I can increase my power through breathing.

Chapter 76 Primordial Golden Elixir, Unity of Heaven and Man
"The power of millions of pounds!"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes.

He possesses numerous innate-level cultivation techniques.

However, the meridian-opening method in ordinary innate cultivation techniques can only increase the strength by 10,000 jin by opening one spiritual meridian. Opening 36 spiritual meridians would increase the strength by 360,000 jin. But the innate primordial true technique opens up primordial spiritual meridians, and one primordial spiritual meridian can increase the strength by 100,000 jin.

A grandmaster who has completed the thirty-sixth stage of alchemy has a physical strength of only 360,000 jin, which is no different from that of a child compared to Zhou Qing.

With a force exceeding ten million jin, Zhou Qing was able to break through the semi-realistic realm of intent using only his physical strength.

One hundred and eight Primordial Spiritual Veins have been opened up.

Next comes the process of refining the Qi into pills.

Another day passed.

Zhou Qing consumed one Dao Source Point and poured it into the Innate Primordial True Skill Refining Qi into Pills, and the True Qi within his body immediately began to circulate at high speed.

The ten forms of artistic conception that evolved from the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows—sword, flame, water droplet, mountain, Vajra, storm, thunder—are now converging towards the dantian.

The artistic conception and the true essence are truly integrated together.

At the core of the dantian, a strange crystal emitting golden light appeared.

"This is the Primordial Golden Elixir!"

With a thought, Zhou Qing sent the Primordial Golden Elixir flying out from his dantian.

He could clearly see that the strange crystal had mysterious spiritual patterns on it, which evolved into the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

The realm of artistic conception has been integrated into the Golden Elixir.

More importantly, after condensing the Primordial Golden Core, if Zhou Qing were to fully activate it, he could merge with heaven and earth, achieving oneness with the universe.

With a thought, Zhou Qing's Primordial Golden Core burst forth with a rainbow-like light. Then, the 108 spiritual apertures and 360 Primordial Spiritual Veins within his body were activated. The Golden Core, spiritual apertures, and spiritual veins formed a unified whole, instantly resonating with the world and gaining a closer connection.

"This is the unity of man and nature!"

At this moment, Zhou Qing felt as if he had become a part of heaven and earth. His physical body was combined with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, as if he were heaven, earth, and all things.

In this state, Zhou Qing felt an unprecedented power and freedom, as if he had become a part of the world.

His every thought seemed to resonate with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and with every gesture, he seemed to be able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth for his own use.

Furthermore, in the state of harmony between heaven and man, Zhou Qing can mobilize not only the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but all the primordial energy in the world.

Spiritual energy is just one type of vital energy.

In addition to these, there is the essence of plants and trees, the energy of mountains and rivers, the energy of the sun, moon and stars, etc., all of which belong to the category of primordial energy, and Zhou Qing can mobilize them all.

In a state of perfect harmony with nature, Zhou Qing seemed to have the entire world as his backing. Every move he made contained the power of heaven and earth, making him incredibly powerful. Moreover, in this state, if he was attacked, he could immediately transfer and disperse the attack to all things in the world.

Unless the power unleashed can shatter Zhou Qing's Hunyuan Golden Core immediately, once he enters the state of merging with heaven and earth, ordinary attacks will be unable to harm him.

Furthermore, in this state, Zhou Qing's understanding of heaven and earth reached a new level. He was able to perceive the growth of plants, the changes in mountains and rivers, and even the movement of the sun, moon, and stars. These subtle changes in the world were clearly presented in his mind.

In this state, Zhou Qing released his domain of intent, as if he had truly mastered a world, and his power increased dozens of times.

Or, it could be called the Celestial Realm. The Celestial Realm is a power that only Grandmasters can master.

The realm of Grandmasters is also known as the Celestial Realm. The martial spirit they cultivate can bear the power of heaven and earth, and the power they can mobilize far exceeds the power of intent.

For example.

When a grandmaster uses the power of intent to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, it is equivalent to using a water pump to draw water from rivers and lakes. However, in the state of oneness with heaven and man, one directly transforms into rivers and lakes. The two are fundamentally different.

The unity of heaven and man is a state that only a grandmaster can achieve.

However, the Primordial Golden Pill that Zhou Qing condensed using the power of ten different realms of intent allowed him to briefly enter a state of harmony between heaven and man.

How long does this take?

Zhou Qing tried it, and the limit was half an hour.

Half an hour later, he had to exit the state of oneness with nature.

Otherwise, both the body and the mind would truly merge into the universe and become a part of it.

Zhou Qing withdrew the Primordial Golden Core, and all 108 spiritual apertures and 360 Primordial Spiritual Veins fell silent, severing the close connection between himself and the world. The feeling of transforming into the world disappeared as a result.

Although the state of oneness with heaven and man can greatly increase his strength, he is not a true grandmaster after all. Compared with heaven and earth, his own spiritual will is still too insignificant. If he is not careful, he will be assimilated by heaven and earth, completely lose himself, and turn into nothingness.

Even a grandmaster who has nurtured a martial arts spirit cannot maintain a state of harmony with nature forever; at most, they can only last for a few days and nights before reaching their limit.

Over time, even a grandmaster can be assimilated into the state of harmony between humanity and nature.

Zhou Qing retrieved the Primordial Golden Pill, then looked at the tracking mark on his arm. The tracking mark formed by the national fortune of the Great Xuan Dynasty had now disappeared.

Just now, by using the Primordial Golden Elixir to enter a state of oneness with heaven and man, he mobilized the power of heaven and earth to erase the tracking mark on his arm without any hindrance.

After all, this is only a wisp of national fortune. Compared to the vast power of heaven and earth, a wisp of national fortune seems insignificant, like a drop in the ocean.

"Having cultivated the Primordial Golden Core, the next step is to strengthen it."

Zhou Qing thought to himself.

The way to strengthen the Hunyuan Golden Elixir is very simple.

That is to comprehend new realms of intent and integrate them into the Hunyuan Golden Core. The more realms of intent integrated, the stronger the Hunyuan Golden Core becomes. According to the records in the Innate Hunyuan True Skill, the Hunyuan Golden Core can integrate up to forty-nine kinds of realms of intent.

The Great Way is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine.

The Primordial Golden Elixir can command forty-nine kinds of spiritual power.

Furthermore, the power of the conception one comprehends does not need to reach the Transformation Domain level, or even the Fusion Heaven level; a seed of conception is sufficient.

The seed of artistic conception is integrated into the Primordial Golden Elixir, and then, under the nourishment of the Primordial Golden Elixir, it will slowly transform into the embryonic form of artistic conception, the Heaven-Merging Realm of artistic conception, and finally reach the Domain-Transforming Realm of artistic conception.

In a sense, the Hunyuan Golden Elixir is a simplified version of the Heavenly Heart Stone.

Zhou Qing obtained the treasures of the Great Wei Dynasty. He might not have other cultivation resources, but he was not lacking in cultivation techniques for the Innate Realm.

Each innate skill can cultivate a different state of mind.
