Martial Arts Crossover: That night, Huang Rong descended from the sky.

Chapter 233: Kou Zhong: You call this the Longevity Formula?

"So you are Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling!" Chu Liuxiang looked at the two and smiled. "I heard your names back in the Time Fragments."

Upon hearing that Chu Liuxiang had also been to the Fragments of Time, the two became quite friendly, with Kou Zhong expressing some regret: "It's a pity I didn't get to see Brother Chu back then."

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "It was truly a pity that I ended up in Chang'an!"

"Did you know? There's a huge treasure trove beneath Chang'an..."

He recounted his experiences in Chang'an. After hearing this, Kou Zhong and the other man exchanged bewildered glances. "No way, that's Yang Gong's treasure?!"

The master thief actually found the entrance to Yang Gong's treasure by himself, and even found the real treasure vault inside!

Is it that amazing?

Kou Zhong sighed, "If only the Thief King were still in our world, I could have met you sooner and retrieved Yang Gong's treasure..."

The saying goes, "If you obtain one of the He Shi Bi or Yang Gong's treasures, you can rule the world. We have both, so ruling the world is not a sure thing."

Thinking of Yang Gong's treasure reminded Xu Ziling of his "mother," and he felt a pang of sadness. He immediately changed the subject: "Li Ping ran off so fast, what are you planning to do?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "Go and undergo the tribulation of lightning..."

Kou Zhong: "..."

Xu Ziling: "..."

Good heavens, could this guy really be a monster like Lady White Snake, and that's why he has to undergo tribulation?

Chu Liuxiang laughed loudly, "Just kidding, he said he was going to draw heavenly lightning to infuse his body and cultivate the Longevity Technique..."

Kou Zhong: "w(?Д?)w"

Xu Ziling: "(⊙﹏⊙)"

No, is this how you cultivate the Longevity Formula?

Do you really think we don't know the secrets of longevity?

At this moment, a voice rang out: "Li Ping said that in our world, almost all methods of destruction come from the War God's Record."

"Guang Chengzi studied the War God's Manual in the War God's Temple and created the Longevity Formula; this is an adaptation."

"Xie Tiao, the first evil emperor of the Demonic Sect, was inspired by the War God's Record and wrote the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique in the Record of Demonic Thoughts, which can be considered a second creation."

"Our founder of Jingzhai, Di Ni, read the Record of Demonic Thoughts and created the Cihang Sword Manual, which can be considered a second creation within a second creation..."

The two were taken aback, then bowed to the newcomer: "Greetings, Fairy Mengyao..."

Kou Zhong said, "Li Ping's speech is incoherent, but these words are easy to understand at a glance."

"But is he really trying to practice the Longevity Mantra?"

Qin Mengyao laughed and said, "I don't know, that's what he said anyway."

"He said that the War God's Manual originally contained the method of controlling the energy of heaven and earth, so the two of you were born with innate abilities from the very beginning of your cultivation, seizing the essence of heaven and earth."

"Lightning is also a type of energy from heaven and earth, so naturally it can be controlled..."

Kou Zhong's eyes widened, recalling Li Ping's lightning-wielding sword strike, and he was very tempted: "Really!? Young Master Ling, do you think we should also..."

Xu Ziling rolled his eyes at him: "If you're looking for death, I'm not going to play along. He has immortality powers and can do whatever he wants. If you were struck by lightning, would you survive?"

Remembering how Li Ping was struck by lightning last time, Kou Zhong felt a bit discouraged. I really don't dare to mess around like that.

Qin Mengyao smiled and said, "Li Ping's development of the immortality technique in this direction shows that he dares to break conventional thinking."

"I dare say that even without immortality, he would still become a grandmaster."

"Talent and comprehension are not as important as unrestrained and imaginative thinking."

Seeing a fairy like Qin Mengyao praising Li Ping so highly, the two of them felt a little jealous. "We're not so bad, are we..."

Soon, they reached the summit and saw that there were already quite a few people there, all of whom were Li Ping's friends.

They're all here, so who's in charge now...?

God knows!

Kou Zhong examined the various strange stones arranged on the mountaintop and hissed, "This feels... a little strange, doesn't it?"

Song Que said, "That was a feng shui formation set up by Huang Rong. It is said to be able to influence the field of lightning and also improve Li Ping's luck."

"It might affect lightning, but improving luck? I think that's far-fetched!"

Kou Zhong immediately bowed and said, "Kou Zhong greets Lord Song..."

Song Que gave him a cold look, snorted, and ignored him!

Kou Zhong knew he was in the wrong, because Li Ping had told him that Song Que had fully supported him and that they were now on par with Li Shimin, but he had given up. No wonder he was angry.

If I were Song Que, I'd at least give myself a good beating...

At this moment, Li Ping looked at these people with a helpless expression: "You guys, don't you have anything better to do?"

Lu Xiaofeng whistled: "After all, the kind of thing that involves deliberately seeking out lightning strikes is something you might only see once in a thousand years. What could be more important than that?"

Song Que was very honest: "I've never heard of cultivating by drawing heavenly lightning into one's body. I want to learn it and see if I can use it myself in the future..."

Lu Xiaofeng shuddered. "Aren't you guys afraid of dying for the sake of practicing martial arts?"

At this moment, the thunder in the sky grew even louder.

Everyone fell silent and then subconsciously took a few steps back.

But Li Ping remained completely unfazed, after all, he was already quite experienced in being struck by lightning.

He did this because the Longevity Formula and the Immortal Seal Technique gave him great inspiration.

The Longevity Formula and the Immortal Seal Technique have similarities.

The Immortal Seal Method states: "A single point of true yang arises in the Kan position, filling the gap in the Li palace; the Qian (Heaven) cycle rotates and the Kun (Earth) turns, Kan and Li ceaselessly; creation is silent, fire arises from water; it connects to the Heavenly Valley above and reaches the Yongquan (Breakfast Spring) below: the Heavenly Gate is always open, the Earthly Gate is always released."

This is very similar to when Kou Zhong and the other two cultivated the Longevity Technique and achieved the Innate Realm!

It is also said: "The acquired Qi belongs to Yin, and the innate Qi belongs to Yang. When Yin reaches its limit, Yang is born; when Yang reaches its limit, Yin is born. When the breath is in harmony, it circulates through the six directions, connecting with the Yin and Yang symbols externally, and generating the true and unified body internally..."

Simply put, as long as one can quickly dissipate the true energy within the body, one can reach the critical point of Yin giving rise to Yang, allowing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to surge into the body. This is what is known as turning death into life.

The situation of Kou Zhong and himself cultivating the Longevity Technique is very similar, except that the process has been accelerated a thousand times!

The faster your true energy dissipates, the faster the primordial energy of heaven and earth surges forth.

Therefore, Shi Zhixuan's Immortal Seal Technique will never run out of true energy.

Therefore, one should not resist lightning, nor try to control it, but rather empty oneself and accept it, like becoming a battery...

At that moment, lightning flashed, and the iron rod, dozens of meters tall, placed on the mountaintop, suddenly lit up. Even Li Ping seemed to be glowing, and he let out a scream...

Everyone's hearts tightened. So this is how this guy usually practices his skills?

If he's this crazy, then it's no wonder he's this strong!

Did he succeed?

Why does it smell a little good?

That's... ugh...

They all knew that it was the aroma of Li Ping's meat; he had been cooked by electric shock!

Failed, right?

Li Ping reversed time, and his heart was filled with joy!

It's feasible, it really is feasible...

I've found a solution; my approach was correct.

I just couldn't withstand it physically...

No, that's still not right!

Li Ping frowned deeply!

Even if I manage to withstand it, just like last time, I will have to release this lightning power immediately.

I can't do this every time I get into a fight, can I?

What a coincidence! Thunder every time, and you get struck by lightning every time.

Oh, right...
