How Could the Holy Sect Harm Me?!
A touch of pale pink, alluring Six Desires Bewitching Powder mingled with the swirling Fresh Breeze and was inhaled by disciple Feng Yang, who stood before the candlelight.
When his nose started to itch, Feng Yang subconsciously looked down and rubbed it.
But when he looked up again, his previously curious and hesitant gaze was now ignited by a burning greed.
"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... How could the Holy Sect harm me!"
His Adam's apple bobbed as he murmured, as if trying to convince himself, or perhaps driven by desire.
Finally, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the still, dark green candle flame!
Hidden in the shadows, Qi Yun held his breath, his gaze fixed intently on the target.
boom--
The instant Feng Yang's fingertips touched the candlelight, the dark green flame, as if alive, suddenly shot up his arm and plunged into his seven orifices!
In an instant.
Feng Yang's body trembled violently, and eerie flames simultaneously shot out from his seven orifices.
But instead of showing any pain, his face displayed a strange expression of extreme ecstasy and unparalleled pleasure.
This process lasted about three to five minutes.
The dark green candle flame had just withdrawn from his body and returned to the candle holder, burning quietly, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Too, too, too profound..." Feng Yang was drenched in sweat, as if all his strength had been drained away. His voice was hoarse, but his eyes shone with an alarming light.
"The Blood Corpse Incantation that I had been practicing for eight months without success has actually been... actually completed in an instant!"
The Hall of All Dharmas truly lives up to its name!
He clenched his fist excitedly, feeling the crystal-clear realization in his mind, so excited he almost roared. This short moment saved him months of hard work.
With this improvement, he will be even more confident in the next examination.
Are you sure there are no problems?
Qi Yun silently observed Feng Yang as he accepted the candlelight; Feng Yang seemed quite excited at that moment.
But apart from that, there was nothing else unusual.
Could it be that the Holy Sect has truly had a change of heart?
Even after discovering that Feng Yang had obtained enlightenment from the candlelight, Qi Yun remained highly vigilant, showing no sign of anything amiss.
There's no way around it; the Holy Sect has a reputation for being first-rate at ripping off others, and even more so at ripping off its own people.
The Hall of All Dharmas has been open for a full month, and this is only the first day. There's still plenty of time; let's continue to observe and see what happens...
With patience, Qi Yun began to explore this mysterious hall. With his current cultivation level and mastery of the [Clear Breeze Technique], none of his fellow disciples from the outer Outer Mansion could detect him.
Time passed day by day.
More and more disciples from the Outer Mansion could no longer suppress their longing and reached out to pluck the flame from the candle, receiving the insights and wisdom of their predecessors.
Qi Yun observed and remembered the reactions and traces of these people.
More than twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Those disciples from the Outer Mansion who entered the [Hall of All Dharmas] had all taken candles and gained insights from them.
"Based on what I've observed so far, perhaps I really have misunderstood the Holy Sect..."
Looking at the densely packed details in the booklet in his hand about the experiences of these Outer Mansion after receiving the candlelight, Qi Yun raised his pen and gently rubbed his temples.
For the past twenty-odd days, he Night Wandering around the [Hall of All Dharmas] day and night, carefully observing the behavior of each fellow disciple from the Outer Mansion who received the candlelight.
However, nothing unusual was found.
"However, no anomalies were found, but I did understand a bit of the rules. Although there are thousands upon thousands of insights and experiences in this [Hall of All Dharmas]."
But it's not something you can use immediately.
Each person has only one chance. After taking a candle once, if they try to take another, they will be teleported out of the [Hall of All Dharmas].
After all, insights and experiences carry a strong personal imprint, and even if they have been cleansed by a high-ranking member of the Holy Sect, they may still have an impact on the user.
Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, there will inevitably be irreversible consequences.
From this perspective, the suspicion surrounding the [Hall of All Dharmas] becomes even less significant.
The booklet was slammed shut.
Qi Yun turned his head to look at a bright yellow candle beside him.
"Insights on Breaking Through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer -- Wei Zhen!"
Throughout the [Hall of All Dharmas], there are many insights and experiences regarding breakthroughs in cultivation realms. There are no fewer than a dozen people who have left behind their experiences at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer alone.
Qi Yun chose this former cultivator Wei Zhen purely because of his handwriting.
"With his sharp bones and graceful bearing, this person must also be on the path of sword cultivation!" After mastering the [Southern Ming Sword Devil] technique, Qi Yun was considered a semi-orthodox sword cultivator, and he immediately saw the meaning left by Wei Zhen in the words.
Seeing that the [Hall of All Dharmas] was about to close, Qi Yun no longer hesitated and reached out to pluck the flame from the candle.
The moment your fingertips touch the candlelight.
Like other candle flames, the bright yellow light quickly flowed up Qi Yun's arm and into his seven orifices.
The next moment.
His body trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly went unfocused.
The vast and profound insights surged into my Sea of Consciousness like a celestial river flowing backward.
Those previously perplexing obstacles and the intricate mysteries of the Five Elements' evolution, now illuminated by this brilliant golden light, seemed to melt away layer by layer, like ice meeting the sun in spring.
It reveals the profound truth beneath, crystal clear and unambiguous.
The seemingly indestructible barrier that had been holding him back at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer finally cracked with a crisp sound that only he could hear.
"Boom--!"
The internal True Qi did not need to be deliberately guided; it had already begun to circulate wildly on its own, following that profound and mysterious understanding.
Among the five internal organs, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all hummed simultaneously.
The five colors of Qi—red, blue, yellow, white, and black—rise and Creation their own unique forms.
They are no longer as stagnant and conflicting as before, but rather like five newly born dragons, frolicking, chasing, and merging together harmoniously.
Finally, following the essence of the key points that had just been grasped, everything was suddenly understood!
The Five Elements initially evolved, and the internal cycle was formed!
A Lesser Celestial Circuit is formed on its own, True Qi flows like a stream, joyful and unrestrained, without any further obstacles or difficulties.
The whole process went smoothly and naturally.
The moment he broke through, his entire demeanor suddenly changed.
A powerful vitality surged forth from the depths of the five internal organs.
It was no longer an ethereal sensation of energy, but something that actually affected his physical body.
The skin, which was originally a little rough, now had a warm glow, as if it had been carefully nourished by the surging Qi and Blood within. The sweat that expelled some grayish-black impurities made the rosy health of the skin even more apparent.
A series of soft "crackling" sounds emanated from my limbs and bones, as if my muscles and bones were stretching and strengthening, full of a sense of new life and power.
The five internal organs and five qi have initially evolved to perfection, and the resulting internal circulation Lesser Celestial Circuit operates on its own, making the sound of Qi and Blood flowing throughout Qi Yun body faintly audible.
A vibrant life force emanates from his body; with each breath, the rise and fall of his chest and abdomen contains a rhythm full of vitality.
Qi Yun slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright.
Although it lacked a terrifying brilliance, it was like the morning stars had washed over it, exuding a clarity and vigorous energy from within.
Qi Refining Fifth Layer!
It's done!
