Chapter 359: The Realm of Seizing the Body
Two months later, it was already hot summer.
Yunluo Lake, the island in the middle of the lake, and the Wuji Palace.
Qin Ziling sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Surges of energy and blood continued to surge out of his body, forming a terrifying air vortex within a radius of more than ten meters around him , which seemed to be able to swallow and crush everything.
Compared to the changes around him, the changes inside his body were even more turbulent and terrifying.
The surging energy and blood rushed like a raging river, hitting the top of his head.
As his qi and blood continued to surge towards his crown, his limbs and torso were shrinking and shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if his qi and blood had been drained out.
Beads of cold sweat the size of beans broke out on Qin Ziling's head.
The muscles on Qin Ziling's face kept twisting, looking extremely terrifying and painful.
This is Qin Ziling attacking the last part of his skull, the crown.
Refining this piece can be considered the great perfection of bone refining.
But this piece of skull is extremely difficult to train.
For this piece of skull, Qin Ziling had been attacking non-stop for seven days and seven nights, and had endured pain that ordinary people could not imagine for seven days and seven nights.
Several times, Qin Ziling wanted to give up, but in the end he gritted his teeth and persevered.
He knew that if he gave up, all the efforts and pain he had endured would be wasted.
He will never have the chance to train his bones to the state of great perfection again in this life!
"I must succeed! If I fail, I will die!" Qin Ziling shouted frantically in his heart. The pattern on his heart suddenly lit up at this moment. Countless energy and blood surged out, rushing towards the top of his head again.
At this moment, the heart is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is Qin Ziling's last-ditch effort.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The increasingly surging energy and blood power continued to impact the top of his head, like a raging flood that was about to break down the embankment that blocked its way.
Qin Ziling was shaking all over and couldn't even maintain a sitting posture. He was swaying all over as if he was about to fall down at any time.
It was not known how long it had been, but Qin Ziling felt that his consciousness was moving away from him. He just relied on the obsession in his heart to mechanically mobilize his qi, blood and strength to continuously impact the top of his head.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
Suddenly, Qin Ziling felt as if his whole body was enlightened, refreshed, and the sky was high and the earth was vast.
He "saw" a surge of qi and blood flowing unimpeded into the Niwan Palace.
The tangible qi and blood are constantly nourishing the invisible soul.
The invisible soul, in turn, constantly refined the qi and blood, leaving behind little by little marks of divine thoughts on it, causing the tangible qi and blood to carry Qin Ziling's spiritual will, becoming incomparably agile and condensed.
The spirit and soul are nourished by the unobstructed flow of qi and blood and continue to grow stronger.
Suddenly, the soul "exploded" and turned into countless souls that filled the entire Niwan Palace.
Each soul seems to be an independent individual, but at the same time they are connected everywhere. As long as Qin Ziling has a thought, countless souls will gather together and become one soul.
As these changes occurred, Qin Ziling "saw" the vast and boundless starry sky, countless stars with sparks streaking across the sky, and the mighty Milky Way. He also "saw" the endless and vast land, and many powerful ancient races fighting, including giant dragons riding on clouds and mist, fire phoenixes burning the sky and boiling the sea, and giant apes that could pick stars with their hands...
Many strange visions appeared one after another, and fragments of mysterious mysteries continued to pour into Qin Ziling's mind.
It took a long time for Qin Ziling to wake up from the mysteries that kept flooding into his mind.
"The human head is round like a lid, the dome is like the sky, and the Niwan Palace, where the spirits reside, is the heavenly palace. I broke through the top of my head, which means I opened up the passage to the Niwan Palace, which is the heavenly palace where the spirits reside. This can be considered as the unity of the spirit and man, or the unity of heaven and man. Only when the spirit and man can be united can it be called possession, otherwise it can only be called possession.
There is heaven and people here, but there is still no earth. Niwan Palace is heaven, I am a human, so isn't Dantian below my abdomen the earth? The unity of heaven, earth and man can be called the unity of Tao. Heaven and earth are immortal, so am I. Heaven and earth are eternal, so am I...
No wonder Li Mo was stuck in the realm of distraction and could never break through. If his blood and energy could not be cultivated to the head, he could not open up the heaven-man channel. The nourishment his soul could get was very limited, so it was naturally very slow to break through!
In the past, I relied on the old demon Li Mo and the unification of the three souls to make rapid progress in the spiritual path. In fact, that did not mean that I had the talent for spiritual cultivation. But now, by cultivating the head to the great perfection and opening up the way of heaven and man, it is like a revelation. From this moment on, I have truly embarked on my own spiritual cultivation path and can be regarded as a true spiritual cultivation genius!"
Qin Ziling showed a confident smile on his face and began to examine other changes in himself.
The great perfection of bone refining did not bring about an increase in the total amount of qi, blood, and strength. On the contrary, because qi, blood, and strength continued to flow into the Niwan Palace, the tangible energy was constantly converted into intangible energy of the mind and soul, and the total amount of qi, blood, and strength was reduced a lot.
However, the reduction in the total amount of qi, blood and strength did not make Qin Ziling feel weak. On the contrary, he felt that his whole body was full of explosive power. It was like a fat person who had lost his fat and became extremely strong and sturdy.
Every strand of qi, blood and strength seemed to have been refined and was extremely pure. Not only that, Qin Ziling could now sense with extreme clarity the flow of every strand of qi, blood and strength in his body, because as the qi, blood and strength continued to flow through the Niwan Palace, they were all marked with the imprint of Qin Ziling's soul.
Now, with just a thought from Qin Ziling, his qi, blood and strength can be mobilized and condensed in an instant, bursting out with terrifying combat power.
It can be said that although the total amount of Qi, blood and strength was large in the past, they were like a mob. Now the total amount of Qi, blood and strength is smaller, but they are an elite army with strict discipline and strict enforcement of orders.
The combat effectiveness of the two is completely different.
In addition to the change in strength, Qin Ziling discovered that the pattern on his chest representing "power" became more complicated, and there were two more patterns on the edge of this pattern.
Qin Ziling had never seen these two patterns before, but he knew that one of the patterns represented "change" and the other represented "riding on the clouds."
"Dragons are good at changing. They can be big or small, bend or stretch, hide or appear, fly or dive! Could it be that I really have true dragon blood, and the perfection of bone refining has stimulated some of the true dragon blood, and then I have two more magical powers?" When Qin Ziling saw the two patterns, he couldn't help but think of some rumors about dragons, as well as the Qin family bloodline mentioned by Qin Zitang.
"It is impossible to verify whether these rumors are true or false, and there is no point in thinking about it now. I might as well try these two magical powers first." Qin Ziling quickly suppressed the associations in his mind and began to try the magical powers.
"Big! Big! Big!" When Qin Ziling started to try out his magical powers, the first thing he thought of was to get bigger.
The pattern representing "change" lit up, and Qin Ziling's body continued to grow larger. In a blink of an eye, he grew to ten feet tall. However, no matter how much Qin Ziling shouted "big", it was useless.
This enlargement is real enlargement, not an illusion.
At this moment, Qin Ziling felt his muscles extremely tense, full of explosive power, and his fighting power doubled.
"If I could have become so tall and strong last time, I would have been able to beat up that big demon general!" Qin Ziling clenched his fists and looked narcissistically at his muscles that looked like the roots of an old tree, feeling secretly proud.
Unfortunately, Qin Ziling's majestic and tall appearance could only be maintained for a short time, and soon the light of the pattern dimmed, and the whole person returned to his original form.
After changing back to his original form, Qin Ziling felt soreness in his bones and muscles all over his body, as if he had just been stretched extremely.
"Oh my god, the transformation time is too short, and the aftereffects are too uncomfortable. It's simply a useless magical power!" Qin Ziling pinched his sore arm and couldn't help looking frustrated.
But soon, Qin Ziling slapped his head.
"How could I be so smart all my life but so foolish at this moment! Why should I change my whole body? Can't I just change one part?"
Qin Ziling patted his head, then quickly raised his claws to the sky with excitement and shouted, "Look at my dragon claw hand!"
With this shout, his palm suddenly grew larger, and surging blood and energy burst out, revealing a dragon claw covered with scales in the air. When the claw was opened, it was two or three feet in radius.
Looking at this scene, Qin Ziling was a little stunned.
With one claw of this huge dragon claw, a small hill would probably be torn apart!
However, this dragon claw could not last long and soon turned back to its original form. Then the right hand that had transformed into the dragon claw became more and more sore, but it did not affect other parts of the body.
"Wow, what a change, what a change!" Qin Ziling's face was full of surprise. He really wanted to try the legendary "Heavenly Can Foot" again, but in the end he was afraid of the soreness and weakness, so he put his raised foot down again.
After putting his feet down, Qin Ziling began to demonstrate "flying on the clouds" while enduring the soreness and weakness in his body.
This magical power was strange, it really seemed like it was innate. Qin Ziling just activated the pattern, and the energy and blood in his body began to circulate under his body surface, forming a vortex. The water spirit energy around him immediately gathered and formed clouds to lift Qin Ziling up and fly in the air, but the speed was relatively slow.
"This speed is a bit slow. It's okay to use it for sightseeing, pretending to be a hermit, or showing off, but it's definitely not suitable for escaping." Qin Ziling frowned slightly, quite disappointed with this magical power of "riding on clouds and mist".
However, he also knew that supernatural powers were dependent on the body and bloodline. The stronger the body and bloodline, the stronger the supernatural powers would be.
His current physical body and bloodline are still far behind those of the ancient true dragons, so his speed of flying in the clouds is naturally as slow as a turtle.
"What a pity! My body and bloodline are not strong enough, otherwise I would not be able to win. I can just roll up the clouds and fly away. How cool it would be!" Qin Ziling shook his head repeatedly and was about to retract his ability to fly in the clouds when he suddenly had a slight movement in his heart.
"This method of flying in the clouds and mist is to use one's own blood and energy to operate in a mysterious way, gather the water spirit energy around, and lift the body to fly. Therefore, the speed of this method is not only related to the strength of one's own cultivation and magical powers, but also to the amount of water spirit energy around.
I can't become stronger immediately with my own cultivation and magical powers, but although the water spirit energy in this world is endless, it is thin and turbid. How can it be as pure as the water essence power I have cultivated? Once I release my own water essence power, wouldn't it be equivalent to changing the external conditions?"
