Zhao Zilong closed his eyes and formed various hand seals according to the cultivation method that Quasi Wanderer Kong taught him yesterday.
Ever since he obtained the cultivation method, he had been staying in his room and carefully comprehending the cultivation method called the Three Lives Secret. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not sense the so-called Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"The long beginning, the brilliant world, pure Qi floats in the air, turbid Qi sinks into the dust."
Zhao Zilong recited the cultivation method's incantation and sank his mind into his dantian again, trying to find where the Qi was hidden.
"The benevolent cultivates righteousness, the wise cultivates the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and the strong cultivates the blood Qi of the world!"
He didn't know when, but he suddenly remembered the scene when he asked Xuan Kong for guidance not long after he came up the mountain.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you said that Master wants me to cultivate three sects at the same time? Don't joke with me. "Zhao Zilong was completely dumbfounded when he found out about his future cultivation path.
Xuan Kong said seriously, "Little Junior Brother, it's extremely difficult to cultivate three sects at the same time. This is also why Master has been training your body for the past six months. The righteousness of the Confucian School and the Daoist Sect's Qi of Heaven and Earth are very gentle powers and do not conflict with each other.
"However, the Buddhist Sect focuses on the Vajra Body. Their physical body and blood Qi are too domineering. If you cultivate three at the same time in the future, you might not be able to control the power in your body due to the conflict between the blood Qi and Qi of Heaven and Earth. The power will leak out and your body will explode. "
Zhao Zilong broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that.
"Cultivating three sects at the same time is too dangerous, but if you succeed, your future strength will be immeasurable. You might even be able to catch up to Master."
"What if I don't succeed?"
"Then I'll probably die for a righteous cause."
"Do you have to be so ruthless?"
"I … don't think so."
"Is there a better way? A safer way?"
"Let me think … Oh, I got it."
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Master once said that when a cultivator's strength reaches a certain level, they can condense their cultivation into a relic before they die."
"Relic? Isn't that from the Buddhist Sect? "
"That's not necessarily the case. In the Buddhist scriptures, there's an allusion that after a monk passes away, he will leave behind a relic. That's why that thing is called a relic."
"That thing? Senior Brother, you make it sound so easy. Do you have one? "
"Uh, Little Junior Brother, do you want me to die right now?" Xuan Kong stared at Zhao Zilong with a faint smile on his face.
"Aiya, Senior Brother, I was wrong. You're a great man who doesn't stoop to petty offenses. You should tell me about this Sarira." Zhao Zilong's face was filled with flattery.
"Relics are the essence of these almighty beings' cultivation. Not only does a single relic possess an astonishing power, but it also contains the inheritance of this almighty being when he was alive!"
"That's not all. If you're able to obtain a relic of a Buddhist cultivator, even though it won't allow you to immediately reach the Qi Gazing stage, a Diamond Body will not be a problem."
…
Zhao Zi Long's gaze gradually became firm, and he took out a blood-red bead from his bosom.
This was the bead that Old Mistress Zhao had secretly given him before he left. In the past, he didn't even dare to think about relics because relics were too rare, and he didn't even know if they still existed in this world. Even if there were one or two, perhaps no one would be willing to refine them directly.
However, Zhao Zilong was different. The cultivation technique that he wanted to cultivate required him to first reach the Qi Gazing stage in terms of body refining before he could cultivate the Righteous Qi or the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Once all three had reached the Qi Gazing stage, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in his Niwan Palace and Dantian would merge into one, and he would be able to reach the first-grade Earth Immortal Realm!
In order to have the ability to influence the war between the Jiangchu Dynasty and the Northern Qiang tribes, Zhao Zilong had to reach the Qi Gazing stage in both systems. In that case, the integration of the two systems would allow him to be comparable to a peerless expert in the Qi Controlling stage!
His goal was to achieve at least a third-grade cultivation before he left the mountain! Initially, this goal was far away, but it was different now.
This Scarlet Bead was his hope!
As long as he could refine the Scarlet Bead, he would be able to break through to the fourth-grade in a very short time. In fact, based on the shocking power contained in relics, it would be easy for him to break through to the second-grade, let alone the fourth-grade. After all, those who could leave behind relics were existences that only existed in myths and legends.
However, reaching the Qi Gazing stage was not something that could be achieved just by relying on relics. The relics left behind by mighty figures could only push one's cultivation to the pinnacle of fourth-grade. This was not to say that the mighty figure's power was insufficient. On the contrary, it was precisely because the power was too great that it was difficult to break through to the Qi Gazing stage after refining the relic.
If the human body was a wooden barrel, then the power of relics could be compared to a river. It was easy for a river to fill a wooden barrel, but a wooden barrel could not contain a river.
Relics could only bring about a change in quantity, but breaking through to the Qi Gazing stage was a qualitative leap!
Similarly, after breaking through to the Qi Gazing stage, the cultivator who refined the relics would quickly break through to the pinnacle of the Qi Gazing stage. This was almost the limit of the effects of relics. This was because breaking through to a higher level involved some of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it was not something that could be achieved in a short time by relying on external objects.
Zhao Zilong silently recited the incantation, but the method of refining relics that Xuan Kong had mentioned the other day appeared in his mind. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the surface of the Scarlet Bead.
After absorbing the blood essence, the Scarlet Bead did not change other than becoming brighter.
However, Zhao Zilong still did not dare to be careless.
He continuously formed various hand seals with both hands and slapped them directly on the Scarlet Bead through the air.
Finally, the surface of the Scarlet Bead shone brightly with red light.
Smack!
A crack actually appeared on the surface of the Scarlet Bead, and wisps of blood aura drifted out of it.
Zhao Zilong did not have the time to rejoice. He immediately changed his hand seals again!
The spilled blood aura drifted toward Zhao Zilong under an invisible force.
Bang!
Zhao Zilong's clothes exploded the moment they came into contact with the blood aura, and the whole room was filled with debris.
Zhao Zilong, who was enveloped by a large amount of blood aura, felt indescribably comfortable. Wisps of blood aura seeped into his body through his pores, gradually fusing with his limbs and bones, and slowly transforming Zhao Zilong's flesh and blood.
After an unknown amount of time, the blood aura in the room had completely disappeared. Zhao Zilong, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looked much more determined than before. He casually shook his body, and a popping sound could be heard.
Zhao Zilong clenched his fists and felt the seemingly endless power in his body. He suddenly punched out.
Bang!
A strong gust of wind directly broke the vase in the room, leaving behind fragments on the floor.
Zhao Zilong's heart was full of shock. He could clearly feel that a large amount of red blood aura was occupying the position of his Dantian. The red blood aura that he had absorbed before was not even 30% of the total amount.
Looking at the mess in the room, Zhao Zilong smiled helplessly. There was also a strange smell coming from the tip of his nose. It was the blood aura that he had absorbed this time. While strengthening his muscles and bones, he had also undergone a thorough cleansing.
He hurriedly rushed out of the courtyard. In a flash, he had already arrived at the waterfall at the back of the mountain.
The flowing water that originally had a great impact on him now could not move him at all!
Returning to his residence, Zhao Zilong raised his eyebrows slightly. He faintly felt that there seemed to be something in the depths of his mind.
He immediately focused his mind and "looked" into the depths of his mind. It was a grimoire that was emitting a faint red light in the center of his consciousness.
A Rank Four Martial Artist had already begun to break away from the category of "ordinary people". In general, they could already sit on the ground and look at themselves. In other words, when they calmed their minds, they could look at the meridians and consciousness in their bodies.
At this moment, Zhao Zilong had directly leaped from an ignorant cultivator to a level that was only a step away from the Qi Observation State that everyone in the Jianghu dreamed of. If this were to spread, many people would probably think that it was a fantasy story.
However, Zhao Zilong did not know that the moment the Scarlet Pearl broke, two divine senses instantly landed in his room. One of them was filled with a sense of righteousness and peace, while the other divine sense seemed to contain everything, extremely tolerant and profound.
When Zhao Zilong had successfully cleansed his marrow, the two divine senses only retreated separately.
At this moment, at the peak of Mount Azure Cloud.
Unspecialized Kong Zhun and Xuan Kong sat opposite each other.
Xuan Kong said with some envy, "Little Junior Brother really has great luck. A few weeks ago, he only asked me about this relic. I didn't think that he would get one in the blink of an eye. I wonder which senior left it behind."
However, Kong Zhun did not reply. Instead, he sighed and said, "This child Zhang Shan has never suffered much. It's not a loss that he fell into that person's hands this time. Just think of it as buying a lesson."
"Don't worry, Master. I know what I'm doing. It's just that Zhang Shan sneaked down the mountain this time. Will he …?" Xuan Kong asked worriedly.
"The world is about to fall into chaos. Everyone has their own fate. Let him be." Unspecialized Kong Zhun stroked his beard lightly, unconcerned.
…
At this moment, Zhao Zilong was exceptionally strained in his own consciousness. The closer he got to the red grimoire in the depths of his mind, the greater the pressure he felt.
That seemingly inconspicuous red light made Zhao Zilong unable to resist at all.
In the end, even after using all his strength, Zhao Zilong could only see three blood-red words on the page: "Combatant Formula!"
As the saying goes, when a combatant appears in the world, it will definitely be a chaotic world. Right now, the days of peace were probably numbered …
