Chapter 1238
Comprehending Yuan Qi, Battle from Beyond the Heavens
In the cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains, there is "Qingyun Mountain".
Located in a cave on the west side of the mountaintop, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe is sitting at a stone table.
Not far in front of the man in black, a semi-transparent blue ball of light floated in mid-air, and below it, a magic circle emitting spiritual light slowly operated.
Suddenly, a slight fluctuation was heard from the barrier at the entrance, and soon a figure in cyan entered the stone chamber.
The newcomer walked up to "Qu Bai" and quickly took out a "storage bag" from his body.
"Here are the materials you requested, along with a ghost pill he asked me to give you earlier."
"Why is it a ghost pill for the early Nascent Soul stage? Where is the ghost pill for the peak Nascent Soul stage?"
Hearing Qu Bai's somewhat surprised question, the man in blue quickly shook his head and replied, "I don't know where that ghost pill went either. The master didn't tell me about this, he only told me this."
"Hmph! I know even if you don't tell me, he probably took it and gave it to some woman."
This kid, besides cultivating, is quite good at pleasing people, and he's even so attentive to his Daoist partner.
He came to me specifically to ask about the secrets of crafting puppets, and I thought he wanted to craft a late-stage Nascent Soul puppet for himself.
Unexpectedly, he was quite generous, actually giving away such a nice thing to someone else.
The so-called dual cultivation partners are nothing more than a moment of pleasure compared to the long path of cultivation.
Little did he know that these things would eventually become his burdens.
Why dwell on this and only add to your troubles!
Having said that, Qu Bai sighed slightly and put away the storage bag in his hand.
The man in blue standing opposite remained motionless upon hearing this, his expression still calm, and he did not respond.
"Since you're here, he probably hasn't come out of seclusion yet. This seclusion has lasted quite a long time. I wonder if he's made any progress."
".
Inside the secluded stone chamber, Song Qingming sat cross-legged alone on the "Mysterious Jade Bed".
Not far in front of him, a triangular magic circle slowly operated, helping him to accelerate the flow of magic power within his body, constantly traversing his physical body and the surroundings of the cave.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but suddenly a breeze blows through the cave, and a white light shines all around, as if countless stars have lit up the entire cave.
After the white star appeared, it began to dart around the cave, constantly circling around Song Qingming.
Even with his eyes closed, he sensed a faint, familiar presence.
Song Qingming raised his hand and quickly cast a spell, pushing his magical power to its limit and rapidly merging it into the white star in front of him.
The next moment, the "white stars" that were originally extremely restless in the cave slowly calmed down and fell onto him under the guidance of Song Qingming's magic power.
Once these "white stars" disappeared, a faint white light appeared on Song Qingming's body, slowly circulating around him.
The white light was crystal clear, and when it was in motion, it was mixed with a huge spiritual power, which was clearly different from the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.
Even with his eyes still closed, Song Qingming felt the powerful aura contained within the white light in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and excitement.
"This is the primordial energy of heaven and earth; it is truly mysterious and profound."
In terms of both power and quantity, this primordial energy of heaven and earth is far easier to mobilize and use than ordinary spiritual energy.
No wonder those Nascent Soul cultivators can unleash such powerful divine abilities; just by mobilizing the primordial energy of heaven and earth for their own use, their internal magical power is far beyond that of Nascent Soul cultivators.
Fortunately, I had the treasure, the Jade Bed, which helped me to sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth much earlier than expected.
Otherwise, it might take several more decades.
Long before the "monster turmoil", Song Qingming's cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.
After entering the final stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the cultivator's internal magical power is already close to perfection.
If Song Qingming wants to continue to improve his cultivation, he must begin to go into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and try to comprehend a higher level of "Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi".
Comprehending the "primordial energy of heaven and earth" is the simplest of the three stages of the Divine Transformation.
With diligent cultivation, most cultivators who reach the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage can successfully comprehend the primordial energy and thus pass this hurdle.
However, this stage requires a great deal of personal comprehension and a solid foundation in one's own cultivation.
Zhao Wuling, who was once known as the number one expert of the "Floating Cloud Mountain Range", spent more than a hundred years to achieve any success in comprehending the "primordial energy of heaven and earth".
However, there are those like Chen Qingxuan, the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the "Heavenly Imperial Sect," who are one in ten thousand and have extremely strong insights into cultivation.
When Chen Qingxuan was in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, it only took him a little over ten years to easily comprehend the "primordial energy of heaven and earth" and make it his own.
The difference is significant.
After Song Qingming advanced to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he secluded himself on the mountaintop for more than 30 years. In addition to cultivating his own "Tongtian Wanling Jue" skill, he also spent a lot of time comprehending the "Qi of Heaven and Earth".
Unfortunately, after spending more than 30 years, Song Qingming still gained nothing and failed to perceive even a trace of "the primordial energy of heaven and earth".
Twenty years ago, Song Qingming, who was invited by Long Ziyun of the "Four Seas Business Alliance" to help out in the outer sea, accidentally found a treasure called "Mysterious Jade Bed".
After obtaining this treasure that can help cultivators increase their cultivation speed, he has been using it to cultivate in seclusion for many years, attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Finally, after twenty years, Song Qingming successfully comprehended a trace of "the primordial energy of heaven and earth".
At this moment, he felt the rich spiritual energy around him, and his heart was filled with excitement.
It has only been less than sixty years since I advanced to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and I have already successfully comprehended the "primordial energy of heaven and earth" and passed the first hurdle in my attempt to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.
Such speed, though still far from comparable to a once-in-a-millennium genius like Chen Qingxuan.
However, compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators who are trying to break through to the Divine Transformation realm, Song Qingming is definitely superior to most cultivators in the cultivation world in this regard, saving nearly half the time compared to Zhao Wuling back then.
Song Qingming's achievements are due to his continuous research and practice of various martial arts over the years, as well as his excellent comprehension.
The treasure he had previously acquired, the "Mysterious Jade Bed," had also been of great help to him during his years of seclusion.
If it weren't for this item assisting cultivators in absorbing spiritual energy and "heaven and earth primordial energy," Song Qingming in his heart probably wouldn't have been able to easily overcome this hurdle.
Having successfully comprehended the "primordial energy of heaven and earth," Song Qingming, who had been in seclusion for a long time, did not rush to get up and come out of seclusion. Instead, he quickly began to familiarize himself with this newly acquired power.
After comprehending the "primordial energy of heaven and earth," cultivators can draw upon it for their own use, and their own magical power will also increase significantly.
Although it only increases the amount of magical power, it does not significantly improve the cultivator's own supernatural abilities and is far inferior to a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator who has already "tempered his body with primordial energy".
However, for Song Qingming, whose supernatural abilities were already no weaker than those of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, this small step forward had a far greater impact on him than on others.
As long as one's own magical power is sufficient, one will not be at a disadvantage compared to other half-step Nascent Soul cultivators.
If he encounters Qi Guangchun or "Tianwei Demon Emperor" again in the future, who are relatively weak opponents at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, Song Qingming should be confident that he can defeat them quickly and directly.
It won't be like before, where we could only engage in a protracted and arduous battle with the enemy, and were completely powerless to capture our opponents.
".
Nine heavens above, near the "extraterrestrial fetal membranes".
As a deafening roar quickly dissipated, a black streak of light suddenly shot out from the center of the battlefield and hovered in mid-air.
In front of the dark figure stood a cyan short sword, emanating sharp spiritual energy that enveloped the entire battlefield.
As soon as the spiritual light in the center of the battlefield dissipated, two figures, one old and one young, slowly appeared, their eyes fixed on the dark figure in the distance.
At this moment, Yang Baixuan had opened his folding fan, and several cracks appeared on it, indicating that the treasure had suffered considerable damage in the battle just now.
Meanwhile, the "White Bone Demon" on the side had lost one of his arms, with only a small section of bone remaining on his shoulder.
It seemed that his hand had been forcibly torn off by some terrifying force, leaving him looking somewhat disheveled. As he looked at the dark figure, he also revealed a hint of fear.
In the air, far from the battlefield, the six people, led by the woman in white, kept casting spells to control the "silver ball of light" behind them, preventing it from moving even an inch.
Yang Baixuan glanced at the dark figure ahead, then turned to the "White Bone Demon" beside him and said:
"Brother White Bone, this guy is indeed not so easy to deal with. If we don't show our true skills today, we may miss this opportunity."
"Hmph! My lifespan is almost over, how can I miss this opportunity?"
Brother Yang, I don't think you need to keep anything from me anymore!
"Then let's make a move together!" Seeing that the "White Bone Demon" was staring intently at him, Yang Baixuan was also very clear that the other party had seen through his hidden cards.
Both were highly skilled demonic cultivators who had practiced for thousands of years, and they were extremely familiar with each other. It would be almost impossible for them to hide anything from each other.
Moreover, the dark figure in front of him was fighting two against one, yet still had the upper hand.
To defeat them, we cannot allow them to hold back any longer.
As soon as Yang Baixuan finished speaking, a white light flashed in front of him, and a silver-white flying sword appeared in mid-air.
"White Spirit Sword! Haha, after all these years, I still find it strange that your cultivation has not fully recovered. It turns out that you have actually integrated your natal spirit into this sword."
This magical artifact should now be almost as powerful as a mid-grade level five magical weapon!
"Last time, my physical body was destroyed, and my primordial spirit was also severely injured by Ling Xuzi's sword intent, so it is impossible for my cultivation to advance any further."
Instead of wasting time on this, it would be better to strengthen one's own supernatural abilities.
When Yang Baixuan mentioned that his physical body had been destroyed by "Ling Xuzi", he couldn't help but let out a deep breath, as if he still couldn't let go of what happened back then.
Seeing this, the "White Bone Demon" also showed a solemn expression and raised his hand to release bursts of black demonic energy.
The next moment, a huge ghostly figure hundreds of feet tall burst out of the air in front of the "White Bone Demon" and arrived beside him.
"Brother Bai, my Free Heavenly Demon has also devoured a lot of high-level blood food over the years, which has greatly improved its cultivation."
Although it's a possessed body, it won't affect my ability to use this divine power. Today is a good day to test its strength.
The demonic avatar summoned by the "White Bone Demon" possessed an aura no less powerful than that of the old demon himself, and in a short time, it added another Nascent Soul level combatant to their side.
The two men looked at the distant shadowy figure again, their eyes now filled with confidence.
Even when facing the two "White Bone Demons" whose strength had increased dramatically, the aura emanating from the black figure in mid-air did not change much.
They seemed to have no fear whatsoever of the powerful opponent before them.
"Since you've all shown your true abilities, I should show you some respect."
Today I will show you what true demonic powers are.
The dark figure raised its hand to put away the magical artifact in front of it, and suddenly bursts of black energy emanated from its body, gathering around it.
Although it appeared to be the same color as the black energy released by the "White Bone Demon" and his companion, the shadowy figure's supernatural power clearly contained a much stronger pressure, causing the two demons in the distance to become solemn.
"Such a dense aura of true demonic energy!"
Before the two "White Bone Demons" could make a move, the true demonic black energy in front of the black figure opposite them still transformed into two giant hands and pressed down on the battlefield.
Upon seeing this, the two demons also cast spells and used their supernatural powers to fight against him.
In the middle of the battlefield, powerful booming sounds soon rang out again.
".
After an unknown amount of time, the smoke and light dissipated.
On the battlefield, the body possessed by the "White Bone Demon" was severed at the waist by a sharp sword light, and the lower half of the person was nowhere to be found, leaving only half of the body.
The Free Demon it summoned has long since disappeared.
Not far away, Yang Baixuan was held in mid-air by a black claw controlled by the shadowy figure. His aura was firmly suppressed by the black claw, and he was unable to break free for a time.
"You... I never expected you to possess such extraordinary abilities. It is no wonder that we two have been defeated today."
"Hmph! You are nothing but spineless dogs, how dare you bark and howl!"
Having said that, the shadowy figure quickly cast a spell, conjuring another giant black hand that pressed down directly on the half-body left behind by the "White Bone Demon".
Even when they tried to escape using magic, they found that the surrounding space was instantly frozen by the other party.
The "White Bone Demon" could only watch helplessly as the black hand crushed the remaining half of its body, and even the part of its primordial spirit that remained in the possessing body was directly annihilated on the spot.
"what."
On an island some distance from the battlefield, the true form of the "White Bone Demon," who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and nearly collapsed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the disciples guarding the old demon immediately knelt down in astonishment.
"Master!"
"Not only did we lose a possessing spirit body for nothing, but even our primordial spirit couldn't escape! How despicable!"
The "White Bone Demon" raised his eyes and glared fiercely at the sky above, his eyes revealing a sense of indignation.
The next moment, his gaze immediately turned to the disciples beside him, whose faces showed a hint of worry.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. You may go now!"
"Liangwei, you stay here. Your master wants to pass on a skill to you."
"Master! Your disciple is dull-witted and has not even mastered the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill yet. How dare I trouble you with your efforts? Please give it to the other senior brothers!"
Upon hearing that his master was going to teach him martial arts privately, the young disciple whose name had been called by the "White Bone Demon" suddenly changed his expression.
He knelt down and shook his head repeatedly, seemingly unable to accept this favor.
".
over nine days.
After destroying the possession of the "White Bone Demon," the shadowy figure quickly turned its gaze to Yang Baixuan, who was still casting spells to resist.
Just as he stepped forward to cast a spell and was about to make a move, he suddenly saw that Yang Baixuan, who was surrounded by black claws, suddenly unleashed an astonishingly powerful aura.
"boom!"
A flash of white light, and the black claws were shattered, turning into black mist that dissipated.
In the middle of the battlefield, Yang Baixuan vanished without a trace.
"This is... self-destruction of the physical body!"
"You think this will allow your soul to escape?"
Just as the shadowy figure released its divine sense to search around, its expression shifted slightly, and it immediately flashed away from its original spot.
The next moment, a ripple of spiritual light appeared in mid-air, and when the dark figure reappeared, it had already arrived in front of the "silver ball of light".
In the void, a transparent aura quietly approached the ball of light, rapidly moving forward in an attempt to penetrate it.
"You think you can get in? You're dreaming!"
Just as the transparent aura was about to approach the "silver ball of light," a powerful pressure suddenly appeared in front of it, forcibly sealing off the surrounding space and stopping it in mid-air.
"If you don't want me to go in, then you can forget about it!"
Just as the shadowy figure was blocking the opponent, a powerful aura suddenly erupted in the void, instantly striking the blue line of light in front of the "silver orb".
A deafening bang resounded.
The entire battlefield trembled instantly, and a fierce wind howled past.
The six women in white who had been manipulating the magic array and guiding the "blue light" suddenly found that the light in front of them was breaking one by one.
Before anyone could figure out what was happening, they instantly realized they had lost contact with the ball of light behind them.
Immediately afterwards, the out-of-control "blue ball of light" burrowed directly into the amniotic sac and plummeted downwards.
"not good!"
".
Seeing this, the dark figure, along with the woman in white and the others, all looked ahead in shock, completely unprepared for what was happening.
Before they could react, the "silver ball of light" had already sped away and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this moment, a strange blue light began to appear in the sky above "Huayang Realm", and the color became brighter and brighter.
The silvery light fell like a silver sword slicing through the distant sky.
A thin scar formed in the once ethereal sky, looking rather strange. (End of Chapter)
