Chapter 32

Sea Opening realm.

A powerful realm that is a complete qualitative change.

It is also called the Transcending Mortal realm.

Meaning to transcend the mundane.

Because upon reaching this realm, the nature of one’s power changes.

Like in the Pulse Forging and Opening Aperture realms, one uses their own blood and qi.

But the Sea Opening realm uses true qi.

The world has primordial qi; humans open up a dantian sea, fusing primordial qi with blood and qi to transform it into higher-quality true qi.

True qi is not like blood and qi, which cannot leave the body.

In those stories, the so-called hundred-foot sword light, boundless blade radiance, and taking a head from a thousand miles away are all caused by true qi.

The Wind-Thunder Sword Art he currently used, although there would be thunder light on the sword body, was all driven by blood and qi.

And that was all.

But if it were replaced by true qi,

then he could condense real thunder and slash it out continuously.

The enemy might not even be able to get close before being suppressed and killed by the continuous thunder sword qi!

Therefore, the difference between the Opening Aperture realm and the Sea Opening realm is like heaven and earth.

Whether it is the nature of power or the fighting style.

They are no longer on the same level.

And because of this,

It is very, very difficult for an Opening Aperture warrior to defeat a Sea Opening realm expert.

Unless that Opening Aperture warrior’s foundation is terrifying enough.

“Perhaps I need to reach the ninth level of the Opening Aperture realm.”

Meng Zhangqing made a quite rational judgment in his heart.

He then withdrew his thoughts and looked at Bei Qianke’s corpse in front of him, searching it slightly.

This guy was not an ordinary warrior.

His net worth should be substantial.

It was just that after searching, he was greatly disappointed.

It was the exact opposite of what he had imagined.

So poor.

On his body, there were only a few elixirs and a secret manual.

Titled “Underworld Ghost Finger.”

A Profound-grade low-tier martial art.

After flipping through it slightly, he had even less interest.

The power was just so-so.

Not higher than the Wind-Thunder Sword Art.

There was no need to learn it at all.

“The resources might have been used up, so he came here to use evil arts to refine elixirs.”

Meng Zhangqing threw it aside.

As for the so-called Blood Refining Formation, he had even fewer thoughts about it.

Although the Yellow Springs Aperture-Ascension Pill had good medicinal power, it was an evil elixir, and there were side effects to eating it.

It also went against human nature.

During the battle, Meng Zhangqing had looked at the character panels of these people.

There was nothing particularly outstanding.

So he hadn't held back.

The thing Bei Qianke used should have been a secret artifact containing Miasma Mist; as for why he himself wasn't affected, he guessed he was already used to it.

The Miasma Mist was limited.

So by this time, it had already begun to dissipate.

Especially with the night wind blowing, it dissipated even faster.

Miasma Mist didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Therefore, those subordinates of Bei Qianke had all fallen into illusions, unable to extricate themselves, doing all kinds of strange movements in place.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Meng Zhangqing sent them to meet Bei Qianke one by one.

Kong Linxue and the other two knew the method to deal with it.

They had closed their eyes and sealed their mouths and noses early on.

So they were not affected by the Miasma Mist.

At this time, as the Miasma Mist dissipated, they all opened their eyes.

The first thing they saw was Bei Qianke lying on the ground, his head separated from his body, and a look of relief appeared on their faces.

When the Miasma Mist appeared, to be honest, Kong Linxue’s heart had tightened.

Because those with weak willpower were easily caught.

And once caught, they were like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to fight back.

Fortunately, this Junior Brother surnamed Meng had a firm will; not only was he not affected by the illusions, but he had even killed Bei Qianke while in the Miasma Mist.

This strength was truly so strong it was somewhat outrageous.

At least among the inner sect disciples, as far as she knew, almost none could compare to him.

Except for a few perverts.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Meng, for saving us. My name is Kong Linxue, a disciple of the Medicine King Peak.”

“These two are my junior sisters, Tan Mohan...”

Kong Linxue stood up with effort and said gratefully.

These words came from the bottom of her heart; if this Junior Brother Meng hadn't arrived, the three of them would likely have died.

Becoming a part of those Yellow Springs Aperture-Ascension Pills.

[Garbled text: Novel group...]

“Thank you, Junior Brother Meng.”

The two female disciples also thanked him one after another.

Strange colors flashed in their eyes.

Before, the environment was too dark, and they didn't have the energy to pay attention to what this Junior Brother Meng looked like.

Now the moonlight was bright.

Looking closely, he was exceptionally handsome.

People, after all, have a psychology of admiring the strong.

Powerful strength, handsome appearance—who could ignore that?

“Three Senior Sisters, you are welcome. We all belong to the same sect, so we should naturally help each other when outside.”

“How can we allow demonic thieves to run rampant and kill?”

Meng Zhangqing walked over and smiled slightly.

At the same time, he began to watch the character panels of the three.

To be honest, this was his first time encountering Medicine King Peak disciples.

Basic information:

[Name: Kong Linxue]

[Race: Human]

[Cultivation: Seventh level of the Opening Aperture realm]

Attribute information:

[Bone Quality: Grade 3]

[Comprehension: Medium]

[Martial Arts: “Fire-Controlling Burning Sun Technique” (Small Success), “Yuan-Transforming Hand” (Small Success)]

[Alchemy Mastery: Grade 2]

“Grade 3, it truly meets the standard of a genius.”

Meng Zhangqing nodded secretly.

However, the definition of a genius cannot be judged solely by bone quality.

It also depends on comprehension, talent, bloodline, physique, and so on.

Like the Shi brothers from before, just that Stone Man bloodline was enough to deserve the name of genius—no, it should be monster.

“Alchemy Mastery, Grade 2—does that mean a Grade 2 Alchemist?”

A bright light flashed in Meng Zhangqing’s eyes.

This was in the attribute information.

Not basic information.

It meant that if he added her as a friend, there was a chance to obtain it!

In the cultivation world,

the status of an alchemist is very high.

Every day, a large number of warriors seek to have elixirs refined.

Not to mention prestige, the wealth alone is endless.

If he could obtain this attribute from Kong Linxue and fuse it, he would directly be a Grade 2 Alchemist!

“Must add this woman as a friend!”

Meng Zhangqing looked at Kong Linxue, the light in his eyes gradually brightening.
