A Genius One in Ten Thousand
Upon closer inspection, Chen Lingxi noticed that the wisp of spiritual energy at Xiao Changlü's fingertip was extremely thin and weak.
Like a candle about to burn out, its flame flickers precariously in the wind and clouds, as if it could be blown out at any moment.
Chen Lingxi was initially greatly surprised.
"Is Xiao Changlü also Rebirth Realm person?"
He then realized what was happening.
"This spiritual energy is so weak, it's probably only at the second level of Second Level of Qi Circulation... If Xiao Changlü is truly Rebirth Realm person, and his Qi-Blood Martial Dao could reach the Mystic Entry Realm, how could his Qi Circulation Realm cultivation be limited to the second level?"
Xiao Changlü sat upright on the Longevity Bridge, the spiritual energy on his fingers slowly fading away.
He looked down at his fingers, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"I have also captured several people from beyond the realm and practiced their Qi Circulation Realm methods."
Xiao Changlü spoke, his voice deep and resonant as ever, echoing across the Longevity Bridge, drowning out the howling wind.
"In fact, there are more than just two or three people who practice this method of the Qi Circulation Realm with me."
I have countless powerful warriors under my command, and I once selected twelve of them to cultivate this method with me."
His eyes sparkled, reflecting the magnificent sunset at the edge of the sky and the ever-flowing spiritual light on the Longevity Bridge.
Surprisingly, it was filled with a great deal of helplessness!
"The world is so vast, it probably contains hundreds of millions of people."
As for me, Xiao Changlü, I consider myself the best in the world... I have come a long way, and I don't know how smoothly things have gone.
I wanted to participate in the imperial examination, and I became the top scholar!
"I want to cultivate the Qi-Blood Martial Dao, and then I can obtain a level Twelve Profound Realm cultivation!"
"Throughout my spiritual practice, I have never encountered any obstacles or bottlenecks."
For me, cultivating Qi and Blood is like a craftsman building a high wall; by simply adding bricks and tiles, the wall can grow higher and higher.
It doesn't even require any particularly advanced skills.
If someone else had said these words, it would undoubtedly have been considered self-praise.
But when Xiao Changlü spoke, everything seemed ordinary, as if he were stating something perfectly commonplace.
Simply because everything he said was true.
At this point, Xiao Changlü abruptly changed the subject, his tone also revealing a hint of helplessness.
"But this cultivation of the Qi Circulation Realm is different." His voice deepened slightly. "I have cultivated spiritual Qi for many years, and even though I have obtained many treasures containing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and also sought out Wu Mohe for many elixirs."
But I can only cultivate such a wisp of spiritual energy... Chen Lingxi, what do you think of this wisp of Spiritual Qi of mine?"
Chen Lingxi replied, "This wisp of spiritual energy is extremely weak, like a candle flame in the wind."
If we consider Tower Ascension, this wisp of Spiritual Qi would probably only be found on the Second Level of Qi Circulation.
"The second floor..." Xiao Changlü sighed, "The path of the Qi Circulation Realm has a maximum of Twelfth Floor! I have cultivated diligently for many years, yet I have only achieved the second floor. It's truly laughable!"
He turned his head and looked directly at Chen Lingxi.
"Therefore, I discovered that this method of the Qi Circulation Realm seems to contain some kind of limitation for us, the people of this world."
We are destined not to attain enlightenment or cultivate ourselves on this path of the Qi Circulation Realm.
At this point, Xiao Changlü's eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared at Chen Lingxi: "Chen Lingxi, let me ask you this: you say you are not from outside the realm, so how could you have cultivated this Qi Circulation Realm technique to such a level?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head again to gaze at the Longevity Bridge beneath his body.
At this moment, the Longevity Bridge shone with spiritual light, hanging high in the clouds, radiant and filled with mystery and extraordinary power.
The intricate and ancient runes on the bridge surface reflected and swirled in his eyes, like tiny dragons weaving through a shimmering light.
He sat on the Longevity Bridge, formed from Spiritual Qi, and could vaguely sense the terrifying spiritual energy within it.
"Even the spiritual energy on this long bridge surpasses mine by a thousand times or a hundred times."
Upon hearing Xiao Changlü's words, Chen Lingxi couldn't help but frown slightly.
He pondered silently to himself.
"Thinking back carefully, I have been on the path of cultivation for more than two years, and soon it will be three years."
"But in the past three years, I have met many martial arts masters and many people in high positions."
These people probably also knew of the existence of people from beyond the realm, and among them there should have been individuals like Xiao Changlü who had explored the path of the Qi Circulation Realm...
"However, to this day, I have never encountered a single native who practices breathing exercises or embarks on the path of the Qi Circulation Realm!"
"There is only one Lin Longyue, who is very likely to embark on the path of cultivation."
This is all thanks to the mysterious and profound Mysterious Qi within her body."
As Chen Lingxi reflected on this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He muttered to himself, "Could I be a one-in-a-million genius?"
He has come this far because of the mysterious Divine Chamber in his mind and the two heaven-defying supernatural Divine Ability of Sight-Roaming and Total Perception.
However, if he was unable to cultivate spiritual energy or sense spiritual energy from the beginning, even with the Divine Ability of Sight-Roaming and Total Perception, it would probably be of no use.
"Moreover... there are countless geniuses in the world, so why did this Divine Chamber fall into my mind of its own?"
Chen Lingxi pondered this in her heart, but could not find a solution.
Xiao Changlü stared at Chen Lingxi silently, without saying a word.
It is like a silent mountain.
Chen Lingxi was still pondering. "According to the Six-Qi True Method, only those with spiritual energy can inhale and exhale spiritual energy. Undoubtedly, I am one of those with spiritual energy."
But there are far too few people with such a spirit.
Are Xiao Changlü and his twelve subordinates all devoid of spirits?
Or perhaps, as Xiao Changlü said, there is a strange power within this Cave Heaven that restricts the spiritual cultivation of those within Cave Heaven?
If that's the case, how is he able to cultivate spiritual energy?
Chen Lingxi was completely baffled.
Just then, Chen Lingxi's Divine Sense stirred slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at a mountain in the far distance!
That mountain was extremely high, the highest mountain in Azure Splendor Prefecture, and was named Flowing Cloud Mountain.
Flowing Cloud Mountain is about 150 li away from here.
At such a great distance, even the best eyesight of an ordinary person would only be able to see a blurry patch of snow at the mountain peak, unable to even discern the outline of the mountainside.
But how astonishing were Chen Lingxi's eyesight?
Even from a distance of 150 miles away, the vegetation and rocks on the mountain were all within his sight.
At this moment, he clearly saw that on Flowing Cloud Mountain, there was a person with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with surging and mysterious Qi and Blood, looking over many distances towards this place.
The Qi and Blood were extremely pure and condensed, like two blood-red stars compressed to the extreme embedded in the person's eye sockets.
Because of this Qi and Blood, his gaze pierced through 150 miles of Void, through the clouds and mist in the sky, and through the spiritual light flowing on the Longevity Bridge.
It fell straight on him.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his imposing presence was awe-inspiring!
Chen Lingxi naturally knew who this person was!
This man was dressed in a python robe and possessed an incomparably powerful and imposing aura.
The python robe fluttered wildly in the gale on Flowing Cloud Mountain, and the five-clawed python pattern on it gleamed with a deep, dark gold hue in the afterglow of the setting sun.
It was as if a real giant python was coiled around him, constantly emitting a cold light that seemed to devour its prey.
He stood there, his entire being radiating Qi and Blood like a volcano about to erupt.
Although it had not yet erupted, the unimaginable pressure had already caused the clouds within a radius of several dozen feet to freeze, not moving an inch!
His aura was even more fierce and powerful than that of Xiao Zhushan, who had monopolized Demon Lord Zhang and six other Qi and Blood Battle Formation experts.
At this moment, the man's eyes flashed with murderous intent intent as he looked towards this area.
The killing intent was so intense it was almost tangible, like two invisible swords shooting out from his pupils, piercing through the rosy clouds and mist, and through the shimmering spiritual light on the Longevity Bridge!
It pierced straight down there!
This person was not looking at Xiao Changlü, but at Chen Lingxi.
Chen Lingxi raised an eyebrow and immediately guessed the person's identity!
It was none other than the Eastern King of the Mystic Entry Realm!
Chen Lingxi also looked towards the person in the distance.
Although he had never met this person before, they had already formed a deep-seated hatred, making him more cautious than anyone else.
This was all because the Eastern King's daughter, Yunhe Commandery Princess, Ying Ju, had both died at his hands.
However, the Eastern King only had one son and one daughter, two bloodlines.
Two bloodlines died at the hands of one person.
This truly deserves to be called a blood feud, an irreconcilable enmity!
Xiao Changlü naturally sensed the Eastern King's gaze and said to Chen Lingxi, "The Eastern King hates you to the bone. Now that he knows where you are, he will definitely come to kill you once you step out of the territory of my Severing Evil Heavenly Army."
As he finished speaking, he tapped the Longevity Bridge with his finger.
"Although your spiritual energy is extremely abundant, it is still far from enough to contend with the Eastern King."
Chen Lingxi seemed unafraid at all. He gently shook his head and said, "I killed his son and daughter. It's not surprising that he came to kill me today."
and..."
"I dare to come to Azure Splendor Prefecture to meet the Heavenly King because I am not afraid of the Eastern King."
When he said these words, his eyes showed no concern and no fear whatsoever.
The Eastern King's killing intent was as fierce as a knife; even from a distance of 150 miles, it could still pierce his brow, causing a deep chill.
But his body stood straight, like an old pine tree rooted in the mountain, unmoved by any storm!
Xiao Changlü had some differences.
He looked at Chen Lingxi's composed demeanor, a hint of undisguised approval flashing in his eyes.
He then added, "Don't underestimate this Eastern King of the Mystic Entry Realm. He is a formidable warrior and once killed a cultivator who had ascended to the Heavenward Realm."
The body was sent to the imperial palace.
Underestimating him is a death sentence.
Chen Lingxi asked curiously, "Heavenly King, may I ask you for guidance?"
Xiao Changlü nodded slightly.
Chen Lingxi asked, "Although I cultivate the Qi-Blood Martial Dao, I have only obtained an ordinary Qi and Blood Cultivation Method, which can only be cultivated to the Nine Revolutions level."
Therefore, they did not know how to distinguish between those who Mystic Entry Realm.
Xiao Changlü looked Chen Lingxi up and down. He could see that Chen Lingxi's Qi and Blood and qi were flowing and surging.
It didn't look like he had cultivated an ordinary Qi and Blood Cultivation Method at all.
He replied, "The so-called ' Mystic Entry Realm' means that the Qi and Blood Mystic Entry Realm, and the mysteries are inherent in every strand of Qi and Blood."
Such mystical abilities can even modify the physical body and extend lifespan.
The strength of a cultivator Mystic Entry Realm lies in how many times they have Mystic Entry Realm!
Xiao Changlü paused slightly, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Take my younger brother Xiao Zhushan, for example."
He has entered the Six Profound Realm and become Six Profound Realm expert, with an incomparably powerful aura!
He is far superior to even a figure like Demon Lord Zhang of the Fourth Profound.
Xiao Changlü then pointed to the Eastern King on Flowing Cloud Mountain in the distance.
"And that Eastern King has already cultivated to the Nine Profound Realm, which shows how powerful he is."
"Nine Profound Realm Warriors..." Chen Lingxi recalled Xiao Changlü's words from earlier.
The Eastern King once killed a cultivator from the Tenth Level of Heavenward Realm.
Therefore, it can be concluded that these Nine Profound Realm Warriors, in terms of combat strength, are probably even stronger than the Tenth Level of Heavenward Realm!
"With my current cultivation level, it seems I am still no match for the Eastern King."
Chen Lingxi pondered in her heart.
Xiao Changlü also turned his gaze away from Flowing Cloud Mountain and focused on Chen Lingxi.
The questioning in his eyes was self-evident.
Chen Lingxi noticed Xiao Changlü's gaze and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
He suddenly looked directly at Xiao Changlü and laughed, "Heavenly King, is it because you yourself have not yet mastered the art of the Qi Circulation Realm that you do not believe I am not from beyond this realm?"
Xiao Changlü slowly stood up, as if a high mountain were rising straight up!
He walked to the Longevity Bridge, with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, a gust of wind rose from the high heavens, causing his moon-white robe to flutter and his white jade belt to sway gently.
The sea of clouds outside the bridge surged beneath his feet, and the glow of the sunset outlined his figure as a golden-red silhouette.
His tone was utterly confident as he declared, "If I cannot succeed, then no one in the world can!"
Xiao Changlü was extremely confident, and when he said these words, it was as if he were stating an irrefutable ironclad rule.
But at that moment, Chen Lingxi chuckled softly.
"There are countless heroes in the world, Heavenly King, do you know when I began to learn martial arts, and when I began to practice this method?"
