The heart fire doesn't seem to be enough. A thought stirred in Huang Xiao's mind, and he continued to kindle his heart fire.
In the end, he expended nine drops of essence blood to kindle his heart fire. Only after all that heart fire had merged into the true qi did Huang Xiao feel that no more heart fire aura could be incorporated. This was the limit of this strand of true qi.
Only then did Huang Xiao clearly feel that he could control this strand of true qi.
I just don't know how much I can harness. One-tenth, two-tenths, or three-tenths? Huang Xiao wondered.
The Patriarch had once said that even if he mastered the Demon-Controlling Art, he would only be able to harness three-tenths of the "supreme demonic qi."
Thus, Huang Xiao would next have to give it a try and see just how much of the true qi he could harness.
Huang Xiao directed the true qi into his meridians. After circulating this strand of true qi through them several times, he was deeply satisfied and pleasantly surprised.
Circulating the "indestructible supreme demonic qi" now came readily to him. Although it was not as effortless as using his own true qi, it was essentially close.
After briefly familiarizing himself with it, Huang Xiao sent this strand of true qi into his right fist.
He clenched his right fist hard. Huang Xiao could feel an incomparably powerful aura filling it. Its strength might rival that of the fist techniques he had unleashed back then when drawing fully upon the Patriarch's "heavenly demon imperishable true qi."
Yet now, this was only a tiny strand of true qi. The amount he had borrowed back then had been considerably greater than this.
*Borrowing it and harnessing it really do feel different.
