Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye since Ji Qing began his secluded cultivation.

During these six years, perhaps due to the abundance of elixirs, Ji Qing's cultivation level quickly broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

It's worth mentioning that after Ji Qing's successful breakthrough, Ling Yuling also successfully broke through.

She went into seclusion to cultivate six years ago, and her cultivation level quickly reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

"It's finally done."

Ji Qing was in a good mood at the moment.

A higher level of cultivation means a greater number of methods he can use.

Sure enough, after successfully breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the [Heavenly Gold Dao Technique] he cultivated has reached the fifth level.

After breaking through his cultivation technique, Ji Qing mastered a supernatural power called the "Thousandfold Golden Yuan Technique".

If this [Thousandfold Golden Yuan Technique] is cultivated to its full potential, it can strengthen the meridians and bones, and also increase the cultivator's magical power.

His mana reserves are 30-40% higher than those of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This is a truly alarming number.

As is well known, the destructive power of metal-based martial arts is no less than that of sword cultivators.

However, its drawbacks are also quite obvious.

Although metal-based cultivation techniques are extremely lethal, they consume far more mana than those of ordinary cultivators.

If Ji Qing mastered this supernatural ability and cultivated it to a high level, then he could ignore this weakness.

"Excellent, excellent. If I were to master this technique, who among my peers would be my match?"

Ji Qing was very confident.

In addition to cultivating the Heavenly Gold Dao Technique, he also cultivated two other secret arts: the Five Elements Divine Flame and the Crimson Fire Burning the Sky Technique.

It is worth mentioning that the [Crimson Fire Burning the Sky Technique] is a complete cultivation method passed down by Elder An.

There are many supernatural powers within, but only a few secret techniques that can ignore spiritual roots for cultivation.

Of these secret techniques, Ji Qing has mastered the [Crimson Flame Fire] and the [Mysterious Nether Flame Fire].

The [Mysterious Nether Flame] is very powerful and is Ji Qing's trump card.

After mastering this secret technique, Ji Qing suddenly had a different idea.

As is well known, the Five Elements Divine Flame can fuse with other flames.

So, after he masters the Crimson Flame and the Mysterious Nether Flame, how much power would he increase if he fused them together?

Ji Qing became more and more excited as she thought about it.

Without the slightest hesitation, he went straight to a deserted square.

It was nearing midnight, and many people were already fast asleep, so Ji Qing didn't need to worry about anyone spying on him.

"Come on, let me see just how powerful you really are today!"

After saying that, Ji Qing's figure slowly floated up.

"rise!"

Ji Qing gave a soft shout, and with a slight lift of his palm, two balls of flame, one blue and one red, immediately appeared in his palm.

Ji Qing's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and after summoning the [Five Elements Divine Flame], he began to fuse with it.

However, it would have been fine if they hadn't merged yet, but once they started to merge, the situation immediately changed.

As the flames began to merge, the violent energy within them erupted, sending out towering flames and blazing lights. Ji Qing quickly reached his limit.

He misjudged the situation, and the flames started to leap wildly, eventually exploding and blasting him a great distance away.

"Cough cough..."

Ji Qing coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with excitement.

"It's only just begun the fusion, yet it already possesses such power."

If this fusion succeeds, that would be incredible!

Ji Qing became excited. He took out a pill and swallowed it, then began to fuse with the flames again.

Ji Qing made up her mind that she would succeed in the fusion today no matter what.

After about half a day, Ji Qing finally found the trick after trying hundreds of times.

With his careful control of the flames, the originally raging flames began to calm down. As the flames slowly gathered and condensed into a lotus shape, a ball of multicolored flames quickly rose up. Ji Qing had finally succeeded in the fusion.

"It's done!" Ji Qing exclaimed excitedly.

In Ji Qing's palm, a colorful lotus flower floated slowly, its intense heat causing ripples to spread through the surrounding air.

"Let's see how powerful it is."

After saying that, Ji Qing called Tang Lao out.

"Greetings, Young Master."

When Old Tang arrived, he first bowed to Ji Qing.

"Old Tang, do you see the fire lotus in my hand? Come and test the power of my self-created fire lotus later!"

Ok?

Self-created martial arts techniques?

Young Master, what is this...?

Old Tang was somewhat surprised.

He never expected that Ji Qing could create such a powerful martial arts technique.

Old Tang stared intently at the fire lotus, feeling the violent energy within, and his eyes revealed a look of shock.

What kind of flame could make him feel a sense of apprehension?

Old Tang was not careless at all, and immediately activated his protective aura, bowing in reply:

"Young Master, please come. I am ready."

"it is good."

Ji Qing raised the fire lotus in his hand, seemingly a little uneasy, and said in a heavy tone:

"Remember this, Mr. Tang. You must do your best and don't be careless."

"As you know, young master, I know what to do."

Old Tang still didn't take it seriously.

After all, he was a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and his strength was exceptionally high.

He easily dealt with the full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Therefore, although he said that, he still had to put on a good show.

They had to make sure they didn't look too bad, while also giving the young master enough face.

"Come on, young master, let me see just how powerful this fire lotus in your hand is."

"Alright, in that case, I'm coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Qing pushed the fire lotus to its limit. Once the fire lotus began to erupt, he raised his hand and gently tossed it. The fire lotus in his hand immediately shot towards Elder Tang at an incredible speed.

Tang Lao initially didn't take this scene to heart, but as the fire lotus drew closer and the violent flames inside erupted, even he, with his vast experience, had a slight change in expression.

Old Tang dared not be careless. After condensing a ball of magical energy in his palm, he caught the fire lotus with both hands.

"town!"

As soon as he said this, the flame in his hand gradually dimmed.

Old Tang was secretly pleased. Just when he thought it was about to end, the fire lotus that had been dormant suddenly erupted. The blazing flames shot straight at his face. Before Old Tang could react, a huge explosion rang out with a "bang," and he was immediately blasted far away by the flames.

When he regained his balance and looked down, his eyes widened in horror.

"How could this be?"

Old Tang thought he was careful enough, but he was still injured by the flame.

The injury is not serious, just a superficial wound, and it will heal soon.

Even so, it's still frightening enough.

He was a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, yet he couldn't withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If this gets out, who will believe it?
