Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

The woman's soliloquy echoed beside the silent cliff.

This woman was none other than the Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable of the demon race.

Although he was restricted in some ways, he was still the most carefree and unrestrained of the five celestial beings.

The rest were either powerless to control their own destiny, had fallen into a deep sleep, or had not yet been resurrected.

As for Hongyuan Tianzun, who is also alive, although he has the highest realm and the strongest strength, he is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and has to guard Zixiao Palace and guard the source of Guixu forever, unable to leave even for a moment.

She gently raised her delicate hand and began to calculate with her fingers.

With her abilities, she could have easily glimpsed opportunities in the past and future, and even intervened in the course of events to achieve her desired outcome.

It can be said to be omnipotent.

However, since the anomaly of Guixu, the emergence of the Void Sea has torn apart the Mountain and Sea Boundary.

This led to the unpredictability of heavenly secrets, and with the intervention of Hongyuan Tianzun, the heavenly secrets were disrupted.

Trying to predict the secrets of heaven is even more difficult.

now.

No matter how she calculated, she couldn't get any results.

However, this was within expectations.

Think about this.

She lowered her hand, slightly raised her head, and turned her gaze to the ten blazing suns hanging in the sky.

"Brother, what are your thoughts?"

The voice was clear and melodious, as if it were a soliloquy.

However, in the next instant, one of the suns suddenly shone brightly.

"view?"

A deep voice suddenly rang out.

In the next instant, a heroic and upright figure materialized from the blazing light and appeared beside her.

The newcomer carried a longbow on his back and held a divine spear in his hand. He was shrouded in a hazy golden glow, as if he were the embodiment of the sun.

It was a projection of a wisp of the will of the Heavenly Venerable Haori.

At this moment, they suddenly appeared directly here.

What few people know is that Haori Tianzun himself was also of demon race origin.

In a sense, Jinling and Haori are siblings born from the same origin, and are also the ancestors of all demons in this world.

"Hongyuan, as the Lord of All Paths, was the first to attain the Heavenly Venerable status."

Now, in order to resist the Void Sea, complete the Heavenly Dao, and align with the will of the Heavenly Dao, he has entered the realm of Dao Transformation. His strength has long surpassed ours. Perhaps his actions to disrupt the Heavenly Mandate have their own considerations.

Hao Ri Tianzun paused briefly and shook his head slightly.

"However, just now, when I transformed into ten suns and traveled the world on behalf of Heaven, I did indeed sense a strange movement thanks to the power bestowed upon me by Heaven."

That aura seemed to originate from the Celestial Venerable of Evolution.

At this point, he paused.

The voice became serious.

"Moreover, it seems to involve... the positions of us Celestial Venerables, which could very well be a calamity for us!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Jinling Tianzun's flawless, unblemished face.

"This time, it has even affected us?"

It should be understood that as True Spirits, they are already superior to countless living beings.

But now, even they have been implicated.

It's still a killing spree; doesn't that mean they might perish in it to some extent?

"This is just a fleeting glimpse, and the truth remains to be seen."

But one thing is certain.

This change is inextricably linked to the human race, and it is certainly not a good omen for us.

Hao Ri Tianzun remained calm and composed.

"Another human?"

A hint of coldness crept into Jin Ling's voice.

They seem to have an extreme aversion to humans.

In this heartland.

Although there are many different ethnic groups.

However, apart from the almost completely extinct Wu tribe, those who could rival the demon race were able to compete with the demon race.

Only this human race.

"In my opinion, we should just take action and wipe out the human race completely!"

Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable's voice was clear and crisp, yet his words were filled with chilling killing intent.

"No!"

Hao Ri Tian Zun resolutely rejected it.

“Humans are different from witches. They are still favored by the Heavenly Dao. If we act rashly, we may accelerate the Heavenly Dao’s calamity. Hongyuan may then intervene to stop us.”

"Hongyuan's disruption of the heavenly secrets this time has made its stance clear."

If we insist on doing so, I fear we will anger him, and the consequences could be unpredictable!

"The best approach is to take it one step at a time and see what happens."

Jin Ling paused for a moment.

And what the other party said was correct.

After all, as one of the first five True Spirits born from the chaos, he has lived for an unknown amount of time.

It wasn't without crises during that period.

However, there is no such thing as 'fallen' at the True Spirit level.

At most, it will fall into a deep sleep or return to the mark of the true spirit of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, even knowing that they might encounter a deadly attack, they did not panic.

At worst, we can just wait for Nirvana.

This is an advantage that they cannot replace.

……

At the deepest part of the twelve layers of the spiritual realm lies a place of reincarnation called the Underworld, which bears the cycle of life and death of all beings in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.

Countless points of light from souls converge into a vast nebula, slowly flowing like a silent tide.

The specks of light kept disappearing into the pure white expanse at the center of the nebula, as if returning to eternal silence.

suddenly.

The once vast and swirling nebula paused slightly.

A will emerged, transforming into a hazy figure.

The figure looked up and gazed at a certain spot.

"It'll be over soon..."

The figure flickered for a moment, then quietly disappeared.

It was as if it had never appeared.

……

Apocalyptic world, boundless starry sky.

Hu Qi was naturally unaware of all this.

At this moment, the light from the Eye of Truth on his forehead quietly faded, and the dark gold cloud pattern disappeared.

He has seen through everything.

To his surprise, things progressed unexpectedly smoothly, rendering his many backup plans completely useless.

As his thoughts raced, he looked up.

Ahead, Zhang Yi, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, had opened them at some point.

Strangely, countless intricate golden patterns appeared on his face, and his aura suddenly changed, becoming as deep as the sea. It was the will of the Evolutionary Celestial Venerable, which had awakened on his body at some unknown time.

Clearly, it was because of Hu Qi that the will of the Celestial Venerable of Evolution was revived.

"I never imagined that I would be forced to this point by a junior."

The Celestial Venerable of Evolution spoke.

He gazed at Hu Qi, his tone calm and even, devoid of his previous anger, but instead carrying a hint of appreciation.

"Not at all, I was the one who offended you this time!"

Hu Qi smiled slightly and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

He did not detect any hostility from the other party.

According to the intelligence gathered, this Celestial Venerable of Evolution was originally a human who attained enlightenment, making him one of the most humane Celestial Venerables.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to go and teach the human race.

Although Huqi is not human, and can no longer be considered human.

However, if the other party's information is true, this Celestial Venerable of Evolution might not be so petty.

Moreover, given the other party's current state, it's uncertain whether they can actually defeat him.

Not to mention that he possesses the Eternal Ring talent, which in some ways also grants him immortality.

There is absolutely no fear.

"Hehe, that's your skill. I'm not that petty."

"The Celestial Venerable of Evolution said calmly."

At this point, he changed the subject and asked.

"So you want to advance to True Spirit? Now that you've seen the truth, do you... feel even more desperate?"

His tone was as if he were stating an irrefutable fact, without any hint of sarcasm.

Hu Qi's smile faded.

"Does the Celestial Venerable have a solution?"

"Unable."

The Celestial Venerable of Evolution shook his head.

"If breaking through to the True Spirit level were really that easy, there wouldn't have been only the five of us for so many years."

This is predetermined and cannot be changed.

So you'd better not waste your energy.

"If you don't do it, success or failure is just empty talk; if you do it, you will have no regrets even if you fail."

Heavenly Venerable One, have you forgotten? There is a saying in this world: "Man proposes, God disposes!"

Hu Qi remained calm.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Venerable of Evolution softly repeated those four words.

"Everything depends on human effort..."

His gaze shifted to Hu Qi, a barely perceptible hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, before he smiled.

"That's true, it was I who... got caught up in the illusion."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed, making a sweeping motion in the air.

As his fingertips passed over him, shimmering light intertwined and coalesced into a warm, luminous glow that floated quietly before Hu Qi. "Keep this safe; it can protect you in a critical moment."

Hu Qi clearly sensed the profound power contained within the ball of light, and his mind trembled slightly.

He paused for a moment, realizing that the previous exchange had been a deliberate act of deliberation by his opponent.

Otherwise, even if the other party has not been fully resurrected, it is impossible for it to be only at that level.

Thinking of this, he reached out and grasped the ball of light in his palm.

--laugh!

With a soft sound, the ball of light dissipated, and a straight "人" (human) character mark appeared in the palm!
"Thank you, Lord!"

Hu Qi's eyes flickered slightly as he saw that the other party was so easy to talk to.

He immediately had a thought.

"Does the Celestial Venerable know whether there are other realms beyond the True Spirit level?"

"After the True Spirit level?"

The Celestial Venerable of Evolution raised an eyebrow.

"You must already have a good understanding of the True Spirit level. The power of the True Spirit level has even surpassed that of the Great Dao itself."

It's a rule where "I am the rule," and theoretically, no living being can break through this upper limit.

Upon hearing this, Hu Qi didn't take it to heart.

Then the second question was asked.

"Then what is the Void Sea?"

"The Void Sea? That's just another side of the world."

The Celestial Venerable of Evolution shook his head.

Not much explanation.

Hu Qi wanted to ask something else.

But it seemed that the Celestial Venerable of Evolution had anticipated this all along.

"Alright, you'll find out what happens when the time is right. If you can't advance to True Spirit, knowing too much won't do you any good!"

Say it.

He closed his eyes, and the golden patterns flowing around his body gradually faded away, returning to calm.

"This problem in time and space will require your help to solve."

"It's natural."

Hu Qi nodded slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery shattered.

When the two reappeared, they were already standing in the sky above the Xia Kingdom.

Hu Qi took a step forward, and the void behind him trembled, revealing a majestic silver-white Dharma image that blotted out the sky.

That moment.

No matter where you are, even if you live on the far side of the planet.

They all saw the enormous silver figure emerge in the sky.

It gives a different feeling than monsters.

This figure carried a terrifying pressure that transcended the level of life.

"This... has the divine intervention occurred?!"

Everyone, whether ordinary people or evolved beings wielding great power, knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

next second.

The giant slowly raised his hand, and a ball of extremely dazzling white light gathered in his palm.

White light is the concentrated power of thought, penetrating to a level even more subtle than atoms.

--boom! ! !

A blazing white light swept across the heavens and earth, permeating everything.

The mist and monsters within it, like dewdrops exposed to the scorching sun, crumbled and vanished.

The light pierced through all obstacles and was unstoppable.

After a few breaths, the white light gradually faded.

The thick fog that once shrouded the world and the rampaging monsters have all vanished, as if they had never existed.

"It's happened here!"

After doing all this.

Hu Qi turned to look at Zhang Yi on the side.

He has now returned to normal, his eyes filled with confusion and shock.

It is clear that the will of the Celestial Venerable of Evolution has left.

Seeing this, Hu Qi stopped communicating with him.

His figure disintegrated, shattering like grains of sand.

Zhang Yi stared blankly at this scene.

As a peak seventh-tier evolver.

His perception was far beyond that of ordinary people; at this moment, he clearly sensed that the power of the apocalypse was rapidly disappearing completely.

Including the undying hope within him.

In a way, this thing is also part of the monster category.

However, given his current level of life, the loss of just one heart wouldn't have a significant impact on him.

"Thank you!"

A hint of warmth rose in his eyes.

Because he clearly sensed that Hu Qi's aura was rapidly dissipating and leaving this world.

In his view, Hu Qi seemed to have sacrificed his own life to end the apocalypse.

The misunderstanding about Zhang Yi.

Hu Qi naturally didn't offer an explanation.

His wisp of consciousness rapidly departed.

The space and time before him kept shrinking.

But at this moment.

This space-time period has completely frozen.

Then, the flow reversed, all traces were erased, and the process began to reset.

This time.

The timeline of this location has been corrected.

Zhang Yi's memories will also be erased.

The final image left in Hu Qi's eyes was a distorted, swirling mass of colors.

……

In some boundless, unknown space.

The faint light transformed into the figure of the Celestial Venerable of Evolution.

He was looking in a certain direction.

chuckled.

"I never expected that this person would be a descendant of my human race."

"It's all up to human effort... I hope you can do it!"

……

The core place.

Human territory, Cloud-Connecting City.

Inside a hotel.

Hu Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

Raise your palms.

A human-shaped mark appeared on it.

It was precisely that method used by the Celestial Venerable of Evolution.

Unexpectedly, it actually affected his physical body.

"As expected of a True Spirit level cultivator, they actually saw through a trace of my abilities!"

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

Although his true form is the Taiyu Snake.

But tracing back to its origins, its essence is actually the same as that of a human being, and perhaps that is why.

The other party had been so kind to me.

Furthermore, this mark is not indelible; it may appear as a trace, but it is more like an ornament worn on the wrist, only with a different outward appearance.

Think of this.

With a thought, he summoned the control panel.

My gaze swept over the status section.

Everything was normal, with nothing unusual.

After a moment's hesitation, he did not choose to remove it immediately.

With a mere wave of his hand, he temporarily sealed it away.

He then began to sort out the mysteries he had just learned about the True Spirit level.

After a while.

A strange look appeared on Hu Qi's face.

"So that's how it is... To reach the True Spirit level, one must first condense a True Spirit Imprint and entrust it to the origin of the Heavenly Dao before one can advance?"

Under normal circumstances, after such a long period of time, even if advancing to the True Spirit level is extremely difficult, with such a large pool of participants, there should be one or two successful individuals.

After all, no matter how small the probability, given the vast number of people involved, it will eventually happen over time.

However, based on the information he knew, the core of the problem lay in...

To become a true spirit, one must first condense the Dao Fruit, from which a point of ultimate pure Yang spirit is born.

A practitioner must forge a true spiritual imprint in the deepest part of their consciousness.

This mark is the absolute coordinate of its existence. As long as the mark remains, even if the physical body, soul, and even the timeline are completely erased, it can still return from the definition of the law by virtue of this mark.

This is precisely the source of the immortality and indestructibility of True Spirits.

But the key point is that the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm can only support a maximum of five True Spirits.

This means that the number of places for True Spirits is fixed.

If he wants to join this group, he must replace one of them.

However, precisely because True Spirits have already entrusted their True Spirits to the Origin of Heaven, they are eternal and indestructible, and cannot be killed at all.

Therefore, it is equivalent to an unsolvable infinite loop.

This is also why the Celestial Venerable of Evolution asked that question before. (End of Chapter)
