Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 179-178: A Great Surge in Aptitude, Returning to the Chaotic Ancient Times
The sword energy divine weapon that condenses from the collapsed sea of ​​qi is not a true divine weapon, but a unique sea of ​​qi structure formed by the destruction and reconstruction of the sea of ​​qi.

This sea of ​​qi is shaped like a long, gray sword.

This peculiar structure greatly excited Li Chunfeng.

As more and more true energy gathers in this sword-shaped sea of ​​qi.

The sword-shaped sea of ​​qi gradually solidified.

He could sense the boundless space within his Qi Sea. Compared to his previous Qi Sea, this one could store ten times the true Qi of someone in the Qi Refining Realm.

The re-gathered true energy, though very weak and only as thin as a thread, was extremely pure, tens of thousands of times purer than the true energy he had originally refined.

The purer the true qi, the greater its power; this is common knowledge among qi cultivators.

After Li Chunfeng re-condensed the true energy that had been emanating from his body into the sword-shaped sea of ​​qi, the first transformation of the sword body could be considered complete.

Li Chunfeng opened his eyes, glanced at the aftermath of the battle outside the mountain, and ignored it.

Continue to focus your attention on the exercise.

Having completed the first transformation of the sword body, one can already cultivate several minor sword techniques attached to the "Nine Revolutions Chaotic Intent Sword Body Technique".

【Sword Aura Slashes the Moon】—This skill unleashes a highly condensed sword aura, striking down any enemy that stands in its way, like a moon.

The Chaos Sword Wheel utilizes chaotic sword energy to condense nine spirit swords of different attributes, which rotate around the user, forming a vortex sword wheel. These swords are inextricably linked, combining offense and defense. As they rotate and accumulate power, they can ultimately destroy anything in their path.

【Thousand Swords Net】is characterized by weaving a large net composed of countless fine sword energies. No matter how fast the enemy is, they cannot escape the restraint of this thousand-layered sword net. Once triggered, they will be pierced and strangled by the dense sword energies.

【Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source】Once unleashed, thousands of sword energies instantly condense, transforming into countless materialized sword shadows that sweep towards the enemy like a storm. Each sword energy and shadow contains immense sword intent and power.

After silently reflecting on it, Li Chunfeng felt that apart from the last two sword techniques being slightly more difficult, he should be able to quickly learn the first two sword techniques given his swordsmanship skills.

I immediately decided to give it a try.

He stretched out his right hand, and as he channeled his inner energy, he formed a sword with his fingers, and boundless sword energy condensed at his fingertips.

A wisp of highly refined sword energy at his fingertips, when he felt it was about to give way, suddenly reached out and guided it, the sword energy transforming into a black and red crescent moon that shot out, passing through the gate and flying towards the distant mountains.

With a "whoosh".

A clear sword mark pierced through the thick mountain peak.

The crimson crescent moon sword aura flew out and disappeared into the distant sky.

After counting the interest.

"Boom~"

The cleaved mountain peak slid diagonally, tumbling and crashing into countless pebbles, which rolled down the Sword Peak Mountain with a thunderous roar.

Only the cross-section of the mountain peak remains, smooth as a mirror.

Li Chunfeng was greatly surprised.

This 'Sword Qi Slashes the Moon' contains chaotic sword energy, and its destructive power is comparable to that of a Divine Embryo Realm cultivator wielding a spirit-grade flying sword and unleashing a Xuan-rank sword technique!

The spells that accompany a cultivation technique become stronger as the cultivation technique's level increases.

Such power was achieved with just a single turn of the sword.

If one's level of understanding is high enough, one will likely become even more unstoppable.

His close-quarters combat style was no longer limited to swinging an axe to behead people.

He then began cultivating the Chaos Sword Wheel.

When the Chaos True Qi is inside the body, it is as warm and gentle as a tiny swimming fish. Once it is activated, it can shoot out from all parts of the body, transforming into a sharp Qi sword to attack the enemy.

Each sword strike was full of aggression and destructive power.

With a thought, he instantly grasped the essence of the Chaos Sword Wheel sword technique.

He immediately activated the Mind Sword Body Technique, and countless tiny, fish-like streams of true energy burst forth from the pores of his body, transforming into invisible sword energies that swirled around his body.

The sword energy flows naturally and endlessly, covering the entire body as if protected by ten thousand swords. The myriad sword energies refine the body and qi, while the sword intent tempers the soul and hones the will.

As the thought turned again.

Countless sword energies condensed into nine tangible spiritual swords, swirling around his body to form a vortex of sword wheels. Endless and ever-renewing, they combined offense and defense. With a casual wave of his hand, the nine spiritual swords soared into the sky, slicing the clouds above to shreds.

This level of destructive power is comparable to the fifth level of swordsmanship, where the sword light splits.

However, his 'sword light differentiation' could not be divided into thousands; it was only divided into nine paths for the time being.

The Nine Revolutions Chaotic Will Sword Body Technique is only at the first revolution. Even if it is not used to unleash a sword technique with amazing destructive power, but just to release a sword aura, the sword aura is not only as fast as lightning and as agile as the wind, but also contains a crazy killing power that can destroy everything and is indestructible. It can be described as a terrifying weapon.

It arises from a single thought and bursts forth from the void.

Li Chunfeng discovered that when he used his internal energy to create sword energy for attacks, his 'Heavenly Rank - Slaughtering True Intent' was also constantly being activated.

Furthermore, the sword energy contains a murderous intent of death and resentment, bringing a real killing power that can directly strike the enemy's soul.

The true meaning of slaughter comes from killing; the more lives one kills, the more power one accumulates.

When the true intent of slaughter meets the sword energy that shatters the body, it's a match made in heaven.

Conversely, Li Chunfeng's previous combat methods, which relied heavily on his demonic pets to kill enemies or his own ranged spellcasting, greatly limited the power of his true killing intent. Only a sword style renowned for its killing power deserves the blessing of true killing intent.

However, when a Qi cultivator incorporates the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their body and casts spells, they not only consume the power of their soul but also their own true Qi.

Unlike cultivators of the Divine Soul, who can simply invoke the power of their Divine Soul to unleash the immense spiritual energy of heaven and earth under the influence of the rules of spell runes, this cultivator possesses magical power.

Although Qi cultivators can also draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enhance the power of their spells, their spells are significantly less powerful than those cast by soul cultivators at the same cultivation level.

Furthermore, when attempting to reach a higher realm, there is a high possibility that the massive burst of sword energy could damage one's body, leading to death by explosion.

This adds immense difficulty to breaking through to a higher level.

This is a drawback of Qi cultivators.

However, in certain extremely dangerous environments, it can greatly increase one's chances of survival.

Fortunately, the "Nine Revolutions Chaotic Will Sword Body Technique" is not only a method of refining Qi, but also a method of refining the body of gods and demons.

The path of spiritual cultivation in the primordial realm emphasizes that one is adrift in a sea of ​​suffering, the physical body is a boat, and the soul is the person aboard. The boat carries the person, sailing ever towards the other shore. Whether one achieves the status of a Yang God or a Human Immortal, both are pathways to that other shore.

The Xuanmen Qi Refining method is based on the principles of Taiji, Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, and He Luo astrology, connecting with the primordial energy of heaven and earth as its foundation. It cultivates infinite abilities, allowing one to ride on mist and clouds, and live a carefree life. Among them, the Divine Demon Qi Refining method pursues the ultimate power of ancient gods and demons, using the way of Qi Refining to practice the essence of body refining.

This method is not contradictory to the Way of the Soul; on the contrary, they complement each other.

Li Chunfeng immediately concentrated his refined spiritual power, carefully and clearly sensing every subtle detail of his body, and then comparing it with his Blood Refining Realm. Even the heart, pulse, blood flow, and cell division were clearly imprinted in his mind, leaving no stone unturned, and he easily gained complete control over his entire body.

What is the key to victory for two equally matched martial artists?
It's about control!
Control your emotions, breathing, pulse, heartbeat, even blood flow and inner thoughts... Only in this way can you act as you please in battle.

Upon closer examination, Li Chunfeng indeed felt that his physique had improved somewhat.

Many previously undeveloped meridians and tendons in the body have been strengthened through tempering.

Moreover... at those tiny points where the meridians converge, vortex-like streams of true energy automatically gather there. Could these be the acupoints within my body?

In the Earthly Realm, one refines their body; only in the Martial Saint Realm does one begin refining their acupoints.

This divine and demonic body-refining method, even at the very beginning of the Qi Refining stage, has already begun to rudimentarily develop acupoints, demonstrating the profoundness and uniqueness of this method.

"This deal is a win-win!"

However, Li Chunfeng did not forget the purpose of his practice of this technique.

He took out a spirit-testing ball.

Input a strand of soul power and a strand of sword energy to check if there has been any change in your spiritual root aptitude.

The spirit-testing ball emitted a dazzling light, its colors constantly changing before stabilizing. After some calculations, it determined its new spiritual root aptitude.

[Li Chunfeng: Gold 50, Wood 50, Water 50, Fire 50, Earth 50, Darkness 98, Sword 48, Chaos 15, Lightning 46!]

"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little!"

His overall spiritual root aptitude remained unchanged; he simply reduced his spiritual root aptitude by 5 points from each of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) and used the excess points to supplement his other spiritual roots.

Sword Spirit Root Aptitude increased by a full 10 points, from 38 to 48.

It has reached the Xuan-level spiritual root level.

The newly created chaotic spiritual root only has 15 points, which is just a miscellaneous spiritual root.

For a moment, Li Chunfeng didn't know whether sacrificing one side for the other was a good thing or a bad thing.

If, in the end, his five elemental spiritual roots are completely destroyed, then his path to cultivating the five elemental methods will be completely cut off.

Chaotic spiritual root cultivation techniques are rare; currently, it is only at the mixed spiritual root level.

It's really hard to say what the future holds.

The first stage of cultivation for Qi Refiners is the Qi Refining Realm. At this stage, the lifespan of a cultivator is not much different from that of an ordinary person. They can use simple spells and magical artifacts. They need to rely on their spiritual roots to absorb spiritual energy, storing it in their limbs and gathering it towards their dantian (energy center). Only after successfully cleansing their marrow and transforming their meridians can their physique improve, thus entering the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Li Chunfeng has completed the first transformation of his sword body in the path of Qi cultivation, and is now a Foundation Establishment Qi Refining cultivator.

For a normal Qi Refining cultivator, the Foundation Establishment stage is considered the initial entry into the realm, and their lifespan can be extended to about two hundred years... but compared to Li Chunfeng's lifespan of up to five hundred years, it is obviously not enough.

The main goal of Foundation Establishment is to compress the true qi in the dantian and dantian, making it solid enough to condense into a golden elixir. Once the golden elixir is formed, the elixir is complete.

All Li Chunfeng had to do was increase the purity and quantity of the sword energy within his body.

He immediately followed the tenth level of the "Nine Revolutions Chaotic Intent Sword Body Technique," which is the method of the second revolution of the sword body, and circulated his internal true energy through the Great Circulation.

However, to his great surprise, after activating this mental technique, the originally very flexible fish-like true energy in his body suddenly became stagnant, its circulation speed dropped to one-thousandth of its original speed, and the difficulty of moving it also increased significantly.

A pressure condensed in his chest, almost suffocating him.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to cultivate normally, it would likely take decades or even centuries to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng was not a pure Qi cultivator.

In the path of the divine soul, he is a cultivator at the second level of the Divine Embryo Realm. He uses his powerful divine soul to transport true qi, constantly expanding the transport path and taming the newly added true qi fish.

The speed is incomparable to that of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, Li Chunfeng had long been accustomed to the various difficult cultivation processes on his path of cultivation.

Whether it was the endless illusions that invaded when visualizing the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World" or the tearing pain of body tempering from the "Night God Breathing Method," they had long been accustomed to it.

He persisted in pushing the energy of this mental cultivation method forward. When the true energy in his body circulated through the entire body in a completely new cycle, Li Chunfeng felt a jolt throughout his body. Then, all 100,000 pores on his body opened wide, and a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed into his body through the pores.

Li Chunfeng was overjoyed. He channeled all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, transported and refined it into his own chaotic true energy, and finally channeled it into his sword-shaped sea of ​​qi.

However, Li Chunfeng was unaware of this.

The phenomenon of spiritual energy gathering in the outside world, which had just dissipated, was amplified by his actions, creating a huge whirlwind that seemed to be growing larger.

Taiyi and Randeng stood guard atop the sword peak, and beneath their feet lay a giant azure-scaled eagle with its head severed.

They all curiously observed the ever-growing vortex of spiritual energy, whispering among themselves that the master must be cultivating an incredibly powerful technique to cause such a commotion. The stronger they were, the sooner they could bring Wenwen back.

Such a commotion naturally alerted even the great demons further away.

In an instant, the Snake Lord Mountain Range was filled with the roars of demons, as countless powerful demons vented their discontent.

In order not to disturb their master, the two brothers exchanged a glance, flew up into the sky together, and stood ready to intercept the great demons who came to spy on them.

At this moment, Li Chunfeng seemed to have transformed into a black hole-like vortex, sucking away all the infinite spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This practice lasted for several days.

I stopped when I felt that the flesh inside my body was about the thickness of a little finger.

Meanwhile, on the surrounding mountain peaks, Taiyi and Randeng were already reigning supreme and having a great time.

The powerful demons in the mountains, who were not very intelligent but still dared to invade, have all been killed by them.

The remaining demons were immediately gathered into a large group of subordinates by Taiyi after he briefly displayed the indestructible dragon might of the Heavenly Rank True Dragon bloodline.

Li Chunfeng was both amused and exasperated when he learned of this.

Before he could even figure out how to establish himself, Taiyi already had a large group of followers.

However, his large-scale gathering of demons has also caused great tension among the Lingjiao clan. This clan is working diligently to contact other major clans for reinforcements and is preparing to launch an attack on Jianfeng.

Li Chunfeng couldn't worry about that for the time being.

The abyssal energy emanating from him was already extremely dense, and the sixth abyssal tribulation was imminent.

They immediately recalled Taiyi and Randeng, who actively responded to the abyssal energy and began their tribulation.

At the same time, it activates the anchor of time and space, locking onto the chaotic ancient world.

Suddenly, his abyssal energy erupted. After leaving a message for the Mosquito Daoist in the distance, he disappeared completely.
