Chapter 219: Four Divine Abilities Reach Perfection! Ji Qing Aims To Forge The Supreme Dharma Idol!
When a dense mass of Black Abyss Spirits surged towards Ji Qing, even he was greatly startled.
“So many?”
Ji Qing recalled Qian Mingri saying it was difficult to attract Black Abyss Spirits.
But what was this?
Why had so many Black Abyss Spirits come at once, simply by releasing the aura of a divine ability?
“Qian Mingri, what’s going on?”
Ji Qing turned his head to ask.
Even he could tell that this was somewhat abnormal.
Qian Mingri stammered, “Fellow Daoist Ji, no one has ever understood the preferences of Black Abyss Spirits. Perhaps your divine ability is greatly favored by them, which is why they have swarmed here.”
“However, even though the Black Abyss Spirits are attracted to you, whether you can get them to acknowledge you and willing to share their enlightenment depends on your own ability. I also attracted quite a few Black Abyss Spirits back then, but alas…”
Even now, Qian Mingri remained quite “stubborn.”
Yet, his words revealed a hint of “sourness.”
The exact reason why so many Black Abyss Spirits swarmed here was unclear to anyone at the moment.
But Ji Qing had a vague feeling that it might indeed be related to his divine ability.
So, Ji Qing took a deep breath and allowed the Black Abyss Spirits to approach.
“Buzz.”
In the next moment, Ji Qing was engulfed by a massive number of Black Abyss Spirits.
His figure was no longer visible.
Qian Mingri, standing nearby, was dumbfounded.
But he was also in the Divine Ability Realm now, and he had never seen so many Black Abyss Spirits before.
However, wasn’t this an opportunity?
Although he had created his own cultivation technique, he felt there were still areas that were not perfect.
Having so many Black Abyss Spirits was also a good thing for him.
After all, proximity breeds favor.
If even a little bit of their enlightenment was “leaked” to him, perhaps he too could be acknowledged by the Black Abyss Spirits.
Thus, Qian Mingri also unleashed his own divine ability aura, hoping to attract Black Abyss Spirits.
As Ji Qing was submerged by the Black Abyss Spirits.
Ji Qing discovered a shocking fact.
Every single Black Abyss Spirit was willing to share its enlightenment with him.
It was as if he could have anything he wished.
This was clearly not normal.
Ji Qing pondered carefully what the reason might be.
These Black Abyss Spirits were, in their past lives, mostly cultivators.
And not just cultivators from the Black Abyss; over the years, the Black Abyss had also attracted cultivators from the outside world to enter and perish within it.
They would offer some benefits to cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan, such as taking care of their descendants.
Consequently, over time, the number of Black Abyss Spirits accumulated in the Black Abyss had reached an extremely terrifying figure.
These Black Abyss Spirits had no consciousness.
All that remained was instinct.
Ji Qing immediately sorted them into categories, keeping only those Black Abyss Spirits above the Divine Ability Realm.
This immediately reduced their numbers by more than half.
The majority of these Black Abyss Spirits were actually cultivators below the Divine Ability Realm.
Ji Qing chose one Black Abyss Spirit.
This Black Abyss Spirit opened up its enlightenment.
Ji Qing immediately saw fragments of memories.
The memories were fragmented, but the enlightenment was not.
Ji Qing quickly saw the enlightenment of this Divine Ability Realm cultivator.
This was a Divine Ability Realm cultivator named “Wang Chen.”
He had been a young prodigy back then, but unfortunately, he was a rogue cultivator. He had only managed to nurture a superior Dao Fruit, which eventually evolved into a divine ability, and that was the end of his progress.
Due to the extreme preciousness of materials for the Dharma Aspect Realm, he was unable to gather the resources. In the end, he was heavily injured in a fight with some rogue cultivators. In exchange for the Black Abyss’s protection for his descendants, he came to the Black Abyss to perish and become a Black Abyss Spirit.
Although it was only a divine ability derived from a superior Dao Fruit, it was still quite distinctive.
It was called “Sword Qi Transformation into Silk.”
This was a Sword Dao divine ability, unmatched in its offensive power.
Its attack power was even close to that of a Peerless Supernatural.
However, precisely because of its extreme offensive power, it was a case of “extremes meeting.” He himself was very vulnerable.
Once surrounded and attacked, he would be overwhelmed and perish.
Wang Chen was surrounded and heavily injured by a group of rogue cultivators.
“Sword Qi Transformation into Silk… should be considered a Sword Dao divine ability. It could also barely be counted as a ‘Gold Attribute divine ability,’ and might have commonalities with the Great Five Elements Divine Light divine ability…”
Ji Qing meticulously contemplated the profound truths of the “Sword Qi Transformation into Silk” divine ability.
Normally, even for Black Abyss Spirits, enlightenment was not that easy.
But Ji Qing possessed an “Innate Dao Heart,” which made all the difference.
He comprehended the “Sword Qi Transformation into Silk” divine ability with extreme clarity.
“Great Five Elements Divine Light, progress increased by 1%.”
Suddenly, Ji Qing’s eyes brightened.
His Great Five Elements Divine Light finally showed signs of movement.
Previously, it had only been at the Beginner （1%） progress, but now it had increased by 1%, reaching 2% progress.
In other words, the enlightenment from a “Sword Qi Transformation into Silk” divine ability had caused Ji Qing’s Great Five Elements Divine Light to advance.
This was a good thing!
So, without creating one’s own cultivation technique, the progress of a divine ability could still be improved?
However, this improvement was too slow.
It was still necessary to create one’s own cultivation technique.
Nevertheless, during this enlightenment, Ji Qing also discovered some subtle details.
He finally understood why these Black Abyss Spirits had swarmed towards him in such numbers.
And why every Black Abyss Spirit was willing to freely share its enlightenment with him.
The reason was simple.
Martial Dao Origin!
They were attracted by the Martial Dao Origin within Ji Qing.
These Black Abyss Spirits were, in their past lives, martial artists.
After death, they were bound to the Black Abyss and became Black Abyss Spirits, retaining only their instincts.
And the Martial Dao Origin held an extremely strong attraction for these Black Abyss Spirits.
“So that’s how it is…”
Ji Qing understood.
He hadn’t expected the Martial Dao Origin to have such a function.
Relying on the Martial Dao Origin, Ji Qing attracted a large number of Black Abyss Spirits.
Ji Qing decided not to hesitate any longer; he would enlighten all these Black Abyss Spirits.
He would gain as much as he could.
As for whether he could create a method himself, that would depend on opportunity and fortune.
After all, it was a Legendary Supernatural Power.
It was truly different from ordinary divine abilities; creating a method was not that easy.
Thus, Ji Qing remained in the Black Abyss below the Tenth Layer.
One day, three days, five days, ten days…
Qian Mingri accompanied Ji Qing below the Tenth Layer of the Black Abyss the entire time.
And indeed, he gained benefits.
With so many Black Abyss Spirits around, Qian Mingri, by being in proximity, eventually gained the recognition of some Black Abyss Spirits and thus obtained the enlightenment of several divine abilities.
This allowed Qian Mingri to further perfect his own divine ability methods.
However, as time passed, Qian Mingri began to grow restless.
One month, three months, five months…
It had been nearly half a year, yet Ji Qing still showed no signs of “waking up.”
He remained submerged by a large number of Black Abyss Spirits.
Even Qian Mingri could not see clearly what was happening inside.
Qian Mingri even found a Great Expert from the Black Abyss to investigate.
However, even they could not ascertain Ji Qing’s situation.
If Ji Qing’s Life Tablet in the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory had not remained intact, Qian Mingri would have suspected that Ji Qing had met with an accident.
If an accident had occurred, the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory would not have let him off.
His good intentions would have led to bad consequences.
“Don’t worry about me, and don’t wait here for me. Also, inform the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory that I am doing well here, and that creating a divine ability method will likely take a long time.”
Suddenly, Ji Qing sent a Communication Talisman to Qian Mingri.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, are you alright?”
Qian Mingri shivered all over.
Ji Qing had finally “awakened.”
“I am fine. Do as I say. I will be staying below the Tenth Layer of the Black Abyss for a very long time…”
“Alright, I will definitely do as Fellow Daoist Ji says.”
Qian Mingri also began to understand.
This was a great thing.
Ji Qing staying below the Tenth Layer of the Black Abyss for a long time.
Years, or perhaps a decade, or even several decades.
Being able to stay for such a long time indicated that Ji Qing had gained immense benefits.
He was highly likely to create a Divine Ability Realm cultivation technique by using the Black Abyss Spirits.
Time flew by.
In the first year, Qian Mingri spent more than half of his time below the Tenth Layer.
In the second year, Qian Mingri visited below the Tenth Layer only about a dozen times a month.
In the third year, Qian Mingri visited two or three times a month.
In the fourth year, Qian Mingri visited once a month.
In the fifth year, Qian Mingri went into seclusion.
He had “benefited” from Ji Qing’s presence and, below the Tenth Layer of the Black Abyss, perfected his Divine Ability Realm cultivation technique with the help of Black Abyss Spirits.
Then, he quickly reached Perfection.
Now, he was preparing to Forge a Dharma Aspect.
For other cultivators, the resources for forging a Dharma Aspect had to be earned through great hardship.
But Qian Mingri did not need to.
He was the Young Master of the Black Abyss.
With the vast Black Abyss, it was not a problem to supply him with the resources for forging a Dharma Aspect.
Therefore, from the fifth year onwards, Qian Mingri never visited below the Tenth Layer of the Black Abyss again.
He was in seclusion forging his Dharma Aspect.
Time slipped by.
The sixth year, seventh year, eighth year, ninth year…
“Whoosh.”
A figure arrived below the Tenth Layer of the Black Abyss.
“Ten years… I’ve already forged my Dharma Aspect and broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm, and Ji Qing still hasn’t created a Divine Ability Realm method?”
The person who arrived was none other than the former Young Master of the Black Abyss, Qian Mingri.
Qian Mingri’s aura at this moment far surpassed the Divine Ability Realm, clearly indicating he had already broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Moreover, Ji Qing had contributed to his rapid breakthrough to the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Yet, after a full ten years, Ji Qing still had not “woken up.”
“A Legendary Supernatural Power, is it really that difficult to create a method?”
Qian Mingri shook his head and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears.
“Fellow Daoist Qian, you’ve actually advanced to the Dharma Aspect Realm?”
Qian Mingri’s heart leaped with joy, and he turned back.
Indeed, countless Black Abyss Spirits had dispersed, revealing a familiar figure within.
Ji Qing had awakened!
“Fellow Daoist Ji, I had already accumulated enough, and my family also prepared Dharma Aspect Materials for me, so I decided to breakthrough in one go.”
“As for you, Fellow Daoist Ji, this has been equivalent to ten years of seclusion. Have you gained any rewards?”
Qian Mingri asked.
“Harvest? Of course there was!”
Ji Qing showed a smile on his face.
Not only was there a harvest, but it was a great harvest!
“Fellow Daoist Qian, this time Ji owes you a favor.”
Ji Qing said in a deep voice.
He had indeed gained a great advantage this time.
He couldn’t pretend to know nothing.
Once the Black Abyss Spirit shared its enlightenment, it would actually dissipate.
Therefore, in these ten years, Ji Qing didn’t know how many Black Abyss Spirits he had consumed, which might be equivalent to many years of accumulation in the Black Abyss.
Ji Qing gained a great advantage.
That’s why he said he owed Qian Mingri a favor.
Qian Mingri was very happy.
This showed that Ji Qing had finally accepted him.
Barely a friend.
“Fellow Daoist, this is a small matter, as long as it helps your cultivation.”
“Do you need a cultivation secret chamber now?”
Ji Qing shook his head and said, “I have been away from the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory for ten years. It’s time to go back and take a look. This time I will trouble the Black Abyss and you, Fellow Daoist. Goodbye.”
“Alright, I will escort Fellow Daoist Ji.”
Thus, Qian Mingri escorted Ji Qing out of the Black Abyss.
Afterward, Ji Qing traversed space and disappeared without a trace.
“Ten years of enlightenment in the Black Abyss… I wonder what kind of method he has created?”
Qian Mingri looked at the disappearing figure of Ji Qing and murmured softly.
“Young Master, the great Lord of the Black Abyss summons you. It seems to be about Ji Qing’s matters below the tenth level of the Black Abyss…”
“Alright, I’ll go immediately.”
Qian Mingri immediately returned to the Black Abyss.
…
Purgatory Realm, Spirit Fusion Lineage, Ninth Peak!
Ji Qing had returned.
“Swish, swish, swish.”
Shen Jun Bao Yue, Yun Meng Shen, Can Xiu Venerable, and others were all pleasantly surprised to see Ji Qing.
“Ji Qing, you’re back?”
“Yes, this time the delay was a bit longer.”
Ji Qing had previously asked Qian Mingri to inform the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, so Shen Jun Bao Yue and others knew that Ji Qing had gone to the Black Abyss.
“It’s good that you’re back. Fellow Daoist Bai Xi often comes to look for you.”
Ji Qing nodded and immediately sent a communication talisman to Bai Xi, informing her that he had safely returned to the Ninth Peak.
After all, it was Bai Xi who brought Ji Qing to the Immortal Seeking Tower, and later met Qian Mingri at the Immortal Seeking Tower.
If Ji Qing had really gotten into trouble, Bai Xi would not have been able to escape responsibility.
“Ji Qing, come to my cave dwelling.”
Ji Qing heard the voice of the Lineage Master in his ears.
He immediately left the Ninth Peak and went to the Lineage Master’s cave dwelling.
“Greetings, Lineage Master.”
Ji Qing bowed respectfully.
“You stayed in the Black Abyss for ten years, did you gain anything?”
The Lineage Master asked.
“Yes, and the harvest was great.”
Ji Qing then recounted the matter of the “Black Abyss Spirits.”
From the Black Abyss Spirits, Ji Qing even comprehended four Supernatural Power Realm Cultivation Techniques.
Ji Qing consumed an unknown number of years of accumulation in the Black Abyss.
For this, Ji Qing also owed Qian Mingri a favor.
The Lineage Master remained impassive, but his heart was stirred by a storm.
Good heavens, he also knew about the Black Abyss Spirits. Judging from Ji Qing’s words, he must have consumed at least hundreds or thousands of Black Abyss Spirits?
Truly… eye-opening.
The Lineage Master also had some understanding of the Black Abyss Spirits.
According to his understanding, it was not only difficult to attract Black Abyss Spirits, but even more difficult to make them recognize a cultivator.
For an ordinary Supernatural Power Realm cultivator, obtaining recognition from ten Black Abyss Spirits and their enlightenment would already be very good.
But Ji Qing?
He actually consumed hundreds or thousands of Black Abyss Spirits, which was truly… unbelievable.
The Lineage Master could already imagine how frantic the old guys in the Black Abyss would be if they knew Ji Qing alone had depleted the Black Abyss Spirits accumulated over several generations.
“You brat, you’ve hit the jackpot. Even Qian Mingri probably doesn’t know what hundreds or thousands of Black Abyss Spirits truly mean…”
“However, since you’ve comprehended four supernatural power methods, that is your fortune. Alright, now that you have the methods, go and cultivate well.”
Ji Qing nodded and immediately got up to leave the Lineage Master’s cave dwelling.
The Lineage Master looked at Ji Qing’s receding back with a strange expression on his face.
“With Ji Qing’s cultivation speed, he will likely need to forge a Dharma Aspect soon, which is troublesome. He is a Legendary Supernatural Power, and once he forges a Dharma Aspect, how many resources will it consume?”
“Never mind, we can’t let people look down on the Spirit Fusion Lineage. The resources that should be prepared for Ji Qing must be prepared properly…”
The Lineage Master immediately stood up.
He went to discuss with the “Great Experts” of the Spirit Fusion Lineage.
Ji Qing returned to the Ninth Peak and immediately went into his cave dwelling.
“The method for the Great Five Elements Divine Light Supernatural Power has been created and is currently at the beginner stage. I will directly use Origin Points to raise it to perfection!”
The reason Ji Qing did not improve it in the Black Abyss was also to avoid causing too great a phenomenon and being detected by the Lord of the Black Abyss.
After all, the Lord of the Black Abyss enveloped the entire Black Abyss.
If there was any movement within the Black Abyss, the Lord of the Black Abyss would definitely notice.
Ji Qing was very wary of the mysterious Lord of the Black Abyss.
“Buzz.”
Origin Points were rapidly consumed.
For a martial art or secret technique at the Supernatural Power Realm level, each upgrade required consuming thirty million Origin Points.
This was a terrifying number.
But Ji Qing had long been fully prepared.
There were enough Origin Points!
Therefore, as Ji Qing consumed thirty million Origin Points.
Images of him cultivating the Great Five Elements Divine Light year after year appeared in Ji Qing’s mind.
From beginner to minor accomplishment, then major accomplishment, and finally perfection.
With the perfection of the Great Five Elements Divine Light, Ji Qing’s supernatural power might became even more earth-shattering.
With a sweep of the Great Five Elements Divine Light.
Even the treasures of Great Experts could not be hidden.
Ji Qing immediately checked the status of the Great Five Elements Divine Light.
“Great Five Elements Divine Light: Perfection.”
Indeed, the Great Five Elements Divine Light had reached perfection.
This also meant that Ji Qing’s cultivation had leaped from the early stage of the Supernatural Power Realm directly to perfection.
Of course, this was just the beginning.
Ji Qing had “self-created” four Supernatural Power Realm methods from the enlightenment of the Black Abyss Spirits.
They were very compatible with his own four Legendary Supernatural Powers.
Thus, Ji Qing continued to use Origin Points to improve the other three supernatural powers.
Soon, the other three supernatural powers were also rapidly improving.
Annihilation of Ten Thousand Laws Supernatural Power: Perfection
Sky Burning Purple Flame: Perfection
Eight part Heavenly Dragons Supernatural Power: Perfection
After the Eight part Heavenly Dragons Supernatural Power also reached perfection, all four of Ji Qing’s Legendary Supernatural Powers were perfected.
And the perfection of the four Legendary Supernatural Powers consumed a total of one hundred and twenty million Origin Points for Ji Qing.
This was truly a terrifying number.
However, it was worth it!
Four Legendary Supernatural Powers perfected.
“With the supernatural powers perfected, the next step is the Dharma Aspect Realm. To step into the Dharma Aspect Realm, one must first decide what kind of Dharma Aspect to forge. Only by determining the type of Dharma Aspect to forge can one collect the resources for the Dharma Aspect, forge it, and successfully break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm!”
“And Dharma Aspects are often an extension of supernatural powers… whatever supernatural powers one has, so will be their Dharma Aspect.”
Ji Qing had deeply understood both the Supernatural Power Realm and the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Although supernatural powers and Dharma Aspects were two realms, they could also be considered one realm.
Because they both revolved around supernatural powers.
A Dharma Aspect is an extension of supernatural power, or rather, the Dharma Aspect forged by a cultivator is actually to bear the might of supernatural powers and to maximize their effectiveness.
It could even amplify the might of supernatural powers!
Perhaps several times, perhaps ten times, or even dozens of times.
Therefore, a good Dharma Aspect was also very important.
Whether a Dharma Aspect is good or not mainly depends on its amplification of supernatural powers.
Ordinary Dharma Aspects provide an amplification of one to ten times.
Superior Dharma Aspects provide an amplification of ten to twenty times.
Top-tier Dharma Aspects provide an amplification of twenty to thirty times.
Supreme Dharma Aspects provide an amplification of fifty times or more.
As long as a cultivator can forge a Superior Dharma Aspect, the amplification will be at least tenfold.
This amplification was truly terrifying.
No wonder Dharma Aspect cultivators could sweep aside Supernatural Power Realm cultivators.
The gap in combat power was immense.
It was precisely because of the terrifying amplification of supernatural powers by Dharma Aspects.
Many cultivators, if their nurtured supernatural powers were not strong enough, had a chance to compensate in the Dharma Aspect Realm.
This was why, although in the Supernatural Power Realm everyone had Superior or Peerless Supernatural Powers, there was a huge difference in strength once they became Dharma Aspect cultivators.
The reason lay in the strength of the forged Dharma Aspect.
Once a Dharma Aspect is forged, it is fixed and cannot be further enhanced.
Therefore, the quality of the Dharma Aspect to be forged was extremely crucial.
Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to forge an ordinary Dharma Aspect.
Generally, they aimed for Superior Dharma Aspects.
Of course, if one’s supernatural powers were very strong and they forged a top-tier Dharma Aspect.
Then it would be a case of the strong getting stronger!
The gap in strength would become increasingly exaggerated.
Wang Lin’s “Sea of Blood Flames” Dharma Aspect back then, one of the ten great Dharma Aspects of the Heavenly Fire Emperor Sect, was a top-tier Dharma Aspect.
Wang Feng’s Heavenly Fire Tyrant Body was also actually a top-tier Dharma Aspect.
Both provided an amplification of over twenty times.
As for Supreme Dharma Aspects.
Many top forces in the Black Ruins had Supreme Dharma Aspect legacies.
But legacy was legacy.
The cultivators who could ultimately forge Supreme Dharma Aspects were almost as rare as phoenix feathers.
Dharma Aspects could be referenced from fixed Dharma Aspect legacies.
Or one could explore and forge a Dharma Aspect based on their own supernatural powers.
Of course, the second method was better.
It offered infinite possibilities.
But it was too difficult.
And the Dharma Aspects explored on one’s own were not necessarily of high quality, with many uncertainties.
As for the first method, cultivating a fixed Dharma Aspect had high certainty, but it was not as compatible with one’s own supernatural powers. Moreover, once cultivated, the upper limit was fixed.
Both methods of forging Dharma Aspects had their pros and cons.
It was hard to say which was better.
For example, if Ji Qing were to forge a Supreme Dharma Aspect, what else could he say?
He would directly forge a Supreme Dharma Aspect.
Directly forging the Supreme Dharma Idol.
No need to figure it out yourself.
But if one doesn’t have a Supreme Dharma Aspect, or has one, but it’s not suitable for them.
Then self-exploration is naturally better.
“Let’s go ask the Merit Transmission Elder first.”
Ji Qing immediately got up and headed to the Merit Transmission Hall.
Soon, Ji Qing arrived at the Merit Transmission Hall.
He still remembered that the Merit Transmission Elder back then was Tianjizi Elder.
However, each Merit Transmission Elder only needs to serve for ten years, so the current Merit Transmission Elder is no longer Tianjizi Elder, but Elder Mo Qianyu.
“Disciple Ji Qing greets Elder Mo.”
Ji Qing arrived at the Merit Transmission Hall, saw Elder Mo Qianyu in a black robe, and immediately bowed respectfully.
“Oh, you are Ji Qing?”
Elder Mo Qianyu was somewhat moved.
He was a Great Expert who had recently returned to the Purgatory Realm from the outside.
He knew that the Spirit Fusion Lineage had produced a terrifying Heavenly Talent, but unfortunately, he had never had the chance to meet him.
Now he finally met Ji Qing.
Upon seeing him, Elder Mo Qianyu even had a faint, special feeling.
“What a terrifying Physical Body…”
Mo Qianyu only felt Ji Qing’s terrifying Physical Body, which seemed no less than that of an ordinary Great Expert.
It was truly incredible.
But since Ji Qing could kill Great Experts, his cultivation was just a bit lower, yet his Strength was no different from a Great Expert.
Therefore, Elder Mo Qianyu smiled and said, “Ji Qing, are you here at the Merit Transmission Hall because you have questions about cultivation?”
“Elder Mo, this disciple wants to ask about ‘Dharma Aspect’. May I ask, Elder, how many types of Supreme Dharma Aspects does our Spirit Fusion Lineage, or the entire Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, have?”
Ji Qing directly stated his reason.
He directly inquired about Supreme Dharma Aspects.
“Supreme Dharma Aspects?”
Mo Qianyu smiled.
“Our Spirit Fusion Lineage only has one Supreme Dharma Aspect, and in the entire Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, only the Jie Mie Lineage and Reincarnation Lineage have Supreme Dharma Aspects. This is the Foundation of the Upper Three Meridians. The remaining ten meridians, at most, have Top-tier Dharma Aspects.”
“The Supreme Dharma Aspect of our Spirit Fusion Lineage is called ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’, the Supreme Dharma Aspect of the Reincarnation Lineage is called ‘Reincarnation Heavenly Domain’, and the Supreme Dharma Aspect of the Jie Mie Lineage is called ‘Jie Mie Hegemonic Body’.”
“Among them, once our Spirit Fusion Lineage’s ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’ is forged, the basic amplification of more than fifty times is a given. Its characteristic is that it can turn any Power into its own use, making its Strength infinite in battle, never stopping. As long as the opponent’s Strength does not exceed the upper limit that ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’ can bear, the Dharma Aspect of ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’ will never collapse.”
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
Supreme Dharma Aspects were too powerful.
Just the “Myriad Fusion Meridian” of the Spirit Fusion Lineage made Ji Qing extremely tempted.
What need was there to create his own Dharma Aspect?
Wasn’t this Myriad Fusion Meridian fragrant enough?
The key was that Ji Qing felt “Myriad Fusion Meridian” was very compatible with his “Annihilation of Ten Thousand Laws Supernatural Power”.
By forging “Myriad Fusion Meridian” with “Annihilation of Ten Thousand Laws Supernatural Power”, once successful, it could amplify the Annihilation of Ten Thousand Laws Supernatural Power by more than fifty times, annihilate all enemy Power and turn it into his own use, thus possessing infinite Strength and even becoming stronger with each battle.
It was simply too fitting.
Next were “Reincarnation Heavenly Domain” and “Jie Mie Hegemonic Body”.
Although Ji Qing also coveted these two Supreme Dharma Aspects.
He compared them with his other three Divine Abilities.
They simply didn’t match any of his Divine Abilities.
Forcibly cultivating them would likely lead to failure.
In any case, the forging of a Dharma Aspect was based on Divine Abilities.
If the Dharma Aspect did not match the Divine Ability, then one could not forcibly forge it, otherwise, the disadvantages would outweigh the benefits.
“This disciple wishes to cultivate ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’, please bestow it upon me, Elder!”
Ji Qing immediately decided to cultivate the Supreme Dharma Aspect “Myriad Fusion Meridian”.
“Are you sure?”
“This disciple is sure.”
Looking at Ji Qing, Mo Qianyu sighed and slowly said, “Ji Qing, do you know why, over the years, so few people in the Black Ruins have succeeded in forging Supreme Dharma Aspects?”
“I do not know.”
“Actually, it’s very simple, limited by Resources. A long time ago, the strongest Dharma Aspects of cultivators in the Black Ruins were Top-tier Dharma Aspects, which could amplify Divine Abilities by twenty to thirty times, and that was the limit. But one day, ‘Restricted Areas’ appeared in the Black Ruins. Where these ‘Restricted Areas’ came from, no one knows; they seemed to appear out of nowhere.”
“The ‘Restricted Areas’ are extremely dangerous, but they contain great Terror. Even Supreme Experts cannot completely eliminate the ‘Restricted Areas’; they can only limit their expansion. From time to time, terrifying disasters erupt from the ‘Restricted Areas’, sweeping across the entire Black Ruins. Therefore, facing the threat of the ‘Restricted Areas’, our Human Race cultivators must also join forces with the Demon Country, otherwise, facing the ‘Restricted Areas’ is a dead end.”
“And although the ‘Restricted Areas’ are dangerous, they are also Opportunities. By forging Dharma Aspects with certain Materials from within the ‘Restricted Areas’, one can forge Supreme Dharma Aspects! As for those ‘Restricted Areas’, Great Experts cannot enter, and only those below the Great Expert realm can enter. However, even in ‘Restricted Areas’ that Great Experts cannot enter, there are Terrors comparable to Great Experts. Many cultivators in the Dharma Aspect Realm who venture into the ‘Restricted Areas’ ultimately perish.”
“Ji Qing, with your Legendary Supernatural Power, even forging a Top-tier Dharma Aspect with an amplification of twenty to thirty times would be extremely terrifying, allowing you to sweep through the Black Ruins with almost no rivals. Why would you risk entering the ‘Restricted Areas’ to search for Materials for a Supreme Dharma Aspect? Therefore, I suggest you forge a Top-tier Dharma Aspect.”
Ji Qing understood.
To forge a Supreme Dharma Aspect, one had to venture deep into the “Restricted Areas” to search for Materials.
And certain “Restricted Areas” were inaccessible to Great Experts.
Only those below the Great Expert realm could enter.
But the “Restricted Areas” were extremely dangerous, containing Terrors comparable to Great Experts. For those below the Great Expert realm, wasn’t that just being crushed?
The mortality rate for cultivators below the Great Expert realm entering the “Restricted Areas” was astonishingly high.
If one were to forge a Top-tier Dharma Aspect, there wouldn’t be this problem.
The amplification of a Top-tier Dharma Aspect was also considerable.
It ranged from twenty to thirty times.
But Ji Qing felt a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
The gap between a Supreme Dharma Aspect and a Top-tier Dharma Aspect was too vast.
The strongest Top-tier Dharma Aspect had at most a thirty-fold amplification.
But what about a Supreme Dharma Aspect?
Fifty times or more!
Fifty times was just the base.
It was possible for sixty times, seventy times, eighty times, or even a hundred times amplification.
Ji Qing had four Legendary Supernatural Powers, and the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory had three Supreme Dharma Aspects.
The other two Supreme Dharma Aspects were not suitable for his Divine Abilities.
Only “Myriad Fusion Meridian” was suitable for his “Annihilation of Ten Thousand Laws Supernatural Power”.
Therefore, no matter what, Ji Qing wanted to give it a try.
Moreover, Ji Qing also had an advantage.
On the surface, he was only a cultivator in the Divine Ability Realm, but his Physical Body was a Second Stage Giant Spirit Race Physical Body, which alone could rival a Great Expert.
If his four Legendary Supernatural Powers were added, his Strength would be even greater.
It was not impossible for him to venture into those “Restricted Areas”!
“This disciple has decided to try cultivating the Supreme Dharma Aspect ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’ no matter what. Please guide me, Elder Mo.”
“Alright, I will tell you what to pay attention to when forging a Dharma Aspect…”
Mo Qianyu was a Merit Transmission Elder, and since Ji Qing was determined to forge a Supreme Dharma Aspect, he had to cultivate “Myriad Fusion Meridian”, so Elder Mo Qianyu could only fulfill Ji Qing’s request.
He instructed Ji Qing on the common knowledge and precautions for forging Dharma Aspects.
He also informed him about the various Materials needed for “Myriad Fusion Meridian” that had to be obtained from within the “Restricted Areas”.
They could only be found in the “Restricted Areas”.
As for other secondary Materials, the Spirit Fusion Lineage had them, and Ji Qing could redeem them with Merit Points later.
“Thank you, Elder Mo.”
Ji Qing bowed respectfully and then left the Merit Transmission Hall, returning to Ninth Peak.
“Myriad Fusion Meridian: Beginner”.
Ji Qing had already obtained the cultivation method for the Supreme Dharma Aspect “Myriad Fusion Meridian”.
He had even received guidance from the Merit Transmission Elder.
It was a pity that without the key Materials, he could not even begin.
Only when the Materials were sufficient and the Dharma Aspect was forged could one “enter the beginner stage”.
Moreover, once a Dharma Aspect “entered the beginner stage”, it was essentially Perfection.
This realm had no subdivisions like Minor Accomplishment or Perfection.
Therefore, the requirement for “Origin Points” was not high.
But the requirement for Resources was very high.
Simply put, the Dharma Aspect Realm was just a continuation of the Divine Ability Realm.
“Whoosh.”
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared outside Ji Qing’s Cave Dwelling.
“Lineage Master?”
Ji Qing hurriedly welcomed the Lineage Master into his Cave Dwelling.
“Lineage Master, why have you come?”
Ji Qing asked.
The Lineage Master would not casually come to find him.
The Lineage Master looked deeply at Ji Qing, then asked, “Have you decided to forge the Supreme Dharma Aspect ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’?”
“Yes.”
It seemed the Lineage Master had heard the news from Elder Mo Qianyu.
Ji Qing was not an ordinary cultivator in the Divine Ability Realm.
The Lineage Master was always paying attention to Ji Qing, which was quite normal.
“Since you have decided, I will not say much more. As for the key Materials needed for ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’, I am powerless. The Spirit Fusion Lineage can only provide you with Resources for a Top-tier Dharma Aspect.”
“Keep all these Resources well; they are enough for you to forge ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’ three times. As long as you can obtain the key Materials for ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’, you don’t need to worry about the auxiliary Materials. Although our Spirit Fusion Lineage cannot compare to Black Abyss fully supplying one of its Young Masters, providing you with Resources for a Top-tier Dharma Aspect is more than sufficient.”
The Lineage Master waved his hand.
A large amount of Dharma Aspect Materials appeared in the Cave Dwelling.
These were enough Materials to forge a Top-tier Dharma Aspect three times.
This already exceeded the general “help” that a Core Disciple of the Spirit Fusion Lineage would receive.
Clearly, this was private sponsorship from the Lineage Master or other Great Experts.
“Thank you, Lineage Master.”
Ji Qing did not refuse and directly accepted so many Resources.
Furthermore, Ji Qing had previously obtained two broken Dharma Aspect Fragments.
Now, Ji Qing did not lack Materials for forging a Dharma Aspect Realm.
But at most, it was for a Top-tier Dharma Aspect.
For a Supreme Dharma Aspect, he still had to make a trip to the Restricted Area.
“May I ask, Lineage Master, in which Restricted Area might there be Materials needed for ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’?”
Ji Qing asked.
He was determined to forge a Supreme Dharma Aspect.
“As far as I know, to forge the Dharma Aspect of ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’, you should go to the ‘Bronze Lamp Restricted Area’. There might be Materials for ‘Myriad Fusion Meridian’ inside, but it’s only a possibility, not a guarantee.”
“The Bronze Lamp Restricted Area?”
Ji Qing pondered.
“The Bronze Lamp Restricted Area is extremely dangerous, with a high mortality rate. However, the Resources inside are truly abundant, especially for forging Dharma Aspects. By the way, Wang Lin and Wang Feng, whom you killed, had jointly entered the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area back then and obtained Materials for the Top-tier Dharma Aspect Realm, which allowed them to forge Top-tier Dharma Aspects.”
Ji Qing understood.
For ordinary cultivators, even Core level cultivators, they had to accumulate Resources for the Top-tier Dharma Aspect Realm themselves.
They had to risk their lives.
For Core Disciples like Bai Xi, providing Resources for an advanced Dharma Aspect was already good.
To forge a Top-tier Dharma Aspect?
They had to find a way themselves.
Even Wang Lin and Wang Feng were no exception.
Of course, Qian Mingri was different.
Qian Mingri was the Young Master of Black Abyss, born with the Fortune of Black Abyss. All the Resources of Black Abyss were supplied to him alone. Let alone one set of Top-tier Dharma Aspect Realm Resources, even ten sets would be insignificant.
But even for Qian Mingri, Black Abyss could not provide Resources for a Supreme Dharma Aspect.
To forge a Supreme Dharma Aspect?
One still had to risk their life in the Restricted Area.
In fact, there was also a “shortcut” to forging Dharma Aspects.
That was to kill Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators and plunder their Dharma Aspect Materials.
But which cultivator in the Divine Ability Realm could fight against the Dharma Aspect Realm?
The tenfold or twentyfold amplification of a Dharma Aspect was not to be trifled with.
It was only Ji Qing.
In the entire Black Ruins, cultivators who could fight against the Dharma Aspect Realm in the Divine Ability Realm were truly rare.
Ji Qing could have avoided risking his life in the Restricted Area.
But he aimed higher.
He wanted to forge a Supreme Dharma Aspect.
Moreover, Ji Qing also felt confident.
His spiritual imprint was now integrated into the Black Ruins, making him immortal.
How dangerous could the Restricted Area be?
It couldn’t pose much of a threat to him.
Therefore, Ji Qing was determined to forge a Supreme Dharma Idol!
“Lineage Master, this disciple has decided to go to the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area.”
Ji Qing stated his decision.
“Good.”
“However, wait a moment before you go to the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area. Let’s set a period of one month. Many Divine Ability Realm cultivators from the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory want to enter the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area, so you can escort them. The other twelve meridians will owe you a favor, which will be beneficial.”
Ji Qing nodded.
After all, the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory were one entity.
Moreover, everyone knew he possessed the combat power of a Great Expert.
It would undoubtedly be safer for him to escort the other Divine Ability Realm cultivators of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
In the future, when Ji Qing needed the other twelve meridians, they would lend him their full support.
This was simply a matter of doing a favor.
Thus, Ji Qing quietly waited on Ninth Peak.
As the Rong Shen First Meridian Master sent a communication talisman to the other twelve meridians, announcing Ji Qing’s imminent departure to the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area, the other twelve meridians were stirred into a commotion.
Many Great Experts also had descendants or disciples.
Many of them were in the Divine Ability Realm and were troubled by forging their Dharma Aspects.
With only the resources from their respective meridians, how much could they acquire?
Especially for Superior Dharma Aspects and Top-tier Dharma Aspects, the resource requirements were immense.
Often, they could only rely on the Divine Ability Realm cultivators themselves to accumulate them.
But the restricted areas were too dangerous.
Many Divine Ability Realm cultivators did not dare to make the decision to venture into the restricted areas.
However, with Ji Qing leading the way, it was different.
Ji Qing possessed the combat power of a Great Expert.
Once Ji Qing led the team, the safety would definitely be greatly improved.
Of course, everyone knew that Ji Qing was merely escorting them.
He was not acting as their guard.
But even if Ji Qing gave them a short escort, it would be enough.
Or, if they encountered danger in the restricted area, they could send a communication talisman to Ji Qing.
That would also be a safety guarantee.
Therefore, many Divine Ability Realm cultivators from the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory tried every means to travel to the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area with Ji Qing.
The Rong Shen First Meridian Master also received favors from various Great Experts.
None of them could be easily refused.
However, it didn’t matter; the goal was to make these Great Experts owe him favors.
There would be times when he would need them.
Moreover, too many people would not be feasible.
A total of 130 people were confirmed for the list.
Each meridian could send at most ten Divine Ability Realm cultivators.
These ten Divine Ability Realm spots for each meridian would depend on the methods of the Divine Ability Realm cultivators.
Time flew by, and a month passed.
“Swoosh.”
The Rong Shen First Meridian Master, along with 130 Divine Ability Realm cultivators, arrived at Ninth Peak.
“Greetings, Great Esteemed One!”
All 130 Divine Ability Realm cultivators actually bowed deeply to Ji Qing.
They treated him as a “Great Expert.”
Come to think of it, since Ji Qing could even slay Great Experts, treating him as a Great Expert seemed quite normal.
This was good; there would be no troublemakers.
“Ji Qing, the Great Experts from each meridian have discussed it. Upon entering the Bronze Lamp, you will escort them for three days. The Great Experts from each meridian will owe you a favor. After three days, you can search for resources on your own. If you encounter any disciples in distress, you may decide whether to save them.”
The Rong Shen First Meridian Master sent a communication talisman to Ji Qing.
This was the result of discussions and compromises among the Great Experts of each meridian.
“Three days? This disciple understands.”
Ji Qing nodded.
As a disciple of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, there were indeed some things he could not refuse.
However, it was only for three days.
Moreover, the Great Experts from each meridian owed him a favor.
Ji Qing’s gaze swept across the 130 individuals.
He noticed some acquaintances among them.
“Depart!”
Ji Qing waved his hand and released a Flying Boat.
This Flying Boat was provided by the Thunderclap Meridian, it could travel through space at extreme speed and could also accommodate a large number of cultivators.
The 130 Divine Ability Realm cultivators quickly boarded the Flying Boat.
“Swoosh.”
Ji Qing piloted the Flying Boat, rapidly flying out of the Purgatory Realm, and directly traversing space towards the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area.
Soon, the Flying Boat emerged from space.
Ji Qing could already see the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area.
Outside the restricted area, there were surprisingly many cultivators.
Almost without exception, they were all Divine Ability Realm cultivators, clearly intending to enter the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area to “take a gamble” and try their luck.
Upon seeing such a massive Flying Boat, many cultivators’ eyes turned cold.
“Hmph, I wonder which powerful force’s disciple has arrived at the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area. They’ve come to risk their lives in the restricted area, yet they make such a grand show.”
“Hush, speak softer. It has the emblem of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory on it. It must be a disciple of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory. Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
“So what if they’re from the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory? Even if they’re a top-tier force, they still have to risk their lives in the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area. What’s the difference between them and us? Outside, they are disciples of high and mighty top-tier forces, but once they reach the Bronze Lamp Restricted Area, it’s every man for himself.”
“We cultivators who toil hard may not necessarily be inferior to these disciples of top-tier forces. Especially when reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm, if we are lucky enough to obtain Top-tier Dharma Aspect Materials, then we might just soar to the heavens and crush these disciples of great forces.”
These rogue cultivators or cultivators from small forces harbored a degree of hostility towards disciples of great forces.
This was normal in the Black Ruins.
After all, great forces monopolized a lot of resources.
It was no wonder rogue cultivators or cultivators from small forces were dissatisfied.
“Swoosh.”
A figure flew out of the Flying Boat.
Upon seeing this figure, the rogue cultivators or cultivators from small forces, who had been discussing animatedly moments before, instantly froze, and a tempestuous wave surged within their hearts.
That figure was simply too familiar.
Even as rogue cultivators, they knew who that figure was.
“How can it be him?”
The void outside the restricted area seemed to fall silent all at once.
A person’s reputation precedes them.
As a Martial God, he killed Great Experts!
With four Divine Abilities, he suppressed all in the Black Ruins!
Even in the Immortal Seeking Tower, he sent two Black Abyss Great Experts flying with a single palm strike!
Ji Qing of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory!
He merely stood in the void, not saying a word, and the surroundings immediately became deathly quiet.
This was deterrence!
