What Should I Do If I Can’T Die?

The severing of his meridians did not immediately cause his death. Before dying, he quickly changed his respawn point to under the bed.

Afterwards, his eyes rolled back, and his heart meridians were completely severed, causing his death.

After his breath ceased, a system prompt appeared.

"You died due to demonic cultivation, Intelligence +1!"

"You draw strength from death and gain 1 attribute point in Freedom!"

"You will resurrect in three seconds!"

...

Song Shi crawled out from under the bed, not discouraged by his death due to demonic cultivation, but instead couldn't help but laugh.

"Damn it, unexpectedly encountered an unexpected safe method of death, and this time the fatal factor is not an external object, but the cultivation technique I practiced."

He felt like he had discovered a new continent, which was much safer than going out to die.

"Can this method of death only be used ten times?"

He asked the system in his mind and received a reply that the same cultivation technique can only be used to die ten times.

In other words, if he changes his cultivation technique and goes into demonic cultivation, he can continue to reap rewards.

"Wow!"

Song Shi exclaimed, immediately climbing onto the bed to continue his cultivation.

Those who practice martial arts follow the path of refining essence and transforming it into qi. Song Shi condensed the essence within his body, forming what is called True Qi according to the cultivation technique.

This True Qi is estimated to be similar to yang energy and is mainly used to temper the body, especially the parts that need to be cultivated.

For example, the Iron Sand Palm uses True Qi to temper the palm, combined with the friction and heating of external techniques, to cultivate a pair of powerful and domineering iron palms.

Song Shi once again attempted to condense his essence in the dantian, but this dantian was not the lower dantian, but the middle dantian.

This place was originally the location where qi is stored, connecting the qi and blood throughout the body, and is the place where some powerful martial arts choose to condense their qi.

This time, perhaps his Intelligence would increase a bit. With his original Intelligence of 1.4, the increase would be significant.

He felt as if he had suddenly gained enlightenment. The previously unclear aspects suddenly became clear, allowing the essence in his whole body to smoothly enter the middle dantian.

"The second attempt was successful. I can still increase my Intelligence even after experiencing failure. I guess only I can cultivate like this."

Song Shi muttered to himself, immediately continuing to circulate the qi in the lower half of his body. However, as soon as the qi entered, it became chaotic.

Song Shi had a strong physique, and the power of the chaotic qi easily caused his meridians to sever once again.

"It's still a bit difficult."

Song Shi died while spitting blood.

"You died due to demonic cultivation, Intelligence +1!"

"You draw strength from death and gain 1 attribute point in Freedom!"

...

Song Shi crawled out from under the bed in frustration and sighed, "Without a teacher's guidance, the risks of practicing randomly are really high."

Not wanting to climb up and down, he simply sat by the edge of the bed and continued to explore.

A person who had never come into contact with martial arts, who didn't even have a clear understanding of his own meridians, began using death to gain experience.

This time, he finally condensed his essence into the middle dantian, transforming it into True Qi, and then mobilized it, following the meridians in his hands, stumbling and tumbling until it reached his palms.

Suddenly, his palms started to heat up and quickly turned red, as if they had been cooked.

"How amazing!"

Song Shi marveled. It was his first time experiencing the mysteries of martial arts.

Before he could observe further, due to being distracted, the qi in his body lost control.

As the True Qi surged chaotically, Song Shi's chest swelled, his face turned red, and he spat blood and died.

The third time he died due to losing control of the so-called qi, Song Shi was a bit unwilling. After resurrecting, he focused all his attention on the qi.

The essence condensed into True Qi in the dantian, and then stumbled and tumbled through a so-called circuit.

This circuit was actually just one loop.

This loop involved mobilizing the essence throughout the body and injecting it into the middle dantian, condensing it into True Qi, then injecting it into the palms along the meridians, and finally completing a loop back to the dantian.

Completing the entire process would temper the palms and make the True Qi more pure.

Song Shi thought he had found the key and quickly condensed the True Qi, but soon there was a loud bang.

A hole burst open in his chest.

This time, he had condensed too much True Qi and failed to control it, directly causing his dantian to explode, resulting in instant death.

After resurrecting, Song Shi felt a bit frustrated.

He did not expect his strong physique to become a constraint, which would increase the risks of cultivation.

The abundance of vital energy in his body, coupled with his relatively weak mental strength and lack of control, resulted in scattered and bloated True Qi.

The result is like a child driving a car, where True Qi could collide at any moment.

No matter how resilient his meridians and dantian were, they could not withstand the internal damage.

Although his dantian exploded once, Song Shi did not rush to use his attribute points to enhance his mental attributes.

One reason is that he wanted to die a few more times.

Another reason is to expose various problems as much as possible, so that he can know how to solve them in the future.

After dying and resurrecting for the fourth time due to demonic possession, he deliberately controlled the speed of True Qi condensation, avoiding another explosion of the dantian. However, his cultivation speed became too slow.

He had to find a balance, but ended up dying again due to a rupture in his spiritual veins.

After dying eight times in a row, Song Shi began to suspect that he was too stupid.

"Why is it so difficult to control this True Qi? I have tried so many times, but it is still like an untamed wild horse, impossible to control accurately."

Song Shi had a headache. "Moreover, the more I circulate the True Qi, the easier it is to go into demonic possession. Is it because my physique is too strong?"

He didn't know that one reason was because he cultivated too quickly, and a normal martial artist, especially a beginner, would be satisfied with cultivating one or two cycles in one night. They must spend a long time sensing the qi within their body, constantly refining and condensing it in a gradual and safe manner.

The second reason was that he did not complement his internal cultivation with external techniques. The Iron Sand Palm was originally a martial art that emphasized extreme yang and extreme strength. The condensed True Qi was also fierce and domineering, requiring the insertion of iron sand to transform hardness with hardness. It was not meant to be cultivated in the way he was doing it.

Without anyone to guide him, Song Shi, no matter how talented he was, couldn't find all the reasons in a short period of time without any martial arts foundation.

Of course, Song Shi was not afraid of death. He could try whatever he wanted.

After going into demonic possession for the ninth time, Song Shi was able to circulate five cycles continuously, and the True Qi condensed in his middle dantian had become quite thick.

His experience in cultivating the technique had also improved significantly compared to the beginning.

"Perhaps my mental strength is not enough. I will spend my attribute points to enhance my mental attributes!"

Song Shi opened the system panel.

...

Name: Song Shi

Comprehension: 10.4

Talents: Fire Spirit Root, Innate Divine Power

Ability: Iron Sand Palm (Entry-level)

Energy: Yang Qi 37

Attribute Points: 26

Lottery Chances: 0

...

"Huh, am I considered entry-level in Iron Sand Palm? That shouldn't be right. How can one go into demonic possession at the entry level?"

Song Shi was a little surprised to see the addition of Iron Sand Palm as an ability in the system.

He didn't cultivate the Carefree Hand, so it didn't count as an ability. He wasn't surprised by that. But how could Iron Sand Palm be considered entry-level?

"Perhaps I practiced it correctly but overlooked some factors, which led to demonic possession."

Song Shi realized a possible factor and immediately noticed that his physique had increased by 0.2.

"Cultivating martial arts can increase physique!"

Guessing the reason, Song Shi didn't hesitate to spend 20 attribute points to enhance his mental attributes, raising it from 8 to 28.

The next moment, his head buzzed, and the whole world became clear again. He noticed many things that he hadn't paid attention to before.

Without wasting any time, he began cultivating the internal technique of Iron Sand Palm.

This time, the feeling was completely different. The True Qi circulation became much more obedient.

One cycle... three cycles... when he reached the sixth cycle, Song Shi felt very smooth.

But after ten cycles, the True Qi started to act up again.

At twenty cycles.

Boom!

Song Shi exploded directly, shattered into pieces. The power was not small, causing the bed to be thrown away and the floor to crack like a spiderweb.

"Ding, congratulations on going into demonic possession ten times. Awakening Dao Heart Enlightenment!"
