The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 462 - 203: Qi Fortune to Jiao (3rd Update, Please Subscribe)

"The transformation from snake to jiao?"

Xu Qing noticed the transformation of the Qi Fortune Little Snake inside his body, but now it should no longer be called a snake, rather it had taken the form of a jiao. With a dragon’s head, claws, and some dragon scales appearing on its body, the Qi Fortune Little Jiao’s neck had a white, blurry pattern that was indistinct.

The predominant color of the dragon scales was azure, and the previous dark aura had greatly faded, further accentuating the majesty of the Qi Fortune Little Jiao.

Xu Qing could even sense an invisible white energy from various areas of Jiangning Prefecture flowing into the Qi Fortune Little Jiao; at the same time, the Qi Fortune Little Jiao was reciprocating to Jiangning Prefecture.

It gave off the impression of organizing Jiangshan, indicating favorable weather and good harvests.

At this moment, the Five Great Demon Gods Visualization spontaneously ignited.

Each transformed into a pure concept and entered into the Five Great Demons.

Xu Qing felt as if the Five Great Demons had "come to life".

Not in an out-of-control "coming to life," but as external incarnations of Xu Qing himself, like his own limbs, making them easier to direct and control.

At the same time, the Five Great Demons also turned into tattoo-like patterns and appeared on Xu Qing’s body.

Each one was imprinted on Xu Qing’s limbs and heart area.

This made Xu Qing’s every move carry an indescribable and profound authority.

"Five Great Demons correspond to five types of Devil Thoughts, which can actually be transformed into five different Fist Intents." A flash of insight crossed Xu Qing’s mind.

At this stage, he had thoroughly absorbed the essence of the Five Great Demon Gods Visualization Method, and embarked on a path different from its creator.

Because he practiced Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, not merely Divine Soul Cultivation.

"Unfortunately, without reaching the Realm of ’Daoist Law of Nature,’ my Martial Arts have reached their limits at this step," Xu Qing knew that without Spirit and Body Integration, it was difficult to surmount the barrier of Martial Saint.

Unless there was a Divine Pill even more remarkable than the Xuantian Ascending Dragon Pill.

The fact that there were three Xuantian Ascending Dragon Pills this time was thanks to the Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript; otherwise, at most there would be two, or perhaps only one.

The power of the Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript lay in the fact that it elevated the one or two possible waste pills in the pill furnace into something sublime.

In the future, for Xu Qing to find similar Holy Objects for Alchemy, it would likely only be possible in royal tombs or large tombs from the Middle Ages or prior eras.

That is assuming these tombs hadn’t been excavated.

In reality, through the dynastic changes over generations, many large tombs have been dug into countless times.

Especially the tombs from the Han Dynasty, hardly a few were spared.

By the end of the Han Dynasty, an official position specializing in tomb raiding emerged, known as the Tomb Raider Captain.

After observing the Qi Fortune Little Jiao, Xu Qing shifted his attention inward.

Previously, he could use "Divine Soul" for Inner Vision to observe his own body, but now even without using Divine Soul, he was familiar with every minute part of his body.

This was also different from the Refining Organ Realm.

The "Inner Vision" within the Refining Organ Realm mainly focused on the location of the five organs.

Beyond that, Xu Qing had a deeper understanding of the function of every part of his body.

The reason why they are called Grandmasters in Martial Arts is precisely this.

They have a profound understanding of every Martial Arts that they learn or create themselves, knowing what effects and functions it can cultivate, what harm it may cause to the body, and they have their own cognitive system of Martial Arts.

Furthermore, within this framework, they are capable of innovating on what is old.

"Divine Soul Cultivation can elevate the limit, while Martial Arts Cultivation consolidates the foundation." Xu Qing made his own judgment.

The deeper the understanding of Martial Arts, the more Xu Qing felt the urge to fully integrate his Divine Soul into his physical body, to achieve a complete Spirit and Body Integration.

Xu Qing suppressed this impulse, but it sparked a thought in his mind.

If faced with an extremely dangerous moment, wouldn’t the complete integration of Divine Soul into the body, transforming Spirit into Qi, be a method for the extreme deployment of combat power in a short time?

Using the Spirit to transform Qi, refining the Divine Soul in reverse.

If it were before, he would find it difficult to control the Qi transformed from the reversed Divine Soul, but in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, such concerns do not exist.

Moreover, reversing the Divine Soul and transforming it into Lifebound Essence Qi would definitely enhance the power of the Innate Finger.

"Martial Arts is ultimately a path of life-and-death struggle; when encountering difficulties, the first thought is to overcome. The Path of Divine Soul emphasizes preserving life as the main goal; when facing difficulties, there is a tendency to consider how to evade them. These are two different routes." From this, Xu Qing thought of people like the Luo Sect Master, who focused on Divine Soul Cultivation and truly prioritized survival.

While King Lin emphasized combat, direct confrontation.

Win the fight and level up.

Xu Qing had the bronze mirror, successfully practicing Dual Cultivation of Life and Spirit, emphasizing seeking fortunes and avoiding disasters. Fight if possible, run if not, not stubbornly headstrong.

After gaining a deeper understanding of his current state, Xu Qing shook his body, and all kinds of grime left him, leaving his physique brimming with vitality, exuding a fresh and fragrant aroma.

Right now, his flesh and blood were like the meat of Tang Seng and Ginsengfruit to demons, beneficial with just a single bite.

Even for human Evil Cultivators, it had a great nourishing effect.

Thus, pursuing Immortality without cultivating Divine Skills would not protect one’s "life," only serving as food for others.

Xu Qing even suspected that those who first practiced Cultivation didn’t place much emphasis on developing Divine Skills and thus suffered greatly, leading to the varied Divine Skills in later generations.

Or perhaps it was in pursuit of flesh and blood from other Demon Beasts and fierce animals, constantly strengthening themselves, that led to the appearance of Divine Skills and Magic Artifacts.

Life is short, even for a Ghost Immortal reincarnated across three lifetimes, after which they would wholly obliterate their original self. With a finite existence seeking the infinite Dao, no matter what is done, it is impossible to avoid the conclusive handful of yellow soil.

The existence of the Daoist lineage is precisely for this.

To ensure that the torch of life passes on, incessantly.
