Chapter 83: Qi Condensation Stage Three
There are three pieces of good news and also three pieces of bad news.
Let’s talk about the good news first, at least I can have a good mood to welcome the bad news.
The first piece of good news is——
The series of terrifying disasters that occurred previously not only led to the on-site execution of a large number of Demon Beasts, but also caused tremendous changes in the terrain.
This also made the geographical predicament that he had been unable to break through before, easily resolved on the spot.
Now he is no longer in the original Jungle, and he is far beyond the farthest boundary he had reached before, successfully entering a new environment that has never been explored.
This time, breaking free from the shackles is like a fish entering the sea, or a bird soaring into the sky.
Even if he doesn’t encounter any Natives later, he will become freer than ever before.
As for the second piece of good news, it is related to the Heaven-Seizing Hand Ring.
The sun… well, maybe that thing isn’t the sun.
The most important reason why Qi Xuan discovered this is that he had close contact with the Sun Fragments.
The Flame Stream that rushed down instantly burned all the Demon Beasts, including the Giant Octopus.
Originally, he would not have escaped death, but fortunately, he was saved by a Substitute Death Talisman.
This also allowed him to witness the new changes that occurred after the Flame Stream landed.
The land that was completely burned out originally, immediately ushered in new Vitality after the Flame Stream spread.
The barren land turned into lush green grass and dense Vegetation in the blink of an eye.
The Insects lurking underground rapidly grew into huge creatures.
The land expanded, the earth veins stood up and protruded into mountains, and the cracks expanded and widened into rivers.
He witnessed the changes of creation with his own eyes.
Then… he almost died a second time.
The Flame Stream contained extremely terrifying Spiritual Energy, and all the changes around it came from this. As the Cultivator closest to it, if it weren’t for the Heaven-Seizing Hand Ring helping him absorb a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, he would have been blown up on the spot.
And after absorbing a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, the Heaven-Seizing Hand Ring seemed to be further activated. He hasn’t figured out the other functions yet, but this thing can now change size freely according to his will.
Combined with its incredibly hard and indestructible Characteristic, this thing is completely a Magic Artifact with great power!
Throw it out casually, put it on someone’s neck, and shrink it with a click——
What do you say is the difference between it and a blood-dripping blade?
Of course, there is still a difference, it is more versatile than the blood-dripping blade.
Even if it doesn’t catch the neck, it doesn’t matter, catching the waist or chest is the same, and it can give people a waist cut on the spot.
It’s really fucking brutal to the extreme.
However, there is a prerequisite here, which is to be able to accurately catch people, if you can’t catch them, there’s no way.
He can only simply throw and retract it now, and can’t freely manipulate the hand ring to make it fall to a designated position, or even chase the enemy to catch them.
But according to Qi Xuan’s estimation, when he reaches the Foundation Stage, he will probably be able to freely manipulate this treasure, and maybe he can also unlock the hidden secrets——
A Golden Core would probably explode on the spot after swallowing so much Spiritual Energy, but this hand ring is fine, and even gives people the feeling that it hasn’t swallowed enough, which shows that its Grade can at least be comparable to a Golden Core, and is definitely not an ordinary Magic Artifact.
The third piece of good news is related to himself.
Although the Heaven-Seizing Hand Ring helped him withstand the explosive impact of a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, it still leaked a very small amount, which he absorbed, and this also made him instantly advance from Qi Refining Stage Two to Three, and even not far from Four.
The changes in strength brought about by the improvement of his Realm are self-evident. His speed, strength, and other physical qualities have all been improved in all aspects, and even the healing speed of his injuries has been greatly improved, allowing him to escape danger several times and survive safely.
More importantly, he awakened the third change of Qi Refining, and obtained the third ability after 【Refining Essence】, 【Spiritual Sense】!
This ability is called 【Yuan Core】, simply put, it is the second core.
There are generally three Dantians in a Cultivator’s body.
The upper Dantian is located deep within the Yintang acupoint between the eyebrows, also known as the Purple Palace, and is the center of activity for the spirit and will.
The lower Dantian is located in the Guanyuan acupoint area, and is also the Dantian often mentioned in Cultivation Techniques, which is closely related to the Cultivator’s Realm breakthrough.
As for the middle Dantian, it is located in the Shanzhong acupoint area of the chest. Except for some Cultivation Techniques that may mention the running route, it is often ignored and has a very low sense of existence.
And 【Yuan Core】 is located within the middle Dantian.
The 【Yuan Core】 is an energy core the size of a marble. Don’t underestimate its small size, it is the result of the extreme compression of Spiritual Energy in the body.
Under normal circumstances, it takes about two times to drain the Spiritual Energy in the body before it can be completely formed.
This means that with the 【Yuan Core】, he will have twice as much Spiritual Energy in his body as Cultivators of the same Realm.
In this way, when the enemy fights him, they finally exhaust the Spiritual Energy in his body… Sorry, I’m going to activate the hidden energy, let’s fight two more rounds.
In addition to the significant increase in combat endurance and escape endurance, the existence of the 【Yuan Core】 also means that his output limit has been greatly improved.
Think about it, if one day he draws a certain killer move and can drain all the Spiritual Energy in his body at once.
With the addition of the 【Yuan Core】, the power is directly increased by three times.
The enemy who could only be seriously injured originally, can be instantly killed by him on the spot.
It’s simply outrageous.
Qi Xuan estimates that even if he is in the Foundation Stage, probably not many can master such a terrifying ability.
After talking about the good news, let’s talk about the bad news.
Although there are three pieces of bad news, they can actually only be said to be prepared for a rainy day.
The first two are related to the environment he is currently in.
After the Sun Collapse, he fled everywhere in the midst of the mountain collapse and the earth cracking. Although he couldn’t tell the direction along the way, he ran wherever it was safe, but in general, he was still going down.
Now, he should have arrived under the Cliff and the sea of mist that he saw before.
According to the observations at the time, including the Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon and other terrifying Demon Beasts, they were all entrenched in the sea of mist.
Although a lot of them have been eliminated by the Flame Stream now, the Spiritual Energy that is impacting everywhere afterwards is probably making a large number of Demon Beasts that survived by chance rapidly grow.
Considering the environment of the sea of mist, the Demon Beasts here, both in quantity and quality, are far beyond those he had encountered before.
The situation is very serious.
In addition to the high-level Demon Beasts, what made Qi Xuan feel his scalp numb was the Bloody Handprints he saw on the cliff in the South before.
Now he is at the same height as the bodies of those Bloody Handprints, and he might suddenly encounter them at any time.
Heaven knows what kind of Monsters they are?
Qi Xuan is determined to stay far away from the South, the farther the better, even if he doesn’t encounter the Natives, he will never run into those Monsters.
As for the third piece of bad news, it is naturally the remaining three suns in the sky.
There is one, then there will be two.
Now that one has collapsed, the remaining three may collapse at any time.
He won’t be as lucky as this time every time. If he is grazed by the Flame Stream next time, that will be the end of both his body and soul.
He has to hurry up and improve his strength!
He has to find a way to become stronger!
Thinking of this, Qi Xuan immediately opened the Lottery page.
