Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

From head to toe, almost everything underwent a thorough transformation,

Of course, resetting the body like this brings immense pain as well, but Wang Ye has long become accustomed to such pain. The prolonged evolution has made him almost numb to many things, including pain. Nowadays, unless it is extremely deep-rooted pain, it’s hard to change his expression. Even if he were to carve the bone to expel the poison, it would merely be akin to a tickling level of pain for him.

After transforming his entire body, Wang Ye finally stopped continuing the self-mutilation behavior. He tried jumping to test the body’s strength, but the result naturally dissatisfied him. Having adapted to the original strength, enough to blast a skyscraper, reverting to a normal human body felt as frustrating as turning into a vegetative state overnight.

However, he didn’t continue to transform Old Yi’s muscles, because now it’s enough. The previous transformation of his bones already allows Old Yi to possess a physique comparable to the limits of humanity, capable of breaking several world records in sports with just appropriate exertion.

If he continues to transform, it would consume Wang Ye’s energy additionally, and is likely to damage his own Primordial Spirit.

Currently, Wang Ye has merely possessed Old Yi’s body for five minutes and already feels a strong sense of fatigue from his Primordial Spirit.

This sense of fatigue is hard to describe; it is unlike the soreness after high-intensity muscle workouts, nor the exhaustion following long nights. It’s purely a feeling of mortality.

Friends who have experienced death understand that on the brink of death, the body does not feel tired or sleepy but it feels like gradually losing consciousness and control over the body. Similar to feeling a stroke or low blood sugar, the body slowly loses control, and although the heart is in panic, one can feel limbs gradually departing from one’s control, and consciousness starts to fade away slowly.

Actually, this is quite similar to the current fatigue Wang Ye feels,

He can foresee that if he continues maintaining this state, staying in Old Yi’s body for five more minutes, he should be reaching his limit.

By then, if he doesn’t return to his own body, he would be at risk of his soul scattering instantly.

Despite the danger, Wang Ye still wants to try pushing his limits.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he operated Inexperienced Fire Meditation using Old Yi’s body, nurturing his mind, striving to extend the duration of his possession.

The body gradually released heat, affecting not only the external environment but also feeding back his Primordial Spirit, allowing it to stay longer outside.

And Old Yi at this moment,

still feels surrounded by darkness, as if he is in a completely lightless small dark room.

The most terrifying part for him is that he has no sensory abilities, cannot speak, and cannot even feel his own body,

He seems like a fictional character without an entity, leaving only thoughts.

"Is this... the feeling of being possessed?"

Although he knows he won’t be harmed, his heart is still uncontrollably filled with panic,

A strong sense of fear lingers in his heart, an endless stream of thoughts surges.

Actually, it’s not entirely his fault,

The Three Souls leaving the Seven Spirits naturally exhibit such reactions.

From the explanation of Three Souls and Seven Spirits, most people might think it’s the body that cannot live without the soul, that leaving the soul would be death.

But in truth, the soul cannot leave the body either, since Wang Ye’s Primordial Spirit emergence for too long results in gradual fatigue,

Then Old Yi’s soul being in an independent state naturally leads to negative circumstances,

Even though he hasn’t left his body, he remains within his own sea of consciousness brain domain.

But due to the excessively low strength of his soul, he produces a strong sense of panic simply by staying in the brain domain.

Moreover, there’s another aspect: time flows inside the brain domain are generally much slower than reality.

Wang Ye’s brain domain and real-time differential is ten thousand to one; ordinary people’s time differential ratio isn’t that shocking but it’s still over a hundred to one.

In other words, Old Yi has already stayed in his brain domain for more than five hundred minutes now,

Almost equivalent to eight hours, which is half a day.

And he has to continue staying for another eight hours.

Who wouldn’t panic being in a little dark room without light or sound for such a long time?

Strictly speaking, this is partly Wang Ye’s fault as well, because it’s his first time possessing, so he didn’t properly arrange a refuge for Old Yi’s Primordial Spirit. If it were experienced Divine Beings, they would let the possessed Primordial Spirit enter a very long dream during possession, usually a sweet dream. Therefore, those possessed by Divine Beings, including Chinese Shamanism and Divination Children, not only wouldn’t feel panic or fear but instead would feel very comfortable because they would have a very long, sweet dream.

Gradually, five minutes passed,

Wang Ye was already sensing signs of his Primordial Spirit’s eradication; he felt like a fluctuating candle flame in the cold winter night, unaware of when it might extinguish suddenly.

Upon sensing this, he immediately detached himself from Old Yi’s body,

Swiftly transformed into a golden light, returning to his own body.

Only then did the condition of his Primordial Spirit gradually stabilize.

Old Yi also came out from the dark sea of consciousness, regaining sight of the light, reclaiming control over his body.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Ye before him, unusually pale-faced, seated on the ground, practicing Samadhi True Fire, recovering from his Primordial Spirit’s damage.

Waves of high temperature blossomed from his body in lotus form, yet due to Wang Ye’s deliberate control, the fierce flames did not harm Old Yi.

Old Yi was just about to ask what happened,

But at the moment he raised his hand, he suddenly realized that his body seemed entirely different from before.

He stopped in astonishment and examined his body carefully, only to find that the old injuries bothering him for decades had all disappeared,

Moreover, his physical state was remarkably good, as if he returned to youth.

This strange transformation made Old Yi marvel at Wang Ye’s miraculousness.

At the same time, his nose felt somewhat sore, and a wave of longing to cry rose in his heart. This thrill and emotion of the time flowing backward and regaining youth can only be truly appreciated by those who are elderly and frail. Time and aging have always been impossible to reverse, something everyone desires but can never achieve in their lifetime. Anyone who ages will reminisce the youthful feeling, and countless people until reaching seventy or eighty, dying on a sickbed, never feel youthful again. Youth... the most splendid period of one’s life, just thinking about it is moving.

Now, Old Yi has regained the feeling of youth with Wang Ye’s help,

He turned his head to look at the mirror placed aside, and all the wrinkles on his face had vanished.

The lumbar and knee diseases that plagued him for decades, making him unable to sit or stand comfortably, also mysteriously healed.

Although he doesn’t know how Wang Ye achieved this, one thing is certain,

That is Wang Ye has already become like reborn parents for him.

He has recreated his existence.

While parents are the existence who brought his life into this world, Wang Ye is the existence who rekindled his aging life with new vitality.

Old Yi always couldn’t understand the ancient Death Warriors, they had arms and legs, had skills to make a living, so why would they risk their lives for others knowing that life is singular, dying for others is not worth it.

Now, however, he faintly understands the hearts of those Death Warriors.

Now Wang Ye also slowly opened his eyes,

Seeing Old Yi’s surprised expression, he smiled and said, "How is it, can you adapt to this new body?"

"It’s miraculous... not only did all my old injuries disappear, but my physical quality also became many times stronger. I even feel like I can break Olympic records!" Old Yi couldn’t help but praise.
