Chapter 139: This is the Profound Radiance State! (Fourth Update)

~13 min read 2,506 words

On the way to the Transportation Department, Xu Qing passed by the Sixth Peak shop that had tried to harm him that day. At the entrance of this shop, Xu Qing's footsteps paused for a moment.

Almost the moment he paused, following the awe of the surrounding crowd, the shopkeeper and clerks in the shop had their expressions change drastically as never before, running out quickly and kneeling down trembling.

"Paying respects to the Senior."

Xu Qing looked at the shopkeeper in front of him coldly and said nothing.

Cold sweat dripped from the shopkeeper's forehead onto the ground, and his back was thoroughly soaked. At this moment, his heart was filled with extreme panic.

The feeling of a life-and-death crisis was incomparably intense.

He couldn't dream that this Xu Qing had actually reached Foundation Establishment... Before, what he feared was the Second Prince of the Seventh Peak; he hadn't paid much attention to Xu Qing.

After all, as a shopkeeper, he was a follower of Deacon Xianyun of the Sixth Peak. Few disciples at the mountain base dared to move him, but if the other party was also Foundation Establishment... he didn't think his master would fall out with a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same level because of him.

At this moment, amidst his trembling, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and left this place.

Until he was gone, the shopkeeper slumped there, feeling that he had turned around between life and death.

Xu Qing didn't kill him because it was a bit expensive.

In addition, he didn't want to alert the enemy. After all, he had long ago dug out the Daoist Xianyun behind the other party from the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor, and even carved it on his own bamboo slip.

But he hadn't found an opportunity yet.

At this moment, putting this matter aside, Xu Qing also finally knew why he hadn't encountered many Foundation Establishment cultivators at the mountain base before; it was because the appearance of Foundation Establishment caused too much of a stir.

Wherever he went, countless gazes gathered.

Unless it was a person who was high-profile by nature, otherwise, this state would make people feel extremely uncomfortable, especially since Xu Qing liked to walk in the darkness. Being watched by so many people made him unable and unwilling to adapt.

In fact, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Seventh Peak were all gloomy people who had killed their way out from the mountain base, so naturally, they didn't like this either.

"What do others do?" Xu Qing pondered, and a guess faintly appeared in his heart.

While pondering, Xu Qing accelerated all the way, rushing straight to the Transportation Department. On the way, he had already sent a voice transmission to Zhang San to inquire, and the other party had replied that he was in the Transportation Department.

Thus, when Xu Qing arrived at the Transportation Department, he saw Zhang San in a gray Daoist robe from afar, and beside him, the Captain, who had already grown his lower body and was also wearing a gray Daoist robe.

The handymen working in the Transportation Department couldn't feel anything different about these two, but Xu Qing's perception was far stronger than before after his Foundation Establishment. At a glance, he saw that both of them had advanced to Foundation Establishment, only that they were both concealing their aura.

At this moment, they were squatting on sandbags, one smoking a pipe and the other eating an apple. The sunlight fell on them, reflecting some brilliant colors on their gray Daoist robes.

Xu Qing's arrival attracted their attention. Especially noticing Xu Qing's purple Daoist robe, the Captain's face revealed pride, while Zhang San sighed.

"You lost." The Captain spoke happily to Zhang San.

Zhang San took out a spirit stone and gave it to the Captain.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing had confirmation of his previous guess about Foundation Establishment cultivators descending the mountain.

"Xu Qing, why did you put on the purple robe? Unless it's a major event, Foundation Establishment cultivators on our Seven Blood Eyes mountain don't wear purple robes. It's too conspicuous."

Zhang San smiled honestly, his face full of intimacy. Even though he had reached Foundation Establishment, he still couldn't forget Xu Qing's cruelty in the grand competition, so his attitude was very enthusiastic, and he also told Xu Qing the reason why he and the Captain didn't wear purple robes.

"You should change it quickly after you go back. Also, don't always live on the mountain. How lonely it is on the mountain! Have you noticed that there are actually not many Foundation Establishment cultivators living on the mountain? Let me tell you, these gloomy people mostly wear gray robes and hide at the mountain base, concealing their aura. The main city here is prosperous and lively; how convenient it is."

Xu Qing nodded seriously.

As for the Captain, he looked at Xu Qing with a smile and spoke.

"Xu Qing, you might have encountered Foundation Establishment cultivators wearing gray robes before, only you didn't know it yourself. Not many people on our Seventh Peak fly around in purple all day like Deacon Li, but he only did that after following Elder Zhao. As for Zhang Yunshi, that's a work requirement; I heard he just likes receiving newcomers."

"In addition..." The Captain said this, took a big bite of the apple, and coughed.

"Deputy Chief Xu, when are you going to pay back the ten thousand spirit stones you owe this Chief?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing glanced at the Captain. The fluctuations on the other party's body, viewed with his current Foundation Establishment cultivation, were the same as before; both were unfathomable.

"Chief?" Xu Qing asked.

"That's right. After I returned, I was appointed as the Chief of the Homicide Department. Deputy Chief Xu, you need to hurry up and earn spirit stones; this Chief has been a bit tight on cash recently."

Pride appeared on the Captain's face. Looking at Xu Qing, he seemed to want to see Xu Qing's envy.

"Congratulations, Captain." Xu Qing swept a glance at the Captain's complete body. This time, without the other party's reminder, he responded.

"Haha, Deputy Chief Xu, if you chat like this, this Chief will be happy. However, I have to correct you; you need to call me Chief."

"Okay, Captain." Xu Qing nodded.

"Chief!" The Captain took a fierce bite of the apple and corrected.

"En." Xu Qing nodded, took three big apples from his pocket, and gave one to the Captain and one to Zhang San.

Zhang San smiled and spoke.

"You two stop arguing. Xu Qing, I've finished refining your Dharma Boat. I'll take you to see it in a while. Sigh, the fact that the three of us could return smoothly after Foundation Establishment, thinking about it, it really feels like a lifetime ago."

"I didn't expect that I, Zhang San, would also become Foundation Establishment. After the grand competition ended, many people were Foundation Establishment. Ding Xiaohai succeeded in Foundation Establishment in the sect some time ago." Zhang San sighed with emotion.

"You say, is he stupid? Others fight to get rich, he fights for a broken core disciple status, and as a result, he reached Foundation Establishment just after getting it. The core status was for nothing." The Captain ate the big apple Xu Qing gave him, his face full of disbelief.

"You two shouldn't be like this. Deputy Chief Xu is fine; this guy only cares about getting rich, he won't get hot-headed. Zhang San, you have to be careful."

"Let me tell you, I've been pondering a big plan recently. I'm currently collecting information. Once I've sorted it out, I'll take you to do a super big job. This time it's even more exciting than the Ju Ying flesh."

When the Captain said this, he put on a mysterious look, madness jumping in his eyes.

Zhang San was immediately vigilant, and Xu Qing was also guarded in his heart.

"What kind of expression is that on you two?" The Captain stared.

"I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to collect information. Wait until I've got it ready. However, your cultivation is too weak. You must form a Life Fire as quickly as possible and possess the ability to activate the Profound Radiance State, otherwise, you won't be able to participate in my plan." The Captain said, standing up.

"What exactly is the Profound Radiance State?" Xu Qing asked. After his Foundation Establishment, what he saw and heard most was this Profound Radiance State. Although he understood its theory, he had never seen it.

Zhang San also looked at the Captain curiously. Clearly, he only had a half-understanding of this as well. After all, when he was Qi Condensation before, he had even less contact with Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Want to know?" The Captain swept a glance at Xu Qing and Zhang San and smiled.

"Fine, for the sake of you two being my future teammates, I'll tell you about it. You know why I went to get the Ju Ying flesh? Because after swallowing enough flesh and blood of that kind of divine creature, it can instantly force open many Dharma Apertures in a cultivator's body, allowing me to form a Life Fire."

"So, I won't explain what the Profound Radiance State is. I'll show you."

As the Captain spoke, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly erupted from his body. This sound was like a sudden explosion of heavenly thunder. While roaring in all directions, an incomparably terrifying fluctuation suddenly erupted from his body.

Xu Qing's expression changed. His body retreated rapidly, his eyes staring tightly at the Captain in front. A sense of shock surfaced rapidly in his eyes.

At this moment, inside the Captain's body, it was as if a huge furnace had suddenly appeared and been ignited. Waves of hot power erupted from his body. As it roared and spread in all directions, the strength of the fluctuations on his body was actually instantly blessed by several times or more.

His body even seemed to have turned into a fire man, with a heaven-shaking phantom behind him, making people feel a faint stinging sensation in their eyes just by looking at it, and even the surroundings were distorted.

His body also moved suddenly at this instant.

Xu Qing could only see a blurred shadow appear. In an instant, he felt his mind roaring, and the intense life-and-death crisis made him instinctively retreat at full speed, but it was still too late.

The Captain's body had arrived directly beside him, his right hand placed in front of him.

In his hand, there was a hair of Xu Qing's, which was currently twisting rapidly under high temperature and turning into fly ash.

Xu Qing's pupils shrank violently. The Captain on the side had the furnace in his body extinguished in an instant, and the whole person returned to normal, smiling at Xu Qing.

"Deputy Chief Xu, if I wanted to kill you just now, at this moment... you would already be dead."

Xu Qing's breathing was rapid, and he didn't speak, but a monstrous wave had already been set off in his heart. His previous understanding of the Profound Radiance State was all from oral accounts and jade slip descriptions. Seeing it for real now, the feeling was incomparably intense.

At that instant just now, the feeling the Captain gave him was invincible.

"Of course, I am a genius. Others won't be as powerful as me when they open the Profound Radiance State, but you still won't be able to beat them, because the Profound Radiance State is a super eruption of the Dharma Apertures in the body. At that moment, the Foundation Establishment cultivator's techniques and physical body will reach the extreme. Although it cannot last long, it is barely enough for killing or escaping."

The Captain spoke proudly.

"The Profound Radiance State can only be countered by a cultivator who is also in the Profound Radiance State."

"And a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has not opened the Profound Radiance State is just a walking chicken."

"So, Little Ah Qing, don't be led astray in your understanding of Foundation Establishment by the walking chickens you have seen before."

"You have to work hard. Remember to give me the twenty thousand spirit stones you owe me quickly."

As the Captain spoke, he smiled and ate the apple, walking toward the distance. In a few steps, he stepped into the air and turned into a long rainbow. His target was not the mountain peak, but still the Homicide Department.

Xu Qing was silent, looking at the Captain's departing figure. At this moment, his sense of crisis was stronger than ever, and his heart was full of urgency. He had to open his Dharma Apertures as quickly as possible. He had to open thirty of them at the fastest speed to form a Life Fire, thereby also possessing this Profound Radiance State!

Zhang San was also silent. After a long while, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"The Captain is a pervert... Let's go, I'll take you to see your Dharma Boat."

Xu Qing didn't speak, withdrew his gaze from the Captain's departing figure, and followed silently all the way, but the surging in his heart became more intense.

"Once I form the Life Fire, with the blessing of the Life Lamp, it will be the same as two Life Fires!"

Xu Qing took a deep breath. Amidst this full sense of urgency, he followed Zhang San to the warehouse. As the warehouse opened, a huge Dharma Boat that was somewhat familiar but more unfamiliar appeared before him.

The fifty-zhang boat body was covered with Foundation Establishment sea lizard skin, and its shape had also changed. What appeared in Xu Qing's eyes was no longer the crocodile turtle from before, but had become a sea lizard!

While the divine fluctuations were incomparably intense, the wings of the Dharma Boat from before had also changed their appearance, becoming fleshy wings growing on both sides of the sea lizard's body.

Cruelty and violence rushed toward him.

"Xu Qing, the Captain divided a small strip of Ju Ying flesh between you and me. I added it to this to replace the core power, making the Dharma Boat advance to become a real Dharma Boat! Of course, if you don't want to, you can take it off, but I think it's better to put it on the Dharma Boat. With this boat, your survival ability in the Forbidden Sea will be greatly improved!"

Little Mengxin heartlessly refused the request for a date, gritted his teeth and refused the invitation to play...

On this auspicious day
