True Qi Forms a Spring, a Profound-Grade Lightning Seal
Dead silence.
Inside the Han Family, apart from the crackling sounds of the burning collapsed buildings, there was not a sound at all.
Despite their severe injuries, the Demon Capital instructor and Li Changshan stood up from the ruins. They clasped their hands in a respectful gesture towards the Xukong, their expressions extremely deferential.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior!"
"If you have any orders, senior, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
However, apart from the howling wind, there was no response in the night sky.
The two mentors exchanged glances, their eyes filled with both awe and a hint of disappointment.
"It seems that the powerful senior was just passing by, casually crushed an insect, and didn't bother to talk to us juniors." Li Changshan smiled bitterly and wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Regardless, his life has been saved." The Demon Capital instructor took a deep breath, his gaze fixed intently on the pile of purple ice shards on the ground, radiating a chilling aura.
"Old Li, although Han Changfeng was instantly killed by the senior, his body, which has completed the ultimate mutation of the Qi Gathering Realm, is a priceless treasure!" A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the mentor from the Demon Capital.
Li Changshan nodded knowingly.
Within the upper echelons of the Great Xia Country, this is an unspeakable secret: the reason why those powerful families and research institutes have always adopted a "nurturing" approach to the infiltration of Variants is largely because the essence and flesh of high-level Variants are excellent materials for refining top-tier longevity potions and breaking through bottlenecks!
Using the lives of ordinary people to feed the Variants, and then harvesting the Variants to prolong the lifespan and power of the elite. This is the bloody truth behind the so-called "maintaining balance"!
"First, collect these fragments and seal them in a special container. As for the remaining miscellaneous items..."
Li Changshan turned to look at the Han Family's Blood Transformation Realm Variants below, who were stunned by the tragic death of their patriarch, his eyes revealing a murderous intent.
"Leave no one alive!"
"Kill!"
At their mentor's command, Chu Kuangren and the other six prodigies, who had been holding back their anger, charged into the sheep's den like tigers, launching a one-sided massacre of the demoralized Variants.
at the same time.
Deep within the Han Family, inside the underground slaughterhouse's prison cells.
Xiahou Ying was chained to a stone pillar with alloy chains. Listening to the faint sounds of battle shouts and the rumble of collapsing buildings outside, her eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment at surviving such a disaster.
Just now, Han Luosheng sensed something was wrong outside, immediately abandoned her, and rushed out.
"Is someone attacking the Han Family? Who is it? Has the authorities finally taken action?"
A faint hope ignited in Xiahou Ying's heart, but her blood and qi were sealed by the poison, and she didn't even have the strength to break the chains.
Just when she was extremely anxious.
"Buzz!"
A tiny, extremely cold sword aura shot out from the Xukong without warning!
"Snap! Snap!"
The specially made alloy chains binding her shattered like rotten wood before that sword energy! Not only that, the cool sensation contained within the sword energy instantly traveled through her meridians, completely disintegrating the blood and qi poison planted by Han Luosheng!
"What?!"
Xiahou Ying suddenly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and looked around in shock.
"Who? Who saved me?"
The surroundings were empty, with only a few broken skeletons.
Suddenly, Xiahou Ying recalled the image of Xiahou Yuan's black-clad figure in the abandoned building, who had casually shattered Xiahou Yuan's clothes with a single punch.
"Could it be... him again?"
She gritted her teeth, not daring to think any further. Now that she was free, her top priority was to escape this Demon Cave immediately! She picked up a scattered dagger from the ground and stumbled towards the slaughterhouse exit.
But inside the deepest underground vault of the Han Family.
Dongfang Yueming, who had just casually freed Xiahou Ying from her restraints, was standing in front of an open alloy safe, his brows slightly furrowed.
Although the Han Family's secret vault contained a considerable amount of wealth and common cultivation techniques, the only items that could truly be considered top-grade were two jade slips placed in the jade box at the highest level.
"A family of a Qi Gathering Realm expert only has this little bit of resources left?"
Dongfang Yueming picked up the two jade slips and placed them on his forehead.
[Ding! Learned the "Origin-Returning Qi Gathering Method" (Yellow Grade) (0/180, Not Yet Entry)!]
[Ding! You have learned the Qi Technique "Purple Nether Lightning Seal" (Profound Grade) (0/24, Not Yet Entry Level)!]
"A very basic Yellow Grade Qi Gathering Method, and a Profound Grade Qi Technique... This ' Purple Nether Lightning Seal ' must be the move Han Changfeng used to attack those two instructors earlier, right?"
"Although the rank isn't high, it's at least a breakthrough for me, opening the door to the [Qi Gathering Realm]."
Without hesitation, Dongfang Yueming sat cross-legged in the secret vault.
"System, Point Allocation ' Origin-Returning Qi Gathering Method '!"
[Ding! Consumed 180 points, advanced to the first level of Qi Gathering!]
"Boom!"
The moment the command was given, Dongfang Yueming felt a boom in his mind. If the physical body realms (Blood Nourishing, Blood Refining, Blood Transformation) were about squeezing out the potential of one's own blood and qi, then the Qi Gathering Realm was about breaking the shackles of the human body and beginning to Heaven Reaching!
An invisible suction force emanated from his dantian. The spiritual energy wandering in the surrounding world, as if summoned, surged wildly into his body, forming a tiny vortex in his dantian!
"This is what true qi feels like..."
As Dongfang Yueming sensed the ethereal, mysterious, yet terrifyingly destructive energy, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Keep going! Max it out!"
[Ding! 180 points consumed, advancing to the second level!][180 points consumed, advancing to the third level!]
[Ding! 270 points consumed, advancing to the fourth level!][270 points consumed, advancing to the fifth level!][270 points consumed, advancing to the sixth level!]
As his points were consumed rapidly, the vortex within his dantian grew larger and faster! The spiritual energy of heaven and earth even formed a visible funnel above his head, pouring in frantically!
[Ding! 400 points consumed, advancing to the seventh level!][400 points consumed, advancing to the eighth level!][400 points consumed, advancing to the ninth level!]
[Ding! Consumed 600 points, "Origin-Returning Qi Gathering Method" has advanced to Qi Gathering Perfection!]
"Splash..."
Within Dongfang Yueming's dantian, the original gaseous vortex of true qi, under extreme compression, transformed into a crystal-clear spring of true qi! A continuous stream of liquid true qi gushed forth from the spring, flowing through his limbs and bones.
[Lower-Tier Perfection: Qi Gathers into a Spring]!
"Call..."
Dongfang Yueming opened his eyes, and a faint light of true energy flowed within them.
"A Yellow Grade cultivation technique, consuming a total of 3150 points. Although it's only the lowest level, ' Lower-Tier Perfection,' it didn't produce the extraordinary phenomena of ' Qi Surges Like a Tide ' or ' Purple Qi Comes from the East '..."
"But, the Qi Gathering Realm is still just the Qi Gathering Realm!"
Dongfang Yueming stood up and casually waved his hand. A crescent-shaped, transparent blade of true energy instantly Body Penetration, silently cutting a smooth crack more than ten meters long into the wall of the secret vault, which was made of high-strength alloy!
"Next up is that Profound Grade Qi Technique."
[Ding! Consumed 24 points, Qi Technique "Purple Nether Lightning Seal" (Profound Grade) Entry!]
[Ding! 72 points consumed, Minor Accomplishment!][120 points consumed, Major Accomplishment!][240 points consumed, Perfection!]
"Crackling and popping!"
As he comprehended the profound meaning, a purple lightning seal the size of a human head, crackling with violent lightning, instantly condensed above Dongfang Yueming's palm!
However, unlike Han Changfeng's thunder seal, which was full of evil and wailing, the thunder seal condensed by Dongfang Yueming was pure, fierce, and full of destructive thunderous power!
[Ding! Comprehended the profound essence of Profound Grade Qi Technique— [Purple Ultimate Tianlei Break] (Active: Use your own true Qi to Heaven Reaching, condensing a Purple Extreme Thunder Seal with the dual attributes of extreme destruction and paralysis. Its power depends on the amount of true Qi injected)!]
"Good stuff. Now, with my Qi Gathering Realm cultivation, I finally have a matching killing move."
Dongfang Yueming put away the Thunder Seal with satisfaction, his gaze piercing through the thick layer of soil, looking up at the ruins of the Han Family.
"Now that I've entered the Qi Gathering Realm, it's time to go and chat with those two outside."
Dongfang Yueming covered his face with a black cloth.
"I just saved their lives. Shouldn't I repay this life-saving debt with some martial arts manuals Qi Technique?"
"Buzz!"
With the activation of [The Ends of the Earth Are Within Reach], his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
