As soon as everyone was seated, Li Qingshan smiled slightly and casually flicked his sleeve.
With this gentle touch, the Boundary Sea remained calm and undisturbed, with the bright moon shining over the sea and sky.
However, within this small area surrounded by the three water lilies, the rules seemed to have been quietly rewritten.
Suddenly, countless subtle openings, invisible to the naked eye and ordinary divine sense, appeared in the Void. The vast and unparalleled power of the sun, moon, and stars poured down like an invisible celestial river or like gentle rain, falling from the infinitely high star realm and completely submerging this small sea.
It was not a brutal infusion of energy, but a grand, pure, and vibrant "refinement."
The rich starlight intertwined with the essence of the moon and the Sun, transforming into visible streams of pale gold, silver, and deep blue light that continuously descended, enveloping Hong Yi, Chan Yinsha, Jin Xun'er on the lotus throne, and even the old clam in the water sphere beside them.
"This is!!!"
Chan Yinsha was the first to notice something amiss. Her Yin Spirit trembled violently, stemming from a profound shock and comfort that penetrated deep into her soul.
Each strand of the descending light contained the most primordial stellar Dao rhythm and the vitality of heaven and earth. For Ghost Immortal like her who had survived the tribulation of lightning, it was not only excellent nourishment, but also able to purify her thoughts and wash away the subtle ailments and anger accumulated during her cultivation and even over the long years.
She felt every thought in her mind leap with joy, and the long-standing bottleneck in her cultivation was showing signs of dissolving.
What shocked her even more was that such a vast amount of stellar power was drawn down without causing any disturbance in the outside world. This supernatural ability to control power so meticulously and to create its own boundaries was beyond her understanding of "space" and "energy".
Hong Yi's Yin Spirit Body experienced it more directly.
He had only just entered the Manifestation Realm in his initial cultivation journey. Although his spirit was resolute, it was not without its moments of instability.
Enveloped by the starlight, it felt as if one were naked in a warm, refreshing spring, or bathing in a cold, pure galaxy. The feeling of emptiness was quickly solidified, and the Yin Spirit became more solid and clear than ever before. The agility of thought and the activity of enlightenment far surpassed that of ordinary days.
He was horrified. "In the blink of an eye, he could manipulate the celestial power across realms, subtly influencing everything—such a method is unheard of! One day of cultivation here is probably equivalent to several years of arduous training!"
The most excited of all was Jin Xun'er.
The power of the stars not only nourished her soul, but also greatly benefited her powerful physical body as a demon.
The immense stellar power permeated her shell, fascia, and internal organs, and the warm, languid feeling almost made her groan. Some ancient power deep within her bloodline seemed to be slowly reviving.
She could no longer contain herself and exclaimed joyfully, "So comfortable! Senior, your methods are much more powerful than my grandfather's! I'm no longer afraid of him dragging me back to marry someone else!"
As she spoke, she relaxed, Yin Spirit naturally left her body, transforming into the image of a girl dressed in golden clothes. Her brows still showed a childlike innocence, yet she also carried a wildness and ferocity unique to the demon race.
With a thought, the golden-clad girl's visualization changed drastically, transforming into a beautiful, dignified goddess seated on a lotus throne.
The goddess holds a pure lotus flower in her hand, her lips adorned with a gentle smile of Eternal compassion. She radiates a maternal glow that seems to soothe all wounds and embrace all suffering, bringing involuntary peace to the hearts of all who behold her.
" The Compassionate Mother Bodhisattva Form, from the Great Compassion Soul Restoration Sutra." Chan Yinsha's eyes narrowed as she recognized the origin of this image.
This is the secret teaching of the Great Zen Temple, second only to the " Past Amitabha Sutra," a supreme treasure dedicated to repairing and nourishing the soul, with the miraculous power to bring the dead back to life.
Jin Xun'er's current display, though far from perfect, already possessed a pure and profound compassion that was enough to draw attention.
Li Qingshan nodded slightly, sensing the gentle yet resilient essence of the Dao of "life".
Nourished by this immense stellar power, Jin Xun'er's playful spirit was aroused. The lotus flower in the Compassionate Mother Bodhisattva Form of Compassion gently swayed, scattering points of light containing vitality, which made the old clam in the water sphere beside him, which was already nourished by the stellar power, glow even more brightly inside its shell.
Chan Yinsha withdrew her gaze from Jin Xun'er, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.
Li Qingshan's casual action, drawing upon star power, was of paramount benefit to demons, greatly shortening their cultivation process. Its value was even comparable to the Primordial Feminine Heavenly Pearl.
If her physical body has the opportunity to cultivate in this environment for an extended period, the time it takes for her to break through to the Martial Saint Realm will be greatly shortened.
As one of the Eight Great Demon Immortals in the world, she was so proud and arrogant, yet at this moment she felt no jealousy towards the "favor" bestowed upon a junior, and even felt awe and reverence for Li Qingshan's unfathomable cultivation.
She thought to herself, "This senior's skills are more and more astonishing each time. If I keep them to myself, I'll seem petty and miss out on this incredible opportunity. I should be more open and demonstrate them first; perhaps I can gain more guidance in the future."
Thinking of this, Chan Yinsha no longer hesitated and spoke first, her voice clear and melodious. "Senior's supernatural abilities are profound, and I dare not conceal my shortcomings. I will offer my humble skills as a starting point to elicit your insights."
As soon as she finished speaking, her Yin Spirit stirred slightly, and the calm seawater in front of her moved without wind, as if it had been seized by an invisible hand, transforming into a thick waterspout that shot into the sky, only to collapse and condense back in an instant.
Impurities in the seawater were expelled by the pure water elemental force. The powerful water flow was continuously compressed and condensed in a mysterious and indescribable trajectory, with Dao patterns emerging. In the end, it transformed into a black water droplet, only the size of a fist and as deep as black jade, which quietly floated in her palm.
Although the water droplets were small, they felt as heavy as mountains to Hong Yi and Jin Xun'er, as if they contained the essence and weight of tens of thousands of kilograms of seawater.
With a flick of her finger, Chan Yinsha sent the black water bead shooting out as a streak of dark light, landing on the sea surface a hundred feet away.
A deep, thunderous roar.
The sea surface suddenly caved in, creating a huge hemispherical cavity. Immediately, terrifying air waves and water pressure exploded in all directions, stirring up turbid waves tens of meters high, roaring and rolling, with a power no less than that of high-explosive bombs used by the military.
The surging impact caused ripples to spread across the sea surface.
"I've made a fool of myself with the Water Essence Condensed Lightning Technique." Chan Yinsha withdrew her fingers, her tone calm, but a hint of barely perceptible expectation flickered in her eyes as she looked at Li Qingshan.
This is a killing move she created by combining her innate supernatural power with water-based Daoist techniques. It looks simple, but it actually involves the profound principles of extreme compression of water element and the dramatic transformation of Yin-Yang.
"The art of naval mines? Interesting." Li Qingshan indeed showed interest.
His cultivation of the Innate Great Dao of the Five Elements had long since reached perfection, attaining a state of ultimate mastery.
The " Five-Colored Divine Light " he comprehended in his early years is the supreme supernatural power in this path, and the operation of the five elements and the generation of all things is just a thought away.
With this foundation, it is commonplace to conjure up the Five Elements Divine Lightning with a wave of the hand, and all kinds of thunderous transformations are within one's control.
However, the "Water and Thunder Technique" performed by Chan Yinsha before her, although essentially still within the category of water, possessed a unique charm of this world in its method of condensing water elements and unleashing power suddenly.
This method reminded him of the "extremely heavy and condensed" One-Origin Heavy Water in the cultivation world, but it took a different approach, not pursuing Eternal weight and suppression, but pouring all its power into a momentary burst and destruction.
To him, such power was naturally not worth a second glance.
However, the idea of transforming the characteristics of water element to the extreme of "instantaneous destruction" is like a unique ripple, reflecting his familiarity with the principles of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint and the derivation of thunder magic, providing some intriguing insights.
With a slight thought, his primordial spirit illuminated the world, and he thoroughly analyzed the fluctuations of the heaven and earth water elements and the trajectory of power movement caused by Zen Chan Yinsha's spell.
With a casual wave of his hand, the seawater within a radius of dozens of miles surged once more, gathering and compressing at a speed hundreds and thousands of times faster and more powerful than when Chan Yinsha had done so. The massive amount of water element followed a more concise and efficient combination of Dao patterns in his palm, instantly condensing into a crystal-clear black water droplet the size of a dragon's eye.
These water droplets are crystal clear and lovely, like works of art.
Li Qingshan also flicked his finger, and a water droplet shot out silently, disappearing quietly on the sea a hundred miles away.
The next moment, as if an underwater volcano had erupted, a section of the sea suddenly bulged upwards and then exploded!
Countless seawater particles were directly vaporized, and white steam mixed with stunned or even shattered fish and shrimp soared into the sky, forming a mushroom-shaped cloud. The shockwave carved a clear circular giant wave on the sea surface, spreading far and wide.
Its power far surpasses that of the Chan Yinsha by tens of millions of times!
"This!!!" Chan Yinsha's lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with utter shock.
Her masterful technique, which she had painstakingly cultivated and comprehended for many years, was not only completely grasped by her opponent in the blink of an eye, but also refined and perfected, recombining it with more exquisite Dao patterns, resulting in a qualitative change in its power! This was no longer a simple "learning," but rather a transcendence at the "Dao level."
The pride she held in her heart as one of the Eight Great Demon Immortals was shattered at this moment, leaving only awe and admiration.
Li Qingshan, however, paid no attention to her shock, but instead immersed himself in the comparative analysis of the two methods of condensing "water mines".
The Chan Yinsha technique emphasizes instantaneous bursts of power, and its Dao pattern combinations are quite ingenious. The One-Origin Heavy Water refining method he knows emphasizes Eternal condensation and the law of weight.
If the Dao patterns of the two can be organically integrated, a new type of " Heavy Water Divine Lightning " may be created that possesses both terrifying weight for suppression and the ability to unleash destructive energy at any time.
This was quite enlightening for him as well.
Seeing how quickly Li Qingshan had mastered and developed his understanding of her water and mine techniques, Chan Yinsha was both shocked and secretly pleased that her decision to demonstrate first had been correct.
She composed Calming the Mind and decided to take it a step further, demonstrating a more fundamental visualization method.
"I have another method, which is to contemplate the generative mechanism of thunder and lightning on stormy nights, combining it with insights gained from ancient legends of the Thunder God. It is called the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, the Thunder Duke Giant Spirit Form."
After speaking, her expression turned solemn, her Yin Spirit shone brightly, and she formed a complex lightning seal with her hands in front of her chest.
Instantly, electricity crackled in the Void, and fine blue sparks danced around her.
A colossal Dharma image rose again from the Void behind her.
