Chapter 43: An unexpected competition begins, the flowers condense...
At first, the process of condensing the flowers was not smooth. There were always various errors, and it always failed at some point. But Xu Hui did not get discouraged and tried again and again.
This is extremely demanding of patience and requires full concentration.
What Xu Hui lacks the least is concentration. She does it over and over again, and starts over again if she makes a mistake!
Finally, after thousands of times of tempering, the first flower took shape!
The premonition of building the foundation could no longer be suppressed. Once it was released, spiritual energy poured in and instantly filled the eight extraordinary meridians and the small and large circulations.
The spiritual energy rushed through the meridians, like a sharp blade cutting through the fragile veins, accompanied by piercing pain.
Suddenly, sweat poured down like rain, soaking through his clothes. Xu Hui clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and used his consciousness to separate the spiritual power and circulate it separately in the small and large circulations.
Thanks to the first stage of practicing the "Soul Art", his spiritual consciousness was strong, so this operation was completed almost instantly, preventing the spiritual power from being too overbearing and directly breaking the tendons and veins.
After the spiritual power calmed down, it washed over every inch of flesh and bones over and over again. This time it was still painful, but it was within a controllable range and there was no need to worry about getting hurt.
During the flushing process, the spiritual power attracted to her body was not enough, so she took out the "Palace Jade Wine" to replenish and continue to warm the meridians.
It was indeed a good wine. It expanded her meridians more than twice, allowing her to accommodate more spiritual power.
The flushing speed increases, and as time goes by, impurities are discharged little by little, the body becomes more and more clear, and the soul is sublimated, as if it has become another new life, essentially different from ordinary people.
Is this truly the path to immortality? It feels so wonderful!
Xu Hui felt the changes in her body and soul and was extremely satisfied. She began to take the next steps to gather her spiritual power into her dantian and condense it into a warm and powerful source of strength.
This power finally solidified after gathering and was stored in the Dantian spiritual sea. It was like a rising sun. Although weak, it contained infinite vitality and potential.
Foundation building successful! Xu Hui slowly opened her eyes, her eyes gleaming with joy.
Now, her strength is several times greater than before. Not only can her spells be cast instantly, but the power of the "Qiankun Sword Art" has also been enhanced, and it can be used more than thirty times before it becomes effective.
In this way, she can try to practice the second move. Once she masters it, her safety will be more guaranteed.
The second move is a killing move, an undercurrent hidden beneath the calm. It is launched silently and can penetrate the human body in an instant.
If the first move is the wind, then the second move is concealment.
Before the opponent has time to notice, the sword move has already defeated the opponent.
The secret is not only speed, but also quietness, so quiet that there is no sound, and the environment does not change at all, just like the natural and harmonious nature of heaven and earth.
And every time he strikes, he must kill, hitting the vital point directly, without a moment's hesitation.
If this move succeeds, the result will be death. Therefore, it is very difficult to practice, especially for someone with Xu Hui's temperament.
Killing is not an easy thing, and it is even more impossible to do it without any psychological burden like killing animals.
But she can choose not to use it, but she cannot learn it!
In any case, this is a way to save her life, more reliable than the sword techniques given by outsiders, so she must learn it.
But there is no need to rush. She has just established her foundation and although her realm is stable, there is no need to be so impatient for quick success.
It just so happens that the Tianjiao Competition has reached a critical moment, and those who go on stage are all the chosen ones. She can observe and learn more, and will definitely have more insights.
After coming out of customs, the first thing I did was to inquire about the situation. Today was the competition for the top 1,000, so I rushed over immediately.
The ring match is divided into groups of ten. All of them go on stage and only one person can win. The battle ends.
A prodigy like Wei Mubai would certainly be the focus of the siege by the other nine people. Sure enough, when she arrived, on the No. 55 ring, Wei Mubai was fighting against nine people alone, and the fight was so fierce that it was dark!
Who among those who can make it into the top 1,000 is not a brilliant person?
If it were an ordinary person, nine people fighting against one person, launching an attack at the same time, it would be like the collapse of the sky and the earth, and the probability of winning would be less than one in ten thousand.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena was extremely tense. The nine people joined forces and launched an attack like a tide. Each blow contained enough power to shake the mountains, as if to tear the heaven and earth apart.
However, in this violent attack, Wei Mubai stood firm like a rock, his eyes calm and deep, as if he could see through all illusions.
With a clear whistle, Wei Mubai swung the sword in his hand suddenly. The sword light was like a dragon, cutting through the sky, instantly breaking the attacks of the nine people one by one.
The sword light seemed to contain the chaotic power of the beginning of the world, which made everyone present feel unprecedented shock.
Immediately afterwards, another sword was struck, and the three people flew away where the sword pointed. Their figures drew arcs in the air, and finally fell powerlessly outside the ring, losing all their fighting power.
This scene left all the audience dumbfounded, and they marveled at Wei Mubai's extraordinary sword skills.
"Sword intent! He actually comprehended the sword intent!" someone exclaimed, his voice full of disbelief.
You must know that sword intent is the realm that sword practitioners dream of. Those who can comprehend sword intent are all the best in the way of swordsmanship.
And Wei Mubai, a genius famous for his alchemy, is also so talented in swordsmanship. How can this not amaze people?
The power of this sword is comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul cultivator. No wonder those Golden Core cultivators don't even have the strength to fight.
Is this the strength of a genius from an aristocratic family?
Looking at Mu Yuan, Lei Xiao and others, well, they are indeed strong enough to create a power gap with other Jindan stage cultivators!
Is this still the Jindan stage? He can fight against the Yuanying stage without being at a disadvantage, right?
Everyone was shocked and even felt confused. Compared with these geniuses, they were simply weak.
No wonder he had the confidence to advance directly to the finals without going through the previous competitions. This was not determined by his identity, but by his strength!
In one encounter, Wei Mubai knocked down three of them. The remaining six people raised their vigilance to the highest level. Facing his sword moves, they avoided them whenever possible and used all their means.
Wei Mubai remained calm and composed. He swung out his third sword, and suddenly the sky and the earth changed color. The sword light was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, penetrating the clouds and illuminating the entire arena space.
This sword not only contained profound sword skills, but also seemed to borrow the power of heaven and earth. Wherever the tip of the sword pointed, the space was distorted.
"Sword Intent: The Sky Splits!" Wei Mubai murmured, and the sword's power surged. The sword light turned into a brilliant galaxy, pouring down from the sky, sweeping towards the remaining six people with unstoppable force.
Their attacking techniques were also swept back along the same path.
Upon seeing this, the six people's faces suddenly changed, and each of them used their best skills to try to withstand this devastating blow.
However, under the sword's will, all things are ants.
The six people's attack seemed so pale and powerless in front of the sword light. After hearing a few "bang bang bang" sounds, they were like fallen leaves blown away by the wind, and fell heavily to the edge of the ring, unable to move.
On the ring, the dust settled. Wei Mubai put away his sword and stood there, surrounded by sword energy. He looked like a sword immortal descending to the earth, invincible.
There wasn't a trace of pride or arrogance in his eyes, only absolute confidence in his own strength, so calm that it sparkled.
Xu Hui's eyes sparkled with an extraordinary radiance. This was the power to break all barriers. In the face of absolute strength, any resistance would be useless!
Wei Mubai's image in her eyes suddenly became taller and more awe-inspiring, like the Five Mountains.
I knew he was powerful before, but seeing him in person still made my heart beat fast.
My cheeks turned red with excitement!
Ahhhh!
She wanted to shout like a fan, "Brother is so handsome! Brother, kill me!"
But the people in the audience were not in as good a mood as she was, and there was an uproar.
He was shocked by the power of Wei Mubai's sword, and even more shocked by his talent and strength.
He began to re-examine the gap between himself and these geniuses from aristocratic families, and felt unspeakable fear and shock in his heart.
At the same time, they looked at the arenas of other geniuses. Coincidentally, Mu Yuan, Lei Xiao and others all displayed astonishing strength and dominance!
Wei Mubai scanned the other arenas and found, not surprisingly, that they had also finished their fight. He nodded calmly and walked down the arena step by step.
Coming to Xu Hui, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Not bad, your realm is stable, you can relax a little and don't rush."
"I know," Xu Hui understood his good intentions and pointed to the ring at the edge and asked, "What's going on?"
It's no wonder she was so surprised. The fighting in other arenas was earth-shattering and exciting. Even someone like Wei Mubai, who could defeat the enemy with just a few moves and kill them instantly, showed off his powerful strength, which made the world change color.
Only the last arena was completely silent. Everyone was standing there motionless, like corpses, with distorted and weird faces.
"That's the six supernatural powers of Buddhism." Wei Mubai knew she didn't understand, so he explained, "The six supernatural powers are one of the realms of Buddhist practice. Once mastered, one can transcend nature and attain immortality. The first five supernatural powers, divine sight, divine hearing, divine mind reading, divine destiny reading, and divine movement, are collectively known as the supernatural powers of seeing and being. You can correspond them one by one with the state of mind and perception of the foundation building and golden elixir. They are basically the same, except for the different methods of casting the spells. The sixth supernatural power, the power of extinction, is a realm that only saints can achieve. It eliminates all troubles and karma, forever leaves the cycle of life and death, and achieves true liberation and freedom."
"Is it ascension?" Xu Hui asked.
Wei Mubai shook his head, "Strictly speaking, it's an earthly immortal!"
The difference between ascension and earthly immortality is that ascension requires leaving this world and heading to a higher dimensional world to pursue a higher realm.
The earthly immortals did not leave. They were the strongest on the surface of this world and were immortal. Unlike other cultivators, they were a completely different kind of life form.
There is no good or bad between the two, they are just different paths to the same destination. After being an earthly immortal for a long time, one may have an epiphany and directly reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian.
The cultivators who want to ascend to heaven still have to cultivate step by step. Who knows who will be faster and stronger!
These are two completely different methods of cultivation, the difference between self-cultivation and mind-cultivation.
"That person is a Buddhist disciple. He has cultivated the supernatural power of seeing things at the age of twenty. At this moment, he is pulling people into the sea of their hearts, helping them to see their inner demons and face them."
"His method of cultivation is to help others overcome their inner demons?" Xu Hui understood a little, but was even more horrified. "According to what you said, doesn't that mean he has a cultivation level comparable to that of a Mahayana or Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator?"
