Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 228 The Heavenly Divine Power Has Been Accomplished, and the Body of Manifestation of Heaven and Earth Has Becomes as One Wish

It's not really considered taking a shortcut.

Instead, it was suggested that the pain during the fourth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was several times greater than that during the third stage, and that living beings could not endure it through sheer willpower alone.

At this point, you can wait until your cultivation reaches the Five Qi Realm before attempting to cultivate the fourth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

When one reaches the Five Qi Realm, five qi are generated within the chest. After cultivating the fourth stage and inscribing the Five Elements Refining Array, one can use the five qi within the chest to replace the external five elements qi attracted by the Five Elements Refining Array.

In this way, by using the five elements within the chest instead of the five elements from the outside world, the pain generated during the refining process will be greatly reduced.

The final result is exactly the same.

Seeing this, Liu Qing decided to temporarily stop cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and wait until he reached the Five Qi Realm before starting the cultivation of the fourth revolution.

Otherwise, the pain, several times more intense than the third stage, might be unbearable even if one were to take turns enduring it.

In any case, his physical defense is already strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, even without activating his perfect thick armor talent.

If the perfect-level Thick Armor talent is also activated, it is estimated that it can ignore mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures, and in terms of defense, it can almost reach the level of the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

In terms of defense, it is currently sufficient.

In terms of strength, it has reached 500,000 jin. Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique will increase strength far beyond that of the Dragon Elephant Pill. If one were to consume the Dragon Elephant Pill to increase strength to this extent, one would probably need to consume four or five thousand of them.

Even if you killed all the dragons and serpents in the Wei River, you probably still couldn't refine that many Dragon Elephant Pills.

Moreover, the Dragon Elephant Pill increases strength too slowly; each pill can only increase strength by a hundred jin, which is barely better than nothing for him now.

Fortunately, there is a sixth-grade pill that also increases strength, called the "Ten Thousand Dragons Pill". Each pill can increase strength by 500 jin after being swallowed.

Moreover, the increase in strength by 500 jin is not fixed; the higher the grade of the main ingredient used in refining the pill, the greater the increase in strength.

Assuming Liu Qing uses vipers and dragons as the main ingredients to refine the Myriad Dragon Pill, the increase in strength is only 500 jin. However, if he uses a dragon as the main ingredient, each pill can increase strength by up to 1,000 jin.

If a real dragon were used as the main ingredient in alchemy, a single pill could increase one's strength by ten thousand jin.

Liu Qing decided that when he had time, he would carefully study the formula for the Myriad Dragon Pill.

This elixir formula was obtained by Liu Qing from the Great King of Inspiration, and it should have been passed down from Guanyin of the South Sea.

With a physical body possessing 500,000 jin of divine strength, Liu Qing wondered if the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone would be suitable for him. He picked up the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone and casually swung it a few times.

The result of this attempt surprised Liu Qing. After the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone devoured several innate spiritual materials and many acquired spiritual materials, its own weight also increased significantly, which was just right for Liu Qing's current strength.

Liu Qing casually swung his sword, and the ghostly wails and howls on the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone became even more ear-piercing, shaking the opponent's mind with even greater power. At the same time, the innate killing aura contained in the treasure itself became even more terrifying.

In general, as it absorbs more innate and acquired spiritual materials, the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, although not yet upgraded in grade, has increased significantly in weight and power.

Liu Qing was relieved. Having a suitable spiritual treasure was a rare and precious thing, capable of boosting one's combat power several times over.

Having tested the compatibility between his own combat power and the spiritual treasure, and having come to the end of his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, Liu Qing then focused his energy on cultivating the Shangqing Immortal Technique and the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Technique.

The body contains 256 divided spirits, each split in two: one half is used to comprehend and cultivate the Shangqing Immortal Technique, and the other half is used to comprehend the Tiangang and Disha Techniques.

When I was cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique before, I had some focus on comprehending the Shangqing Immortal Technique and the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Technique, but I didn't put my main energy into them. Now that I have all my energy, my efficiency has increased several times in an instant.

Ten days later, Liu Qing comprehended the basics of the Shangqing Immortal Technique and began to try to circulate the Shangqing Immortal Technique and absorb the surrounding free-floating spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Concentrating his mind and forming hand seals, he silently recited the Shangqing Immortal Mantra. His divine power circulated within his body, and instantly he felt his pores open, with countless streams of spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushing into his body as if in worship.

Although they all surged in at once, they remained orderly. These spiritual energies of heaven and earth seemed to line up on their own, transforming themselves into the source energy of heaven and earth in a tense but orderly manner, before merging into Liu Qing's authority and divine power.

The power of authority began to grow at a visible speed, and as it grew, Liu Qing's original golden-purple divine power slowly turned into the most noble purple in the Three Realms.

This is due to the Shangqing Immortal Technique. As the most advanced cultivation method in the Three Realms, the divine power cultivated by the Shangqing Immortal Technique is naturally the most noble purple.

In ancient times, the magical power cultivated by the Shangqing Immortal Technique was called Immortal Power. However, now that the Heavenly Court is in power, everyone is used to calling it Divine Power of Authority. The name has changed, but the essence remains the same. It is still the foundation of cultivating both body and mind.

[Realm Level: Dharma Realm 12%]

[Realm Level: Dharma Realm 13%]
The efficiency of improving one's cultivation level simply by using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed through the Shangqing Immortal Technique is no less than continuously consuming low-grade river treasures.

Liu Qing was speechless.

This Shangqing Immortal Technique truly lives up to its reputation as the most advanced cultivation method in the Three Realms. With such a technique, even if one only engages in seclusion and arduous cultivation, the improvement in one's cultivation level is no less than that achieved by consuming rare and precious treasures.

Moreover, during this cultivation process, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters in an orderly manner and automatically merges with it, requiring no effort from the cultivator to refine it. One only needs to focus their attention on the cultivation technique. Such effortless cultivation is simply too comfortable. No wonder ancient cultivators could go into seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years at a time. If it weren't for the many karmic entanglements that prevented him from going into seclusion for an extended period, Liu Qing would have truly wanted to go into seclusion until he reached the peak of the Dharma Realm before emerging.

Cultivating this Shangqing Immortal Technique can be addictive.

A month later, Liu Qing reluctantly stopped cultivating.

[Realm Level: Dharma Realm 33%]

In just one month of cultivation, he had advanced his realm to the peak of the early stage of the Dharma Realm. This efficiency was simply astonishing.

If one were to consume spiritual medicines or pills to reach such a level, it would likely require hundreds of spiritual pills or rare treasures.

Now, by simply circulating his cultivation technique to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he has already achieved such progress, saving hundreds of spirit pills without even realizing it.

The rest was essentially free, and free things should be used to avoid waste. While resting, Liu Qing drank Monkey Spirit Wine and used Water Essence Pills as a snack. He quickly refined the Devouring Elephant Talent, and the Origin Qi of Heaven and Earth in his body accumulated rapidly once again.

This time, Liu Qing did not use it to improve his cultivation level.

Instead, they chose to upgrade the talents and supernatural abilities that had already been awakened within them, according to their importance, until they reached the pinnacle of their growth.

With the blessing of thousands of points of primordial energy from heaven and earth, the talent for swallowing elephants reached its perfect state.

After the Devouring Elephant talent is perfected, without Liu Qing's order, one can actively devour and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun, moon, and stars, and transform it into the source energy of heaven and earth, differentiate it into the five elements, or condense the three powers of heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars.

After reading the instructions, Liu Qing was overjoyed. Seeing that he still had a lot of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi accumulated in his body, he did not hesitate to raise the growth rate of the three divine abilities—Boiling Blood Talent, Warrior Divine Ability, and Ice-Melting Divine Ability—to perfection.

After the Boiling Blood talent is perfected, the duration of the burst effect is doubled, and the subsequent backlash is reduced by half.

After a warrior's supernatural powers are perfected, the amount of incense and divine essence required for the condensed warrior talisman is halved, requiring only 1% of the incense and divine essence. The quantity is doubled, and each warrior talisman increases power by 10,000 jin. But that's not the key point. The key point is that it can be continuously stacked.

Assuming Liu Qing condenses twenty-four Warrior Talismans at once and applies them all to himself, the power increase from the Warrior Talismans alone would reach 240,000 jin.

If we add the 500,000 jin increase from cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, Liu Qing's strength now reaches nearly 800,000 jin.

Imagine a dragon-shaped eight-tone cone striking down; it would have a force of nearly 800,000 jin. Which powerful deity of the same realm could withstand it?

Even a powerful being two realms above him, at the Three Flowers Realm, would find it difficult to possess such divine power. This means that, in terms of strength alone, Liu Qing could suppress a powerful being two realms above him.

The remaining primordial energy of heaven and earth was all added to the Ice-Melting Divine Power, raising its growth rate to perfection.

Once perfected, the Ice-Melting Divine Power could freeze the entire Wuding River with a single finger. The Wuding River is several zhang wide and over thirty li long, making it the longest river in the Great Bay Lake Water Palace.

The Jinghe River is wider and has a larger volume of water than the Wuding River, but despite this, Liu Qing's perfect ice-melting divine power can instantly freeze a section of the river about five miles long.

Although it is only a five-mile-long stretch of river, if it were erected, it would be equivalent to a huge iceberg.

With his four talents and supernatural abilities—Elephant Devouring, Blood Boiling, Warrior, and Ice Melting—fully perfected, Liu Qing was very satisfied with the increased power after achieving perfection, and his strength improved once again.

At this point, all ten of Liu Qing's previously awakened talents and developed supernatural abilities have been upgraded to perfection.

These are respectively the innate abilities of Elephant Devouring, Thick Armor, Mouth Pouch, Boiling Blood, Fang Sword, Fire Wings, Serpentine, and the three supernatural powers of Water Thunder, Ice Melting, and Warrior.

Liu Qing Monkey's spirit wine and spirit pills, limited by his alcohol tolerance, can only go this far for now. He will no longer continue to consume spirit medicine and spirit wine to accumulate the source energy of heaven and earth. Besides, continuing like this is quite boring.

After this period came to an end, Liu Qing was pleasantly surprised again.

The other half of his mind was focused on comprehending the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Techniques, and he achieved some success.

They have all comprehended the four great supernatural powers of the Heavenly Gang: size as desired, ever-changing, imitating the heavens and the earth, and summoning wind and rain, but their proficiency varies.

The two are of different sizes and can be transformed in countless ways. Thanks to the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, they have achieved minor success in their cultivation in a short time. However, the Law of Heaven and Earth is too profound and they are currently only at the entry level.

The ability to summon wind and rain originated from the cloud and rain technique that Liu Qing had previously practiced. Now, based on the cloud and rain technique, he quickly grasped the basics and soon mastered it, making him the most proficient of the four Heavenly Divine Powers.

After Liu Qing emerged from seclusion in Yangxin Garden, thirteen years had passed in the Daye era.

They enjoyed several nights of fun with Bai She'er and the others, and had a very pleasant few days.

But such days were short-lived, because the first avatar sent word that it had completely refined the core of the sacrificial realm and taken control of it.

Now, Liu Qing had no choice but to bid farewell to Bai She'er and the others and head to the sacrificial realm.
