My head feels itchy, like a head is growing out of it.
How to do?
"The fact that the Heavenly King didn't take action is the best proof already," Shi Zhu answered all the commanders' questions.
He Xi's lack of action means she won't interfere in Earth's affairs.
After all, the three Taotie warrior teams were causing destruction in various regions of China. If He Xi wanted to take action, she would have done so long ago.
But no action was taken, which revealed He Xi's stance.
All the commanders suddenly realized that the plan from the very beginning was a blatant scheme by the King against Tianji King Hexi. How brilliant!
Your Majesty truly possesses a brilliant plan, skillful methods, and a cunning mind!
"As expected of Your Majesty." Hu Ao offered a small, flattering compliment.
Some commanders glanced at Hu Ao and thought, "I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually know how to flatter the king. You really will do anything to advance your career!"
Shi Zhu slowly stood up, glanced at all the commanders, and said, "Don't underestimate Tianji Wang He Xi. Her wisdom far surpasses ours."
"She must have realized that this was a clever scheme, but she didn't take action, which suggests that she doesn't like to interfere in Earth's affairs."
"Should we continue with our original plan?" Hu Ao asked hesitantly.
The original plan, of course, referred to sending a vanguard force to Earth to probe the military strength of various countries, in order to facilitate subsequent invasion plans.
"How long is the advance fleet expected to take to arrive on Earth?" Shizhu asked.
"The advance team, led by Feng Lei and Xiong Lu, is expected to arrive in Earth's skies in about six months, about two months ahead of schedule," Hu Ao replied.
"Well, it doesn't matter if it's done in advance. As long as Tianji King He Xi doesn't interfere in Earth's affairs, the Super Soldier Corps alone is not enough to stop our race's advance," Shi Xiong said.
"For my god Karl! For my race!" all the Taotie commanders shouted in unison.
"Alright, that concludes the meeting. Everyone, please go back and continue refining your plans."
……
Earth.
Northern China.
A fierce wind swept through, snowflakes danced in the air, and the thick, gloomy weather felt like a boulder covering people's hearts, making them feel slightly depressed. A thick layer of snow piled up on the ground, creating a silvery, white landscape.
The year-end has passed, and the New Year is just around the corner.
Outside, snow was falling heavily, and the lights in every house were dim, but not a single person was in sight.
Whew! Whew!
In the midst of a dense blizzard, a figure walked step by step through the snow, gradually revealing his outline and form—a Taoist priest dressed in a thin robe.
The Taoist walked through the snow without being hindered in the slightest. The snow behind him left no footprints, as if he were a light, floating feather, leaving no trace.
If you look closely, you can even see that the fine snowflakes, before they even reached three inches from the Taoist priest, had already melted into snow water and merged into the snowdrifts on the ground.
Doesn't Li Dao feel cold in this weather? He does feel cold, but it's more of a test for his Daoist heart.
Comprehension only raises the upper limit; it's not a smooth journey. Without a steadfast and unwavering Dao heart, relying solely on comprehension is destined to be short-lived.
Over the course of nearly half a month, Li Dao trekked through mountains and rivers, experiencing both bustling metropolises and rural villages.
In the mountains, one can drink from mountain streams when thirsty and eat wild fruits and game when hungry, savoring the cool and wild life of the mountains.
When they entered the city and countryside, they ate at the homes of many when they were hungry, asked for water when they were thirsty, received charity from kind people, and also suffered cold treatment. All aspects of human nature remained in their hearts.
Along the way, I wore out several pairs of shoes and witnessed all kinds of beauty and ugliness, prosperity and poverty, wealth and hardship, all of which are the myriad aspects of human life.
Angel Ying followed far behind Li Dao, still clad in silver armor, her bright eyes fixed on his tall and imposing figure.
Unconsciously, recalling the other person's experiences over the past half month, it became clear that despite having great strength, they were not arrogant, and even lived a humble life as a beggar.
Angel Ying really couldn't understand the point of Li Dao doing this.
Was he pretending to be weak to deceive others? But after half a month, he still hadn't figured anything out.
Li Dao suddenly stopped, looking down at his shoes. He noticed that the soles of his shoes were worn through, and when his feet touched the cold, thick snow, he felt a chill.
But it soon disappeared again.
The chill was dispelled by the surging and powerful qi and blood. Li Dao was no longer afraid of the severe cold because he relied on this abundant qi and blood.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a person with a pure Yang constitution.
"Since my shoes are worn out, I might as well not wear them anymore. With my strong constitution, the cold is nothing to me now." Li Dao took off his shoes and stepped barefoot into the snow.
My feet didn't feel cold, and I didn't experience any discomfort.
Li Dao adapted quickly and continued walking.
Without direction or purpose, everything is done according to one's heart.
Gradually, Li Dao began to grasp the outlines of the essence of boxing, vague yet clearly perceptible.
"The essence of boxing comes from the extension of essence, energy and spirit. Now my essence and energy are abundant and strong, and my five internal organs are nourished by a trace of Qi."
"Although my spirit is vigorous, it is only because of the improvement of my vital energy, and it has not reached a balance."
"Now I am refining my Dao heart, which is to refine my spirit, purify my chaotic spirit, and thus achieve a certain subtle balance of essence, energy and spirit."
Li Dao's eyes were calm yet bright. Even amidst the blizzard, his surging spirit remained undiminished, and his demeanor underwent a slight change.
Even Angel Ying, who was following far away, could clearly perceive this change.
"Her physical condition hasn't changed, but the frequency of her mental fluctuations has increased, and her mental growth is significant. Let's record this first and then send the data to her after the Tianji King finishes his research."
Angel Ying opened her Eye of Insight and secretly recorded and saved the changes in Li Dao's body.
Li Dao was unaware of this, his mind was immersed in the boxing technique, trying to grasp the rudiments of the boxing intent.
Chapter 50 Lights!
The new year has arrived.
Li Dao walked barefoot on the snow. The surroundings were a vast expanse of white. The slightly warm sunlight shone down, reflecting a layer of brilliance onto the snow. The trees in front of him were covered with snow piled up after a heavy snowfall, adding a layer of white to their crowns.
Thick snow piled up, and ice crystals hung upside down.
Li Dao continued walking forward. Although he didn't know where he was, it didn't stop him from continuing on. The path of exploring the essence of boxing was just that tedious.
"What a little madman." Angel Ying crossed her arms and hovered in mid-air, looking down at the figure in front of her.
After observing for several days, she discovered that Li Dao's mental fluctuations were very frequent, as if he had taken stimulants, and they were constantly increasing.
However, the frequency of my mental fluctuations hasn't increased today.
Angel Ying recorded all these observations in the dark database and then uploaded them to the massive computing database of Tianji-1.
Once Tianji Wang finishes his research, he will be able to see Li Dao's real-time data.
Li Daoneng could sense Angel Ying's presence, but he did not intend to expose her.
There was no need to expose him; the other party was an angel sent by He Xi to observe and protect him, and his vague sixth sense told him that the other party was very powerful.
Of all the angels I've ever seen, only Angel Yan and Angel Zhui can compare.
Angel Yan is a third-generation super soldier, and Angel Zhui is the same, even possessing an "immortal" invincible body.
Therefore, Li Dao estimated that Angel Ying possessed the strength of a third-generation super soldier or a third-generation divine body.
And so, the two tacitly agreed not to disturb each other.
night.
A cold wind howled, and fine snow began to fall.
But Li Dao did not stop and went straight through the forest. On the way, he encountered a wolf with green eyes that actually wanted to eat him.
So Li Dao killed the wolf and left its body in the wilderness. He encountered many wild animals afterward, but none of them were interested in his meat.
It wasn't hibernation; it was just a feeling that Li Dao was in extreme danger.
After passing through the forest, a thousand-meter-high mountain appeared ahead. Li Dao continued forward, his feet sinking into the snow, and began his ascent.
The cold wind is like a knife, scraping and cutting flesh.
The jade hairpin had just been loosened and fallen by the cold wind when Li Dao caught it instantly with his large hand and put it into his sleeve. His black hair, like a waterfall, danced wildly in the wind as he continued walking without stopping.
Soon, Li Dao reached the mountaintop. His bright yet calm eyes gazed ahead, where a large city stood, its dazzling fireworks a fleeting spectacle.
The sounds of fireworks rose and fell continuously, and every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Amidst the sounds, one can faintly hear the laughter of children, the cheers of young people, and the sighs of the elderly, creating a picture of countless lights shining in every home.
hum!
Li Dao instantly understood. His eyes shone like the morning stars in the night sky, bright and radiant. His thoughts flowed like a dam bursting, and his knowledge surged like a torrent, flowing through his heart and filling his mind with clarity.
He knew that he had grasped the basics of the essence of boxing.
Angel Ying hovered not far away, silently watching Li Dao. When she saw him suddenly stop and stand there in a daze, she curiously opened her Eye of Insight to see what was going on.
The next second, astonishment appeared on Angel Ying's calm face, and she whispered with a slight tremor in her voice, "What did he do? Why are all his stats skyrocketing?"
Indeed, Angel Ying, through her Eye of Insight, saw that six of Li Dao's physical indicators were surging, including cell activity, bone density, muscle resilience, and the frequency of his mental fluctuations.
Even though I have lived for 30,000 years, I have never seen anything so bizarre; it is beyond my comprehension.
This man is full of secrets; no wonder the Heavenly King observed him and tried to study him.
Swish!
Before Angel Ying could recover, Li Dao's unfocused eyes refocused, and then his body moved slightly, his skin, bones, and internal organs all trembling at the same time.
The new six-character mantra, with the combined roar of tigers and leopards, resonated with thunderous force, mingling with the explosions of fireworks across the sky, each sound vibrating through Li Dao's very bones.
The bone marrow, which had been mostly tempered, gradually developed a jade-like luster during the violent tremors, shimmering with a crystal-clear light, like flowing water.
"Refine your marrow like jade!!" Li Dao roared, and impurities and foul blood seeped from his pores, covering his body and forming a thick layer of scabs, like a blood-covered figure, foul-smelling and hideous!
Only her bright eyes were visible.
When Angel Ying came to her senses, she witnessed the whole process and took the opportunity to record it.
Tianji Wang should be able to use it.
