Chapter 1142 - 574: Key of the Gate
In this instant, the True Martial Seven-Section Sword Light had already broken through the Blood Mist Tribulation Seal. Seven swords slashed in succession, sword power crisscrossed, sealing the escape route, surrounding from all sides, as if Chen Xuantian was already placed in a dead-end.
However, Chen Xuantian was still distracted.
After all, the situation was not yet severe; the medicine’s power was still strong, the body was still holding up, and research could continue.
So, Chen Xuantian simply ignored the sword light that was about to strike and continued researching.
Thus, after resolving the question of "Who am I" and understanding the nature of the body, Chen Xuantian could proceed to healing.
Yes, healing. After all, being forced to this extent by a mere Golden Core Killing Tribulation was essentially because Chen Xuantian had previously slain a heap of Kunlun Demon Path Xuanmen Ancestors, sacrificed to the Yellow Heaven, and single-handedly killed the Cloud Dream Dragon King, exhausting his Qi Power, with an oil-depleted lamp, seriously injured.
And by leveraging the medicinal strength of the Blood Mist Pill, squeezing out the last bit of potential, if he did not take this chance to figure out a healing method, at this rate of squeezing, he wouldn’t even need to think about winning; in a few seconds, his Dao Body could collapse, leading to self-reincarnation.
After all, just as was previously deduced, these indigenous wetware people of the Taiji World are essentially humanoid Tokamak devices, whose function is restraint and control.
And the process of wetware people cultivating and crossing the tribulation, unlocking the Tokamak restraints step by step, returning to their true essence, transforming into a state of pure plasma life form, is called Refining Qi and Transforming God, seeking Dao cultivation.
So in some sense, the Dao Body is a constraint, but directly shattering it won’t work either. After all, a plasma without magnetic field constraints cannot exist at normal temperature, instantly becoming brilliant radiation, transcending rebirth.
Therefore, the Mountain Men’s cultivation is essentially about reverse researching, analyzing and mimicking the Tokamak restraint mechanism, gradually replacing the wetware, unlocking and reshaping step by step, using their Primordial Spirit power to replace the wetware limiter.
In this way, they spontaneously refine Qi, condense the Golden Core, form the Nascent Soul, finally undergo rebirth, transcend the mundane, and manifest as a mature plasma life form. Yet at that moment of finding true form, it also signifies doom.
Because the form of plasma life does not adapt to the natural environment of Taiji Heaven, without wetware to contain it, it cannot endure long in the heavens and earth.
As Mountain Men cultivators continuously unlock their own limitations, the greater and stronger they become, the more unstable the plasma state. Ultimately, the day comes when the Tokamak collapses and disintegrates; if they cannot timely seize another’s body and rebirth, sooner or later there will be a day of self-destruction, turning into brilliant radiation.
This is what plagues Taiji cultivators, the bottleneck of the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Although Chen Xuantian has not yet reached that limit, he now faces the same problem.
This body, this humanoid Tokamak restraint device, has been manipulated too harshly, on the verge of collapsing and disintegrating, entering a countdown state.
Even though his Primordial Spirit is strong, possessing special techniques like the YCM Technique, without reliance, it will eventually dissipate into the world. Even if he urgently finds another Tokamak to parasitically seize, due to the innate capacity constraints of wetware, he might permanently lose part of his memories, knowledge, experiences, etc., a portion of the ’soul.’
However, fortunately, at this moment of brief brilliance, with a fully functioning brain and peak intelligence, Chen Xuantian found a way to survive.
The Divine Lord’s True Inheritor. Tie Dan. Chen Xuantian’s and Kun’s co-authored version on High Blood Pressure Turbo Technique!
Indeed, the Turbo Technique essentially simulates turbocharging, the water pump driving blood, turning essence blood into muscle, into energy, into speed, into sword energy, into attack power, going all out with everything.
Similarly, the Vermilion Duck Blood Mist Pill does the same, just in a more exaggerated manner, equivalent to inputting a cheat code into the wetware—a self-destruct command—directly transforming all essence blood into panel attributes.
As such, the current Chen Xuantian, equivalent to directly using wetware as firewood, allowing an extremely strong flame for a short period, achieving a splendid peak, after the radiant emission, naturally leading to self-collapse, fuel exhausted, extinguisher spent.
Hmm, so essentially, it’s like adding flour when the water is too much, adding water when the flour is too much. Essence, Qi, and Spirit—the Trinity must reach a balance to last long, single excessive consumption of any cannot maintain the state. Therefore, to avoid death, one must repair and patch, thinking of ways to patch the cracked and collapsing wetware.
Luckily, heaven never bars one’s way, especially not long ago after personally witnessing the Wild Maoshan’s Reverse Healing Technique, in this moment of peak intelligence, Chen Xuantian deduced the Reverse Turbo Technique.
The inverse cultivation of Divine Qi, refining spirit back into Qi, reversing Qi to replenish essence! Turbo reversal! Pushing the overflowing essence blood back into the body shell all over! Yijing Marrow Washing! Body Reconstruction—cough cough, alright, cannot reach that extent, but the principle holds true, as long as using reverse turbo to turn off the Blood Mist Pill’s self-destruct command, the collapsing process can be temporarily halted.
Besides, his Primordial Spirit was already robust, enduring usage, moreover, no lack of limbs, hence repair was relatively swift. Of course, as Chen Xuantian’s body was casually picked up, previously dismantled by the Blood God’s son’s great method, its potential could never compare to battle wetware like Tie Dan’s, unable to achieve instant resurrection and rebirth in blood, amounting only to a temporary fix rather than a cure.
A porcelain once broken, even forcefully stuck back together, is a mere facade, unable to withstand a strike from Heavenly Tribulation, impossible to cultivate to Nascent Soul and even less to reach the summit again. Simply put, the disparity between wetwares is too vast.
