It was late at night.
Outside Dark Night City, in a thatched cottage with tightly shut windows and doors, Xiao Chen was in a wooden bucket filled with pink Marrow Cleansing Soup.
Although the wooden bucket was small and cramped, it was enough for Xiao Chen. The place was small and enclosed on all sides. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was instead gathered in the Marrow Cleansing Soup in this wooden barrel. It condensed and did not disperse, binding into a ball. It entered the meridians of the entire body along with the medicinal effects of the soup.
With the continuous influx of medicinal power and spiritual power, Xiao Chen felt that his meridians seemed to have begun to squirm, gradually becoming stronger and more powerful. The water-like spiritual power was also slowly accumulating bit by bit. It had been twenty-one days since the first time he soaked in the Marrow Cleansing Soup. The milky white water-drop-like spiritual power that could be counted on one hand had also formed a puddle in his dantian. It seemed that he was about to reach the peak of the Spirit Master realm.
His hands quickly formed eight seals, seemingly unaffected by the water flow. After fusing this set of movements into his instincts, Xiao Chen almost did not need to think. As long as a small thought rose in his mind, the seals would naturally form.
His movements became faster and faster. His hands almost formed a phantom in the marrow cleansing soup. The soup medicine beside him also flowed rapidly, making the entire wooden barrel clang. If it wasn't for the excellent workmanship of the wooden barrel found by Elder Yun and the use of high-grade nanmu wood, perhaps the wooden barrel would break once Xiao Chen soaked in it.
After completing this set of hand seals countless times, Xiao Chen closed his eyes tightly. Taking advantage of the fact that his physical body's temporary memory of this set of hand seals had not completely disappeared, he poured all his mind into the flow of spiritual power flowing out of his dantian. He carefully controlled the flow of spiritual power, corresponding to the first hand seal formed by his hand. It circulated in an extremely complicated path in his meridians.
This was completely in accordance with the method of operation taught by Elder Yun. The flow of spiritual power flowing in the meridians must be consistent with the hand seals formed on the body at every time. The degree of precise control of spiritual power was unimaginable. Therefore, only when the eight hand seals of this set of ** movements were completely integrated into the body's instinct and could be formed without even thinking could all the mind be put into the precise control of spiritual power.
However, even after a long time, Xiao Chen was still unable to fully activate the power of the first hand seal, the Acalanatha Seal. After all, the spiritual energy flow was required to completely correspond to the movements of each finger that formed the hand seal. Even the muscles were not spared. The difficulty was almost exponentially increased.
The ling power flowed down along the meridians like a small stream flowing quietly in the mountains. There was no pause. Everything was natural, as if water had come naturally. Finally, as the first hand seal was successfully formed, the spiritual power in the meridians also flowed through the entire complex path. This process seemed very long, but in fact, it only took a blink of an eye.
Boom!
With a clap of thunder, a huge force instantly shattered the sturdy wooden barrel. Then, the force that had not completely dissipated broke through the air and punched a hole half the height of a person in the wall of the thatched cottage.
"What are you doing! Making noise in the middle of the night!"
Opening his sleepy eyes slightly, Elder Yun propped his back and yawned loudly. He walked in from outside, looking as if he had just woken up.
"Eh? Your Acalanātha Seal is complete!"
Seeing the waist-high hole in the wall and the broken bucket, Elder Yun's sleepiness disappeared without a trace. His mouth, which had been wide open from yawning, could not close. He looked at Xiao Chen sitting on the ground in surprise.
At this time, Xiao Chen was still sitting on the base of the broken wooden barrel, but there was still a slightly awkward expression on his face. His hands also maintained the appearance of the first hand seal, the Acalanatha Seal.
"Teacher, it looks like I've mastered it, but…but…I…I can't move!”
After he finally managed to say the last sentence, Xiao Chen's face turned red. It wasn't that he didn't want to get up, but that he couldn't move at all. It was as if his entire body had become as stiff as a stone. Although he could feel the existence of his limbs, he couldn't exert any strength.
"Haha…you were too hasty. Your body hasn't even fully adapted to the resonance between your spiritual energy and the hand seal, yet you forced yourself to use this Acalanātha Seal.”
Elder Yun stretched out his palm and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, dispersing the remaining overbearing energy in his stiff body. He couldn't help but laugh at his disciple's sorry state.
"However, although you suffered a little, you have finally learned the simplest seal of the Acalanātha Seal. For the rest of the time, you only need to experience the resonance between your spiritual energy and the seal. It will not be difficult for you to release the first seal.”
Although Xiao Chen, who had already regained his mobility, was quite dissatisfied with Elder Yun's laughter, he could only forcefully suppress it. In his heart, he was constantly muttering,'This old fellow always comes to make fun of me when I'm at my most embarrassed. He really doesn't respect his elders.'
"With your current strength, you are almost at the peak of the Spirit Master Realm. I can tell you the power of the Acalanātha Seal at this stage. It is at least equivalent to a full-force attack from a Spirit Master who has just entered the Spirit Grandmaster Realm.”
"However, although the power of this seal is enormous, the burden on the body is very high. Even if you have been trained by me and the Marrow Cleansing Soup, after releasing this Acalanātha Seal, your entire body will inevitably be stiff for a few seconds. It would not be a problem if you were to fight someone who was about the same level as you. However, if you were to fight someone who was one level stronger than you, the few seconds after your body stiffened would be enough to kill you. Therefore, it was best not to use this hand seal before you reached the Spiritual Grandmaster level.”
When Elder Yun, who had always been disrespectful, said this, his face revealed a rare serious expression. Xiao Chen also knew the danger involved and nodded his head seriously.
"The Dark Night City is no longer so peaceful. I considered that with your current weak strength, if you encounter an enemy of the Spiritual Grandmaster Realm, you might be beaten to a pulp. Therefore, the wise, great, and handsome master will give you a life-saving firework. If there is any danger, release this firework so that the great master can protect your life.”
The mocking voice was extremely annoying. Fortunately, Xiao Chen had experienced this kind of self-boasting and belittling behavior. He also knew the strength of his teacher, so he did not have the intention to go berserk and compete with Elder Yun.
In the beginning, he didn't realize that this old man was so shameless! It seemed that his sanctimonious appearance back then was indeed an act. After a long time, he revealed his true colors. Xiao Chen kept slandering him in his heart.
Now, I have to be responsible for cooking, boiling water, and even practicing martial arts. Why is my life so bitter? Thinking of this, Xiao Chen suddenly felt like crying.
┅┅
Dark Night City was not peaceful at this time. In the west of the city, swords and sabers were clashing, and blood was flying everywhere.
As Xiao Potian's saber slashed down, black Qi surged and the air whistled. Before it could slash down, the surrounding wind immediately blew, and the dust on the ground was lifted up by the huge Qi force. The power was shocking and terrifying.
Looking at the power of the long saber, not to mention the head of the person in front of him, even a piece of refined steel could be split into two.
Originally, the enemy in black was holding a flaming spear. The longer the spear was, the stronger it was. The shorter the spear was, the more dangerous it was. However, Xiao Potian was bold and unrestrained. He waved the long saber in his hand more heroically than the spear. He did not feel restrained by the long weapon at all.
This kind of martial technique was obviously already familiar with the long saber in his hand. His grasp of spatial techniques had reached a very subtle realm.
However, the black clothed man's spear was not the slightest bit vague. Every move was extremely clear, coupled with the flames that flew all over the sky. It was as if every move of the other party was within his expectations. His weapon was placed there waiting for the other party. This kind of attack method really made Xiao Potian somewhat helpless. After exchanging dozens of moves, he was firmly held back by him and could not escape.
Whoosh!
It was Xiao Potian who had thrown out the weapon in his hand. The long saber was stabbed into the stone slab, emitting an extremely clear trembling sound.
"Roar!"
The dragon's roar seemed to come from the sky, but it was actually from Xiao Potian's mouth. It was so powerful and ferocious that it even caused all the battles to stop.
"Looks like your strength is not bad. You were actually able to force me to summon the Bone Dragon to possess you. I really have to praise you.”
Although it was a compliment, Xiao Potian, who had a pair of bone wings on his back, a single horn on his forehead, and his entire body was wrapped in white bones, did not show any signs of praise.
"You have indeed entered the Spirit King Realm. It seems that you have hidden it well enough.”
Xu Yannan's face revealed a cold smile as he looked at Xiao Potian, who was in mid-air.
Externalization of spirit connection, attaching to the body, and further releasing the power of spirit connection was an ability that only spirit kings possessed.
"However, I've long been on guard against you hiding your strength. Your Lin family was like this ten years ago and is still like this now, but I won't be fooled again.”
A faint smile appeared on Xu Yannan's ferocious face, making him look extremely strange. After he finished speaking, he turned around and faced another direction. He bent his body slightly and spoke in a respectful tone.
"Xie Daren, Yan Nan is not talented and needs your help.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely gloomy atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. The air was also filled with a thick rotten smell, as if something that had been stored underground for a long time had been excavated.
Not far away, a figure shrouded in darkness suddenly appeared. He was walking towards them step by step. The thick rotten smell in the air came from him.
