Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

"Uncle Zhang, I want...to fix them all!"

Li Xiaoan extended her fair fist, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

But his tone was resolute.

Zhang Tiansheng was slightly taken aback:

"You're so greedy!"

He reached out and gently tapped Li Xiaoan's head twice.

Li Xiaoan smiled shyly, but her eyes remained firm in her resolve.

Since there are two paths to sainthood—physical enlightenment and spiritual enlightenment—why can't we cultivate both?

As Lord Li Yuan once said: All roads in the world are built step by step by our predecessors.

The path is never fixed, and there are never any rigid rules or regulations; it all depends on whether you have the innovative mindset and ability to think outside the box.

Zhang Tiansheng pondered for a moment: "In that case, we might as well give it a try."

"Look at those roads, and see how far they can lead."

Even the Heavenly Emperor harbors some long-deduced methods of cultivation within his heart...

Li Xiaoan was unaware that he had become the Heavenly Emperor's training guinea pig.

Zhang Tiansheng seemed to be tired of standing, and suddenly took a few steps to turn around and sit cross-legged on the bluestone where he usually rested.

Li Xiaoan is also very thoughtful.

He walked quietly to Zhang Tiansheng's side, knelt down on one knee, and placed his hands on his knee, assuming the posture of a disciple listening attentively.

Zhang Tiansheng gazed into the void, as if he had seen all three thousand Great Daos.

"The path to physical sainthood is a method of cultivating the treasures of the human body. It takes the body as its root, bones as its foundation, and flesh and blood as its fuel..."

Zhang Tiansheng's calm voice rang out, seemingly real yet ethereal, otherworldly and otherworldly.

In the darkness, the power of the Great Dao converged, the Heavenly Dao listened, and the Three Realms fell silent.

This serene voice seemed to be the sole truth of all things, the origin of the pervasive Daoist charm.

As Zhang Tiansheng explained the principles of cultivation, echoes reverberated in the void, as if countless great Daos were resounding and responding.

Li Xiaoan listened attentively, becoming completely absorbed in the boundless sea of ​​Daoist principles.

Anshan was trembling, as if it were being subjected to some kind of unbearable pressure from the Dao.

Despite this pressure, the spirituality of Ansan as a whole is rapidly increasing.

On the summit of Anshan Mountain, within the pale golden cocoon, Li Yuan's tightly closed eyelids trembled a few times.

It was as if one could 'see' the endless ocean of the Great Dao.

As Zhang Tiansheng began his sermon, the entire Three Realms fell silent.

Time and space seemed to freeze, rivers and seas stood still, and countless living beings remained motionless.

Even the howling wind fell silent.

Li Xiaoan listened with rapt attention, as if he were standing beside the Great Dao, unfolding its true meaning before his eyes.

Zhang Tiansheng's voice seemed particularly domineering. If the Great Dao were to obscure it, his voice would seem to transform into a super-powerful force, dispersing all the Great Daos and leaving Li Xiaoan to comprehend them.

Under such circumstances, Li Xiaoan's understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth improved rapidly.

Zhang Tiansheng intentionally wanted Li Xiaoan to observe all the true meanings of the Great Dao.

He wanted to cultivate a being whose physical body could become a saint by cultivating the mind to connect with the heavens.

What was it like then?

If it doesn't work, we can always rewrite it.

The Heavenly Emperor has thought things through very thoroughly.

If my plan fails...

No, no, no, I will only succeed.

Li Xiaoan slowly awoke from his comprehension of the Great Dao. He blinked, thinking that a long time should have passed.

However, when he looked up at the sky, the angle of the sun seemed to have not changed at all.

Li Xiaoan turned her head to look at Zhang Tiansheng, only to see a mysterious and inscrutable smile on the other's lips.

"If you can reach that level someday, then you will barely have the ability to protect yourself in the Three Realms."

Zhang Tiansheng spoke in a very calm tone.

Li Xiaoan pondered: "So this is what it means to barely have the ability to protect oneself."

"Lord Li Yuan often said that with so many gods and monsters coexisting in the Three Realms, there must be hidden talents among them. He told me not to think that just because I follow the gods, I can look down on others."

"Indeed, the Three Realms are unfathomably deep and extremely dangerous..."

The child sighed, as if he could already see the scene where reclusive masters were hidden in every nook and cranny of the Three Realms.

Zhang Tiansheng's lips curled slightly, but he remained silent.

In the Three Realms, no one can defeat him, so how can that not be considered a form of self-preservation?

Zhang Tiansheng taught Li Xiaoan Taoist magic for a while.

Then, they began to subject the child's body to inhumane torture.

Zhang Tiansheng led Li Xiaoan to a small pond.

He pointed, and the pool water began to boil.

"You have half a quarter of an hour to learn how to absorb spiritual energy into your body on your own."

"In half an hour, regardless of whether you have mastered the art of gathering qi, I will throw you into this boiling pool."

Zhang Tiansheng's words were indifferent, as if they contained no emotion whatsoever.

Li Xiaoan swallowed hard and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, sensing the spiritual energy in the air.

However, two minutes later, Li Xiaoan was somewhat discouraged:

"Uncle Zhang, won't you teach me some cultivation techniques or something?"

Zhang Tiansheng stood with his hands behind his back:

"I will not teach any ordinary martial arts techniques."

"The mental cultivation method, the mental cultivation method, if you can comprehend the Dao on your own, it will surpass all the mundane skills in the world."

Li Xiaoan raised her delicate eyebrows slightly.

So, it means you have no techniques, no experience, and you have to figure out the path yourself!

He recalled the feeling of his mind wandering freely on the Great Dao, and began to calm his mind and try to absorb spiritual energy.

Whether it was because Zhang Tiansheng had given him a powerful boost or not, Li Xiaoan only spent three minutes sensing the presence of spiritual energy from the invisible tremors in his body.

It then used its flesh, blood, bones, and muscles to summon spiritual energy and successfully absorbed it into its body.

Zhang Tiansheng stood aside, watching quietly, his eyes also brightening slightly.

Absorbing spiritual energy into the physical body!

They have strayed from the path of absorbing spiritual energy through mental techniques!

Sure enough, this is going to be fun!

As expected, Li Xiaoan was thrown into the boiling water.

He screamed in pain instantly, his hands and feet flailing wildly.

"Calm your mind and focus your energy."

Zhang Tiansheng simply uttered four words in a low voice and then ignored him.

It was as if he wouldn't care even if Li Xiaoan were scalded to death in boiling water.

Li Xiaoan endured excruciating pain all over his body, his face flushed red, like a shrimp about to be cooked.

He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stop shouting.

Li Xiaoan's body was trembling and roaring, as if it was about to release all its spiritual energy at once.

However, Li Xiaoan forcibly controlled himself, using his spiritual energy little by little, so as not to deplete his spiritual energy in an instant.

If the spiritual energy is depleted, he might truly become a 'familiar face' on Anshan Mountain.

About half an hour later, the boiling water was no longer so scalding hot.

Li Xiaoan's skin was bright red, like the color of vermilion.

Zhang Tiansheng looked at it for a moment, then waved his hand and scooped it up.

But this is just the beginning.

Zhang Tiansheng then led Li Xiaoan to a cliff and repeatedly pushed him off.

Li Xiaoan nearly died from his first fall.

If I hadn't instinctively protected my head, I probably would have died from the fall.

But as soon as Zhang Tiansheng raised his hand, Li Xiaoan's injuries were completely healed.

"This is the arduous path to physical immortality, a journey fraught with peril, where one must push their potential to its limits in order to unlock the treasures of the human body and open the gates to heaven."

Are you scared?

Looking at Li Xiaoan, who was covered in blood, Zhang Tiansheng couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiaoan was still panting, somewhat dazed.

His legs trembled as he walked to the edge of the cliff, glanced at the drop of over ten meters, and said in a trembling voice:

"afraid."

Looking at Li Xiaoan, who was pale-faced but had walked to the edge of the cliff on his own, Zhang Tiansheng nodded slightly.

"Then continue."
