Great Staff God (Bonus 10/76)

Qin Yi could make an egg-sized preparation...

Originally, it was thought that Liusu would need to recover to the state of Wuxiang before he could cause any kind of upheaval in the world. By then, Liusu would be incredibly powerful and would have reached the Qianyuan stage, which would allow him to handle most situations.

I never expected that just as the Qian Yuan Qi was about to be full, it would already be this exaggerated...

Perhaps it's related to the power of the Jianmu tree; its vitality is indeed overwhelming and unstoppable, making it particularly effective in reviving Liusu and Gouzi, because this is "healing" rather than "cultivation."

Once Liusu and Gouzi begin to recover using this place, the commotion will be particularly noticeable, because it is not Qian Yuan cultivating, but rather the great powers of Taiqing and Wuxiang rapidly reviving.

Therefore, the resulting strange phenomena were particularly exaggerated.

The Liusu said only those connected to this tree would be aware of it, which is slightly better; at least they won't be targeted by the Heavenly Being, who would absolutely annihilate them with overwhelming force. If the Dragon Son are aware, at least they won't inexplicably develop a "must-kill" mentality. After all, they might not know who the white-clad creature is, and the black dog is, after all, their childhood friend; the dog hasn't said it has any grudge against them, which is better.

But in any case, I have to keep up with my own cultivation, and the sense of urgency is getting stronger.

Spiritual practice is not just about sitting in meditation; sitting in meditation has always been Liusu by the lineage of Buddhist teachings.

Dual cultivation is a form of spiritual practice, fighting is a form of spiritual practice, Cloud Wandering is a form of spiritual practice.

I experienced this firsthand at Transient Peak, and it remained consistent throughout this Land of Chaos. Farming is a form of cultivation, alchemy is a form of cultivation, painting and playing music are all forms of cultivation, and alchemy is certainly a form of cultivation as well.

When refining pills, the more advanced the pill, the more obvious the effect becomes. One must be single-minded, operate one's Law Power to the limit, and concentrate one's spirit on every single flame. When the pill is completed, it is a kind of perfection that comes from nothingness after wholehearted dedication. That is cultivation.

This No Form Pill is no ordinary pill; its completion will allow Qin Yi to advance to a higher level.

This alchemy attempt almost went out of control at the beginning.

Because the aura of the Jianmu tree permeated the Pill Furnace, its efficiency in catalyzing the pills was ridiculously high. The speed at which the pills condensed was like a sports car with its brakes failed, almost causing Qin Yi's Law Power to go out of control. Fortunately, the aura of the Jianmu tree was solid, stable, and extremely peaceful, making it unlikely to cause the furnace to explode. Qin Yi adapted a little and managed to regain control of the new speed.

But the result of the accelerated catalysis was that he really didn't dare to be distracted at all. The changes in the world caused by the Liusu on both sides and the dog frantically absorbing life energy were extremely noisy, but he quickly became deaf to them, as if he were in the most bustling street but in seclusion.

This is a calm mind.

The Daoist Five Periods and Seven Phases refer to the cultivation process of the Phoenix when it first arrives at Taiqing. The Five Periods focus on the State of Mind. In the fourth period, the mind is calm with little movement. The ability to control the mind gradually improves, and movement is immediately controlled. One focuses on a single state of mind, and what is lost is quickly regained.

Qin Yi was in this state; he was not unmoved by the restless mind, but rather he could control it whenever it stirred, always maintaining focused concentration.

He has been in this state ever since he met Liusu.

Liusu didn't tell him... In fact, for others' cultivation, it's often only those with the Qian Yuan realm who possess such a mind. Take Minghe, for example; she initially seemed aloof and calm, but in reality, her heart would be thrown into turmoil if stirred appropriately. This is actually only in the second stage, when the mind is stirred and becomes scattered, difficult to subdue; this stirring action marks the beginning of progress on the path.

The ability to absorb and absorb is the beginning of progress in the Dao, and Qin Yi was able to do so from the very beginning.

A born Daoist practitioner.

Liusu didn't explain it to him in such detail, firstly because she was afraid he would become arrogant, and secondly because she was afraid that if she talked too much, it would become an emphasis on temperament. In fact, temperament is only a foundation and cannot represent cultivation. The path of cultivation requires combining too many things, and emphasizing any one aspect is biased.

Moreover, Qin Yi is not a full-time Daoist cultivator; his martial arts emphasize "movement." If we were to emphasize the meaning of movement and stillness, it would be difficult to choose between them, and we could only rely on his own talent to handle it.

He always maintained a good balance.

After an unknown amount of time, the Black Fur Ball transformed into the form of a ferocious beast, with strong limbs, vicious fangs, and an extremely ferocious face.

Liusu opened her eyes.

The beast stared at it, sniffed, and then turned back into Black Fur Ball.

The Little Ghost with Liusu became more and more solid. Before, it looked like a small white balloon, but now it was solidified like jade and had a very solid texture.

Qian Yuan's soul power reached its peak in just a few days.

The capabilities of the Jianmu tree are evident.

"For a soul to solidify into something like you, it's truly..." Gouzi sighed. "If you keep staying in this Little Ghost form, you'll turn into jade."

"You're not bad either; you recovered much faster than me," the Little Ghost said in a cool voice.

The dog said, "I am not weak because of injury. I split my soul, so there is no hindrance. As long as I have energy, I will be fine. It's different from your situation... You have no problem with the Qian Yuan Perfection, but what about the Wu Xiang? I feel that this pill may not be enough. You almost destroyed your life essence back then and barely recovered until now. Many of your Dao lines are missing. You will eventually have to slowly fill them in at the Door of Myriad Mysteries."

Liusu said calmly, "This pill definitely has benefits; at the very least, it can shorten the time. And you, Wu Xiang, how confident are you?"

"I lack energy..." Gouzi was conflicted. "I'm different from you. I just need energy, lots of energy... Once Qin Yi's pill is completed, I'll definitely have enough to replenish my life essence with pills. Achieving the Qian Yuan Perfection won't be a problem, but the energy gap to cross over to the Wu Xiang realm is huge."

Restoring the energy of the Formless Realm isn't something that can be replenished simply by eating something. Even pouring out the entire Three Rivers and Five Lakes wouldn't be enough; eating anything would be like a drop in the ocean. Even consuming Qian Yuan Biotechnology wouldn't guarantee a high conversion rate, and besides, where would one find so much Qian Yuan Biotechnology to consume...

It also takes time. If one can cultivate on the Jianmu tree for several hundred years, it might be about time. Telling Qin Yi about a few years before was just bragging.

Everyone has this feeling about the current environment: you can still strive for something after a few months or years of cultivation, but after a hundred years, the world will probably have changed completely, and after several hundred years, you might as well just turn to ashes.

Their conversation highlighted one thing—the seemingly invincible Formless-grade pills, in the eyes of outsiders, were merely supplementary effects for them, unable to play a decisive role. This was because they were destined to become Formless; it was only a matter of time before they achieved it, unlike others for whom becoming Formless was an insurmountable hurdle.

Both of them are bugs.

However, the auxiliary effect is already quite good; the greatest significance is that it can greatly shorten the time to enter the formless state.

Both of them turned their gazes toward the focused Qin Yi.

The lid of the Nether Emperor Pill Furnace began to tremble slightly, and auspicious seven-colored clouds spilled out from the furnace. Then, the fragrance blended with the life-giving aroma of the Jianmu wood and permeated the heavens.

The winds and clouds in the heavens stirred violently, and thunder suddenly gathered.

Those who seize the creations of heaven and earth will surely incur the envy of the heavens.

This is a heavenly tribulation, not an ordinary alchemical tribulation.

Outside the temple, Yu Feiling felt a chill run down her spine. What on earth was this son-in-law doing?

Why is the Great Heavenly Tribulation here? Are you advancing to the Formless Realm?

Qin Yi had no choice. Things were becoming increasingly sophisticated, constantly triggering celestial phenomena, making it impossible to quietly amass wealth. On Winged Human Island, the island's protective array offered the best cover; taking it elsewhere would be far worse. At least back in Xun Wood City, he hadn't dared One Drum of Energy forge it in one go, as that would have truly led to a riot in Xun Wood City.

"Boom!"

A purple bolt of lightning crashed down, and the Yang Fire of heaven and earth gathered from all directions, bombarding everything in its path.

A gluttonous beast reveals its true form, its mouth agape as it devours the sky.

"Boom!"

The lightning bolt struck the Taotie's mouth, and even the dog couldn't withstand it, its body crackling with purple lightning, almost exploding.

The Liusu pointed a finger into the void.

"Seal off the five elements, reverse the Two Elements... What is the basis of heavenly thunder? What is the foundation of calamity fire? Disperse!"

With a few "whoosh" sounds, the purple lightning on the dog's body disappeared completely, and it swallowed the remaining part, revealing a comfortable expression.

The tribulation clouds in the sky were still there, but the purple lightning had scattered into the void, and the surrounding yin winds and tribulation fires had nowhere to rely on, and no one knew where they had gone.

This is... Qin Yi's heart stirred slightly.

The method of chaos? Reversing Two Elements and Yang and the Five Elements, causing the power of the Five Elements to be in chaos, thus preventing the Heavenly Tribulation? That's an amazing move... Has the Bangbang reached this level?

Then Liusu pointed to the sky. "The essence of heaven and earth, as in the beginning, the Spirit Transformation has returned, this is the work of humankind. What tribulation? Go back!"

The clouds of calamity have dispersed.

Qin Yi was dumbfounded.

Is this... a command to the heavens?
