What If I Can't Die?-Novel

Chapter 682 Reconstructing the Physical Body (1)

Under the Cao family's grateful and respectful gaze, Song Shi returned to the side courtyard he was originally in.

In the next moment, a powerful suction force appeared on his body and began to crazily absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy. The range was a hundred times that of the Connate realm.

The thin Spiritual Qi in the surroundings gathered in Song Shi's body and was quickly absorbed and refined.

"The Spiritual Qi is starting to run out."

Song Shi frowned. The automatic cultivation system was already very perfect and had been upgraded with his cultivation level. However, he still had to rely on the Spiritual Qi of the outside world. This was the basic resource for cultivation.

Now, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the mortal world was a little thin to him. It had already affected his normal cultivation speed.

"There are three choices. I can enter the deep mountains and forests to set up a Spirit Gathering Array to gather Spiritual Qi in a larger area. The second choice is to join a cultivation sect and recommend it to a place with abundant Spiritual Qi. The third choice is to kill and rob to snatch cultivation resources."

Song Shi thought that he still had to protect Chen Ziqi for a year and it was not suitable for him to run around. There was probably only a third method that was suitable for him.

He raised his hand and a leather bag appeared. This was the storage bag of the gray-robed woman and the only spoils of war he had taken.

After opening it, he took out some things. There were cultivation technique manuals, methods to raise ghosts and refine ghosts, a few bottles of medicinal pills, and jade stones with a faint luster.

"These inferior spirit stones and medicinal pills can only be used for a few days…"

Song Shi took out the spirit stones to cultivate.

The next day, Cao Zongwan personally brought Cao Wenhong and Chen Ziqi to visit. He thanked Song Shi for his help last night and offered a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Song Shi did not stand on ceremony. Although he was helping Chen Ziqi, the Cao family was the direct beneficiary.

Seeing Song Shi accept the thank-you gift, Cao Zongwan smiled brightly. "Senior Song, I was blind previously and didn't see that you're a grandmaster-level cultivator. It's really rude of me to call you brother."

Song Shi said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. Which sect was that person from last night?"

"Black Fiend Sect, I once had some grudges with her. I didn't expect her to be so vengeful."

Cao Zongwan smiled bitterly.

"I'm not interested in your matters. Tell me about the nearby factions in Jiangnan."

Song Shi had to consider his future cultivation. Before he controlled the rules or caught a loophole in the rules, he still needed cultivation resources.

"There are three major sects in Jiangnan. One is the Crimson Sword Sect, which I once apprenticed to. The other is the Buddhist True Lotus Temple. The last one is the Black Fiend Sect, which is the sect of the people who were killed by Senior. Among them, the Black Fiend Sect is the strongest."

Cao Zongwan introduced, "There's a Black Wind Sect in the Black Wind Mountain near Jiangnan. It's rumored that it's related to the Black Fiend Sect. Then, there's the True Martial Sect in the north. It's a large sect and its strength surpasses the Jiangnan and Jiangbei regions."

When Song Shi heard this, he looked at Cao Zongwan meaningfully. "I have a grudge with the Black Fiend and Black Wind. Do you think they will come to take revenge?"

"I don't think so. It's just an ordinary disciple."

Cao Zongwan shook his head, "To these sects, ordinary Connate experts are nothing. A Grandmaster like Senior is precious."

Song Shi hoped that those guys would come over, so he could not be bothered to look for them. He still had a legitimate reason to kill them.

"Then there shouldn't be anything else."

Song Shi looked at Chen Ziqi. "When will your wedding be held? If you don't hold it soon, your belly will rise."

"Ah."

Chen Ziqi was stunned for a moment. Cao Wenhong, who was beside her, was pleasantly surprised. "Madam, you're pregnant!"

Cao Zongwan said in admiration, "Senior is really an expert. We didn't even notice."

"I didn't notice it myself."

Chen Ziqi subconsciously touched her belly. No wonder she had not had her period recently.

"Let's hold the wedding as soon as possible. When the time comes, my Cao family will have completely washed away the bad luck of the past month!"

Cao Wenhong made a prompt decision. "Senior Song, you must participate when the time comes."

"That's fine."

After saying that, Song Shi sent the guests off. After the few of them left, Song Shi thought of the child in Wuyou's womb. He did not know how it was now. It should have already taken shape.

This concern made him feel more motivated. He looked at the sky and pondered.

"If I continue to rely on cultivation resources, it won't last long. Can I not rely on such conventional methods?"

Song Shi touched his chin. He did not think that these cultivation resources such as Spiritual Qi were real. They were most likely illusions that had been conjured or even a string of special numbers.

He increasingly suspected that the entire world was a very well-developed illusion. Everything was fake, except for these living beings.

"Living beings have autonomy and won't strictly follow the procedure. Only then will it be like a real world and not an old-fashioned program that determines the beginning and outcome."

Song Shi raised his hand and sensed the Rule Force that should exist everywhere. Then, he looked down at himself.

"My body and cultivation shouldn't be real. They're evolved from laws."

His gaze shifted as he recalled that after he reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, the Laws had transformed into a domain. Within the domain, the Laws could change at will.

However, he was still far from evolving such a world. Even a quasi-Celestial Venerable like Wuyou could not do it. He reckoned that only Celestial Venerables could do it.

"In other words, the essence of the Celestial Venerable Realm is that Laws can evolve worlds. Celestial Venerable Reincarnation evolved tens of thousands of worlds. As expected of the top Celestial Venerable."

Song Shi comprehended many things again. He closed his eyes and began to search for the rules that could determine his body and cultivation.

Time passed. A week later, Chen Ziqi held her wedding and officially married into the Cao family to obtain status.

Song Shi was a distinguished guest at the wedding. What puzzled him was that no one from the Chen family came. They had probably undergone a ceremony at the Chen family and did not have to come here anymore.

After it ended, Song Shi remained in seclusion and was not in a hurry to find cultivation resources.

However, he had one more thing to do in secret.

That was to observe Chen Ziqi. To be precise, he was observing the process of her accumulating life.

This was a complicated and mysterious process that involved the growth of the physical body. As for the souls, they were all formed by the reincarnation souls.

Celestial Venerable Reincarnation used this method to create living beings. It could not compare to the true corporeal bodies and souls of the outside world that were completely innate, but it was also very easy to replicate the process of the birth of true living beings. It contained profound rules.

He believed that he could find something he needed from it.

As time passed, Chen Ziqi's belly became bigger and bigger. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a son.

The moment this child was born, Song Shi clearly felt the power of reincarnation. A soul was injected into this young body, losing all its memories and starting over.

Song Shi fell into deep thought. He began to enter seclusion to crack the first rule.

For a consecutive month, Song Shi did not move. After reaching a certain point, Song Shi's body suddenly trembled. His body suddenly became hot and emitted wisps of light. His muscles quickly squirmed as if he had been reborn and became stronger out of thin air.

"Success. I used the rules to reconstruct my body and directly raised my physical body's level by a large margin. I didn't use any cultivation resources at all."
