Advancing to Dou Wang
In a Mo City Map Shop with a vintage feel on the edge of the Tagor Desert, a Little Girl is busy arranging maps on the shelves.
Looking at the meticulously prepared map, the Little Girl put her hands on her hips, admired her masterpiece, and then nodded in satisfaction.
After tidying everything up, the Little Girl ran to the counter and said to an elderly man with gray hair who was engrossed in drawing a map, "Elder Hai! How much longer until Brother Lin Ming completes his advancement?"
Advancing from Dou Ling to Dou Wang is a qualitative change. Therefore, it takes much longer than a few days of normal advancement.
Based on Elder Hai's own experience of advancing to the Dou Wang level and the experience of others, this advancement takes about a year.
Hearing Qing Lin's question, Elder Hai stopped drawing, looked up at Qing Lin, and said, "Your Brother Lin Ming has been in seclusion in the secret chamber of the Earth Corridor for almost a year. He should be out of seclusion soon. Qing Lin, please wait patiently."
Meanwhile, within the Mittel Family in the Imperial City of the Jia Ma Empire, three elderly men were also engaged in discussion.
"Old Liu, is there still no news from Lin Ming?" Tengshan, Mittel in the main seat, asked.
Elder Liu sighed with worry and a hint of reproach, "Alas! No! Apart from sending a letter to the family at the beginning of the year saying he was going to advance to the Dou Wang level, we haven't heard from him since. I wonder what the situation is like for Xiao Ming now?"
Master Toso, standing nearby, chimed in, "Given Lin Ming's style, he's not a reckless person. So let's wait patiently! After all, breaking through to the Dou Wang realm takes quite a while."
After listening to their conversation, Tengshan Mittel sighed helplessly, "Well, that's all we can do."
"Clan Leader, how is Miss Zi Yan doing now?" Elder Liu asked after a moment.
After Elder Liu inquired, Mittel Tengshan explained Zi Yan's situation.
"Those who are waiting at the place where Miss Zi Yan is advancing will report on her situation every now and then. So far, there has been no unusual news about Zi Yan."
While everyone was concerned about Lin Ming, who had been in seclusion for almost a year, also reached the most critical moment.
The cultivation of Dou Qi can be generally divided into two stages.
One is to advance from Dou Qi Dou Zhe, allowing the martial artist to open up Dou Qi Vortex within their dantian.
After a martial artist advances to the level of Dou Zhe, the subsequent levels of Dou Master, Da Dou Shi, and Dou Ling are all cultivated within the Dou Qi Vortex in the dantian, allowing their Dou Qi to gradually progress from a gaseous state to a liquid state and then to a solid state.
When the Dou Qi is compressed to its limit and crystallized, this reaches the limit of how the Dou Qi Vortex can be cultivated.
Once you get here, no matter how much Dou Qi Vortex you create, it won't improve your cultivation or strength anymore.
Therefore, after reaching the Dou Ling Peak, if one wants to continue to improve their cultivation, they must enter the next stage, dispersing the Dou Crystal Dou Qi Vortex condensed in the dantian into the flesh and blood of the whole body, so that Dou Qi cultivation is no longer limited to just staying in the dantian.
Therefore, the second stage of Dou Qi cultivation is the advancement from Dou Ling to Dou Wang, which allows Dou Qi cultivation to no longer be limited to the dantian, but to permeate the entire body, enabling martial artists to interact with the Heaven and Earth Energy through their flesh and blood during battle, thereby greatly extending the duration of combat.
Furthermore, by filling one's entire body with Dou Qi, one can use this as a basis to unleash Wings of Dou Qi, which are like bird wings and allow one to fly.
Only those who possess the ability to interact with the heavens and earth through simple energy and the Wings of Dou Qi that allow them to soar through the skies can be called powerful Dou Wang.
Since Dou Wang) is already considered a strong person, the difficulty of breaking through to Dou Wang is naturally not insignificant. It requires both sufficient talent and a stroke of good fortune.
Of course, the conditions for breaking through to the Dou Wang might be difficult for others, but for Lin Ming, it wasn't a big challenge. The only thing that was somewhat difficult for Lin Ming was probably refining Dou Crystal.
During this nearly one-year period, the only thing Lin Ming did was gradually dissolve the Dou Crystal in his dantian into his entire body.
This step may seem simple, but it is extremely dangerous.
After all, everyone starts their cultivation journey by gathering their Dou Qi into their dantian.
After so many years of cultivation, a martial artist's dantian has become accustomed to collecting all the Dou Qi. Now, suddenly having to give up all that Dou Qi would be something no one would be willing to do. Therefore, the risk of advancing to the Dou Wang level is extremely high; if not handled properly, there is a risk of the dantian exploding.
Therefore, the most difficult thing for Dou Ling to advance to Dou Wang is how to melt the Dou Crystal into the martial artist's flesh and blood.
This step is a difficult one that everyone who advances to the Dou Wang level must face. If you can't do this, you can't advance to the Dou Wang level.
For Lin Ming, thanks to the experience of advancing to the Dou Wang taught by Elder Hai, coupled with his own super strong Soul Power control, he was able to achieve this.
Inside the dantian, the round Dou Crystal that was originally larger than a fist has now shrunk to the size of a grain of rice after nearly a year of dissolution.
At this moment, having reached the final step, Lin Ming roared from his mind, "Merge!"
As Lin Ming's mental shout rang out, the Five-Colored Qi Vortex within his dantian instantly began to spin at high speed.
Under the high-speed selection of the Five-Colored Qi Vortex, the Dou Crystal within Lin Ming's dantian, which had shrunk to the size of a grain of rice, was also rapidly disappearing. In a short while, apart from the rotating Five-Colored Qi Vortex, there was nothing left in Lin Ming's dantian.
The instant the Dou Crystal disappeared, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the previously peaceful secret chamber. Then, the figure who had been sitting cross-legged for nearly a year without moving suddenly emitted Five-Colored Light from behind.
The five-colored light illuminated the secret chamber brightly. Then, these lights gradually began to converge, eventually forming a pair of five-colored wings that extended out from behind the cross-legged figure.
As the five-colored wings formed, the figure who had been sitting cross-legged for a year suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
When these eyes opened, they were filled with five- Five-Colored Light, which gradually faded away after a while.
"Haha! Hahaha..." Tilting his head slightly, Lin Ming looked at the Five-Colored Wings extending from his back and burst into laughter. From this moment on, he, Lin Ming, had officially stepped into the ranks of the powerful on the continent.
Amidst the laughter Five-Colored Wings flapped suddenly, and a Five-Colored Flowing Shadow instantly covered the secret chamber.
After a while, the Five-Colored Flowing Shadow in the secret chamber stopped, and the Five-Colored Wings behind it slowly dissipated. However, a moment later, a pair of Azure-Gold Wings extended out again, drawing a cyan-gold shadow in the secret chamber.
