Dreaming of Exploiting Bugs

While Tang Ya absorbed her Soul Ring, Qian Chaoguang and Beibei studied his Light Mimicry together.

After half an hour of research, he felt that he might have underestimated this skill.

In theory, Light Mimicry could indeed produce effects identical to Light Impact or even Light Interference. However, it consumed more Soul Power and Spiritual Power, and also required Heart Separation Control, making it somewhat not worth the effort.

In Qian Chaoguang's view, he would rather attach Extreme Ice Light to his blade and charge straight through with sparks and lightning flying.

Low consumption, long duration, and excellent results.

He could hack all the way from Chenghua Avenue to Erxian Bridge without stopping.

Even Beibei did not know how to evaluate such an outrageously absurd skill.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he could not believe that a Wind Baboon could condense a skill like this.

Yet the facts were right before him, so he could only attribute it to the strange nature of the Extreme Ice Light Martial Soul.

Absorbing a Thousand Year Soul Ring took quite a long time. Beibei scattered some beast-repelling powder he carried around the area to guard against a sudden attack by Soul Beasts.

After some time, Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes. A sharp gleam shone from her bright eyes, and her entire spirit had improved tremendously.

"I succeeded!"

Tang Ya excitedly sprang up from the ground and threw herself into Beibei's arms, giving him a big hug.

"Beibei, thank you."

Beibei held her delicate body, and the smile on his face gained a touch of indulgent affection.

"I promised to help you fulfill your dream, so I would definitely do it."

Tang Ya nestled happily in Beibei's arms, but then she caught sight of Qian Chaoguang standing nearby, grinning foolishly with his eyes wide open as he stared at them.

Realizing there was still a third wheel here, she blushed shyly and hurriedly broke free from Beibei's embrace.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a teacher-student romance before?"

Teacher-student romance?

That's it? That's it? That's it?

What's so novel about that?

Could it compare to Arch Dam Bros' kinks?

Could it compare to River Dam Bros' kinks?

Could it compare to the Tang Family Furry Fetish?

Making a fuss over nothing!

Although Qian Chaoguang dearly wanted to answer like that, he could only put on an innocent expression and obediently shook his head so as not to ruin his persona.

"Sister Tang Ya, I really haven't. My younger sister and I have been diligently cultivating all these years."

Beibei coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

"Alright. Since you've finished absorbing your Soul Ring, we should leave this place quickly. There have been more and more incidents in the Star Dou Great Forest in recent years, so we shouldn't delay."

"Let's go."

By then, the sky had already begun to darken. The Star Dou Great Forest was clearly not a suitable place to spend the night.

After about an hour, they returned to the small forest where the three of them had first met. Following another meal of roasted meat, Tang Ya soon fell asleep. Beibei kept watch, while Qian Chaoguang immersed himself in cultivation.

If the Qi Refining Art during the Three Refining Stages had been purely for fun, then the current Qi Refining Art had completely entered the right track.

Within his broad, resilient Meridians, energy surged freely like a river, making Qian Chaoguang feel comfortable from head to toe as a faint burning sensation emanated from his entire body.

Inside his Dantian, a golden vortex spun rapidly, like a black hole capable of devouring all things in the world, drawing in the surrounding World Origin Energy with tremendous efficiency.

After entering the Dantian, this mist-like World Origin Energy was swiftly refined by the Soul Power Vortex into glistening drops of liquid. They flowed continuously down the pale-gold trapezoidal Foundation, solidifying as they went and gradually thickening it.

At the same time, this Soul Power continuously stimulated the Bloodline Power within Qian Chaoguang's body, refining and circulating alongside it as it elevated his body once more.

The Golden Body Art had entered its second level, and the surging, vigorous Bloodline Power within him, as heavy as lead and mercury, had undergone a special transformation.

When his Bloodline Power circulated to its limit, it could form a special state of power known as Blood Qi Wolf Smoke.

It was named for its resemblance to the wolf smoke released by a beacon after it was lit.

The second realm of the Golden Body Art was named after this as well.

If Blood Qi Wolf Smoke was circulated along the Meridians and blood vessels in a specific pattern, it could even be projected outward to attack opponents or form a protective layer around the user.

Therefore, a powerful physique was indispensable if one wished to wield such formidable power.

Tempering his blood vessels and Meridians until they completed their transformation had become Qian Chaoguang's most important cultivation direction at his current stage, and it was also an essential prerequisite for advancing to Soul Elder.

When the dark sky gradually turned dark blue and a streak of white slowly appeared in the distance, Qian Chaoguang's night of cultivation finally began to draw to a close.

After several hours of accumulation, a Barely Perceptible raised layer had appeared beneath the Foundation. Once this rise formed a complete second layer of Foundation, Qian Chaoguang's cultivation would undergo a qualitative transformation.

By his estimate, the second layer of Foundation would not fully take shape until after he advanced to Soul Elder.

There was no need to rush the cultivation of his Spiritual Power. Whenever he circulated the Qi Refining Art, the Spirit Communication Art would circulate along with it.

After the Spirit Communication Art had fully entered the Divine Sense realm, the Visualization Diagram had completely manifested in his mind.

The diagram each person visualized differed. At the center of Qian Chaoguang's Sea of Consciousness was the image of a long blade.

After the Visualization Diagram manifested, even if he did not actively cultivate, his Spiritual Power would steadily increase at an extremely slow pace.

"Phew..."

Qian Chaoguang slowly ended his cultivation and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Beibei and Tang Ya had already begun cultivating the Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eye while taking advantage of this time.

Having already developed Divine Sense, Qian Chaoguang also faced east and saw that faint thread of Purple Qi.

He tried to capture a wisp with his Divine Sense and draw it into his eyes.

A cool sensation slowly flowed through his eyes, making his vision slightly clearer.

After refining it, his Spiritual Power increased by an almost imperceptible amount.

For Qian Chaoguang, who cultivated the Spirit Communication Art, relying on the Purple Demon Eye to cultivate Spiritual Power was simply far too slow.

The daily cultivation time was only that tiny amount, roughly a quarter of an hour.

Without an immortal herb like Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to cheat with, it was practically impossible to cultivate it to the final Vast Realm.

Watching Tang Ya and Beibei cultivate so earnestly, Qian Chaoguang could not help letting his imagination run wild as he thought of a certain tactic from the empire on Blue Star that claimed the sun never set.

If he kept moving at high speed when the sun was rising, could he continuously capture Purple Qi and cultivate the Purple Demon Eye twenty-four hours a day?

Once his cultivation reached a sufficient level, he could try it with Xiao Tong using a Flying Soul Tool.

Twenty-four consecutive hours of cultivation in a single day would equal more than three months for an ordinary Purple Demon Eye cultivator. He could definitely max out his proficiency quickly.

When Beibei and Tang Ya finished cultivating, the purple in Beibei's eyes gradually faded. Having gone a whole day without sleep, his face was somewhat pale.

He patted Qian Chaoguang on the shoulder and said, "Chaoguang, I'll rest for a while first. We'll leave afterward."

Qian Chaoguang nodded. "Alright, Brother Bei."

An hour later, Beibei awoke from cultivation, and his exhaustion had vanished completely.

Qian Chaoguang was currently seizing the time to cultivate, leaving only a thread of Divine Sense outside to prevent any unexpected incidents.

A night's cultivation had made him realize that his accumulation of Soul Power was far too profound. Breaking through to the next realm would likely be much more difficult than he had previously estimated.

After all, what restricted his breakthrough was not only his accumulation of Soul Power, but also his Spiritual Power and physical constitution.
