Chapter 70: Remarks on the Release
This book will be on the shelves tomorrow, the 1st!
Thank you all for your support, dear readers. Thank you so much. It’s like a dream for my first book to achieve such a great result.
Because the results were too good for me, I was very nervous the whole time I wrote them, afraid that something would go wrong and ruin them. The pressure was so great that I almost felt depressed.
Fortunately, it is finally going to be put on the shelves. Its survival depends on this wave. I earnestly request all readers to give a first order. This is really very important. It is not only a matter of arrangement for subsequent recommendations, but also related to the author's own mentality. If the mentality collapses, the quality will decline. I really beg you.
Then there is the issue of updates.
Even among authors who are famous for their slowness, I estimate that I can at least secure a place in the top three or even the first place among the 'slowest'. I usually write 500 words an hour, and occasionally I can write 800 words beyond my normal level. It's really hard to keep up.
But even so, I will try my best to update the book to the third or fourth place after it is put on the shelves (6,000 to 8,000 words), and add more chapters while ensuring the quality as much as possible.
I mentioned before that for every 100 monthly votes before the release, I would add one more chapter on top of the guaranteed update. When I said this, there were 758 votes, and now I see more than 2000 votes. You guys are really awesome...
Let's say 2100 votes, 2100-700=1400, so I currently owe 14 chapters... I'm starting to sweat.
I hope that when it goes on sale tomorrow, the 1st, everyone can vote for me with their monthly tickets, please, please!

Writing a book on Qidian is really a stressful thing. Here we have what can be said to be the most professional and discerning readers in the entire online literature industry. I have witnessed with my own eyes countless authors who came here to testify to their failure in obscurity, which is really frightening.
But many people told me that writing a book on Qidian is a lot like chasing a girl. If you treat her like a goddess, you will never be able to catch her. You must keep a normal mind and just write what you are good at. Don't try to cater to your 'imaginary tastes of Qidian readers', as that will only make you fail.
But when I really started writing, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid of facing the goddess, and I was timid, which resulted in what I wrote not being so ideal.
Especially when I wrote a plot that was off track, which caused fluctuations in the reading, I was really mentally broken...
Later, I could only comfort myself by force, writing each chapter as if it were the last one, and then not being afraid of poor performance. I should regard all readers as indescribable outer gods, and all thunder, lightning, rain and dew were gifts. I should accept the arrangement of fate with peace of mind. Anyway, no matter what the performance was, I had to keep writing.
At least I have managed to survive until now by relying on self-PUA...
Promise me that even if you want to support the book, you’ll only support it after it gets the first order, okay
Thanks to the editor Canaan. Mr. Nan was harassed by me who was struggling with data every day. Every time he explained everything to me patiently and gave me a lot of insightful suggestions. There is no such wonderful editor in the world!
It's not a forced lick, it's really a good editor.
Thanks to Mr. Dan, the author of "The Last Priest", for recommending this book. This book is really good. I originally wanted to imitate Mr. Dan and write a book about a muscular man, but I went astray halfway and it doesn't have the original flavor at all.
Thanks to Mr. Xue, the author of "My Superpowers Refresh Weekly", for recommending the chapters. Sheng Xinyu is always a god.
Thanks to Qingquan, the author of "The King of Beast Tamers", for recommending the next chapter. "Unscientific Beast Tamers" is very good, but I don't know how this one will turn out. I'll try it when I have time.
Thanks to my operation officer Abai, he really helped me a lot. He played an indispensable role in the current success of Shushu. He was also the one who injected negative energy into me every day because I worried about my grades. Every time, he injected a lot of negative energy.
I'm a newbie and I haven't joined any Qidian groups. I don't have any connections. I rely on the editor to help me get PY...
Let’s not talk about things in life, I think no one wants to see people playing misery.
There is nothing much to say, I would like to wish all the readers eternal youth and immortality.
Please order first and give monthly ticket!!!
Rules for additional chapters with monthly tickets after listing: For every additional 500 monthly tickets, one more chapter will be added on top of the daily guaranteed update!
Chapter 71 Maybe I came at the wrong time? (Please subscribe first, and please give me a monthly ticket!!)
The key to 'breaking the limit'
Xue Jing's eyes moved.
Zhu Shanying helped him to ask: "Master, what does 'breaking the limit' mean?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "The human body has its limits. When we warriors train our bodies to perfection, we have reached our limits after completing the five major trainings of skin, flesh, tendons, bones and blood."
"At this point, there is no more room for improvement. This is the most fundamental limitation of the human body - the genetics. No matter how hard you try, you can only maintain your current strength. At this point, you can only 'break the limit'."
"Or to put it another way you are more familiar with - Leaping over the Dragon Gate."
Xue Jing sat up straight and listened carefully.
"The fish leapt over the dragon gate and was struck by lightning, burning off its mortal tail. In the West, this is called 'breaking the limit', which means breaking through the limits of the human body. In fact, it has little to do with martial arts itself, but is a sublimation of the level of life."
"What is life sublimation? Breaking the limits of one's own genes and reshaping the most basic components of one's own body. Although it is still in human form, its life essence is no longer human!"
"In the old days, people who completed this level of life sublimation were called 'eternal immortals' by Taoists and 'instant Buddhas' by Buddhists. Such beings, unless there are any accidents, can live at least 150 years old, and are limited only by their lifespan. They will not suffer from aging, and can maintain their physical peak condition until the moment of death."
Li Qi said softly.
No pain of aging... Xue Jing glanced at Li Qi's old appearance.
I guess this is an 'accident'.
"To achieve sublimation through breaking limits, it is useless to rely on the body itself. One must use abstract spiritual forces such as 'consciousness' and 'spirit' to forcibly interfere with one's own body and force it to change."
Zhu Shanying's eyes widened: "Huh?"
"This is a little unscientific, Master."
Li Qi glanced at her and said, "There's nothing unscientific about this. In fact, the reason is very simple. Let me ask you, what do you think is the relationship between our human consciousness and the body?"
Takeyama thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Consciousness... is it a logical network composed of neurons in the brain?"
She tried her best to recall what she had learned.
Li Qi gave a different answer. He shook his head and said, "You are wrong. The so-called 'consciousness', 'spirit' and 'self' are independent of the human body. The brain is just an organ of the human body, not 'you'."
“If the human body is likened to a computer, then the brain is its most important component—the CPU, and the real ‘you’, the real ‘consciousness’, is the person who uses the computer, not the computer itself.”
"It's just that in the material world, consciousness needs a carrier, just like you can't turn on a computer without a CPU. Your consciousness needs the brain as a carrier to manifest in the material world."
Li Qi didn't look like an old antique teaching martial arts at all. Instead, he looked like a highly knowledgeable professor and began to explain the principles to the students.
This contrast made Xue Jing feel quite strange - is this the scientific martial arts training of the new era...
Li Qi naturally didn't know what Xue Jing was thinking, so he just continued, "In fact, humans have very little control over their own bodies."
"Let me give you a simple example - you can't kill yourself by holding your breath. Even if you have undergone a certain degree of training to overcome your instincts, if you really hold your breath to the limit, your brain will directly interrupt your consciousness, causing you to faint, and then let your instincts take over and continue breathing." (Readers should never try this operation.)
"From this we can see that the 'I' is not the body itself, the 'I' is just the user of the body. That is why Buddhism says that the human world is a sea of suffering and the body is the boat to cross the sea of suffering. Because the body is the 'boat' that the 'I' rides on, not the real 'I' itself, it is just something that belongs to 'I'."
"The next point is what I am going to say. If 'I' - that is, consciousness itself, is strong enough, I can use this abstract mental power to forcibly take over the body itself."
"In this way, we no longer control the body through the inefficient method of sending commands to the body through the brain and nerves. Instead, we directly cover the whole body with consciousness and directly control the body with consciousness itself."
Li Qi stretched out a dry palm and clenched it in the air.
"Use consciousness to forcibly interfere with the body, order the genes to change, eliminate all weak and useless genes, and further strengthen the already powerful genes, so as to sublimate the level of one's own life!"
"Therefore, after the five major trainings are perfected, martial arts practice is no longer about tapping into the potential of the body, but about unlocking the secrets of the spiritual consciousness!"
"A strong mind will lead to a strong body! As long as you have a strong consciousness to match it, you can be as strong as you think you can be!"
"Of course, there are great crises and dangers in this process. If you want to jump over the dragon gate, you will be struck by lightning. In the process of burning off the mortal tail, if you are not careful, the result will be genetic collapse."
The two disciples Xue Jing and Zhu Shanying listened in fascination.
Why does this martial arts practice feel both scientific and unscientific, and yet it seems very scientific in its unscientific state
Li Qi looked at Xue Jing.
"And now, you have achieved a crucial step - allowing consciousness to enter the physical body."
Xue Jing subconsciously looked at his arms, practiced his breathing techniques, and gathered his strength.
He could clearly feel that this force seemed to be alive, flowing freely in his body like a river.
“Although you are still a long way from truly breaking through the limit, you have already taken the most crucial step. The rest is just a matter of time and effort.”
Li Qi patted his shoulder and said with relief.
"Master, I heard from my senior brother that you were once a strong man who jumped over the Dragon Gate, so why are you getting old?" Zhu Shanying asked puzzledly.
Li Qi smiled and said lightly: "The 'dragon' I raised was killed by someone. Its consciousness can no longer penetrate into its body. Naturally, it can no longer maintain the state of 'breaking the limit' and cannot regulate its body from time to time. Aging is inevitable."
Zhushan Ying nodded, not quite understanding.
…
By the time Xue Jing returned to his community, it was already past midnight.
He touched the wounds on his body and felt that they were healing at an absurdly fast speed. A thin membrane of flesh had already grown over the torn skin.
In this case, it will probably heal in two or three days.
He said hello to the security guard, entered the community, and returned home.
When I opened the door, I didn't see the cat coming to greet me.
He closed the door, looked around the house, and asked in confusion:
"Not here again?"
The cat has been too mysterious lately. It disappears from time to time and I don’t know what it is doing.
After thinking for a while, Xue Jing scanned the entire house, imprinting everything inside the house firmly in his eyes, and then closed his eyes.
[Visualization]
This skill, which can enhance the intensity of his consciousness, gives him extremely terrifying thought control ability and imagination.
Especially after reaching Lv4 tonight.
He visualized every trace of the house in his mind, down to every detail.
Cat hair on the couch, slightly worn soft plastic buttons on the TV remote, light scratches on the legs of a chair…
All the traces were deduced by his imagination.
In the house that Xue Jing imagined in his mind, a black cat with white gloves appeared.
It started to move around the house, stretching, watching TV, grabbing chairs, rummaging through the refrigerator, playing on the computer, and dancing on the bed...
All the black cat's actions correspond to any subtle traces in the house.
Finally, the black cat, who was playing with his tail boredly on the sofa, seemed to hear something suddenly and turned around to look outside the balcony.
Soon, it stood up, walked to the balcony door with elegant cat steps, pushed the glass sliding door open with its paws, and walked out.
In reality, Xue Jing also closed his eyes, followed the black cat in his mind, and walked out of the balcony.
The black cat jumped onto the balcony railing—Xue Jing opened his eyes.
The extreme vision brought by aiming allowed him to patrol the railing for a while and found two barely detectable cat paw prints on the black paint layer.
Then, based on the appearance of the footprints, visualize the cat's jumping posture, direction, and arc.
He leaned his upper body over the railing and looked directly below the balcony in a posture that was extremely dangerous for an ordinary person.
You can barely see that there is an air conditioner outdoor unit hanging there.
The fuselage, which had not been cleaned for a long time, was covered with dust and dirt, and had many cat paw prints on it.
Xue Jing thought about it, grabbed the railing with both hands, turned over and jumped, and with the agility of a monkey, he swung himself lightly to the air conditioner outdoor unit and stood there, making almost no sound.
Then continue to visualize the cat’s movements…
…
In a dark alley not far from Xue Jing's residential area.
Ning Fengwan squatted on a broken brick wall, looking at the two people in front of her, one big and one small, both wearing black windbreakers, black sunglasses and masks, wrapping themselves tightly, and sighed in a very humane way.
"I've already told you, try not to come to me recently."
"And you two, are you afraid that others won't think you're suspicious? What's with the attire?"
Ning Fengwan complained.
The thinner of the two raised her hand weakly and said in a small girlish voice: "I have objected to wearing this, as it makes me look like a stalker, but Priest..."
The tall figure glanced at her, and immediately made her silent.
Ning Fengwan turned her head and looked at the tall man, frowning and said:
"Mr. An, didn't you run away to the Inner Ring City? Why are you coming back now?"
