this secret method is fully cultivated, the quality of his spiritual roots could increase by about two times.
However, now that the bottleneck has appeared, continuing to cultivate this technique to the peak would require approximately 160 years of additional lifespan, assuming every 30 years increases proficiency by 10 points.
Is it worth it if the quality of the spiritual roots remains unchanged, and the impact is not significant?
At the moment, even if the technique is cultivated to its peak, it’s highly likely that the quality of the spiritual roots will not undergo a significant change.
The cultivation speed of heavenly spiritual roots is at least ten times faster than superior spiritual roots.
Even if the remaining proficiency of the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill” helps the quality of spiritual roots increase by another two times, it still won’t able to approach the heavenly spiritual root, let alone reach twice its current level.
“After risking another 160 years of my lifespan, will the Qi affinity of my spiritual root improve?”
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Dengming decided to try again to see if the affinity with Qi of his spiritual roots would significantly increase.
If there is no significant increase, then he would wait until his remaining lifespan exceeds 500 years before cultivating this technique to the limit.
