Huo Lao was the best example.
Although Huo Lao had opened 87 Saint Veins, he was still no match for Burning Lamp who had opened 85 Saint Veins.
His talent might be better than Burning Lamp, but his overall strength was much weaker.
Otherwise, he would not have been imprisoned in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and become the pagoda spirit.
Duan Lingtian nodded when he heard Huo Lao's words.
He had heard about this from Xue Nai before.
Apart from Saint Veins, there were many other factors that could affect one's strength.
"So, most of the characters in the ancient myths and legends from my previous life … are not natives of Earth."
At this moment, Duan Lingtian also realized this.
He could only believe half of the ancient myths and legends from his previous life. The other half was made up by later generations.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian did not notice that Huo Lao's gaze was very different from before … There was one thing that Huo Lao did not tell Duan Lingtian.
Even Burning Lamp Buddha, who had opened 85 Saint Veins back then, had only opened 13 Saint Veins when he first opened his Saint Veins. He was not as good as Duan Lingtian now.
He did not say this because he was worried that Duan Lingtian would become complacent because of this.
Soon, Huo Lao returned to the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Duan Lingtian also closed his eyes again. However, he did not cultivate. Instead, he began to look at the 15 Saint Veins in his body … 15 Saint Veins were huge compared to the other meridians.
The 15 Saint Veins hovered in Duan Lingtian's body like 15 divine dragons.
As for the other meridians, they were like inconspicuous little snakes.
"My Dantian is gone."
Soon after, Duan Lingtian realized that the Dantian in his lower abdomen had disappeared and was replaced by numerous crisscrossing Saint Veins. All 15 Saint Veins were directed at the space between Duan Lingtian's eyebrows.
In between Duan Lingtian's eyebrows, there was a 'Sea of Qi', which could only be seen when one used their spiritual power to touch it.
Right now, his Sea of Qi was only the size of a pigeon egg.
There was only a sliver of zhenqi inside, and it was not abundant.
This strand of True Qi was the transformation of Duan Lingtian's original Origin Energy … Even though it didn't look like much, in terms of power, it wasn't something that Duan Lingtian's original Origin Energy could compare to.
True Qi was a completely different level of power.
"The circulation route of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique has indeed been passively changed … This shouldn't be considered the Divine Dragon Transformation, right?"
Soon, Duan Lingtian discovered something.
Just as Xue Nai had said, his cultivation method had changed.
Xue Nai had told him before.
Once a Martial Cultivator or Dao Cultivator had broken through to the Mortal Shedding Stage, their cultivation method would more or less change.
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian began to circulate his cultivation method.
At once, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy on the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda surged into his body continuously. It flowed through his 15 Saint Veins and circulated according to the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's cultivation method.
After circulating one Qi cycle, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy transformed into True Qi and merged with his Sea of Qi.
The True Qi in his Sea of Qi had grown a little stronger, but it was almost negligible.
However, Duan Lingtian was not in a hurry. He continued to cultivate and continuously absorbed the True Qi on the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He merged it with his body and refined it into True Qi for his own use.
"According to Xue Nai … I'll only be able to break through to the next level when the True Qi in my Sea of Qi is full."
Because of Han Xuenai, Duan Lingtian was no stranger to the Mortal Shedding Stage.
"This is …"
Duan Lingtian, who was focused on cultivating, suddenly discovered that when the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy entered his body and circulated around his 15 Saint Veins, there were streaks of strange energy moving rapidly around the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.
At first, Duan Lingtian did not notice this.
However, when he took a closer look, he was shocked to discover that there were a total of nine streaks of strange energy. They looked like nine divine dragons that moved around the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.
The nine divine dragons only disappeared when the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy transformed into True Qi and merged with his Sea of Qi.
"It seems like this is the true transformation of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"This should be the tenth transformation of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, right? The ninth transformation, the Divine Dragon Transformation, is no longer the last transformation … What should the tenth transformation be called? "
The Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique was passed down to Duan Lingtian from the memories of the Reincarnation Emperor Wu.
In the memories of the Reincarnation Emperor Wu, the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique only had nine transformations, and the Divine Dragon Transformation was the last transformation.
Now that Duan Lingtian had broken through to the Mortal Shedding Stage, the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique had undergone a transformation. The mental cultivation method that was circulating now was no longer the Divine Dragon Transformation.
"Why don't I call it the Nine Dragons Transformation?"
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat. The more he thought about it, the more satisfied he became. He decided on the name of the tenth transformation of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique.
Nine Dragons Transformation!
"True Qi …"
Duan Lingtian opened his eyes abruptly and stretched out his arms. The True Qi in his Sea of Qi immediately whistled out and gathered on his arms through his 15 Saint Veins.
"That's fast!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian finally experienced the benefits of having multiple Saint Veins.
The True Qi in his Sea of Qi seemed to have gathered on his arms in just a blink of an eye.
'If I only had one Saint Vein, I wonder how long it would take to gather all the True Qi in my arms?'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Boom! Boom!
With a raise of his arms, Duan Lingtian threw two punches out.
Instantly, the True Qi whistled through the air, causing the air on the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to tremble. A faint fist print swept out and landed on the wall of the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
A loud sound reverberated in the air as a shockwave swept out. It was as though a gust of wind had swept through the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
However, the wall was not damaged at all.
"What a powerful force … My previous strength is nothing compared to my current strength!"
After experiencing the power of the True Qi, Duan Lingtian could not help but be shocked.
Although the wall was not damaged at all, Duan Lingtian was not surprised at all. What a joke! This was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, a top-tier Celestial Supreme Treasure. It would be strange if he could leave a mark on it with just one punch.
"The Origin Energy in my body is gone … I can't sense the Profundity as well. Now, I only have True Qi left. However, I still have my Spiritual Energy. "
Duan Lingtian was gradually getting used to his current situation.
"Now, I should be able to use the Sun Shooting Bow freely."
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian's heart jolted. With a raise of his hand, a bow appeared in his hand. It was a tattered bow … Only the bowstring could be seen on the bow.
There were ten notches on the bow that were extremely ugly.
The bowstring was completely black. It was shimmering with a black halo that emitted a terrifying aura.
It was the Five-clawed Devil Dragon's dragon tendon!
"After I've broken through to the Mortal Shedding Stage, my body seems to have become a lot stronger …"
When Duan Ling Tian held the Sun Shooting Bow in his hand, he did not feel any pressure at all even before he circulated his True Energy. In fact, before he made a breakthrough, he could feel immense pressure when he held the Sun Shooting Bow with just his brute strength, Origin Energy, and Profundity.
However, now, he could use the Sun Shooting Bow freely without using his True Qi and with just his physical strength. In other words, his physical strength was more powerful than all the strength he had before he had broken through.
"Ha!"
Duan Lingtian shouted as he was seized by a sudden impulse. The muscles on his body bulged as he threw a punch that tore through the sky.
An invisible energy swept out instantly and swept across the sky, creating a series of deafening explosions. In the end, the invisible energy landed on the wall and set off a vast shockwave.
"It's … It's so powerful?"
Duan Lingtian was shocked. He realized his physical strength was not much weaker than the power of his True Qi.
"If I add my True Qi to it …"
When Duan Lingtian thought of this, the True Qi in his Qi Sea surged out through the 15 Saint Veins again. Accompanied by his physical strength, he threw another punch without holding back.
This time, Duan Lingtian only heard a whistling sound in his ears, followed by an explosion.
His True Qi surged out with his physical strength at a speed so fast that it was difficult for him to catch it with his naked eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
At the same time, a powerful gust of wind rebounded from the wall, causing Duan Lingtian's robe to flutter.
"It's too powerful … With my current strength, I might even be able to fight a Martial or Dao Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage."
After experiencing the new energy in his body, Duan Lingtian was a little excited.
At this moment, he could not wait to find seven or eight Martial or Dao Cultivators at the Early or Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage to fight.
"After breaking through, I finally have some strength to protect myself … I can't stay here forever. It's time to leave."
With this thought, Duan Lingtian left the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and returned to the cave.
"Huo Lao, how long have I been cultivating?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he put the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda away.
"Three years."
Huo Lao replied.
"What?! T-Three years?! "
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as shock filled his face. "Three years have passed … I don't even know if my two children have been born yet! No, I have to go back. I have to go back to Half Moon Island. "
He did not want to break his promise.
Since he had said he would go back when the two girls were about to give birth, he had to go back. Nobody could stop him.
"Three years have passed on the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda … It's only been a year outside."
Huo Lao said again.
As soon as Huo Lao's words left his mouth, it was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on Duan Lingtian's head, causing him to wake up completely.
"Huo Lao, why didn't you tell me earlier that it's time on the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?"
Duan Lingtian said helplessly.
He had thought it was because three years had passed outside that he was panicking … After all, he still did not know which way was the way back.
"It's only been a year outside … In addition to the time I spent on my journey, it's only been a little more than a year. Luckily, luckily … It's still early before Kerr and Little Fei 'er are about to give birth. "
Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief when he thought of this.
He now knew that the two girls would only give birth three to five years later … He was not in a hurry now that he knew it had only been a little more than a year.
After leaving the cave, Duan Lingtian stepped into the air and looked around. In the end, he still walked in the direction he had come from.
