I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 103 The Realm of Perfect Humanity (Part 2)

sleep!
Go back to sleep!
Change your position and continue sleeping.

The Sleep section of the "Nourishing the Body" chapter in the Xiuren Guan (修人观) is divided into three postures: side-lying, supine, and prone.

The side-sleeping position is the most orthodox, allowing for complete relaxation of the body and mind, smooth flow of energy throughout the body, and rapid recovery of mental state.

Sleeping on your back and lying on your stomach represent yin and yang, respectively, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and are only suitable for specific situations and specific uses.

Sleeping on your back like a corpse is the most relaxing, and the brain and body are in the deepest state of rest, which is equivalent to the body going on strike, naturally leading to blocked energy channels.

If one's yang energy is insufficient, sleeping on one's back may lead to sleep paralysis.

When you lie prone, like a tiger in a crouching position, your body compresses your lungs and makes your breathing rapid. This allows your body's energy channels to flow most smoothly. Although you are sleeping, your body's cells remain active, which is beneficial for enhancing the effects of exercise.

When things get urgent, the body's energy is depleted, which is why the recovery efficiency is the lowest. If a white-collar worker who doesn't exercise all day and whose spirit is greatly depleted sleeps in a state of exhaustion, it may lead to neurasthenia.

"........."

Wanxiang Laboratory.

Wang Zhui and Yu Jie looked at Chen Jing as if he were a humanoid monster.

Falling asleep instantly, with each sleep data point being different, means that the sleep state is controllable. What terrifying control is this?
"Bah!"

The pulse meter releases an electric current.

As the diagram of his body's energy channels was revealed, Chen Jing also awoke from his deep sleep.

Wang Zhui skillfully projected the data and reported, "This time, the sleep quality has surpassed the state of deep sleep for ordinary people. In terms of sleep quality, no one is known to be better than the boss."

Chen Jing analyzed the intention behind each movement in the "Nourishing the Body Techniques," understood the effects produced by the artistic conception, and used the seventh consciousness to continuously adjust the technique based on the data obtained each time he fell asleep.

He glanced at the light screen and shook his head again: "Something's not right here. There's still room to explore, and the yin energy is too strong..."

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

"........."

Chen Jing kept waking up and falling asleep.

I don't know how many times I repeated this, but when I woke up again, I felt refreshed, my breathing was smooth, and my body felt comfortable. I had finally found the balance point of sleep.

Seeing Wang Zhui and Yu Jie numbly preparing for the next experiment, he smiled and said, "That's enough!"

The dragon lies on its side, the tiger lies on its back, and half of the corpse lies on its back. The yin and yang are intertwined, and the curves on its side resemble the yin and yang of Tai Chi.

With the help of the instruments, Chen Jing finally found the yin and yang nodes of this body after the seventh consciousness was integrated.

"It's finally done!"

The way Wang Zhui and Yu Jie looked at Chen Jing was no longer one of reverence.

After working continuously for ten hours at high intensity, all that remained in his eyes was class hatred.

Wang Zhui breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally done! Actually, there's no need to rush, since neither of us has any projects on hand."

Chen Jing left the "Nourishing the Body Technique" in the Wanxiang Laboratory. As long as it doesn't involve the secrets of breaking through the limits of immortality, similar content can be found online as long as you are willing to spend the time. The difficulty lies in forming a complete system.

While the two were examining the manual, he said, "We've only completed the chapter on sleep. There's still the chapter on eating, and thirteen health-preserving techniques."

"You two might try the side-lying position tonight and play the sound of my breathing during my last sleep. It will help improve sleep quality. Let's try to complete all the experiments within four days."

Wang Zhui: "…………" Yu Jie: "…………"

Others are practicing the "Nourishing the Body" technique.

You just need to complete the repairs first, and then integrate it into your daily life.

Chen Jing's situation is different. After breaking through to the Bodhisattva realm, not only did his strength, speed, and the upper limit of his nerve reaction increase, but also the upper limit of other things such as food digestion, sleep quality, and endocrine regulation.

These attributes are not as intuitive as strength attributes, and are limited by past perceptions and ingrained habits.

Having lived as an ordinary person for twenty years without ever experiencing even a second of a higher level of human existence, he naturally didn't know how to utilize it. Whether it was inertia or a mental barrier, he simply continued to maintain the level of an ordinary person.

After breaking through the realm.

It's not that one's strength or lifespan increases dramatically in an instant.

In order to gain the wealth corresponding to one's new level of understanding and self-definition, one needs to rediscover and redefine oneself.

Normally, the process should begin with relearning how to sleep and eat, followed by learning how to sleep and eat better, and finally, making it an instinct for bodily functions.

However, Chen Jing had only recently completed the 'Xuanzang True Scripture' and had not yet had time to develop his cultivation realm, so he skipped the learning step and obtained data through repeated experiments, thus achieving the health-preserving state of the second realm of immortal cultivation in one step.

"........."

The next day, early morning.

Yu Jie and Wang Zhui both woke up at the same time and stayed in the lab last night instead of going home.

Using the side-lying sleeping method and then playing the sound of Chen Jing's breathing while sleeping on his side, he fell asleep completely and was able to continue his experiments.

In subsequent experiments, Chen Jing did not need to fall asleep. He remained conscious and could quickly adjust his physical state, which significantly increased the efficiency of the experiments.

The next day, in the afternoon.

The three of them finished the "Nourishing the Body" manual - the feeding chapter in just half a day.

The third day, in the evening.

The thirteen health preservation techniques were refined into two: a set of health maintenance exercises and a set of daily life habit health preservation methods, all in just one and a half days.

The process was faster than expected. The advanced version of the "Nourishing the Body Technique" was completely perfected in three days. Then, Chen Jing spent another day mastering the advanced version of the "Nourishing the Body Technique," which was considered as completing the foundation building of the "Life" cultivation.

The fifth day, early morning.

After completing his cultivation, Chen Jing returned to the laboratory to begin testing multidimensional attribute data of his body and constructing a brand-new body data model.

Ten minutes later, all the data was combined to form a body data model. The attribute values ​​did not change much, but the body condition changed from sub-healthy to healthy.

Wang Zhui compared the new data model with the original model and learned about the effectiveness of the "Nourishing the Body Technique". He then asked, "Boss, could you use your body's data model to deduce the theoretical upper limit of lifespan?"

Chen Jing nodded: "Okay!"

Wang Zhui incorporated the "Nourishing the Body Technique" as a parameter to further deduce the theoretical lifespan.

A light screen popped up, and even though I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Holy crap! Boss, your theoretical lifespan is actually 140 years!"

Yu Jie also came over to take a look, clicking his tongue in amazement: "One hundred and forty years old. Even with the gene optimization fluid from Lunar Palace Biotechnology, only a very few individuals can theoretically have such a long lifespan. Now, even the boss's lifespan is inhuman!"

The core concept of health preservation is to use the dragon to protect the tiger and the tortoise to enhance the body's recovery efficiency, reduce daily wear and tear, and minimize damage to one's innate vital energy.

The second-stage maintenance technique can even slow down the rate of cell division to a certain extent. Although it cannot escape the lifespan limit of the human race, it can postpone it to a certain extent, which can be regarded as obtaining a lifespan that is commensurate with the stage.

However, 140 years old is only a theoretical lifespan. It is impossible to maintain a healthy state indefinitely. It is inevitable that one's vital energy will be depleted. One can probably live to about 120 years old.
