This was the Azure Cave Heaven!
Amidst the endless sound of the wind, there was also the dull sound of thunder, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Zhou Bao was a Level Seven expert who could step into Level Eight at any time. However, in the face of the mighty power of heaven and earth, he still could not help but change his expression.
"Don't worry. Don't be afraid. Take out your Air-frozen Bead. It can still play a big role here!"
Zhou Bao did as he was told and took out the Air-frozen Bead!
As soon as the Air-frozen Bead appeared, the sound of the wind around him stopped immediately. Even within a radius of 1,000 feet, there was no sound of the wind. The roaring wind could only exert its power beyond 1,000 feet.
The Air-frozen Bead formed a magical force field within 1,000 feet around Zhou Bao, blocking all the wind and sand outside.
"This thing is really useful!" Seeing the magical effect of the Air-frozen Bead, Zhou Bao was overjoyed.
"It's just some storms caused by the Essential Qi Tide in the Azure Secret Area. It's no big deal. If the Air-frozen Bead can't even calm such a little wind, I won't let you enter the Azure Secret Area!" Green Spirit floated out of the green lamp and hovered around Zhou Bao.
"Hurry up and enter the Azure Secret Area. I can't wait. Hehe!"
Zhou Bao smiled and leaped up, flying toward the entrance of the Azure Secret Area.
Along the way, they encountered many storms, but everything was settled by the magical effect of the Air-frozen Bead. Zhou Bao also felt the magical effect of the Air-frozen Bead again. Even those tornadoes that connected the sky and the earth disappeared when they were within the control of the Air-frozen Bead, as if they had met their nemesis.
"It's really wonderful. When I completely refine the Air-frozen Bead in the future, I can come and go as I like in the Azure Secret Area. Others can only come in for two months a year, but I can come in at any time. That's really a big advantage!"
"Yes, yes. But the magical effect of Air-frozen Bead is more than that. You will know it when you completely cultivate it in the future!" Green Spirit was also very excited at this time.
Walking smoothly to the entrance of the cave, Zhou Bao stopped and looked back. All he could see was the storm connecting heaven and earth. He couldn't help shaking his head. "Level Seven, hehe. Even a Level Nine expert may not be able to reach here safely without the Air-frozen Bead!"
"The power of heaven and earth is not something that humans can imagine, nor can it be changed by humans. Unless you cultivate to the Mysterious Realm and obtain the Individual Immortal Karma Rank, only then can you communicate with heaven and earth and come and go freely in the power of heaven and earth. Otherwise, everything is just empty talk!"
"You don't need to care about these storms when you reach the Mysterious Realm?"
"Hehe, of course. You will know once you reach Tongxuan realm. For now, let's see how we are going to enter. Right now, it is the Origin Energy Tide, so the seal on the cave entrance should have loosened a little."
"Okay!" Zhou Bao nodded. He slowly bent down and carefully examined the seal on the cave entrance.
"This Wutu Great Ji Restrictive Technique has become very fragile under the influence of the Essential Qi Tide. You can easily boil it with your Great Fusion Technic. But you have to be careful and pay attention to the pneuma inside. Now the pneuma in the secret area is completely chaotic. If you open the seal, what comes out is deadly Evil Qi, you will be in trouble!"
Zhou Bao nodded and stretched his five fingers. A golden brilliance flashed violently at the entrance of the cave entrance, which was sealed by the Wutu Great Ji Restrictive Technique.
Then, with a sizzling sound, a hole was instantly burned open on the yellow restriction that was formed by the Forbidden Technique.
"Boom!"
Zhou Bao only felt a boundless pressure coming from all directions at the moment when the seal was burned, pushing his body toward the hole. At the same time, a black Evil Qi came out of the hole.
"Black Water Evil Qi, boy, be careful!"
At the sight of this black Evil Qi, Green Spirit screamed fiercely. His transformed body suddenly drilled into the green lamp.
Zhou Bao's eyes flashed, and his golden Gang Qi suddenly soared up. As soon as the black Evil Qi touched his Gang Qi, it was like cold water being poured into boiling oil. It made a very sharp, ear-piercing sound, and then disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Bao, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened.
While he was feeling complacent, Green Spirit suddenly came out again. "Are you crazy? You actually used your Gang Qi to resist the Evil Qi. I tell you, this is the most taboo thing in the Essential Qi Tide. Just now, it was just a stream of Evil Qi. Down there, countless kinds of pneuma, Evil Qi and Spiritual Qi are mixed together. If you rashly use your Gang Qi to resist it, you will easily get into trouble. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!"
After breaking the inhibition and entering the secret area …
Everything was different now.
The Azure Secret Area was no longer as lively as when he entered it last time. There was a sense of lifelessness between heaven and earth.
The extremely thick essence of the world was mixed together. At this time, the Azure Secret Area had become a big jar. The jar was filled with gelatinous substances composed of various kinds of pneuma, Spiritual Qi, and Evil Qi, flowing slowly.
If it were not for the Air-frozen Bead that propped up a field with a radius of about 10 feet for him to isolate these gelatinous substances of pneuma, Spiritual Qi, and Evil Qi, Zhou Bao would not have been able to enter the Azure Secret Area.
However, as soon as Zhou Bao entered the Azure Secret Area, he felt tremendous pressure.
The pressure came from the Air-frozen Bead!
The seemingly violent storms and dust outside the Azure Secret Area were not a threat to the Air-frozen Bead at all. It could easily spread its power to a distance of 1,000 feet without consuming any of Zhou Bao's strength.
But it was different in the Azure Secret Area.
The surrounding essence of the world had condensed into gelatinous substances and mixed together. The heaven and earth in the Azure Secret Area had become misty and nothing could be seen clearly. Although the Air-frozen Bead had opened up a field of about 10 feet, it was facing all kinds of pneuma pressure from all directions. Its own power could not withstand it at all. Therefore, it began to draw power from Zhou Bao's body to support it.
When Zhou Bao was refining the Air-frozen Bead, he followed Green Spirit's advice and refined it as a Natal Magic Weapon. Therefore, the Air-frozen Bead was closely connected with his spirit. Once it was pressed, the pressure would also be transmitted to Zhou Bao. Therefore, it would naturally draw power from his body.
The Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire had been running completely. The black flame began to flow in his tendons and meridians and poured into the field of the Air-frozen Bead through a mysterious channel. Suddenly, his body became dark and the space of about 10 feet was filled with a thick black hot spirit, which stabilized the field of the Air-frozen Bead that was about to fall.
"It can't go on like this!"
Zhou Bao temporarily stabilized the Air-frozen Bead and blocked the pneuma outside. But at the same time, he felt that his Internal Qi was rapidly draining. "I can't hold it for long. My Internal Qi will be exhausted in two hours at most!"
"It doesn't matter. Although the Essential Qi Tide is powerful, there are still places to hide. Otherwise, all the creatures in the Azure Secret Area would have died long ago!" Green Spirit said, "Two hours is enough. Let's look for it!"
"How can we find it? This place has been covered by the essence of the world. It's so dark that we can't see anything beyond 10 feet!"
"Use your spiritual mind to feel it!" Green Spirit said unhappily, "Don't rely on your eyes too much. When your cultivation breaks through to the Mysterious Realm, your eyes will no longer be important!"
"But my current spiritual mind is useless here. I can't even see through it, let alone spiritual mind!"
"Listen to me. Walk forward slowly and use your spiritual mind to explore. And your divine thoughts. Don't you have eight divine thoughts? Use them to communicate with your spiritual mind, and your spiritual mind will become much more sensitive. "
Zhou Bao had no choice but to follow Green Spirit's words. Fortunately, the area of the Air-frozen Bead in the Essential Qi Tide had a range of 10 feet. Otherwise, he would have bumped into a tree after a few steps. Even so, he almost bumped into a stone several times.
But gradually, Zhou Bao seemed to have found a trick. The longer he used his spiritual mind, the clearer he felt. All of a sudden, with a flash between his eyebrows, eight divine thoughts came out. With the purple jade-like divine thought that had been purified by the purple thunderbolt as the main, they hovered around his body. In an instant, his spiritual mind suddenly burst out and began to sweep in all directions like a radar.
Soon, his spiritual mind penetrated the area of the Air-frozen Bead, allowing Zhou Bao to clearly feel the situation outside.
It was thick, sticky, and mixed with a variety of different properties.
This was the feeling that the essence of the world outside the area of the Air-frozen Bead gave Zhou Bao.
It was like the malt grain that Zhou Bao had eaten at home when he was a child. It was slowly stirred by an invisible stick, which seemed to merge all the pneuma together. However, the relationship between the pneuma, the Evil Qi, and the Spiritual Qi was like the relationship between oil and water. No matter how they were stirred, they could basically maintain their independence. Only a small amount of pneuma was mixed together.
After a period of time, the Yuan Qi that had fused together settled down. Some slowly sank to the ground, while others slowly floated up, as if they no longer wanted to participate in the tide of Yuan Qi. However, such a situation was extremely rare. Usually, out of hundreds or thousands of Yuan Qi, there wouldn't be a single case of such a thing happening.
At this point, Zhou Bao finally understood what Green Spirit's words meant.
He also remembered two sentences that he had often heard before. "Clear Qi floats up, and turbid Qi sinks!"
The Essential Qi Tide had always existed. As long as there was enough time, one day the pneuma would merge together and form a very stable state, just like the outside world. However, it would take tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer to achieve this situation. Now, the Azure Secret Area was still in a period similar to the Primordial Origin and the primitive times. The pneuma was not stable, so it was impossible to form a stable essence of the world like the outside world in a short time.
His spiritual mind was like water, slowly spreading around.
With the support of the eight divine thoughts, Zhou Bao's spiritual mind became very sensitive and delicate. Through the area of the Air-frozen Bead, he could clearly sense the properties of various pneuma, which were Evil Qi, which were Spiritual Qi, which were safe, and which were dangerous.
Suddenly, Zhou Bao's eyes slightly narrowed, and he stopped!
This was because he had discovered a strange place. Here, there was no chaotic Vital Qi Tide that carried with it an incomparably dangerous intent.
Although it was more chaotic than when he entered the Azure Secret Area for the first time, the chaos was limited.
"How is it? Have you found it?"
"Yes, there is a place to hide 600 feet away, but it seems that there is already a master inside!"
"I don't care so much. Can you feel the strength of the guy hiding there?"
"I can feel a little bit. It's no less than Level Seven!"
"An evil beast with the cultivation of Level Seven. Now it should be hiding in the cave and shivering. It's easy to deal with!"
"I know!" Zhou Bao nodded.
Because of the eccentric and chaotic pneuma everywhere, it took him more than an hour to cover the distance of 60 zhang. Fortunately, there were no twists and turns in the end. A Level Seven Demonic Beast was nothing in his eyes now. Moreover, this demonic beast had already lost its former sharpness in the Essential Qi Tide. It would never have thought that in this boundless Essential Qi Tide, there was actually someone who could find his way to his cave.
Therefore, when Zhou Bao arrived at its nest, it had not even woken up.
Zhou Bao solved it with a Great Fusion Technic.
"Phew, phew …!" After getting into the cave, Zhou Bao gasped for breath, sat down and began to regulate his breath. He was exhausted along the way. 80% of his Internal Qi, including that in his Fiery Eyes External Elixir, had been consumed. If it had been a little longer, he might not have been able to hold on.
However, in the Azure Secret Area, his Internal Qi recovered very quickly. The cave was not affected by the Essential Qi Tide, and it was full of pneuma.
"Green Spirit, tell me, the Essential Qi Tide has almost covered the entire Azure Secret Area. Why is this cave not affected at all?"
"The power of heaven and earth is mysterious and unfathomable. However, no matter how dangerous the situation is, there will always be a chance of survival in the Great Dao. The essence of the Great Dao lies between life and death. I only know this principle, but I can't say that I understand it. Therefore, I can't explain it clearly even if you ask me!"
"Why don't you just say that you don't know? What's the use of these esoteric things? "Zhou Bao was so angry that he almost fainted." What should we do next? "
"Now that your Internal Qi has recovered, start to condense acupoints!" Green Spirit said, "I also need to find a place to restore my Original Spirit!"
"Don't you stay here?"
"What am I doing here?" Green Spirit laughed.
"Don't forget that this place is covered by the Essential Qi Tide. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble if you go out like this?"
"I'm not going out. I'm going to receive the pneuma at the entrance of the cave!" Green Spirit said with a smile, "When the Essential Qi Tide is stirred up, there is Spiritual Qi and Evil Qi everywhere. I've just found several kinds of pneuma that are beneficial to my Original Spirit recovery. I just need to receive the pneuma at the entrance of the cave. I don't need to leave."
"You've found a good place!"
Zhou Bao cursed in a low voice. He calmed down and silently ran his Internal Qi to condense acupoints.
It was not the first time for him to condense acupoints. He had some experience. In addition, he had explored the acupoints of the Primordial Celestial Dragon through the Invisible Dragon Rod, so he had a deep understanding of the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints. Therefore, once his Internal Qi ran, he began to explore his own tricks.
Because he wanted to open the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints, his Internal Qi followed the way of the Dragon Flying Technique. After several Circulations, Zhou Bao's body shook slightly. A black flame began to coil around him, but it did not condense into a shape. Instead, it flowed like the wind.
At this time, in Zhou Bao's tendons and meridians, the black flame-shaped Internal Qi moved slowly, as if it was a hand controlled by Zhou Bao. It explored and sensed the depths of his tendons and meridians, feeling the differences in his tendons and meridians, looking for a unique point in his tendons and meridians.
The internal vision function of the Fiery Eyes had been fully opened. All the movements in his body were presented in his mind. Every bit and drop, the flow of blood, the beating of his heart, the pulsation of his tendons and meridians, and even the deepest movements of his spirit and spiritual mind, were all presented to him in detail.
After performing the Dragon Flying Technique for one Circulatory Cycle, he basically knew the positions of the remaining seven acupoints in the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints. After several more Circulatory Cycles, he could finally determine the positions of the seven acupoints. Then he began the second step.
Condense!
Condense the acupoints!
According to the tendons and meridians last time, he began to use his Internal Qi to wash the tendons and meridians. He began to empty the seven acupoints and began to create a circulation of Internal Qi. Step by step, he let the circulation take shape.
Everything went as he expected. This acupoint was opened.
"Boom!"
Just like the acupoint he opened for the first time, this acupoint was like a black hole, crazily absorbing his Internal Qi. The Internal Qi that had been coiling around his body because of the Dragon Flying Technique was suddenly sucked into his body.
The Internal Qi was rolling like a long river!
In a very short time, the Internal Qi in his body was completely sucked into the newly opened acupoint. The Internal Qi in the Dantian, the Fiery Eyes External Elixir, and the red nebula in the acupoint he had opened before also moved. They rushed out and directly poured into the newly opened acupoint.
Everything happened as Zhou Bao expected. But this time, it was not a crimson nebula, but a black nebula, rotating in his newly opened acupoint.
"Phew!" This time, the Internal Qi in the Dantian, the Fiery Eyes, and the first opened acupoint circulated in the newly opened acupoint and completely integrated into one. After being purified and transformed, the nebula was completely condensed into one when it was formed. Zhou Bao heaved a long sigh of relief. This time, it was not like the last time when the Internal Qi was insufficient. The Internal Qi in the Dantian, the Fiery Eyes, and the first opened acupoint circulated in the newly opened acupoint and completely integrated into one.
But at the same time, Zhou Bao felt a boundless emptiness and even a feeling of being hurt. That was because his Internal Qi had been exhausted in this newly opened acupoint and urgently needed to be replenished.
After all, this was the Azure Secret Area. The rich essence of the world soon filled up his Internal Qi. But at the same time, his expression became a little strange.
"What a vigorous Internal Qi!"
After the second acupoint was opened, the capacity of his Internal Qi doubled. Moreover, after being purified by the acupoint, the red Internal Qi in the first acupoint was completely assimilated and began to transform into the incomparably condensed black flame-shaped Internal Qi.
The Dantian, the first acupoint, and the second acupoint were like three legs of a tripod, forming a faint cycle. The Internal Qi flowed in the three acupoints endlessly. He even found that the capacity of his Dantian seemed to have expanded a lot after this, not to mention the capacity of the two Real Dragon acupoints, which were more than 10 times larger than that of the Dantian.
"Although my cultivation is still at Level Seven, my current capacity of Internal Qi is at least 50 times that of an ordinary Level Seven expert. If I refine a few more acupoints, then the capacity of my Internal Qi can reach 100 times or even hundreds of times that of an ordinary Level Seven expert!" Thinking of this, he finally revealed a rare look of joy on his face. However, this joy quickly disappeared.
"It's a pity that the strength of my tendons and meridians is still there. No matter how much Internal Qi is stored in the acupoints, it can't burst out all at once. Otherwise, the tendons and meridians will burst. Therefore, compared with a Level Seven expert, my biggest advantage is that I have more Internal Qi. In a fight, my endurance is hundreds or thousands of times better than theirs, but the power of one move is not much stronger!"
This was a very simple principle. The acupoints were like pools, and the tendons and meridians were like water pipes. When the water pipes were of the same thickness and number, the amount of water released from one pool and one hundred pools at the same time was almost the same. The advantage was only reflected after the water in one of the other's pools had been released.
However, Zhou Bao was already very satisfied with these. What he cared about was not the present, but the future. After he refined all the acupoints, he would condense the Real Essence Source. When his cultivation broke through Level Nine, reached the Mysterious Realm, and obtained the Individual Immortal Karma Rank, his Real Essence would be countless times more vigorous than that of an ordinary Individual Immortal.
Of course, for now, this was just an idea. It was far from becoming a reality.
After refining the second acupoint and feeling the benefits, Zhou Bao continued to refine the third acupoint, the fourth acupoint …
Gradually, he was completely addicted to the process of refining acupoints.
Because this process not only increased the number of his acupoints, but also, as he refined his acupoints step by step, he used his Internal Qi to control his tendons and meridians bit by bit, which was of great help to him in manipulating his Internal Qi in an extremely subtle field. His skills in using Internal Qi also began to enter a new level and height.
"The Sword Qi of the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword can also be used in this way!"
"So many Sword Qi can be divided in the tendons and meridians!" “
The Sword Qi can be gathered and dispersed in this way. In this way, the efficiency will be improved by at least one generation! "
"I see. If the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill are operated in this way, the Critical Hit Rate can be greatly increased!"
"Well, why is it the other way around? Haha, I see. This is the combination of the two secret skills, the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. As long as I operate it in this way, the probability can be controlled, and I don't need to rely on luck at all!"
"So this is the method of the Flipping Sky Seal. As long as I operate the Internal Qi in this way, I don't need to worry about bursting the tendons and meridians when I use the Flipping Sky Seal!"
"The Infinite Trembling Contemplation can also be used in this way. In this way, the power will be increased by 30%, the time to use it can be reduced by half, and the damage to the tendons and meridians won't be so serious. It can save my life at the critical moment!"
… …
… …
Time flew by as he continued to comprehend and condense. When he opened his eyes again, it was already half a month later.
He exhaled gently. During this half a month, he had gained a lot, but at the same time, he was pushed into a state of extreme exhaustion. Continuous practice and comprehension were very exhausting.
