Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 603 Recovery [Part 1]

I thought so in my heart.

Hu Qi then asked the question directly.

Hear the words.

Mo Shan frowned slightly, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"That person's name is not something we can discuss openly."

Mo Shan said this without going into details about the issue.

However, Hu Qi already has the answer.

After all, only a True Spirit level being could make a top Dao Lord at the Dao Fruit Realm so secretive.

"I hope you can win the upcoming competition for the Dao Child. Only in this way can you go further on your path of cultivation. Listening to the Dao this time is a great opportunity for you."

Having said this, he paused.

“If it were before, it would be fine, but you and Mo Xuan are different.”

You are stronger now. With this strength, seizing the position of Dao Child should not be difficult, but you cannot be too complacent. This world is never short of geniuses. You had better increase your strength as much as possible before the millennium arrives.

Mo Shan spoke solemnly and earnestly.

Say it.

He raised his hand and gestured, and a token that was jet black and faintly glowed appeared out of thin air, slowly floating in front of Hu Qi.

"I understand!"

Hu Qi looked moved, seemingly touched.

I respectfully accepted the token with both hands, feeling its warmth and smoothness, and noticing the faint Taoist aura flowing across its surface.

This item is the elder's token from Moshan.

Having this is like having the other person personally present.

This was also the treatment Mo Xuan received in the past.

Mo Shan nodded slightly and then carefully instructed on the relevant matters, especially detailing the current situation in the Northern Heaven Domain.

Lingyu Mountain is a dominant force in the Northern Heaven Domain, with only two powers capable of rivaling it:

First, there is Wujian Pavilion, which is known for its fierce attacks and is considered a leader of the righteous path.

The other is White Bone Plain, whose cultivation methods are even more unpredictable and ruthless than those of Spirit Prison Mountain, making it a true giant of the demonic path.

Therefore, in theory, to seize the position of Dao Child, one only needs to overpower and defeat the top successors of these two major forces.

However, nothing is absolute. The Northern Heaven Domain is one of the four islands that split off from the once glorious and boundless Mountain and Sea Realm.

Although countless eras have passed and countless cultivators have repeatedly explored it, the opportunities that are openly available are not as plentiful as they used to be.

But no one dares to say for sure whether there is still some extraordinary legacy hidden somewhere, waiting to be discovered.

Just like Mo Ming, who obtained the essence blood of the Golden-Winged Roc.

When the time comes to compete for the position of Dao Child, it is inevitable that some hidden geniuses will emerge to vie for it.

This kind of thing has happened before.

There have even been instances where former sect prodigies were defeated and had their Dao Child positions taken away.

In this regard.

Each sect takes strict precautions and will begin eliminating cultivators who may pose a threat to their disciples in advance.

However, it is still impossible to completely avoid it.

To ensure fairness, during the final hundred years of the Daoist competition, external interference was strictly prohibited. Any prodigy participating in the Daoist competition could not be killed.

Only young geniuses with a bone age of less than one hundred million years are eligible to participate.

Anyone who violates this rule will suffer a backlash from the laws of heaven and earth, and may even alarm the supreme being in Zixiao Palace.

At that time, even a Dao Lord level figure would not be able to bear such consequences.

Mo Shan gave a few more details and then gestured for Hu Qi to step down.

The top of the mountain.

Mo Shan stood with his hands behind his back, watching Hu Qi's figure disappear into the swirling clouds and mist.

After a while, he suddenly spoke, as if talking to himself.

"What does the sect leader think of my son?"

The moment Mo Shan finished speaking, ripples appeared in the void beside him, and a figure in white robes with a long beard suddenly appeared.

It was none other than Ling Tianzi, the sect leader of Lingyu Mountain.

He was also looking in the direction Hu Qi had left.

Eyes burning.

"His vital energy is like the sun, just like a purebred golden-winged roc chick! More importantly, this person is indeed your bloodline, and definitely not someone who has been possessed!"

As he spoke, the azure light in Tian Lingzi's eyes subsided, as if he had just been using some kind of pupil technique to confirm Hu Qi's identity.

"Furthermore, this boy is no ordinary person. Not only did he fuse with the essence blood of that Golden-Winged Roc, but he also completely inherited the Golden-Winged Roc's talent. It can only be said that Mo Xuan's defeat was not unjust."

Even Zhang Chen is no match for him. It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the competition for the Dao Child will fall to him this time.

Speaking of the back.

A hint of sigh rose in Ling Tianzi's words.

There's definitely a secret about Mo Ming; it can't be as simple as just the essence blood of the Golden-Winged Roc.

Otherwise, it simply doesn't make sense.

But he didn't pay any attention to it.

Those who can break through to the level of True God all have some secrets and opportunities. If we had to dig into every single question, then there would be no need for any sect to exist.

Hear the words.

A faint smile appeared on Mo Shan's face.

This time, however, he was not as humble as before.

Because Hu Qi's previous display of strength did indeed far exceed the limits of a true god.

No matter how monstrous Zhang Chen is, he could never defeat his opponent.

Unless the other party breaks through and advances to the Dao Lord level.

However, breaking through to the Dao Lord level is not that simple.

It has been only a thousand years since we arrived at the core.

This time may be a long time for ordinary people, but for beings like them, it is extremely difficult to improve their cultivation even slightly.

Unless Zhang Chen has some extraordinary stroke of luck, it is impossible for him to advance to the Dao Lord level.

"That's natural. If he weren't my son, I wouldn't have let him leave just now."

As he said this, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

In terms of aptitude, opportunities, and comprehension alone, he was inferior to the Spirit Emperor before him. The reason he was able to catch up with him in cultivation was...

That was because he obtained a special secret technique passed down from ancient times during an outing when he broke through to the True God realm.

Its name is the "Primordial Embryo Nourishing Dragon Devouring Heaven Method".

While it may sound righteous, it is actually an extremely vicious method.

Among them, 'Yuan Tai' refers to the purest lineage of offspring.

If he wants to go further, the only way is to plunder the power of his fellow bloodline descendants and use it as nourishment for himself.

This is why he was happy to raise offspring.

If it were merely for physical pleasure, there would be no need for such actions; with his strength, he could freely control whether or not to have offspring.

His reason for doing this was simply to practice this technique.

And Mo Ming is undoubtedly the most qualified one.

But it's too early now.

The other party must at least advance to the Dao Lord level before he can be considered a mature fruit.

All he did was to accelerate the growth of the fruit.

Once the other party obtains the identity of a Dao Child and goes to listen to the Dao, after he plunders everything from the other party, he can also inherit the sermons that the other party heard.

This would be of great benefit to him.

……

"That old bastard was definitely up to no good!"

After leaving Mofeng, Hu Qi looked back once.

The emotion that had been on his face had long since faded, and he had returned to normal, with a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Although that old guy Mo Shan concealed it well, he still clearly caught that fleeting glimpse of greed.

Moreover, Hu Qi vaguely sensed that besides Mo Shan, there seemed to be another person hiding in the shadows.

A thought crossed his mind, and he looked inward at himself.

Mo Shan had just planted a hidden mark inside him.

The mark was extremely well hidden; it would be difficult to detect unless one had reached the Dao Fruit Realm and the state of perfect harmony and unobstructed progress of the Great Dao.

But Hu Qi is different.

His essence has long surpassed the fruit of the Tao.

Even without using the crimson panel, one can easily sense the presence of that brand.

However, he did not remove it immediately.

Because now is not the time.

……

At the same time.

In a certain island world not far from the Northern Heavenly Domain.

The world's technology is still in the early stages of gunpowder application, and its level of civilization is very low.

However, most of this land is now shrouded in a layer of black mist, devoid of any life.

Inside those Gothic spires, the surviving humans, upon contact with the black mist, seemed to have all their life force drained away, turning into withered bones.

As far as the eye could see, everything was buried in a thick gray fog.

——Crack!
The sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out.

A creature with four wings on its back, a handsome face, and an angelic appearance had its head bitten off by a giant mouth.

Dark golden blood spurted out, splashing onto the face of a gigantic, upright, lizard-like monster.

The monster narrowed its eyes slightly, curled its long, thin tongue, and swallowed the headless corpse in its hand, a look of satisfaction flashing across its face.

"These creatures aren't very strong, but they do have a unique flavor."

"Alright, brother, stop dawdling!"

A crisp but impatient voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence.

"We've eaten enough blood food. If we don't leave soon, we'll run into those guys again and cause more trouble! We still haven't finished the task our lord assigned us!"

The owner of the voice was actually a pretty little girl.

She sat upright on the shoulder of the grotesque lizard monster, coldly surveying the scene before her, her youthful face displaying a calmness that belied its appearance.

"Okay, I understand!"

Faced with the little girl's impolite tone, the enormous lizard monster not only did not get angry, but also nodded obediently.

"But don't worry, that guy's aura disappeared in this direction. As long as we search in that direction one by one, we're sure to find something!"

"Hmph! Go after them one by one? I think that's just an excuse for you to devour blood food."

If there's a next time, I'll kill you!

The little girl said coldly.

While talking.

Her eyes suddenly turned a cold amber color, and fine scales covered her skin, as if she were wearing a layer of icy armor.

An extremely cold aura, seemingly originating from the abyss, emanated from her body, threatening to freeze everything.

The little girl and the lizard monster were two of the five figures summoned from the giant eye earlier.

I came here solely to search for Hu Qi's whereabouts.

However, Hu Qi used the Distorted Light to conceal his aura.

This resulted in only a general direction being determined.

Now only the two of them remain, and they are clearly searching separately.

I could feel the chill emanating from the little girl.

A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the lizard monster named Ge Shi. He remained silent for a moment and said nothing more.

It suddenly opened its enormous mouth, as if creating an invisible vortex between heaven and earth.

The black mist that filled the surrounding area was immediately drawn in and absorbed, and was completely swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

As the black mist dissipated, the earth below was completely exposed.

It was a scene of utter desolation, where life had been completely cut off, not a blade of grass grew, leaving only a desolate wasteland.

Having done all this, the lizard monster slightly bent its knees, and then...

——Boom!
The ground collapsed, creating a huge crater.

Its form transformed into a black lightning bolt that tore through the sky, carrying the little girl soaring into the heavens and instantly breaking through the celestial barrier of this world before disappearing without a trace.
