Chapter 130: A World That Took the Wrong Path!
The scripture I obtained is not complete, or rather, to be precise, the text passed down by the Yellow Heaven Dao is incomplete.
"It's just the basic Qi Refining chapter. The more profound content later on isn't recorded at all. And what about divine abilities? Since that classic has a magic power cultivation incantation, it must also have divine abilities attached to it."
Zhang Chen carefully pondered the Qi Refining incantation and finally noticed something was wrong.
"I must obtain the complete version of the Yellow Heaven Dao's Golden Book. Only by obtaining the complete version can I cultivate to a higher realm."
Zhang Chen pondered the Qi Refining incantation, then added points to upgrade again, directly adding all the points.
For him, wasn't it a waste to not add the points and let them gather dust?
[7 Skills (Entry): Qi Refining Third Heaven (0/4000)]
[Points: 2562]
"Can I only add up to the Third Heaven of Qi Refining?" Zhang Chen felt the increase in magic power within the lotus, a pensive look appearing in his eyes.
"I wonder how long the magic power of the Third Heaven of Qi Refining can sustain the skills."
Zhang Chen hid in bed, pondering the wonderful uses of the cultivated magic power.
The magic power of the Third Heaven of Qi Refining isn't much. Apart from using it to activate skills, it doesn't seem to have any other uses.
But Zhang Chen knew that as magic power flowed slowly through his body, he felt like he was somewhat different, but he couldn't say exactly where the difference lay.
"I wonder if using magic power to activate skills will cause amplification or blessing?" A look of contemplation appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.
The next moment, he activated the Water Control Technique.
Originally, when he activated the Water Control Technique, he could only control all the moisture within fifty meters, but after being blessed by the Dragon Pearl, he could control all the water flow within a hundred meters.
Now that he had entered the Third Heaven of Qi Refining and circulated magic power to bless it, he found that the distance of his Water Control Technique was increasing, increasing by a full three-tenths.
An increase of thirty meters!
"That is to say, for every breakthrough I make in the Qi Refining incantation, I can amplify it by one-tenth? The Twelfth Heaven of Qi Refining, that means my skills can be amplified by one hundred and twenty percent?" Zhang Chen was stunned by his own conjecture. This amplification was definitely a bit heaven-defying.
Especially his Light of the True God. If it were amplified by one hundred and twenty percent, wouldn't evil beings of the same level be completely suppressed by him?
Zhang Chen's eyes lit up: "I feel like I'm lacking a powerful offensive divine ability right now."
Zhang Chen put his hands in his sleeves and looked up at the night sky: "Although the number of points required to upgrade the Qi Refining Technique is very high, the future potential is huge, right? If I raise the skill level and then use magic power to amplify it, that's the real use of magic power. Moreover, regarding the Great Dao of Qi Refiners, I always feel like it's not that simple; there must be other mysteries within."
Zhang Chen carefully studied the scriptures. Although the scriptures in front of him were only the Qi Refining chapter and didn't have a cultivation chapter on the Yang God system, Zhang Chen could still secretly comprehend many things.
After all, his golden finger is unreasonable. Once it's upgraded, it's a comprehensive upgrade.
He not only understood the cultivation methods of the Qi Refining chapter, but even the methods regarding the soul were automatically completed by his own golden finger at this time.
"There are no points to add for upgrading, but I can also actively cultivate myself, but I don't know how effective my cultivation will be."
Zhang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes full of thought.
After all, the ancients didn't have golden fingers to bless them.
So Zhang Chen directly entered a meditative state and began to circulate the cultivation methods. As he circulated the cultivation incantation, a wisp of golden light in his lower dantian combined with a trace of his soul power, transforming into countless inexplicable runes, turning into magic power, and flowing within the Azure Lotus in the ancestral aperture of his brow.
Time passed slowly until a trace of fatigue came, and Zhang Chen stopped cultivating, a look of contemplation appearing in his eyes.
"I now know that the path of this world is probably deviated."
Zhang Chen comprehended his cultivation experience and had a trace of conjecture in his heart.
"In fact, the so-called Great Dao of Qi Refining already includes the cultivation methods of the divine soul. The difference between the two is probably the Great Dao of Heavenly Immortals and the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals, but if you say that the Great Dao of Heavenly Immortals can really completely suppress the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals, it's really hard to say!"
"The cultivators of this world have abandoned the Qi Refining incantation and are completely following the Great Dao of the Divine Soul, which is the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals. The achievements of the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals are limited, but if you say the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals is weak? It's not necessarily so; it still depends on the cultivator's realm."
"However, only cultivating the divine soul and not refining Qi definitely has flaws I don't know about," Zhang Chen speculated in his heart.
But his current realm is too low to know the difference between them.
"The Yang God realm experts of this world are probably also extraordinary existences, probably no worse than Heavenly Immortals. These people look down from a high position and deduce realms, how could they not notice the drawbacks of taking a different path? But these people haven't changed the cultivation model, perhaps they're lacking something, such as: the golden light I obtained."
Zhang Chen became interested at this time: "So what exactly is the Light of the True God that I upgraded? It actually allows me to cultivate the incantation of a Qi Refiner?"
"If there are no accidents, I should be the only Qi Refiner in the world. If the conditions for Qi Refiners to cultivate really exist in this world, it's impossible for those Yang God experts not to cultivate disciples to cultivate, and it's impossible for the fox spirits to have not heard any news at all."
Zhang Chen dispersed the incantation and lay lazily in the moonlight, thinking about all kinds of mysteries in his heart.
"Magic power has unique attributes that can nurture the soul and transform it into the existence of a nascent soul."
Zhang Chen's mind was clear at this time. Based on a Qi Refining scripture, he deduced many secrets.
"It's a pity that I have too little information now to completely compare the differences between the two Great Daos. But there is one difference that I still know, and that is that this world can only cultivate martial arts because there is no Qi Refining incantation, using Qi and blood to nourish the soul, so as to reach the realm of Seeing God, and taking the opportunity to embark on the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals. And what about Qi Refiners? They don't cultivate martial arts, but nourish the soul through magic power, so as to strengthen the soul, lay an unparalleled foundation, and take this opportunity to cleanse the soul, so that the path of Qi Refiners is separated from the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals."
Zhang Chen's eyes became brighter and brighter as he thought about it, and countless guesses were born in his heart.
So the Taoists who practice martial arts are strong and healthy, but after Seeing God, from the three major realms of Seeing God, Night Wandering, and Day Wandering, they are still mortal bodies and cannot increase any combat power.
Even the requirements for Qi and blood are extremely high, requiring that Qi and blood not decline, otherwise the soul will also decline accordingly, and the Taoism will begin to regress.
Only when one reaches the realm of Object Manipulation can mystery be revealed and combat power be increased.
Furthermore, the nascent soul cultivated by Qi Refiners, upon reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining, should be able to directly leap over the three major realms of Seeing Divinity, Night Travel, and Day Travel, gaining mastery over even more methods.
"One is fast in the early stages, and the other is fast in the later stages. If it were me, I would definitely choose the latter! As for the initial refinement of Qi and blood, as long as the nutrition is sufficient, and while one is young and strong, coupled with self-cultivation, there will always be some hope." Zhang Chen's lips curled up, revealing a hint of smugness: "I really want to see what the difference is between a nascent soul and a Yang spirit."
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen also realized that although Qi Refining techniques are powerful in the later stages, they are pitifully weak in the early stages, no different from ordinary people. Although they possess magic power, they have no means to protect themselves.
Of course, Qi Refiners can also practice martial arts to protect themselves, but Zhang Chen didn't want to exert himself, and instead pondered whether there were other ways to increase his combat power.
At this moment, Zhang Chen thought of the two runes drawn in the book he had seen the ancient gods open, and his eyes lit up: "Those two runes... Now that I have magic power, can I study those two runes?"
He felt it was very promising!
"It's just that I don't know what these two runes are for," Zhang Chen said to himself.
"Sleep first, think about it tomorrow." After thinking for a moment, Zhang Chen fell asleep, and the room fell silent.
The next day, the morning class bell rang, and Little Bean Sprout punctually sneaked into Zhang Chen's room, grabbed Zhang Chen's ear and pulled him up. Then, the two of them washed up together and hurried towards the martial arts field.
It was still the same monotonous life day after day. Zhang Chen followed the others to practice the morning class and recited the scriptures. However, this time, Zhang Chen felt that the scriptures were more extraordinary than ever. When reciting the words, they emitted regular sound waves, vibrating the Qi within the human body, thereby using the Qi to stimulate the soul, allowing the soul to absorb Qi and blood under stimulation, nourishing and strengthening it.
"I just don't know if people in this world, without the existence of magic power, will notice the mysteries of the Yellow Court Scripture? I guess they shouldn't be able to discover it, otherwise, how could these powerful nobles pass on such important classics to ordinary people? Wouldn't that give ordinary people the chance to leap through the dragon gate? They probably took out the Qi Refining chapter to confuse ordinary people, mystifying their families, comparing them to gods high above. These guys wouldn't even spread the words, so how could they pass down such chapters?"
A mocking look appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes. These lords had calculated everything, but they never thought that ordinary people would pick up such a great bargain.
"However, using Qi and blood to nourish the soul is too slow, and the effect is extremely weak. Unless one is a person of extraordinary talent, it is indeed difficult to see a significant effect! This formula is just a key to open the mysterious door for those with extraordinary talent. For ordinary people, other than feeling refreshed, the effect is minimal." Zhang Chen secretly ridiculed those nobles, who wouldn't bother to read such deceptive things.
"Zhang Chen, you haven't been concentrating on your practice these past few days. At this rate, when will you become a martial arts master?" Little Bean Sprout said earnestly: "Didn't you hear what the abbot said that day? There will be great changes in the future, and the Yellow Sky Dao is preparing to rebel. If you don't practice martial arts, you will only be cannon fodder when the time comes. What will you do on the battlefield?"
Zhang Chen looked at Little Bean Sprout, finished the last mouthful of rice porridge, and said smugly: "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't there still Senior Sister? Senior Sister, you will protect me, right?"
Little Bean Sprout rolled her eyes when she heard this: "Swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield. Only by mastering real skills yourself is it real."
After eating, the two began to clean the temple. This time, Little Bean Sprout refused to let Zhang Chen out of her sight, insisting on dragging Zhang Chen to practice martial arts. Zhang Chen originally wanted to resist. He was already cultivating immortality, so why practice martial arts?
However, after being slapped on the butt by Little Bean Sprout, which hurt to the bone marrow, he had no choice but to start practicing martial arts under Little Bean Sprout's tyrannical power.
"That's right, you started later than others, so you have to practice more," Little Bean Sprout said unceremoniously.
Little Bean Sprout finished warming up, lay on the reclining chair, leisurely swaying, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, took out a small bag, and slowly ate dried fruit.
"I think you're repaying kindness with revenge," Zhang Chen said unhappily, looking at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu snorted when he heard this, ignored Zhang Chen's words, and hummed a song.
After finishing practice at noon, Zhang Chen finally had time to rest. He sat down on the reclining chair next to Little Bean Sprout: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Cheng Yu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she shook her head: "Isn't that bad? There are hunting dogs in the Taoist temple. If the law enforcement elder finds out, I'm afraid it will be a disaster."
Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this: "Then forget it, let's take a break first."
Then, Zhang Chen and Little Bean Sprout picked up wooden buckets, each with a bowl of porridge, and walked along the aisle while gnawing on steamed buns.
"Life in the Taoist temple is getting harder and harder. Now, they won't even give out pickles," Little Bean Sprout complained.
Zhang Chen didn't respond, but after eating lunch with Little Bean Sprout, they each returned to their rooms to sleep. Zhang Chen took the opportunity to slip away, transformed into a vampire bat, soared in the sky, and reappeared at the Yellow River.
"The Jiaolong's body is in the cave under the riverbed. If I could salvage it, or cut off some meat, it would definitely be a great tonic. It's a pity that there are too many people staring at this thing!" Zhang Chen muttered, came to the county town, bought some snacks and meat again, and came to Han Suzhen's house.
Zhang Chen knocked on the door. This time, it was not Han Suzhen who opened the door, but a strange figure.
It was a skinny young man wearing a brocade robe, but the brocade robe was full of patches. He looked like a good-looking man.
When the young man saw Zhang Chen, who was dressed in a brocade robe, like a wealthy family's young master, he politely asked: "May I ask who this brother is?"
"I'm here to visit my teacher," Zhang Chen said, looking at the young man.
"Please come in." The young man hurriedly made way, and then introduced himself: "I am Chai Chuanxin, a member of the Great Victory Kingdom's royal family, a descendant of the Prince of Nanshan, the sixteenth generation descendant. May I ask for your name, brother?"
Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He glanced at the young man, and a question mark flashed in his mind: "This young man is a descendant of the royal family? How could he be so down and out? Sixteenth generation descendant? It should have been passed down a bit far, and he has long been out of the five blessings bloodline, but I don't know how to judge this world, whether he is still considered a noble."
