Chapter 437 Earthly Immortals and Human Immortals
"Don't worry, Grandaunt Gao. Not only have I made a breakthrough to the Great Martial Saint realm in martial arts, but I have also reached the peak of the Intermediate Profound Master in Qi Refining. I am only a little bit away from becoming a Great Profound Master." Qin Ziling replied with a smile.
He did not reveal that, except for himself, of the five celestial corpses in the cave world, four are now high-level celestial corpses, whose strength is close to that of the Golden Core Ancestor, and one is a mid-level celestial corpse.
Of course, Xiao Qing was already a great martial saint, and he just had to wait to stabilize his realm and continuously nourish his body with the innate qi and blood. When the time was right, he would reverse the last bit of acquired qi and blood in the bone marrow into the innate qi and blood true essence, erase the last bit of acquired mark, and then he would bring about a heavenly calamity.
The way of refining Qi is to steal the way from heaven. It is to introduce the Qi of heaven and earth into the body, into a mysterious space between the physical body and heaven and earth, into the meridians and Dantian, and then continuously refine it and integrate it into one's own mark, but at the same time it does not erase the mark of this world.
In this way, the magic power they cultivate has both their own mark and the mark of this world, and they use it to communicate with the power of heaven and earth.
Whenever their cultivation reaches a certain level, heaven and earth will bring down a calamity.
If they can get through it, it means that the heaven and earth recognize their strength and allow them to continue to steal the power of the heaven and earth and mobilize greater power of the heaven and earth. Anyway, no matter whether they are people with magic power or practitioners, they still belong to this world, this heaven and earth.
Therefore, after the Golden Elixir Ancestor, once they cultivate into an immortal infant, they are also called earth immortals. The word "earth" directly points to the origin of earth immortals.
But martial arts is different.
The way of martial arts is to regard oneself as a world of one's own. One's goal is to seize the fortune of the world of one's own. One is to break through the void, establish one's own school, and create one's own world.
When a warrior has an acquired body, he is still just a part of this world, no different from other living beings, including Qi cultivators.
But when a warrior reverses his innate nature from acquired nature, he must erase the acquired marks belonging to this world in his body and strike out on his own.
At this time, the laws of heaven and earth will react and a thunder disaster will be brought down.
If one can cross it, he or she will be considered to have the initial qualifications to be independent and be called a martial immortal, also known as a human immortal.
The word "person" represents oneself, an independent individual.
Qin Ziling almost attracted a heavenly calamity in the Dragon Pond because he almost wiped out the last bit of acquired mark in his blood, qi, and bone marrow, and almost erased the relationship between him and the world.
Qin Ziling woke up in time and did not refine the last bit of his acquired attributes, so the heavenly tribulation dissipated again.
The power of the heavenly calamity is related to how many acquired marks need to be erased.
Qin Ziling was twisting the qi, blood, and bone marrow in his entire body. It could be said that once it was completely reversed, the entire person's relationship with the heaven and earth would be initially wiped out. So when the calamity clouds gathered, it gave Lai Yinuan and others a very terrifying feeling.
Generally, a great martial saint only refines a part of the body.
For example, the qi, blood, and bone marrow in Xiao Qing's head cannot be reversed at present. What she wants to erase are the acquired marks below the head, and the power of the heavenly tribulation will be much weaker.
There are fewer other Martial Saints, and their power will be smaller.
However, no matter how small the power is, the heavenly tribulation of a Martial Saint is still much more dangerous and difficult to overcome than the heavenly tribulation of a Mystical Master.
In the final analysis, between Qi Refiners and Warriors, no matter how powerful the former are, they still belong to this world, while the latter want to escape from this world and establish their own school, so the treatment of the two is naturally different.
This can be seen from the fact that the latter can be called a martial immortal or a human immortal once they have passed the heavenly tribulation, while the former can only be called a half-immortal after passing the heavenly tribulation and forming a golden elixir. It can also be seen that the power of some heavenly tribulations is very different.
However, although a human immortal is also called an immortal, he can only rely on himself. So a human immortal who has just survived the heavenly tribulation, although also called an immortal, is just like a toddler among immortals. Generally speaking, if we really talk about strength, he is at the same level as the Golden Core Ancestor who is only called a semi-immortal but has the support of heaven and earth, but is slightly better.
"Great, Great Martial Saint! Peak Intermediate Profound Master!" Everyone was very excited when they heard this.
However, when people thought that Jiang Shengyun had successfully passed the tribulation and became the Golden Core Ancestor, the atmosphere in the hall soon became solemn again.
"Although you have also made a breakthrough, you have only made a breakthrough within the same realm, while Jiang Shengyun has now passed the heavenly tribulation and become a golden elixir cultivator. Although he has only made a leap forward one level, his breakthrough is between two realms. Are you confident now?
If not, I will ask the two great elders and the sect master for an extension no matter what. Given my current status, the two great elders and the sect master will definitely consider it carefully." Lai Yi Nuan said seriously.
"Don't worry, teacher. I am more confident in killing Jiang Shengyun now than I was fifty-five days ago!" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
His voice echoed in the hall. The surroundings were almost eerily quiet, with only the occasional gasps.
Killing the Jindan Patriarch was scary enough, but Qin Ziling actually said that he was now more confident in killing Jiang Shengyun. How could this not shock everyone?
After a long time, everyone slowly came to their senses, but their faces were still filled with horror and disbelief.
"Thirty days ago, calamity clouds suddenly appeared over Qincheng. Could it be you who caused them?" Lai Yi Nuan suddenly remembered something and asked.
"It should be." Qin Ziling replied.
The hall fell into silence again.
Generally speaking, the power of heavenly tribulations at the same level is similar.
But there are very few exceptional people who are exceptions.
They will attract powerful natural tribulations that others at the same level simply cannot survive!
"If that's the case, your master isn't really worried about your battle with Jiang Shengyun, but this heavenly tribulation..." Lai Yinuan nodded first, then revealed a bitter smile and worry on his face.
"Teacher, don't worry. As long as I calm down and refine myself more, there will be no problem in overcoming the tribulation." Qin Ziling interrupted with confidence.
Every breakthrough in his physical martial arts was a great perfection, extremely powerful, and stimulated many bloodline supernatural powers. He also practiced Qi, the soul, and the corpse. The five heavenly corpses were actually equivalent to his clones.
When the heavenly calamity comes, if his physical body cannot withstand it, he can condense his magic power or manifest his golden soul to help resist for a while. If he still cannot withstand it, he can ask the five heavenly corpses to help withstand it.
Qin Ziling didn't believe that even with so many methods combined, he still couldn't survive the heavenly tribulation.
In addition to these, Qin Ziling's confidence also came from the vast inheritance he had obtained from his practice in Longtan. Although this inheritance was fragmented and difficult to understand, Qin Ziling had still comprehended some of the true meaning of the great way, which was of great help to him in overcoming the heavenly tribulation.
Of course, there is also the thunder liquid, and the thunder in the cave world. Qin Ziling even thought of the thunder in the small wind and thunder barrier.
He can still sense the existence of the small wind and thunder barrier. Perhaps after killing Jiang Shengyun, he will think about it carefully.
The thunder on the Thunder God Mountain in that small barrier is much more powerful than the thunder in the cave world. If Qin Ziling could re-enter the small barrier and experience a thunder bath of that level, he would really have nothing to worry about the heavenly tribulation.
Of course, Qin Ziling would not reveal these things on his own initiative.
"It's best if you have confidence!" Lai Yinuan nodded, feeling a lot more relieved.
Qin Ziling smiled, then looked at Lai Yinuan intently for a few seconds.
Even with Lai Yinuan's cultivation level, Qin Ziling's glances made his hair stand on end, as if no secrets could be hidden.
"The teacher is now full of vitality, his magic power is pure, surging powerfully, and operating mysteriously. It seems that the biggest problem in overcoming the heavenly tribulation is the accumulation of magic power." Qin Ziling said.
"Yes, after all, after so many years, how can I make up for the lost mana so quickly? It's only because my master realm is still there, and the golden lightning liquid has strengthened my vitality, that I can absorb mana energy from the magic crystal stone, and even take elixirs unscrupulously, so that I can quickly make up for it and return to the level of a great master.
However, now all the magic crystals and elixirs that I have accumulated over the years, and even the magic crystals that your uncle Ruan has earned over the years, have been used up. The amount of resources needed for subsequent cultivation will be even greater. Without sufficient resources, it will be difficult to cultivate to the peak level of the Great Mystic Master in the short term. "Lai Yi Nuan replied.
"Resources?" Qin Ziling's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of the underground world.
Back then, he passed through the passage to the underground world of Fulao Pass and went to the underground world guarded by the Xie family. Outside a dark and dangerous place, he found the remains of the tail of a huge ancient creature. A lot of magic crystals were derived around the remains.
Unfortunately, that was only a small part , and the big head was in a dark and dangerous place, so Qin Ziling’s soul could not enter.
Today, Qin Ziling's spiritual power has greatly increased and has reached the realm of Manifestation of Sainthood. He has even produced a trace of pure yang power due to frequent thunder tempering.
When Qin Ziling was practicing in Longtan before, his soul seemed to extend an invisible root into the infinite void to absorb energy and strengthen his soul.
Therefore, if he were to enter the underground world again now, his soul might enter that dark and dangerous place.
"There is no need to rush for the teacher to overcome the tribulation right now." Qin Ziling said as he thought about the matters in the underground cave world.
"Since you are confident that you can kill Jiang Shengyun, there is no rush for me to overcome the tribulation." Lai Yi Nuan nodded.
Qin Ziling smiled slightly, then turned to Qin Zaixin and said, "Uncle, the dragon energy contained in the dragon pond is no longer as fierce and violent as before. Anyone in the clan who has reached the intermediate master level and is under the age of seventy should be able to enter the dragon pond to absorb the dragon energy.
As for whether one can stimulate the bloodline and cultivate to the Grandmaster level in one fell swoop, it depends on one's own talent, physique, and opportunity."
"Really?" Qin Zaixin and others were all extremely surprised when they heard this.
The reason why the Qin family has been on a downward trend and has failed to rise since the death of the previous head of the family and several elders is that the conditions for entering the Dragon Pond are too harsh.
In order to enter the Dragon's Pond, one must refine the four major organs and be no younger than thirty years old.
Before the prince launched a massive attack on Qin City, no one in the Qin family met this condition except Qin Ziling.
Therefore, for the Qin family, it is like they are sitting on a treasure mountain but are not allowed to enter!
If one is not allowed to enter the treasure mountain, it will often become a disaster that leads to the death and destruction of the entire clan.
This time, the prince was determined to destroy the Qin family, and a big part of the reason was because he was heading for the Qin family’s ancestral land, Longtan.
Now Qin Ziling told them that the conditions for entering Longtan have been greatly relaxed, which means that it will be much easier for the Qin family to cultivate grand masters in the future than before.
Such a Dragon Pond is a real Dragon Pond for the Qin family. Otherwise, it is useless and will just be a dead pond, a dangerous pond!
