Chapter 350: The Crucible of Heaven and Earth (Part )
Yaksha City.
All the invading Tarot people became slaves.
The total population is no more than 100 million, a number that the Tarot people have only achieved after wandering in the void for hundreds of years and trying their best to reproduce.
They will work with hoes and pickaxes in the mines for three years. After washing away the hatred in their hearts with sweat, they will become student servants of the Royal Cardinal Palace of the Western Chu Empire, devoting their wisdom wholeheartedly to contribute to the research of more advanced and more powerful war equipment for the Western Chu Empire in the future.
Although they annihilated the remaining hunting army on Tarot Star.
But every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. The main culprit of all this is the Yaksha people. The hunting army was indeed the main force that slaughtered the Tarot people and destroyed their entire home planet tribe.
With this thought in mind, Xing Tianli no longer had the intention of completely destroying the Tarot people.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts." Xing Tianli sat cross-legged on the smooth golden brick floor of a hall and sighed, "After all, I am still soft-hearted. However, these Tarot people can't make any big waves, so just keep a close eye on them."
Xiang Liang, the leader of the Black Sun Sect, the three women Liu Xie, Liu Yan, and Liu Jing, the ten elders including Wu Jia, as well as Xiang Yu who was called over from Chu Jing, and nearly a hundred young men from Jiuzhou who had performed extremely well in their comprehension, aptitude, character, and morals in the past year, sat cross-legged in an orderly manner opposite Xing Tianli, staring at him with wide eyes.
No one knew what Xing Tianli asked them to do.
Judging from the posture, is he going to preach?Xing Tianli shook his head, took a deep breath, and clapped his hands. More than a hundred vital points in his body vibrated in unison, accompanied by a faint feeling of emptiness. A hundred or so bronze tripods about ten feet high, accompanied by bursts of brilliant light, poured out of his body.
These bronze tripods have three legs and two ears, and are green in color and colorful. There are designs of mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, insects, fish, and even patterns of many legendary mythical beasts and birds on the tripod body. There are also patterns of people from the nine provinces fishing, hunting, farming, reading, and reproducing as decorations.
All the lines are delicate and lifelike.
On the small tripod, there is an imprint of a mythical beast, even one as small as a sesame seed. The details are straight, the scales are vivid, and it is like a living thing, running and playing freely in the mountains and jungles. If you stare at it intently for a long time, you can even faintly hear the long chanting sound of the mythical beast.
Such a rare treasure.
The leader of the Black Sun Cult was knowledgeable. After all, she had lived for thousands of years and was the leader of a cult with a complete inheritance. She exclaimed, "Is this the Jiuzhou Ding? Er, that's not right. How could there be so many Jiuzhou Ding?"
Xing Tianli smiled and said, "Their master copy is the Jiuzhou Ding. However, I have integrated the nine strands of the Jiuzhou Ding's essence into my own Tongtian Ding, and I cannot take them out. So, they can only be regarded as...imitations of the Jiuzhou Ding, right?"
“It lacks some of the magic, but the effect is still the same.”
Xing Tianli waved his hand to stop Liu Jing, who was red-faced and reeking of alcohol, from asking questions. He said in a deep voice, "I know you have always been curious about why I can practice in the Dharma Ending Age on Tailan Star and the Absolute Spiritual Age on Yaksha Star, and even mobilize the Primordial Qi to help outsiders practice."
Xing Tianli threw a big stone into a small tripod about ten feet in size.
The sound of wind and fire in the cauldron was loud, bronze divine light surged, wisps of bronze witch flames rose, wrapped around the big stone and burned it. The big stone was quickly annihilated, tracing back to its origin, and turned into wisps of the purest primordial Qi that spewed out from the mouth of the cauldron.
The primordial Qi was so thick that it turned into a liquid white mist visible to the naked eye, like milk, and gushed out from the mouth of the cauldron.
"This, this, this..."
The young men didn't understand what was going on, but Xiang Liang, the Black Sun Sect leader and other masters were all shocked and jumped in fear - to return acquired things to their original nature, to transform stubborn stones back into the innate primordial Qi that constitutes the heaven and the earth... this, this, this... is this something a human, or rather, is this something that an ordinary cultivator can do?
A 'saint' is just like this, right?
Xing Tianli's true realm is only Taiyi. How can he do what only a 'sage' can do?
"There's something strange about your technique!" Wu Ding, the one who was most proficient in the many secret techniques of the Wu Hall among the ten elders, tore at his long beard and said in a deep voice, "It's because of your technique... This tripod is also a 'virtual treasure' condensed by your technique, not a 'real treasure'... Because of your technique, you have achieved what only a saint can do with your Taiyi cultivation."
"I was able to do it when I was just practicing." Xing Tianli said seriously: "This technique, 'One Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth', can allow a young cultivator who refines essence into qi to do the same things as me as long as he has a small cauldron to start with... A young cultivator who refines essence into qi can do the same things as a saint."
Everyone was stunned and looked at Xing Tianli speechless.
"Today, I will teach you this technique... Only if you have endured the... well, let's call it the 'Furnace of Heaven and Earth' that I have cultivated, can you obtain this fundamental technique and enjoy its infinite mysteries."
"Even if I get this fundamental law, in a cultivation world with abundant spiritual energy and countless resources, it has little meaning and is of little use."
"But this fundamental law is designed to deal with the end of the world, the end of the soul, or many other worlds that are different from our own... For example, a Taoist cultivator is trapped in the netherworld, surrounded by the aura of the netherworld. Can a successful immortal really kill himself and turn to the ghost way?"
"With this fundamental law, everything will be fine."
Xing Tianli waved his hand lightly, and more than a hundred small tripods slid forward gently. In front of each person, there was one quietly floating.
“Of course, these small tripods will become your natal tripods… and they are made from my natal essence, blood, and magic power.” Xing Tianli looked at everyone present very seriously: “That is to say, after practicing this fundamental method, you, and the natal tripods that you will pass on to your disciples in the future…”
After hesitating for a while, Xing Tianli considered his wording.
"From now on, you and your disciples will probably not disobey me."
He quickly added: "Of course, I am not that kind of evil and harsh cultivator, and I will not let you do anything to hurt me..."
Before Xing Tianli finished speaking, he saw Liu Xie, Liu Yan, and Liu Jing slap the small tripod with a heartless slap. The small tripod turned into a stream of light and went into their brows. The next moment, the sound of Taoism floated out of their bodies. The immortal soul that Xing Tianli placed on the small tripod was teaching them the mysteries of the fundamental method of "One Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth" bit by bit.
"Ha ha ha." Liu Xie, the most unrestrained of the three women, laughed loudly and clapped her hands, making a thunderous sound: "Compared to the benefits, what's the point of listening to you? Aren't we all listening to you now?"
The three women had the same idea, and six white little hands waved at the same time. With a loud bang, the palace built by the Yaksha people with huge stones collapsed. Countless huge stones collapsed and were swept up by a ray of bronze witch light from the eyebrows of the three women. All the huge stones were swept into their first natal tripod.
The cultivation of the three women is much stronger than that of Xing Tianli, who had just started to practice the fundamental law.
With a light shout from them, enormous witchcraft power surged within their bodies, and with the huge rocks from the outside world continuously providing them with the primordial Qi, they saw traces of mysterious runes constantly flowing beneath their fair skin. Their witchcraft power made a 'clattering' sound like the tide, and then there was a 'clang' sound, like the loud noise of an anvil hitting another.
The Black Sun leader and his entourage stared at the three women in amazement.
In just a few breaths, they forcibly opened up 72 life points in their bodies, used the natal cauldron as the seed, and used their own blood, essence and magic power to condense 72 "furnaces of heaven and earth" in an instant.
Their magic power is being compressed madly.
According to the fundamental law of "A Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth", the three women practiced extremely profound witchcraft, and their witchcraft power was also extremely refined and super-grade witchcraft power.
However, as the newly-born furnaces of heaven and earth began to burn, the magic powers of the three women seemed so weak and contained so many impurities… Wisps of gray mist continued to pour out from their heads. The total amount of magic power in their bodies was rapidly decreasing, and the volume of magic power was madly compressing. However, the purity of their magic power increased to an incredible level in just a quarter of an hour.
The Black Sun leader shouted softly, and she pointed her finger and said in a deep voice: "Use your normal strength, pure witchcraft power, to compete."
The leader of the Black Sun Cult pressed her palm on the gold brick on the ground, directly extracted some metal material from the gold brick, and kneaded it into a dagger made of ordinary iron on the spot. She wrapped the dagger with her own magic power and slowly stabbed it towards Liu Lu.
Liu Xie also performed according to the law. She also wrapped a common iron sword with her own magic power and gently touched the Black Sun Sect Leader. The two common iron weapons collided, and the magic power wrapped on the dagger of the Black Sun Sect Leader was like frost under the scorching sun, and was destroyed in an instant. With a crisp sound of "bang", the dagger in her hand was shaken into a piece of iron slag.
"Thank you, my lord." The Black Sun leader smiled.
She placed one hand on the small tripod in front of her, allowing it to be absorbed into her own spiritual palace, and refined with her soul, turning it into her natal tripod. As the sound of Taoism came, she instantly understood the essence of "A Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth".
She is a senior Taiyi-level existence, and her strength is more than ten thousand times stronger than those three women.She heard the witch power in her body surging like a tsunami, and bits of bronze divine light flickered under the vital points on the Black Sun leader's body. In the space of a breath, she followed the fundamental method and forcibly opened up 129,600 vital points.
In each vital point, a sesame-seed-sized 'Furnace of Heaven and Earth' quickly took shape, and dense bronze witch flames enveloped the entire body of the Black Sun leader. Not only her witch power, but also her witch soul, her witch body, and even her most important witch bloodline, began to be madly tempered.
"This! Impossible!" The Black Sun leader's magic power and blood essence had just been tempered. She suddenly opened her eyes and screamed like a mad woman. Then, without caring about her decency or the fact that she was already thousands of years old, she danced wildly.
"Five Elements Heavenly Witch, Five Elements Heavenly Witch... I have actually condensed the blood of the Five Elements Heavenly Witch!" The Black Sun Cult leader yelled at Xing Tianli like a madman: "My Lord, this fundamental method can actually enhance and condense the blood of my witch clan?"
Xing Tianli smiled and took a deep breath.
His body began to swell, and in an instant it expanded to a height of about a hundred feet.
Wisps of chaotic energy gushed out from the vital points all over his body, and the chaotic energy condensed into long dragons, with two hanging on his ears, one wrapped around his neck, one in each arm, one wrapped around each leg, and two under his feet.
The long dragons of chaos were swallowing up and down unsteadily, and terrifying auras of the Great Dao were gathering momentum in each dragon's body, giving the Black Sun Cult leader and the others an inexplicable feeling that they might be crushed at any time.
"I have already condensed 810 Dao fruits. The power of my bloodline has been upgraded from Xingtian bloodline to Five Elements Heavenly Witch, from Five Elements Heavenly Witch to Twelve Origin Little Pangu, and from Little Pangu to Pangu bloodline... When I condense 3,000 Dao fruits and condense 3,000 great powers into one, that will be the real 'Pangu Holy Blood'."
Xing Tianli said in a deep voice: "I don't know how difficult it is to prove the truth with strength, but I am obviously walking on the most correct thoroughfare... This road was opened up for us by the saints working together!"
The leader of the Black Sun Cult looked at Xing Tianli's powerful body with great fascination, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.
She didn't covet Xing Tianli's beauty.
She was simply envious of this powerful body.
For any witch, no matter if he or she is a man or a woman, the obsession with power is engraved in their bones, branded in their blood, and integrated into their witch soul… Xing Tianli has condensed the body of Pangu, which has 810 Dao fruits. For these witches, it is their goal, their dream, and the ultimate answer to what they have been pursuing for a lifetime.
The Black Sun leader was drooling.
The three women were also drooling.
Xiang Liang, Wu Jia and the others were also drooling. Without saying a word, they pressed their hands directly on the small tripod in front of them.
As their life points were opened up one after another, the auras of Xiang Liang, Wu Jia and the others first rapidly collapsed, and then expanded wildly… Just like the Black Sun Sect leader, after they had thoroughly comprehended this fundamental method, they also condensed the Five Elements Heavenly Witch bloodline… According to the difference in aptitude, the difference between them was only a cup of tea.
But after condensing the Five Elements Heavenly Witch bloodline, the qualifications of all of them were on the same starting line.
Their future achievements have nothing to do with their physical qualifications, but depend on their understanding, wisdom and luck.
After a long time, the group of people stopped practicing, and they all smiled like second-rate people who had just picked up a gold ingot on the street. It was not until this time that Xiang Yu and other young people who had just started practicing recovered from the terrible pressure and regained the strength to act.
They knew that this was a great fortune. Didn’t they see that the Black Sun leader and the others were so excited?The young men could not wait to fuse their natal cauldrons, and began their first practice of circulation according to the fundamental method. Their faces quickly turned pale, and their thin blood essence barely extracted a wisp of magic power before it became weak.
Xing Tianli shook his head, and the magical power of mediation and creation was activated in the Nine Tongtian Cauldrons. A large number of centuries-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other precious medicines poured out like a tide. After being broken by him, they were transformed into thick medicinal mist with witchcraft and quickly injected into the bodies of Xiang Yu and others.
How pitiful.
The power of the thousand-year-old medicine is so strong that even ordinary earthly and celestial immortals have to be careful in serving it. Xing Tianli directly injected it into the bodies of these young men!
The bodies of the hundreds of young men suddenly swelled up like balls, their blood vessels almost bursting, and they wailed under the heavy pressure. But with Xing Tianli and others around, they couldn't even explode if they wanted to.
With the huge witchcraft power suppressing them from outside, the bodies of Xiang Yu and others quickly returned to normal. The powerful medicinal power quickly transformed into essence and blood, and was then refined into witchcraft power bit by bit.
Tiny little tripods formed in their bodies, their witchcraft power burned, tempered their blood essence, and allowed their bloodline to evolve continuously. The powerful bloodline madly devoured the medicinal power of the thousand-year-old precious medicine, quickly transforming into a purer and more powerful blood essence, and then into a more condensed and deeper witchcraft power...
The essence, blood and witchcraft power merged and transformed into wisps of mist that flowed into the Lingtai Purple Palace.
As a result, the spirits of a hundred or so young men began to transform into witch souls, becoming more powerful and more mysterious. Strange spiritual light corresponding to their bloodlines continued to emerge in their spiritual purple palaces.
The perfect inner cycle is completed.
Huge rocks flew in from afar and were continuously swallowed by the furnace of heaven and earth in Xiang Yu and the others' bodies.
With their efforts, the first ray of primordial Qi was finally transformed... From then on, as long as there was material in the outside world, they would no longer have to worry about the resources for cultivation.
Of course, once they have realized the magical power of 'mediating destiny' engraved on the first natal tripod, they will no longer be poor in this life... When they are short of money, they will have a mountain of gold at their fingertips!
Xing Tianli looked at these young men who had embarked on the right path of cultivation with a smile.
He seemed to see seeds growing vigorously and sprouting strong seeds... This feeling was really wonderful.
Especially on this Yaksha star, in this spiritual place, such a strange sprout actually grew. Xing Tianli couldn't help but sigh: "Look at this Yaksha star, the metal ore reserves are so huge, the metal properties are so strong, this planet should not be such a spiritual place, I don't know what went wrong... Alas!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Xiang Yu, who was the first to complete his first practice, let out a long breath. This was the first breath that Xiang Yu exhaled from the acquired small world in his body into the innate big world of Yaksha Star after his successful practice.
This ordinary long breath, as soon as it touched the outside air, suddenly turned into wisps of purple air, rising rapidly, and then quickly surging in all directions.
The sky is shaking.
The earth trembled slightly.
Thick blue-gray clouds gathered from all directions, slowly but with great determination. Little by little, these clouds gathered over Yaksha City, and then, a small number of extremely heavy and condensed dark yellow auras fell from the sky like meteorites.
Ninety percent of the Xuanhuang Qi was integrated into Xingtianli's body.
One tenth of the Xuanhuang Qi was given to the boy Xiang Yu.
