Chapter 135: Borrowing Another Lifetime of Longevity
Li Shun did not rush to borrow lifespan from the heavens.
Instead, he waited another day, adjusting both his body and mind until they had reached their absolute peak.
In the early hours of the seventh day of the third month, Li Shun once again slowly circulated the lifespan-borrowing art of the Cycle of Twelvefold Longevity Methods.
His consciousness seemed to leave his body, drifting upward until it reached the Ninth Heaven.
Once more, his will connected with the heavens, allowing him to behold the all-pervading Life Qi, the supreme force that filled heaven and earth and governed the life and death of all living beings.
'Last time, I borrowed a full two hundred years of lifespan.'
'Although the amount borrowed through this secret art is destined to decrease with each use, no matter what, I should still be able to borrow over a hundred years this time.'
Filled with anticipation, Li Shun directed his thoughts toward the boundless heavenly will, once again forging a connection with that supreme consciousness.
Only after a long while did a faint stream of azure qi descend from the Ninth Heaven and merge into the crown of his head, signaling the end of this borrowing.
