Chapter 161: Chapter 134: Du Bai’s Admiration, The Path of Martial Arts, Life and Death Technique Second Realm: Withered Wood Welcoming Spring!_3

***Zzzzz!!!***

Strange sounds echoed, as if Lu Sheng’s skin were being scorched by flames under the stimulation of the deathly silence Qi.

Along with his skin, Lu Sheng’s flesh also started to turn black and fester.

Waves of stabbing pain constantly jabbed at his nerves.

Lu Sheng’s brows occasionally furrowed, but his heart grew increasingly calm.

"The Ancient Temple Star is filled with deathly silence Qi. What I need to do... is to understand the transformation properties of the Life and Death Technique, which is a cultivation technique of turning death to life."

"Death to life!"

"The most crucial part is the ’life’ aspect!"

"What I need... is to find a trace of vitality in this desolate world!"

As his heart grew calmer, the deathly silence Qi outside continuously poured into Lu Sheng’s body, corroding his skin and flesh, but Lu Sheng’s understanding of this deathly silence Qi only deepened.

"Why can the deathly silence Qi give birth to Yellow Sand Beasts?"

A question quietly surfaced in Lu Sheng’s mind.

He recalled the explanation given to him by the previous Guardian during their handover.

"Yellow Sand Beasts are special creatures formed by the condensation of deathly silence Qi!"

The voice of the previous Guardian echoed in Lu Sheng’s mind. The next moment, a bright idea flashed in his mind, and he firmly grasped it.

"Deathly silence Qi... condenses into creatures... life..."

"There must be a spark of vitality within the deathly silence! Otherwise, Yellow Sand Beasts couldn’t possess life, even though their essence is the deathly silence Qi!"

"So, there must be life Qi within the deathly silence Qi!"

Lu Sheng’s eyes instantly gleamed brilliantly. His body slightly trembled, and the Life and Death Technique immediately activated. The deathly silence Qi between heaven and earth instantly surged into Lu Sheng’s body.

In an instant, as the deathly silence Qi corroded his body, waves of stabbing pain spread from his meridians and bones.

However, Lu Sheng seemed oblivious, continuously refining strands of deathly silence Qi, tracing its origins.

Finally...

A trace of vitality suddenly burst forth from the deathly silence Qi and entered Lu Sheng’s body, causing one of his internal injuries to completely heal under this trace of vitality.

"I... found it!"

Lu Sheng roared in a low voice and suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, a subtitle appeared in Lu Sheng’s vision.

***Ding, the Life and Death Technique has been upgraded to Level 2!***

With the sound of the subtitle, a realization filled Lu Sheng’s mind.

In the next instant, the deathly silence Qi that had been destroying his body immediately became docile. Under the washing of his Qi Blood, all traces of vitality within the deathly silence Qi were stimulated and entered Lu Sheng’s body.

At this moment, a powerful aura howled out from Lu Sheng’s body.

The previously festering skin, scorched and decayed, began to slowly heal. New flesh buds started emerging from the rotten flesh.

Previously, under the stimulation of the deathly silence Qi, Lu Sheng’s physical body resembled a decaying tree. But now, under the wash of vitality, the decaying tree began to sprout new leaves.

The withered wood... started to welcome spring!

"Is this the second realm of the Life and Death Technique, Withered Wood Welcoming Spring?"

Lu Sheng felt the changes within his body. He could sense that his Longevity Realm had experienced some transformations.

Even though his Longevity Realm had already reached its limit, it advanced further with these changes.

It still hadn’t broken through, but Lu Sheng could tell that his battle capability had increased significantly.

Lu Sheng let out a long breath, his gaze focused, and the system panel appeared once more.

***Profession: Martial Artist***

***Realm: Golden Body (25/100)***

***Immortal Technique: (43/100) Level 1***

***Life and Death Technique: (1/100) Level 2***

***Heaven-Stepping Step: (80/100) Level 1***

***Five Elements Mini World: (70/100) Level 1***

***Longevity Realm: (MAX)***

***Great Five Elements Fist: (MAX)***

***Five Elements Realm: (MAX)***

***Basic Mechanical Prosthetic Maintenance: (88/100) Level 5***

***Basic Martial Arts Mastery: (1/100) Level 8***

"After advancing to the second realm of the Life and Death Technique, my cultivation has also increased, including the Immortal Technique, which has progressed by two points."

"I’m getting closer to the mid-stage of the fourth tier!"

Looking at the system panel, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but smile. With a slight thought, the panel slowly faded away.

Lu Sheng looked around, stood up, and with a wave of his hand, swept away the sand, revealing the Yellow Sand Beasts hidden within.

"Perish!"

Lu Sheng softly uttered a word and gently pressed down with his palm. A terrifying force erupted. The surrounding Yellow Sand Beasts didn’t even have time to scream before they were annihilated.

"Now... I have no idea what level my battle capability has reached."

Lu Sheng spoke softly. On the Ancient Temple Star, there were only Yellow Sand Beasts and no other creatures to test his strength against, so he wasn’t sure of his current battle level.

"If I compare it to the Molong Tower exam, I could at least reach beyond the 85th floor!"

"However, I’m also about to break through to the mid-stage of the fourth tier. By then... facing even late-stage Transcendents, I won’t be afraid!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly and walked towards the shelter.

Back at the shelter, Lu Sheng opened the Life Factions exchange list and exchanged all his remaining credits for Life and Death Fruits.

Soon, the Life and Death Fruits were transmitted to him via the teleportation array.

Lu Sheng held the Life and Death Fruit in his hand and sat cross-legged on the meditation mat in the shelter.

"Now, I can continue cultivating the Life and Death Technique, and maybe break through to the mid-stage of the fourth tier!"

Lu Sheng took out a Life and Death Fruit and put it in his mouth. The Life and Death Technique instantly activated, beginning to refine the energy within the Life and Death Fruit.
