  Ye Qing, 22 years old, is an ordinary student in the medical school of a second-tier university. Ye Qing doesn't have any special hobbies, just likes to read, especially Hong Huang.

  Two years ago, Ye Qing was obsessed with it and found a ordinary cultivation method online. The reason for choosing it is very simple, because the technique is very simple, and you don't need to meditate, just sleep in bed can cultivate, Ye Qing called it Jing Xin Jue.

  From two years ago, Ye Qing has been practicing every night before bed. For two years, Ye Qing has persisted and never given up. Although Ye Qing had thought about giving up on practicing, the habit of cultivating the stillness technique had already formed, making it impossible to give up. And so, Ye Qing continued to practice for two years.

  Tonight, Ye Qing finished reading the latest update of a novel and went to bed. As he lay in bed, he slowly began to practice his meditation technique, imagining the flow of air starting from his brow point, passing through the nine orifices in his brain, and then slowly returning to his brow point. He repeated this cycle several times. On the ninth cycle, Ye Qing felt a faint cool breeze emanating from his brow point. As the cool breeze flowed over him, he felt waves of refreshment wash over him. After one full cycle, Ye Qing felt that his mind had become much clearer.

  If it wasn't already too late, Ye Qing would have jumped up with excitement. He suppressed the thrill in his heart and calmed down, repeatedly using the Quiet Mind Technique until dawn. By then, his aura had expanded by a large margin. When Ye Qing opened his eyes, he found that the scene before him was much more vivid than before, and his originally 400-degree nearsighted vision had improved. He could even see ants clearly from ten meters away, and his senses were much sharper than before. What made Ye Qing most excited was that his memory had significantly improved - everything he saw earlier was etched in his mind, without any signs of forgetting. Things like English and medicine, which used to be difficult for him, now seemed effortless.

  Next, Ye Qing decided to read all the medical books and ancient books in the library. Ye Qing spent almost three days reading in the library every day.

  The month's time was enough for Ye Qing to finish reading all the medical books and ancient books in the library. After finishing so many books, Ye Qing discovered that the wisdom of the ancients was really immeasurable. In these three months, Ye Qing's quiet heart skill had made great progress, and the cool air flow had increased by nearly ten times compared to when he started. Moreover, Ye Qing also knew what the cool air flow was - it was what people commonly referred to as spiritual power.

  Now Ye Qing could achieve the legendary inner vision. At first, Ye Qing really took a leap, his body's blood vessels and tiny meridians were intertwined, through the ability of inner vision, Ye Qing grasped most of the content of the medical books. Ye Qing also discovered some errors in medicine. Now Ye Qing's medical skills could be said to be the best in the world without exaggeration. Those cancers and other diseases could also be cured with Ye Qing's current technology.

  However, Ye Qing did not want to show off, he just wanted to understand the secrets of the human body, and develop the powerful forces within it.

  From then on, Ye Qing continued to study the secrets of the human body. Through continuous searching, Ye Qing discovered that ancient immortals should have existed and were formed through the continuous cultivation and evolution of ancient people. Ye Qing believed that a major event must have occurred in ancient times, leading to the constant loss of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making it impossible for people to cultivate now. However, Ye Qing believed that the human body itself was a treasure trove, which could be continuously evolved to possess immense power through continuous evolution.

  After years of research and exploration on the human body, Ye Qing finally created an evolving technique called "Evolutionary Key". The Evolutionary Key did not require spiritual energy from heaven and earth for cultivation; any form of energy would suffice. Energy was abundant everywhere in the world, satisfying the requirements of the Evolutionary Key. The Evolutionary Key was a continuous evolution and strengthening of the human body, consisting of nine layers, each with a difference as vast as that between heaven and earth.

  The "Still Heart Technique" was also modified by Ye Qing, making it even more mysterious. For years, Ye Qing had not stopped cultivating the Still Heart Technique and had opened up most of the meridians in his brain. Now, Ye Qing's spiritual power was a thousand times stronger than before. The Evolutionary Key had been cultivated to the third layer by Ye Qing, who had undergone a transformation each time he advanced to a new layer, with his power increasing geometrically after each transformation. Now, Ye Qing could easily lift stone weights of over 10,000 pounds.

  Today is the day Ye Qing leaves university, these years Ye Qing has been immersed in research on the human body, those courses almost didn't attend, just went to take exams, if it wasn't for Ye Qing's grades always being first, the school would have expelled him long ago, Ye Qing is a madman in his classmates' eyes, today is Ye Qing's day of leaving school, not one classmate in school knows, Ye Qing silently leaves alone.

  Ye Qing is the eldest at home, with a younger brother and sister. Ye Qing returned home and quietly spent half a month there before preparing to go out and take a look around. Ye Qing bid farewell to his parents and arrived at Mount Hua.

  Mount Hua has been known for its steep and narrow paths since ancient times. It is one of the five sacred mountains in China, with a height of 2154.9 meters above sea level, located in Huayin County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, 120 kilometers east of Xi'an. To the north lies the vast Weihe Plain and the Yellow River, while to the south is the Qinling Mountains. The mountain is a granite peak on the northern side of the Qinling branch, which divides the water.

  With the help of nature's ever-changing scenery, Mount Hua's diverse landscapes are vividly depicted. The temples, pavilions, and kiosks on the mountain were built according to the terrain, with one mountain standing tall, like a palace in the sky. The ancient cypress trees add to its uniqueness.

  The peaks are beautiful and varied in shape, resembling scenes such as Han Xiangzi driving cattle, Jin Chan playing with a turtle, and White Snake suffering... The gentle streams of the valley and the waterfalls of the mountain gorges are also full of interest.

  Moreover, Mount Hua stands tall on the Weihe Plain, with its three peaks rising from the ground like knives cutting through the air. As Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Jiao wrote in his poem: "Who will use a heavenly sword to carve out a peak that leans against the sky?" This is indeed a description of Mount Hua's steep and towering landscape.

  The height difference between the mountain and the Weihe Plain below is over 1700 meters, with the plain at an elevation of only 330-400 meters. The majestic scenery of the mountain is even more striking. Ye Qing was deeply moved by its grandeur and became infatuated with it, even planning to hike through Mount Hua on foot.

  When Ye Qing arrived at the mountain top, the good weather suddenly changed. The sky was covered with thick black clouds like ink, and purple electric currents flashed through them from time to time. Ye Qing found that the energy around him had become much more active, accelerating the evolution of his body's cells. He quickly sat down and started operating the evolution technique, absorbing the massive power that was being released. The external energy was constantly being refined in his body, absorbed by his cells, which were constantly breaking apart and splitting again, slowly becoming stronger.

  Ye Qing was immersed in the evolution technique, unaware of the danger he was in. The massive energy in the sky was constantly being attracted to him, and the purple electric currents flashed continuously. If even a single thread of this energy were to be released, Ye Qing would be torn apart.

  Ye Qing continued to operate the evolution technique, absorbing the massive energy into his body. His cells were constantly being crushed and then splitting again into stronger ones. With a loud rumble, a thread of energy broke out from within him and entered an unfamiliar meridian. Ye Qing had finally reached the fourth level of the evolution technique, and his power increased exponentially.

  Ye Qing clenched his fist, feeling the massive power contained within his body. He unconsciously released a massive aura, which disrupted the balance of the huge energy in the sky. The massive power exploded, with Ye Qing at its center. He was immediately knocked unconscious and sucked into a spatial rift. If not for his strong physique, he would have died from the start.

  (Note: I've kept the translation as close to the original text as possible, but some minor adjustments were made for better readability.)

  A massive force shattered the space, creating a three-meter rift. The moment the void stopped expanding, it suddenly produced a powerful suction that pulled in Ye Qing, who had fainted, along with all the loose objects around him. After Ye Qing was sucked in, the void began to shrink and quickly disappeared into the sky, leaving behind a desolate landscape ravaged by purple lightning.

  Yeqing, who had fainted, and the thing that was sucked into the void with him were constantly being destroyed by the massive spatial energy inside the void. When Yeqing's body was being eroded by the spatial energy, he was awakened by the intense pain. He felt severe pain all over his body, as if it was being pierced by countless needles, and his body was unresponsive, unable to move.

  At this moment, Ye Qing's heart was filled with endless pain and fear. On one hand, his body was suffering, and on the other hand, he saw that the stones and other objects (that had been sucked into the void with him) were being constantly destroyed by the white spatial energy until they became nothingness. Ye Qing was also enduring this energy's invasion, watching as his limbs slowly disintegrated, feeling his eyes shatter and become nothingness, and his torso began to collapse. Unable to move, he could only endure, even wanting to faint had become a luxury. Even Ye Qing's frantic use of the Evolution Technique couldn't resist the spatial energy's erosion.

  At this time, Ye Qing felt that his head was aching badly, as if there was a mixer that was fiercely mixing his brain, and every time Ye Qing was constantly eroded by the spatial energy, his head would ache even more. He vaguely felt that his headache might be related to these spatial energies.
