Upgrading Aptitude, Burning 10,000 Years of Lifespan in The First Try (1)

According to their agreement, Li Changsheng activated the Life Scripture and transferred five years' worth of lifespans to Song Yuxuang.

Although Song Yuxuang couldn't read through him, he could sense that a huge amount of vitality was being extracted from Li Changsheng's body and condensed into an orb of light that penetrated his own body in the next second.

He let out a delightful groan as the immense vitality coursing through his meridian filled him with endless energy, which his withering body greedily absorbed, akin to a fish that was being stranded on the shore, dragged by the wave back to the ocean.

Just like Mo Tiesha, his body regained its shape when he was still in his prime. His figure was lean but fit, and his toned muscles exuded endless strength. His body was the embodiment of perfection for a martial artist.

His short white hair grew up to his shoulder and regained its original black color. Now, he looked more like someone in his mid-twenties.

Although he wasn't as handsome as Li Changseng, his sharp eyebrows and firm jawline gave him different kinds of charm.

It took a few minutes for his transformation to end, and Song Yuxuang hurriedly inspected the change in his body. Seemingly stupefied by what he sensed, he stood there in daze, staring blankly at his hands with incredulous expression plastered on his face, murmuring, "It's really restored… my vitality is really restored!"

"Hahaha!! I, Song Yuxuang, am back again! Hahahahaha!"

The thunderous burst of laughter reverberated all across the space, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, hurling and crashing against the entire dungeon, causing a brief tremor that could be felt by all of the prisoners in the deepest level of Eternal Dungeon.

After a few minutes, it finally quieted down.

Li Changsheng gave Song Yuxuang a look and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It feels good." Song Yuxuang's voice was brimming with excitement as he repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fist. "It's good to be alive."

Li Changsheng nodded at him and said, "Then it's your turn to hold your end of the bargain."

Song Yuxuang glinted at Li Changseng; his gaze was a little sharp. But when he saw Mo Tiesha make a subtle movement to protect the boy, he felt a little apprehensive.

He actually wanted to threaten Li Changsheng or directly put him under his control so that he could increase his lifespan freely. But Mo Tiesha's presence gave him a sense of oppression, which was a sign that Mo Tiesha wasn't any weaker than him, maybe even a little bit stronger than him.

Moreover, he had verbally warned him before that he better not have any crooked thoughts toward Li Changsheng because, just as he was able to give him a lifespan, nothing could prevent him from taking it back.

Although Song Yuxuang didn't believe what Mo Tiesha told him completely, he didn't dare act rashly against Li Changsheng.

So, he decided to fulfill his promise and immediately transmitted all the details about the technique directly into Li Changsheng's mind.

"This is the "Meridian Reforging Secret Art" that you want."

Instantly, countless pieces of information pertaining to the secret technique emerged in Li Changsheng's mind, and after digesting it for a while, he finally revealed a joyous expression.

With this technique in his hand, as long as he was willing to burn his lifespan, he could continuously upgrade his profound meridian.

The longer his lifespan he sacrificed, the greater the improvement of his profound meridian.

Even Song Yuxuan, the one who was the biggest known beneficiary of this secret art, didn't know what its upper limit was.

Li Changsheng, impatient to try this technique for himself, quickly issued a command to Mo Tiesha.

"Protect me. I want to practice."

Without sparing Mo Tiesha and Song Yuxuan a single glance, Li Changsheng immediately sat in lotus position and practiced on the spot.

Mo Tiesha obediently complied, quietly standing by his side to protect him.

Seeing someone as vicious as Mo Tiesha act so meekly like a guard dog in front of Li Changsheng, Song Yuxuan became more and more terrified of him, and couldn't help but wonder: 'This boy is obviously a waste who is only capable of reaching the fifth level of body refining, why did this person willingly act on his beck and call? This boy's not that simple.'

Oblivious to Song Yuxuan's mental drama, Li Changsheng began to comprehend the technique.

From the information transmitted by Song Yuxuan, he knew that if he used ten years of his lifespan, he could improve his profound meridian to mid-grade profound meridian; if he used 100 years of his lifespan, he could improve it to upper-grade profound meridian; and if he burned around 1,000 years of his lifespan, he would be able to upgrade his profound meridian to top-grade profound meridian!

It meant that he would finally be able to catch up with his prodigious younger brother, Li Tianji!

It was worthy of being created by someone called Crazy Demon. Not only fierce, but it was also very vicious!

But he liked it!

What if he directly burned 10,000 years in one session? This was uncharted territory because Song Yuxuan himself had stopped using this technique after he transformed his profound meridian into a top-grade profound meridian.

After all, as an Origin Returning realm cultivator, he only had a bit more than 2,000 years of lifespan, which half of it was already spent for increasing his aptitude.

That was one of the reason why a supreme-level expert like Song Yuxuan could end up in such a grave state just after a mere 40 years of imprisonment.

However, although he didn't try it himself, as someone who had mastered the Meridian Reforging Secret Art to almost perfection, he instinctively knew that a thousand years of lifespan wasn't the limit of this technique.

This was what Li Changsheng understood from Song Yuxuan's knowledge.

"Let's try 10,000 years first!"

After making up his mind, Li Changsheng began to activate the Meridian Reforging Technique.
