Xiaoxiao.

Kuang Zheng sped along, his fingers tapping repeatedly on Wu Ren's acupoints.

At this moment, Wu Ren was in a very bad state, with violent spiritual energy raging wildly within his body like a runaway horse.

If the situation cannot be calmed down immediately, the consequences could be dire.

Even after sealing several major acupoints, the spiritual energy within his body did not calm down.

Instead, it kept impacting the various acupoints, once, twice, ten times, a hundred times! The uncontrolled spiritual energy went completely berserk.

"Ugh!" Crimson blood spilled from the corner of Wu Ren's mouth, blooming like specks of red plum blossoms. Intense pain surged like a tide, causing him to involuntarily groan unconsciously.

His face was as pale as rice paper, and sweat rolled down his forehead like oil droplets.

However, the spiritual energy within his body did not calm down because of his pain; instead, it became even more rampant, like surging waves, tirelessly launching attacks again and again.

Each strike was stronger than the last, and the spiritual energy accumulated like a snowball.

To give an analogy: Wu Ren's acupoints are like an indestructible iron gate, while his meridians are like fragile pipes, and his spiritual energy is like a surging river.

Under normal circumstances, the gate opens and closes freely, the pipeline expands and contracts appropriately, and the water flow is continuous.

But now, the sluice gate (acupoint) is tightly closed, and the water flow (spiritual energy) is like a wild horse, frantically launching one violent impact after another against the pipe.

As the water continues to accumulate, the originally flexible pipes (veins) expand continuously, and the pipe walls become thinner and thinner, as if they might burst at any moment.

In general, acupoints are facing the crisis of being broken, meridians are at risk of bursting, and spiritual energy has the hidden danger of exploding.

Under such circumstances, it might be possible to barely maintain this state when the spiritual energy is normal, but the problem is that this is Penglai Planet, where the spiritual energy is cut off.

"What should we do? Zheng-ge, is Wu-ren in danger?" Ying Yue's face was full of worry, as if shrouded in a dark cloud.

"It's hard to say for sure right now, but the situation is extremely dire. He's already in a deep coma, and even if he were awake, he wouldn't be of any use. Sigh..." Kuang Zheng's voice was heavy as lead.

"Because of the lack of external spiritual energy, even when you are awake, it is difficult to guide the spiritual energy in your body to circulate in an orderly manner, is that right?" Ying Yue's words revealed a hint of despair.

"Not only that, this surge of spiritual energy came on fiercely, with a speed like a sudden storm, catching everyone off guard. Even if he can still remain conscious, he is unable to regulate his breathing; the spiritual energy within his body is completely out of control..."

"What's even more troublesome is that although I have sealed his five major acupoints, the spiritual energy in his body is like a wild horse, violently impacting the acupoints again and again. If I'm not careful, the acupoints will be broken, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Moreover, it's not just the rampant spiritual energy and the danger of the acupoints being breached, but also the continuous accumulation of spiritual energy in front of the five major acupoints. If this continues, even if the acupoints are not breached, the meridians will burst due to the excessive accumulation of spiritual energy. At that time, even if a deity descends to earth, it will probably be difficult to save them!" Kuang Zheng's words were filled with helplessness.

"Then... will it be the same as Fifth Brother and the others?" Ying Yue asked worriedly.

“If we cannot find a solution, then… alas!” Kuang Zheng sighed.

"How could this be, how could this be..." Ying Yue's tears flowed like a burst dam.

"Alas... I never expected that a single mission would completely rewrite our fate. Alas..." Kuang Zheng sighed to the heavens.

"Fifth Brother and the others were such heroes, but who would have thought... that now it's Wu Ren's turn. Do we... do we still have any hope? Waaah..." Ying Yue's heart was filled with pessimism.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We haven't reached the end of our rope yet," Kuang Zhengqiang said, trying to appear calm and composed.

“By the way, Zheng-ge’er. I’ve brought back that spiritual energy statue. Do you think it can be used now… But Wu-ren is unconscious right now, how can he absorb it! Waaah…” Ying Yue completely panicked, watching helplessly as her teammates, who were even kinder to her than her own brothers, left one by one. Now it was Wu-ren’s turn. At this moment, she could no longer suppress the panic in her heart.

Looking at Ying Yue's expression, which resembled that of a frightened deer, Kuang Zheng felt a pang of pity.

Without hesitation, he hugged her tightly, his hands gently stroking her back as if comforting a frightened little animal.

To be honest, at this moment, Kuang Zheng's heart was also filled with despair.

They had only obtained those inheritances by chance. However, whether it was because of the great age of the inheritances or because the inheritances themselves had flaws, their inheritances lacked a clear structure and specific cultivation methods. They were more like an incomplete cultivation outline.

Therefore, at the beginning, they couldn't even do the most basic cultivation, but their innate true energy was unknowingly transformed into spiritual energy for cultivation.

Although their strength was greatly enhanced, this also completely cut off their path to survival.

Because spiritual energy exists between heaven and earth, it needs to be absorbed and refined, and this relies on profound cultivation techniques.

However, the spiritual energy of Penglai Planet has long been depleted, which is tantamount to a death sentence for them!

Spiritual energy is not like true energy. As long as you practice step by step through the martial arts manuals you have learned, you may be able to generate a sense of energy over time.

Spiritual energy either exists or it doesn't exist; there is no intermediate state.

Unless there is a higher level of immortal energy conversion, but the problem is that spiritual energy is exhausted, so where will immortal energy come from?

Besides the essential "qi," the profound secrets of the esoteric arts are also a major issue.

Cultivation techniques can generally be categorized as a type of martial arts manual, but they are also profound teachings, at the very least essential methods of the Xuanmen (mystical sect), belonging to the category of wordless heavenly books.

This is precisely why those great masters need to pass on their teachings orally.

First, the law should not be lightly transmitted; second, the law should not be lightly transmitted.

The concept of "cannot" refers to the principle of predestined affinity. If there is a connection, then there is a connection; if there is no connection, then it cannot be forced.

The "cannot" means that the law has no words, no books. It cannot be followed step by step, let alone widely disseminated.

The practice is not only a profound and mysterious method, but also a great and wise saying.

It also requires the master's "breath," which is the inheritance of the master's lineage.

This is why, regardless of school, sect, or doctrine, although there are countless disciples, only a few truly excel.

The concept of fate is mysterious and often misunderstood. This is why, even when a master has chosen a successor, it is often other disciples who achieve widespread fame.

This is the mystery of the law of cause and effect!

It is independent of human will!

Besides the law of fate, there is also the law of the Tao.

The so-called "Great Evolution of Forty-Nine, Escape to Earth One".

Everyone can become that "one," and this is the great principle of impartiality that gives everyone an opportunity.

Having received the inheritance, they should have become the "one".

Born on the spiritually depleted Penglai planet, this "one" seems to have become nothingness.

Despite their best efforts to find a solution, the discovery of the spirit object opened a crack in the wall.

However, the number of spiritual items is limited and cannot meet the demand.

Moreover, the spiritual energy contained in spiritual objects is extremely complex and often requires a large amount of spiritual energy to purify and condense.

If absorbed directly without purification, there is even a risk of going into qi deviation.

The so-called purification is nothing more than absorbing all the mixed spiritual energy at once and then letting it run rampant in the body.

To put it bluntly, it's about using physical harm to tame spiritual energy.

This is a desperate measure, yet even with such miraculous results, such spiritual energy is still extremely rare.

Since the resources in the world are limited, how could they possibly be inexhaustible?

Even if all the spiritual treasures of Penglai Planet were found, they would eventually run out, making this a path that could not be followed...

The spiritual energy contained within a spirit object, once absorbed, will not bring about a significant improvement; it will simply result in some accumulation.

To try to break free from constraints and reach a higher level is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Because each breakthrough requires a massive amount of spiritual energy, and the demand increases as you progress.

Spiritual objects contain spiritual energy, which is extremely rare. Even so, they are still hard to come by and will eventually be completely exhausted.

What's even more despairing is that this day is drawing ever closer...

What's the point of simply increasing attack power?

You must know that they were already rare innate masters before they received the inheritance. If they weren't so powerful that they could not have aroused the fear of the two great empires of Tang and Han.

Furthermore, as they grow older, their strength also increases, so absorbing spiritual energy only increases their strength, which is the most useless thing for them.

After martial arts skills reach the Innate Realm, the body's various functions will be greatly improved.

If one is fortunate enough to reach the Grandmaster Great Perfection realm, the lifespan of a martial artist who can reverse acquired and innate abilities will be greatly extended. This is why Grandmaster Great Perfection realm experts often live to be eight or nine hundred years old.

The seven of them had already glimpsed the path to the Great Perfection, but because of that inexplicable inheritance, everything changed.

If we do nothing now, the spiritual energy within our bodies will suddenly become uncontrollable one day and then self-destruct.

The fifth brother and the others were like that; before they even understood what the inheritance within their bodies was all about, they were already unable to hold on.

Cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven. The moment one embarks on the path of cultivation, one has already offended the Heavenly Dao, and therefore every step of cultivation is filled with hardship.

Because the will of Heaven is to exterminate all cultivators, so that no one can affect its position.

However, the Great Dao gives cultivators a glimmer of hope, and that glimmer of hope is to constantly become stronger and stronger!

Only by constantly becoming stronger can one break through the barriers and constraints, ultimately undergo a complete transformation, transcend tribulations, and ascend to an even higher realm!

Therefore, they must constantly become stronger in order to avoid being "eliminated" by the Heavenly Dao as much as possible.

Now Wu Ren is in the same situation as his brothers before him, and it would be a lie to say that people are panicking.

But looking at the woman in his arms, her face streaked with tears, he couldn't bring himself to say those words.

Suddenly, Kuang Zheng felt a faint suction force coming from his arm, like a gentle breeze on his face. At first, he thought it was his imagination.

But when he tried to feel it with his heart, he found that the attraction was real, just like a magnet.

Kuang Zheng was astonished and quickly turned his head to look, only to see that Ying Yue was holding the statue in her hand.

"...You'll have that feeling, don't you really feel it?" Kuang Zheng asked with a face full of curiosity.

"I checked three times, and there was nothing!" Ying Yue replied with a puzzled look.

"That's really strange, let me try again!" Kuang Zheng carefully tried to comprehend it once more, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the suction force was like a gentle stream, real and continuous.

"I've got a plan! Wu Ren might be saved. Time is of the essence, I'll explain later. Protect me, and make sure no one disturbs me," Kuang Zheng said, overjoyed.

Immediately afterwards, he carefully held the statue as if it were a precious pearl, and slowly transferred the spiritual energy in his body to it.

The statue, like a greedy child, instantly devoured all the spiritual energy, while simultaneously emitting a trace of incredibly pure spiritual energy.
