Chapter 261 – Explosion

Zhong Yue was speechless, he thought, This girl is used to sitting in a wheelchair. Well, it’s fine anyway. Even more, sitting in a wheelchair might just deceive her opponents to think that she can’t stand, but no one would know that her mortal body is in fact, stronger than most people.

Some of the Qi Practitioners were used to traveling in carriages, some preferred ships, some beasts, while a few enjoyed flying themselves. So, it was not absurd for Qiu Jin’er to travel in the wheelchair, as long as it did not slow down her flying speed. Even better, she might be able to deceive her opponents and catch them by surprise in battle.

She had cultivated Zhong Yue’s 【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】 which was a physique-refining art he had derived from the sun and moon, and an abstruse art.

Qiu Jin’er’s body was weak and fragile, even weaker than most of her peers, but as she cultivated the 【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, her mortal body had slowly improved and was strengthened to the point where she stood now, even stronger than most human Qi Practitioners!

However, despite being an innate spirit body, her achievements in terms of body physique were still weaker than the other celestial races and demon races as she was a human. This was the reason why she was injured by ‘Shui Qingyan’ in their previous duel and broke her legs.

But now, with the immense life force and life energy of this secret realm, in addition to the 【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, her mortal body were strengthened to an incredible state!

The biggest forte of being an innate spirit body holder was that her innate spirit was practically equivalent to a godly spirit, allowing her to increase her cultivation base without much hindrance.

Of course, she would still be weaker than Zhong Yue in terms of body-physique, the reason being that he had the sun and moon twin spirits, and that he was the creator of the 【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】, his attainments in that particular body-physique art were unmatchable.

The same would apply to Zhong Yue if he intended to catch up to her in terms of wood-style techniques, it would be nearly impossible.

The two of them started cultivating the 【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】 while absorbing the life force and life energy from the sun and moon, nourishing their mortal bodies and Yuan Shen.

Life force could stimulate the bloodline in the mortal body, augmenting the blood essence and strengthen the mortal body to be stronger and more vibrant. While life energy could fill the mortal body with full vitality, with a strong life force, the mortal body would also not be destroyed so easily.

The life energy had little effect in strengthening the body physique, but it was very useful for Atman Body experts in coalescing their Yuan Shen and mortal body together into the two hundred-foot tall celestial being. It could also allow the mortal body to regenerate faster, even achieving some skills that one could not have completed before!

A very good example was Zhong Yue’s 【Monster God Ming King Art】. The skills contained in this art would usually need eight arms, he only had two. And so, when casting the skill, Zhong Yue would usually visualize the eight-armed Ming King, forming another six arms with the totem patterns.

As these additional six arms were not flesh and meat, they would become a weak point in his 【Monster God Ming King Art】, as they would be weaker than the true flesh and bone arms, whether it was in terms of attacking power or defensive strength.

If the life force in his mortal body was strong enough, he could grow six true flesh and bone arms from his body and augment them with the Ming King’s totem patterns, They would then be beyond the powers and strengths of merely visualized arms.

In addition to the vibrant life force that could strengthen the bones and muscles, and augment the grown arms’ strengths and toughness, his prowess would increase greatly when he cast the 【Monster God Ming King Art】 again!

And if his control was strong enough, he could retrieve the life force and life energy in the six arms back into his body when he dispersed the 【Monster God Ming King Art】, not wasting any of the precious life force and life energy.

When he grew another six flesh and blood arms, he would really be like a Monster God Ming King. When he dispersed the six arms, he would be back in the form of a human!

Of course, with his current life force and life energy in his body, there was still a long way to go for him to reach such a state. After all, it was true that humans were weaker than the other races in terms of body physique. It wasn’t something that could be changed so easily, it was still an arduous journey for him to surpass the other races.

However, absorbing this Kui Long Celestial Race magnate’s life force and life energy for his own use had allowed him to catch a glimpse of hope.

If I can fully absorb Yu Zheng’s leftover life force and life energy in this secret realm, I can then surely do it!, Zhong Yue thought to himself.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er continued refining the life force and life energy into their bodies and Yuan Shen. They could clearly feel their mortal bodies getting stronger with more blood essence, and their Yuan Shen getting more vibrant.

Zhong Yue could even feel that there was blood essence slowly burgeoning in his Yuan Shen, augmenting it even more!

Such an improvement could not only strengthen his mortal body and Yuan Shen, but could also make his skills and visualized totem patterns stronger and tougher!

Using the Jiao Dragons in the 【Soaring Dragon Hundred Forms】, if his life force and life energy was strong enough, his Yuan Shen could use it to form true flesh and blood bodies for the Jiao Dragons, granting them appalling powers!

If it was the 【Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Art】, he could make a flesh and blood body for the legendary beast Xuan Wu, giving it an impregnable defensive capability!

However, the life force and life energy he had were not strong enough to achieve such a state yet, and this was just a direction for cultivation.

Visualize the dragons and form the real dragons; visualize the phoenix and get the real phoenix — how strong would he be if he could visualize anything and make it come to existence?

That might just be the forte of the whole Immortal Body thing!

Zhong Yue was envious of Yu Zheng’s Immortal Body. Just by absorbing the leftover life force and life energy of the dead celestial magnate, he could clearly perceive the purpose of the Immortal Body already.

If I can get my hands on the Yu Zheng’s cultivation technique of the Immortal Body and cultivate it, then my prowess will be at a whole new level!

After many weeks, the sun and moon had shrunken down greatly after the duo had absorbed a huge portion of it. Soon, their mortal bodies and Yuan Shen were at their limit, they couldn’t take in any more life force and life energy.

This was the flaw when one didn’t have an Immortal Body cultivation technique. If one didn’t know how to cultivate the Immortal Body, the mortal body and Yuan Shen could only retain a limited amount of life force and life energy, and were not able to take in any more.

“Junior martial sister, you and I will store as much life force and life energy in our Yuan Shen secret realms. The moment I break this secret realm, this sun and moon will also crumble along with it, ceasing to exist anymore.”

Rays flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes, he whispered to her, “The secret realm will start to collapse. Right as we are out of the secret realm. I need you to refine this Kui Long magnate’s secret realm right away, we mustn’t leave anything behind for Shui Qingyan. As long as we are the first to act and we are fast enough, Shui Qingyan will never get any benefits from it!”

Qiu Jin’er was shocked, she whispered back, “Senior martial brother, it seems like you have a very deep prejudice against Junior Martial Sister Shui?”

“It’s all because Shui Qingyan is the Tian Myriad Mother!” Zhong Yue hesitated for a while, he said, “You are the Wood Innate Spirit Body and I’m the Sun Innate Spirit Body, that’s why our cultivation speed is so quick that we can cultivate to the level of Atman Body in just two years. But she isn’t any innate spirit body, and she could only cultivate to this level because she is the Tian Myriad Mother”

“Junior Martial Sister Shui is Tian Myriad Mother?” Qiu Jin’er was shocked, her face turned solemn and said, “No wonder my spirit was rejecting her presence around me…”

Her spirit was the spirit of the Wood Celestial Star, an innate godly celestial spirit, long-standing rivals to the demon race. Her spirit could sense the presence of the evil demonic spirit, rejecting the demonic air of the demon god in Shui Qingyan.

Qiu Jin’er had dueled with ‘Shui Qingyan’, and ‘Shui Qingyan’ has also fought with her once, all because of the long-standing rivalry between the celestials and demons.

The two of them extracted the life force and life energy in the sun and moon into their Yuan Shen secret realms. All of a sudden, they noticed a weird development when the life force and life energy entered their Shen Cai Secret Realms; a bright moon and a dazzling sun slowly appeared. The scene was utterly bizarre.

As more life energy and life force entered, the sun and moon slowly grew bigger, denser, and brighter!

The Shen Cai Realm is the place where the life force and life energy begets in the Yuan Shen’s body, only with the life force and life energy can the myriads of lifeforms thrive. Maybe the Shen Cai Secret Realm can store more life force and life energy.

Soon, Zhong Yue realized that he had underestimated Yu Zheng. Even with the duo filling their Shen Cai Secret Realm to the brim with the life force and life energy, and even filling the other secret realms, the sun and moon in Yu Zheng’s secret realm had only shrunken down by a few hundred feet.

This magnate’s life force and life energy were too strong, just exactly how did the ancestors of Swords Gate take him down and seal this magnate away?

Zhong Yue was shocked. From the start until now, they had only absorbed ten percent of the sun and moon, or maybe, it wasn’t even ten percent of it!

“Junior martial sister, I’ll break this secret realm now. Remember to refine this Yu Zheng’s secret realm and keep it away!”

Zhong Yue looked down at ‘Shui Qingyan’, the young woman was down in the mountains, standing beside the river refining and absorbing it; he then conducted his voice to Qiu Jin’er and said, “Ready…”

All of a sudden, he cast out the golden feathery Peng sword and thrust it up through the firmament!

The golden feathery Peng sword was enlarged to thousands of feet long, Chi—— It pierced through the firmament without the secret realm repelling its power; Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er immediately moved and flew out through the rift that was created high on the firmament.

“Junior martial sister, quickly!”

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er alighted, a skeleton hundreds of feet tall stood in front of them, its back to them. It was covered in a leather cloak covered with dragon scales. There weren’t any horns on its head and it had only one leg. The whole skeleton appeared to be incredibly bizarre, while suffusing the surroundings with the unique aura of a celestial race, and a heavy and thick air!

Behind it, there were five light wheels shimmering with dazzling light rays, and one of the light wheels had a crack — it was the one that had dragged them into the secret realm!

It was the Wan Xiang Secret Realm, as Zhong Yue has created a rift in the secret realm, it was now crumbling away.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er immediately moved, projecting out their psyches and shrouding the other four light wheels. At the same time, Xin Huo’s voice suddenly rang out in Zhong Yue’s head. He sounded very anxious as he said hurriedly, “Brat Yue, take that cloak! The totem patterns on it contain the art of the Immortal Body!”

Without thinking much, Zhong Yue reached out his hand and grabbed onto the cowhide on Yu Zheng’s body!

Right at this moment, the Wan Xiang Wheel was crumbling away, an incredibly strong aura burst out and the dimensional space started to collapse, ‘Shui Qingyan’ leapt out and escaped from the crumbling secret realm. Without any hesitation, she didn’t stop for even for a single second to take the other four realms, and instead, ran straight out!

Zhong Yue’s face changed drastically. He reached out his hand and grabbed Qiu Jin’er around her waist, pulling the leather cloak with his other hand as he shouted, “Stop!”

Krong!…

The secret realm crumbled, and an explosion of unearthly strong aura filled the whole copper palace. It felt like a magnate cultivator had launched out a finishing move, shaking the copper palace constantly!

Before Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er were able to make their way out, they were swallowed by the explosion from the secret realm!
