Chapter 103 - 101: Consecutive Breakthroughs

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis Complete]

[Underworld Seal: After a City God is enfeoffed, they are branded with an Underworld Seal. One who holds the Book of Life and Death or the Divine Emperor’s Jade Seal can control any City God marked with this seal.]

Wang Xiao’s eyes twitched slightly as he read the lines of text before him.

No wonder the City God gradually lost its humanity after being enfeoffed, becoming a lapdog for the Royal Family.

So it was all because of this Underworld Seal!

As he pondered this,

the Underworld Seal slowly began to drift toward the Incense within his body.

The next moment,

the Incense started to swirl and spin. A faint, almost imperceptible wisp of thought, nearly one with the Incense itself, was gradually drawn out by the Underworld Seal.

Then, this wisp of thought slowly merged into the Underworld Seal.

However,

after absorbing the wisp of thought, the Underworld Seal seemed to have been worn down slightly, growing dimmer and dimmer.

"You—you actually devoured the City God? Are you insane?!"

Just as Wang Xiao was sensing the changes within his body,

the burly man beside him stared with wide eyes, his face a mask of astonishment.

A human’s Divine Soul is unique.

If it enters another’s Divine Soul, they will only clash.

In severe cases, it could even obliterate one’s own Divine Soul. There are no benefits, only harm!

He never expected that the young man before him would devour the City God’s Yin Spirit without the slightest hesitation.

Was he insane?!

Wang Xiao looked at the burly man and said,

"It wasn’t bad. The City God tasted pretty good. If you ever have to kill another one, be sure to bring me along."

The burly man shook his head.

"I thought we of Quanxing were crazy enough, but I never expected you to be even crazier. The Sect Leader will be delighted to see you."

With that,

he took a Talisman from his robes and handed it to Wang Xiao.

"It’s about time for me to leave. This is a Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman. If you want to contact me, come to Yangzhou City and just activate it."

Wang Xiao took it and nodded. "Alright."

The burly man turned to leave. After a few steps, he looked back at Wang Xiao.

"My name is Yan Chiyang. What’s yours?"

"Wang Chongyang."

"Alright, I’ll remember you!"

After Yan Chiyang left,

Wang Xiao turned his attention back to his Dantian.

An unconcealable excitement showed on his face.

It was as if he had discovered some rare and exotic treasure!

’So, this is the gift Ning Xiaodie left for me?’

Wang Xiao was inwardly thrilled.

At this moment,

the City God’s Yin Spirit he had devoured had already been converted into the purest form of Spiritual Energy by his Ghost Infant body.

This Spiritual Energy could directly enhance his Spirit, significantly reducing his Cultivation time.

Beyond that, something even more astonishing had occurred.

Under the pull of the Underworld Seal, the wisp of thought from the Tier Seven Life hidden within the Incense had been drawn out!

Through his analysis, Wang Xiao had discovered that the ball of Incense he now controlled had transformed into extremely pure Faith Willpower.

He could even refine it to strengthen his Yin Spirit!

’This is like killing two birds with one stone. I devour the City God’s Yin Spirit to obtain pure Spiritual Energy and the Underworld Seal, then use the Underworld Seal to draw out the wisp of thought from the Tier Seven Life, which in turn allows me to refine the Incense!’

’This will save me a huge amount of time in my Spiritual Cultivation and be a massive help for my future Limit Breaking!’

Wang Xiao didn’t know if this was the gift Ning Xiaodie had left for him.

But regardless of whether it was or not,

this discovery was incredibly important to him!

’Ning Xiaodie seems to have left me two gifts. If the City God was one of them, where is the other?’

’Only the Ghost King on the seventh floor of the Exorcism Tower knows the answer. It seems I’ll have to find a chance to talk to her.’

’But for now, I should focus on refining the City God’s Yin Spirit and the Incense in my body. Maybe it can help me break through to the Inner Scene Realm!’

Without further hesitation, Wang Xiao drove the Spiritual Energy, converted from the City God’s Yin Spirit in his Dantian, into his Mud Ball Palace.

RUMBLE!

The next moment,

his Mud Ball Palace began to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

A brilliant light suddenly burst forth from between Wang Xiao’s eyebrows!

Immediately after,

his Mud Ball Palace began to dissipate, gradually collapsing and turning into a stretch of nothingness.

This Land of Nothingness grew vaster and vaster, as if it had merged with Heaven and Earth itself!

Wang Xiao felt as if his Yin Spirit was about to dissolve within it.

He immediately became alert, infusing the Power of Incense and Candlelight into his Yin Spirit to stabilize it.

Then, he separated a small amount of Incense and slowly merged it into this Land of Nothingness.

A few breaths later,

a sharp glint flashed through Wang Xiao’s eyes, and the light from his Forehead Mud Ball Palace gradually receded.

At that moment,

if one were to look inside his Mud Ball Palace, they would find that the palace within had vanished.

In its place was a Land of Nothingness.

However,

though it was called a Land of Nothingness, it seemed to encompass all of Heaven and Earth.

The scenery within it seemed to change unpredictably according to Wang Xiao’s will.

’The Inner Scene... I’ve done it!’

Wang Xiao’s eyes shone brightly. Sensing the changes in his Mud Ball Palace, he let out a long sigh of relief.

The bottleneck that should have taken at least ten years to overcome, he had broken through in just a few breaths.

Such were the benefits brought by the Incense and the City God’s Yin Spirit!

Now,

with his Inner World, Wang Xiao could connect with Heaven and Earth and sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism.

’Within Heaven and Earth, there are various types of spiritual mechanisms, suitable for humans, demons, evils, and ghosts.’

’Humans absorb the Spiritual Qi from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism.’

’However, because the Cultivators of this world cannot sense Spiritual Qi on their own, they must rely on the power of Magical Treasures as an intermediary to draw the qi into their bodies.’

’Now that I have an Inner World, I can skip that step and directly absorb Spiritual Qi. This is the true essence of the first Limit Breaking: Qi Absorption and Grain Avoidance!’

Wang Xiao carefully comprehended this while simultaneously activating a Magic Technique he had long since researched, using his Inner World to slowly draw the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth into his body.

RUMBLE!

In an instant,

Wang Xiao’s body began to tremble violently, as if every cell was cheering in exultation.

Impurities within his body were frantically expelled by the Spiritual Qi, forming a layer of filth that Wang Xiao then shook off and dispersed.

Wang Xiao felt a lightness in both his body and soul, as if he had undergone a sublimation.

At the same time, his Divine Thought could now radiate out for a full 200,000 li, covering an area nearly equivalent to half a province.

A single punch, using purely his physical strength, could unleash at least ten thousand tons of force.

’It’s a shame that the Spiritual Qi I’ve absorbed isn’t enough to support me in Qi Cultivation into Gang for the second Limit Breaking!’

Wang Xiao let out a breath.

Still,

this was already an excellent result.

He had broken through from the Divine Travel Realm to the Inner Scene Realm, and then to the first level of Limit Breaking, all at once.

His master, Shou Chengzi, had taken a full one hundred and fifty years to reach this Realm.

And he had done it in just nine short years!

’It seems I’ll have to cooperate more with those people from Quanxing in the future. At the very least, I need to get the method for separating the Incense from a City God. Otherwise, I really have no way of devouring them.’

Wang Xiao mused to himself.

He looked toward the Dragon Palace in the distance, and with a flash, he flew straight toward it.

Now,

having broken through to the first level of Limit Breaking, he should have no problem protecting himself as long as he didn’t run into a Tribulation Crossing Zhenren.

Since he was already at the Dragon Palace, he definitely had to make a big score!
