When yin and yang merge, the force begins to emerge and the soul becomes holy.

The original force absorbs the vital energy, and the yin force, yang force and vital energy are in perfect harmony, transforming and tempering the soul, only then can one enter the middle stage of manifestation of sainthood.

On this basis, the cultivator's own soul power is added to make these four forces coordinated as one, and then the soul is tempered with a new original force, which is the late stage of manifestation of the saint.

This is a practice that requires a deep understanding of various powers and a realization of the true meaning of the Divine Manifestation. It is very difficult and dangerous. If you are not careful, there will be a conflict of powers and backfire on yourself.

And today, Zhou Qing successfully integrated his soul power into the Force, creating a new perfect harmony.

The barrier from the middle to late stage of Manifestation of Sagehood was shattered at the touch of a finger. It did not cause any hindrance to him at all. It was a piece of cake.

Its aura continues to rise, full of momentum.

The light flows above the soul, and every minute and every second, the soul is undergoing new changes and is constantly transforming.

The confidentiality of a room on Hengyu's ship is impeccable, and no one outside can detect what's going on in the room.

But there is one exception, that is Shen Yuanning. She controls this war artifact and naturally knows everything here, but she usually ignores it.

But things like someone breaking through and the violent fluctuations in aura would still attract her attention, so it was natural that she noticed Zhou Qing's movements.

When Shen Yuanning found out that it was Zhou Qing who was breaking through the realm, he was stunned for a moment.

When you were on the grassland a few days ago, didn’t you just advance from the initial stage of marrow cleansing to the minor stage of marrow cleansing?

How come he has made a breakthrough in his soul and spirit and has been promoted to the late stage of the Manifestation Saint after only coming back for a few days? How come he has made such a breakthrough in both ways in such a short period of time...

Tell me yourself, is this reasonable?

Shen Yuanning carefully sensed Zhou Qing's aura, which was majestic, profound and solid. It was obvious that this breakthrough was achieved through his own hard work, and he did not practice any quick methods.

This is also the reason why Zhou Qing dared to make a breakthrough right under her nose.

As long as Zhou Qing didn't let Shen Yuanning and the others capture him and let him kill them personally, his current rapid breakthrough would not be associated with other things.

You ask why? Of course it’s talent.

No one would have thought that the reason he could make such a rapid breakthrough now was because of slaying demons and eliminating evil.

There are many practitioners killing enemies on the battlefield, and he is not the only one.

Who would have thought that he achieved this breakthrough?

Be careful or I will sue you for defamation! Based on his previous experience, as long as there are no obvious doubts, then is there a problem with him practicing faster and breaking through faster now?

No problem, it makes sense.

This is what Shen Yuanning thought. After being a little surprised, she could only sigh.

You are worthy of it, Zhou Qing.

After watching for a while and making sure that Zhou Qing wouldn't encounter any accidents, Shen Yuanning stopped observing and withdrew his attention.

In the final analysis, it is the realm of manifestation of holiness.

If the person who made the breakthrough was not Zhou Qing, she would not have even looked at it twice.

The four-in-one force tempered the soul over and over again. After a long time, the drastic changing aura finally stabilized, which meant that Zhou Qing's breakthrough was successfully completed.

After a little adjustment, Zhou Qing opened his eyes with a smile on his face.

"One step closer to the realm of Yin God..."

With only one step left, he could begin preparing to condense the embryonic form of the Yin Spirit.

[Heavenly Favor: Ninety-Nine]

This is the remaining heavenly favor of Zhou Qing, representing three months and nine days of hard work.

"Late stage of Manifestation of Sainthood, minor success in Marrow Cleansing..."

Zhou Qing fell into deep thought, wondering which path would be best for him to invest these ninety-nine celestial favors into.

No matter where these Heavenly Favors are used, they are not enough to support him to break through another realm today. However, it is now the last day of September, and there are almost three months left until the last three days of this year...

“Why not distribute it this way?”

Zhou Qing made a decision in his mind.

Then he invested thirty points of heavenly favor into the visualization method of the Great Thousand Immortal Tree, and another month's merits were accelerated to him.

Because of this war, Xuandu Temple took out a lot of treasures to encourage disciples. One of the treasures is of great direct help to the cultivation of souls, and Zhou Qing has already taken a fancy to it.

With thirty points of Heavenly Favor and that treasure, Zhou Qing was confident that he could cultivate his soul to the perfection of Manifestation of Sainthood in the next three months! Zhou Qing used all the remaining sixty-nine points of Heavenly Favor on the Ventilation Macaque Marrow Method.

His bone marrow was shaken and his body was tough, allowing him to take a solid step towards achieving perfection in marrow cleansing.

Zhou Qing had reached the minor stage of marrow cleansing seventeen days ago. Now with the help of these sixty-nine points of heaven's favor, he had achieved nearly three months of achievements in the minor stage of marrow cleansing.

In the remaining three months of this year, Zhou Qing would have no problem in advancing to the great success of marrow cleansing in martial arts.

Among the many rewards that Xuandu Temple offered for the war, since there were some that had direct effects on soul cultivation, martial arts were naturally no exception.

If these ninety-nine points of heavenly favor are distributed in this way, then by the end of this year, Zhou Qing will have achieved the perfection of the Manifestation Saint and the great success of the Marrow Cleansing, and can even strive for the ultimate Marrow Cleansing! It can be said to be an excellent distribution that can maximize his benefits.

For a moment, Zhou Qing was full of longing for the future and felt that things were getting better and better.

"Unfortunately, the cheat code for slaying demons and monsters is about to be refreshed. If it can be maintained forever..."

Zhou Qing sighed in his heart. So far, there has never been another golden finger that can provide such direct help to his realm.

What a pity.

After reviewing his greatly improved strength, Zhou Qing got off the Hengyu ship again.

It is already night, and it is the last minute to [slay demons and eliminate evil spirits], so he was so decisive in using up all his heavenly favors.

After all, if you don’t use it anymore, the cheat code will be refreshed.

He glanced at Tianmen Pass in the night. It was very quiet. The barbarians should not attack again tonight. This was a good thing. It gave him a quiet environment to wait for the golden finger to refresh.

In fact, the reason why Zhou Qing was very confident about his future progress in cultivation was also because of this war.

Even if he doesn't have to slay demons and monsters, the continuous bloody battles can still bring him more pressure and hardships, allowing him to practice much faster.

True gold comes out after repeated tempering.

In the following time, Zhou Qing did not go anywhere else, but stayed quietly in his own tent to practice and cultivate his mind.

It was not until twelve o'clock in the evening that the familiar message appeared again.

The cheat code has been updated!

[Get a cheat code refresh count and start refreshing]

【Last month's Goldfinger: Slaying Demons】

[Refreshing...]

【Refresh completed】

[This month’s golden finger: Be one with the Tao (talent)]

[Life Point: Nine]

[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]

His life points are still nine. His strength has improved greatly this month, but he has not made any major breakthroughs in realm, so the impact has all been on his life points.

“To be in harmony with the Tao?”

Zhou Qing pondered the term "golden finger" in his mind, and he could understand the meaning of this term.

But if it is a golden finger, it is hard to say.

However, talent-based cheat codes usually come with introductory information.

Sure enough, as Zhou Qing solidified his golden finger, new information immediately appeared.

[Talent. Oneness with the Tao: One who is oneness with the Tao, the unity of man and nature, the Tao follows nature, possesses extraordinary understanding, and with oneness, there is no difficulty, the Tao and martial arts are clear and unobstructed, practicing a hundred arts is like observing the lines on the palm of your hand, with the help of the Tao]

"Superb understanding?"

The introduction of this golden finger is not difficult to understand. Zhou Qing understood its function after reading it once.

This is a golden finger to increase your understanding.

I have to say, this type of cheat code is the first time Zhou Qing has refreshed it, which is quite rare.

Physical cultivation talent and soul cultivation talent are the root bones and qualifications, which are not equal to understanding. The first two are related to your cultivation speed and the speed of realm improvement. The latter...

To put it simply and incompletely, it is directly related to the efficiency of your comprehension and practice of various Taoist martial arts.

Having a high talent for cultivation and a strong aptitude does not necessarily mean that one’s comprehension is also high, and vice versa.

However, people with good physique generally have good understanding, and the former will still have a certain positive impact on the latter.

In the early and middle stages of cultivation, the role and importance of aptitude and physique are far greater than understanding.

Some people have a terrible talent for practicing, but their comprehension is extraordinary. However, they find it very difficult and slow to practice, and may not even make very far in practice.

But once they have passed the period when aptitude is most important, the role of understanding will become increasingly important.

There are many such examples in history. Some people are completely useless in terms of their physique, but their comprehension is at an unparalleled level. They are judged as useless in the beginning, but then they rise against the trend and become the latecomers.

Those with extraordinary comprehension can be said to be late-stage players.

But few people can make it to the later stages with their poor bones...

Zhou Qing's comprehension is actually not bad, and it is completely worthy of his talent. For example, the changes in the Force in the realm of sainthood are closely related to his comprehension.

It also looks like peerless Taoist magic, heavenly Taoist magic, heavenly martial arts, formations...

For Zhou Qing, this was a natural thing, but for other Xuan Du disciples who were practicing Tianwu or something like that, it would actually take a long time to get started.

The most crucial reason why Zhou Qing did not make deep attainments in martial arts in recent days was the issue of time. He had practiced for too short a time.

The task of improving his realm had already occupied the vast majority of his short cultivation career, and the cultivation of techniques naturally came second.

However, Zhou Qing thought about the cheat code he got this time and felt that it was quite useful.

Although this is a talent, it is something at the golden finger level and is beyond common sense.

The blessing and enhancement of understanding that [Being in Harmony with the Tao] brings is probably so great that it is unimaginable and cannot be compared with the understanding of normal creatures.

[Do you want to use your life points to extract the golden finger you once had? ]

So, when the question about the golden finger appeared, Zhou Qing decisively chose no.

If he could extract the [Demon Slayer] that just disappeared, then of course he would be willing to do so, but the possibility is too small.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

It is also very good for increasing comprehension and is also very helpful for Zhou Qing's practice. You can use it and there is no need to extract it.

All the information disappeared, and Zhou Qing felt that he had changed a little bit, as if...

Do you see the world more clearly? Or more intimately?

Zhou Qing thought back to the various Taoist techniques and martial arts he had learned. Some things he had not thought of before were suddenly understood and mastered by him. Many things he did not understand before were also understood directly.

"hiss……"

Zhou Qing took a deep breath. This effect was so powerful and immediate? Being in harmony with the Tao was like being assisted by the Tao.

Zhou Qing began to practice various Taoist martial arts with great interest to try out the ability of this golden finger and test its specific effects.

In the end, Zhou Qing could only give this golden finger a thumbs up.

The improvement to comprehension is so huge that it feels like practicing Taoism and martial arts is as easy as eating and drinking.

After only one night of trying those lower-level Taoist martial arts, Zhou Qing felt that he had completely understood them and reached perfection in his practice.

When he was comprehending and practicing the Heavenly Dao Arts and Heavenly Martial Arts, the effect was very obvious, and his speed of practice and comprehension was much faster than before.

What a great way to be in harmony with the Tao.

It is worthy of being called the golden finger, which means the level of understanding is at the plug-in level.

After a night of experimentation, Zhou Qing discovered that this golden finger was most helpful for Taoist martial arts that required pure comprehension.

For example, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Sutra, this martial art requires the comprehension of the way of swordsmanship and the way of formations, and then the combination of them, which completely requires some perception.

As for the three kowtows of the Supreme Star God, comprehension is important, but the absorption and condensation of star power is also important.

The increase in your perception can ensure that your practice goes smoothly, but if you want to actually reach a certain level, you still need to absorb star power and condense star spirit.

But martial arts like the Immortal-Slaying Sword Manual are different.

In addition, the battlefield environment is the most suitable for practicing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Sutra. Zhou Qing immediately listed the Sword Sutra as his primary martial art to practice this month.

"Junior brother?"

Zhuge Yingyue's voice was heard outside the tent.

"I am here."

Zhou Qing walked out and looked at Zhuge Yingyue.

"What's the matter, Senior Sister?"

"Elder Tong is looking for you. I just came back from his place, so I came to call you."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Zhou Qing walked to the left side of Xuandu Temple, secretly wondering why Elder Tong wanted to see him.

After entering another tent, Zhou Qing saw someone looking for him.

"Elder Tong."

Elder Tong nodded and said, "You are here. I called you here to tell you that your military achievements have been reported to you from above."

"If you need anything, you can exchange it with the sect."

"The war merits have been distributed?"

Zhou Qing was somewhat surprised as he had finally waited until today.

During the trip to the grassland, the favor of heaven was one kind of gain, the spoils obtained from the barbarian practitioners were another kind of gain, and the current military exploits were another kind of gain.

Every time Zhou Qing entered the grassland, he won three games.

Of course, when he and Mingkong teamed up to kill the barbarian masters in the grassland, the spoils were shared by the two of them.

Although Mingkong was the barbarian lord who had undergone three levels of true blood refinement at the beginning, he was very generous in giving the spatial spoils to Zhou Qing.

But later on, they killed too many masters and got too much spoils, so it was impossible for Zhou Qing to monopolize them all.

During the trip to the grassland, Zhou Qing obtained a lot of spoils, including divine weapons, real weapons, skills, divine pills, divine materials, and condensed and scattered treasures...

There were so many, even with his wealth, the gains were huge and greatly enriched his collection.

It’s just a pity that he didn’t get any Earth-Realm treasures. For him now, although those spoils are helpful, without the Earth-Realm treasures, it can’t be called an amazing gain.

Military merit is a temporary currency during wartime, which is different from the contribution, small merit, and big merit of Xuandu Temple.

The opportunity to gain military merit is only available when Xuandu Temple is involved in external wars. This is also the only time that one can exchange for treasures that Xuandu Temple specially takes out to motivate disciples because of the war.

It is the exclusive currency of the War Chest.

After the war is over, you can also choose to convert your military merits into Xuandu contributions or small merits, but it cannot be converted vice versa.

The treasures that Zhou Qing planned to exchange required military merits.

Elder Tong handed Zhou Qing a wooden token.

"This is a war merit order. It records all your war merits so far. It is bound to you, but don't lose it."

Zhou Qing took the military merit order, penetrated his mental power into it, and immediately obtained the information inside.

Level 5 Battle Merit: 3,000

Level 6 Battle Merit: 100

Seventh-level combat merit: Fifteenth -level combat merit corresponds to the Manifestation of the Holy Marrow Cleansing Realm, which means that this level of combat merit can be exchanged for the Manifestation of the Holy Marrow Cleansing Treasure.

The first level corresponds to visualizing the realm of flesh and skin, and so on.

It is only natural to grade military merits, otherwise it would be difficult to define their value.

However, as long as the number of lower-level military merits is sufficient, they can be exchanged for treasures corresponding to higher-level military merits. There is no strict limit, which gives more opportunities to those who participate in the war.

This military merit system is not only the rule of Xuandu Temple, but also the system used by the Da Qi army.

If an ordinary soldier in the Flesh Realm survives in repeated battles and makes repeated contributions, he will also have the opportunity to exchange for treasures in the Viscera Realm or even higher.

There would naturally be no problem in exchanging higher-level military merits for lower-level treasures.

"Three thousand, one hundred, ten."

Zhou Qing counted the number of his military achievements in his mind, with joy evident in his eyes.

The purchasing power of military merit is very strong.

For example, if the fifth-level war merit is a consumable item necessary for war, such as a pill to restore the true essence, a single-digit war merit can be exchanged! Others, those better pills, or ordinary Yuanwu soldiers, basically only need 10 to 20 points of war merit to exchange.

This shows the purchasing power of military merit.

Exchanging military merits for treasures is the human race’s reward to those who have made contributions. This is what they deserve and it is earned with their own lives.

So in this regard, the human race can be said to be making a loss in exchanging soldiers.

While the purchasing power of military merit is very strong, it also means that it is not easy to obtain military merit.

Three thousand points of level five combat merit and one hundred points of level six combat merit, this is definitely an excess reward for Zhou Qing.

The most important thing is the ten points of level 7 combat merit, which is equivalent to the Huangquan Chedi realm! It is extremely precious, and it is not something that Zhou Qing can get at this level.

Now that it was given to him, it could be seen that Shen Yuanning really counted the victory over the barbarian Earth Realm master who had killed Mingkong's guardian as well.

Such behavior is undoubtedly a great care for Zhou Qing, and the reward is very generous.

Without the care of the sect elders, such a thing would never have happened.

To be honest, Zhou Qing was very happy and grateful to Shen Yuanning.

Although there were some despicable and bad people in Xuandu Temple, he also truly felt the love and care of many elders.

Such care made him feel warm.

Ever since he entered Xuandu Temple, he has actually been deeply valued and cared for by Xuandu Temple. He has been given all kinds of benefits that far exceed those of other people, and this has been a great help to Zhou Qing.

This is indeed a place where people feel a sense of belonging.

Of course, Zhou Qing was also very grateful to Mingkong for this level seven combat achievement. Strictly speaking, he had taken advantage of her.

Although she doesn't know and probably doesn't care, it is indeed a favor.

Whether it is Xuandu Temple or Mingkong, he will never forget these things.
