Chapter 78 Obtaining A New Physique
Chapter 78 Obtaining A New Physique
" You have quite some talent. To think you used Sword Qi and penetrated through the Earth grade armor of Yan Ziren" Xia Yuqing spoke in a light voice.
" Well, I guess we added another sect to our hostile list." Meng Zhi sighed.
" Don't worry. Even a rat will bite back if it's cornered. If they think Four Seasons Valley is easy to bully, They can come freely." Xia Yuqing's voice turned cold.
" However, I don't think they will like the consequences."
Then, she looked at Long Ming again as she nodded. " You did well. You should go and take some rest. But before that, I need to ask you something."
" Yes, Master?"
Xia Yuqing asked. " What's with that Spiritual Attack? Can you freely use your spiritual qi like that?"
" Well, I got enlightened last night. Therefore, I can use Sword Qi." Long Ming spoke. " As for the Spiritual Attack, it was a technique that I got from… Lan Family's treasury."
" Is that so?" Xia Yuqing didn't let him go. " If you got the technique there, I can see that your proficiency is already reached Minor completion. Don't tell me you took three days to reach Minor Completion of a Spiritual Technique?"
' It took one night actually.'
Long Ming spoke in his heart as he nodded. " Yes, I guess that's…true."
" What? Three days to comprehend a Spiritual Technique?"
" Wait! Weren't you only in the Sword Aura realm a day ago? How come you were able to use Sword Qi today?" Ming Yuexin walked to Long Ming as she spoke.
" Huh? He was at Sword Aura realm a day ago?"
" I thought he already reached Sword Qi stage long ago and he is merely concealing it."
" Dan! Don't tell me reached the Sword qi stage last night?"
Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming. Long Ming only shrugged as he laughed lightly. " Well, I guess it was also…enlightenment?"
Xia Yuqing looked at the crowd as she spoke. " The event is over. Everyone, please return. I need to talk about something with Long Ming."
The disciples and elders nodded as they returned. Ming Yuexin gave a complicated glance to Long Ming as she also returned.
" Now, Tell me. What happened?"
" Master, Let me be honest." Long Ming spoke with a serious voice. Xia Yuqing also nodded as she was eager to hear more.
" I am actually one in a thousand year genius."
Xia Yuqing was stunned for a moment as her face hardened.
" I guess you need some discipline and self reflection in the Cave of Silence."
" Wait, Wait!" Long Ming hurriedly spoke. " I am telling the truth. Like, Can't you see my comprehension power? I can comprehend any type of technique thanks to my ability."
Xia Yuqing paused as she looked at Long Ming. What he was saying wasn't far from her own speculations. After all, when Long Ming reached the Minor Completion in Crimson Pearl Revolution Art, she already realized his comprehensive power.
" Fine, I will believe you for now." Xia Yuqing spoke. " However, you better be prepared. The selections of the Imperial Tournament have already begun. Since we already have twenty five quotas now, we got more time for preparation."
" Two weeks. You have two weeks before Imperial Tournament. So better utilize this time wisely."
" As you say, Master."
Xia Yuqing nodded as she gave him a quick glance.
" Also, Don't hesitate to come to me if you have any doubts. I will not feel good if you keep calling me master while not getting anything from me in return."
Long Ming was startled when he heard Xia Yuqing. Although she appeared to be cold, it looks like she cares about her disciples a lot.
" I understand, Master."
Xia Yuqing let out a light sigh when she saw Long Ming leaving.
After Long Ming returned, Xiao'er greeted him in her usual way. However, Long Ming was busy this time. After bidding her goodbye, He went straight to the Sect's Scripture Pavilion and Treasure Hall.
However, This time, He didn't go to the places where the cultivation manual and battle techniques aware stored. Instead, he went to the section of rune inscription and alchemy techniques.
Although Four Seasons Valley has been weakened a lot, their ancestral heritage is still here. Not to mention, the preservation of supplementary techniques is better than cultivation manuals and battle techniques.
" Basic Control of Alchemical Fire! Learn! Three Ways of Pill Condensation! Learn! Spirit Cauldron Controlling Art! Learn!"
Long Ming used his Skill Learn skill to rapidly understand the techniques. After going through the techniques, he sat in a place and closed his eyes.
' The alchemists can be considered as a powerful pillar of any sect. Without them, a sect can never be too powerful. Not to mention, it's one of the most money making professions.'
' Condense True Qi to make flames. Use the flames to heat the cauldron. Add a proportional amount of herbs and maintain their refinement by spiritual qi. In alchemy, one needs proficient usage of both True Qi and Spiritual Qi.'
After quite some time, Long Ming opened his eyes as he puffed out a breath of turbid air.
' Although Sect's alchemical foundation is stable, one can never know what will happen next. Therefore, I need to be prepared.'
Thinking that Long Ming also borrowed books about Rune Inscriptions and returned to his abode.
' Now, Let's see what this thing can do.'
[ Ding! Host got the Random Royal grade Physique Orb! Are you willing to use it?]
" Yes."
Suddenly, that orb broke and turned into particles of multicolored light as it rushed inside Long Ming's body.
Suddenly, Long Ming felt his body filling with a sudden wave of powerful energy as his expression changed. The sudden crash of energy almost made his body jolt.
As the energy increased, Long Ming's pain also increased.
With his sharp divine sense, he could feel the powers of endless things. Fire, water, earth, metal, wood, lightning… He could feel the power of myriads of grand dao rampaging through his body.
[ Ding! Host acquired Spatial Light Physique!]
' Spatial Light Physique? Is it a space type physique? Doesn't that mean I hit a jackpo-'
[ Warning! Host's unknown physique is reacting! Host's unknown physique is devouring the Spatial Light Physique!]
[ Ding! Host's physique is evolving!]
" !!!"
Before Long Ming could understand anything, he felt his senses are getting dull. Even when he used his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, all he could see was a dark colored power swirling around him.
When Long Ming opened his eyes, he was in a familiar place, absolute nothingness.
' Where am I?'
Long Ming tried to speak, but his voice didn't appear in the absolute darkness. He could only hear his thoughts as his five senses were the same as a pebble dropping in the ocean.
' This place… I remember coming here when I practiced the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method. But to think I will return here again.'
Long Ming tried to walk and explore around. But his senses were so dull that he couldn't understand if he is walking or staring at the same place.
There was no sense of time, no source of light, no feeling of atmosphere, or any passage of space. It felt infinitely void, no matter where you feel.
' Nether Dragon…Concealment…Void…' Long Ming realized that he is missing something.
' System said my physique is evolving. Evolution can only happen when it meets certain criteria. My Spatial Light Physique got devoured.'
' The secret of Shadow Dragon Breathing Method is concealment… To conceal, you need to devour this thing and make it your own.'
Suddenly, Long Ming's mind jolted.
' This place… Is it not the same as a black hole? All devouring and infinite darkness?'
' Nether Dragon… Concealment…Void… Devour!'
Suddenly, Long Ming realized something as he closed his eyes. ' How can nothingness devour me if I devour it in the first place?'
' Devour!'
Suddenly, Long Ming felt a giant moving force around him, like a gigantic dragon circling around him. The movement became faster and faster as a faint crack of light appeared.
Suddenly, light a pillar of lightning illuminated the sky, and the entire nothingness brightened. Long Ming could see the cosmos, the stars and the planets, the realms, and the abyss.
He could see numerous beings wandering in the void, some of them ruling the planets. There are an infinite amount of them, each possessing tremendous power.
The swirling power increased as Long Ming created a whirlpool or light and darkness that was capable of devouring and controlling everything.
The universal law hummed as Long Ming could feel the insights of myriads of grand dao.
His body got devoured by darkness, but then, the darkness gout was devoured by light, which recreated his body. The process continued till Long Ming could harmonize both light and darkness.
[ Ding! Host's body limits vanishing! Host's realm shackle is vanishing! Host obtained a new physique!]
[ Physique grade detected! Ancient Heaven Class]
*BOOM BOOM*
Everyone in the Four Seasons Valley got shocked as they looked at the sky. The dark cloud swirled as it turned into a vortex. Amidst the vortex, there was an incomparable clear blue sky.
However, that piece of clear sky gave tremendous oppression, like the vault of heaven weighing on them.
*CRACKLE CRACKLE!*
" Lightning Tribulation! Why there is lightning tribulation here!"
" No, That's not lightning tribulation! It's something different."
Xia Yuqing also came out of her abode as she looked at the sky. Long Ming opened his eyes as he looked at the blue dome of heaven before him.
It reflected in his azure Heavenly Revelation Eyes, like two mirrors creating infinite reflection.
" Xiao'er, Go away."
Xiao'er was already nervous when she saw the phenomenon. Hearing Long Ming she retreated to a safe zone.
' This is a new physique, right?' Long Ming looked at the sky as he smiled.
" Let it be named as… Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique"
*BOOOOOM*
Along with gigantic lightning, a pillar of golden light descended on Long Ming as a sonorous dao rhythm spread across the entire Four Seasons Valley.
A gigantic black dragon rose from Long Ming's body as it coiled around the golden pillar and soared to the sky. The grand dao flowed like a river as the dark dragon basked in it.
.
.
.
.
" This… What sort of phenomenon is this?!"
" Physique phenomenon? Did someone awaken an Imperial Physique?"
" The pressure is too big!"
A man sitting on a throne became shocked as his golden robe fluttered. " Check it out! Where is it from!"
.
.
.
In a faraway tower, an old man was drinking tea calmly before he trembled violently.
" The Descending River of Grand Dao? Who created such a phenomenon?"
.
.
.
On a forward island, an old woman was sitting amidst the arrays. The arrays flashed as she looked above.
" The stars and shifting and the daos are moving. The new era is here."
.
.
.
.
But Long Ming was oblivious to such things as he could feel the golden pillar of light was thoroughly absorbed by his body and Desolate Immortal Aura.
[ Ding! Desolate Immortal Aura upgraded!]
