"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
Now, without a body, not only is there no secretion of the mysterious substance, but his remaining brain has also been drained dry.
Even more terrifying is that his Dao fruit and origin were also mysteriously extracted.
The shattering of the divine body is a minor matter; once the five internal organs and the great stars are formed, they will remain forever. Even if the magical power is exhausted, it can still be restored because the Dao fruit is there, and the origin has not been damaged.
Now even the Dao Fruit and the Origin are disappearing, just like the wooden bucket itself is broken.
"Is it because you only have one head left and can't secrete the mysterious substance that you failed to break through?" Guanyin asked anxiously and helplessly.
"Failure is failure, it's not like I've never failed before." Li Changzhou didn't seem to care.
He experienced the feeling of losing vitality, of the Dao fruit and the origin disappearing.
The only pity is that this was not a true death experience; he knew he was in the Mountain and River Map and knew he could be resurrected.
Guanyin was both amused and exasperated, but her heart was filled with admiration and even a little respect.
She suddenly understood why she always said she could take Yang Qinglan as her disciple, but never said she could take Li Changzhou as her disciple.
Although Yang Qinglan was exceptionally talented, even to the point that Guanyin herself envied her, everything Yang Qinglan did was within Guanyin's expectations.
Li Changzhou is not.
Some of his actions were, in Guanyin's eyes, simply insane, completely beyond her comprehension and imagination.
In modern terms, we can't keep up with his way of thinking.
From the very beginning, she instinctively realized that she couldn't teach him; she could only be a guide at a certain stage.
How did you come up with the idea of letting the Kalanchoe pinnatifida plant absorb the vast world of sand?
How could someone who has lost all their power still risk their life to actively learn the abilities of anime characters?
How could they have thought of using the resurrection mechanism of the Mountain and River Map to actively wage war against the gods and seek a breakthrough?
How could he remain steadfast in his mindset after so many failed attempts to break through, and even seize the opportunity to experience the feeling of losing the original source of the Dao fruit?
But Guanyin knew that behind Li Changzhou's seemingly crazy and reckless behavior was enough confidence, and he was not really risking his life.
Just like when he put his hand on the fire to learn the Flame Wave, it was because he had healing abilities and could recover from injuries by eating.
Guanyin did not think that Li Changzhou dared to risk his life and lose his composure because he had a trump card. On the contrary, she thought that this was a sign of courage and strategy.
Those who disregard their own lives and gamble repeatedly will ultimately die from their own recklessness.
This isn't a gamble; it's a long, arduous journey that requires day and night, and no one can rely on luck forever.
The value game allows for luck, but it never allows for a winner, because of luck.
Earth Immortal, Human Immortal, Fifth Level of Visualization Technique...
Like petals of a blooming flower peeling away one by one.
When the flower petals fall, Li Changzhou gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to examine each petal, looking at its color and touching its texture.
Stare at it and see where it first peels off, and where the most vulnerable point is.
This requires even more care than starting from scratch.
When a person starts over, they are always familiar with the process and almost instinctively follow what they believe to be the "optimal solution".
The withering and decay of the Great Dao Flower had nothing to do with Li Changzhou's will and experience. Wherever it was weakest, that became the breakthrough point, and it withered first.
Guanyin, who shared Li Changzhou's feelings, gradually became immersed in the situation as well.
The two watched as the flower of the Great Way withered, until even its roots began to rot.
When even the roots disappear, that is when you become mortal, and that is when you die.
Although Guanyin lost her path to enlightenment and did not experience it as carefully as Li Changzhou, she still knew what happened at each stage.
Outside, Cheng Huang, along with Li Qianxia, ambushed once again around a group of people engaged in a fierce battle, preparing to seize the immortal position.
"Big sister, big brother seems to have gone bad. Aren't you going to throw him away?" Cheng Huang glanced at Li Changzhou's head.
Even without the Dao Fruit, Li Changzhou's corpse would not stink, since his head was part of the Divine Body. The loss of the Dao Fruit did not diminish the sacredness of the head itself.
But the situation is not good.
Skin and bones, like a flagpole wrapped in a banner, the long black hair still there, but it made the head look even more sinister and terrifying.
“Brother…” Li Qianxia felt a growing sense of worry.
The previous three physical enhancements were all bursts of vitality. According to her plan, Li Changzhou's injuries should be restored in an instant, and he should be able to transform into a ten-thousand-foot-tall body and go back to fight.
Even if she didn't recover immediately, she just assumed that her injury was too severe and needed some time.
But now, not only are there no signs of recovery from his injuries, but even his last glimmer of hope seems to be fading away.
The only thing that kept her from losing her composure was the resurrection rule of the Mountain and River Map; even if Li Changzhou died, he could reappear safely in the Heaven-Mending Hall.
Snap!
Li Qianxia quickly reached out and caught the left eye that rolled out of Li Changzhou's eye socket.
His left eye was perfectly round, without a trace of blood or flesh, like a divine pearl.
Li Qianxia stared blankly at the eyeball in her hand.
Cheng Huang narrowed his eyes.
With a whoosh, she rushed into the midst of the battle and snatched the Immortal Throne Pearl.
This is not the best time to seize the pearl, but the best time to get rid of the witch. Chenghuang's back is exposed to everyone.
Who is it?
"Don't let her get away!"
As everyone attacked together, Li Qianxia suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously activated her inner energy.
boom!
The eyeball in her hand released a powerful divine might, as if a divine object had been revived, igniting a fiery crimson aura.
