Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 501 - 29 Deceiving Heaven Skill and Energy Introduction

The exploration of the White Ball Clan’s talent was only a few minutes.

But for Wang Sheng, it was like a key that unlocked all the mysteries.

Years of research accumulated, and in the moment he saw the White Ball Clan, it was as if inspiration struck, clearing the fog.

He had a premonition that this time, there definitely would be a solution.

After he left, however, the White Ball Clan was somewhat bewildered.

A mysterious powerful figure had suddenly appeared and easily forced out their talent with a mere gesture.

"Who exactly was that person?"

Bai Yi shook his head, "Unclear, but it must be some big shot from the Human Race, I think I’ve seen him before, but I can’t remember."

"Definitely a big shot, Bai Yi, you were hurt just now, right? Could it be like what that Human Race scholar said, the big shot’s method combines both spirit and energy?"

Bai Yi shook his head again, "Even though I experienced it firsthand, I didn’t notice anything, I don’t know how I got injured."

"Should we tell that scholar named Li Xueqian?"

They had once collaborated with Li Xueqian on research, and it was precisely because of this that the White Ball Clan had sent them, hoping to build on the relationship.

The fact was, upon their arrival, Li Xueqian had already become a high-level scholar at the academy, constantly busy, but still took the time to meet with them.

This was also why the White Ball Clan lived so comfortably.

As the leader, Bai Yi had a lot to consider.

He thought it over and finally decided, "The big shot didn’t say anything about keeping secrets, let’s tell Scholar Li Xueqian, the academy has been rather unsettled lately, it might be good to claim some credit, and I don’t think Scholar Li Xueqian would mind."

Their natural talents weren’t for combat, and they had started their studies late.

Thus, they sought a backer.

With Bai Yi’s decision, the White Ball Clan did not hesitate, and quickly went to find Li Xueqian.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Sheng had already returned to Qingshan Village and began a closed-door cultivation.

"The White Ball Clan’s talent really is magical, it seems to be turning into gas, but in reality it’s a special state where the Spiritual Body merges with flesh and blood. If it weren’t for me, who knows how long it would take for a method to emerge that could force them into that state."

The White Ball Clan, as Wang Sheng’s "key" to solving everything, naturally had its miraculous aspects go without saying.

After entering the talent state, there was no longer a concept of pure spirit and flesh, but rather a magical melding.

This state, although not quite what Wang Sheng was looking for, combined with the knowledge he had accumulated, helped him open the door.

"Spirit and flesh, originally they could merge like this, spirit generates flesh, flesh generates spirit, both are indispensable. Cultivation is about reaching limits in certain aspects, so there is a tendency to lean one way, just like the Inner Core Skill, it focuses on longevity, thus the Spiritual Body evolves into the Primordial Spirit, and eventually into Yang Spirit, leading other systems in longevity and even possessing considerable combat power."

"But everything has a price, for the sake of longevity and power, the flesh will be sacrificed, yet the flesh is the foundation, hence the process of reconstructing the Divine Body, but after reconstructing the Divine Body, the original True Body will disappear... The Divine Body becomes an immortal, yet is no longer one’s own."

"How fascinating!"

Taoist has the concept of the True Body, but eventually, you need to use the Yang Spirit to reconstruct the most suitable Divine Body.

Wang Sheng thought it over and shook his head.

The Taoist True Body represents eternity and unchanging, the Divine Body is the same, based on the Yang Spirit, even if destroyed, it remains true, perhaps also aiming for "true."

"The ’True Body’ born from my cultivation of the Yijin Scripture was impacted by the Inner Core Skill, yet I didn’t realize it was a crucial factor in solving the problem."

In researching the White Ball Clan’s talent and combining his previous foundation, Wang Sheng finally found a possible solution.

"Since the Inner Core Skill requires the Yang Spirit to reconstruct the True Body later on, now I’ll use my own ’True Body’ to replace the ’Divine Body’!"

The dividing line occurs because the Inner Core Skill is the Foundation Method, which will eventually produce the Divine Body.

So, his current physical body is disposable to the Inner Core Skill; it will be squeezed dry and sacrificed.

But what if the current body is already the Divine Body?

"It’s impossible to directly turn the current body into the Divine Body, so it’s only necessary to make the Foundation Method believe it is the Divine Body!"

This was the workaround Wang Sheng came up with combining extensive research and the talent of the White Ball Clan.

"Deceiving oneself... is not so easy to do, but no matter how difficult, it must be done!"

Wang Sheng immersed himself in the research.

Soon, the year 20 of the new era arrived, and the outside world held a grand anniversary celebration.

Wang Sheng had also developed a method, one without any progress bar.

"A Deceiving Heaven Skill that swaps the essentials, let’s call it that!"

"Deceiving Heaven Skill: Limit (Cannot be improved)"

The instant the method appeared, Wang Sheng understood what terrible thing he had created.

In the judgment of the progress bar, there was no potential for the Deceiving Heaven Skill to improve.

The cultivator approaches the Tao, yet possesses the Deceiving Skill.

"Only for personal use, if it is disclosed, divine punishment must follow!" Wang Sheng muttered to himself.

Naturally, the Deceiving Heaven Skill was not something his current level could have developed, but the progress bar was formidable.

His accumulation was enough, he himself could deduce a practical method to solve the problem, but the progress bar directly helped him deduce the "Deceiving Heaven Skill," something even he hadn’t anticipated.

But he also paid a price.

Not being able to disclose it was just one part of the price, once disclosed, it was feared that even the Starry Sky Rules would descend.

Now his Primordial Spirit was dim, his Qi-Blood was waning, his state of non-existence was one, his power had even somewhat declined.
