Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Many top-tier experts in the Three Realms at the late stage of the Great Luo Realm do not possess such physical strength.

Having reached the Great Luo Realm in cultivation, they could already manipulate the power of heaven and earth and transform it into their own power, so no one considered improving their physical strength anymore.

Before reaching the Great Luo Realm, one borrows the power of heaven and earth; after reaching the Great Luo Realm, one manipulates the power of heaven and earth. From this, it can be seen that the great beings in the Great Luo Realm already possess a trace of the power of a saint.

At the Great Luo Realm, the higher one's cultivation level, the more power of heaven and earth one can control. To give an analogy, the power of heaven and earth one can control in the middle stage of the Great Luo Realm might be ten or even dozens of times that in the early stage of the Great Luo Realm.

Otherwise, Liu Qing wouldn't have been able to successively kill Maitreya Buddha, Sun and Moon Bodhisattva, Medicine Buddha, and Vairocana Buddha. The reason is that they were all at the early stage of the Great Luo Realm, and they couldn't control much of the power of heaven and earth. Faced with Liu Qing's powerful physical strength and the power of his spiritual treasures, they were far inferior and thus were killed.

Otherwise, if one of them had truly reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm, the power of heaven and earth they controlled would have been absolutely terrifying, and Liu Qing would definitely not have been able to defeat them.

But things are different now. After Liu Qing reached the Golden Body Realm, his physical body increased in size, his physical strength surged, and his cultivation level increased, which further enhanced his ability to unleash the power of spiritual treasures. Although the combined combat power has not yet been verified, it should be no less powerful than the mid-stage Great Luo Realm's ability to control the power of heaven and earth.

Having recovered from her distracting thoughts, Liu Qing, after gaining a preliminary understanding of the changes in her body, decided to prepare for another important matter.

That means preparing to break through to the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

The sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique can only be attempted after breaking through to the Golden Body Realm. Liu Qing has now reached the perfection of the Golden Body Realm, which already meets the requirements.

The journey to become a dragon is not yet complete, and there are still tribulations ahead. Cultivating the sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique will always be beneficial to increase one's strength.

Liu Qing no longer hesitated.

The sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique requires the power of the Seven Stars, borrowing the power of the Big Dipper to temper the physical body.

The first thing Liu Qing had to do was, as before, to inscribe the Big Dipper's star-guiding power array on every part of his body, from the inside out, and then refine it with the power of the seven stars.

After the array to draw upon the power of the Seven Stars was inscribed on all parts of his body, Liu Qing moved his mind and began to refine it, drawing upon the power of the Seven Stars.

Now that the Jade Emperor is entangled with his teacher, Daoist Yu Yu, and cannot escape, he will not deliberately stop Liu Qing from using star power to refine his physical body.

The star lords in the sky were mostly brothers of the Jieshi Sect, and they were all in the mortal realm at the time. When they sensed the intention of their Uncle Master, none of them dared to stop them. They hurriedly used their positional authority to transmit the purest and most original star power to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing instantly obtained the most primordial star power, which he used to refine his physical body and cultivate the sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

How could anyone else in the Three Realms obtain this most primordial star power?

Liu Qing was able to obtain it because of his status as the leader of the Jie Sect, his leading the Eastern Journey, his desire to revive the Jie Sect, and the respect and admiration he received from the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Otherwise, even if Buddhism, Chan Sect, or Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals who has lived through the ages, wanted the original star power of the Big Dipper and the Jie Sect star lords who occupied the positions of the Big Dipper, they would not pay any attention to them.

Then, the mighty power of the Big Dipper surged towards the bottom of the Grand Canal through the rain.

Seeing this, Liu Qing nodded and was no longer worried that the power of the Seven Stars would weaken or be interrupted midway.

He then focused all his attention on the refining process after the star power entered his body.

The star power was drawn over and gathered on the Big Dipper array. Then, through the Big Dipper array, the star power was controlled and released little by little to refine the physical body.

As the ritual was performed, the star power released by the Big Dipper formation slowly began to increase, gradually growing from small to large and from slow to fast.

Instantly, as the refining speed increased, the star power burned away the impurities in the physical body. The pain of refining the physical body began to surge into the mind from all parts of the body, almost overwhelming the mind.

No wonder cultivating the sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique requires the cultivator to reach the Golden Body Realm; otherwise, the unbearable pain will inevitably interrupt the refining process, leading to the collapse of the physical body.

Fortunately, Liu Qing had already reached the perfection of the Golden Body Realm, and his physical body was already extremely solid, so there was no need to worry about him being unable to withstand the backlash that would cause his physical body to collapse.

Furthermore, because his divine soul is currently extremely powerful, the pain during the refining process, although intense, is still within a tolerable range.

As time went on, Liu Qing began to slowly cultivate the sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, gradually progressing from initial mastery to minor success, major success, and finally perfection.

After completing the sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, Liu Qing was able to withstand a full-force attack from a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure using only his physical body's defense.

Liu Qing unleashed the full power of the high-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Human Seed Bag, and then absorbed it into his own body.

Without using any supernatural powers, Liu Qing relied solely on his physical body, which was at the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, to withstand the full force of the top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Human Seed Bag, and was not moved an inch.

After trying it, Liu Qing was overjoyed. The sixth stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was enough to withstand a full-force attack from a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

Looking across the Three Realms, how many people can possess a superior-grade acquired spiritual treasure?

In terms of sheer physical defense alone, Liu Qing could roam freely throughout the Three Realms.

With a thought, Liu Qing slowly stopped refining the technique. After the sixth stage was completed, the next stage was the seventh stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique. The seventh stage was even more difficult to cultivate, and the suffering during the refinement was not only directed at the physical body, but also at the soul.

If Liu Qing wants to cultivate the seventh stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, he needs to break through to the Undying Realm so that his soul can withstand the cultivation of the seventh stage.

Otherwise, if you force yourself to cultivate now, your soul is very likely to collapse halfway through.

Things should be done cautiously. Liu Qing is not in a hurry and plans to cultivate the seventh stage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique after breaking through to the Undying Realm.

Even with the current sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, he can already roam freely throughout the Three Realms. Looking across the Three Realms, Liu Qing is the first powerful person to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the sixth level.

It is said that Yang Jian is called a Little Saint because of his strong combat power, which comes from the fifth stage of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. But it is laughable that the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is just a castrated version of the Nine-Turn Arcane Arts. And thousands of years later, Yang Jian has only just reached the fifth stage. Is he worthy of the name Little Saint?

Liu Qing merely chuckled inwardly and stopped thinking about it. Yang Jian was no longer in Liu Qing's eyes. Regardless of his identity, status, or strength, he had been completely crushed by Liu Qing and was no longer comparable to Liu Qing.

After cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the sixth revolution, Liu Qing's physical body no longer grew, but his physical strength doubled.

The physical strength has increased from 50 million jin to hundreds of millions of jin.

With his current physical strength alone, Liu Qing is confident enough to suppress a powerful expert in the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm.

Of course, a battle cannot be judged solely by the data on paper; it also depends on the player's combat awareness on the spot, as well as the combined effects of supernatural powers, spells, and protective magical treasures.

First, he broke through to the Golden Body Realm Perfection, and then he also cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the sixth revolution. Liu Qing's strength increased dramatically, and for a short period of time, he no longer considered improving his strength.

Liu Qing stepped out of the small world, re-manifesting his true form as a green dragon, and continued his dragon-walking journey.

Starting from the section of the Grand Canal near the Huai River, after quelling the floods on both sides of the Great Lake, Liu Qing, having reaped another round of merit, continued southward along the Grand Canal.

Along the way, passing through the Hangou section of the Grand Canal, and arriving at the banks of the Yangtze River, all the sections of the Grand Canal that passed behind were widened and deepened, and the river god, who was in harmony with the Dao, was allowed to reside there to ensure the stability of the Grand Canal in the future.

After crossing the Yangtze River along the canal, the canal section suddenly narrows, becoming even narrower than before. There is more silt accumulated in the riverbed, and the silted-up sections ahead are even more numerous.

Liu Qing knew that this place was in Jiangnan. Jiangnan was a low-lying area. Although there were many rivers, most of them were shallow and narrow. This section of the canal was mostly created by connecting old waterways and dredging them slightly. Therefore, it was far inferior to the canal sections in the north.

The Jiangnan region is already rainy, and perhaps due to the dragon's flight, the torrential rain has turned the already rainy Jiangnan into a vast expanse of water. The originally low-lying areas are now a white expanse as far as the eye can see, filled with turbid floodwaters. The number of people who have drowned far exceeds that of the northern section of the Grand Canal.

Liu Qing dared not delay any longer. He immediately let out a dragon roar and plunged into the bottom of the canal. His true form, a five-thousand-foot-long dragon, meandered left and right, using his powerful body to widen the river channel to the left and right. He then opened the gate to the Lesser Thousand Worlds, swallowing all the silt from the riverbed into the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Meanwhile, the numerous water puppets focused solely on clearing the blockage ahead, paving the way for their main body.

The rain was torrential, and the floodwaters were rising every moment. Liu Qing was anxious and began to dredge, widen, and deepen the canal channel with maximum efficiency.

Ten li, fifty li, one hundred li, two hundred li, three hundred li
As the dredging progressed faster, Liu Qing's journey through the Grand Canal was already more than halfway complete. The section of the canal that had been winding through Jiangnan had long been widened and deepened. Where Liu Qing passed, the floodwaters that had ravaged the Jiangnan region began to pour wildly into the Grand Canal, carried by it towards Jiangdu.

As Liu Qing passed by, the floodwaters receded, the rain stopped, and the sky cleared, allowing the living beings to survive. They saw the enormous dragon floating in the flood and were all moved to tears of gratitude. Just then, Liu Qing released his avatar, the River God, to reside in the area and manifest himself to the disaster victims.

In an instant, after accumulating merit, they received wave after wave of incense offerings. Not long after, the disaster victims rebuilt their homes and, not forgetting the River God and Dragon King, built temples to worship them. But that's another story.

On this day, Liu Qing traveled by dragon to a section of the canal near the Qiantang River.

Suddenly, a bell rang. In Jinshan Temple near the Qiantang River, an old monk struck the bell, glanced back at the monks in the temple, and took a step that took him hundreds of miles to the Grand Canal.

The young monks behind them exclaimed in surprise: "Look! That old monk who came to our temple on a pilgrimage is actually a hidden master!"

"Yes, he... he took one step and disappeared."

"I initially thought he was some wandering monk from somewhere, but now it seems he's an extraordinary master. Oh dear, I even had him ring the bell before." (End of Chapter)
