  Still that small mound, still that not very big big tree.

  Its branches and leaves swayed, making a rustling sound. It seemed inconspicuous, but it had indeed survived from ancient times to the present. When gods fell, it did not perish. This was the Longevity Tree. No one knew its origin, and even it itself had long forgotten.

  Jiang Xiaoyu had arrived at this place, and just now he passed by the indigenous people's residence, seeing that they were indeed packing their things. It seemed that after God's instructions, the indigenous people did not show any unusual behavior when they saw him.

  She stepped onto the earthen slope and Jiang Xiaoyu arrived under the tree.

  The branches and leaves of the Long Life Tree swayed at a slightly faster frequency, and after a brief moment, it transmitted a sound to Jiang Xiao Yu: "You're here."

  Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and smiled: "I came as promised, what's going on?"

  "Last time you broke the limit of your initial feeling, the holes reached one hundred and eight, do you know what that means?" The Longevity Tree did not answer, but instead asked back.

  Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head, he only knew that he could do this much, it was very impressive!

  Changsheng Tree continued: "The initial feeling is the beginning of all cultivation. Every acupoint contains a great treasure and a great secret. The human body has countless acupoints, but only a limited number can be opened. Seventy-two is indeed a limit. If you try to force open the rest, you'll fall with just one misstep. I have to say, opening 108 acupoints is truly against the heavens."

  Jiang Xiaoyu curled her lips, this is called strength, not luck! However, sometimes it seems that luck is also a kind of strength.

  Seemingly firm in his own thoughts, the Longevity Tree continued: "I have existed since ancient times and have seen many stunning figures. You may have some talent, but compared to those figures, there is still a considerable distance."

  This time, Jiang Xiaoyu finally showed his true colors. The Longevity Tree could almost see through its own system, so it was reasonable for him to say that.

  Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu's attitude turn positive, the Long Life Tree continued on the previous topic: "Initial sensation is the foundation. Sensing the breath of heaven and earth, opening up one's own acupoints. The longer one stays in this realm, the more acupoints are opened, which means that the future achievements will be even higher."

  "I remember in ancient times, there was a rebellious figure who had his own theory of cultivation. He broke through conventions, forcibly absorbing spiritual energy into his dantian, skipping the initial stage and directly entering the realm of qi hai. In the end, he walked out his own path. But ultimately, he still died on his own path."

  "Why?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked in puzzlement.

  Directly crossing the initial feeling, advancing into the ocean of energy, such a person is indeed against the heavens! Walking out a path that others cannot walk, unique and unparalleled!

  "The path is wrong." Changsheng Tree said directly: "I've already said it before, the initial feeling is the beginning of cultivation, and it can only be used as a starting point. Without acupoints to support it, no matter how strong the realm is, it's just an empty framework."

  So it was, Jiang Xiaoyu nodded vaguely, and he also understood the importance of the acupoint.

  "And you opened up 108 acupoints, I don't even dare to think about it. I remember in ancient times, there was a legendary figure who had passed through 99 acupoints when he was young and then advanced with great momentum, invincibly crushing everything in his path. Unfortunately, he too was eventually aged by time."

  Time is like a knife, an unavoidable cut for everyone. Even the mighty and divine will appear dull and without luster under this cut.

  However, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't have much feeling about this. He had always thought that life was just a few decades long! Although he had been in this world for some time, his mentality in this regard had not changed.

  He thinks that the most important thing for him right now is to solve the one hundred things, and the existence of gods and spirits is too far away for him. It's like a little kid who hasn't even graduated from elementary school yet, thinking about whether it's better to go to Tsinghua or Peking University when he grows up. The idea is not bad, but without hard work and practice, it can only be an empty dream.

  Striving to complete one hundred points seems to have no conflict with the path of the gods, but rather appears to be on the same path.

  Interrupting Jiang Xiaoyu's contemplation, the Longevity Tree's words seemed particularly numerous today. "You will break through the ancient and modern cultivation system and step into a new path. Haven't you discovered that you can no longer enter the Qi Sea now?"

  After hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu's face changed slightly. At first, he felt that he had entered the air sea, and the holes were connected in a line, spreading out the spiritual energy fluctuations, and the gentle spiritual energy could be absorbed into the dantian, advancing to the air sea!

  But now, one's own orifices can be connected in a line and can also fluctuate and spread out. Why is it unable to enter the Sea of Qi? The system has stipulated that it cannot enter, but it does not say why there is no way to go in.

  "Why?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked subconsciously.

  "Because your acupoints are more than twice as large as those of ordinary people, and there are too many of them. Even if it's the diffused spiritual energy, your dantian can't hold it." Longsheng Tree explained.

  It turned out that way, Jiang Xiaoyu nodded suddenly and then asked: "Then what should I do? Am I going to be trapped in this realm for the rest of my life?"

  "Embark on a new era, a new cultivation system, this is the path you must take." The Longevity Tree spoke with one word.

  The burden of this sentence is too great, and Jiang Xiaoyu can't help but feel a heavy weight on his shoulders. Creating a new era, a new cultivation system, neither of which are as simple as just talking about it. Since the opening of this world, the cultivation system has been set in stone, with everyone's cultivation path being the same. Countless geniuses have had their own ambitions and tried to do so, but what happened afterwards?

  Jiang Xiaoyu never thought he was a genius, compared to some people, as the Longsheng Tree said, he just had better luck. Falling from a high-rise building unexpectedly not only didn't die but also crossed over. Although crossing over got him a seemingly awesome system, it still came with a deadly setting.

  In some places, this system may be able to help itself, but in terms of innovation, it's really difficult. Because the books in the system are also the same, compared with the cultivation system of this world, they all follow the same routine. There isn't a single one that presents a new cultivation system! Maybe there are some novel ones, such as the "Fetal Movement Technique" and "Spiritual Energy Forging Divine Soldiers" I promoted earlier, which have some amazing aspects, but the cultivation system itself hasn't changed.

  And what he had to do was to create a new system based on the 108 acupoints! At that moment, three black lines appeared on Jiang Xiaoyu's forehead, and Alexander was shocked?! It turned out that one of the tasks in the system was to let him open up a new cultivation system...

  For his own hundred points, Jiang Xiaoyu humbly asked for advice: "I don't know, senior, is there any good advice?"

  Since the Evergreen Tree has found itself, it means that the other party has its own way of thinking here and must have a solution!

  "No." The Long Life Tree's reply was concise. "Because no one has ever reached this step, the next realm after Initial Sense is Qi Sea, and the next realm after Qi Sea is Cloud Ascension, followed by Dragon Transformation, then Divine Bridge. This principle has already taken deep root in the cultivator's heart, impossible to shake off."

  Jiang Xiaoyu was in trouble, and the Longevity Tree told himself the general location of his way, but he still had to find out where it was specifically.

  "You're still young, don't rush. As for the curse within you, I have a premonition that when you enter your next new realm, it may be broken. Its existence has its pros and cons, it's up to you to weigh them." Changsheng said no more after that.

  It would be better for Jiang Xiaoyu to digest what he said first, and it's not a good thing to pour everything in all at once.

  What about the evolution of the 108 orifices? Starting from the Qihai boundary, people's main cultivation is almost all concentrated in the Dantian. Clouds and dragons rise, transform, and bridge the gods. These are all done within the Dantian. The existence of the divine bridge means advancing to the other shore, unrestricted by heaven and earth, and coexisting with heaven and earth for eternity.

  After thinking for half a day, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't have any inspiration, but he had an advantage. That was that he wasn't from this world and didn't have such deep-seated thoughts! He had read many fantasy novels, maybe he could get some inspiration from them.

  "Is there anything else you want to entrust?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked abruptly.

  Changsheng Tree seemed to think for a moment before transmitting his voice: "There's nothing else."

  Is that all? Jiang Xiaoyu blinked her eyes, where was the heavenly material and earthly treasure in her fantasy?

  "Are you sure?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked helplessly.

  "Confirmed." Longsheng Tree has always been so calm.

  "Really?" Jiang Xiaoyu's face was full of surprise.

  "What's wrong?" asked Changsheng Tree in confusion.

  The other party kept asking and wouldn't let go, as if they had really forgotten something. Thinking carefully again, the Long Life Tree was certain that nothing else had happened.

  "Alright." Jiang Xiao Yu felt extremely disheartened.

  But thinking carefully, the gains of this month are already quite objective. For some heavenly treasures, he doesn't understand them at all. He just feels that things with spiritual energy are directly stored in the system space, and he doesn't know how much value the things he gained are worth. But there is one thing, that is, there are many things!

  While others were fighting, Jiang Xiaoyu was collecting.

  While others were fighting, Jiang Xiaoyu was collecting.

  While others were worried about the Divine Fruit, Jiang Xiaoyu was still collecting!

  Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up as she asked Changsheng Tree, "Senior, can you open the passage leading to the outside world?"

  The Longevity Tree is definitely more powerful than Shi Huang. If Shi Huang can open the passage to the ancient ruins from the outside world, then the Longevity Tree must be able to do so as well!

  As expected, the Longevity Tree transmitted a message saying: "Alright."

  Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly jumped up excitedly. Previously, he was worried that when he went out with a group of people and changed his identity, someone would notice something fishy. Now it seems that he doesn't need to worry about this problem anymore.

  "Can you send me out now?"

  "En... can." Generally, the answer of the Long Life Tree was always this concise.

  ————

  Everyone might as well guess how Jiang Xiaoyu will open up a new realm.
