"That’s impossible!"
The Mysterious Heaven Ceremony was shocked, coughing up blood; even its lungs were hollowed out, yet its voice was clear, because it had begun to absorb the free Spiritual Fiends without Demonic Qi in the Realm of Nonexistence, initially converting them into Inner Breath: "To refine Inner Breath, you must consu the energy in your flesh to refine the Spiritual Fiend in the heavens and earth. Essentially, it’s using a bowl of mud, drying and refining it, shaping it into a larger bowl to contain more Spiritual Fiend, and then slowly slting the Spiritual Fiend into new material to make larger and larger bowls step by step..."
"But the first step needs nourishing! Conversion consus energy; once the bowl is made but there’s no water inside, it’s ultimately just an empty shell, even less useful than the initial lump of mud—a robust mortal body. Without Spirit Food and Elixir for nourishnt, expending energy to refine Inner Breath instead makes it easy for mortals with Martial Arts to defeat!"
Saying this, while watching the rising blood-colored Qi Force around An Jing, the Mysterious Heaven Ceremony’s voice lowered, even though it was speaking reasonable words.
Indeed... with its wisdom, how could it not see or understand this?
An Jing... simply hadn’t refined Inner Breath at all.
He roughly and crudely wrapped the blood Qi of his flesh with very wild ans, manipulating and operating it with the nature’s spiritual energy.
Whether Immortal Martial Arts or Inner Breath Realm, the flesh’s power is like mud and stone, difficult and obscure to use, while the Soul and Spirit’s power is like water vapor, agile but hard to interfere with the physical.
Only when body and soul are harmonious, when heart and mind are united, can mud and stone water vapor be turned into mud slurry, at least moist clay, ready to be manipulated for the subsequent shaping, expanding the body’s limit.
Shaping requires energy, and after shaping, the nature’s spiritual energy, whether leaning towards the ’water’ Xuan Ying Qi or the ’mud and stone’ evil forces of nature, must be integrated into one’s form, bit by bit, converting these heaven and earth powers into usable parts, a process that still demands more energy, akin to grinding stone into powder or refining water vapor into gel for use.
But this process undoubtedly requires massive energy and consumption; even if the Realm of Nonexistence lacks Demonic Qi, everyone can freely take from it. Yet once Inner Breath refining begins, a vulnerable period erges—’obtained Inner Breath less than consud power’—this weakness exists in both Immortal Martial Arts, giving rise to schools and sects.
But An Jing is different.
He simply, coarsely mingled the Spiritual Fiend of heaven and earth, those sturdy and untouchable mud and stone, into his blood Qi slurry, then molded it into a hard ice mud stone sphere, directly wrapped in Heaven and Earth Power, smashing it over!
Inefficient, crude, inferior, sacrificing greatly, cutting off future paths—even a fool knows An Jing’s current actions, if applied to a true novice, might have led to Deviation and death long ago, and purifying his Soul and Spirit or subsequent Martial Vein Foundation Establishnt would be impossible, completely severing the True Person path!
This [Qi], lacks the intricacy of Inner Breath, the reliability of Inner Breath, is not easy to grasp, hard to learn and excel with low limits, even reducing lifespan.
But so what?
These are matters for future optimization.
Creating from nothing, how could one demand perfection from the start—now, does An Jing not possess power surpassing it, surpassing everyone within the Realm of Nonexistence?!
Boom!
In the next mont, the Mysterious Heaven Ceremony, filled with both frustration and admiration, was slamd into the ground by An Jing, its head shattering, body crumbling, erupting a burst of blood.
No doubt, the Mysterious Heaven Ceremony is a genius in application, reversing the Five Emperor Technique, creating from nothing, inventing the Emperor Demon Path, assimilating all.
Its talent is undoubtedly top-tier in the world, but ultimately, being inherently knowledgeable in Immortal Martial Dao, it can create from one to two, but creating from zero to one is truly beyond its expertise, perhaps even outside its understanding.
"There’s nothing impossible."
After accomplishing all this, An Jing clapped his hands as if sweeping away dust, shaking his head: "The Huai Xu Realm truly has excellent conditions, with Spiritual Fiend naturally existing between heaven and earth, originating from the substance’s core, able to mobilize everything in the material world, ultimately reverting to Tai Shi Yuan Evil, Tai Chu Yuanqi, Tai Yi Primordial Spirit, which is the foundational push of creation, the basis of Harmonization."
"If it were my previous life, pondering for half a day, at most extracting a sliver of blood Qi from my body, relying only on eating and drinking for nourishnt; where was the support from Heaven and Earth Power? Conversely, if I could extract blood Qi in my previous life, it suggests the path of transcendence can be pursued. My old ho wasn’t an utterly Spirit-less world?"
Thinking of this, An Jing couldn’t help but laugh, nostalgically raising his head to look at the flowing clouds surging across the heavenly do: "Back then, I ran out of ti, my body weakened, couldn’t proceed further, but if it were my fellow disciples, the disciples of my fellow disciples, all future successors... perhaps they could truly craft sothing notable!"
With those words, he simply turned, walking towards the dazed Xuan Mingyu standing by.
No, it wasn’t exactly dazed.
As he got closer, An Jing noticed Xuan Mingyu’s whole body beginning to manifest fluctuating Qi Force, wriggling like a living entity under his clothes, yet far inferior to An Jing’s easy explosive external Qi Force.
But nevertheless, even if rely imitating, Xuan Mingyu had indeed learned [Qi].
Xuan Mingyu didn’t pay attention to An Jing’s approach, fixating on the transparent stream in his hand, speaking with a profoundly complex tone: "Using the most fundantal, primitive ’Blood Fiend’ as the base, linking to the Soul and Spirit, operating a Complete Circuit, then wrapping the spiritual fiend of heaven and earth... though originating from the sa source as Immortal Martial Dao, it has beco an entirely different path!"
Blood Fiend, the refined Spiritual Fiend from human operational energy, due to its material property, resembles mud and stone, hence terd ’fiend.’ Unpolished in operation, transforming other entities into oneself, hence classified as ’fire,’ while its basis is the foundational rit of material, also belonging to ’earth stone,’ just as the Supre Divine Venerable Wa Huang of the Dao Courtyard said, humans are born of earth stone, molded by the burning of fire.
"This path, unlike Immortal Martial, is based on Blood Fiend, an inner-out slting, ultimately interfering with external matter, transforming dust into one’s body, Refining Qi into Steel... Next is pursuing the Qi Sect’s ’Body Separation,’ or perhaps the Body Sect’s ’Divine Demon Body,’ both extrely straightforward!"
Nearly obsessed, at this mont, Xuan Mingyu truly exhibited his Nature Master’s talent, clearly discerning An Jing’s design philosophy, thus expressing astonishnt: "Too crude, too simplistic, yet the future is equally grand!"
"Because it’s simple, fundantal, it can fully bridge the two paths of Immortal Martial, even connect more systems—An Jing, to you, do these transcendent systems, Dao paths, fundantally hold no distinction?"
"I suppose so."
An Jing ca to stand in front of Xuan Mingyu, his shadow entirely enveloping him; the martial artist spoke calmly: "Fundantally, this [Qi], after saturating the body inside and out, must extend outward, controlling external objects, making them part of oneself, at its core it’s ’the distinction between self and object,’ with no separation from the Immortal Martial Dao path..."
"You can cultivate the soul, influence spiritual fiends, obtain Divine Skills, or cultivate Art of Magic, utilizing external talismans, then refining them into the body."
"You can also refine the body, with forged strength, inner and outer forces, affecting Outer Path."
"At the end of the day, all transcendent systems, the internal logic, the essence of all cultivation thods, in this universe of spiritual fiends, is just so."
