Chapter 436 Refining Qi into罡
In Diancui Mountain, the ancient whale calls were fading into the distance, and Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Nourishing the Mysterious Whale in the Sea of ​​Qi is a special method of cultivating Qi. It connects the 108 acupoints and opens up a real and authentic Sea of ​​Qi. Nourishing the Mysterious Whale in the Sea of ​​Qi not only makes one's magical power far superior to that of one's peers, but also allows one to cultivate Qi into a powerful force."

"Once this qi is formed, it becomes a unified whole, capable of suppressing one's own body internally and amplifying one's supernatural powers externally. It is profound and mysterious."

After digesting the legacy left by Daoist Yuan Gang, ripples spread across Jiang Chen's heart.

“Refining Qi into Gang, cultivating a single Qi Yuan Gang to suppress oneself, perhaps this is the origin of the title of Senior Yuan Gang.”

Having grasped the wonders of Qi, Jiang Chen had a sudden realization: compared to the renowned Primordial Dragon Whale Transformation, this little-known Qi Sea Nourishing Mysterious Whale might be the true foundation of the Yuan Gang Daoist.

In terms of sheer power, the Qi Sea Nourishing Mystic Whale is naturally inferior to the Primordial Dragon Whale Transformation, but it is the foundation of everything, and its influence on the cultivator's path is far greater than that of the Primordial Dragon Whale Transformation.

“In ancient times, Qi practitioners did not cultivate the foundation of the Dao or open the Purple Mansion. They only cultivated a mouthful of true Qi. There were many mysteries such as refining essence into Qi and refining Qi into spirit. The Qi Sea Nourishing Xuan Whale created by the senior Yuan Gang came from this.”

"However, times have changed. The ancient Qi cultivation method is no longer suitable for this era. Senior Yuan Gang did not refine true Qi from it. Instead, he cultivated Gang Qi. Compared with the true Qi that is good for nourishing life in the records, Gang Qi is undoubtedly much more domineering."

The profound mystery of nurturing the Xuan Whale in the Qi Sea still flowed through Jiang Chen's mind. Various thoughts flashed through his mind. True Qi was being nurtured, while Gang Qi was being used. This was the fundamental difference between the two.

"The Qi of Gang is profound. This method is indeed not simple. However, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain this method. The most basic requirement is to cultivate top-grade true Qi. Otherwise, they would be powerless to connect the 108 acupoints and open up a real and authentic Qi Sea."

As his thoughts raced, Jiang Chen speculated on the possibility of cultivating the Qi Sea to raise the Xuan Whale. This method was profound. Putting aside everything else, the fact that it could amplify supernatural abilities was enough to tempt him. Supernatural abilities were rare and difficult to cultivate, and the cultivation of each one required a cultivator to expend a great deal of effort.

There are also differences in the level and strength of supernatural powers, and this was the first time he had ever heard of a secret technique that could amplify the power of other supernatural powers.

"The concept of the Qi Sea has always existed in the cultivation world, but it is mostly used metaphorically to refer to the 108 acupoints. Perhaps this concept originated from the ancient Qi cultivation tradition."

"I have cultivated top-grade true qi, and I am fully qualified to connect the 108 acupoints and open up a real and authentic sea of ​​qi. However, this step is quite dangerous and cannot be rushed. I still need to hone it."

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen suppressed the burning passion in his heart.

"It's time to go out and see what's going on. I've been out of the public eye for so long, some people are probably getting restless."

With his thoughts churning, Jiang Chen got up and went outside.

Shortly after Jiang Chen emerged from seclusion, Nianhua came looking for him.

“Junior Brother Jiang Chen, there are many rumors circulating in the sect. Some people believe that the Dragon-Snake Society may target you next, which has made many people who originally intended to align themselves with us hesitate.”

Beneath the pine tree, looking at Jiang Chen, his dark face was filled with solemnity.

During this period, Jiang Chen was in seclusion, but he was extremely busy. On the one hand, he had to appease the people inside the organization, and on the other hand, he had to resist the invisible pressure coming from the outside world. After the return of Master Xinyi, the Dragon and Snake Society became very powerful and began to suppress them from all aspects.

In fact, if it weren't for the sect's own rules and regulations, and the fact that it involved the advancement of a true disciple, which was quite sensitive, the Dragon and Snake Society wouldn't have dared to go too far, and the situation would have been far more troublesome than it is now.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen remained expressionless.

“Senior Brother Nian, there’s no need to worry too much. Didn’t we already foresee this day when we interrupted Xuan Jiaozi’s advancement? This time it’s just that True Person Xinyi returned a little too quickly.” “As for those who are wavering, let them back down. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Consider it a selection process. While the True Inheritance Trial emphasizes power, internal cohesion is equally important.”

"Most importantly, my cultivation will soon break through again, and then my chances of winning the trial will naturally be much greater."

Jiang Chen poured a cup of tea himself and handed it to Nianhua.

Hearing this and seeing Jiang Chen like this, Nianhua felt a little more at ease. Unlike others, the Nian family was already deeply bound to Jiang Chen. Others could back down, but it would be very difficult for the Nian family. Otherwise, not only would everything they had done before be in vain, but they might also suffer a backlash.

"It is indeed a great thing that junior brother's cultivation can break through again. Now I just hope that your true disciple trial will not be too troublesome."

"Currently, the sect is having considerable friction with the Boundless Sea Demon Clan in the south, and many Purple Mansion cultivators have already gone to guard the area. Judging from the sect's past practices, it is quite likely that they will be stationed there."

"If that's really the case, then we might need to prepare early."

In a low voice, Nianhua Zhenren shared his speculations.

The True Inheritance Trials of the Impermanence Sect are not fixed and are constantly changing. They may not even be held in Yu Huan Continent. However, most of them are related to war and territorial expansion. For example, the content of the last True Inheritance Trial was to wipe out an evil sect, destroy its sect, and sever its lineage.

Listening to Nianhua Zhenren's account, Jiang Chen seemed to be deep in thought. Generally speaking, the difficulty of the True Disciple Trial is not too low, but it is not too outrageous either. After all, this is just a trial, not sending the disciples to their deaths.

The situation at the Boundless Sea is currently under control, and it is indeed possible that it will become a trial ground. However, the situation there is very complicated. In addition, given the grudges between the Impermanence Sect and the Boundless Sea Demon Clan five hundred years ago, the probability of encountering danger is not small if trials are conducted there. It is indeed necessary to make some preparations in advance.

"Senior Brother Nianhua, let's do as you said and prepare in advance."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen made a decision.

Upon hearing this, Nianhua nodded heavily.

After the years had passed, Jiang Chen withdrew his thoughts and turned his gaze to the sky.

"The fundamental method of nurturing the Xuan Whale in the Qi Sea will never be taught lightly. Senior Yuan Gang first arranged for me to stay at Diancui Mountain, and then opened the library to me. He probably intended to leave behind a legacy."

Gazing at Qijue Island with a deep and thoughtful expression, Jiang Chen pondered many things at that moment.

Having cultivated in the Wuchang Sect for some time, he undoubtedly gained a deeper understanding of Daoist Yuangang. Daoist Yuangang was not only born with a precious body and had extraordinary comprehension, but also possessed strong fortune. He had encountered many fortuitous events on his cultivation path, and even attracted Dao artifacts to his aid.

Along the way, he had few rivals among his peers. Later, he even created the Primordial Dragon Whale Transformation. With his Purple Mansion body, he stood against the celestial phenomena and won the name of True Lord. This is rare throughout history.

From any perspective, Yuan Gang Dao Ren was a true prodigy and a trendsetter of the times. Unfortunately, he was blocked at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and could hardly make a breakthrough. Although his fame remains, his end is already in sight.

"Now that we've received the inheritance, we should definitely go and see it."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen got up and left Diancui Mountain.
