Kidney Water Qi
Experiencing this state of Unity of Heaven and Man and nature, Hu Mang's brows furrowed and relaxed at times.
Compared to this, the monster Longbo before them was utterly insignificant.
"Well, I've been controlling the Dragon Vein for quite some time now, and there are two of Dragon Vein. Why didn't this happen when I was controlling them before?"
Could it be because the Five Qi weren't certified back then?
"Yes, the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown refers to the 'Heaven' in the unity of Unity of Heaven and Man and Man, which is the resonance with the Principle of Heaven and Earth and the Spirit Vein of mountains and rivers; the Five Qi Converging at the Origin at the Origin refers to the 'Man' in the unity of Unity of Heaven and Man and Man, which is the harmony of one's own Qi and Blood, and the five internal organs. As for the 'Origin' in the Five Qi Converging at the Origin at the Origin, it refers to the origin of the Primordial Spirit."
The Heavenly Gate has Spirit Transformation, but no Primordial Spirit.
Therefore, the secret of this Dragon Vein remains undiscovered to this day.
Because no one has ever entered this state before.
"No, the key to the Five Qi Converging at the Origin at the Origin is not the Origin, but the Gathering!"
A flash of lightning seemed to strike Hu Mang's mind.
"Chao" means to pay homage, to submit, or for all rivers to flow into the sea.
The Five Qi Converging at the Origin is not simply about condensing the Five Qi, but rather about allowing the qi within the body to flow like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. It's not about the sea chasing after the rivers, but rather the rivers naturally flowing into the sea.
He had been trying to actively control the consciousness of the Dragon Vein, like a rider trying to tame a wild horse; but now, he no longer actively tried to control it, but let the consciousness of the Dragon Vein flow naturally towards him, like river water naturally flowing downhill.
He slowly closed his eyes, letting his consciousness sink into his body.
Among the five internal organs, the kidneys belong to water, are responsible for storing essence, and are the foundation of innate constitution.
Under the guidance of the Dragon Vein's consciousness, his kidney energy began to slowly surge, like a dark spring deep underground, gurgling in the darkness.
The Kidney Water Qi carries a cool and gentle quality, like a stream in early spring, slowly flowing through his meridians, his bones, and his flesh.
He felt the Kidney Water Qi slowly gathering in his body, like an invisible river flowing from his kidneys along the meridians to his limbs and bones.
At that moment, the Hu Mang felt as if it had transformed into the ocean.
Guided by both the Dragon Vein and the kidney water, the Hu Mang fully entered this sea, feeling the desolation and profundity brought by countless years of sedimentation.
Hu Mang slowly opened his eyes. The will-o'-the-wisps behind the Sea Yaksha mask resembled two lamps burning in the darkness, but now they had a warmer glow.
If his soul is a candle flame, then the entire ocean is his oil table.
"Kidney water... I see."
Although it seemed like a long time, only a few breaths had passed since Hu Mang comprehended the "Kidney Water Qi".
Hu Mang originally thought that these Five Qi, which are related to the evolution of heaven and earth, could only be comprehended in the Azure Mysterious Realm.
After all, most areas on Earth Star are low- Spiritual Qi environments, or even non- Spiritual Qi environments.
But the ocean, especially the deep sea, is a standard environment of high Spiritual Qi.
However, due to the influence of the undercurrent of Spiritual Qi, not to mention the Golden Core, even the Nascent Soul cannot cultivate peacefully within it.
Only in the last few years have deep-sea level civil Law Artifact been developed, enabling the initial laying of underwater Spiritual Qi pipelines.
However, cultivation is one thing, and comprehending the Five Qi is another; this can be considered a coincidence.
"I underestimated the potential of this Earth Star."
The Hu Mang muttered to itself.
After comprehending one of the Five Qi, the Ghost Haunt was further developed, and the originally pale ghost mist became damp.
The Spiritual Qi from the sea continuously flows into the Ghost Haunt, maintaining Ghost Haunt shape. Now, the Ghost Haunt's coverage area has doubled, becoming the size of two football fields.
As Hu Mang's understanding of the Ghost Haunt deepened, he also sensed more profoundly how thick and exaggerated Zhao Longbo's Qi and Blood were, even though he was trapped within it.
"I used to have a stereotype that the Azure Mysterious Realm was all about strength and flying like bricks, while the Heavenly Gate or Earth Star could only build their dojos in tiny shells. But it turns out that Earth Star cultivators can also fly like bricks, and not just any ordinary kind of flying."
In Hu Mang's perception, Zhao Longbo's Shattering the Void Qi and Blood Explosion had already erupted at least a hundred times.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ghost Haunt formed by the Ghost Dragon Vein was so solid, and that it had the continuous absorption of Spiritual Qi from the ocean by the unity of Unity of Heaven and Man and man, ordinary thousand-year-old Ghost Kings, such as those in the Many Gates Garden, would have been blown apart long ago.
Such a burst of Qi and Blood is something that even the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil, let alone his martial arts junior brother, could never achieve with his Wu Hun.
So, in terms of sheer force, the Nanyang monks won this time.
"However, if you think the Ghost Haunt is only preventing you from leaving, then you are underestimating Ghost Haunt. And since we have you as a bomb, we might as well take this opportunity to clean up the filth inside the ghost ship."
Zhao Longbo wasn't actually in a hurry to go out.
The reason is simple: the opponent only has one Nascent Soul level combatant, while Wanshun Sea Hall has three. All I need to do is stall until the Buddha Woman and Immortal Woman He come to provide support.
Currently, both the Buddha Woman and Immortal Woman He have found their own path to the Nascent Soul stage. Although both paths are strange and unorthodox, the cultivators of Nanyang do not care about such things; they only recognize strength.
On the contrary, although he gained the most when exploring the Saha Continent, obtaining a portion of the Longbo Bloodline and being known as the strongest physical body in the Nanyang, even top talents of the demonic path like the Big Dipper Holy Son could not do anything to him, he also raised his physical body to the Nascent Soul level through years of tempering.
But the physical body is just a physical body after all. His cultivation level is still stuck at the Golden Core level. In fact, because his Qi and Blood and qi are too vigorous, he has not shown any signs of forming a Nascent Soul.
So, despite his seemingly rough and fearless demeanor, Zhao Longbo was actually quite anxious inside.
"I only have two paths to take now. Either I cultivate a martial arts intent that can Shattering the Void, allowing me to shatter and reassemble my physical body, and even form a Nascent Soul through it, or I re-explore the Saha Continent and find the area where the ancient corpse of Longbo was. Back then, my cultivation was too weak, and I didn't explore it seriously. The ancient corpse of Longbo and the treasures of Longbo left in a hurry."
"Since this ancient corpse of Longbo was stabbed to death, there must be a weapon around it that killed it. If I can find this weapon, I might be able to find the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul by breaking through its physical body."
However, the Saha Continent is truly bizarre. Even with his current strength, there is no guarantee that he will not encounter any mishaps if he enters it. Moreover, the martial arts training in Nanyang, especially the advanced martial arts training methods, are all handled by the Nanyang Chinese Affairs General Company.
Back then, he represented Wanshun Sea Hall in a fight for territory and business. Relying on Longbo's immortal body, he defeated several of the other party's top martial arts talents. The two sides were already locked in a life-or-death struggle, making it impossible for him to reconcile with them.
Without superior martial arts techniques, given his talent, it's impossible for him to cultivate to the point of Shattering the Void on his own.
This put Zhao Longbo in a dilemma. Although the power of the Nanyang Chinese Affairs General Company was not what it used to be, it still had those old guys who had mastered the skill of Shattering the Void to keep it in check. It was said that they had also made connections with a faction of the Heavenly Gate military and were supposedly going to train their soldiers. If Wanshun Sea Hall really went to war with them, given Fatty's cunning nature, he would definitely not be willing to put in any effort.
Zhao Longbo was preoccupied with his own cultivation problems and paid little attention to the Ghost Haunt before him. He couldn't break through the strangeness of this place, but that didn't mean the other party could harm his physical body.
Compared to Law Power, his Qi and Blood energy has no upper limit.
Without his noticing, a ghostly claw emerged from the soil and grabbed his ankle. This ghostly claw was extremely large, unlike a human claw, but rather like a dragon's claw, with a grip strength capable of easily crushing a millstone.
However, Zhao Longbo only glanced at it, and his Qi and Blood shattered the Shattering the Void, turning the claw into powder.
"Um?"
After the bone claw shattered into powder, a stream of water shot out from the fragments like a venomous snake, locking onto his ankle.
Just as Zhao Longbo was about to tear it off, he discovered that the chain was exceptionally sturdy.
On a sea line controlled by the Wanshun Sea Hall in the Nanyang, it seemed as if some sea monster was stirring up waves, with huge waves rising one after another.
Deep within the Ghost Haunt, a massive black shadow slowly emerged. Its hand, formed from a ship's rudder, reached forward, and hundreds of water-line chains, like living creatures, darted through the void, silently approaching Zhao Longbo like countless serpents.
But in Zhao Longbo's eyes, it was as if endless waves were crashing down on him.
What the hell?
Instead of retreating, the little giant advanced, its Shattering the Void Qi and Blood roaring once more. Dark red flames erupted like a volcanic eruption, creating waves that exploded in their wake. Ghost Qi and water Spiritual Qi simultaneously transformed into a torrent of water vapor, which was then absorbed by the Ghost Haunt.
Qi and Blood and qi are inexhaustible, and so are Ghost Haunt and monsters.
The two clashed for a full incense stick's time before Zhao Longbo finally stopped, as he felt his strength waning and was on the verge of exhaustion.
When he came to his senses, he realized that inconspicuous lines of water were wrapped around his soles, ankles, calves, knees, arms, and waist, making him feel as if he were carrying a hundred waves forward.
"Damn it! What the hell is this?! Get out here!"
Zhao Longbo pulled hard, accompanied by a rumbling sound as a heavy object was dragged.
The owner of the waterline finally revealed his true identity.
Its head is formed from the prow of an ancient ship, and its eyes are two portholes, from which a ghostly blue light shines, like will-o'-the-wisps burning in the deep sea, with a cold and empty gaze.
His shoulders were made up of two broken masts, from which tattered canvas hung like a tattered cloak; his arms were made of thick anchor chains, each link as large as a millstone, rusty yet possessing a heavy texture.
The end of those water lines lies right above this palm made of chains.
Although they looked different, Zhao Longbo recognized them at a glance.
"Damn it! You fatso, you're a complete waste! You're actually the Black God of Wealth!!"
It turns out that Hu Mang used the collected fragments of the Evil God, along with parts of the ship's hull, to actually reassemble the Evil God of the Wanshun Sea Hall.
As Zhao Longbo's Qi and Blood and qi roared and converged, creating a tremendous thunderous sound, water lines exploded one after another, each explosion accompanied by a giant wave crashing to the ground.
However, the Black God of Wealth once again raised his hand, which was formed from the ship's rudder, and hundreds of water-line chains moved through the void like living things, covering Zhao Longbo once more.
Zhao Longbo glared at the thing, then turned and ran without saying a word.
He couldn't possibly disrupt the Black God of Wealth's ceremony when that fatso was preparing for his ascension.
Even if his Longbo Blood has a special attack effect on this thing.
He had disrupted the ritual that allowed the other party to completely transform into the Black God of Wealth of Wealth; that fatso was going to fight him to the death.
