Chapter 34: Goddess

【After bitter cultivation, Ripple Qigong Lv1 has been upgraded, currently: Lv2】

【Ripple Qigong Lv2: When active, slightly increases cellular activity, and slightly enhances the body's self-healing ability】

Bai Cangshu's arms were wrapped in white bandages, and the rhythm of his breathing through his nose and mouth was at times short, at times long; this special rhythmic breathing caused ripples to constantly generate within his body.

After nearly uninterrupted use of Ripple Qigong for five consecutive days, combined with the near-damaging tempering Bai Cangshu put his body through, he finally achieved an upgrade.

Bai Cangshu began to clearly feel the warm fluctuations within his body; the so-called ripples appeared within him in a tangible form for the first time.

【You have comprehended Qi Sense; you can now unlock sequences related to Martial Artist and Qigong Master】

Bai Cangshu's guess was indeed correct: the so-called "Qi" is actually a special energy produced by the body, and many breathing styles and Qigong arts share certain commonalities.

The difference lies only in the quality, quantity, and efficiency of the utilization of Qi.

For example, in Demon Slayer and JOJO Shijie, there exist breathing styles that can enhance human athletic ability and physical vitality.

The 【Qi】 of the Dragon Ball World is characterized by its vastness; powerful Martial Artists condense Qi Gong Waves, and destroying cities or even continental plates is a trivial matter, while the monsters of the later stages can destroy planets with a mere thought.

At this very moment, Bai Cangshu finally possessed the conditions to embark on that terrifying path.

Bai Cangshu unwrapped the bandages; his knuckles and the backs of his hands were covered in wounds.

In the Fist Wish World, there exist cultivation methods similar to the ancient martial arts of Dongxia; before practicing the Rakshasa Palm or techniques with terrifying destructive power like the 【Magic Spear】, one must undergo years of polishing one's own flesh.

In the cultivation of the Fox Shadow Style, one must first perform 【Water Striking】, which is to continuously strike the water in a basin with one's palm with great force, feeling the changes in the water and the changes in force.

Striking the water day and night without rest eventually makes the formless, soft water feel like iron sand, capable of rubbing the palm until it is wounded.

By utilizing this bitter cultivation, one masters the 【Twisting of Force】 and thoroughly grasps the spiral power.

Then comes 【Sand Striking】, followed by 【Stone Striking】, and finally, one can enter the realm of 【Flesh Striking】.

The so-called 【Fox Shadow Style: Rakshasa Palm】 is precisely a killing technique derived from this kind of bitter cultivation.

Coincidentally, the 【Kaiwan Style】 required for the 【Magic Spear】 is also achieved through bitter cultivation, tempering one's limbs to an inhuman degree;

Even more coincidentally, in the JOJO Shijie, 【Ripple Qigong】 also has two schools of cultivation: one is naturally the bitter and quiet cultivation of the Tibetan region, but the other is to rapidly increase the level of Ripple Qigong through extreme, destructive training of the flesh.

It was based on this understanding that Bai Cangshu purchased a large amount of iron sand to conduct his bitter cultivation.

During these five days, he seemed unable to feel pain, and in the end, he exchanged it for the rapid upgrade of his Ripple Qigong.

【Attention, Subject Ex051, you will initiate a new round of spatial transport in 1 hour; please confirm the safety of the surrounding environment in advance】

This scarlet notification appeared abruptly before Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu paused for a moment and continued applying ointment; he had about 30 minutes left of his stay in the Public Space, and it would take him about 10 minutes to return to his dormitory from here.

Therefore, his time was not tight.

Bai Cangshu leisurely packed his things and left Xiao Ning's gym, even patting the latter on the shoulder, which made Xiao Ning's face turn pale, fearing he had done something wrong.

Bai Cangshu returned to his dormitory calmly, closed the door and windows, confirmed that the bird could not enter the dormitory, checked the time, and then issued the command to return to the space to the mark on his right hand.

The Sin Mark expanded in an instant and then turned into a scarlet stream of information, engulfing Bai Cangshu. When Bai Cangshu opened his eyes again, he had returned to his Private Space, but unlike last time, his Private Space had expanded nearly twofold, changing from the original small dormitory of less than 20 square meters to a room of nearly 60 square meters.

This was the result of his Private Space devouring the other's space after he killed Evans; Bai Cangshu had returned to the space once before to check the changes in his Private Space.

Finding that Evans had only stored some food and water in his Private Space and nothing of value, Bai Cangshu took the opportunity to redesign the room, converting it into a very minimalist one-bedroom apartment.

Bai Cangshu tidied up his Backpack slightly, changed into 【Tao Baibai's Pink Robe】 and the disguise of the Ancient God's appearance, then pushed the door open to the Public Space and headed straight for the 【Goddess Residence】.

The so-called 【Eastern District Miracle Goddess Residence】 is a mysterious location above a ladder of white jade steps, behind the four major functional institutions such as the 【Alchemy Workshop】.

Bai Cangshu arrived at the entrance, where two White Jade Lions crouched in front of the Baiyu Jieti; as Bai Cangshu approached, the two lions lowered their heads, sniffed, and then spoke in human language.

"The scent of a newcomer."

"Hmm, he also has a Tribute on him; he may go up."

Both lions were over ten meters tall, exuding a sense of oppression; Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow, guessing that the so-called 【Tribute】 was likely the 【Singularity】, because the Reincarnators in the space seemed to tacitly agree that only those who possessed a 【Singularity】 could go to the Goddess Residence.

His time was tight, so he did not delay and quickly climbed the ladder, but a female voice suddenly rang out at this moment.

"In My residence, 【Time】 does not flow."

This voice, in both timbre and tone, perfectly matched Bai Cangshu's aesthetic; any sharper and it would sound piercing, any deeper and it would lack melody.

It was so perfect that just hearing this voice would make one stop in their tracks.

"Tsk, what a voice so perfect it makes one want to vomit."

Bai Cangshu evaluated it this way in his heart; he did not like things that were flawless, but he did notice that the time he spent in the Public Space was no longer passing.

Moreover, he noticed that after entering the Baiyu Jieti, he did not see any other Reincarnators, but given the number of Reincarnators in the East District, this phenomenon was clearly unreasonable; no matter how precious the Singularity was, Bai Cangshu would not be the only one using it.

Perhaps, the moment he stepped onto this Baiyu Jieti, he was already in an independent space.

"This time, it is a clever boy."

The female voice appeared again; Bai Cangshu confirmed that the other party could indeed read his thoughts. Is this the so-called Goddess...

Bai Cangshu spent about 60 heartbeats walking up the Baiyu Jieti, arriving at a huge, empty White Jade Plaza.

The surroundings seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist; occasionally, between the disturbances of the mist, one could see the azure sky and the sea of clouds.

Arriving at the center of the plaza, Bai Cangshu looked at the behemoth in the middle and sighed once more.

"This is the so-called... Goddess."

With silver hair fluttering, red eyes like blood, and skin so fair it seemed like tender jade, there was not a single flaw on her entire body; the only difference was that the other party was probably over ten meters tall, and even while floating in the air, she filled Bai Cangshu's entire field of vision.

"Why, is this appearance of Mine not Goddess-like enough?"

"According to statistics, the preference for silver hair and red eyes is the highest in the East Asian region."
