Chapter 379: The Xuanhuang Body

Yin Qi looked up; the lake water above was covered by mist like dark clouds, yet it was somewhat thin, as if the bronze palace here had been pierced through, causing even the clouds and mist above to become much sparser.

And this mist was precisely the drifting Mysterious Yellow Qi.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi appeared in the two colors of black and yellow, hazy and indistinct, yet it exuded an endlessly heavy feeling, as if a single wisp of mist could crush a mountain ridge, heavy enough to make one feel suffocated.

In the center of the Mysterious Yellow Qi, there was one strand of Mysterious Yellow Qi that was exceptionally brilliant, like a bright pearl.

"Mysterious Yellow Root, Mother Qi of All Things!"

A bright light flared in Yin Qi's eyes.

This was the Mysterious Yellow Root and the Mother Qi of All Things; in fact, the Primordial World also possessed such sacred objects, but they only existed at the Opening of Heaven and had been obtained by very few beings with great divine powers.

Although the Mysterious Yellow Root of the Shrouding the Heavens world could not compare to that of the Primordial World, it was likewise infinitely miraculous.

Fusing it into an 'artifact' could give that 'artifact' the foundation to transform into an Immortal Artifact.

The Mother Qi of All Things could also be used to refine Emperor Weapons.

Just at this moment, a grand voice resounded in his mind: "Obtained Mysterious Yellow Root and Mysterious Yellow Qi, Luck bestowed."

Bang!

The Human Emperor Seal shattered, seemingly unable to bear the heaviness of the Mysterious Yellow Root.

Even a single wisp was worth a fortune.

His mind was completely immersed in his Bitter Sea, grinding the broken Human Emperor Seal even further so that the shattered pieces could fully fuse with the Mysterious Yellow Root, or even become one.

Having taken the Mysterious Yellow Root, Yin Qi was not satisfied; he continued to act, using great cultivation to gather the sky-filling Mysterious Yellow Qi into a mass, roughly the size of a basketball, and sank it into his Bitter Sea.

The new Human Emperor Seal looked simple and unadorned, but hazy Mysterious Yellow Qi flowed upon it, giving one a profound and heavy feeling, unfathomable.

………

Yin Qi built a hut by the lake to live in and was in no hurry to go to the Taixuan Sect.

Yin Qi gave a low shout, and the Human Emperor Seal darted out from the Bitter Sea, submerged into the Mother Qi of All Things, and sucked the Mysterious Yellow Root in.

The Mysterious Yellow Root was like moonlight and sunbeams, very eye-catching, constantly fusing with the shattered Human Emperor Seal; under Yin Qi's control, the two gradually became indistinguishable, like a mass of Great Dao essence light.

After the two had completely fused, Yin Qi forged the artifact again, re-tempering this mass of essence light into the Human Emperor Seal.

But under Yin Qi's control, the shattered Human Emperor Seal still fused together with the Mysterious Yellow Root, flew back rapidly, and sank into his Bitter Sea.

Actually, it was fine that it had shattered; he could re-temper the Human Emperor Seal and completely integrate the Mysterious Yellow Root.

"Go!"

Yin Qi soared into the sky.

This Mysterious Yellow Qi was an Emperor-grade material; his Space Ring had no way to store it at all.

Splash!

Waves rolled, and Yin Qi rushed out of the water.

Yin Qi had a feeling that this Human Emperor Seal was as heavy as a mountain.

"Go!"

Rumble!

As the Human Emperor Seal sank, purple-gold waves surged to the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder rolled.

As the words fell, the red luck on the Luck Altar quickly rose to three zhang and seven chi.

Just by smashing it, he estimated he could smash a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm into meat paste.

"Go!"

With a thought from Yin Qi, the Human Emperor Seal rushed out of the Bitter Sea, turned into a streak of light, and crashed toward a mountain peak outside the window.

Rumble!

The Human Emperor Seal crashed into it, like a giant meteorite falling from beyond the sky, actually blasting the mountain peak apart.

For a time, sand and stones flew, scaring the surrounding wild beasts into fleeing in a scramble.

Swish!

The Human Emperor Seal turned into a streak of light and flew back, returning to the Bitter Sea, floating and sinking among the nine Life Springs.

The corners of Yin Qi's mouth curled up; he was very satisfied with the power of the Human Emperor Seal.

It was just a pity that, limited by his own cultivation, he had far from unleashed the power and potential of this Human Emperor Seal.

With his mind immersed in the Bitter Sea, Yin Qi looked at the mass of Mysterious Yellow Qi, and suddenly a thought occurred to him: "The Mysterious Yellow Qi has infinite miraculous uses; since it can be used to refine artifacts, why can't it be used to temper the physical body?"

When it came down to it, the Mysterious Yellow Qi was essentially Qi.

Even Alchemy was not impossible.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi was also known as the Mother Qi of All Things, which could evolve into various essences, such as Five Elements Essence, Sun Essence, and so on.

At this moment, the effect of his Immortal Bone Grade King Quality Comprehension came into play.

He vaguely had a fuzzy idea and concept; as long as he used time to deduce and perfect it, he would certainly be able to create a method for Body Refining using Mysterious Yellow Qi.

However, just like the method of opening multiple Life Springs, this required time, perhaps a year or two.

"Altar, deduce the method for Body Refining with Mysterious Yellow Qi; how much luck is needed?"

"Three zhang!"

"Three zhang!"

Yin Qi's eyes narrowed; previously, creating the method for opening multiple Life Springs had consumed two zhang of luck.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi was originally a material for forging Emperor Weapons; if it were used for Body Refining, it would definitely be a supreme physical body unprecedented and unrepeatable, and upon Great Completion, it would certainly be comparable to an Emperor Weapon.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi felt his heart thumping and agreed: "Good, deduce it."

"As you wish!"

On the Luck Altar, the red luck plummeted suddenly, dropping to seven chi.

At the same time, a stream of information suddenly appeared in his mind; it was the method regarding tempering the physical body with Mysterious Yellow Qi, which was the method for tempering the Xuanhuang Body.

It was just as Yin Qi had guessed; a Xuanhuang body at the Great Completion Stage is comparable to an Emperor Weapon.

In essence, this is a method that treats the physical body as a Dharma Treasure to be tempered, and it could even evolve into an independent Emperor Scripture.

This is also the reason why three zhang of luck is required.

After digesting the tempering method of the Xuanhuang body, Yin Qi began to practice it impatiently.

He extracted a wisp of Mysterious Yellow Qi from the basketball-sized mass of Mysterious Yellow Qi, then used a special technique to expand it, turning it into a large mass of fine, scattered mist that merged into the bones throughout his body.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi is too heavy and too overbearing; even with Yin Qi's current physical strength, only his bones could barely integrate it, and rashly merging it into his flesh or internal organs would likely shatter his entire body.

Crack, crack, crack!

As the Mysterious Yellow mist merged into his bones, the bones emitted a crack, crack, crack sound of fracturing.

Yin Qi let out a muffled groan, feeling a heart-piercing pain that seemed to strike from all directions, constantly assaulting his pain nerves.

For the sake of safety, he started from the bones of his feet.

He did not dare to attempt his spine or skull at all, lest he practice himself to death.

Yin Qi mobilized the Qi and blood throughout his body, constantly scouring and nourishing the fractured foot bones; through repeated fracturing and healing, the Mysterious Yellow mist finally slowly merged into the bones.

In the end, the jade-white foot bones emitted a faint color of Mysterious Yellow.

……

Half a year later.

Yin Qi opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath of stale air, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The process of practicing the Xuanhuang body is comparable to undergoing extreme torture.

After half a year of hard training, he had only completed the tempering of the bones in his four limbs; as for the bones in vital positions such as the sternum, spine, and skull, he needed to practice even more cautiously.

Even with his firm will, he felt on the verge of collapse after practicing for half a year.

"I'll rest for a while first."

Yin Qi decided to go to the Taixuan Sect to walk around, trying to find a way to comprehend the Jie Secret of Zhuo Peak.

The Jie Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, was created by Dizun; after being triggered, it can increase combat power tenfold, which can be called heaven-defying.

Possessing this secret is equivalent to having an extra trump card for survival.

The current Beidou Star is still considered safe, but once the Ancient Race emerges in a few years, his situation will become somewhat dangerous.

Those experts of the Ancient Race will certainly hunt down Heavenly Pride of the Human Race like him.
