Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 145 The Power of Immortal Qi: Daoist Subduing Spirit (He's advanced again, definitely not downgraded)

Jing Qian raised his hand and caught the two incomparably precious [Immortal Qi] without uttering a word.

He still had some lingering excitement from the intense battle, not yet fully digested!

In this great battle, he severely beat up a super-rich second-generation heir, fully verified his own combat power, and even experienced the power of the [Ren Chong] sword energy in the illusion. Everything was very perfect and extremely enjoyable.

In particular, throughout this whole process, the top-ranked fan spent a lot of money to pay to be beaten up!
He felt that the trip to the Heavenly Dragon Palace couldn't have been more perfect.

He just opened his mouth and said:
"【Tianlongzi】You are generous and open-minded. I, Chixiao, will be your friend."

"Whenever you need to spar, you can come to me. I'll be there whenever you call."

Being able to spar with the top-ranked player is the most important thing.

But then the Heavenly Dragon Prince shook his head and said:

“Unless Daozi can personally ascend the [Mountain of Immortal Qi], without the guidance of the Dragon Emperor’s decree, I have no ability to bring you to the [Heavenly Dragon Palace].

"The ceremony time has come to an end. We'll meet again someday."

"I will definitely cultivate diligently, and I hope that when we meet again, I can fight Daozi to my heart's content."

After saying this, Ao Bao bowed and said goodbye.

Jing Qian returned the greeting in a rather formal manner. Then, his divine consciousness was drawn by a unique and mysterious force and fell into the mortal world.

This unique journey has left him with many thoughts, and he is about to go back and process them properly.

After Jing Qian left, Ao Bao, who had originally looked innocent and naive, slowly changed his expression.

At this moment, the boy had a serious, adult-like demeanor, completely different from how he had acted in front of Jing Qian just moments before.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman in elegant palace attire stepped out from behind him and spoke to him:
"Little brother, did you succeed?"

Ao Bao shook his head and did not reply.

The beautiful woman looked surprised and then said:

"The Pure Yang lineage has fallen into utter ruin. This Pure Yang Master doesn't look very old, and his cultivation is even a level lower than yours. How could he not succeed?"

Faced with his older sister's persistent questioning, Ao Bao said dejectedly:
"This [Chunyangzi] had gathered a sword aura of a great cultivator in his hand. My [Lingji] could not withstand it and was cut down by his sword."

The beautiful dragon goddess's expression also became more serious, and she spoke:
"Meeting this [Chunyangzi] was unexpected. It's understandable that I wasn't prepared enough and failed to seize the opportunity."

"However, Xiaoyaozi is already on his way. You need to be more cautious and strive for victory."

"If we still can't plant mirror images of sufficient quality this time, then we'll have to settle for second best."

"Yes, elder sister!"

When it came to his own path, Ao Bao was extremely focused.

It turns out that the true form of this "Heavenly Dragon Son" Ao Bao is an extremely rare "Mirror Dragon" with a unique "Destiny" blessing.

In battle, he can perfectly replicate the enemy's mirror image, and this mirror image's cultivation and combat power are almost indistinguishable from the enemy's original body, making it extremely powerful.

Just now, if he had actively copied the avatar of [Chunyangzi], Jing Qian would have been in a tough battle and would not have won so easily.

However, for the Mirror Dragon, its most important supernatural power is not in combat.

Each time Ao Bao advances in cultivation, he can establish a natal image within his sea of ​​consciousness.

This mirror image may be a gift from a blood relative or the possession of a defeated enemy.

Each fundamental image can bring tremendous blessings to Ao Bao's cultivation, making it a self-contained little cheat code.

The effect of the mirror image is related to the original body's cultivation talent. Therefore, in the first three stages, Ao Bao obtained mirror images given by the [Heavenly Ancestral Dragon], the [Eternal Dragon Mother], and his older sister, the [Soul Dragon], maximizing their quality.

However, once he reached the [Spirit Subduing] rank, he had no direct blood relatives left, so he could only rely on absorbing the mirror images of defeated enemies to perfect his cultivation.

However, this stumped Ao Bao!
For Tianlongzi, every fundamental image is of utmost importance, and he strives for perfection in every one of them.

However, in the vast void, it is by no means easy to find a suitable opponent at the level of a Dao Child, to fight and defeat them, to make them admit defeat wholeheartedly, and to give birth to a fundamental mirror image!
He thought that meeting Chunyangzi was a stroke of good fortune that would lead him to enlightenment, but he never imagined that he himself was the one who had the opportunity.

……

In the vast Dragon Palace of the Yingfu Pagoda Realm, the four great cultivators enjoyed a leisurely tour of the Immortal Qi Mountain, reaping a rich harvest.

In particular, Ao Run has completed all the procedures for the Dragon Emperor's pardon and has obtained the title of "Dragon Emperor of the Vast Ocean," which is crucial to her cultivation.

When she returned to the present world and looked back at the vast ocean, it was like her own backyard.

Under normal circumstances, she could serve as the Dragon Emperor for at least tens of thousands of years, continuing until she advanced to the second rank.

She will also possess the wealth and resources of the entire vast ocean, which will become the best aid for her cultivation.

She invested a second-grade Yin Sword and a precious grotto-heaven with Chunyangzi in exchange for his help, which can be described as an extremely worthwhile deal.

However, Ao Run's gains will be realized in the more distant future. In the present, her gains are completely incomparable to those of Lord Chunyangzi.

When Jing Qian's soul returned to the mortal world carrying two [Tuoyuan Bone-Born Milang Immortal Qi] condensed by the Dragon Mother, it was immediately knocked over by the two [Immortal Qi] that were erupting wildly in front of it.

Without the suppression of the [Mountain of Immortal Qi], the two Dragon Mother [Immortal Qi] seemed to be trapped dragons ascending to heaven, completely liberated, as if they were about to come back to life and transform into true dragons to devour Jing Qian.

Jing Qian wasn't afraid of the [Immortal Qi] causing trouble at all, but what he couldn't accept was that the [Immortal Qi] actually tried to break free from his control and escape.

Such precious magical power, even if only a trace of it is lost, is like digging out Jing Qian's heart's blood.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his full power, fully expanding his [Saintly Form].

He barely managed to control the avatar of the Sage of Sumeru, capturing the dragon with one hand, before escaping into the [Void Realm] and completely disappearing from the mortal world.

But the next second, an extremely powerful force manifested in the [Yingfu Pagoda Realm], attracted by the [Immortal Qi], and rushed towards this place.

These magical powers manifested in real forms, one of which was the [Wuchang Ghost Emperor], clad in black robes and wearing a golden crown.

Another statue depicts an elderly fisherman in a straw raincoat and bamboo basket.

There is also a chubby little whale called Kunpeng.

The last one is a golden-haired, blue-eyed six-eared macaque.

These four are all seasoned veterans stationed in the Yingfu Pagoda Realm, and they are also the ones who crave the Dragon Mother's Immortal Qi the most.

The Immortal Qi in Jing Qian's hands manifested in the mortal world for only a few brief moments, yet four second-rank powerful beings gathered before the gates of the Vast Sea Dragon Palace like jackals smelling meat.

Fortunately, Jing Qian managed to hide in time and enter the depths of his own cave. Otherwise, even with his powerful background as a direct descendant of the Dao Ancestor, he would not have been able to resist the thirst of several powerful beings for Immortal Qi.

After all, the four second-rank cultivators in front of the Dragon Palace were only cultivating [Golden Immortal Spiritual Qi], and had not yet broken through the thousand layers of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

For these four second-rank experts, their cultivation had long since reached a bottleneck where progress was extremely difficult.

If they could truly obtain a wisp of "Immortal Qi," it would be of immense benefit to their cultivation.

However, arriving too late, the four powerful figures could only look at each other in bewilderment, at a loss for what to do.

……

Within the [Virtual Realm], an extremely vast wave of primordial energy stirred up an endless frenzy in this small domain.

Above the two streams of [Immortal Qi], the scattered primordial energy, almost tangible, collided violently, like two armies facing off, with a fierce killing intent permeating the air.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Amidst this surge of primordial energy, Jing Qian summoned the [Sage Appearance], which was frantically absorbing the boundless [Immortal Qi].

The black jade longsword in his hand, like a heavy hammer, struck the [Saint's Image] again and again, producing a sound like muffled thunder.

He was using the Immortal Sword Embryo to hone his Saintly Appearance, squeezing out the purest Immortal Qi with all his might, and converting it into his own magical power as much as possible.

His [Blue Blood Life Essence] surged at an incredible speed, surpassing its previous level many times over.

Jing Qian dared not stop for a moment, because once these two streams of [Tuoyuan Bone-Born Milang Immortal Qi] entered the [Void Realm], they were like wild horses that had broken free of his control.

The two [Immortal Qi] that clearly originated from the same source began to wear each other down and attack each other, as if they were mortal enemies.

And a massive amount of primordial energy fragments spread out within the [Virtual Realm].

Jing Qian felt extremely distressed. Before long, these two strands of [Immortal Qi] would be completely shattered. He dared not stop for a moment and could only use all his strength to quickly absorb and digest them.

During this process, the Three Lives Eye between his eyebrows was in full fire, frantically devouring the Longevity Dragon Mother's insights into the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi.

He has a clear sense that when he returns to the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi, he will surely achieve an amazing breakthrough!
This first-rank dragon mother has comprehended more than 2,500 layers of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi], which means that the total amount of her [Immortal Qi] is more than a hundred times that of ordinary quality [Immortal Spiritual Qi].

At this very moment, Jing Qian's rapidly increasing [Blue Blood Life Essence] cultivation level has just broken through 32,000, and it is still growing rapidly.

The weakest of the weakest [Minor Immortal Spiritual Qi], which was formed by breaking through the tenth layer of [Primordial Qi Sea], has a magical power capacity that can be equivalent to ten [Fire Flames], one hundred [Golden Root Life Essence], one thousand [Purple Eye Life Essence], and ten thousand [Blue Blood Life Essence].

Jing Qian's cultivation level of "Life Essence" was over a thousand times higher than that of a normal seventh-grade "Longevity" cultivator, meaning his magical power capacity was no less than that of a "Star-Picking" demon like the "Mud-Carrying Dragon".

With a seventh-grade cultivation level, he is comparable to the great demon [Star-Picking], which shows how profound his potential is.

For cultivation after "Picking Stars", the only way to improve the quality of one's "Immortal Spiritual Qi" is to break through the layers of the "Sea of ​​Primordial Qi".

If we take the [Minor Immortal Spiritual Energy] that has just broken through to the tenth level as a base number, the total amount of mana that a cultivator's [Immortal Spiritual Energy] can hold will increase by one base number for every ten levels a cultivator advances.

In other words, when a cultivator breaks through the hundredth layer of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] and condenses the [Golden Immortal Spiritual Qi], their mana capacity is exactly ten base numbers.

When a cultivator breaks through the thousand layers of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] and condenses [Immortal Qi], their magical power capacity can reach over one hundred base numbers.

Upon reaching the level of [Tuoyuan Bone Pregnancy and Milang Immortal Qi] condensed by the Dragon Mother, and breaking through the 2,500 layers of [Original Qi Sea], its magical power capacity reached a full 250 base numbers.

If a Dragon Mother's [Immortal Qi] were to be transformed into Jing Qian's [Blue Blood Life Essence], that would be an astronomical number of two and a half million!

In other words, each of the [Heavenly Dragon Seeds], which are used as daily sustenance, is a crystal of [Immortal Qi] and contains nearly a hundred times the full power of Jing Qian's cultivation.

Moreover, this is merely a simple quantitative conversion and cannot adequately describe the profound and sublime nature of [Immortal Qi].

After all, without the intervention of the [Eternal Dragon Mother], let alone 2.5 million [Blue Blood Life Essence], even if the number were doubled, it would be absolutely impossible to condense a [Celestial Qi].

This sublime status is reflected in Jingqian's cultivation as an extremely high efficiency of transformation.

Normally, absorbing seven or eight streams of [Blue Blood Life Flame] might not be enough to cultivate even one [Life Essence] of mana; it can only be nurtured slowly with a massive amount of resources. But this Dragon Mother's [Immortal Qi] has a mana conversion efficiency that is almost two to one.

Therefore, the two [Immortal Qi] in front of Jing Qian can be considered the most important opportunity he has ever obtained in his cultivation so far.

The terrifying [Immortal Qi], hundreds of times greater than his own magical power, was enough for him to truly cultivate his magical power to its limit.

Jing Qian kept his cultivation at the [Longevity] level in order to maximize the efficiency of accumulating magical power and make the most of the precious materials he had painstakingly accumulated.

However, the resources he accumulated from sweeping across the entire vast ocean, capturing dragons and slaying demons, plundering precious materials, and extracting [Life Fire] were less than a single cent of [Immortal Qi].

Right now, he clearly realized that a perfect opportunity that could save him at least several decades of cultivation time had presented itself before him.

As long as he can withstand the pressure and fully absorb the magical power transformed from the [Immortal Qi], he won't need to worry about cultivating magical power for a long time to come!

However, compressing decades of magical cultivation into a very short period of time is extremely difficult.

If Jing Qian hadn't possessed the two great treasures, the Immortal Sword Embryo and the Sage's Appearance, there would have been absolutely no way he could have achieved this miracle!
He kept slashing with his sword, constantly absorbing the essence of the [Saint's Appearance]'s magical power, like a tireless blacksmith forging a precious sword that had been refined a hundred times.

During this process, the profound essence of the [Immortal Qi] was also extracted, and his consciousness gradually became immersed in it.

Jingqian fell into a rather strange state of sudden enlightenment.

He seemed to have transformed into a tool that only knew how to chop and slash, but within his sea of ​​consciousness, there was a raging storm that never stopped.

……

On the deserted island, Luo Tian was completely bewildered!
His turtle soup was already ready.

The seventeen top-notch dishes, including "one shrimp prepared in nine ways" and "one crab prepared in eight ways," have been cooked, plated, and beautifully displayed.

But where are my guests?
Daozi clearly said he would return within three days, but more than a month has passed since then, and he still hasn't seen anyone.

As a top-notch culinary team, 【Zao Wang Dian】 naturally has secret methods for preserving the freshness of food.

Luo Tian desperately squeezed out his magical power, transforming it into a huge magical shield that enveloped the table of delicious dishes.

Each dish is kept in its most perfect state.

However, the consumption of magical power was considerable, forcing Luo Tian into an awkward situation.

All I can do is relentlessly push myself to the limit.

……

A full month had passed when Jing Qian awoke from his first epiphany!

His [Blue Blood Life Essence] cultivation level has officially broken through 100,000.

This was a huge leap forward that he had never imagined.

The events of the past month have become somewhat hazy, as if they have left no trace in his mind.

However, Jingqian also clearly knew that his understanding of magic power and vital energy had reached a new level.

In one month, he swung the [Immortal Sword Embryo] at least a million times.

The mutual tempering between the [Immortal Sword Embryo] and the [Sage Image] has led to significant progress for both.

Especially the [Immortal Sword Embryo], under the [Immortal Qi], its refining speed is qualitatively improved, and the [Fate] of the entire sword increases by a full ounce.

At this point, the [Sumeru Immortal Sword Embryo]'s life force of one tael and six mace is already enough to suppress a [Heavenly Mandate]!

Without hesitation, Jing Qian guided the [Invisible Sword] destiny that he had prepared long ago towards it.

The two merged instantly, becoming completely indistinguishable!
At this point, Jing Qian's [Immortal Sword Embryo] finally transformed into his natal spiritual energy, which also signifies that the refining of the sword embryo has finally reached a crucial juncture!
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the [Immortal Sword Embryo], which he had previously only held in his hand as a melee weapon, into a beam of light and slashed towards the [Saintly Image]!

He finally broke through the limitation of attack range once again, going from being bad at close combat to being able to cut through ten feet with his sword.

For him, wielding the [Immortal Sword Embryo] and controlling the sword light within a ten-zhang radius was already a tremendous improvement!
However, this was only the beginning of his digestion of the [Immortal Qi]!
All the progress he has made so far has not even caused a decrease in the density of primordial energy in the [Virtual Realm].

At this moment, with a cultivation level of 100,000 [Blue Blood Life Essence], he was still far from the cultivation limit. He continued to frantically unleash [Immortal Sword Embryo] and entered the next stage of cultivation.

……

Within the [Void Realm], Jing Qian was not the only one who enjoyed the benefits of this top-tier [Immortal Qi].

Not far from him, below the [Furnace of Sumeru], a little black cat floated in ecstasy, having long forgotten its own name.

It embraced one of the legs of the [Life Stove], and was filled with boundless primordial energy, turning it into a madman's thread.

However, the [First Protector of Jambudvipa, the Great God] was much more relaxed.

Of the three present, [Good Corn] is the one closest to the Dragon Mother's [Immortal Qi] rank.

That's precisely why it received the most inspiration!
Originally, [Good Corn] was newly created and only had a base amount of [Little Fairy Spiritual Energy], which was quite poor.

With the help of the Dragon Mother's magical aura, its [little fairy spiritual energy] is breaking through to the top layer by layer!

As of now, it has reached the thirty-fifth floor of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi]!

Possessing three base units of [Fairy Spiritual Energy], it is equivalent to tripling one's magical power cultivation.

It is precisely through this opportunity that we can discern the closeness and distance of relationships.

Among Jing Qian's followers, only his two closest confidants, Lingji, the "Heretical Moon," were worthy to share the "Immortal Qi" with him.

……

More than half a month later, Jing Qian's [Life Essence] cultivation level reached 150,000.

This is equivalent to 15 base units of [Fairy Spiritual Energy].

The fate of the [Immortal Sword Embryo] increased by another three coins, reaching one tael and nine coins.

At this moment, only one-tenth of the [Immortal Qi] has been depleted.

Jing Qian's magical power seems to be nearing its limit!
Possessing a [Destiny] grants one a mana vacancy of ten thousand [Blue Blood Life Essence].

This was the first time in all his years of cultivation that he had truly touched the limit of his own magical power.

If it were someone else, they might sigh at how difficult spiritual practice is and be content with their own practice.

But for Jing Qian, with his lifespan not yet exhausted and his fate incomplete, the Mandate of Heaven was something he could easily obtain.

He already had a comprehensive plan in mind!
Since our magical power is almost at its limit, while external resources are still plentiful, let's break through the limit and start another round!
He sank his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness and descended before the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele]. A [Sword Cage] destiny was placed on it, triggering a long-lost [Knowledge of Destiny].

In an instant, another swordsmanship [Destiny] was born:

[Destiny: Heavenly Court of Swords]

[Position: Destiny]

Heavenly Court and Earthly Gate, Golden Palace and Jade Chamber. A hundred gods guard, and all spirits surround.

Preserve the profound and mysterious, and perceive the boundless void.

At the same time, the maximum limit of 10,000 [Life Essence] mana was increased.

He can continue to absorb [Immortal Qi] to increase his cultivation level.

But this is certainly not his limit!
With 12 taels and 4 mace of "fate" combined with the ten "spiritual opportunities," Jing Qian only managed to occupy 8 taels and 6 mace of "fate" after absorbing a full twenty "heavenly mandates."

He still has a shortfall of 3.8 taels, which allows him to continue improving!
He then poured the [String Severing] destiny into the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele] once more, sacrificing sixty years of his lifespan and triggering the [Knowledge of Heaven's Mandate].

Another sword technique with the void attribute, [Destiny], has quietly been born:

【Destiny Type: Void and Open】

[Position: Destiny]

In the beginning of time, heaven and earth were created, and the sun, moon, and stars shone throughout the universe!

With the acquisition of the twenty-first [Destiny], Jing Qian's magical power limit was easily pushed to over 210,000.

This is the true method of a Daoist master; even the infusion of [Immortal Qi] magic power cannot keep up with the increase in the upper limit of magic power.

What an incredible opportunity and strength!

The birth of 【Void Opening】 reduced Jing Qian's 【Destiny】gap by another three qian, bringing it down to three liang and five qian.

Currently, apart from the [Flesh Bud] and [Tide] Destiny, all of his [Destiny] have reached the [Heavenly Mandate] level.

However, the crucial moment has not yet arrived, and Jingqian has no immediate plans to improve these two [fate attributes].

This means that, after a long time, he once again has the need to forge a new [Destiny].

And this was naturally something he had already planned for!
The Pure Yang Refining Immortal Sword Dao Book records an extremely special sword Dao [Destiny].

This [Destiny] not only provides combat power, but is also an extremely rare [Destiny] for forging swords.

Possessing such a sword-forging [fate], if used properly, can directly enhance the grade and spirituality of one's spiritual energy, which is normally an essential attribute for a swordsman.

However, the prerequisites for refining this [Sword Tomb] destiny are not simple.

According to the [Pure Yang Heaven] secret method, in order to refine the [Sword Tomb] destiny, a high-grade [Spiritual Energy] needs to be completely reforged and recreated, allowing this [Spiritual Energy] to be nurtured within the [Sword Tomb].

Until the [Spiritual Ability] is born, it is naturally suppressed by the [Sword Tomb] and can be greatly enhanced.

Only by killing one of the [Spiritual Sword] treasures can the Tomb of Buried Swords be forged.

At this crucial moment of advancement, Jing Qian did not hesitate to completely destroy the [Yin Sword], which he had just obtained but had not yet successfully reforged, using the secret method in the [Taoist Book]!
An extremely fierce sword aura burst forth from the [Yin Sword], and was then guided to envelop the remains of the [Yin Sword], turning them into a tomb.

Jing Qian was inspired and absorbed it into his own sea of ​​consciousness, thus giving birth to a [Destiny] of the [Purple Eyes] rank.

But before he could study it carefully, he pushed this "fate" onto the "Mount Sumeru Stele".

Destroying a second-grade [Spiritual Energy] is enough for him to easily reforge [Sword Tomb] ten times.

As he refined this [Destiny] to its peak and prepared to activate the [Knowledge of Destiny], his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly underwent a dramatic change!
Within that vast [Blue Blood Life Essence], a [Purple Eye Life Essence] was naturally born.

His foundation was too deep, and the advancement of [Fu Ling] could no longer be suppressed, and it officially began!
