Heavenly Dipper Qi Gathering, Six Directions United as One
The ruins of a slum in the Demon Capital of Shanghai.
Deep inside an abandoned air-raid shelter, several kilometers away from where the Gray Wolf was killed, Dongfang Yueming sat cross-legged on a flat stone slab. The entrance to the shelter was sealed off by a layer of true energy barrier that he had casually set up, isolating it from all external influences.
Before him stood the coded box filled with jade slips, neatly arranged.
"It's time to let this Qi Gathering Realm cultivation reach its true peak."
Dongfang Yueming took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with an extreme thirst for power.
He picked up the four Yellow Grade Qi Gathering Method that emitted a faint glow.
[Ding! Learned the "Long Wind Qi Gathering Method" (Yellow Grade) (0/180, Not Yet Entry)!]
[Ding! Learned the "Thick Earth Qi Gathering Art" (Yellow Grade) (0/180, Not Yet Entry)!]
[Ding! Learned the "Jade Water Qi Gathering Method" (Yellow Grade) (0/180, Not Yet Entry)!]
[Ding! Learned "Blazing Fire Qi Gathering Record" (Yellow Grade) (0/180, Not Yet Entry)!]
"System, Point Allocation to Perfection!"
[Ding! Consumed 720 points, four Yellow Grade Qi Gathering Method advanced to the first level of Qi Gathering!]
[Ding! 2400 points consumed, all four Yellow Grade Qi Gathering Method are now Perfection!]
"Merge!"
Without any hesitation, Dongfang Yueming immediately initiated a smooth and fluid fusion operation.
Wind, earth, water, fire!
Four distinct characteristics of Yellow Grade True Qi collided and intertwined wildly in the Sea of Consciousness!
[Ding! Fusion successful! Obtained the Profound Grade Qi Gathering Method "Wind and Earth Qi Gathering Art" (Perfection)!]
[Ding! Fusion successful! Obtained the Profound Grade Qi Gathering Method "Water and Fire Qi Gathering Guide" (Perfection)!]
"Remelt!"
The two Profound Grade cultivation techniques collided fiercely!
[Ding! Fusion successful! Obtained Earth Grade Qi Gathering Technique - "Four Symbols Limitless Qi Gathering True Scripture" (Perfection)!]
With the birth of this all-encompassing Earth Grade Qi Gathering Technique, the true Qi within Dongfang Yueming's body instantly became multicolored, as if it contained the most primordial elemental power of heaven and earth.
But he didn't stop.
His gaze fell upon the "Taixu Heavenly Dipper Qi Gathering Art" within his body, which had already reached Upper-Tier Perfection.
"Earth Grade and Earth Grade... give me -- merge!!!"
"BOOM--!!!"
The moment the command was given, Dongfang Yueming's dantian seemed to transform into a primordial universe!
The extreme ferocity and domineering nature of "Taixu Heavenly Dipper" and the all-encompassing elemental power of "Four Symbols Limitless" began an extremely terrifying fusion and sublimation under the supreme power of the system!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Fusion successful!]
[Obtained the Heaven Grade Qi Gathering Technique - "The Chaos Primordial Beginning Qi Gathering True Scripture" (Perfection)!]
"Buzz--!"
At this moment, the ruins within a ten-zhang radius around Dongfang Yueming mysteriously turned into powder! Not that they were shattered, but rather that all the matter was forcibly stripped away and assimilated into the most primordial spiritual energy by the supreme true energy emanating from his body!
The dazzling "true energy rainbow" that had been above his head suddenly contracted and retreated entirely into his body.
Instead, it took its place.
It was an extremely pure and noble aura, seemingly containing the primordial power of the Great Dao... purple energy!
The purple aura hovered and swirled three feet above his head, like a sacred and inviolable crown!
[Top-Tier Perfection: Purple Qi Comes from the East!]
"Purple Qi Comes from the East... This is the pinnacle of the Qi Gathering Realm!"
Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes, a faint purple light flashing in his deep pupils. He felt that the quality of his true energy had undergone an indescribable transformation!
Even now, if he only possesses an extremely weak wisp of true energy, its quality and destructive power are enough to easily crush the full-force attack of an ordinary Qi Gathering Perfection expert! What's even more terrifying is that this purple energy carries a kind of "auspicious suppression" power. Any evil spirits, toxins, or even low-level mental attacks will be automatically purified by this purple energy the moment they get close to him!
"My cultivation is now stable. Next up are these Qi Technique."
Dongfang Yueming turned his gaze to the mountain of jade slips containing killing Qi Technique.
"Let's start with body movement."
He picked up the eight Yellow Grade movement Qi Technique.
[Ding! Learned eight movement Qi Technique, including "Willow Catkins Follow the Wind Steps" (Yellow Grade) (0/24, Not Yet Entry)...]
"All Point Allocation Perfection!"
[Ding! 3648 points consumed, all eight Yellow Grade movement Qi Technique Perfection!]
"Merge!"
Eight becomes four! Four becomes two!
Finally, two Earth Grade movement Qi Technique took shape in his Sea of Consciousness!
"Merge these two Earth Grade... techniques!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Fusion successful!]

[Ding! Comprehended the ultimate Heaven Grade Qi Technique Skill - [Soaring Roaming Dragon Shatters the Void] (Active: Transforms into soaring dragon Qi, instantly breaking through all spatial blockades and array restrictions, leaving behind Xukong rifts in the movement trajectory powerful enough to annihilate experts of the same level)!]
"Excellent! This movement technique is not only extremely fast, but also possesses terrifying destructive power!"
Dongfang Yueming was overjoyed and continued to pick up the jade slips containing fists, palms, swords, and other weapons.
"All four Yellow Grade fist and palm techniques Perfection!"
"Merge into two Profound Grade, then merge into one Earth Grade!"
"I will fuse this newly created Earth Grade fist technique with my previous Earth Grade ' Great Wilderness Azure Cloud Heaven-Shattering Hand '...!"
"Boom--!"

[Ding! You have mastered the ultimate Heaven Grade Qi Technique - [God-Devil Fall] (Active: Summons ancient god and demon phantoms, unleashing the Annihilation Fist. Within the area covered by true qi, the souls and bodies of all living beings will be simultaneously stripped away and crushed)!]

"Fusing them together creates three Profound Grade! Adding that to my previous Profound Grade ' Azure Cloud Sure-Kill Sword,' that makes a total of four Profound Grade!"
"Four becomes two! Two becomes one!"

"Finally, there are these auxiliary Qi Technique."

"Merge!"

a long time.
Dongfang Yueming exhaled a long breath of purple turbid air and stopped Point Allocation.
He brought up his newly revamped attribute panel.

[Yellow Grade Qi Technique: "Illusion-Breaking Void Pupils"]
Looking at the near-perfect panel, a sharp glint flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.
"I've reached the pinnacle of the Qi Gathering Realm. Almost all my attack, defense, movement, and concealment techniques have been transformed into Heaven Grade!"
"Now, if we want to continue making breakthroughs..."
His fingertips tapped lightly on his knee.
"I still need seven more pupil techniques to advance the ' Illusion-Breaking Void Pupils ' to the Heaven Grade. I also need four more seal-type Qi Technique to complete the ' Purple Extreme Heavenly Might Dragon King Seal '."
"Most importantly... I need to reach the next major realm, to unlock the [Meridian Opening Realm] technique that allows me to open all eight extraordinary meridians in my body!"
In Demon Capital, however, obtaining these items—those that are extinct in the market and tightly monopolized by powerful forces—is extremely difficult...
There's only one place left.
Dongfang Yueming stood up, his deep gaze peering through the gaps in the air-raid shelter at the dazzling yet sinful night sky of Demon Capital.
"The Core Black Market deep beneath Demon Capital's underground..."
"As well as..."
A chilling murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
"Who dares to send people to intercept and kill me... ' Myriad Treasures Pavilion ' Auction House!"
"Since you enjoy doing business so much, then I'll personally go and... settle this score with you."
