Jiang Li looked at the interface and understood in his heart.
He had just tried the Heart Sutra, so how could he be like the ancient mighty figures who could split their consciousness into three thousand incarnations?

It was only because of his high compatibility with the Heart Sutra that he was able to successfully circulate it in one go.
This was already extremely fortunate.

However, it turned out that the parallel mind created from successfully circulating the ‘Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra’ could only last for one day.

Jiang Li did not directly start modifying the duration.
Instead, he turned to study the new skill, “Mayfly’s Dream”, that appeared along with “Parallel Mind”.

As the saying goes, a mayfly lives and dies quickly.

This skill was specially created to complement the parallel mind.

After using this skill, it would turn dim on Jiang Li’s interface, and it would generate a status that could only exist for 24 hours, “Mayfly’s Dream”.

Only until the next time when the parallel mind was on standby with the main body that this complementary skill would light up again.

This was the method to throw the split part of Jiang Li’s consciousness into other objects.

Jiang Li took out the coffin in his arms and hesitated for a moment before putting it back.

There was no hurry to cultivate the sword cultivator zombie puppet.

Jiang Li was rather curious now.
How did it feel to use the Mayfly’s Dream skill normally?

…

The sun set in the west.
Jiang Li left the small courtyard and walked out of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, heading straight for the adjacent Rejuvenation Hall.

Unlike the rough men of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, the female cultivators of the Rejuvenation Hall were quite relaxed when cultivating.
They were good at singing and dancing.

What Jiang Li wanted was the jade-green lotus pond in their territory.

It was midsummer.
Jiang Li walked to the side of the lotus pond.
In the quiet night sky, insects sang merrily.

Jiang Li stood beside the pool for a while and admired the thriving vitality of the pool for a moment.
He seemed to have thought of something and turned around to leave hurriedly.

However, no one knew that in the moment that he stopped, the parallel mind had already silently fallen into the pool.

At the same time, at the bottom of the pond, a strong, healthy larva, after years of growth, made all the preparations and was furiously crawling out of its hiding place.

In the green pond water, a young larva twisted its body and stirred the water, slowly appearing on the surface of the water.

However, not long after it crawled out of the mud, a beautiful golden-spotted spirit carp swam towards it.

In this lotus pond, there was also a group of spiritual fish that were more interesting to look at than to eat.

Just as the mayfly larva felt that it was unlucky and was about to die before it could succeed, the spiritual fish did not even look at it.
It swayed its fat body and swam far away.

It seemed that the senior sisters of the Rejuvenation Hall were overflowing with love and fed this group of spiritual fish too much fish food every day, causing them to be too full and ignore the larvae in the water.

The larva’s swimming ability was average.
It took a lot of effort before it finally floated to the surface.

However, when the feelers above its head touched the air, all its exhaustion was swept away.

A strong desire drove it to get out of the water.

Jiang Li originally wanted to resist that instinct and see what would happen, but he recalled the contents of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra.
The key to this cultivation method was to comprehend the process, not to stir up trouble.

Thus, he gave up on such meaningless thoughts and did not think in his own way.
Instead, he followed his instincts.

The insect waved its small feet and climbed onto the stem of a lotus flower.
It moved its legs and slowly moved its body up, finally breaking through the water membrane and completely exposed itself to the air.

At this moment, the sun had already completely set in the west.
Only then did the fragile body of the larva not dry up from the scorching sun.

A warm, moist summer breeze gently blew past.
The larva felt a sense of suffocation.
The air without water made it impossible for it to breathe.

However, its instincts made it hold on to the stem tightly and not fall back into the water.

After a wave of suffocation, Jiang Li quickly felt that the discomfort was disappearing, and what appeared instead was the stiffness of his entire body.

His shell was hardening in the air, soon becoming a hard shell that completely enveloped him.

Then, he felt a warm itch inside the body.
This feeling made him feel drowsy.

Jiang Li did not resist and really fell asleep just like that.

In the glory of the summer night, a mayfly was quietly transforming on the stem of a lotus flower.

After an unknown period of time, Jiang Li felt a suffocating feeling that was present everywhere, and it caused him to wake up from his slumber.

The shell on the outside seemed to be too small.
It was the shell that pressed down on him until he could not breathe.

Jiang Li wanted to escape from the restrictions, but he instinctively pushed himself forward.
He wanted to bite through the membrane in front of him, but he discovered that his mouth had already disappeared.

Helpless, he could only struggle with all his might.
Soon, a hole appeared in the old shell above his head.

Jiang Li squeezed his body out of the small hole bit by bit.

He could sense that his strength far surpassed that of his young self.

His body and older parts separated from him bit by bit.
Jiang Li took the opportunity to exert force, and his entire body escaped from the old shell.

A pair of beautiful insect wings unfolded, and a pair of long tails swayed with the wind, looking like an elf spirit in his dreams.

This was an insignificant insect, an ancient winged mayfly.

Under the summer wind, his insect wings kept spreading out and becoming stronger.
When the first rays of sunlight shone, he was about to spread his wings and fly.

The current Jiang Li had no mouth.
He could not eat, but his thin body seemed to be bursting with infinite vitality in the wind.

Finally, the morning light tore through the sky, and a gentle and warm glow scattered towards the pond.
Jiang Li discovered that the lotus leaves on the rocks around him had already been filled with mayflies like himself.

At this moment, the morning light was like a signal.
The mayflies in the sky danced in groups and shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

Seeing the swarm of female mayflies, Jiang Li… no, the mayfly could not hold it in any longer.
It flapped its wings and rose into the air.

However, for the ancient winged mayflies, there were far more females than males.

As soon as this mayfly flew up, it was pursued by hundreds of female mayflies who danced around it.

One female after another came up to rub their heads against it.
The mayfly followed its instincts and released everything that it had accumulated over the past six years.

Just like that, it had the greatest day of its life.

It was as if the ancient winged mayfly had spent its entire life preparing for this one day.

The mayflies’ wild dance continued under the sun for an entire day.
No one knew how their tiny bodies contained so much energy.

It was not until dusk that the mayfly finally stopped its wild dance and landed on a lotus leaf in exhaustion.

The interior of his carapace was already empty.
It had used up everything on this day.

Having completed the mission of reproduction, the meaning of its entire life was fulfilled.

The mayfly quietly lay on the lotus leaf, and the glow on the insect gradually disappeared.

In the last light of its beady eyes, it saw yet another, vigorous larva emerging from the water.
