Destiny is ashes

Chapter 335 Progress and Goals (23)

When Huo Qing drove to the warehouse in Chonggang Town and met An Jing, An Jing was reviewing his progress in amending the law.

Although the harvest in terms of treasures can be said to be very fruitful, An Jing feels that his greatest improvement in this life-and-death battle is in his magical powers.

Because he is proficient in multiple cultivation methods, An Jing divides his strength into three parts.

The first part, Huaixu Martial Arts.

In this regard, there are the Son of Heaven's Law and the Way of Holding the Sky's Time of the Tianyi Demon Sect, the Mingjingxin cultivation method passed down to An Jing by Mingguangchen of the Mingjing Sect, and the 'Controlling the Five Weapons True Thunder' taught by Jin Yanhua.

Among them, at the critical moment of life and death, An Jing reduced the time to enter the "Emperor's Law" to one breath, achieving his wish to use the Emperor's Law to fight.

The technique of holding the elixir and the method of disintegrating the demons can only be achieved with the perfect insight of the Son of Heaven's method and the super-speed thinking of the Heaven-controlling time.

Moreover, under the state of Emperor's Law, An Jing's use of the Injury Sword Finger caused less damage to himself.

The second part is about refining Qi and cultivating immortality.

This part mainly refers to Taibai Haoling's divine prohibition.

An Jing has completed the nine prohibitions and obtained the supernatural power [Zheng Jian Bai].

Theoretically speaking, An Jing had only achieved eight taboos, but the ninth taboo was the soul, and An Jing had used Zhitianshi to condense the supernatural powers of the soul. This newly created supernatural power was naturally covered by An Jing's magic taboos, so in a subtle way, An Jing had completed the ninth taboo.

This is the linkage between martial arts and cultivation. The two complement each other. The initial accumulation may take some time, but once you enter the harvest period, you can immediately upgrade on the spot.

The magical power of [Zheng Jian Bai] makes An Jing one inside and out, and his body and soul become one.

At this point, An Jing will not be afraid of the Five Poisons, and will be extremely strong against all kinds of mental attacks. As long as An Jing is not completely killed, even if he is seriously injured, he will still be able to fight.

Part of the attack on An Jing's soul will always be transferred to his body. As long as An Jing's body is not destroyed, his soul will always be able to maintain the ability to think even if it is seriously injured.

This magical power is the basis of many other magical powers after Taibai Haoling's Divine Prohibition, so it emphasizes foundation. But even so, in An Jing's hands, combined with Huaixu martial arts, he becomes a copper pea that cannot be beaten, flattened, or steamed.

The third part is the divine power of destiny.

An Jing's original magical power of [Mars Guarding the Heart] [Condensing Qi into Weapons] has reached the level of condensing weapons into the body, and then, through the advancement of Taibai Haoling's divine prohibition and the realization of the nature of his own destiny, An Jing's [Taibai Eclipse Pleiades] also awakened a new magical power [Dissolving Soldiers and Forging Souls].

As the name suggests, this magical power allows An Jing to launch special attacks against various weapons and magical tools. After destroying the weapons, it can condense their essence and store it as inspiration.

As they all share the same destiny of the Seven Evils, there is an obvious linkage between Condensing Qi into Soldiers and Eliminating Weapons and Forging Souls - the inspiration of Eliminating Weapons and Forging Souls can be used to temporarily enhance the strength of Qi Soldiers, as well as slowly nourish the essence of Qi Soldiers. The Qi Soldiers that are Condensed into Soldiers can also increase the lethality of Eliminating Weapons and Forging Souls against other weapons, which can be regarded as the initial form of the Seven Evils' bond.

The complete form of the cooperation between the two is [Killing].

Killing, the companion spirit treasure called An Jing by the Fuxie Sword Spirit, looks like just a Qi soldier that has been strengthened many times, but its essence is far from that simple.

When An Jing created it, he had a vague understanding that killing was not perfect.

The complete form of this magic weapon is definitely not something that can be created with just two magical powers. Condensing Qi into a weapon and destroying the weapon to cast its soul are only the most basic conditions for shaping its form, and its magical power, its mysterious meaning, and the trick to activate its true killing power have not yet been comprehended by An Jing.

Its complete form requires at least the combined magical powers of the Seven Evils to be forged, and it deserves the evaluation of Fuxuexie as a 'companion spiritual treasure'.

But now, this sword of killing that is extremely sharp, can kill people, absorb the blood of others, and can perfectly carry all of An Jing's skills is also worthy of being called a trump card.

And, maybe it was a hint from God.

An Jing felt that the 'Five Paths of Divine Power' required for the complete form of killing, the corresponding five stars and five elements, the five-weapon thunder method he mastered, and the 'Great Five Elements Destruction Sword Intention' he had just obtained, should have a mysterious connection. If he could really master all these skills and comprehend the true meaning of the Heaven and Earth Thunder Method with the Sword of Killing, then he might be able to advance this magical power to an unimaginable realm!

"The three parts of my strength are like three interconnected and mutually reinforcing talent trees. Since I can start strong first and then move on to the next, I can focus on improving one aspect and then quickly raise the levels of the other two. I can also take steady steps."

An Jing was regulating his breathing in the spirit gathering array in the retreat room. After guessing the truth that 'immortality is not allowed in Huaixu Realm', he now felt like committing a crime every time he exhaled. The feeling of embezzling all the assets of Tianyuan Realm was always irresistible, and his cultivation speed was inexplicably faster.

It seemed as if destiny was urging him to absorb more spiritual energy from the Tianyuan Realm and return to Huaixu, just as he could earn foreign exchange.

During the breathing process, An Jing also roughly confirmed his three future goals.

The first and most urgent goal is to find the mother and confirm her safety.

The second goal is the same as the first one, but there is still time to wait and see, which is to go to Broken Blade Mountain to find the fragments of Fuxie.

The third goal is a little further away. It is to find an opportunity to return to Mingjing Sect after completing the first two goals.

When the three targets were determined, the warehouse door opened. An Jing stood up to greet Huo Qing who was in a hurry.

"An Jing! You... Hey, you don't look injured?"

Huo Qing looked anxious at first. He was carrying a box of supplies, which should be various medicines and green wood core cakes. But when he saw An Jing, who looked quite good, this kind-hearted man was at a loss: "What's going on? Is there something serious? Or are there other injured people?"

He didn't think that An Jing was making fun of him, but he thought that the other party might have other metaphors, or that like last time, An Jing brought other injured people from his sect to heal their wounds.

"No, I'm just injured."

An Jing stretched out his hand, and Huo Qing grasped it with some doubts - then, this immortal martial arts practitioner who also mastered the Huaixu martial arts sensing method was shocked: "Your body is completely broken... God, take medicine quickly!"

As he said this, Huo Qing hurriedly took out a "Healing Yuan Talisman" and a light green syringe from the box. In addition, there were four emerald green rice cakes placed in the vacuum bag.

"Thank you very much."

An Jing was not polite. Although the healing talisman was expensive, it contained pure vitality. Nian Qin, the mother of Nian Quan, could use it to prolong her life for a quarter of an hour at the end of her life. It was the most effective of the various healing talismans commonly seen in the Tianyuan Realm. The price was three hundred good merits per piece, which was ten times that of a healing talisman.

After sticking the healing talisman on the back of his neck, An Jing suddenly felt waves of cool and refreshing vitality extending from his spine to his limbs and bones. The bones that had only barely healed and the cracks that were glued together by the blood of the murderous people began to heal completely. In just ten short moments, his whole body was restored to 80% to 90%!
"Don't be careless!"

Huo Qing was still very serious. He immediately took out the light green syringe and said, "Although the healing talisman has pure vitality, it also triggers your physical potential. Therefore, using multiple healing talismans in a short period of time will cause internal organ failure."

"I see that you, An Jing, have used some secret method to heal your injuries before. The combination of the two may cause hidden dangers... Here is a bottle of 'Qing Yao Ling Jiao', which is the gelatinous essence extracted from the core of the evergreen wood. It can effectively nourish the internal organs."

"Even if it's used externally, it can quickly form a covering layer and replace part of the skin's flesh and blood."

"This..." An Jing knew that this thing was probably the same as the healing talisman, an extremely expensive life-saving medicine. He was about to refuse, but when he saw Huo Qing had already inserted the needle and opened the container of the medicine, he could only helplessly say: "Hey, let me do it myself, otherwise the needle may not be able to be inserted."

Under Huo Qing's gaze, An Jing skillfully injected the medicine into his muscles. This was indeed a very effective medicine. If the healing talisman could restore An Jing's condition to 80% or 90%, then now, An Jing felt that he could directly recover 120% of his vitality after a good sleep and waking up.

Before the effect of the medicine wears off, An Jing's regeneration ability will be greatly enhanced.

As for the Qingmuxin Cake that came later, compared to these two precious medicines, it was just an ordinary health-preserving cake.

An Jing picked up a piece and forcefully pushed the rest to Huo Qing: "You have been practicing the Emperor Heaven Method a little too much recently, and your body is a little overdrawn. Eat two more!"

For a moment, the warehouse was silent. The two of them divided the cake and started eating.
