Chapter 90

Outside the cave, the cold wind howled, and the temperature had dropped to minus 50 degrees, or even lower. The sandstorm was particularly intense, lifting stones the size of fists and scattering them wildly through the air, capable of causing severe injuries. In such weather, even with a suit of armor, one would surely die.

Even deep in the cave, Xueling and Luohan felt the intense cold, hugging each other for warmth and covering themselves with dry grass, yet they still shivered uncontrollably.

"Such weather, staying outside would mean certain death. I wonder how many candidates have found caves like us to take shelter?" Xueling sighed. If not for following Jiang Li, even finding a cave would have meant being devoured by villains like Wang Changrong.

On the planet Roshacha, every habitable cave deep within had the presence of villains. Over the past hundred years, countless criminals had been exiled here.

Every year, millions of criminals from the entire human race were released here to fend for themselves, and those who survived were few and far between, all of them ruthless and cruel.

Jiang Li, however, did not feel the cold at all. His cells had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the energy from the wormhole jump, giving him a faint sense of being immune to cold and heat.

His survival ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people, even surpassing Wang Changrong.

He slowly practiced the Emperor Wind Seal and the Emperor Thunder Seal, and Wang Changrong in another cave watched every move carefully, not missing a single detail.

"Indeed, it is a world-class martial art..." After watching his practice, Wang Changrong sighed. "Every move is perfectly natural, impossible to modify. The entire martial art has no flaws. I wonder what genius came up with it? The Thunder Seal vibrates, exterminating evil, while the Wind Seal is swift, making time pass... Such martial arts can only be created by my ancestor, Wang Chao..."

"Have you ever seen your ancestor?" Jiang Li asked quickly.

Wang Chao was the martial arts emperor of the state era two hundred years ago. Many martial arts theories were proposed by him, and he was almost a god in the eyes of many experts.

"No," Wang Changrong said. "I don't even know if my ancestor is alive or dead. However, my ancestor's physical and mental realms have reached levels unimaginable to humans. He shouldn't have died so easily. According to our family records, his vitality was already in the triple digits a hundred years ago, making him the first human on Earth to break through the triple-digit barrier. After breaking through, he disappeared, and no one knows where he went."

"Triple-digit vitality..." Jiang Li could hardly imagine how powerful such a person could be. "Have you ever seen a triple-digit powerhouse? How strong are they?"

Jiang Li's current vitality was 2, which was already extremely powerful, allowing him to break a large iron ball with one punch and run 100 meters in 3 seconds, equivalent to a superhuman. Compared to double-digit powerhouses, the difference was like heaven and earth.

What did triple-digit mean? He couldn't explain it.

"I haven't seen one, but my ancestor once conducted a nuclear explosion test, standing at the center of the explosion and walking out unscathed afterward. In the elite zone, there have also been human nuclear explosion tests over the past few decades," Wang Changrong shook his head.

"Human nuclear explosion tests?" Jiang Li had heard of them but could not imagine how anyone could survive in the center of a nuclear explosion, where temperatures could vaporize any substance, reaching over 20 million degrees, or even 100 million degrees. How could a human, made of flesh and blood, survive?

A mountain would melt.

However, the human body was incredibly mysterious. In the memories from the Great Dream Heart Sutra, the powerhouses in that world could even control the tides.

"Your Wind and Thunder martial arts have given me great inspiration. In return, I will demonstrate the Wang family's Eight Trigram Wind and Thunder Palm for you." As he spoke, Wang Changrong stood up and suddenly attacked, one hand using the Thunder Palm and the other the Wind Palm.

"Watch carefully, the left hand is Thunder, the right hand is Wind! Thunder is Yang, Wind is Yin, using both simultaneously, the Wind and Thunder burst forth! Our Wang family's Eight Trigram Wind and Thunder Palm is based on pairs of Yin and Yang: Water and Fire, Heaven and Earth, Wind and Thunder, Mountain and Marsh. I see that your Wind and Thunder Seals do not have Yin and Yang, which is a pity. If you could use your left hand for Thunder and your right hand for Wind, it would be perfect, and the power would increase several times."

His body seemed to be divided into two halves, one hand fierce and the other gentle, alternating and reaching the peak, forming a circle of air currents in the cave, with an "S"-shaped curve cutting through the middle.

"Watch carefully, the transformation of Yin and Yang, left hand Wind, right hand Thunder!"

Suddenly, he changed, switching the hand that used the Thunder Palm to the Wind Palm and the hand that used the Wind Palm to the Thunder Palm, the changes in hardness and softness were unpredictable.

"Amazing!" Jiang Li realized the profoundness of the Wind and Thunder martial arts, the transformation of hardness and softness, the mutual combat of left and right, the balance of Yin and Yang, and the natural perfection.

He couldn't achieve using one hand for Wind and the other for Thunder.

When using Thunder, he couldn't use Wind, and when using Wind, he couldn't activate Thunder.

Let alone switching hands during combat to perform the transformation of Yin and Yang.

His martial arts cultivation was clearly inferior to Wang Changrong.

After finishing the set of boxing, Wang Changrong sat down and sighed. "I've been on Roshacha for over ten years, and my martial arts cultivation has advanced rapidly, as has my mental state. However, it's useless because my physical body has been severely damaged. The cultivation of the mind and body must complement each other, neither can be neglected. As Lu Dongbin once said, cultivating the mind without the body is the first mistake in cultivation. Cultivating the ancestral mind without the elixir, the spirit will never reach sainthood. My ancestor Wang Chao's mental cultivation was almost invincible, but limited by the times, he couldn't manifest his powers. Later, with the technology from the fallen human warship, his physical body was strengthened, and he immediately manifested his powers, even surpassing them. If I could leave now and obtain resources, my cultivation would make a great leap forward."

At night, the old and young man discussed martial arts in the cave, with great enthusiasm.

Although Jiang Li was wary of him, he gained many valuable experiences from him and had to admire his martial arts cultivation.

They discussed until midnight, and Wang Changrong waved his hand. "I need to meditate and cultivate. There will be new challenges tomorrow, and I can't waste time here with you."

"I will also meditate." Jiang Li sat cross-legged and said to Luohan and Xueling, "If you are cold, hug me. I should have some heat."

"Great!" Xueling immediately let go of Luohan and came over to hug Jiang Li, immediately feeling the warmth from his body. "It's really warm..."

Luohan hesitated for a moment, seeing Xueling hugging Jiang Li, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

"What are you worrying about at this time? If your body gets cold and you get sick, you'll die here and be eaten by others." Jiang Li saw her shivering from the cold and smiled. "Aren't you coming over?"

"Oh..." Luohan softly responded and also came over, reaching out to hug Jiang Li, and they both leaned on him, one on each side.

Everything was for survival.

Jiang Li began to meditate.

This was his first time "meditating" to rest. He had been on the move all day after killing Yu Muhua and Jiang Liu, and now he could finally rest properly.

Deep sleep allows the body to fully rest, but the state of meditation is even more magical.

Jiang Li wanted to use the state of meditation to see what adjustments were needed in his endocrine system.

However, as soon as he entered meditation, the first thing he noticed was the milky white stone!

Due to absorbing the energy from the wormhole jump three times, the stone hanging on his chest had developed patterns. Jiang Li couldn't understand the mysteries of these patterns, but when his mental energy radiated onto the milky white stone, the stone suddenly moved, and Jiang Li felt a door slowly opening. Behind the door was a space! This space was about three meters high and over a hundred square meters, real and not illusory.

"What? A space!"

He was stunned, and his mental energy immediately weakened, causing the space door to disappear.

There was a space inside the milky white stone! This was a surprising discovery.

Perhaps the milky white stone absorbed the energy from the wormhole jump, creating the space. And to open this space, one needed to reach the mental state of meditation.

Jiang Li had always known that once he reached the state of meditation, he could unlock the mysteries of the milky white stone. Indeed, now he had unlocked the space within, which brought many benefits!

Having a space three meters high and over a hundred square meters was like carrying a house with him.

In any novel, there are descriptions of spatial bags and Qiankun bags. Humans are also researching spatial folding technology, which is a derivative of wormhole jump technology.

However, even the technology in the elite zone has not yet developed spatial bags, which are still in the experimental stage.

But Jiang Li could use the milky white stone to have such a large space, which was a strategic secret.

"Wow, if I continue to jump through wormholes and absorb energy each time, will the space in this stone grow larger?" Jiang Li thought and again used the state of meditation to observe the mysteries of the milky white stone.

This time, he entered a dream.

"Great Dream for thousands of years, what year is it now?"

The voice echoed again.

In the dream, the man in white appeared again, smiling at Jiang Li. "Congratulations, you have finally seen through life and death, reaching the first realm of cultivation, stepping through the threshold of cultivation. Now you are the master of the Great Dream Heart Sutra and can begin the cultivation of the Emperor Fire Seal. However, initiating this cultivation will absorb your mental energy, causing weakness, and it will take 49 days to recover. Do you want to start? Let the Great Dream Heart Sutra absorb your mental energy?"

"No, do not initiate."

Jiang Li quickly sent out his thoughts.

This was too much; being weak for 49 days was worse than dying. In such a dangerous environment on Roshacha, even being weak for a minute could be fatal.

Although the Emperor Fire Seal was very tempting, now was not the time to cultivate.

"Since that's the case, come back when you make your decision..." The man in white spoke and slowly disappeared.

Jiang Li woke up from his meditation, pondering what had happened, and understood some of the situation. The milky white stone itself was a treasure, and the Great Dream Heart Sutra within was a cultivation method infused with the mental energy of a supreme expert. Both had secrets, but these secrets were beyond his comprehension.

The benefit of this meditation was that he could now open the space within the milky white stone to store items.

He wondered if he could store people in it.

He again used his mental energy to penetrate, and the space slowly opened. He carefully explored and found that it was temporarily a vacuum. However, once opened, it could communicate with the outside, allowing air to flow in and store living beings.

It was like a house over a hundred square meters.
