Chapter 489: Improving Strength, Three Distinct Forms (2)

Chapter 489: Improving Strength, Three Distinct Forms (2)Before long, his height stabilized at 1.85 meters. His streamlined muscles seemed almost sculpted as they lost their sense of overwhelming aggression. This was his original appearance.

“This first form, I shall name Disguise. It reigns supreme in the Golden Body Realm.”

Then, he suddenly unleashed his physical strength. His body rapidly expanded to tower at over ten meters. He resembled an ancient giant descending upon the mortal world, emanating an oppressive aura that suffocated everything around him.

“This second form will be called Asura. It is invincible in the Dao Union Realm.”

Next, he fully unleashed the inner qi within his body.

The 1,019 meridians roared to life, every aperture surging with unrestrained power. The air around him twisted into whirlpools, and his entire being was engulfed by the dual energies of blade and sword qi. Ice and fire coexisted in perfect harmony around his form.

“This third form shall be called Demon God. It can contend with a quasi-Saint.”

Li Xiaofei’s thoughts were crystal clear as he evaluated his newfound strength. He spent the next half day repeatedly testing and stabilizing his three forms, ensuring complete mastery over his strength. Once he was fully in control, he returned to contemplating the next steps in his cultivation journey.

For now, he remained in the Meridian Expanding Realm. The twelve principal meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were the twenty innate meridians granted by nature.

The 999 additional qi meridians were the result of painstaking work through secret techniques. Together, they formed a total of 1,019 channels. A perfect balance, a union of the innate and the acquired.

This was exactly what Li Xiaofei had envisioned as the ultimate pinnacle of the Meridian Expanding Realm. Though he might still be able to continue carving more qi meridians with his current physical condition, increasing the postnatal qi channels beyond 1,000 or even further, he decided against it. This was because his aunt had once warned him, back when he was in the Qi Refining Realm:

More is good. But one must not pursue more blindly. Nothing in this world is perfect. No realm is ever truly flawless. The so-called 'perfection lies in imperfection' exists for this very reason.

To Li Xiaofei, his aunt was a godlike figure. Listening to her advice and being a good boy was one of the mottos he lived by.

“Next, it’s time for the Five Spirits Realm,” he muttered to himself.

The Five Spirits refer to the five major organs: the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Nurturing the five spiritual organs is a crucial step for martial artists to elevate their postnatal life essence. The Five Spirits Realm is also a significant barrier in martial cultivation. To cross it is akin to a carp leaping over the dragon gate. But how does one nurture the Five Spirits?

Li Xiaofei pondered deeply as he began contemplating the next stage of his journey. Li Xiaofei had done some re

All these legendary martial arts techniques, thought to exist only in wuxia novels from five hundred years ago, were now casually strewn about like cabbages at a roadside market. Each title was enough to make Li Xiaofei, a martial arts fanatic, tremble with excitement and salivate uncontrollably.

Jackpot!

There were so many top-tier martial arts manuals. And they weren’t just from the Jin Yong martial arts dimension; there were also supreme techniques from Huang Yi’s high-martial dimensions.

Li Xiaofei quickly turned to Little Nine. There had to be even more powerful techniques hidden within this husky. Perhaps it even had cultivation methods for immortality or celestial arts.

For some reason, Little Nine’s mismatched eyes suddenly seemed more charming; its plump and robust body exuded strength; its intelligent gaze held a profound understanding of the world; and its luxurious coat radiated a natural noble elegance...

“Brother, since fate has brought us together like this, why don’t we swear an oath and become sworn brothers of different species and surnames?” Li Xiaofei suggested earnestly.

Little Nine stared at him, dumbfounded. Its doggy face was frozen in an expression of disbelief.
