In the cultivation world, the lifespan of cultivators before the Yuan Infant Period is actually very short, ordinary people who have not cultivated can probably live to 80 years old, those who cultivate in the foundation building period can live to 120 years old, those who cultivate in the enlightenment period can live to 200 years old, those who cultivate in the Spiritual Period can live to 300 years old, and those who cultivate in the Jindan period can live up to 500 years old.

And what is completely different from the previous situation of calculating the longevity limit in units of 100 years is that after being promoted to the Yuan Infant Period, the life span of the cultivator will immediately increase several times, becoming very long, even if the cultivator has just cultivated the Yuan Infant, he can live to 2000 years old, and when the Yuan Infant is out of the body, he can live up to 5000 years old. After that, whether it is the Distraction Period, the Merge Period, or the Tribulation Period, their maximum lifespan will no longer increase.

In the cultivation realm, the maximum time that any cultivator can live in the human realm is 5,000 years, and then either succeed in the tribulation and ascend to the immortal realm, or fail in the tribulation and disappear, or transfer to the cultivation and scatter the immortals, and live in secret, struggling to fight for the remaining glimmer of life in the heavenly dao; there is absolutely no accident. This is because after cultivating into the Yuan Infant, the cultivator will spontaneously absorb the aura of heaven and earth and slowly improve his realm, even if he no longer cultivates after that, he will usher in the test of the heavenly tribulation after the realm is satisfied. And this time is usually within 5000 years.

Of course, a cultivator who has reached the Tribulation Stage in that situation will definitely be dead and lifeless when facing the Heavenly Tribulation, and there will never be any accidents. Because whether it was the true cultivation realm or the cultivation strength they possessed, they were all 108,000 miles away from the cultivators who had cultivated to the tribulation stage. The huge difference is really impossible to describe in clear words.

To use a more intuitive analogy, it is as if it is a ten-meter-deep water, this kind of cultivator is a small pond the size of a palm, and a serious cultivator is a large lake with thousands of miles of smoke, and those geniuses are even more vast and boundless oceans, and there is no way to compare them with each other.

Gossip aside, let's get down to business. After sorting out such a detailed comparison table, no matter who it is, you can see at a glance from the comparison of the above sets of data that Zhang Sanfeng's achievements are an incredible miracle. He directly surpassed the cultivators of the Enlightenment Period and the Spiritual Period, which had a formal cultivation lineage, and obtained a long lifespan comparable to that of a cultivator in the Jindan Period.

If Zhang Sanfeng is allowed to take a step further on this foundation and break through to a new realm, then he will be almost at the same level as the Yuan Infant Stage cultivator. That realm, even in the cultivation realm where there are countless cultivators, can already be regarded as a true cultivation master, and no matter where he goes, it will arouse the admiration of countless people. The degree of difficulty and rarity can be imagined!

How could such a result not surprise Ye Qiuli inexplicably, unbelievable! You must know that although the martial arts technique was transformed and evolved from the remnants of the exercises such as cultivating immortals and cultivating demons, it was not a real cultivation of immortals and demons after all. There is no direct comparison between the two, at least, there is not much comparison in terms of cultivation speed, degree of body transformation, increase in lifespan, etc.

The exercises of cultivating immortals and demons are based on immortality and ascending to the heavenly realm as the only goal, so it is natural to put the transformation of the body, the improvement of the realm, and the enhancement of cultivation in the first place in cultivation. Absorbing spiritual energy, accumulating energy, improving the realm of cultivators, and transforming the physique of cultivators in the fastest and safest way is the most important element of it, and it can greatly increase its lifespan after cultivation, which is also one of its essential functions.

However, the martial arts exercises are practical exercises created by later cultivators in the case of hopelessness of ascending to immortals, in order to maximize the development and use of their own abilities and strengthen their combat effectiveness as the first premise.

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and there is a focus on the exercises. It is not a martial arts technique aimed at the pursuit of immortality, even if it can increase its lifespan after cultivation, it is not its own function, but the natural reward obtained after breaking through the realm. Just as ordinary people maintain their health by exercising regularly, so as to achieve longevity, it is also the right thing to live longer after practicing martial arts.

In any case, martial arts training is also a healthy sport, especially some unfathomable martial arts exercises, which can be practiced both internally and externally, ensuring the health of the practitioner to the greatest extent. Therefore, it is absolutely normal for people who practice martial arts to live longer than ordinary people, even if they live a long life, it is completely acceptable. It's just that this level of increase in lifespan is far from being comparable to cultivating the truth.

According to the records in the Shaolin Temple's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the average acquired master, if there is no disease or disaster, can usually live to 100 years old, the congenital master can live to 150 years old, and the peerless master of the martial arts mythological level can live up to 200 years old. Although these numbers were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, compared to the lifespan of cultivators of the same level, they still had a much shorter lifespan.

And now, Zhang Sanfeng unexpectedly broke through several levels in martial arts cultivation one after another, reaching a new realm that no one had ever seen before, far exceeding the lifespan that a martial arts master should have, and directly lived for nearly 400 years, almost reaching the lifespan of an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator. If you want to say that there is no special situation in this, you won't believe it if you kill Ye Qiuli. This is equivalent to a heavy truck in terms of speed is not inferior to a professional supercar, since there is no problem with the sports car, it must be a large truck that has undergone special modifications.

You must know that the efficiency of martial arts exercises in absorbing aura is definitely much lower than that of other exercises, and even if it is exactly the same, it will take longer to break through the realm. Not to mention that Zhang Sanfeng is cultivating on the earth where aura and resources are extremely scarce, and it must be more difficult to break through, if you want to successfully break through to the next realm before the life limit comes, in addition to personal efforts, it will take a lot of chance.

Regarding the scarcity of the earth's resources, Lu Yan has already made it very clear. With his Mahayana realm, he could not find many cultivation resources by releasing a powerful ability that could cover almost half a planet with his divine sense, not to mention those martial arts masters who were only equivalent to cultivators in the Spiritual Movement Period and the Jindan Period. With their abilities, unless they coincidentally get some treasures of heaven and earth, they won't be able to find much to help them cultivate!

As mentioned earlier, even in the cultivation realm, which is very rich in aura and resources, it will take more than 100 years for a cultivator with medium qualifications to cultivate to the Jindan stage. On a resource-poor earth, no matter how much he spends his resources to achieve the same breakthrough, this number may have to be multiplied several times.

This is also the most crucial reason for the complete decline of the true cultivation world on the earth, there is no way to successfully break through to the next realm before the end of life, no matter how exquisite the exercises are, no matter how magical the civilization is, if it is not developed and verified, it will naturally annihilate due to the death of the inheritor.

It was precisely because of such a clear understanding that Ye Qiuli knew with great certainty that Zhang Sanfeng would never be able to cultivate to the realm of land immortals just by relying on conventional martial arts techniques, and he must have mastered a peculiar special cultivation method that was different from ordinary martial arts secrets, and even different from the cultivation of true martial arts. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain all this he had done, and the constraints of objective conditions would be there.

And for this strange technique mastered by Zhang Sanfeng, Ye Qiuli was naturally full of fascination, and he had already secretly made up his mind in his heart, and when he had processed all the secret book materials obtained from the Shaolin Temple Scripture Pavilion, and all the martial arts that should be practiced were completed, he immediately went to Wudang Mountain to find out. If it was possible, he didn't mind getting this secret method from the Wudang Sect at all at a certain price.

......

Ye Qiuli stole a lot of martial arts cheats and cultivation materials from the Shaolin Temple Scripture Pavilion, and it took him more than half a year before he transcribed, examined, and studied them all, and thoroughly studied the essence of each cheatbook, transforming them into his own knowledge and accumulation, and chose some of them to practice for him, so as to temporarily enhance his combat ability.

First of all, in terms of internal strength and mental method, although this part is the part that Ye Qiuli spends the most energy on and studies the most, he just hasn't cultivated any of them. It's not that there are no good internal strength cheats in the exercise materials he stolen, it's that he has already cultivated a top-level foundation building technique, and he has no intention of dropping the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

It turned out that after half a year of cultivation and tempering, his "Five Elements True Qi" had been successfully promoted to the late stage of foundation building with the assistance of a large number of Pei Yuan Dan, and his true qi cultivation was already quite profound, and it was completely more than enough for the envoy to urge those martial arts stunts, and he didn't want to indiscriminately cultivate the internal force of other attributes, thereby affecting the purity of his true qi, causing trouble in the use and improvement of his true qi.

After all, "Five Elements True Qi" is the real cultivation foundation building method, and it is the foundation of his future cultivation career, and he must not be neglected at all. He didn't want to do that kind of stupid thing that put the cart before the horse, and destroy his cultivation foundation for a little petty profit. With a higher-level cultivation goal and a great pursuit of ascending to immortality, he no longer looked down on those mysterious martial arts techniques in the eyes of ordinary people.
