Chapter 946: The Fourth Pillar!

The Dragon Court Immortal Island was brilliant and magnificent, with ten thousand zhang of golden light, and the sea of clouds beneath it was vast and boundless!

Fifty times!

How could it suddenly surge to such a massive extent?

Waking up from sleep, Liang Qu was first startled by the scale of his Qi Sea. He pushed open the door and window, exhaled a breath of cold air, restrained his gaze, and pondered silently.

"For an ordinary Perfected Form Grandmaster, after ten or several decades of Qi Sea gestation, the limit of its area is only twenty times that of the Heavenly Palace. I am already two and a half times that of a normal person! And the number fifty hasn't even reached the end yet! Could the Heart Fire serve as the second pillar for the Qi Sea?"

The Qi Sea is equivalent to the "blue bar" of the Perfected Form, and its size and scale are closely related to the "Heavenly Palace" within an individual's body.

According to his own personal realization.

The Sea of Clouds is the Qi Sea, and the Heavenly Palace/Dragon Court Immortal Island is the "Sea-Stabilizing" Divine Needle.

The Divine Needle can stabilize raging waves, but the "Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle" has its limits for stabilizing waves. If the limit is exceeded, the Qi Sea will become unstable, and the clusters of white clouds will collapse and dissipate into the vast void.

The reason Liang Qu was able to easily cross the twenty-fold mark before was that he believed his Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle was extraordinary, formed by the convergence of nine long Qi streams, and the quality of the Qi Sea spreading beneath it was also much higher than that of ordinary people—more "viscous," with high stickiness, naturally making it less prone to collapse.

Now, the Heart Fire seemed capable of becoming an additional auxiliary, a second secondary pillar.

With every additional pillar, the stabilization effect on the Qi Sea is completely different, and the amount of Qi Sea that can be stabilized increases geometrically!

The first stage of Perfected Form has twenty, the second stage can reach eighty, and the third stage can reach three hundred and twenty!

"Damn! No wonder Long Xiang is so fierce!" Liang Qu realized a fact with a start.

With four pillar foundations, when Zhang Zhang Longxiang became a Heaven-Human Grandmaster, the Qi Sea gestated within his body likely had a magnitude of over a thousand times!

It would be too big even for a great whale in the sea to swim inside!

Aside from the surging Sea of Clouds.

A flash of golden-fire ghostly light.

Liang Qu, who had been viewing from a bird's-eye perspective, saw his field of vision constantly narrowing and descending, thoroughly converging beneath the Immortal Island,

into the Heart Fire.

The Heart Fire fluttered.

The vast Dragon Court Immortal Island became a small world that could not be exhausted. Liang Qu inadvertently experienced the shocking feeling that the insect had felt when it first went to the Dragon Immortal Palace in the past.

Before the Heart Fire, the Immortal Island within his body was all viewed from a high dimension; now, it seemed there was more room for operation...

Constantly exploring.

The Heart Fire leaped down from the top of the Dragon Court and drifted back to the bottom of the Immortal Island. Liang Qu stood quietly before the window, returning to the world itself, looking at the three-finger-thick snow on the windowsill.

"Fire!"

Layers of heat waves surged in the air, and the rounded snow instantly melted into clear water due to the heat waves, flowing down along the icicles with a splash.

"Ice!"

The melting snow on the windowsill stopped melting; the freezing was not as fierce as the heat waves. After brewing for about half a moment, the color turned white, and under the combined action of the weather and the Heart Fire, it re-condensed into ice.

"Wind!"

A clear breeze brushed his face, and the scattered, un-stuck snowflakes drifted in the air, swirling and falling, creating a flurry of snow.

Liang Qu tested it repeatedly.

There was no component of any Myriad-Form martial art, no exercise of any Water King Ape talent; it was entirely by mental intent!

The Heart Fire was completely certain parts of the spirit being pulled out, repeatedly tempered, hammered, and condensed into something nearly semi-substantial!

Wonderful!

Extraordinarily wonderful!

Pacing in the room, Liang Qu felt that just exploring the function of the Heart Fire would take several days!

"Heart Fire, Heart Fire, is that why the Fire form is the best?"

Fire, wind, and ice—the power of the latter two could not be compared to the former at all; it was the difference between a cannon and a homemade small firecracker.

From now on, he wouldn't need to carry a flint when going out.

With a glare of his eyes, the flame would ignite spontaneously.

Creak.

The small side door was pushed open.

Sparks splashed, the candlelight was ghostly, and a small high-pole lamp in front of the door was lit, illuminating the person's face.

"Long Eying!"

Liang Qu stepped forward, picked up his woman horizontally, and felt the softness of her forearms and the long-lost weight.

It had been three days, but in his memory, too much time had passed—

"I guessed it was you when I heard movement outside the door." Long Long Eying did not resist, wrapped her arms around his neck, let her calves hang naturally, reached out and pressed on Liang Qu's chest, and rubbed across the gauze with her fingertips. "Does it hurt? Are you hungry? Shall I go make you something to eat?"

"Seems okay, the flesh is a bit itchy, it should still be growing. Hey, don't touch it, the more you touch, the itchier it gets."

"Hungry, a little, but it's fine. Whatever dish you can make, just let Otter Kai go ahead and do it."

Liang Qu weighed Long Eying, tossed her slightly, indicating that he could move without hindrance, and at the same time realized that despite such a heavy injury, he had recovered quite well. "I was almost beaten into three pieces with one punch. What kind of elixir did you give me?"

"It was Master Master Huai Kong from the Medicine Master Buddha, he came every day to chant scriptures for you, dispelling the illness for half a day."

"Every day? How long have I slept?"

"Tomorrow at the hour of the dragon, the Great Master will lecture on scriptures."

"Tomorrow?"

Liang Qu made a rough calculation.

Arrived at the Hanging Temple on the 21st, scripture lecture assembly on the 26th.

He had slept for nearly twenty hours?

Fortunately.

Although he had a big sleep, at least he didn't miss the opening.

"Who are the lecturers and repeaters?"

"There are two lecturers temporarily set for the assembly, the first five days are Daoist Ge from the Tower View Terrace, the middle five days are Master Di Xian,"

"The repeater was previously set to be you, but because it was unknown when you would wake up, Abbot Master Di Xian changed it to Master Huai Kong."

"The Great Master is indeed a Great Master, daring to let people from the Daoist sect 'ask difficulties' first." Liang Qu sighed, looked up at 6

?

"Let's go."

At midnight, waking everyone up and disrupting the established plan was definitely not a good thing.

He picked up Long Long Eying and headed toward the side room.

"A place of Buddhism, and your injuries haven't healed yet."

Familiar swallows return.

The familiar words made Liang Qu's footsteps pause, as if recalling some past events, with lingering fears, but with a flash of Heart Fire, the palpitations like the sequelae of the Six Demon Trials were all burned away.

"Hoo— nothing, no business, let's go lie on your bed."

In the time of a few words, Liang Qu had already hugged Long Eying to the bedside, reached out to probe, touched a round, hard object, like a head, pressed it hard, and sure enough, it was a head!

Wait a minute.

There was someone on the bed!

Before he could release his perception.

Whoosh.

The quilt fanned a breeze, Long Yao and Long Li poked their heads out, exhaled to blow up the hair on their foreheads, and stared at the two people under the candlelight.

Six eyes met.

"What are you doing here?" Liang Qu took the initiative.

"Why can't we be here?" Long Yao rubbed her forehead and asked back.

"Go, go, go! Go sleep somewhere else!" Liang Qu drove them away.

"Where to go in the middle of the night! We've already laid down, it's so cold outside, we're not going!"

The two turned over, wrapped themselves up, and ignored Liang Qu.

"Deduct your monthly wages!" Liang Qu used his usual trick.

"Useless, Long Eying sister pays them now, not you!"

Muffled voice.

"Alright, stop messing around!" Long Long Eying laughed, falling from Liang Qu's body. "They are used to the bed, they slept with me yesterday too. There is a small kitchen in the courtyard, shall I go make you something to eat?"

"Alright."

Sleeping for nearly two days and one night, having slept too much, Liang Qu had no sleepiness at all.

The firewood in the kitchen was lit, bursting with sparks.

While waiting for the midnight snack, he sat cross-legged in meditation, further exploring the mysteries of the Heart Fire...

At the same time.

A doubt plagued him.

"Whether Wuzhiqi—is it real or not?"

The next day.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and the ground was not yet visible.

The Wonderful Winged Bird flapped its wings and flew onto the eaves.

Xu Xu Zishuai stretched, loosened his muscles and bones, exhaled a breath of hot air, took a towel and wooden basin, and went outside the courtyard to rinse his mouth and brush his teeth. Passing by the stone path, he suddenly stopped.

The sky was purple.

Two light shadows, one big and one small, stood on the rock, their clothes and hair fluttering! ===== CHAPTER 947 =====
