Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 378: Taize Lake [Part ]

hum!
next second.

Accompanied by the rapid decrease of the modified value on the panel.

In the body.

After swallowing the electric eel monster, the demonic power that reached a hundred strands actually dissipated like a cloud of mist.

If other monsters saw this situation, they would surely be horrified.

Because this is a sign of the dissipation of cultivation.

Once the demonic power in the body dissipates and turns into this mist, it will dissipate in a short time.

This would destroy all the years of cultivation.

It may even directly cause it to fall from the level of a spirit back to its original state of an ignorant animal with only weak intelligence.

This is the most intolerable and fearful thing for all intelligent spirits.

but.

Faced with such a situation.

Hu Qi was extremely calm.

Because he understood that this was a necessary process.

soon.

All threads of demonic power disintegrated, and not a trace of demonic power remained in the body.

but.

next moment.

The dissipated mist gathered again and turned into a small vortex.

at the same time.

The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth surged in madly and completely sank into Hu Qi's huge black snake body.

Wisps of demonic power were condensed again.

However, compared to the previous gray demonic power, the newly condensed demonic power was completely black, like hair, and its volume was also much more condensed.

"Sure enough, the demonic power condensed by the demons that rely on their instinct to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too crude.

It simply cannot be compared with the power developed through the real breathing method.

No wonder the demon race in this world has a low status and is slaughtered at will by human cultivators and used as materials. "

Hu Qi's eyes moved slightly.

He discovered that the quality of the demonic power cultivated through the breathing method was two to three times that of the demonic power he had condensed through breathing before.

He created this practice.

In addition to being able to make it appear on the panel, you can use the Scarlet Panel to modify the values ​​to quickly improve your strength.

There is also a pure idea of ​​refining one's own demonic power to make it more powerful.

However, he did not expect the gap to be so huge.

In comparison, the demonic power condensed before was too superficial and rough.

If fighting with human cultivators of the same level, his power will be greatly weakened.

Not to mention that human cultivators also have various magical instruments and talismans.

If it weren't for the fact that the demon race is naturally much stronger than humans and can condense more demonic power, this would be their advantage.

I am afraid the gap will be even greater.

Soon, the demonic power in Hu Qi's body grew wildly.

Breakthrough through one hundred strands, five hundred strands, one thousand strands.

Finally, it stopped at ten thousand strands of demonic power and no longer continued to grow.

at the same time.

In the body.

These surging threads of demonic power surged to every part of the body.

Drill towards the meridians.

A slight pain came.

Like a mosquito biting.

Not a moment.

The pain went away.

Looking inward, some of the originally tiny blocked meridians were unblocked.

The veins in the body emit a faint fluorescence.

In the later stage of Qi training, the meridian opening state is achieved!

If other demon tribes or even human cultivators knew about this scene, they would definitely doubt their lives.

To open the meridians refers to using the true Qi (demonic power) to open up the eight extraordinary meridians in the body.

A process of returning oneself from acquired to innate.

Only during the gestation process can a living thing maintain its body in an innate state.

Once born, affected by the turbid air of the world, some of the tiny meridians in the body will close and become blocked.

This is the case.

It will become more serious as time goes by.

Therefore, the older you get, the more difficult it becomes to break through the level of Tongmai.

At the same time, when breaking through, the pain will become more intense, like being tortured to death.

Besides.

To break through the meridians, one needs to have extremely high control over one's own strength, and one may be caught off guard.

It is easy to damage the meridians, causing serious injuries at the least and death at the worst.

When some human cultivators break through this level, they will even specifically look for and refine elixirs to nourish their tendons and veins.

The reason why the pockmarked Taoist priest chased after the mountain monster was for this reason.

The so-called fighting against demons and defending the way of righteousness is only secondary.

The most important thing is to extract the blood, flesh and soul of Shankui and refine the spirit pill that can strengthen the body.

The purpose is to break through the meridians.

Even the demon race, whose physique far exceeds that of human cultivators, cannot do what Hu Qi did and open up all eight extraordinary meridians at once.

The reason why Hu Qi felt so relaxed and felt little pain was because of this.

The scarlet panel is one aspect, and the other is Hu Qi's snake body.

From the time he was born from the eggshell to the time he reached the Tongmai realm, it has been less than a month at most.

The meridians in the body are not closed.

Hu Qi stretched his body.

I found that my body had grown a little bit, reaching about thirteen meters.

Fortunately, the cave here is big enough and does not seem crowded.

He looked at the panel.

[Skill: Mysterious Scales Air Record (9th level)△]

……

[Modified value: 1915 (20%)]

The Xuanlin Qi Nalu has reached the ninth level.

This means that Hu Qi has now broken through to the great perfection of Qi training.

The cost was the consumption of nearly thirty points of modification value.

Feel the state of your body.

Everything is going well. There is no situation where the improvement is too drastic and the foundation is not unstable.

Obviously, it was because of Hu Qi's previous hard training, coupled with this method of Qi training, that laid a good foundation for this body.

This was exactly what Hu Qi wanted.

His eyes fell on the back of the Xuanlin Qi Nalu.

I saw that there was still a triangle rune there.

However, compared to before, the triangular rune is now translucent.

In this case.

Scarlet has been used for so long.

Hu Qi naturally understood what it meant.

This Xuanlin Naqilu was created based on the Guixi Yinqilu.

Theoretically, the upper limit is only the ninth level, and it cannot be upgraded any further.

As for the Dao Foundation Realm that comes after that.

Even if Hu Qi wanted to use one Qi training method to deduce and create subsequent methods, it would take a lot of time.

After all, the construction of the extraordinary system is the best product produced by generations of geniuses who have worked hard and continuously experimented.

It is not a process that can be overcome overnight.

This isn't a problem at all with the Scarlet Panel, though.

As long as the modified value is sufficient, it can even be deduced out of nothing.

Generally speaking, Hu Qi rarely uses this function.

Because doing so consumes a lot of time to modify the value.

But now we are in a world where true God may exist.

Hu Qi needs enough power to protect himself.

As long as your strength is improved, there is no need to worry about not having modification value.

Think about this.

He gave direct orders.

"Xinhong, revise, deduce, and perfect the content of the cultivation method of the Dao Foundation Chapter of the Mysterious Scales Induction Record for me."

hum!
In the skill column, the words "Xuanlin Qi Record" were like a stone suddenly dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The writing became blurred.

At the same time, a large amount of information about the Xuanlin Qi Record appeared in his mind like a passing show.

Various possibilities are constantly being deduced and improved, and even some previously unknown knowledge content is added to them.

This magical situation.

Even Hu Qi today couldn't help but feel amazed.

Scarlet's power was far beyond his imagination.

No, the scarlet panel is part of him.

Therefore, this can also be seen as his talent.

soon.

The changes disappear and return to normal.

Hu Qi looked at the panel again.

-

[Skill: Mysterious Evil Underworld Foundation Building Secret Record (First Level)△]

……

[Modified value: 85 (20%)] As expected, the modified value column fell below the mark.

As for the original Xuanlin Naqi Record, it became the Xuansha Mingshu Foundation Building Secret Record.

Hu Qi's eyes fell on it.

Suddenly, a stream of information belonging to the secret record of Xuansha Mingshu's foundation building flooded into Hu Qi's mind.

At the same time, there is also information about the Dao Foundation Realm.

If practicing Qi is just the beginning to the extraordinary.

The Dao Foundation is just as its name suggests, it is the foundation for building the path to the great road.

After that, how far you can go is closely related to the depth of your Tao foundation.

At this moment, a translucent black lotus platform appeared inside Hu Qi's body.

And on the Lotus Platform, drops of black liquid continued to condense out.

These things are exactly the demon essence.

Compared to demon power.

The demon power is even stronger.

and.

After breaking through the foundation of Tao.

There is another change.

Think about this.

A special spiritual fluctuation was spreading from Hu Qi's body to the surrounding waters, with him as the center.

Suddenly.

Various scenes appeared in his eyes.

This is an ability called demon consciousness that is born after the demon race breaks through their Tao foundation.

Monks call it divine consciousness.

The names are different, but the essence is the same.

It is somewhat similar to the spiritual power of the spirit-refining masters in the secret martial arts system.

But that’s because he’s only at the first level of Dao Foundation Realm.

The coverage area is only about a hundred meters.

And it can only be used for observation.

There is no such thing as mental power, which can perceive the five senses as if one is in the same situation, as well as the ability to search souls and control people's minds.

To be honest, it can be regarded as a weakened version of mental power.

However, this is amazing enough.

You know, this is only the second highest realm in this world's extraordinary system.

As our strength increases, this power will definitely increase.

At this moment, as his mind moved.

A bright ball of light emerged in front of him.

It instantly illuminated the situation inside the surrounding cave.

The silt originally in the cave was cleared away after Hu Qi occupied it.

The exposed surface below was covered with soft stones of varying sizes, and in the corner of one side of the cave was a small pile of various porcelains, gold and silver objects.

These were all collected by the electric eel monster before.

In front of the cave, there are dense aquatic plants that sway gently with the water flow.

Looking at the ball of light in front of you.

Hu Qi looked thoughtful.

Whether it is demon consciousness or divine consciousness, once you possess it, as the power grows, the range it covers will become larger, and it will have the effect of controlling objects, manipulating spiritual energy, and performing some simple spells.

What we see before us is the use of one's own strength, which is called magic in this world.

After breaking through the Dao Foundation Realm, he has left the realm of spirits and monsters and reached the level of a true demon.

There are nine levels in the Xuansha Mingshu Foundation Establishment Secret Record, corresponding to the nine levels of Taoism foundation.

Now, he is at the first level.

Look at the panel.

I thought about it.

He gave up the idea of ​​adding more points to improve it.

Prepare to consolidate the surging strength first.

Increasing too much is not good for the body.

……

A few days later, in the underwater cave area.

The spiritual energy within a thousand meters seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, like a raging whirlpool, rushing madly towards the cave.

Outside the cave, two giant snakes, one yellow and one red, were quietly coiled on both sides like loyal door gods.

Their scales flickered with light, illuminating an area.

"Big brother's aura seems to be stronger than before."

The one who spoke was the yellow python nearby, and its voice was as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring.

If you only listen to the voice, you might think that the person speaking is a pretty girl.

Even though we were deep underwater, the sound was unobstructed.

As it spoke, it looked into the cave from time to time, sensing a trace of breath escaping from it, and a hint of curiosity and awe flashed in its eyes.

"I don't know what level of strength my brother will reach after this retreat."

Upon hearing this, the red python at the side stopped practicing breathing and spoke in a low voice.

Its voice was low and deep, and its tone was full of respect and admiration for Hu Qi.

Thanks to the unique advantages of this spiritual vein node, and the spiritual nourishment brought by Hu Qi's magical soul-devouring talent, the strength of these two giant snakes has increased by leaps and bounds.

In just a few days, they have actually climbed to the threshold of Qi Gathering in the second stage of Qi training, and a breakthrough is just around the corner.

As their strength grew, their intelligence increased greatly, and they used their demonic power to refine the transverse bones in their mouths.

From then on, he could speak and communicate with the outside world.

"I don't know when we can be as powerful as Big Brother."

The yellow python beside him seemed to suddenly remember something, and a trace of longing flashed in his eyes.

"With my big brother's strength, maybe I can go out and have a look. It's too boring to stay here all the time."

Hearing this, the red python suddenly turned its head to look at the yellow python, a hint of vigilance flashing in its eyes.

"Little sister, it's not that fun out there. You can lose your life if you're not careful. Have you forgotten the time you were almost eaten by that bald eagle?"

"That was just an accident, and besides, I'm fine, right?"

The yellow python giggled playfully, but then saw the red python's increasingly serious expression and quickly changed his tone.

"Don't be so serious, second brother. I'm just talking and I won't really go out. Besides, aren't you and eldest brother here?"

"It's good for you to know! We can't always be in time to save you when you are in danger."

The red python snorted coldly and wanted to give a few more instructions.

At this moment, the water in front suddenly surged violently, and a huge black shadow approached rapidly.

next moment.

A huge black catfish nearly ten meters in size appeared.

Covered with green scales.

The huge mouth opened slightly, revealing rows of sharp teeth.

Its eyes glowed a faint green in the darkness.

At the moment of its appearance.

The two snakes felt a sense of danger.

The other party is far more powerful than them.

"Huh? Where did you two come from? As far as I know, you two are not the masters of this territory, right?"

The blue catfish opened its mouth, and the sound dissipated dully in the water.

While talking.

A flash of greed flashed across its oily green eyes, which was the murderous look that appeared when it saw its prey.

In the world of demons, the law of the jungle and eating each other is the norm.

In its eyes, these two weak little snakes are just that.

It's just a delicious delicacy with two tender and tasty ends.

Perhaps, these two little snakes are the eel monster’s new subordinates.

So how should I put this "meal on the plate" into my mouth?

After all, the eel's electrical ability is quite tricky.

"Stop looking at us with those disgusting eyes of yours, you ugly freak..."

"Little sister! Stop talking nonsense!"

Before the yellow python could finish his words, he was interrupted by the red python beside him.

There was some fear in its eyes.

But I thought of Hu Qi in the cave.

The trace of fear in his eyes suddenly disappeared.

However, the other party is ultimately more powerful than them.

Therefore, avoiding provocation is undoubtedly the best outcome.

"That eel has been eaten by my eldest brother. This is my eldest brother's territory now. I wonder why this friend came here?"

Hear the words.

The catfish spirit was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, the eel spirit died.

Compared to this, what concerned it more was that it could not find a trace of fear in the eyes of these two little snakes.

The fear that should have appeared when facing a strong man was not there at all. Instead, there was a kind of calmness. The yellow python was especially so. It even had a bit of... disdain?
This discovery, coupled with the other party's description of the ugly monster, immediately made the green catfish feel furious.

As for the big brother mentioned by the other party.

It didn't take it to heart.

In terms of backing, is there anyone better than it?

Think about this.

It twisted its huge body, causing the water ripples around it to become disordered.

"Very good! Even that eel spirit wouldn't dare to talk to me like this, you..."

Halfway through the sentence.

Its movement paused.

Because it felt a powerful aura of pressure coming down and locking onto it.

Before it could react.

next moment.

boom!
A dull bang exploded in front.
