Chapter 346: Chapter 277 Immortal Meridian

Mirror World.

Jiangyang Province.

Within Xia Country’s fixed base in the Mirror World.

After confronting Xingxiao, Lin Xing arrived at this place.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the laboratory, continuously checking the state of his physical body and consciousness.

Strength: 7.8 + 1.1 elder

Speed: 7.3 + 1.1 elder

Endurance: 8.2 + 1.1 elder

Spiritual Thought: 14.1 + 1.1 elder

Immortal Qi: 1.0→1.2

"The Immortal Qi has indeed grown over this period, but it’s still not sufficient..."

While Lin Xing was self-assessing, Xingxiao’s Illusion beside him spoke, "Brother Lin, do you still plan to cultivate?"

Xingxiao’s Illusion shook his head and said, "Forgive my bluntness, but I am quite familiar with the temperament and habits of the combined form of Taiqing Xingxiao."

"This person thinks highly of himself, yet he is unscrupulous in achieving his goals.

"He just retreated like that, not because he gave up on the idea of using force, but because your breakthrough to the third inheritance was unexpected. If he had fought you in the hotel just now, he wasn’t absolutely sure he could control you."

"But this doesn’t mean he has given up on taking action."

"Instead, it will only make him strike more fiercely and swiftly next time."

"Right now, he’s probably already rallying various factions’ powerhouses, distributing interests, preparing for your next encirclement. And this won’t take long."

"I believe he will strike again tomorrow at the earliest or the day after at the latest."

"This time, he will be fully confident and well-prepared, and it’s likely that people like the Great Bright Buddha, Divine Dragon Gang Leader, Bai Mei, and the Great Elder of Zhou Tian Sect, and the Gu She Fairy from the Spirit Treasure Sect will all take action."

"With so many masters attacking together, you won’t be able to confront them head-on."

"Instead, it would be better to leave immediately and hide in the Mirror World, where it will be difficult for them to find you. The longer you drag this out, the stronger you will become, and the greater your advantage will be. Once you elevate your realm to the peak of the third inheritance or even the fourth, you’ll be able to return at ease."

"So I suggest you leave now, the farther from the present world, the better."

While Xingxiao’s Illusion was analyzing the situation, believing that fleeing was the best option, Little Lin Xing on the other side snorted coldly, "Flee? Why flee?"

"Since they are planning to make a move, I think it’s better to strike first."

He chuckled and said, "Let’s just sneak up on them now and slaughter them one by one. That way, it’ll just be one on one, and they won’t have a chance to gang up on us."

"Just spill blood until it flows like a river, and there won’t be so many troubles."

Seeing that Lin Xing was ignoring him, Little Lin Xing urged, "Did you hear that? Move quickly. Can you cultivate enough Immortal Qi by just sitting here?"

"Immortal Qi, it’s said to be unfettered, free, and at ease, and thus it generates naturally."

"Being threatened and barging into the enemy’s home to kill his entire family in the night, that’s what being unfettered and at ease means."

"Such unity of knowledge and action is much more useful than you sitting here foolishly cultivating."

Although Xingxiao’s Illusion disagreed with Little Lin Xing’s last suggestion, he nodded and said, "To spontaneously generate rapidly growing Immortal Qi, one must be without sect, without position, without fame, without a teacher, without restraints, free and at ease."

"The best course of action would be to leave your current forces and wander in the Mirror World alone for a while."

"If you flee now, leaving Xia Country and your former companions, it precisely fits the secret technique of an Independent Immortal for generating Immortal Qi."

"And when the Immortal Qi is strong enough, you can forge your internal Immortal Meridian and start preparing for the upgrade of the third inheritance."

While the two were persuading Lin Xing, they suddenly saw him raise his left arm, and with several flashes of sword light, he cleanly severed his left arm at the shoulder.

Looking at the wound, which was as smooth as a mirror, both Little Lin Xing and Xingxiao’s Illusion were slightly stunned.

Then, watching Lin Xing’s actions after grabbing the severed arm, Little Lin Xing burst into laughter:

"Great job! That’s ruthless! Hahaha, how did you think of this? I never considered this use for the Six Secret Immortal Refining."

Xingxiao’s Illusion also showed surprise: "Using the Six Secret Immortal Refining to accelerate cultivation?"

He was very familiar with the cultivation process of the third inheritance but had never seen anyone use Lin Xing’s method before.

The cultivation process of the third inheritance varies among different sects and traditions, but generally, it involves transforming from human to superhuman. Some sects focus on resources, some on disposition, some on the innate quality of roots and bones, some need heirlooms passed down through generations, some require completing a certain ritual or symbol...

He had also learned about the specific cultivation path of an Independent Immortal from Lin Xing.

The first step is to strengthen the Immortal Qi, the second step is to gradually let the Immortal Qi penetrate the whole body, combining the scenery with the physical body, and finally forge the Immortal Meridian.

Upon reaching this second step, the physical body progressively transcends the mundane, distinguished from ordinary flesh, forming the basis for the upgrade of the third inheritance.

Like the powerful individuals of the third inheritance from the Nine Great Sects, no matter what their cultivation path is, they are no longer of mortal flesh in the end; their body structure and various characteristics are vastly different from those of ordinary people.

"Independent Immortal... should first enhance the immortal qi, then create the Immortal Meridian, and finally unlock the Triple Transmission Sublimation."

While observing through Xingxiao’s Illusion, Lin Xing chopped off his arm, then began to refine the severed limb using the Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique, just as Little Lin Xing had refined corpses before.

Paths of black runes symbolic of the Six Secrets spread over the severed limb, penetrating the skin, muscles, bones, and blood vessels...

Although the overall shape of the arm underwent no significant changes, its essence had become markedly different from the original severed limb.

"Now, Lin Xing is actually using the Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique to... directly modify his physical body?"

"To refine his physical body like a magical treasure?"

"Is his target for modification... the Immortal Meridian?"

Watching Lin Xing work adeptly, Xingxiao’s Illusion pondered, "What technique is this? You operate it so familiarly; it surely isn’t something you’ve just thought of recently, is it?"

Hearing the question from Xingxiao’s Illusion, Lin Xing nodded and asked a question, "Both of you don’t know the method to create this Fake Immortal Meridian?"

"To truly channel immortal qi throughout the body, integrating the pattern with the physical form, the Immortal Meridian crafted in that way can accommodate four types of Triple Transmission Sublimation."

"Whereas a Fake Immortal Meridian is much weaker, likely being able to host only two types of Triple Transmission Sublimation."

"However, this is also a very good shortcut method, first creating a Fake Immortal Meridian to boost strength, then gradually enhancing the immortal qi, allowing the Fake Immortal Meridian to slowly transform into a True Immortal Meridian."

Seeing that Little Lin Xing and Xingxiao’s Illusion didn’t know this, memories regarding the Fake Immortal Meridian surfaced once more in Lin Xing’s mind.

Having entered the Third Legacy, with a massive revival of cultivation memories, the method to create the Fake Immortal Meridian also emerged in his mind.

However, following his breakthrough, he faced the anomaly in New Ke City, and a series of events left him with no time to properly assimilate these memories, nor the opportunity to try out the method of crafting the Fake Immortal Meridian.

"The method to create the Fake Immortal Meridian is unknown even to Little Lin Xing and Xingxiao."

"Where did I obtain it then?"

Lin Xing shook his head, momentarily casting aside these currently unsolvable questions, and refocused his attention on the severed arm.

Outside the laboratory, through the observation window, numerous staff members were shocked as they watched Lin Xing chop off his arm.

"What is Lin Xing doing?"

"Should we call the medical team?"

"Seems not necessary?"

The staff members all glanced towards Bai Yiyi, hoping that Lin Xing’s master could decide.

Bai Yiyi, equally shocked by the scene, thought, "Lin Xing has already trained to this point? Cutting off his own arm for practice?"

Suddenly thinking about being manipulated by Lin Xing, Bai Yiyi’s heart tightened, "Lin Xing is playing so harshly, he wouldn’t dissect me in the future, would he?"

However, in response to everyone’s questions, she maintained her composure and stated, "It’s fine, this is a normal part of cultivation."

Moments later, Lin Xing reattached the severed arm.

Under his control, the arm, covered in black runes, moved like a living thing. It wriggled around the wound and appeared to regrow, leaving no trace of any cut.

However, as soon as the severed arm was reattached and became part of Lin Xing’s body again, the Six Secret Runes instantly dispersed.

But when Lin Xing tried to raise his left arm, he found it somewhat uncontrollable and shook his head helplessly.

"Failed."

On the other side, Bai Yiyi pulled out a cat doll and gently squeezed it. An explosion burst from Lin Xing’s chest, and his body was swiftly engulfed in flames.

When Lin Xing came to his senses, his left arm was still properly connected to his body, without a single scratch.

If Lin Xing, like during the previous anomaly in New Ke City, took his own resentment as a catalyst to actively perform time travel, it would cause Little Lin Xing to further merge and influence him.

But being killed by someone and performing time reversal still remained as before; it wouldn’t hasten Little Lin Xing’s influence on him.

Thus, after the time reversal, Lin Xing again severed his arm to refine it using the Six Secret Immortal Refining.

Although Lin Xing possessed the memory of how to create a Fake Immortal Meridian, proficient operation still required practice.

Especially concerning modifications to his own physical body, any slight mistake could create significant issues.

Though Lin Xing had also practiced blood and flesh refining like Little Lin Xing, the precision required for the two tasks was vastly different.

Corpse Refining merely treated the flesh as a weapon for crude movement and accumulation, but a Fake Immortal Meridian required the precise construction to liberate the body from mortal constraints.

Therefore, at this moment, Lin Xing sought to refine his own body and intended to first engage in extensive practice.

Fortunately, what he lacked least was the time to practice.

And his first practice target was the repair of his left arm.

Thus, with recurring time reversals, Lin Xing practiced across numerous time rewinds, from basic refining, to flesh healing, to reassembly... He felt he had spent roughly over eight months to truly integrate the relevant memories of the Fake Immortal Meridian.

Then he began to practice on his right arm.

Given his practice with the left arm, he felt he took only about a month to become familiar with everything about the right arm.

Next were both legs, after ten continuous months of tireless effort, Lin Xing not only memorized the structure of the legs thoroughly but also clearly understood the process of crafting every section of the Fake Immortal Meridian in the left leg.
