I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

The middle-aged monk could naturally tell that the Black Needle Poison Bee had been injured by magic, and his face grew even darker.

"Lead the way!"

He shouted loudly.

The Black Needle Poison Bee instinctively shuddered for a moment, then obediently flew up.

Its speed was slow, yet it gradually moved south.

...

Backyard pavilion.

Zhou Changwang was practicing martial arts.

However, it wasn’t ordinary martial art techniques.

It was a body cultivation technique, the Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon.

It must be said, today was a moment of harvest for Zhou Changwang.

Early in the morning, after his routine practice of the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques, without realizing it, he had cultivated this body technique to the Small Success stage.

His vitality subsequently surged.

His flesh, skin, and even bones were continually strengthened by the constant washing of the thick vitality.

When everything settled, he felt his strength greatly increase, and within his body, an intrinsic power began to emerge involuntarily.

A kind of inner strength that only true body cultivation powerhouses could possess.

If he channeled this inner strength, letting it flow through his skin, he could become impervious to blades and spears; even a martial artist in the Innate Realm would struggle to inflict damage.

As for magical artifacts?

He hadn’t tried, but he felt it wouldn’t be easy for a low-tier cultivator’s magical artifact to penetrate his flesh and skin with a single blow.

Of course, he still trusted the protective body technique more.

Protective body technique at the perfection level was truly as solid as a rock—it was his strongest protective skill now.

The power and physical defense ability gained from the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques were merely an addition, having little to do with his strength growth.

Yet body cultivation, after all, was a major system within the cultivation realm, with its own pros and cons. Mastering body cultivation power was equivalent to an entry level in the body cultivation path.

Therefore, he contemplated using it to make up for his shortcomings in close combat strength.

So, he took out two jade scrolls from his storage bag.

They were items that belonged to the Rakshasa Gang leader he had previously killed, the body cultivation powerhouse, namely the body cultivation techniques "Daluo Vajra Hand" and "Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon".

He recalled his father’s words: Learn to run before you learn to fight. If you can’t win, you can at least flee.

Of the two body cultivation techniques, Daluo Vajra Hand was attack-oriented, but compared to his many magical methods, it barely counted.

So, he decided to first train in Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon.

Upon grasping its intricacies, Zhou Changwang quickly controlled his power, guiding it along a specific route into both legs, and his body soared forward.

Whoosh!

As if the sound of wind rushed past, his body directly transformed into an afterimage, disappearing from the spot and reappearing several feet away.

"Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon is a pursuit and escape type body cultivation technique.

Stepping on the seven stars, a single step spans several feet. When fully exerted, the speed is not much slower than when I use the Light Body Skill.

If the two are combined, the speed will be even faster."

Zhou Changwang continued to familiarize himself with Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon.

His body transformed into phantom images, swiftly moving through the Spirit Field of the backyard, and even though the attribute panel displayed the entry level of Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon, he did not stop.

Rather, amid familiarization, he suddenly employed the Light Body Skill to test the speed limit.

Instantly, his figure appeared everywhere throughout the Spirit Field.

Fortunately, he kept a deliberate control to avoid trampling the Spirit Plants.

"Combining Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon and Light Body Skill, my speed indeed saw a significant increase.

This plays an important role during combat as well."

Zhou Changwang’s body gradually came to a halt, feeling slightly exhilarated.

Just as he was about to resume his training, suddenly he saw a Black Needle Poison Bee wobbling in from a distance.

"Hmm?

Another Black Needle Poison Bee?

Wait?

Is this the one whose tail I previously broke?"

Zhou Changwang narrowed his eyes, somewhat suspicious.

Since the last wave of battle, the Black Needle Poison Bees had not appeared again.

He thought they would not dare come near again for some time, yet unexpectedly here they were, only two days later.

Moreover, it was the same one that had previously been repelled and escaped.

Nonetheless, he wasn’t concerned.

For without his intervention, the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees would take care of it.

Buzz buzz~!

Sure enough, not long after the Black Needle Poison Bee showed up above the Spirit Field, at least five or six Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees flew up to confront it.

Seeing this, the Black Needle Poison Bee turned and fled.

But it was quickly chased down.

Just when several Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees were about to swarm and tear the Black Needle Poison Bee apart in the next instant, suddenly a Black Needle Poison Bee the size of a sea bowl came rushing at an extraordinary speed, far surpassing ordinary Spirit Bees.

Following closely were a second and third one.

The largest among them was the size of an adult human head, its flight accompanied by a loud buzzing sound.

Even before approaching, two Black Needle Poison Bees had already raised their tails, shooting two poison needles that hit two Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees.

Instantly, the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees plummeted.

The two Black Needle Poison Bees, each the size of a sea bowl, charged straight into the bee swarm, killing the remaining Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees within moments.

"Demon Beast Level Black Needle Poison Bees?

And there are three of them.

The largest one—is that the Queen Bee? From its aura, it’s comparable to a third-layer Qi cultivation practitioner."

Zhou Changwang’s face changed, revealing a trace of shock in his eyes.

However, there was no time to ponder.

For just as they finished off the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees, the three Demon Beast Level Black Needle Poison Bees swiftly charged toward his hive.
