The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

Finally, a month later, Long Xuan looked at a book titled "Force Neutralization Art" on the table and smiled proudly.

This "Force Neutralization Art" was a physical technique from the Long family, one of their strongest secret techniques.

Elder Long had unintentionally left this book on the table, and it was stolen and learned by wood clone, who was guarding Elder Long's herb garden.

Oh! How could he be so careless? Truly too careless, haha...

Long Xuan let out a proud, sinister laugh.

This "Force Neutralization Art" was very powerful, and its theories could be applied to his self-created technique, which was of immense help to him.

As the name implies, the "Force Neutralization Art" is naturally about neutralizing force. His technique of ascending by stepping on his own foot could only be achieved by neutralizing the force. Just when he was looking for a way to neutralize force, it came to him as if someone handed him a pillow when he was dozing off.

Long Xuan quickly picked up the "Force Neutralization Art," gave it a heavy kiss, and eagerly started reading, becoming utterly engrossed.

The "Force Neutralization Art" is a defensive physical technique that neutralizes the force of an opponent's attack on oneself.

When practiced to a minor accomplishment, it can neutralize thirty percent of the force; when mastered, it can neutralize one hundred percent of the force.

What does neutralizing one hundred percent of the force mean? It means you would be immune to all physical attacks, no matter how powerful the opponent is—they couldn't harm you at all.

That's truly astonishing and extraordinary!

The Long Clan, known for their powerful bodies, truly deserved their reputation. They even managed to develop such an overpowered technique. Amazing!

The fact that Elder Long dared to casually leave such a powerful technique lying around was truly careless.

Long Xuan laughed with joy in his heart.

Although this is a defensive technique and not a body movement technique, different types of techniques can still be referenced and learned from each other.

However, the "Force Neutralization Art" neutralizes external force from attacks, not the mutual force you create yourself. Simply copying it wouldn't work; it needed significant modifications.

But for Long Xuan, the hardest part was the beginning. The beginning is always the hardest. As long as he knew how to start, the rest would be easier.

Just give him a hint, and he could figure out the complete technique.

With this inspiration, Long Xuan's writing flowed like a spring, and he quickly filled the paper with lines of text.

As time passed, the lines of text increased, and the paper was soon filled. He changed to a new sheet and continued writing...

A year later, Long Xuan bound the scattered sheets into a book, an unnamed new book, and placed it on his stone table.

Looking at this unnamed new book, Long Xuan's breathing quickened, and he was extremely excited.

At this moment, he felt truly accomplished, thinking he was extraordinary for creating such an amazing technique. He believed he was a great man in this world, and his achievements in body movement techniques were unprecedented and unparalleled, enough to be recorded in the history of this world.

How impressive was his self-created movement technique?

First, his technique could neutralize mutual force, allowing him to ascend infinitely by stepping on one foot with the other.

Moreover, the most crucial aspect of a body technique is speed. How fast could his speed be?

Long Xuan could neutralize his own weight, making himself as light as a feather. Could his speed not be fast?

He could also neutralize the resistance that hindered his speed, such as air friction. Could his speed not be fast?

Never underestimate the impact of air resistance on speed.

When you walk slowly, air resistance doesn't have much effect. But when your speed reaches its peak, you'll understand how terrifying air resistance can be.

The friction between a falling meteorite and the air can create flames. The friction between a rocket and the atmosphere can melt its metal shell.

And this is just the speed of a rocket. In this world, many beings are far faster than rockets.

Not to mention the massive air resistance at such speeds, the friction alone could incinerate you.

Moreover, this world's space is not only filled with air but also various attributes of spiritual energy, creating even more resistance.

Long Xuan's technique could not only ignore air friction but also transform the neutralized force into forward propulsion, further increasing his speed.

Under multiple layers of acceleration, how fast could he go?

Long Xuan didn't know and didn't dare to imagine.

He hadn't yet practiced body refinement techniques, and his insufficient strength would directly affect his speed.

So, how fast he could go in the future was beyond Long Xuan's estimation, but he always felt he might catch fire every time he thought about it.

He set five levels for his body technique.

The First Realm: Leaping on Eaves and Walking on Walls

The body becomes so light that one can swiftly dart around eaves and steep cliffs.

The Second Realm: Skimming Over Water

The body becomes light enough to walk on water, like a dragonfly skimming the surface.

The Third Realm: Flying Over Grass

The body becomes light enough to sprint across the tips of grass without bending a single blade.

The Fourth Realm: Leaving No Trace on Snow

The body becomes light enough to run on snow without leaving a single trace.

The Fifth Realm: Lifting Heavy as Light

One can lift a large, water-filled jar and run on the surface of water with it.

This is the true essence of lightness skills. It not only makes oneself light but also lighter than external objects, and one can withstand tremendous pressure with ease.

When one's body movement reaches this level, it signifies that it has reached perfection. In the world of Gu, a formidable figure who can run on a lake while carrying a large jar will emerge.

Reaching the Fifth Realm is extremely difficult, and very few in the world can achieve it.

The body movement technique created by Long Xuan is incredibly challenging, with stringent requirements for comprehension. Not everyone can master it.

Thus, a new body technique concept for lightness skills was successfully created by Long Xuan.

The lightness skills seen in martial arts will shine brightly in this world, stirring up storms and astonishing countless people.

Now that the body technique is complete, it is time to give it a grand and impressive name.

Long Xuan frowned and pondered for a moment. "How about calling it 'Ascend to Heaven'? Somehow this name feels strange, like something is off."

After thinking it over, Long Xuan decided to name it 'Treading the Stars'. The name is grand enough, as it implies treading on the stars themselves.

He wrote the two characters 'Treading the Stars' on the blank cover of a book, and finally wrote below it: ◎ Authored by Long Xuan.

Thus, another world-renowned masterpiece by Long Xuan was completed.

He lightly blew on the ink, satisfied, and placed it into a small box.

Next, he needed to urge his clones to seize the time for cultivation. He would supervise them.

With five clones training simultaneously, returning the results of their training, he could enjoy five times the speed of cultivation. He believed it wouldn't be long before he could master 'Treading the Stars'.

By then, he would possess top-notch speed, and speed would no longer be his weakness but his strength.

No one in the same realm would be able to match his speed. He had confidence in the body technique he created.

'Treading the Stars' could undoubtedly rank among the top body movements techniques of the current age, with few that could compare.

In other places, he couldn't say for sure, but in the Far West, his 'Treading the Stars' would deserve the title of the number one body movement technique.

Once 'Treading the Stars' reached perfection, his personal safety would greatly improve. He could attack or retreat at will, and no one in the same realm could hope to catch up with him.

Without realizing it, a year had passed. Long Xuan couldn't help but marvel at how quickly time flew by. He didn't expect that creating his own body technique would take so long, but it also showed the complexity of 'Treading the Stars'.

Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't checked the progress of refining the Dragon Gu for a long time. Alarmed, he rushed to the large cauldron.

He had been so absorbed in studying 'Treading the Stars' that he lost track of time and forgot about the Dragon Gu. He wondered if his clone had been keeping an eye on it.

It seemed the Dragon Gu was not simple either. The refining process was genuinely long, and now it had already been a year.

When he reached the cauldron, he saw that the progress bar above it showed 100%. This meant the Dragon Gu was complete.

He was overjoyed. It seemed he arrived just in time, not too late.

The Dragon Gu must have been completed not long ago; otherwise, it would have already escaped from the cauldron.

He was thrilled. With a swift motion, he lifted the cauldron lid, and a small green dragon appeared before his eyes.

The little dragon was curled up in the center of the cauldron, sound asleep, looking rather adorable.

The Dragon Gu didn't just resemble a dragon; it looked exactly like the Azure Dragon from his previous life, entirely green.

It had antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like an ox.

Every part resembled a different animal, a living Eastern Dragon.

The only difference was its size.

The Azure Dragon was immensely large, but the one in the cauldron was a miniature version, shrunk countless times.

After all, it was an insect, and insects are small. Its size was understandable.

Looking at the small creature no thicker than an arm, he pondered.

"Can this be ridden? It was supposed to be a majestic mount, but it's so tiny. Can it be ridden? Will I end up riding it, or it riding me?" Long Xuan fell into deep thought.

"Do I have to raise another sleeping ancestor? It seems to sleep as much as Little White, except it has four more legs."

With a nervous heart, Long Xuan bit his finger and dripped his blood onto its forehead while it slept, establishing a blood contract. Instantly, he knew its abilities.

His eyes grew brighter.

He couldn't deny it. Each Gu insect he created was exceptional. He had refined another peak-grade Gu insect with a special domain.

This domain was no ordinary one; it was called the Teleportation Domain.

From the name alone, it was clear that within the domain, it could instantly appear at any position.

The key word was teleportation. Teleportation has no speed; it simply appears directly, making it impossible to guard against.

Aside from the Dragon Gu's basic abilities and physical strength, this teleportation ability alone was enough to rank it among the top-tier Gu insects.

In martial arts, speed is invincible. If one's speed reaches the extreme, one becomes the best.

Nothing could be faster than teleportation. It didn't need any other abilities; with this alone, it could become invincible.

If he had a Dragon Gu during the hunt in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, would that fragile Gu dare act recklessly in front of him? The Dragon Gu could instantly kill it.

The Dragon Gu's ability was a natural counter to those fragile peak-grade Gu insects.

Long Xuan was extremely satisfied with the teleportation ability, but soon he felt frustrated.

He had just created a body movement technique that was supposed to be the fastest in the world, and now a Gu insect faster than him appeared. Was this a deliberate blow?

But thinking about it, the Dragon Gu's teleportation range was only within its domain. The domain could move slowly but couldn't teleport with the Dragon Gu, so it couldn't match 'Treading the Stars' for long-distance travel. This thought comforted Long Xuan.

"Seeing you're all green, I'll name you 'Little Green.' I hope you'll grow big enough to be ridden someday."

Long Xuan was still fixated on the idea of having a mount. He wondered how large the Dragon Gu could grow. Could it reach the size of a real dragon?

He lifted the curled-up Dragon Gu from the cauldron, holding it in his arms, gently stroking its green scales and small dragon horns, unable to put it down.

Thus, Long Xuan's third peak-grade Gu insect was successfully created. Including the Little Strong Gu, he now had four Gu insects.

With three Peak-grade Gu insects in hand, plus the Little Strong Gu, Long Xuan was confident that he could fear no one of the same level in this region. Even the top talent of any major clan wouldn't pose a threat to him.

If he encountered a Gu cultivator far above his level, he could always use 'Treading the Stars' to escape.

The speed of 'Treading the Stars' was exaggeratedly fast, and since it allowed flying, even Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivators might not be able to catch him.

After this retreat, Long Xuan's strength had greatly increased. His combat power had undergone a tremendous transformation, multiplying several times.

Now he could finally leave the novice village and venture boldly outside, ready to explore and take risks.

With his current trump cards, there were few dangers that could put him in jeopardy.
