Perhaps, under certain circumstances, there was still a possibility for him to recover? Even if he lost his strongest right arm, as long as he could recover Kirin's Thundercloud Force, it would be good!
Closing his eyes, Qi Yue no longer had the Thundercloud Force. He could only use his spiritual power to slowly circulate according to the previous cultivation method, hoping to absorb a part of the energy to circulate in his meridians.
Under the effect of the Ascending Qilin Secret Art, the external energy molecules began to slowly condense in his body. The speed of condensation was at least ten times slower than before. When the energy molecules of various attributes entered Qi Yue's body, they immediately melted like snow. His body was like a huge abyss, constantly devouring the energy that was absorbed.
At this moment, Qi Yue also clearly felt that the warm energy that appeared in his dantian was also being absorbed by his body. When he cultivated the Ascending Qilin Secret Art, although the warm energy still existed, it didn't enter his meridians, but was continuously absorbed by his empty body.
It was still the same, there was no effect at all.
Qi Yue couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Although he knew that it was useless to be anxious, he still felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart. Do I really have to wait for a hundred years? I might not even be able to move for a hundred years! Inheriting Kirin's bloodline didn't mean that I'm the real Kirin. I'm still a human, and I only have the lifespan of a human.
Do I really have to wait? In the history of the Kirin Clan, have there not been any miracles? Even if it's only for a few decades. At least I still have hope. Although Zagrú and the others didn't say anything, Qi Yue was very clear that without him, it would be extremely difficult to find the best three Zodiac Guardian Warriors. At the same time, without the assistance of him who inherited Kirin's bloodline, the Zodiac Guardian Warriors would never be able to reach their peak strength! How can I lose my energy just like that? Oh god! Even if I have to lose a few decades of my lifespan, I still hope to regain my original status. Even if the time was short, a happy life was much better than a mediocre one. How am I worthy of Ruyue, Ming Ming, and Wen Ting now? Even if they didn't have that kind of thought, as time passed and they watched their strength increase day by day, inferiority complex would appear sooner or later.
Qi Yue's heart was in a mess. The Ascending Qilin Technique, which was already slow to begin with, suddenly became even slower. The energy from the Suan Ni's flesh was still being absorbed by his body. Apart from feeling a little more powerful, there wasn't even the slightest bit of energy. Am I really going to go on like this?
He barely managed to complete the cultivation of seven Yunzhou. Qi Yue's heart could no longer calm down. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was the huge energy in Wen Ting's body. Even when Qi Yue was at his peak, he definitely didn't have such a surging energy. The fiery red light spread around in circles. The clothes on Wen Ting's body had disappeared. Of course, she wasn't naked. A layer of ruby-like scale armor appeared on the surface of her skin. The scale armor was somewhat similar to his original Ink Kirin Armor, and contained an unusually hot energy.
Wen Ting looked very calm, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that her strength had improved with the help of the Suan Ni's flesh. Energy, energy!
Qi Yue forcefully clenched his left fist. He wanted to vent, but he was afraid that it would affect Wen Ting's cultivation. He could only silently sit there and watch his beloved woman cultivate, but he couldn't do anything.
The energy in Wen Ting's body became more and more intense. The entire room of Qi Yue was filled with hot air. Qi Yue's body was already somewhat unable to bear this kind of heat. However, the pain in his heart stimulated his stubborn personality. He resisted the invasion of the heat and sat motionlessly in front of Wen Ting, quietly waiting for her to wake up from her cultivation.
However, Wen Ting's cultivation didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. One hour passed, two hours passed, and the temperature in the room was still rising. Qi Yue even smelled the smell of barbecued meat on his body. The clothes on his body had already turned into a burnt yellow color. However, he still endured it. His brain was a little dizzy because of the heat around him. Looking at the flowing light on Wen Ting's face, Qi Yue's heart gradually calmed down.
Even if he had already lost it, what was the use of suffering? The words that he used to comfort them should be used on him. The past was the past. Perhaps, he should leave this place. Only by not seeing it would his heart be at peace.
Thinking of this, Qi Yue already had his own plans. Just as he was about to leave the room, the Kirin Bead on his chest suddenly lit up. Purple, blue, red, and green. Although the four colors of light were very faint, Qi Yue could clearly feel the energy contained in them. Those four Thundercloud Force were so familiar! However, he soon realized that the appearance of these four types of energy wasn't caused by him, nor was it caused by the energy emitted by Wen Ting. Instead, it was emitted from the inside of the Kirin Bead. The four types of energy were exactly the same as his own. The energy that triggered them was the purest origin energy of Kirin's bloodline, the Kirin Bead.
Where did Kirin origin energy come from? Qi Yue looked at the Kirin Bead on his chest in surprise. He temporarily dispelled the idea of leaving the room. At this moment, the Kirin Bead suddenly lit up. A dark red light floated out. As the light shone, an item suddenly appeared in front of Qi Yue. It was Kirin Hidden.
The dark red light on Kirin Hidden fluctuated slowly. It didn't seem to lose its effect because of Qi Yue's energy. After breaking free from the Kirin Bead, the area of Kirin Hidden seemed to have increased. In an instant, it enveloped the entire room.
The sunlight outside the window was blocked by Kirin Hidden. The room suddenly turned dark as if it was shrouded by thick clouds. Qi Yue wasn't worried when he saw this scene. Kirin Hidden was still one of the eight treasures of Kirin left behind by Wen Ting's father. No matter what the situation was, it wouldn't hurt him or Wen Ting. However, what did its appearance mean? A huge question mark appeared in Qi Yue's mind.
The pure Kirin energy not only made Wen Ting, who was still cultivating, feel extremely comfortable. Even Qi Yue's weak body felt full of strength when it enveloped him. It was very wonderful. Although he didn't have any energy, when he was enveloped by the energy of the same element as his, Qi Yue's body felt comfortable both physically and mentally.
"Thank you, child." A calm and dignified voice rang out quietly.
Qi Yue was stunned. He didn't know where this voice came from. However, just like the energy that Kirin Hidden emitted, this voice that suddenly appeared also made him feel very close.
"Who are you?"
"What do you think?" The dignified voice sounded a little more gentle.
A light flashed in Qi Yue's eyes, and he cried out involuntarily, "Could it be, could it be that you're the senior who created Kirin Hidden, the father of Wen Ting?"
A silver light suddenly lit up in the pitch-black space. Under the illumination of the silver light, a stalwart figure appeared three meters in front of Qi Yue. The tall figure looked very tall and straight. He was about two meters tall, and the proportion of his body structure was actually very perfect. His long silver hair was quietly draped over his back, and his pitch-black eyes looked very deep. His whole body was covered in a black robe, and his deep eyes were firmly fixed on Qi Yue.
"You're very smart. That's right, I'm Wen Ting's father, the eternal sinner of Kirin Team 1. " The dignified voice sounded a little more lonely and indescribable sadness. The thick sadness was the same feeling that Qi Yue had experienced when he first met Kirin Hidden.
"It's really you. So you're not dead! That's great, that's really great. If Wen Ting knew that you're still alive, I don't know how happy she would be. "Qi Yue looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and his heart was filled with excitement. His excitement was for Wen Ting.
The middle-aged man shook his head gently and said, "No, child, I'm already dead. After using the ultimate ability of Kirin's arm, I used my remaining energy to create Kirin Hidden, cutting off my last trace of vitality. How could I still be alive? What you're seeing now is only the divine sense that I left on Kirin Hidden. "
Qi Yue's body trembled, and he said, "Divine sense? I don't understand what you mean. "
The middle-aged man said indifferently, "After all, the Qilin Concealment is the only thing I left in this world. Before I died, a part of my soul naturally fused with the Qilin Concealment. If the Qilin Concealment doesn't have my soul, then it wouldn't be worthy of being called one of the Qilin Octadic Treasures. However, my soul has always been hidden in Kirin Hidden. It can be said that I've been in a deep sleep, and I should never have woken up. However, under the stimulation of the Giant Beast's relic in my poor daughter's body, I actually woke up. To be honest, I really didn't want to wake up, because when my consciousness and soul woke up, I would be tortured by endless self-blame. This time, when I woke up in the Thousand Search Tower, I heard everything you said and saw everything you did. At that time, I really wanted to help you, but unfortunately, I'm no longer the King Kirin of the past. I've lost all my power. So, I could only watch the tragedy unfold before my eyes. Why is it a tragedy? Is everything related to me destined to end in tragedy? No, I won't allow that to happen. "
Looking at the middle-aged man's face that had become distorted due to emotion, Qi Yue's heart was filled with sympathy. "Senior, although you were very wrong back then, you also suffered the most. After so many years, I believe that even if the other ancestors of Kirin were still alive, they would definitely forgive you. After all, love is not wrong."
"No, no, they won't forgive me. Even if they are willing to forgive me, I will never want to forgive myself. Alright, let's not talk about the past anymore. I don't have much time left, and I need to return the spiritual force that I possess to Kirin Hidden to help you master its true power in the future. Now, listen to me carefully."
Qi Yue nodded and said, "Go ahead. However, Senior, do you want me to wake up Wen Ting first? She must want to see you very much. "
"No, there's no need. I understand your good intentions, but I can't see her because I don't have the face to see my pitiful daughter. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have to suffer so much pain that she shouldn't have. You don't have to worry, she can actually hear everything we are talking about now. It's just that she can't wake up under the influence of my Kirin's elemental energy. What I'm going to say is very important to you and her." The middle-aged man's emotions gradually disappeared.
Qi Yue said, "Then speak."
The middle-aged man said, "When you used the ultimate Kirin's arm, I saw everything clearly. Actually, you don't know how lucky you are. Although you have inherited Kirin's bloodline and have cultivated to a certain level, compared to a ten-thousand-year golden-winged eagle, you are still too far away. With your four-cloud level strength, it is impossible for you to unleash the true power of the ultimate Kirin's arm. The reason why you were able to succeed that day was mainly because the golden-winged eagle was already injured. At the same time, under the influence of the Buddhist energy and those westerners, your strength was greatly reduced. That was why you were able to succeed at the last moment and complete the soul stealing. Therefore, I say that you are lucky. At the same time, although you didn't unleash the true power of the ultimate Kirin's arm, this is also your luck. "
"Ah! You call this luck? I have already lost all my energy! "Qi Yue didn't quite understand what the middle-aged man meant.
The middle-aged man showed a rare smile and said, "Of course this is luck. Perhaps you haven't truly understood the meaning of the ultimate Kirin's arm. The ultimate Kirin's arm is a huge amount of energy exchanged by Kirin at the cost of his own life. When he destroys the enemy, he also destroys himself. You and I are both Ink Kirin. Ink Kirin has always been different in the Kirin Clan because we have the ability to steal the soul. We can steal the vitality of the other party at the last moment to preserve our lives."
"However, although our lives are preserved, our own energy will also disappear because we used all our strength to unleash the ultimate Kirin's arm. That is an attack that completely overdraws our energy. However, no matter how powerful the ultimate Kirin's arm is, it is still energy after all. As long as it is energy, it has its own strength. Every Kirin's attack power of the ultimate Kirin's arm is different at different times and under different circumstances. For ordinary Kirin, of course, it is better to unleash as much power as possible because that is the only way to destroy the enemy. However, this is not the case for Ink Kirin, because Ink Kirin will not die after using the ultimate Kirin's arm. Therefore, after we use the ultimate Kirin's arm, from the perspective of self-recovery, it is naturally better for us to unleash the ultimate Kirin's arm as little power as possible because the less power we unleash, the less energy we overdraw on ourselves. If you want to recover your Kirin's arm, the first thing you have to do is to completely replenish the energy that erupted from that attack. Only then can you regenerate the Kirin's arm and regain Kirin's abilities. "
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Qi Yue had a deeper understanding of the ultimate Kirin's arm. He nodded and said, "I have also thought about some of what you said. However, because I have lost my original ability, when I re-cultivate now, even with the assistance of the Kirin Pearl, my cultivation speed is much slower than before. If I can't strengthen my own Thundercloud Force, this cultivation speed will always have to continue. If this continues, I'm afraid that I will only be able to return to my original peak state after 100 years."
The middle-aged man said, "In theory, this is the case. This is also the reason why it is the most difficult for Ink Kirin to recover its energy. Back then, I was once the most outstanding genius of the Kirin Clan, and the ultimate Kirin's arm has always been the trump card of the Kirin Clan. Therefore, I have studied it carefully and discovered that apart from the known abilities, Kirin has another ability that other divine beasts and beasts cannot compare to, and that is eating."
"Eating? I have a feeling that there is no one who can eat more than me now. "Qi Yue touched his belly subconsciously. He had just eaten a lot of Suanni meat at noon.
The middle-aged man said, "Yes, it is eating. Eating is actually one of the abilities of Kirin. As the saying goes, the mouth can eat in all directions. Eating is the main source of energy for any living creature. Whether it is Kirin or humans, this is a fact. Kirin can eat. As long as you eat something with enough energy, you will naturally be able to replenish the energy you have lost. Naturally, you won't need 100 years to recover."
Qi Yue was pleasantly surprised and said, "Then what should I eat? Can human food do? "
"Of course not." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Even though ordinary food contains energy as well, it's too little in the end, and it's utterly insignificant when compared to the consumption of the Qilin Arm. If you want to recover your strength, then you must eat food that contains an enormous amount of energy, and ancient ferocious beasts and divine beasts are the best choices. Kirin is the king of divine beasts, naturally, it can't eat divine beasts. Therefore, what you need to eat now is a large amount of vicious beasts, or rather, devour. Devour their bodies and the energy they have. "
"Ah! Is it like the Suanni I ate today? "
"Yes, the energy contained in the Suanni you ate today is very large, and it is very good for your body. You should also feel the changes in your body's energy. However, eating Suanni alone is not enough. You have four attributes, so in terms of eating, you have to start from the four attributes. When the ultimate Kirin's arm explodes, the energy consumed can't be measured by the number of opponents you eliminate. Also, if you eat it, you will only be able to absorb 1% of the energy of the original Direbeast. Although the rest of the Direbeast's energy will also be absorbed by you, it will basically be converted into your body's functions. For example, it will make your body more resilient and defensive, or it will have a certain enhancement effect when you use the Cloud Power. Therefore, if you want to restore your strength as soon as possible, you must eat a large amount of vicious beasts. I will teach you a devouring skill. In the future, as long as you kill a vicious beast, as long as the vicious beast's attribute is one of your four attributes, you can use this skill to directly devour it. It's best if you don't let go of the Nei Pill. "
"Wait a minute, Senior, I have a question." Qi Yue interrupted the middle-aged man's words.
"Go ahead."
Qi Yue: "If it's measured by energy, how many vicious beasts do I have to eat to make up for my loss?"
The middle-aged man thought about it and said, "This number is not small. Ordinary vicious beasts have very limited energy, and the intensity of the energy is not enough, so you have to eat powerful vicious beasts to have an effect. You have to eat vicious beasts with at least 3,000 years of cultivation. I did a simple calculation. If it's 3,000-year-old vicious beasts, you should eat about 4,000 to 5,000 of them. As for 6,000-year-old vicious beasts, I think you should eat about 1,000 of them, or even less. If you eat 10,000-year-old vicious beasts, then about 50 of them should be enough to make up for your loss. At the same time, under the influence of the energy contained in 50 vicious beasts, your strength can at least increase from the original Four-Cloud realm to the Seven-Cloud or Eight-Cloud realm. Of course, this is closely related to the quality of the vicious beasts you eat. "
"Uh … Senior, you're not joking, right? Just finding 4,000 to 5,000 3,000-year-old vicious beasts will take a long time. It's hard to say if there are so many of them in the entire Yan Huang land. As for 6,000-year-old and 10,000-year-old vicious beasts, with the current strength of our Zodiac Guardian God, not to mention a few dozen, even one is already very difficult to deal with. Even if we really find so many vicious beasts and eat them all, it will probably take about 100 years." After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Qi Yue's initial hope immediately disappeared. After all, what the middle-aged man said was too unrealistic. The middle-aged man said indifferently, "I'm just telling you the possibilities.
Yan Huang is vast and bountiful. Don't think that the number of vicious beasts is small. Although it will be difficult to find them, as long as you have the heart, you will definitely be able to do it. It's a pity that absorbing the energy of the vicious beasts can only replenish your own Thundercloud Force by 1%. Otherwise, one or two 10,000-year-old vicious beasts would be enough. Moreover, you've also devoured a Golden Roc. No matter what, I will impart this Devouring Skill to you. You just need to activate it with energy and you can complete it. "
The contract shook his head and said, "Senior, I don't think I need this skill. Even if we can find enough vicious beasts according to what you said, I don't want my companions to take risks for me. I'm no different from an ordinary person now. Can I let my companions run around for my own sake? At the same time, they have to take care of the weak me. That definitely won't do. This time, I won't be lucky enough to deal with the Suan Ni and the Golden Roc forever. If anything happens to any of them, I will never be able to forgive myself. "
"Idiot, who said that your companions will help you capture the vicious beasts? What are you doing for a living?" The middle-aged man's voice already had a hint of anger in it.
Qi Yue was taken aback and said, "Me? Did I hear wrongly? Since you know my current situation, you shouldn't be asking this! "
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed. "It wasn't easy for me to condense my own spirit and appear. If I didn't have a complete plan, would I waste so much time talking to you? Shut up, there's no need to interrupt. Let me finish. "
When Qi Yue heard this, he immediately had some idea of what was going on. He nodded and quietly listened.
The middle-aged man continued, "That's right, you have now lost all your energy. However, that doesn't mean everything. Don't forget, you still have four pieces of Kirin's Octadic Treasures. If you can gather all eight pieces and obtain their recognition, even if you don't have any strength, I'm afraid that very few people can harm you. Although you only have four pieces now, as long as you use them well, they can still play a huge role."
Qi Yue wanted to say something, but he remembered that the middle-aged man didn't allow him to speak. He reluctantly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The middle-aged man looked at his hesitant expression and said, "I know what you want to ask. You must think that the Kirin's Octadic Treasures can only be used with a powerful Thundercloud Force, right?"
Qi Yue nodded. This was exactly what he was wondering.
The middle-aged man said indifferently, "That's right. What I want to say now is also the most important thing. It's about your Thundercloud Force. Your original strength is Four-Cloud. If I say that I have a way to restore your strength to Five-Cloud, do you have any questions?"
"Huh?" Qi Yue couldn't help but say, "No, how is that possible? If that's the case, I don't need to devour the beasts anymore. Senior, don't tell me you have the same idea as Tingting? That's definitely not possible. "
"Bullsh * t, Tingting is my daughter. How can I let her sacrifice herself for you?" The middle-aged man said angrily.
Qi Yue scratched his head and said, "I didn't study much since I was young, so I'm not very smart. Senior, just tell me directly. What do I need to do?"
The middle-aged man said, "It's very simple. Let Tingting be your right arm."
"What?" Qi Yue's eyes widened.
The middle-aged man said, "After I got together with Tingting's mother, I thought about the possible problems that could occur with living behemoth relics. As the greatest genius of the Kirin Clan, I came up with a way to protect my daughter through my research on energy and the situation after the appearance of living behemoth relics. That is to fuse with her body. I think when Tingting was born, her mother must have placed the imprint I made on her. As long as that's the case, there won't be any problems."
This time, Qi Yue didn't interrupt. He clearly felt that what the middle-aged man said was completely different from what Wen Ting thought. After all, as a father, how could he let his daughter sacrifice herself for someone else?
"This requires a tacit understanding between the two of you. Even I don't know to what extent the effect will be produced. Qi Yue, you know that although Tingting's body contains an unusually large amount of energy, as the main body of the living behemoth relic, she can't use this ability. It would be a pity if the energy in her body is wasted. There have been living behemoth relics in the past. When I was still very young, I carefully thought about whether there was a way to make the energy of the living behemoth relic be used without harming the main body of the living behemoth relic. After many years of research, I finally came to a theoretical conclusion. Now, whether it succeeds or not depends on your and Tingting's luck. "
Qi Yue was overjoyed. "Senior, do you mean that you can transfer the excess energy in Wen Ting's body to me without harming her?"
"In your dreams. How can there be such a good thing? The living behemoth relic is originally a creation of heaven and earth. In order to truly absorb it, you must sacrifice the life of the living behemoth relic. This is the way of balance of heaven. The method I'm talking about is not to transfer the energy in Wen Ting's body to you, but to let you temporarily borrow this energy under certain circumstances. Although it won't last for a long time, it will allow you to have at least the strength of a Six Clouds warrior for a period of time. It should be enough to deal with some ordinary beasts. As you continue to devour the beast's energy to replenish yourself, when you truly return to your previous state, perhaps you can really absorb a part of the living behemoth relic's energy in Tingting's body. As for how much you can absorb, no one has tested it before, so I'm not sure. I can only say that it is very possible in theory. "
"Temporarily obtaining the power of Five Clouds is good too! It's much better than being a cripple right now. Senior, please teach me. "
The silver light around the middle-aged man's body weakened a little. His gaze also softened. As his lips moved, a strand of voice directly drilled into Qi Yue's brain, leaving an indelible mark in his mind.
Qi Yue felt dizzy, as if there was something extra in his mind. Even he didn't know how long had passed. It seemed to be only an instant, but also as long as a century.
"Alright, I'll directly imprint everything in your memory. This way, you won't forget it. Not only is there the devouring method, but there's also a method for you to temporarily use the energy in Tingting's body. Remember, Tingting's energy doesn't belong to you after all. You can only use it for one hour a day. If you exceed this time limit, it will greatly affect Tingting's body, or even endanger her life. If you hadn't risked your life to save her, I would never have taught you this method. "
"One hour? I think that's enough. Thank you, senior. Is there anything else you want to tell me? " The middle-aged man's voice was now obviously much weaker. In the flickering light, his figure gradually became blurry. Qi Yue knew that this tragic figure in the history of the Kirin Clan was about to leave.
