"Am I Qi Wuxiang?"
Qin Shi's head felt like it had been struck by a giant hammer, buzzing loudly.
His Sea of Consciousness trembled, his spirit seemed filled with thunder, exploding with a roar!
Old He's methods were indeed unfathomable, absurdly powerful!
He hardly gave Qin Shi any chance to resist.
Manifestation, in the ancient empire of old, was already akin to legend, a level comparable to residing immortal Buddhas.
In a single thought, it could change the skies, manipulate nature, thoughts so vast they enveloped half the planet, and even traveled into space by starlight projection, crossing light years.
This is akin to the "True Immortals" in the tales of gods and monsters.
Such overwhelming spiritual will entirely surpasses the imagination limits of ordinary mortals.
Once gathered into form and descending, it truly feels like the so-called heavenly pressure, causing all living beings to tremble in fear.
Therefore, when Qin Shi truly felt that pressing spiritual overwhelming him, he felt incredibly suffocated, as if facing an infinitely long, infinitely wide high wall.
Difficult to overcome, impossible to cross.
"Is this Manifestation?"
Qin Shi marveled, shook.
Could such great power truly be cultivated within the human body?
His newly perfected Spiritual Holy Embryo was as tiny as a speck of dust.
While the white-haired figure was like a boundless Star Sea, covering him completely.
"Mental perception slow, stagnant, I'm beginning to feel sleepy."
Qin Shi carefully experienced the feeling of being "subdued" by the Manifestation.
Clearly a Spiritual Body, requiring no sleep, yet he felt his eyelids heavy as lead, a deep drowsiness engulfing him.
"Hypnosis... into my spiritual depths, making the brain relax and completely rest."
Qin Shi's Spiritual Body was descending, as if sinking into a soft and comfortable bed.
Even without the "subduing" of the Manifestation's spirituality, he himself no longer wanted to move his perception or focus his spirit.
Fortunately, he established an Inner Realm, with a super Little He as a safety measure, preventing complete loss of control.
"Old He's hypnosis is so powerful; maybe those street stories of adventuring single-handedly in the Imperial Capital, confronting the Nine Surnames, stirring up chaos, could be true."
Qin Shi pondered, observing.
He also wanted to know how Old He would shape himself into a "Qi Wuxiang."
"This kid, spirit pure, spirituality lively, but hasn't spent much time honing it, wasting potential."
The white-haired figure appeared relaxed; the Manifestation's great ability to hypnotize a youngster was like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
He once attempted to make an entire football stadium with tens of thousands of people fall asleep.
His peak achievement was calming the riots and boiling planetary will, pulling it back from the brink of destruction.
No matter how thick Qin Shi's potential, how high his talent.
How could it possibly compare to a colossal planet nurturing billions of lives, developing for billions of years!
"Since you can't learn from Qi Dog, then become Qi Dog."
The white-haired figure's solution was simple: hypnotize Qin Shi into "Qi Wuxiang," fully experiencing that invincible aura.
"The Only Great Way of the Ages" was accomplished!
Back when he was cultivating, developing Life Force, he learned from the Hundred Meridians, pondering this trick named "Inviting the Divine."
"What a pity. The Imperial Capital Museum refused to lend Ning Yuanhai's scriptures to me; otherwise, I'd first Invite the Divine Ning Yuanhai, then explore and Invite the Divine Yan Haishan.
Perhaps this Martial God Road would be opened."
The white-haired figure regretted slightly; not every sect was open and generous, willing to let invite the Divine for learning.
Of course, it could also be because He Lanchan occasionally got too immersed in character; after inviting a Divine Ancestor, he couldn't help but curse his disciples for being unmotivated and enforce "family discipline."
Not only did he beat those sect leaders black and blue, but he also left their dignity in tatters.
Afterward, whenever they met He Lanchan again, they were eager to avoid him, treating him as a plague to skirt around.
"That Qi Dog's style, thinking himself the greatest under heaven, I understand well."
The white-haired figure activated the Manifestation's spirituality, beginning to construct a "second personality" for Qin Shi, fabricating Qi Wuxiang!
...
...
In the medical room, Qin Shi, who had been brought here, had various sensing instruments attached to the surface of his body.
Fu Lei was pulled over by Song Xing, while Gao Pao and Zhao Su guarded the door, several pairs of eyes staring at the doctor.
"The situation is a bit strange, hard to judge."
The middle-aged male doctor in a white coat hesitated; the data fluctuations shown by the instruments were very strange and highly illogical.
"A few minutes ago, this young Qin's heart stopped beating; he was just like... dead, showing no signs of life, then quickly revived again.
But shortly afterward, his heart stopped again.
This repeated several times."
The middle-aged male doctor was starting to get frantic; had it been anyone else, a stopped heart meant using a pacemaker for emergency resuscitation.
But Qin Shi seemed to be doing sit-ups in a coffin, tossing his condition back and forth.
Leaving the middle-aged male doctor unsure of what to do.
"His heart stopped?"
Fu Lei, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, frowned, could it be that young Qin was being beaten by two Martial Gods, already on his last legs?
"Look at what you've done!"
Song Xing couldn't sit still; turning his head, he was about to call and contact the military hospital in White Poplar Barrier City to send the top director over.
"If something happens to young Qin, can the Huangquan Training Camp still retain its reputation? Old Fu, you've been reckless!"
Fu Lei felt as if he had a toothache, raising his hand to rub his cheek, with Old Song giving him a scolding, he didn't dare talk back, inwardly thinking:
"It shouldn't be! Although the crystal's 'trial' is indeed dangerous, young Qin has displayed Life Force density and purity that can fully endure..."
Before Song Xing could pick up the phone, the middle-aged male doctor delivered more bad news:
"Bad! Not only did his heart stop, but his vital signs vanished too, lasting for two minutes now without any signs of recovery!"
Guarding the door, Gao Pao and Zhao Su's expressions changed drastically upon hearing the news; they never imagined that robust Qin had unexpectedly died in such a way!
"Doctor, what do you mean by that?"
Song Xing's forehead sweated, feeling a bit at a loss.
"This condition is medically defined as... 'vegetative state.'
The middle-aged doctor shook his head, as if delivering a prognosis of imminent danger, indicating that Qin Shi was beyond saving.
"Vegetative state?"
Fu Lei couldn't hold it any longer; he rushed to the bedside, pressing Qin Shi's chest.
Not only had the heartbeat stopped, but the breath was gone too.
Even the Life Force that should have been surging was silent, with no discernible fluctuations!
Qin Shi was like a cold, lifeless space meteorite, quietly lying in the dark universe.
"Give me the phone! There's a big shot from the Spiritual Ability System at the military hospital, specializing in treating all kinds of spiritual issues!"
Fu Lei couldn't sit still; he grabbed the phone from deputy Song Xing's hand, ready to use his network for an urgent rescue.
Qin Shi's Life Energy Level shouldn't have resulted in immediate death.
Resource willingness might just be able to pull him back from death's door.
"Now you're anxious! Where were you before!"
Song Xing, still simmering with anger, handed over the phone nonetheless.
Out of the Yellow Spring Training Camp finally emerged a promising talent, no one wanted to see it end this way.
But before Fu Lei could make the call, the guard reached out from the duty room.
Fu Lei, still in a state of fury, shouted:
"What's going on? Is there anything extremely urgent necessitating contact with me!"
"Reporting to the instructor, the chief from White Poplar has come for inspection..."
The guard soldier said sulkily.
His words felt like a cold shower pouring from head to toe.
Instantly snapping Fu Lei and Song Xing into clarity, followed by chills rushing over.
White Poplar's chief came for someone, and everyone knew who.
But...
Fu Lei and Song Xing looked at Qin Shi, lying on the bed, as if in Deep Sleep, unable to be awakened.
The atmosphere in the infirmary instantly became silent.
"Instructor, are you listening?"
Not knowing the details, the guard soldier kept questioning.
"The chief's convoy is almost at the gate, should we prepare to welcome them?"
...
...
Residual image crystal, spiritual world.
Qin Shi fell into unprecedented deep sleep, near-death stillness.
Normal people, no matter how deep in sleep, their thoughts remain active, albeit in the subconscious.
But after being hypnotized, Qin Shi's deepest thoughts stopped, each idea frozen in place.
Only the Inner World could still reflect and operate snippets of spiritual light beneath him.
"Old He's spiritual power is indeed absurdly forceful; anyone less than his level is readily manipulated and transformed."
Inside the Inner Realm, Qin Shi observed Old He conjuring a second personality, implanting various behaviors and mannerisms of Qi Wuxiang.
During this process, Old He seemed consumed quite a bit.
That proud white-haired figure appeared vaguely dim, losing its celestial brilliance.
"It seems something is gestating, Old He's divine plea is indeed incredible."
The spiritual world lacks the concept of time, unknown how much has passed; a cocoon-like seed emerged in the silent Sea of Consciousness akin to death.
Qin Shi observed seriously, sensing extraordinary vibrations within.
As if there was truly life nurturing, ready to break out at the next moment.
"It's done."
The white-haired figure felt satisfied, a sense of accomplishment.
"This 'Qin Wuxiang' is essentially a replica of Qi you-know-who, your face will spell 'invincible.'
Once you forge an invincible heart, 'Thousand Years Only Path' will face no obstacles!"
Qin Shi felt fervor; though Old He dug many pits, he was indeed dependable at critical times.
"Having slept enough, it's time to wake."'
The white-haired figure snapped fingers, as if pressing a switch.
With the Spiritual Body in complete stillness, Qin Shi opened his eyes.
Like waking from a great dream.
At the same moment.
The seed enclosed like a white cocoon in the Sea of Consciousness broke apart!
The spirited second personality erupted into vast information, flowing into the Spiritual Body, absorbed and processed by Qin Shi.
"Wondering how effective it is?"
Sitting in the void, the white-haired figure anticipated as the method of using hypnosis to foster a second personality was rare to him.
This craft was learned from a teacher during journeys in the Star Sea, hardly ever used.
The figure lifted eyes, gazing at "Qin Shi" opposite.
The latter opened his eyes deeply, as unfathomable as dark ink.
"Kid..."
"Old bastard!"
Qin Shi coldly responded.
"Who allowed you to hypnotize me? Seems like you've lived too long, walking on the path of destruction!"
The white-haired figure's visage briefly stiffened, then nodded.
That's precisely the flavor!
Without further comment, he lifted a hand, slapping "Qin Shi" deep into the Sea of Consciousness.
"Time to join Qi's mimicry contest."
