Chen Zong's True Qi was extremely pure. It was definitely extraordinary among the Ninth Layer Foundation Realm cultivators, but at this moment, when this extremely pure True Qi encountered the terrifying blazing aura, it was directly destroyed and burned into nothingness.
It was incomparably hot. He felt that the terrifying aura spread out and flowed through the opened meridians. It was as if the meridians were burned to ashes. Immediately after, it rushed out of the meridians and covered his internal organs. As it spread out rapidly, it also covered his bones and muscles.
Traces of lavender mist rushed out of his skin and covered his body. His cyan robe was burned to ashes in an instant. His hair, eyebrows, and other hairs were also burned into nothingness under this terrifying heat.
Even though his willpower was extremely strong, Chen Zong felt that his body was about to melt, just like his hair and clothes, turning into ashes.
With a move of his Spiritual Sense, the power of the Heart Sword also emerged and quickly spread out to resist the terrifying blazing aura.
According to Chen Zong's guess, the power of the Heart Sword should be a type of Transcendent Force. Even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be inferior to Transcendent Force. It belonged to a different system of power from True Qi and was even more powerful.
The power of the Heart Sword was indeed very strong. It immediately resisted the terrifying blazing aura and was evenly matched.
However, activating the power of the Heart Sword required the consumption of Spiritual Sense. Chen Zong's Spiritual Sense was indeed not weak, but it wasn't endless. Moreover, activating the power of the Heart Sword consumed a lot of Spiritual Sense.
Moreover, Chen Zong was only at the Foundation Realm and hadn't reached the Transcendent Realm yet. To some extent, his Spiritual Sense was restricted and couldn't be fully utilized.
Every breath, the consumption of Spiritual Sense by the Heart Sword was astonishing.
Because resisting this blazing aura consumed even more Spiritual Sense.
After only ten breaths, Chen Zong felt that nearly a third of his Spiritual Sense had been consumed. The remaining Spiritual Sense could only last for another twenty breaths at most.
Once his spiritual sense was exhausted, he would not be able to maintain the Heart Sword Force. At that time, what should he use to resist this blazing aura? Would he be burned to ashes like those who had entered this place in the past?
Chen Zong didn't know, so he could only try his best to resist it. He hoped that the burning breath would be consumed before his soul sense was exhausted. After all, if he consumed his soul sense, so would the burning breath.
It was late at night, and all the miners had left to rest. Except for Chen Zong, there was no other living creature in the mine. It was silent.
Moreover, even if there were people around, they wouldn't come to this dangerous area.
Twenty breaths of time was actually very short, and it passed by very quickly.
"Am I going to die here?" Chen Zong smiled bitterly.
In the Blue Waves World, when he faced the Maniac, he fought with all his might until the very end. He recklessly unleashed the power of the Heaven Ascending Pagoda, but the price he had to pay was the collapse of his body. He thought that he was dead for sure, but he actually stimulated the power of the Heart Sword Seal and came to this world.
Lingwu Holy World!
It was a world that was more advanced than the Blue Waves World, and it was also the world where the Heart Sword Seal originally existed. Here, Chen Zong saw a more brilliant way of cultivation and the hope of becoming more powerful. Moreover, he had already embarked on this path.
Death, everyone would encounter it and have to face it. However, Chen Zong didn't expect that he would die so quickly and in such a way. He would die here unknowingly and silently.
The last trace of his soul sense was also exhausted. Chen Zong only felt as if he was constantly falling, sinking into an endless abyss.
At the same time, the burning breath seemed to have exhausted its last trace of power. It quickly quieted down and disappeared without a trace.
As the burning breath retreated, the light purple flame mist covering Chen Zong's body also withdrew and retreated into his body.
It could be seen that Chen Zong's skin was not damaged. On the contrary, it looked more glossy.
Chen Zong was already unconscious. He was lying straight on the ground. Suddenly, a layer of fine black color drilled out of his bald head and kept growing longer. That was his hair.
Then, his eyebrows also slowly grew out.
After a period of time, his hair returned to its original length. However, each strand of hair looked more lustrous.
If a comparison had to be made, his previous hair was withered grass, and now his hair was green grass.
After two hours, Chen Zong's eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened them. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Immediately, Chen Zong realized that he was still alive.
He was still alive. This was a great joy. A feeling of joy emerged from the deepest part of his heart.
Immediately, a feeling of weakness welled up and he had a splitting headache. Chen Zong knew that this was the sequela of over-exhausting his soul sense. However, he had recovered a little now.
After waking up, he also operated the Spirit Refining Method. His soul sense began to recover faster and his headache was relieved and gradually disappeared.
Chen Zong just took out a new robe from the storage ring and put it on. Immediately, he checked his body.
As soon as he checked, Chen Zong was shocked.
His meridians were empty. There was nothing. All of his True Qi had been exhausted. However, it was still okay. It was troublesome to completely exhaust it, but it could be recovered.
What really surprised Chen Zong was the meridians.
The meridians that had been opened, whether it was the main meridians or the auxiliary meridians, were like channels that allowed True Qi to flow freely without obstruction. Now, his meridians were still unobstructed, but they were twice as large as before. Moreover, the meridians were filled with a faint light as if they were a layer of protective film. Chen Zong could feel that his meridians had become tougher.
The meridians had become thicker and tougher, which meant that they could hold more True Qi. It also meant that the meridians could withstand the impact and eruption of power faster.
Without a doubt, this was a very good thing.
Chen Zong never expected that the mysterious purple flame would not burn him to death. Instead, it caused such a change in him.
Between his bones, muscles, and internal organs, there was a layer of faint fluorescent light. It was like a layer of protective film that better protected him.
When he looked inside himself, Chen Zong's "vision" finally focused on his abdomen. There was a faint purple mist condensing there. In the center of the purple mist, there was a thumb-sized cloud pattern flame.
This purple flame seemed to have settled down in Chen Zong's abdomen as if it were its home.
"What on earth is this thing?" Chen Zong did not know. He was too inexperienced. When he went back, he would have to look through the ancient books collected by the Blue Cloud Sect. Perhaps he could find the answer.
For now, it did not seem to be a bad thing that this thing had entered his body. At least it brought him some benefits. As for what would happen in the future, he would have to find out what it was first.
Immediately, Chen Zong tried to touch the purple flame in his abdomen with his recovered spiritual sense. He immediately felt a burst of heat, but this heat was not like the feeling of being burned before. It seemed to have acknowledged him.
He tried to communicate with it, but there was no response. The flame seemed to have some spirituality, but it did not have any intelligence.
Of course, it was also possible that the flame did not want to acknowledge Chen Zong.
All in all, he did not get any results. Chen Zong tried to see if he could mobilize the purple flame, but he found that the purple flame did not move at all. Even the surrounding faint purple mist was motionless, as if it was frozen in the space in his abdomen.
Chen Zong could only give up after the fruitless attempt.
He began to operate his Cultivation Method to restore his Genuine Qi.
It was difficult to restore his Genuine Qi after it was completely consumed. However, when the first wisp of Genuine Qi appeared, the speed of recovery began to increase.
Chen Zong was surprised by his Genuine Qi. Compared with before, it was completely different.
He kept operating his Cultivation Method and urged it to the extreme. His Genuine Qi flowed in his meridians at an even faster speed. Immediately, Chen Zong was surprised by what happened.
The originally motionless faint purple mist in his abdomen seemed to be inexplicably drawn. Wisps of it diffused into his meridians and merged with his Genuine Qi.
It was another change that Chen Zong did not know about, but he could not stop it. He could only let nature take its course.
When Chen Zong's Genuine Qi was completely restored, his appearance changed completely.
First of all, in terms of quantity, it had doubled. Because his meridians had doubled, the amount of Genuine Qi fused had increased, so it doubled.
Secondly, the purity of his Genuine Qi had also doubled, which meant that the explosive power had doubled.
Third, the original Genuine Qi of the Illusory Fog Heaven Cloud had merged with the faint purple mist. In the midst of the change, there was a kind of blazing heat, which seemed to be able to melt fine steel in an instant.
With a thought, new Genuine Qi suddenly emerged from his meridians and gathered in his hand.
When he opened his palm, it could be seen that the Genuine Qi, which was originally white like clouds and mist, was now dyed with a faint layer of purple, which made it more dreamy. It condensed into the shape of a flame in the palm of his hand, swaying and burning fiercely.
With a gentle press, the Genuine Qi flame instantly pierced through the hard cave wall and blasted a hole silently. It felt as easy as smashing tofu.
"So powerful!" Chen Zong could not help but be shocked.
This kind of power was at least several times stronger than the Genuine Qi from before.
Chen Zong felt that this Genuine Qi could no longer be considered as the Genuine Qi cultivated by the Illusory Fog Heaven Cloud Technique, but a new kind of Genuine Qi. At the same time, this Genuine Qi evolved from the Illusory Fog Heaven Cloud Technique, so it could still be activated by the Illusory Fog Heaven Cloud Technique.
"I reckon that the purity of my Genuine Qi now is not inferior to the Genuine Qi cultivated by a Mortal Level Peerless Technique that grasps the technique intent," Chen Zong thought to himself.
He did not expect that he would encounter such an opportunity overnight, which caused his strength to increase by leaps and bounds. Compared to before, although his cultivation did not increase, his strength was at least several times stronger.
"With my current strength, even if I don't use the Heart Sword Force, I can still defeat Lin Zhengchun," Chen Zong estimated after comparing.
Of course, whether he could really defeat a Half-Step Transcendent like Lin Zhengchun was still unknown without using his full strength. However, at the very least, he would not lose to him. This was his confidence.
Getting up, Chen Zong quickly left and even placed the stone back in its original position. There were no traces of it being moved.
His figure turned into a wisp of smoke, and his speed was much faster than before. He quickly left the tunnel and returned along the way.
At this time, it was already close to dawn. The two guards outside the mine were resting with their eyes closed and did not notice any movement. Chen Zong had already left the mine and quickly returned to the Clear Cloud Pavilion.
