The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 135 The So-Called Divine Power (Free Water Supplement 1)

As Fulanwu finished speaking, Lin Ye felt a slight tremor in his heart.

He could tell that his senior sister's voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if she were simply recounting something ordinary.

It's hard to imagine just how strong this senior sister must be to say such things so calmly.

Fulanwu looked at Lin Ye and gave him a gentle smile.

"Junior brother, with your talent and the blessing of the Thunder Punishment and Calamity, perhaps one day we will see you personally break through Senior Sister's Thunder Qi of Righteousness and Evil."

Lin Ye took a deep breath. "Senior Sister, you flatter me. I haven't even set foot in the Secret Martial Arts Academy yet, so I dare not speak of it."

Fulanwu smiled and nodded, then continued explaining the Secret Martial Realm.

"After absorbing the evil and condensing the qi, once the true qi fills all the meridians and acupoints of the body, this level of heaven will come to an end."

"Then comes the second level of refinement, which involves fusing the true essence within the body with the blood essence in the blood, transforming it into a void aura."

"The Void Force is like an enhanced shock zone, except that its range is no longer limited by size and can be moved at will."

"Back then, your second senior brother once used a false energy strike to split an armored vehicle in two."

Lin Ye was shocked. Slicing through an armored vehicle, such attack power was simply terrifying.

"Once the true qi in the body and the blood shock are completely integrated into one, the second level will be perfected."

Fulanwu then began to speak, recounting his story in detail.

"The third level is to refine the void into the real, condensing the illusory energy into solid energy, which is to transform it into true energy. The cultivation of this level is precisely to continuously compress and solidify the true energy."

"Theoretically speaking, there is no limit to the third level, because compressing true qi is a process, not a stage, and therefore has no end."

Listening to Fulanwu's description, Lin Ye couldn't help but be shocked. A realm without theoretical limits?

Is this reasonable?

"Theoretically, there isn't, meaning there are actually limits?" he asked.

Fulan smiled slightly, "Not bad."

"The universally acknowledged limit of true qi is the pinnacle of hard qigong."

"At this stage, one can instantly transform their physical body into a three-meter-tall giant, using an overwhelming gale to suppress all enemies."

As she said this, she looked at Lin Ye and gave him a bright smile, which made Lin Ye lose himself in thought.

"With your talent, it's not difficult for you to get to this point. You should prepare some more elastic clothes for the future."

Lin Ye smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, "Senior Sister, be serious."

Fulanwu tilted his head slightly, smiled, and did not respond.

"However, the so-called True Qi Limit is actually just a difficult point to reach in True Qi, not the real limit."

"You must remember this and not be negligent when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye's expression turned serious. "Junior brother understands."

Fulanwu nodded. "Things become a bit special once you reach the fourth level of the Secret Martial Realm."

"We need to find another source of malevolent energy from heaven and earth, and consume it before we can set foot here."

Lin Ye nodded slightly and looked at Fu Lanwu, "Then, does the Heavenly and Earthly Fiend Qi used at this time need to be the same as the Heavenly and Earthly Fiend Qi used during Devouring Fiend Condensation?"

Fulanwu shook his head. "They can be the same or they can not."

"This is the fourth level of the realm, which is called refining the Qi and condensing the evil. It involves taking another strand of evil Qi to transform the true Qi into evil Qi."

"If they are consistent, they can go further in the original direction, but since they are the same kind, the effect will be reduced."

"It is often only when the secret martial arts are ordinary and only one of the evil spirits can be used that the secret martial arts practitioners make this choice."

"If it's like you and me, we can choose another inauspicious omen to use, and the effect will not be affected."

As she said this, she waved her hand lightly, and three patches of light and shadow appeared in front of Lin Ye.

A surging, blood-red cloud, a howling, deep blue ocean, and a raging, dark blue hurricane.

"These three kinds of evil energies of heaven and earth are: the fire element, the blazing qi that coats the clouds; the water element, the combined qi that gathers in the deep sea; and the wind element, the cloud qi that hurricanes destroy."

"They are all the most powerful offensive celestial and malevolent energies among the three types, and they all complement the Thunder Qi Punishment Qi."

"If you want this Fire Elephant Fiend, I can get it for you. As for the other two Fiends, I can only try and cannot guarantee anything."

Lin Ye looked at the three pieces of light and shadow in front of him, and some inexplicable thoughts came to his mind.

He really didn't expect that his senior sister had already planned this far for him.

"Senior Sister, I... Senior Sister has a broad vision, so I will leave the decision to Senior Sister."

Upon hearing this, Fulanwu lowered his head slightly in thought.

"Then let's take the Yan Tu Yun Sha, which, along with the Lei Fa Jie Sha, is known as the strongest attack. In terms of offensive power alone, it is even stronger than the other two."

Lin Ye nodded. "Thank you, Senior Sister."

With a light wave of his hand, Fulanwu caused the three pieces of light and shadow to disappear.

"There's no need for that. As the senior disciple of our sect, it's only right that I do it."

After she finished speaking, she continued to describe the final realm.

"Reaching the stage of refining qi and condensing evil is the end of ordinary secret martial arts."

"Usually, they start cultivating their spirit from this level."

"However, our sect's Whale Killing Divine Qi is a top-tier secret martial art, and it also has a fifth level, Refining Evil and Transforming into God."

"To refine external evil into a wisp of innate spiritual light, transforming it into an inner spirit, and to enlighten the Qi of the universe, is called Divine Qi."

As Lin Ye listened to Fu Lanwu's story, he gained some understanding, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

What is innate spiritual light? How does it transform into an inner spirit? How does one infuse it with vital energy?

Seeing Lin Ye deep in thought, Fulanwu interrupted his thoughts.

"If your understanding is insufficient, you can only grasp the basics. When you reach the required level and have practical experience, you will naturally understand."

Lin Ye exhaled a breath of stale air, almost losing his composure.

Fulanwu pushed the boxing manual on the stone table in front of Lin Ye.

"The Blood Refining and Entering the Zhen Realm is the threshold for secret martial arts practitioners. After that, there are five levels: True Qi, False Qi, True Qi, Fiend Qi, and Divine Qi, which is the peak."

"You've reached the end of your cultivation journey. As per the rules, Senior Sister will give you one last reminder."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye sat up slightly.

"Please speak, Senior Sister."

Fulanwu nodded. "Secret weapons are poisonous. They are powerful, but they rarely die a good death. Their physical condition will rapidly decline after a certain point, and few live past a hundred years old."

Lin Ye was startled and quickly asked, "Why is this happening?"

Fulanwu shook his head. "Perhaps it's the heavens being jealous."

She had seen too many martial artists whose lives ended abruptly. Of those, she had killed less than 70% with her own hands; the rest had died of their own grievous wounds after she had severely injured them.

She looked at Lin Ye and said, "If you are afraid, then stop in front of the Miwu Gate. You will live a long and healthy life, free from illness and disaster, and have a peaceful end."

"Several elderly people who work in the back office and sweep the floors at the main branch chose this option."

Lin Ye shook his head slightly upon hearing this, without the slightest hesitation.

"I'd rather cultivate demonic and secret martial arts that lead to a short life than seek immortality like an ordinary mortal."

Upon hearing Lin Ye's reply, Fulanwu's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded slowly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, then I wish you that one day you can see the view from the top of Miwu."

Lin Ye smiled as well, "Thank you for your kind words, Senior Sister."

Fulanwu stood up, stretched, and his long indigo hair shone brightly.

"Go find your second senior brother, he's waiting for you."
