From Mortal Body to Immortality

Lu Sheng's expression was calm as he gazed at the Yellow Sand Beast not far away. He took a step forward, and surging qi and blood surged out like a tide, instantly transforming into a fist mark that slammed heavily into the Yellow Sand Beast.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the Yellow Sand Beast instantly transformed into streams of black energy, dissipating into the world.

The warden on the side smiled slightly upon seeing this: "Not bad, you must have joined the academy for a few years now. Work hard, I'll be leaving first!"

After speaking, the warden patted Lu Sheng's shoulder, mentioned some details to pay attention to, handed the token to Lu Sheng, and then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the desolate desert.

This book is first published on 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞 on the entire network.

Lu Sheng watched the figure of the other party leaving, but smiled slightly, turned around and closed the gate of the resource point, returning to the shelter.

Although C刹 Star is a dead planet, the shelter has a fourth-order top-grade spiritual energy formation, which makes the spiritual energy content in the shelter even richer than Lu Sheng's residence on Five Spirits Star.

"Resource escorts come once every two months, and the surrounding Yellow Sand Beasts are cleared once a month, so it's quite leisurely."

"Although I am the only one living on this planet, it allows me to calm down and cultivate."

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the shelter, smiled slightly, and slowly closed his eyes, preparing to start practicing.

Time also passed quickly during Lu Sheng's cultivation.

A month later, in the desolate desert, Lu Sheng stood in the yellow sand, surrounded by strange-shaped Yellow Sand Beasts, staring at Lu Sheng with fierce eyes.

From time to time, they looked towards the gate of the resource point, their eyes revealing a trace of greed! Roar! Roar! Roar!

A series of angry roars rang out, and the Yellow Sand Beasts instantly transformed into afterimages, fiercely attacking Lu Sheng.

However, facing the encirclement of the surrounding Yellow Sand Beasts, Lu Sheng's expression was calm.

With a step, Lu Sheng's surging qi and blood erupted again, and the Five Elements Diagram crazily rotated behind Lu Sheng.

Great Five Elements Fist!

Bang!

Accompanied by the explosion of a muffled sound, the Yellow Sand Beasts surrounding Lu Sheng instantly turned into a stream of dead energy, dissipating into the world.

"Done, continue cultivating!"

Lu Sheng stood still with an unchanged expression, uttered a sentence softly, and then turned around and walked towards the shelter.

In the sky above the desolate Gu Cha Star, a white streak of light appeared, followed by a third-order escort ship docking above the shelter.

Sensing the movement, Lu Sheng stopped cultivating, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the escort spaceship in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a voice rang out from the escort spaceship.

"Laboratory No. 3 of the Life School is here today to escort Deathly Silent Crystals. This is our procedure certificate!"

As the voice fell, a document was also transmitted to Lu Sheng's communication bracelet.

After Lu Sheng confirmed that it was correct, he walked out of the shelter, signaled the escort spaceship to follow, and came to the gate of the resource point, opening the gate with the warden's token.

Only then could he see several figures walking out of the spaceship, one of whom was a late-stage fourth-order cultivator, and the rest were basically peak third-order or early-stage fourth-order martial artists.

Presumably, they were students from the Life School who had taken on the basic escort mission.

The few people cupped their fists at Lu Sheng, and then started working.

After taking out a portion of the Deathly Silent Crystals and putting them into the escort spaceship, these people escorting the resources left directly.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, returned to the shelter, and stretched his waist.

"This kind of task is especially suitable for me. Compared to the war missions on the front lines, the guarding task is relatively safer. Although the credits are less than those high-risk tasks, it's still not bad."

"Most importantly—it saves time."

"Apart from waiting for the personnel to receive resources, even clearing the Yellow Sand Beasts can allow me to verify the progress of my martial arts. What's more, I spend the rest of the time cultivating in the shelter, which is equivalent to earning credits while cultivating. Not bad!"

Lu Sheng smiled, looking outside the shelter, where the yellow sand swirled with strands of deathly silence.

It wanted to break through the barrier of the shelter, but it was isolated outside by a layer of faint light.

"Although the Deathly Silent Qi can affect fourth-order martial artists, I don't go out much, so naturally I don't need to worry about this."

"And I just need to cultivate in peace. In these two months, the progress of the Wither-Bloom Technique has been very fast. I may not be able to comprehend the Domain of Intent!"

In Lu Sheng's eyes, there was a faint glow flickering, and then he abandoned all thoughts, slowly closed his eyes, and a wisp of black energy surrounded Lu Sheng's body.

It was the unique characteristic of cultivating the Wither-Bloom Technique.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, several months had passed, and Lu Sheng had been guarding this Gu Cha Star for more than half a year.

On this day, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and a wisp of dark light flickered in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the corners of Lu Sheng's mouth outlined an arc.

"The progress of the Wither-Bloom Technique has reached fifty!"

After speaking, the system panel also appeared in front of Lu Sheng.

[Profession: Martial Artist]

[Realm: Golden Body (15/100)]

[Undying Art: (35/100) LV1]

[Wither-Bloom Art: (50/100) LV1]

[Sky-Stepping Steps: (80/100) LV1]

[Five Elements Small World: (70/100) LV1]

[Longevity Intent: (MAX)]

[Great Five Elements Fist: (MAX)]

[Five Elements Intent: (MAX)]

[Basic Mechanical Prosthetic Maintenance: (88/100) LV5]

[Basic Martial Arts Mastery: (1/100) LV8]

"The progress of the Wither-Bloom Technique is fifty, and it was achieved without using any cultivation resources or purchasing courses explained by the seniors. It has increased to fifty in half a year."

Lu Sheng smiled slightly.

The Wither-Bloom Technique itself is a technique of turning death into life. On this Gu Cha Star, the Deathly Silent Qi is strong and full of death, which has a certain accelerating effect on the early stage of the Wither-Bloom Technique.

Turning death into life, the first thing lies in the word "death."

The Wither-Bloom Technique is divided into five realms: Withered Silence, Withered Wood Meeting Spring, Initial Bloom of Glory, Cycle of Life and Death, and Unity of Wither and Bloom!

Now, Lu Sheng is in this Withered Silence realm. In this Gu Cha Star filled with Deathly Silent Qi, there is a multiplier effect on cultivation.

"The progress of the Wither-Bloom Technique has already far surpassed the Undying Art. Next, I can focus on cultivating the Wither-Bloom Technique!"

"However, the progress of cultivation... as it goes further, the time it takes to increase each point of progress will be longer."

"I don't know when I will be able to break through to the mid-stage of the fourth order!"

"The most important thing is that I haven't had any clues about the Domain of Intent in these six months."

Lu Sheng looked at the system panel and shook his head helplessly, then looked at his communication bracelet.

"I wonder how Senior Du Bai is doing. It's been half a year, but there's still no reply."

Lu Sheng thought of Du Bai, who had not replied to him, and sent another message to Du Bai.

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Du Bai still did not reply.

"Is it so difficult to build a Colossus? It's been so long—"

Lu Sheng muttered, then put down his communication bracelet and looked at the shelter.

"Forget it, I'll ignore it for now. Senior Du Bai will naturally contact me after he succeeds."

"As for now—it's time to meet those beasts again!"

Lu Sheng shook his head, stretched his waist, and slowly walked out of the shelter.

Without the protection of the shelter, the surrounding Deathly Silent Qi fell on Lu Sheng again, but now Lu Sheng had been on Gu Cha Star for half a year, and he was already accustomed to this Deathly Silent Qi.

His qi and blood lightly washed over his skin, isolating the Deathly Silent Qi outside.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Lu Sheng had just walked out of the shelter when a series of angry roars came from all around.

He saw Yellow Sand Beasts suddenly emerging from the yellow sand, staring at Lu Sheng with fierce eyes.

In the past six months on this Gu Cha Star, Lu Sheng had gradually become familiar with these Yellow Sand Beasts. He smiled slightly.

He stepped on the ground, and the yellow sand instantly shook, flying up.

Without the protection of the yellow sand, those Yellow Sand Beasts were completely reflected in Lu Sheng's vision.

The next moment, Lu Sheng transformed into a golden lightning bolt and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Bang bang bang!

Accompanied by a series of muffled explosions, the bodies of those Yellow Sand Beasts seemed to have suffered heavy damage and directly exploded.

They directly turned into wisps of dead silence energy, dissipating between the heavens and the earth.

Immediately afterward, Lu Sheng's figure reappeared in the same spot.

Looking at those Yellow Sand Beasts that had turned into dead silence energy, Lu Sheng smiled slightly: “These Yellow Sand Beasts, transformed from death to life, aren't they also a reflection of transformation from death to life?”

After speaking, Lu Sheng looked towards the boundless and endless desert of dead silence.

“This place—for cultivating the Flourishing Decay Art, it's simply a blessed land!”

Lu Sheng smiled, and after clearing out the surrounding Yellow Sand Beasts, he returned to the shelter once again.

Without wasting time, Lu Sheng closed his eyes and once again entered a state of cultivation.

During this next period of time, Lu Sheng was the same as in the first half of the year, except when people came to deliver dead silence crystals, Lu Sheng would stop cultivating, or when he was clearing out Yellow Sand Beasts, he would stop cultivating.

All the remaining time was spent on cultivation.

Although the environment within the Ancient Temple Star was harsh, for Lu Sheng, who was cultivating the Flourishing Decay Art, it could be considered a blessed land.

Cultivating in such a place also allowed the progress of the Flourishing Decay Art to improve very quickly.

And with the reference of the previous half-year, Lu Sheng wholeheartedly invested all of his time into the cultivation of the Flourishing Decay Art, temporarily abandoning all other cultivation methods and martial arts.

This also caused Lu Sheng's progress in the Flourishing Decay Art to accelerate a lot during the latter half of the year.

On this day, a message popped up on the communication wristband, awakening Lu Sheng from his cultivation state.

“Your term of guarding is about to expire, do you want to continue guarding?”

Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and the dark light within his eyes became even more profound.

Lu Sheng looked at his communication wristband, a deep look in his eyes.

“A year's time has almost arrived?”

Lu Sheng looked at the information on the communication wristband, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision, and in his field of vision, the system panel also emerged.

【Occupation: Martial Artist】

【Realm: Golden Body (20/100)】

【Undying Art: (40/100) LV1】

【Flourishing Decay Art: (80/100) LV1】

【Sky Stepping Gait: (80/100) LV1】

【Five Elements Small World: (70/100) LV1】

【Longevity Conception: (MAX)】

【Grand Five Elements Fist: (MAX)】

【Five Elements Conception: (MAX)】

【Basic Mechanical Limb Repair: (88/100) LV5】

【Basic Martial Arts Mastery: (1/100) LV8】

“The progress of the Flourishing Decay Art—has already reached eighty, even cultivating within this Ancient Temple Star, the progress becomes somewhat difficult to improve later on.”

“However, in a year's time, being able to improve a planetary-level cultivation method to a progress of eighty—looking at the entire School of Life, it is already very good.”

Lu Sheng's gaze was slightly deep, staring at the system panel that only he could see.

“The transformation from death to life in the Flourishing Decay Art, and the continuous vitality of the Undying Art, although somewhat different, are still complementary to each other on the whole. Even if I haven't cultivated the Undying Art much, under the stimulation of the Flourishing Decay Art, my Undying Art has also improved by five points of progress.”

“As for cultivation base—there are still ten points of progress away from the mid-stage of the Fourth Order.”

“I can already feel that the speed of improvement in my cultivation base has become much slower!”

Lu Sheng murmured softly, and then moved his gaze from the system panel to the communication wristband.

“For me, the guarding mission is the most suitable mission for me. Although the environment of the Ancient Temple Star is harsh and relatively monotonous, it has a multiplier effect on my cultivation, and I can even earn academic credits.”

“Continue guarding then!”

Lu Sheng made a decision, and immediately in the message, he chose to continue guarding for two years.

After making the decision, the communication wristband popped up another message, informing him that his first year's one thousand academic credits had been credited to his account.

Lu Sheng looked at the one thousand academic credits credited to his account and smiled slightly: “One thousand academic credits is enough for me to exchange for ten Flourishing Decay Fruits,

But not yet, it's not too late to exchange them after my cultivation of the Flourishing Decay Art falls into a bottleneck.”

As Lu Sheng spoke, he closed his eyes again, preparing to continue cultivating.

At the same time, within a planet of the School of Life.

A silver-white mecha instantly rose from the surface of the earth, and in just a few seconds, it broke through the barrier of the atmosphere, turning into a silver rainbow, and swept towards the direction of the Ancient Temple Star.

The silver mecha was a full ten meters tall, exuding an extremely strong vitality and aura. Under this powerful aura, even the surrounding space fluctuated.

And inside this silver mecha, Du Bai's face was filled with an excited smile.

“Hahahaha, my Colossus, has finally been built!!”

“Junior Brother Lu, I'm coming!”

Du Bai laughed wildly, controlling the Colossus and quickly swept towards the direction of the Ancient Temple Star.

Without spending too much time, Du Bai was already able to see in the distance, a planet that was yellow but revealed wisps of black dead silence energy, quietly suspended in the universe.

Immediately afterward, Du Bai controlled the Colossus and suddenly rushed towards the Ancient Temple Star.

Without any concealment, he rushed straight into the Ancient Temple Star.

Inside the shelter, Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, frowned slightly, raised his head, and looked at the position of the sky.

He felt an extremely terrifying aura was constantly approaching the Ancient Temple Star.

Lu Sheng did not understand the situation of the person who came, but the Qi and blood in his body instantly circulated at this moment, the two artistic conception diagrams behind him instantly manifested, and golden brilliance shone on the surface of his body.

He took a step out and directly came to the outside of the shelter, looking at the aura emanating from the sky.

The next moment, Lu Sheng's pupils shrank slightly.

A silver-white mecha instantly appeared in Lu Sheng's field of vision, and with the appearance of the mecha,

an extremely powerful aura instantly suppressed the dead silence energy that permeated between the heavens and the earth.

Even the constantly rolling yellow sand, at this moment, seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, instantly stagnating in mid-air.

It was even possible to clearly see the grains of sand that were frozen in mid-air.

“This is—”

Lu Sheng looked at the silver mecha in front of him, feeling a sense of familiarity, and then he heard a hearty laugh coming from the mecha.

“Hahaha, Junior Brother Lu, how is my Colossus?”

Hearing this voice, Lu Sheng was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face, and the aura in his body also dissipated at this moment.

“Senior Brother Du Bai!”

Lu Sheng said with a smile, and then he saw Du Bai walking out of the Colossus.

However, Lu Sheng noticed that Du Bai's cultivation base had been raised from the late stage of the Fourth Order to the peak of the Fourth Order.

Even before Du Bai walked out of the Colossus, the aura emitted by the Colossus, that was clearly an aura that only a Fifth Order Transcendent could emit!

Even—even stronger than those ordinary early-stage Fifth Order cultivators!

“This is the Colossus exclusive to the School of Life? It can actually allow a peak Fourth Order Transcendent to master the power that only a Fifth Order Transcendent can possess.”

Lu Sheng was also a little shocked in his heart.

After reaching the Fourth Order, it was extremely difficult to improve even a small realm, let alone cross a large realm, it was simply like a natural chasm.

But precisely—the Colossus successfully made up for this point!

“Such a powerful Colossus, no wonder Senior Brother Du Bai hasn't replied to my messages this year. Building such a Colossus is very difficult!”

Lu Sheng exclaimed.

At this time, Du Bai had already walked to Lu Sheng's front, and his whole person was filled with a kind of high-spirited aura. He patted Lu Sheng's shoulder and said with a smile.

“How is it? My thirty years of hard work, it's not a loss, right!”

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded, and after congratulating him, he heard Du Bai say.

“Now that my Colossus has also been built, it's time to fulfill my promise. Let's go,

I'll take you to pick up some missions and earn some academic credits!”
