Chapter 37: The Third Realm?
Chapter 37: The Third Realm?
After a series of bizarre and dazzling lights, the space itself seemed to become distorted.
Lu Xiaobai began to emanate a soft, ever-changing colored halo.
Magic surges forth, life is reconstructed!
Under the utterly shocked gazes of Lu Jin, Lu Linglong, and Lu Lin, Lu Xiaobai's body, along with his clothes, instantly became illusory and transparent.
Ultimately, it completely transformed into a flowing, purely colored halo of humanoid light.
It is not a fixed form, but rather like a living 'qi' that quietly flows and flickers in the morning light.
It is breathtakingly beautiful.
It exudes an absolute sense of mystery that transcends ordinary understanding.
It exudes a vast and mysterious energy fluctuation, which is an extension of Lu Xiaobai's will.
"To put it simply..."
"Compared to this, it requires a long period of time, carefully using precious 'innate Qi' to gradually 'devour' and replace the body's tissues until they are completely 'Qi-transformed'..."
Lu Xiaobai's ethereal voice seemed to appear out of thin air, clearly echoing in the air.
"According to my deduction..."
"Why not first fully fill your entire body with your 'acquired Qi'?"
"And based on this, continuously attempt to impact the entire body until the transformation of 'Qi' is completed!"
"After the body has fully adapted to and gained complete control over this 'Qi transformation' state."
"With one last burst of energy, transform this body, composed of 'acquired Qi,' into a higher level of 'innate Qi'!"
The colorful halo rippled in the wind, and his voice carried a calm that seemed to understand the essence of things:
"The latter process, while seemingly extremely dangerous, requires achieving the desired result in one step."
"In reality, as long as one has a solid foundation and a keen grasp of one's own Qi, it is possible."
"In practice, it is safer, more effective, and easier to operate than the previous 'nibbling' method."
That calm voice, that composed demeanor as if expounding profound truths…
In an instant, Lu Jin felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
Nearly a century has seemed to have flown backward in an instant!
He seemed to see the majestic gate of the Sanyi Sect before his eyes, and he could clearly hear his master's gentle and wise voice.
Back then, his master had patiently explained the mysteries of the Threefold Reversal of Life to him when he was still a young boy.
That earnest expectation for the younger generation and the selfless dedication to passing on knowledge are so similar to Lu Xiaobai's figure at this moment.
"Jin'er, the way of nature is natural, you mustn't be too rigid about it..."
My master's seemingly casual remark back then carried a hint of expectation for the future and concern about the established path.
At this moment, it was like a sudden awakening, constantly impacting Lu Jin's heart, which had been dormant for nearly a hundred years!
He stood frozen in place.
The intense fluctuations of the jade-white Qi around his body revealed the turmoil within his heart.
He stared at the ever-flowing, colorful light and shadow before him, a symbol of another possibility, his lips trembling slightly, yet he couldn't utter a single word.
yes……
He should have realized it sooner!
Back then, wasn't our master already a genuine master of the third level?
But the result?
In the end, he still...
That question, buried deep in my heart and buried for too long by overwhelming hatred, resurfaced clearly once again.
Did our master also see some limitations in this path of inheritance?
Or……
Was the Trinity Gate a false dream from the very beginning?
Lu Jin's face instantly turned deathly pale, even more so than when she was in her reverse-life state.
Looking at the colorful light and shadow that represented Lu Xiaobai's unique path, and feeling his own seemingly powerful but actually 'dead end' white Qi.
For the first time, he felt an unprecedented wavering regarding his lifelong pursuit.
"Grandpa...this...this is..."
Lu Lin's voice trembled; she was completely stunned.
His eyes were fixed on Lu Xiaobai, whose entire body was transformed into flowing colors and composed entirely of pure energy.
A word, like a thunderclap, roared wildly in his mind:
triple!
This is definitely a triple realm!
Although its form and aura are completely different from those recorded by the Sanyi Sect,
But its essence, which transcends flesh and blood and is completely transformed into Qi, is so similar to the legendary state of "ascending to immortality" where one achieves the triple perfection of rebirth!
This is a realm that only exists in the Sanyi Sect's books and the memories of the old master!
At this moment, it actually appeared right in front of him!
Lu Linglong, who was standing next to her, did not have a deep understanding of the mysteries of the Triple Rebirth, but the unimaginable fantasy scene in front of her still shattered her worldview.
A living person instantly transforms into a ball of qi that seems to possess the color of life.
Is this still a cultivation technique from another dimension?
Her mouth was slightly open, her eyes filled with pure astonishment and curiosity, as if she were in an incredible dream.
The light shimmered and turned gently, like the colorful clouds gathering.
The dreamlike colorful light and shadow instantly coalesced and materialized.
Lu Xiaobai's figure reappeared clearly in the same spot, his white clothes fluttering without wind, his expression as usual.
He gently flexed his wrist, his eyes calm as if the extraordinary "preaching" and miraculous transformation he had just witnessed were merely a trivial matter.
Only the rustling of leaves falling in the wind remained on the field; the air itself seemed to freeze.
The shimmering white aura surrounding Lu Jin gradually faded, and his skin, beard, hair, and pupils returned to their normal color.
He remained silent, saying nothing.
His chest rose and fell slightly, the turmoil in his heart had not yet subsided.
Lu Jin's eyes, weathered by time, now clearly reflected two undisguised emotions:
One is the ultimate shock that hasn't faded yet!
The other is a deep, heartfelt admiration!
His gaze was fixed on the white figure in front of him.
This kind of temperament: calm as a still pool of water, unmoved even if Mount Tai collapses before you.
This kind of virtue—unconventional, forgiving, and open-minded—is truly admirable.
This kind of talent: at a young age, one can glimpse the profound mysteries of the Great Dao and stand at a height that countless people look up to in their entire lives.
And the methods used were simply divine:
He was adept at everything from weapon crafting and formations to supernatural arts and Qi transformation, seemingly possessing an endless array of trump cards.
Each one is absolutely superb, each one is breathtaking!
Such a person... it's hard to describe. Lu Jin's eyes were filled with indescribable complexity.
Just how high can his realm reach, a height that is difficult to attain?
What kind of earth-shattering achievements will he create in the future?
Lu Jin is simply... unfathomable!
He took a deep breath, but the cool morning air couldn't dampen the excitement in his heart.
He just stared at Lu Xiaobai.
His eyes were both incredibly complex and incredibly bright.
He seemed to see a solitary, proud peak rising from the ground, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the era, its summit pointing straight to the heavens.
In the midst of this silence, Lu Jin's voice, slightly hoarse yet exceptionally clear, broke the stillness:
"Xiao Bai...you just mentioned...our Sanyi Sect's 'Triple Rebirth'."
"Is its 'Qi transformation' path...wrong?"
[Innate Qi: The energy one is born with, possessing the power to construct all things and encompassing all forms; once lost, it is extremely difficult to replenish!]
Acquired Qi: Energy existing between heaven and earth, constantly gathered below the dantian, flowing through the meridians, and can be replenished anytime, anywhere!
