In the territory of the Black Tiger Gang right now, an insect calamity is wreaking havoc, and dangers lurk everywhere, he desperately needs to have enough strength to protect himself.
Even after having broken through to a new realm, it merely gives him the confidence to sit tight in this countryside, but for those top experts in Black Tiger City, this level of strength is still not enough.
In the short term, it’s impossible for his cultivation to make any significant breakthroughs.
This time, with the help of the elixirs, he directly advanced from the second layer of the Acquired Realm to the next major realm, which was absolutely like rocketing up in speed.
As the saying goes, too much is as bad as not enough.
What others might take ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime to achieve, he accomplished in just one day.
Compared to those experts who have climbed up step by step, his foundation is definitely not as solid as theirs.
If he doesn’t calm his mind now and stabilize his realm, it could easily collapse
like a “high-rise building.”
He plans to spend some time now to solidify his realm and lay a firm
foundation.
While at it, he could also practice the two martial skills and take them to the
next level.
Whether it’s the Slash Martial Skill or the Sweeping Martial Technique, both can help him turn the tide in dangerous moments, so he definitely needs to master them.
Especially with the “storm” about to come, improving his strength in any area, even slightly, could mean the difference between life and death in a crisis.
“Right, let’s see how much my lifespan has increased!
Qin Niu remembered the most important thing.
Ultimately, there is only one purpose behind everything he does, and that is to
prolong his life.
Check personal attributes.
Qin Niu
Cultivation: Everlasting Spring Technique Innate early stage 10,000/100,000 (Medicine King Sutra Acquired first layer 1,570/2,000), Intermediate Farmer 119/1,000, intermediate Insect Master 108/1,000, Advanced Beast Tamer 10,000/100,000
Lifespan: 188 years
Cultivation Technique: Everlasting Spring Technique, Grade Three 1,022/10,000, Medicine King Sutra, Grade Two 572/1,000
So after the Acquired Realm, comes the legendary Innate Realm.
“One step into the Innate, half a step into immortality,” means that as soon as one enters the Innate Realm, it’s like taking half a step into the Immortal Gate, qualifying for the true pursuit of everlasting life.
He has always found himself quite deficient in knowledge about cultivation, but now that he’s finally accumulated some power, he can spare some time to catch up on this knowledge.
He bought a number of books on cultivation, beast-taming, and insect mastering from the city last time, but he has never had the time to read them.
It couldn’t be helped.
At that time, he was being targeted by Old Master Huang. He had to give his all to outwit his opponent, as the slightest carelessness could have cost him his life.
It was impossible for him to be distracted and learn the basics of cultivation.
Although he killed Old Master Huang later on, the appearance of Grade Three giant locusts gave him a hint of the presence of the Nine Insect Gang. Faced with masters of the Nine Insect Gang hidden in the shadows, his mere second- layer Acquired Realm cultivation would likely not even suffice to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Without long-term considerations, there will be immediate worries.
Always being far-sighted, he naturally did everything possible to enhance his strength before the crisis hit.
Now that he has broken through to the Innate Realm, he finally can catch his breath.
His lifespan has increased by a total of sixty years.
That is, in common terms, a jiazi.
This result is slightly lower than he expected.
After all the hardship to break through to the Innate Realm, the total only adds
up to 188 years of life.
He finds it too little.
But the lifespan of humans is indeed fleeting, and it’s extremely difficult to
extend it.
For ordinary people, living past seventy is already very rare. Most people die in their fifties or sixties.
After seventy, every decade is a hurdle.
Those who live past a hundred can definitely be called centenarians.
120 years is the limit for the Mortal Realm.
Almost no one lives to be 120 years old.
If you break into the Acquired Realm and take good care of your body, living past 120 with little issue should be possible. For those at this realm, 140 is the limit.
In fact, those who can cultivate to the Acquired Realm are already rare.
Most people are struggling in the Mortal Realm.
The Innate Realm is a profound state of cultivation that ordinary people cannot even reach.
Mortals are like ants; those in the Acquired Realm are merely stronger ants, but only upon reaching the Innate Realm does one ascend to a new level.
Most Innate Realm experts can live beyond 150 years.
For someone like Qin Niu, who practices Life-Nurturing Techniques and is only at the early stage of the Innate Realm, to live nearly 190 years is alluring.
It’s equivalent to more than three times the lifespan of an ordinary person.
The key is that he’s only sixteen years old, which is a tremendous advantage.
Most Innate Realm experts are over a hundred years old, the kind of old men who are half-buried in the ground.
Being young has many advantages. It doesn’t just mean having a longer life to attempt breaking through to the next realm and time to accumulate strength, but it also means being more vigorous, making advancement relatively easier and the potential greater.
“It’s time to head back!”
Qin Niu glanced back at the Ancient Banyan Tree and the towering mountains, his heart still full of awe. However, compared to his previous trepidation, he now felt a bit more confidence and composure.
He believed that even if he were to encounter a half-demon or even a real demon beast at this moment, he would have the strength to fight.
With one step, he covered over three meters.
Moreover, his movements were as light as a swallow, hardly requiring any
effort.
He ran through the mountains, his pace getting faster and faster.
