Myriad Forms Chapter

Myriad Forms Chapter

Qin Yun's affair caused no small stir within the True Martial Sect, leaving the True Disciples somewhat disheartened.

Ning Qi gradually returned to his previous cultivation routine. Yet whenever he browsed the books Qin Yun had left behind, he could not help thinking of this former Eighth Senior Brother, wondering what their next meeting would be like.

But time could smooth over everything.

The True Martial Sect gradually returned to its former state.

Everyone united as one, preparing for the approaching Celestial Being Ceremony.

Perhaps influenced by Qin Yun's affair, Dragon Mountain Daoist entered seclusion. Once he emerged, he would surely have reached the Heaven-Human Realm! Another year came, with peach blossoms in full bloom.

This year, the peach blossoms outside the Seeking Dao Institute were even more vivid and radiant.

Ye Qinghe picked some more to make Peach Blossom Wine. Secretly, she resolved that she had to succeed this time. But she did not broadcast it everywhere; instead, she decided to work quietly, then astonish everyone.

Ning Qi chuckled to himself.

White Ape had already told him that Ye Qinghe had secretly sought him out, using both threats and inducements to make White Ape brew a batch in secret as well.

If hers succeeded, she would use hers. If it failed, she would use White Ape's.

Ning Qi found himself a wicker lounge chair and lay beneath a peach tree.

At ease and utterly content.

He was now over six years old, but he looked no different from a young boy of around ten. Dressed in a Daoist Robe, his gaze was calm, and he naturally carried an extraordinary air.

He was pondering the Energy Conversion Method of the Great Dream Nine Deaths Technique.

"Energy conversion is, in essence, giving Inner Strength different attributes. Some attributes do not require external objects—for example, Shaking Heaven Strength, Quaking Earth Strength, and Overturning Sea Strength."

"But some attributes do require external objects. Take Ice Silkworm Strength: it says it is best cultivated with treasures of extreme cold, which can make one's Inner Strength more powerful. Yet one can cultivate it without external objects as well; its might simply will not be as great."

"What I seek is not merely a single attribute. I need to encompass all forms, just like the Myriad Forms Origin Stake from back then."

Ning Qi had gradually comprehended his own path.

With Max Level Comprehension, he was destined to differ from ordinary people.

To fuse ten thousand paths into one—perhaps that would help him attain the supreme and walk farther down the road.

"Over these days, I have read countless Inner Strength cultivation techniques—some from the Scripture Pavilion, some left behind by Eighth Senior Brother. So-called Inner Strength attributes are essentially different routes formed by Inner Strength within the human body, producing all manner of distinct qualities."

"If that is the case, then as long as I keep those routes unfixed, I can switch between them freely at any time."

Ning Qi looked up as a peach blossom petal slowly drifted down.

He casually caught it between his fingers and smiled.

He studied the Ninety-Two Energy Conversion Methods, comprehending the essence of energy conversion. Then he observed the myriad forms of heaven and earth, testing all kinds of routes.

At this moment, he had finally understood.

Within his body.

His already incomparably condensed Inner Strength began revolving continuously, transforming into all kinds of unique routes at his command.

A trace of Inner Strength erupted through Ning Qi's palm, carrying a blazing, fiery heat. The vivid peach blossom petal actually ignited without wind or flame.

But it was not over yet.

The route of Inner Strength within his body changed. The fiery heat vanished, replaced by extreme cold. With a series of Crack Crack sounds, the burning petal was instantly frozen, becoming an ice sculpture of breathtaking beauty.

Ning Qi's thoughts stirred once more.

His fingers did not move, yet a thread of Inner Strength slipped forth and gave a faint tremor.

The ice sculpture turned into streams of powder, glittering like fine sand as it fell through Ning Qi's fingers.

Delight filled Ning Qi's eyes.

"Inner Strength can transform freely, its attributes switched at will, encompassing all forms. This is the Myriad Forms Chapter of the Great Dream Nine Deaths Technique—the Energy Conversion Method of the Great Dream Nine Deaths Technique."

"My Inner Strength can be searingly hot or bitterly cold. It can 'vibrate' or 'rotate.' It can even carry Sha Qi and deadly poison, and strike terror into the soul like a Divine Tiger Ancient Eagle. Better still, its attributes can be layered—extreme cold together with vibration."

This was what Ning Qi had gained over this period.

Achieving this was far from easy. Once others converted their Inner Strength routes, those routes became fixed, while Ning Qi's could shift without end. This placed immense demands on the Physical Body, and only Ning Qi's immensely solid bodily foundation allowed him to accomplish it.

For anyone else, their Physical Body would likely collapse and kill them in moments.

"Still, there is a long road ahead before the Myriad Forms Chapter can truly encompass all forms."

It was not that Ning Qi's comprehension was insufficient, but that there were too few existing Energy Conversion Methods—only ninety-two. Using them as a foundation, Ning Qi had created many more Inner Strength attributes himself, yet that was still not enough. If he collected new Energy Conversion Methods in the future, he could simply incorporate them as well.

"With the Myriad Forms Chapter, my strength has grown even greater."

Inner Strength imbued with attributes possessed power that "three-no" Inner Strength could not match.

For instance, if Ning Qi struck out with a palm now, he could freeze someone into an ice sculpture. Before, he could only use brute force to beat someone to death.

"Next, I will focus single-mindedly on reaching Inner Yuan Grand Completion. With how condensed my Inner Strength is, I will then be able to extend it beyond my body."

Ning Qi was rather looking forward to that.

The Laser Swords in the film and television works of his previous life had always fascinated him. The effect of extending Inner Strength beyond the body was essentially equivalent to a Laser Sword, except it could not be fired away from the body.

With a goal in sight.

Ning Qi cultivated with even greater drive.

With the Great Dream Nine Deaths Technique, his cultivation speed had always been fast.

In just over a year, he had already reached the fifth layer of inner essence, and now he was on the verge of completing the sixth layer.

Within the Seeking Dao Institute.

The peach blossoms were in glorious bloom. With Ning Qi's perception, he could tell that more disciples had been coming and going from the Scripture Pavilion lately than before.

News of Qin Yun's betrayal of the True Martial Sect had long spread throughout both the outer and inner sects. Some were furious, some mourned the loss, but others rejoiced—because with Qin Yun gone, it meant Dragon Mountain Daoist was very likely to take another disciple. Some disciples wanted to seize this chance to soar into the heavens.

Ning Qi saw nothing wrong with that. It was only human nature.

People climbed toward higher ground.

He simply cultivated in silence.

Perhaps because of what had happened to Qin Yun, his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters had also begun visiting much more often, showing Ning Qi great concern.

They feared that one day Ning Qi might also develop a Heart Demon. They did not want to endure that same pain a second time.

Ning Qi was not impatient with them.

Gradually, he came to feel that pursuing immortality did not mean cultivating oneself into an emotionless, indifferent machine of the Dao. In the past, he might have wished for more time alone, more time to grow, but now he felt that one should cherish the people before one's eyes.

Whenever his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters came, he would chat with them cheerfully. In truth, it did not delay much time at all.

And so.

At the height of the peach blossoms' splendor.

Ning Qi encountered the opportunity for his fifth feigned death.

His Inner Strength and Physical Body had already forged a complete connection. He only needed this fifth feigned death to advance into the Six Layer Realm. Then, he could experience the exhilaration of the 'Laser Sword.'

But just as he was preparing to head to the Treasure Vault and collect some resources for the feigned death.

Luo Wentian brought him tremendously exciting news, making Ning Qi temporarily halt in his tracks.
