The jade stone lay across the center of the Palace of Fate, countless swirls of Chaos Qi washed down upon it, enveloped in a misty glow, with lines slowly forming.
This was the Creation Jade Stone, nurturing a special Dao technique most compatible with Su Changqing.
Strangely, at the edge of the jade stone the size of a millstone, a Heaven-Opening Axe imprint filled with beauty gathered upon it.
Su Changqing was taken aback, "Companion Dao Soldiers lack corporeal form, why do they appear on the Creation Jade Stone?"
"Could it be... my life-bound Dao artifact will be a Heaven-Opening Axe?"
"No, that’s not right, the shape of the Creation Jade Stone hasn’t changed, it’s still in the process of nurturing and refining..."
Confusion flashed in Su Changqing’s eyes, but after pondering for a moment without finding answers, he temporarily shook his head and gave up.
"I’ll ask the teacher about it when I return, my life-bound Dao Soldiers... seem somewhat peculiar."
Thinking this, Su Changqing redirected his focus from the Palace of Fate to the multicolored spiritual seed within his Dantian.
Strictly speaking at this time, his cultivation long passed the Divine Body realm, and reached that of the Divine Spirit realm.
According to Xuan Qingzi, the Divine Spirit realm is divided into three steps.
To absorb spirit into one’s body, to nurture the Spirit Root, this is the first step, and the most crucial step in the Divine Spirit realm.
The quality of the absorbed spiritual seed determines the strength of the Spirit Root itself, and the quality of the Spiritual Qi.
For instance, releasing a strand of Spiritual Qi derived from a high-grade spiritual seed means mid-grade spiritual seeds need to release ten strands to defend against it.
With equal quantities of Spiritual Qi among cultivators, quality is key to determining combat strength.
The second step, known as opening the spirit apertures, involves 365 apertures in the human body. Once they are connected, Spiritual Qi circulates along with the Zhou Tian, significantly boosting combat strength.
The third step is the pinnacle of the Divine Spirit realm, the full spirit realm.
Once apertures are connected, they absorb large quantities of Spiritual Qi, filling the spiritual apertures, making Spiritual Power inexhaustible, greatly enhancing endurance in battle across deep abyss and four seas.
Upon reaching this step, the real duel begins.
Due to the surge in internal Spiritual Power, one can unleash formidable secret techniques, often causing tremendous destruction.
"The most important spiritual seed for the Divine Spirit realm, Buyu has already helped me resolve."
"The remaining task is to find a suitable Divine Spiritual realm cultivation technique."
Thinking of this, Su Changqing’s gaze fell on the cheap jade pendant stored within the Na ring.
This item was given by his father, who said it could be exchanged for a decent Divine Spirit realm cultivation technique.
Regarding this... Su Changqing remained skeptical.
"This jade pendant doesn’t seem to be worth much, can it truly exchange for a good cultivation technique?"
Su Changqing displayed a hesitant expression.
While the spiritual seed is crucial for the Divine Spirit realm, the cultivation technique is an indispensable aspect.
The spiritual seed determines the quality of the Spiritual Power, while the cultivation technique determines the explosion, quantity, and speed of cultivation for Spiritual Power.
Neither can be neglected or chosen casually.
"After visiting the Liu family with Teacher, I will check this out. If it’s no good, then consider other cultivation techniques..."
After a brief examination of himself, Su Changqing opened his eyes.
At the moment, Qing Zhu and Shan Yuan led their way forward, moving at a rapid pace.
The vast land quickly streamed past underfoot, while the distant sky was clear and boundless, bathed in the glow of sunset.
Feeling happy, Su Changqing could not help but smile and speak.
At this remark, the corners of Xuan Qingzi and others’ mouths twitched slightly.
Su Changqing had been internalizing and did not notice changes in the external world.
Given the extremely swift speed of the two spiritual beings, they inevitably encountered fierce wind and rain flows.
Yet oddly, whenever they neared, without waiting for the two spiritual beings to drive them away, the fierce wind immediately changed direction, and dark clouds dispersed on their own.
Even the falling raindrops seemed reluctant to hit them, blown far away by the wind.
Initially confused, upon recalling the favor bestowed upon Su Changqing by the King of Spirits, it became clear.
"Where Senior Brother is, there is fine weather."
Wu Yong’s slightly sour tone resonated.
Initially, he thought prosperous luck was just that, but now looking at this...
It’s like he’s the son of heaven!
With dawn always accompanying him and stars and moon vying for brilliance by night, it’s an enviable treatment.
Su Changqing chuckled, thinking of something, a gentle expression flashed in his eyes.
"There’s something amiss with this world."
Sprinting Qing Zhu occasionally looked toward the sky, speaking with a furrowed brow.
"Did you sense it too?"
Shan Yuan spoke in a muffled voice, "The Spiritual Qi in the world seems excessively dense."
"Initially, I thought it was the favor from Mr. Chang Qing, but later discovered it was not."
"It’s this world’s suppression..."
Before Shan Yuan finished speaking, a violent roar suddenly erupted across the heavens and earth.
Immense waves of Spiritual Power poured from above the Nine Heavens down to the mortal world.
Streaks of light like vast rainbows burst forth from the sky, shooting in all directions, enveloping the entire Cangyan Continent.
Flora grew rampantly, mountains and rivers roared, at this moment, it seemed as though heavens rejoiced.
Both sprinting Shan Yuan and Qing Zhu halted abruptly, looking toward the vast heavens and earth.
"Suppression completely vanishes, the grand era arrives."
Qing Zhu murmured with fervent light in his eyes.
In contrast to Qing Zhu’s optimism, Shan Yuan sighed lightly.
"It is a grand era, indeed, but also a chaotic era, the rivers will flow with blood again."
Qing Zhu fell silent for a moment at hearing this, then smiled, "This day was bound to come, just earlier than anticipated."
"Perhaps it is the will of heaven, aware of Buyu’s transformation, the emergence of the Celestial Destiny Emperor."
Shan Yuan laughed heartily at the words, "Indeed it’s so."
"Let’s go; it is time for the world to know of our spirit race’s emergence!"
