I can increase my power through breathing.

Chapter 75 After six months of seclusion, the outlaw Zhou Qing re-emerges and tops the Earth Ranking.

"Dragon Veins!"

Zhou Qing's eyes flickered, and he had already made up his mind.

This dragon vein was likely cultivated by the Grandmaster of the Great Wei Dynasty using a sacred land, but he had no interest in establishing a dynasty.

This dragon vein is perfect for upgrading the superior-grade spiritual weapon, the Poison Dragon Banner.

The Poison Dragon Banner he obtained from the Poison Demon was originally a high-grade spiritual weapon forged from the corpse of a poisonous dragon. If he were to cultivate the Qian Tian Transformation Treasure Secret Technique, use the Poison Dragon Banner to devour this dragon vein, and then integrate all the spiritual weapons in his hand into it, he might be able to advance further and become a Grandmaster-level spiritual weapon.

High-grade spiritual weapons mean nothing to him, but if he could be upgraded to a Grandmaster-level spiritual weapon, the power of the Poison Dragon Banner would be greatly enhanced, becoming a great asset to him.

However, to refine the Poison Dragon Banner, one must first cultivate the Heavenly Transformation Treasure Secret Technique, but this is not a difficult task for Zhou Qing.

On the second day, once the Dao Source Point is obtained, it can be infused into the Qian Tian Hua Bao Secret Technique to achieve perfection.

……

……

the other side.

As the masters sadly departed the stage.

The events that occurred on the island where the Great Wei Dynasty's treasure was located spread throughout the martial arts world as quickly as a storm.

After all, the emergence of the Great Wei Dynasty's treasure has attracted the attention of the entire martial arts world, and it is impossible for any of the top-ranked masters to suppress the news.

August 26th, the fourteenth year of Yuanfeng.

The outlaw Zhou Qing killed Zhao Qianqiu, the leader of the Golden Eagle Guard and ranked thirteenth on the Earth Ranking, as well as Jiang Zhu, the sect leader of the Wan Jian Sect, ranked sixteenth on the Earth Ranking and a top power, in the treasure land of the Dawei Dynasty on an overseas island.

After lying low for half a year, the outlaw Zhou Qing has returned to the scene.

And, they always go for the best.

Zhao Qianqiu and Jiang Zhu are not only renowned masters on the Earthly Ranking, but also ranked among the top twenty, possessing formidable strength and formidable reputation.

However, they still died at Zhou Qing's hands.

Xu Feiyu, Lu Yuan, Du Mo, Zhao Qianqiu, and Jiang Zhu—some people have calculated that the number of Earth Ranking Grandmasters who died at Zhou Qing's hands has reached five.

Of the seventy-two Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking, only about fifty belonged to the Great Xuan Dynasty, and Zhou Qing alone killed one-tenth of them.

In this battle, Zhou Qing displayed the Ten-in-One Intent Domain, which can be described as overwhelming, killing Zhao Qianqiu and Jiang Zhu as easily as crushing two ants, shaking the entire world.

Zhou Qing, the outlaw, has once again become a topic of conversation and an object of desire for countless martial artists.

August 27th, the fourteenth year of Yuanfeng.

Feng Manlou updated the Earth Ranking, and Zhou Qing, the outlaw, undeniably took the top spot, becoming the number one grandmaster on the Earth Ranking!

at the same time.

Another piece of news exploded like a thunderclap throughout the martial arts world.

The battle for the Transformation-level spiritual weapon between four grandmasters—Lin Nantian, Ling Tianyue, Chu Linfeng (Sect Master of Yutian Sect), and Ye Yun (City Lord of Zhenwu City)—has come to an end.

It was beyond everyone's expectations.

The one who obtained this Transformation-level spiritual weapon was neither Chu Linfeng, the sect master of the Imperial Heaven Sect who had been a Grandmaster for a longer time, nor Ye Yun, the city lord of True Martial City, but Lin Nantian, the ruler of the Yan Kingdom who had not long been promoted to Grandmaster.

This result was unexpected by everyone.

Lin Nantian's ranking on the Heavenly Ranking also rose several places.

Even so, it couldn't suppress the discussion about Zhou Qing.

The power Zhou Qing displayed in this battle was terrifying. His Ten-in-One Domain could kill a True Core Grandmaster as easily as killing a chicken. If he were to condense a True Core, his strength would increase even further, and he might even possess combat power comparable to a Grandmaster.

A cultivator at the Innate Realm challenges a Grandmaster.

Before Zhou Qing appeared, no one dared to even imagine it. But now, it all seems possible.

Zhou Qing's appearance has repeatedly shattered people's perceptions, and it is possible that he could challenge a Grandmaster while still in the Innate Realm.

In an instant, the news that Zhou Qing, the outlaw, had become the number one master on the Earth Ranking and that he and Lin Nantian had obtained a Transformation-level spiritual weapon became the hottest topics in the martial arts world.

……

……

Qian Tian Hua Bao Secret Technique / Perfected (Characteristics: Enhanced Spirit, Decomposition, Refining)

A day passed, and Zhou Qing poured his Dao Source Points into the Qian Tian Hua Bao Secret Technique. After a year of arduous cultivation, he perfected the Qian Tian Hua Bao Secret Technique.

"That's it!"

Zhou Qing took out the Poison Dragon Banner, placed it in front of him, and then used his mental power to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to inscribe the spiritual patterns from the Qian Tian Hua Bao Secret Technique on the Poison Dragon Banner.

Spirit runes are composed of ancient runes.

The inscription of these spiritual runes is no simpler than the intention of a god.

Divine intent requires cultivating the power of intent to the Transformation Realm level in order to retain it for a long time, while spirit patterns require a master who has mastered the realm of intent to use powerful mental strength to inscribe them and imprint them on objects to form spirit weapons.

Therefore, whether it is forging spiritual weapons or creating divine intent, one must be a master of the realm of intent.

Different spirit runes have different characteristics.

The spiritual patterns within the Qian Tian Hua Bao possess powerful spiritual energy and the characteristics of decomposition and refining.

Strengthening spirit means enhancing spirituality, which can improve the power of other spirit patterns to a certain extent. Decomposing spirit patterns, on the other hand, can decompose many materials. Finished spirit weapons can be thrown into it and slowly decomposed, and then refined and integrated into the spirit weapon.

Zhou Qing was completely focused and dared not be distracted in the slightest.

The carving of spirit patterns must be done in one go.

Even a slight distraction could undo all your previous efforts.

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The spiritual patterns on the Poison Dragon Banner gradually took shape, each pattern radiating light and containing mysterious and unpredictable power.

Under Zhou Qing's meticulous carving, these spiritual runes gradually intertwined, forming a complex pattern that emitted a faint spiritual light.

"It's done!"

A hint of joy appeared in Zhou Qing's eyes.

Once the spirit patterns of the Qian Tian Hua Bao Secret Technique are inscribed and imprinted with one's own unique spiritual mark, the next step is to place the Poison Dragon Banner within the dragon vein. Then, it will automatically refine the dragon vein's energy and integrate the dragon vein into the banner.

At the same time, Zhou Qing threw all the spiritual weapons he possessed into the Poison Dragon Banner, letting the banner slowly decompose and refine them.

For him, ordinary high-grade spiritual weapons are of little use.

If he could upgrade the Poison Dragon Banner to the Spirit Nurturing level and make it a Grandmaster-level spiritual weapon, that would be a qualitative leap that would enhance his strength.

"Open up the spiritual veins!"

After completing all this, Zhou Qing consumed the three Dao Source Points he had obtained over the past three days and poured them into the Meridian Opening Technique of the Innate Primordial True Art.

Instantly, images of cultivation flooded into Zhou Qing's mind.

A series of text prompts appeared, recording the cultivation progress.

[After a year of arduous cultivation, you have opened thirty-six spiritual meridians. With each meridian opened, your physical strength increases by 100,000 jin... After three years of arduous cultivation, you have opened one hundred and eight spiritual meridians, and your physical strength exceeds ten million jin.]
