Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 426 The Transformation of the Six Qi
The Tower of Inquiry is a place of ever-changing spaces, and before Jiang Chen knew it, he had arrived at the final level.

Although his actual cultivation level is still at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, his comprehension of the law has surpassed that of a typical Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak.

That is why, cultivation at the Dao Foundation level was not actually very difficult for him.

"Having comprehended enough, achieving the perfection of the Dao Foundation is just a matter of time for me."

With the Six Qi Spiritual Technique activated, holding the Turbid Fiend Fire in his hand, draped in the Dark Immortal Robe, and bathed in clear light, Jiang Chen stepped into the final illusion without hesitation.

The Tower of Inquiry has twelve floors, each corresponding to a different illusion.

That is precisely why it is so changeable and varies from person to person.

Of course, unlike ordinary illusions, the illusions in the Tower of Inquiry are reversed, making it difficult for people to distinguish between reality and illusion, and to a certain extent, they have a mysterious quality that makes them indistinguishable from reality.

Just as Jiang Chen stepped into the final illusion, a sudden change occurred, and another version of himself appeared before him.

"Another me? No, that's not right. It should be a me that has been strengthened to a certain extent."

With a gleam in his eyes, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow as he watched the figure walking towards him.

This figure had the same aura as him, but his cultivation was stronger, having reached the peak of the Dao Foundation stage.

Without any hesitation, the other Jiang Chen launched an attack on Jiang Chen.

In that instant, the turbid evil fire rose up, transforming into a black snake that lunged at Jiang Chen.

Although both are spiritual techniques, the fake Jiang Chen's use of the Turbid Fiend Fire is far more powerful than the real Jiang Chen's.

"A perfect-level spiritual technique?"

With a thought arising, Jiang Chen also activated the Turbid Fiend Fire, transforming it into a Black Eagle, attacking in response to attack.

In the next instant, the black snake and the black eagle clashed in battle.

The difference is that the former is a change resulting from the perfection of spiritual techniques, while the latter is the result of Jiang Chen manipulating it with his powerful divine soul.

Just as the black snake and the black eagle were locked in a fierce battle, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed something and immediately activated the Spiritual Art of Clear Spirit Light to its maximum.

Almost simultaneously, a small black snake suddenly materialized and spat out a mouthful of malevolent fire at Jiang Chen.

With a hissing sound, as if raging fire had met ice, the six layers of light reflected behind Jiang Chen suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and for a moment even showed signs of dissipation.

"It's not one, but two. The avatar combines the two spiritual techniques, Turbid Fiend Fire and Obscure Immortal Robe."

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the little black snake, and a realization dawned on him.

That is the true manifestation of the power of the two spiritual arts; the black snake that is on display is merely a smokescreen.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to fight his opponent to a standstill with his turbid fire.

Having grasped this point, Jiang Chen gained a new understanding of the Turbid Fiend Flame and the Obscure Immortal Robe.

"The previous trials were both tests and assessments. The power I displayed before was not only controlled by the fake body but also amplified. Now it's a teaching session, and how much I can learn depends entirely on my own destiny."

With a thought in mind, Jiang Chen saw the essence of the final hurdle.

Realizing this, he immediately activated the spiritual technique Ascending Dragon Intent, forcibly raising his cultivation level to the late stage of the Dao Foundation stage.

Now, he has mastered the Six Qi Spirit Technique, and his execution of it is quite remarkable.

"Destroy."

With his cultivation improved, Jiang Chen plucked the pure, ethereal light behind him and transformed it into a sword, slaying the little black snake with a single strike.

Upon seeing this, the fake body made its move again.

In an instant, a gray halo spread out, enveloping Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's originally violent aura seemed to be suppressed and began to decline continuously.

It turns out that the fake body concealed not only the turbid evil fire, but also the dust-falling curse.

"That's truly a remarkable technique." Sensing the power of the fake body, Jiang Chen was not surprised but rather delighted.

Both are the One Qi Six Transformations Spirit Technique, but the clone's execution is far more powerful than his.

"Come."

Without hesitation, and without attempting to force a breakthrough using his powerful divine soul, Jiang Chen once again activated his spiritual technique, colliding with the fake body.

This time, Jiang Chen was not able to escape unscathed. He was directly injured by the fake body and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I see. I was mistaken before."

With blood stained at the corner of his mouth, Jiang Chen seemed to understand something.

"Clear and Bright Eyes".

Activating his pupil technique to its fullest extent, Jiang Chen locked onto the real body of the fake one and instead of retreating, launched an attack.

At that moment, as the primordial energy within his body circulated, his injuries began to heal at a visible speed.

Faced with the powerful dummy, and unwilling to forcefully break the deadlock with his divine soul power, Jiang Chen had no choice but to reveal another card he had never used in the previous levels.

Seeing this, the fake body frowned slightly.

The next instant, dark red flames ignited in his eyes, revealing savagery and foreboding.

At the same time, under the gaze of the fake body, Jiang Chen felt his blood and qi boiling.

"What kind of technique is this? It actually ignored my defenses and ignited my life force!"

"No, it's not that I ignored him, it's that he saw through my defenses. This must be the combination of the Clear Eye and the Turbid Fiend Fire."

With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Jiang Chen met the gaze of the imposter and immediately guessed what was going on.

However, it was too late to guess at this point. With his blood and qi ignited and his whole body bathed in blood and fire, Jiang Chen felt his life slipping away.

At this point, let alone attacking, he would have a hard time even protecting himself.

"Perhaps I can use the Dust-Clearing Spell."

In that critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck Jiang Chen, and he came up with a solution.

In the next instant, all his strength contracted, and even his vital energy and blood became still.

The raging turbid fire suddenly lost its target and its power diminished instantly.

Even so, Jiang Chen suffered serious injuries in this confrontation, but fortunately he still had some Yuan Qi left.

And so, relying on his Yuan Qi as a safety net, Jiang Chen was injured and recovered time and time again, constantly fighting against his fake body.

As time went by, Jiang Chen's combat skills became increasingly fierce, especially his Six Qi Spiritual Technique, which gradually gained a sense of freedom and control, no longer as rigid as before.

He is learning from the fake body, which is, in some ways, an enhanced version of him, perfectly matching him in every aspect and serving as his best teacher at present.

At one point, with his vital energy nearly exhausted, Jiang Chen's six spiritual techniques all returned to their peak.

In that instant, inspired by a sudden inspiration, Jiang Chen disregarded the depletion of his spiritual energy and unleashed all six spiritual techniques to their fullest potential.

"One breath undergoes six transformations, beginning with the primordial chaos."

With his mind empty and following his heart, Jiang Chen opened his palm and gently pressed down.

At this moment, the Six Qi Spiritual Techniques resonated, and the Primordial Qi was generated, following Jiang Chen's guidance, transforming into a large hand that pressed down on the illusory body.

The moment it took shape, an invisible pressure enveloped everything. Standing in the palm of one's hand, the dummy was like a tiny insect frozen in amber, unable to move even a little.

With a thunderous roar, as the Primordial Chaos Great Handprint descended, the illusory body, with no way to avoid it, was instantly annihilated.

At the same time, the entire illusion began to crumble.
