Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 554 Improvement
"The essence of creation? No, that's not right. This feeling of vitality and everything flourishing, could it be the manifestation of some kind of magical power of creation?"

Holding the world-saving crystal [Golden Dawn] in his hand, the vague clues that Qin Huai had previously sensed gradually became clearer. When inspiration burst out, he couldn't help but recall a very distant memory.

It was the marvelous sight he saw between heaven and earth when he realized the barrier of Qi training in [Ren·Xinchouqi] and broke through from the third level to the fourth level.

Perhaps because of the special time, Qin Huai's impression of that day was particularly deep. Even though his five senses were much stronger than before, the spiritual connection he had when he was weak was still deeply imprinted in his mind and reappeared at this moment.

The sun was setting, and the bright red twilight illuminated the wilderness and woods, as if it was about to set the entire forest on fire.

Gradually the sun sets over the mountains and forests, night falls, and everything is silent except for the gurgling of water and the occasional howling of wolves and tigers, accompanied by winds as sharp as swords and waves of pine trees.

After a night, the sky grew brighter, the ground became brighter, and in the dim shadows of dawn and dusk, two people were walking quickly.

There are desolate paths and wild trails, undulating hills, towering ancient trees, winding vines, a nearby wild lake with rippling blue waves and lush aquatic plants, and the weeds on the side of the road are green and lush, dripping with morning dew.

The sun rises in the east, leaping up like a tenaciously beating heart, and the golden morning light bursting out is sprinkled on the wilderness and mountains, just like a baby beating in the mother's womb, bursting with thousands of vitality and interweaving with infinite energy. The mountains and forests are covered with glory, the valleys are bright, the streams are shining, the fish shuttle in the shimmering water, and the birds fly freely among the mountains and forests. Everywhere you look is full of vitality.

“This power is indeed related to life and creation.”

Qin Huai slowly opened his eyes and found that the black business car heading towards Tingyuxuan at the foot of Wudang Mountain had begun to slow down and prepare for inspection.

"Anything gained?"

Emperor Xin took the [Golden Dawn] returned by Qin Huai and asked casually.

"I think I have some clues, but I am still considering whether to switch to this martial art."

Qin Huai stretched his neck. After thinking and comprehending for most of the day, he finally followed the principles explained in the first six levels of [Hun Tian Bao Jian] and figured out the thread of this magical martial art, and then grasped the true meaning of the two levels of [Indigo Sea] and [Golden Dawn].

Compared with the galaxy and the chaotic avenue, the dawn over the vast ocean may be insignificant, but these two layers represent the gestation and beginning of life.

If [Purple Galaxy] and [Mysterious Chaos] were something that Qin Huai could quickly understand because of the solid foundation he laid when he was pursuing a doctorate in astrophysics at Peking University, then Qin Huai felt that as long as he was a high school student who had received nine years of compulsory education, he would be able to taste some of the true meaning of [Indigo Sea] and [Golden Dawn] based on the Paleozoic life explosion learned in middle school biology knowledge.

After all, the earliest life on Earth - single-celled prokaryotes - originated from the ocean and the sunlight.

The universe is infinite and time and space are difficult to measure. In comparison, this tiny life is really insignificant. However, this tiny life is the most incredible miracle in the world. Infinite possibilities, the birth of civilization, the inheritance of years, wonderful emotions, profound thoughts, and amazing wisdom are all born from this, which is the basis of "reality" in the context of Yama.

Through simple verification experiments, Qin Huai has determined that the first eight levels of [Huntian Baojian] are the interpretation and explanation of the lifeless universe, and the power level is not higher than the Yanfu inheritance. However, after the brewing of [Indigo Sea] and [Golden Dawn], the [Blood Sky] born from it is the beginning of the creation of life from the lifeless universe. It is also from this level that [Huntian Baojian] truly enters the seventh palace level and can be compared with the inherited magical powers held by the agent.

However, after mobilizing his own blood and qi and carefully analyzing the [Blood Sky] formula recited by Ji Fa, Qin Huai felt it was a bit useless, because the [Blood Sky] in the formula still started with cultivating the practitioner's own essence, blood and qi, refining blood into qi, and refining qi into emptiness. Although it can greatly strengthen a person's life vitality, the effect is far inferior to Qin Huai's own magical power [Saint Thief]. At most, it can allow a mortal to cultivate to the seventh palace level, and it will be difficult to continue after that.

And in Qin Huai's deduction, the real [Blood Sky] is not just about strengthening its own existing life, but should be able to create life from nothing, and can freely transform the lifeless vitality of heaven and earth with its own life blood. The vitality of heaven and earth is inexhaustible, its own qi and blood are endless, and its lifespan is infinite. It can even fill the sky with blood and swallow the universe, comparable to the six officials who have broken through the double barriers of body and qi.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai lowered his head to take a look at the ether furnace core hidden in his chest. His Kunlun Armor had the divine power of [Life Creation]. Although with his current level of expertise, he could not figure out how Nidhogg used the alchemical matrix to achieve such a shocking feat of creating life, this did not prevent him from learning from it, applying it to other cases, and studying the method of practicing [Blood Sky].

Just when Qin Huai wanted to open his heart to Ji Fa and lend him the world-saving crystal [Blood Sky] for careful study, the business car had already entered Tingyuxuan, the villa built by the Nangong family at the foot of Wudang Mountain. Nangong Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke at the right time and invited everyone to visit his father, the current head of the Nangong family, Nangong Wudi.

As the main person being "escorted" this time, Qin Huai, like Li Shimin, could not escape and had to meet the head of the Nangong family who was nearly 70 years old.

In addition, Qin Huai also has his own plans.

As a powerful force backed by Mount Wudang, the Nangong family must have a close relationship with the Scale Lord Zhuo Jiu since they were sent to preside over the Zhenwu fight. They are new here and don't know the specific situation yet. Now that the Zhenwu fight is very close, if they can get more intelligence from the Nangong family, it will certainly be of great help to subsequent actions.

Before entering the fruit, Scale Master Zhuo Jiu asked Zhao Xuantan to tell Yan Fu to be careful when walking. Qin Huai kept it in mind and acted with restraint. However, what he saw and heard in the past few days made him murmur. Those ghost heroes who appeared out of nowhere were almost all colorful bubbles that were rarely seen among millions of people. Although they only had a short time to waste, they were indeed powerful and there were many of them. Even he had some difficulty dealing with them.

This is actually a very unusual thing.

Generally speaking, since the Yamafu Walkers can walk through different fruits to grab nutrients and accelerate their growth, under the same rank, their foundation and strength will be stronger than the fruit natives. As a leader among the Yamafu Walkers, Qin Huai rarely encounters fruit natives that can make him lose face.

But in the past three days, which were also the three days since he entered the stage of the Zhenwu Fruit, he encountered no less than five indigenous masters who were able to fight with him for more than a hundred rounds. Although they were only ghosts resurrected by unknown forces, the frequency and density of the battles was really abnormal.

Even though this situation can be explained by [Eighty-one Fights], and the hint given by Ninja Land is indeed like this, Qin Huai always feels that something is wrong.

Now that he could meet the person in charge of the real fight, he naturally had to ask some questions.

With Nangong Yu leading the way, there were no obstacles along the way. The six people from Qinhuai came directly to a mountain-viewing stone pavilion built on the green lake, and saw a white-haired old man who was smoking.

"Father."

"Yu'er, I'm glad you're back." Nangong Wudi put down his pipe, glanced at Zhuo Yue imperceptibly, then looked at Qin Huai and said meaningfully, "I know who you are. We are destined to be together, but I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, so I won't be polite. As for the Hong Kong Island incident, I know you were forced to take action. Wudang will not pursue the matter, but real fighting is not a joke. You have to think clearly about what to do."

"As for you, if you want to fulfill your long-cherished wish after living a new life, then try your best. Piaomiao City does not welcome the weak."

After listening to the old man's words, Qin Huai blinked and said after a while: "Master Nangong, they were originally dead spirits, and now they are suddenly resurrected. There must be something strange about it. Shouldn't Wudang investigate it thoroughly to prevent bad guys from causing trouble?"

"Wudang will take care of things on its own, so you don't need to worry about it."

Nangong Wudi glanced at Di Xin and the others, without saying much, and just said: "The day after tomorrow, Wudang will gather everyone's internal energy to summon the Immortal City Piaomiao. If you are determined to enter the city to fight, remember to take your place early. Wudang will not wait for you if you are late."

“Well, it turns out that the Nangong family has already taken control. I was worrying too much.”

Qin Huai nodded slightly, looking at Nangong Wudi, who had no malice in his vision and could not find out any information from him. He wanted to say something else, but saw the old man in front of him waved his hand and asked Nangong Yu to take them away from Guanshan Pavilion.

Tingyuxuan, guest room.

After exchanging [Bai Yunyan] and [Rose Cloud] for [Blood Sky] in Ji Fa's body and comprehending it for most of the night, Qin Huai, holding the scarlet sky crystal, slowly opened his eyes and leaned back on the sofa. What he was thinking about in his mind at this moment was not [Hun Tian Bao Jian], but [Heavenly Demon Power] provided by King Zhou Di Xin.

Although this martial art of gods and demons passed down from the ancient demon lord the Great Demon contains many texts and images, it can generally be divided into three parts.

The first is the Heavenly Demon Heart Method which takes a holistic view and is used to improve the foundation. It contains the method of cultivating the mind to condense the Heavenly Heart and sublimate oneself, the method of cultivating the internal energy to refine the Heavenly Demon and remove the impurities, and the method of protecting oneself by using the mind and energy to feed back the body to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Golden Body. It is also profound and full of mysteries.

The following are fighting methods such as [Four Eclipses of the Heavenly Demon] and [Five Absolutes of the Heavenly Demon]. The nature of their power is different from the all-encompassing [Hun Tian Bao Jian] and is extremely compatible with the Taowu inheritance.

After sparring with Emperor Xin and others, with Qin Huai's vision, he naturally understood that the magical martial art [Heavenly Demon Art] was not as good as the [Innate Qiankun Art] in terms of large-scale destructive power, not as good as the [Huantian Baojian] in terms of the profoundness of the internal power changes, not as good as the [Nine Strikes of Purple Thunder] in terms of domineering and ferocious power, not as good as the [Tathagata Palm] in terms of grandeur, not as good as the [Tathagata Palm] in terms of viciousness and cruelty. But it has unique skills that cannot be matched by any other magical martial art - [Heavenly Demon Four Eclipses] and [Heavenly Demon Bliss].

The Four Devours of the Heavenly Demon (flesh, bones, meridians and soul) that can absorb the blood, flesh and essence of any living creature, and the upgraded version of [Heavenly Demon Bliss], are the core essence of [Heavenly Demon Art], and were also the key reason why Emperor Xin was able to easily cut off Tyrant Corpse's arm and force him to fight to the death.

Qin Huai tried to follow the route of the [Heavenly Demonic Art], and a deep and evil purple-black demonic energy immediately formed in his palm, swirling around him.

“It’s so similar”

After staring at the purple-black cyclone for a while, Qin Huai dispersed this power which was almost the same in nature as [Evil Without Limits]. He also did not rashly practice [Demon Skill], but made up his mind to collect a few more martial arts of gods and demons, and then combine them with his own situation, eliminate the dross and retain the essence, and try to create a martial art of gods and demons that belongs to him alone.

"Although the core internal skills are temporarily useless, these moves and routines can be used as reference."

As time passed, Qin Huai, who used evil Qi to replace the internal energy of the Heavenly Demon, kept trying and making errors along the route of [Four Eclipses of the Heavenly Demon]. Finally, with the power of Taowu, he successfully performed [Tiger's Hungry Devouring], a move that was improved from [Four Eclipses of the Heavenly Demon].

It was a ferocious and evil aura that gathered into a head as if it had a soul, transforming into a hungry tiger in a cage, and then opening its bloody mouth with jagged teeth, swallowing the sky and the earth.

Qin Huai recalled the evil feeling when Emperor Xin used [Four Eclipses of the Heavenly Demon], and always felt that this move was missing something.

"Swallowing Essence. [Sage Thief]! One is a unique move that can absorb the blood and flesh essence of any living creature, and the other is a magical power that can absorb nutrients from gold, stone, sand and soil. If the power of the magical power of [Sage Thief] is combined with this move [Tiger Devouring]."

After thinking for a while, Qin Huai finally found inspiration from thousands of thoughts and started trying it out directly.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Qin Huai, who was immersed in studying new things in the Niwan Palace, suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand, and soared into the sky with a ferocious tiger roar and a vicious wind.

The mountain breeze blowing in from outside Tingyuxuan was still cool and comfortable, but at an altitude of several thousand meters, a giant hole with a radius of several kilometers was eaten out by the cotton-like clouds, and every bit of vital energy gathered into a trickle and penetrated directly into Qinhuai's body.

"It's done!"

Qin Huai, who had tried hundreds of times for fusion before achieving any success, felt this clear feedback and was refreshed. He also recovered a lot from the sluggish state caused by severe physical exhaustion.

Jingle bell bell~
The screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up and buzzed, and the caller ID showed "Emperor Xin".

Qin Huai grabbed his phone and leaned heavily on the sofa. He opened a can of pineapple beer with one hand, swallowed two sips of ice-cold beer to relieve his fatigue, and said vaguely: "Hello?"

"Go out for a walk?"

"Who is there?"

"It's just the few of us. Miss Zhuo said she wanted to go to the night market here, so she borrowed a car from Nangong. Now she is studying the map with Liu Bowen."

Qin Huai groaned, touched his hungry stomach, sat up and said, "Let me open it, you are not fast enough."
