Chapter 510: Boundless Sea Emperor
The Sea God has come and the evil wind returns, the waves hit the Heavenly Gate and the stone walls open. How is it in Zhoushan in August, the waves are like connected mountains spraying snow!
Time gradually entered August, the wind and waves on the sea became more urgent. When the weather was bad, one could often see mountain peaks dozens of feet high, slapping directly under the steps of Qian Chen's cave.
After the heavy rain, the air carried a moist and fresh feeling.
As the summer heat gradually faded and the autumn wind blew, the chill gradually rose. The Seven-Star Dragon Eels that had previously moved away from this sea area had spent the past few months fattening their bodies, full of fat. In the end, they missed the spiritual pills of Qian Chen's bait and secretly moved back under that reef.
Qian Chen stood on the reef after the rain, with surging giant waves under his feet.
The waves hit the reef like a great snow avalanche, splashing up a hundred feet of waves!
Facing this surging sea tide, Qian Chen was like a fish in water. He stood with his hands behind his back, only to see a bit of deep black brilliance slowly spreading under the sea surface.
Under the rolling giant waves, a water-element divine light, heavy and unstoppable, lurked in the abyss waiting to erupt. In the blink of an eye, it spread and covered the entire sea area.
Boundless mysterious light sprinkled everywhere, dyeing everything in front of Qian Chen, and even the moisture in the air and the water-element Yuan Qi between water and sky were wrapped by the mysterious light.
Facing this restless sea, Qian Chen was silent like a reef. In his small body standing on the island, an inexplicable momentum was brewing.
Then, Qian Chen flicked his sleeves and turned around, the five-colored divine light circulating behind him, and a bit of mysterious light emerged from his body surface.
His movements were heavy, as if carrying the weight of Mount Tai. It seemed that the weight of the entire sea area was tied to his body. Following his movements, the hundred-mile sea area in front of him was twisted by the mysterious light, and the wild waves rose a thousand feet, forming a huge vortex. This billion-jin seawater swirled and rose into the sky, gathering into a towering divine statue, as high as a mountain.
The reef where Qian Chen was located was not even as high as its knees in front of it.
The divine statue spread its four arms, covering the hundred-mile sea area, with fish and sea beasts swimming through its body. Its face was blurred, shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and its body contained infinite power. Just gathering this body had already occupied most of the power of the water-element divine light, and its divine power was like the Law of Heaven and Earth.
The island reef where Qian Chen was located was not even as big as its fist.
Qian Chen waved his arms, and between stretching, he struck out eighteen hand seals. Each strike brought up hunting wind sounds, and the four arms of the divine statue behind him danced, each strike like the world turning upside down, carrying unparalleled crushing power.
For a long, long time, Qian Chen slowly withdrew his heart and mind and let out a long breath!
With the help of the natural geographical advantages on the sea, over the past few months, he had observed the storms on the sea and finally condensed the Dharma body of the water-element divine light. As long as he cultivated the blurred face of the Dharma body and manifested the Dharma image of the Sea God, the water-element divine light could be considered a great success!
By then, apart from the strong and unparalleled power of this thousand-foot Dharma image, he could also perform various water-element spells, which would be the true water-element Dharma body!
On the sea, relying on such a Dharma body was enough to fight with Soul Transformation True Persons without falling behind.
"Five Elements Dharma Image, cultivating one of them—although it is still only a Dharma image and has not yet cultivated a Dharma body comparable to a Yang Spirit, it is enough to prove the great success of the Five-Colored Divine Light! A great divine ability of this level, being comparable to a Nascent Soul after great success, is truly not a joke!"
Qian Chen slowly gathered the water-element divine light. The thousand-foot-high divine statue slowly collapsed and turned into a tsunami that swept in all directions. Qian Chen raised his hand and pressed it, instantly calming this disaster.
The Seven-Star Dragon Eel, which had been swept into it and was scared out of its wits, didn't even want its own little family property. It flicked its tail and fled to the distant sea—
"Mom! Too scary!"
But Qian Chen only cared about sensing the feeling of the water-element divine light turning into a Dharma image just now.
"This water-element Dharma image was cultivated by observing the sea's capacity for a hundred rivers and the true meaning of boundless true water. Its power has only one kind, which is that it can infinitely merge with seawater as cultivation improves!"
"After great success, it is not impossible for me to merge the East Sea into a Dharma body. In the future, if I cultivate to become a Daoist Lord, what if a divine light merges the four seas and five oceans, and the Dharma body reaches the sky and enters the earth?"
"The mystery of this water-element Dharma body lies in the word 'boundless'! Let's call it the 'Boundless Sea Emperor Dharma Image'!"
If it were based on the pure Five Elements principle of the Daoist sect, the cultivated Dharma body should be the Northern Five Spirits Mysterious Old Heavenly Venerate.
If it followed the instinct of the Five Elements Divine Light Dharma body and the principle of the Divine Dao, the Dharma body should also be the Northern Black Emperor Juice Light Era.
If Qian Chen's foundation were the Buddhist sect, the cultivated Dharma body would be the Northern Amoghasiddhi Buddha.
But when cultivating the Dharma image, Qian Chen deliberately modeled it after nature, avoiding the causal entanglement with the Daoist fruits of these three teachings, and condensed a Dharma image symbolizing the boundless meaning of the sea. Qian Chen also prepared to integrate the natural imagery of the Five Elements into the other four Dharma bodies. Although this lacked some of the divine ability and magic power of the various Divine Emperors in the early stages, the cultivated Dharma image was purer.
Especially the Five Emperors of the Divine Dao—Black, White, Red, Green, and Yellow—were the Divine Dao Great Emperors before the three Dao Ancestors such as the Supreme.
Although they have fallen now, Qian Chen dare not provoke the karma connected to them.
Qian Chen glanced at the distant Zhoushan Islands. Although the water-element divine light simulated a mirage illusion during the cultivation process to cover up the movement here, the movement just now was too big and should have attracted the attention of some great cultivators in the Flying Boat Sea Market—
"A small Flying Boat Sea Market, and now there are more than three stationed Yang Spirits, it's simply outrageous! This is not even the Jiazi Great Market! After the overseas reform of the new law, how many Soul Transformations have been accumulated? Also, after all, once you reach the Yang Spirit realm, if you have no intention of attaining the Nascent Soul, it is too difficult to die!"
Just at this moment, a spiritual light cut through the sky and fell in front of Qian Chen. The spiritual light wrapped a jade plaque and hovered in mid-air.
Qian Chen's spiritual sense swept over it, his brows frowned slightly, and he waved his hand to disperse the restrictions covering the reef.
This jade talisman was a letter written by Feng Yangzi himself. Apart from a few polite words, the most important thing was that he had arranged the Pill Assembly layout, and the Sect Master of the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect had agreed to open a fire vent to lend to Qian Chen for refining pills. At that time, many fellow Daoists would also come to participate.
But according to ancient rituals, apart from the main pill in the furnace, there were also secondary pills refined by children and disciples, which would be sold together at the Pill Assembly. Feng Yangzi had also prepared several alchemists to support Qian Chen's scene.
But according to overseas rules, the Pill Assembly, apart from appreciating spiritual pills, was also an important pill trading assembly and an opportunity for alchemists to verify what they had learned.
Before each Pill Assembly, it was a stage for various alchemists to refine 'Pill Heads' and use their various means.
Qian Chen took the letter and raised his eyebrows, smiling slightly. How could he not understand these rules? This Pill Assembly was originally an activity that started from his Supreme Dao. Originally, it was a gathering of several fellow Daoist friends to appreciate spiritual pills, discuss the Dao, and even work together to refine outer pills above the sixth turn before taking them to ascend.
Later, it would also invite some fellow Daoist friends who could not refine pills to give spiritual pills at the meeting and narrate friendship.
Because it was difficult for alchemists to collect all the medicinal materials for a furnace of spiritual pills by themselves, they often had to rely on fellow Daoists and friends. Naturally, when the pills came out of the furnace, they would invite fellow Daoists to taste them.
And the Pill Head was originally the primer needed to turn the pill. Therefore, in the ancient Pill Assembly, it was first the alchemist's fellow Daoist friends who took action to refine various auxiliary spiritual pills, while the alchemist personally refined the 'Pill Head,' and then chose several fellow Daoists as assistants to work together to refine the main pill of that furnace. Disciples and children would also take this opportunity to refine spiritual pills they were good at and ask for advice from several teachers and seniors.
During the Pill Assembly, the spiritual pills refined by these children and disciples would be given to the fellow Daoists participating in the Pill Assembly for appreciation.
In ancient times, people were simple and honest. Even if fellow Daoists with shallow friendship were invited, they would prepare a suitable gift, which was equivalent to exchanging for the resources of spiritual pills.
Later, these customs spread, and gradually alchemists who were not of the Supreme Dao also held Pill Assemblies. Some were several fellow Daoists pooling spiritual medicines to refine a furnace of spiritual pills; some were alchemists among lone wanderers, crowdfunding to refine pills, letting lone wanderers who knew the news bring spiritual medicines to visit, and then working together to protect the law, and after the pills came out of the furnace, they would share the dividends.
There were also 'futures' for buying and selling spiritual pills!
After ancient times, people became impetuous, and this Pill Assembly, which was originally for making friends and inviting friends, became another channel for pill trading.
Some were because before the spiritual pills came out of the furnace, the quality and even success or failure were uncertain. It was a futures trade for alchemists to raise funds to refine pills. Some were means for alchemists to make a name for themselves, equivalent to kicking the hall, which was the 'rule' of subduing local alchemists and moisturizing the local market!
Now the so-called 'Pill Head' was more like a means for alchemists to compete.
According to the rules, there was no need to distinguish between high and low. It was just an on-site appreciation to let those cultivators who didn't know how to evaluate spiritual pills know the good and the bad!
But if the alchemist boasted too much before, it might be slapped in the face on the spot. If the quality of the refined Pill Head was too poor, or there were too many low-end ones, there was no need for other alchemists to drive them away; the alchemist himself wouldn't be able to stay! And after refining the Pill Head, the alchemist could invite several fellow Daoists to help, refine spiritual pills together, and during this period, they would start selling some pills the alchemist had accumulated before for guests to bid on.
During the refining of the main furnace, there would also be sales of spiritual pills refined by those assisting fellow Daoists, and even the alchemist's own children and disciples.
Finally, open the furnace, invite fellow Daoists from all sides to appreciate the main pill, and then bid to buy it.
"Feng Yangzi's meaning is, someone wants to slap my face?" Qian Chen touched his chin and speculated.
"He shouldn't doubt my ability, so that means someone will carefully refine a furnace of pills during the Pill Assembly, preparing to compare me down? He specifically came to remind me to prepare carefully!"
Qian Chen's thoughts were not unreasonable.
Because refining the Pill Head was mostly a sequence of seven or nine days, it was impossible to refine any precious spiritual pills. More of it was just a test of the alchemist's means and basic skills. Usually, they would only refine some Qi Condensation Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, and Solid Yuan Pills, which were widely used but showed deep skills.
But if someone was determined to make Qian Chen look ugly, they might secretly prepare some spiritual pills that took a short time to refine but were technically difficult and more precious.
If the alchemist hosting the Pill Assembly was not prepared, it was really possible to make a fool of himself!
"These people think too much!" Qian Chen said speechlessly: "Clearly it is Feng Yangzi's tribulation, why must they rush up themselves? If you get slapped in the face too much, doesn't your hand hurt?"
Qian Chen was preparing to stir up the wind and rain, to deal with those old monsters at the Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation levels!
What are a group of alchemists rushing up for? After all, it is a technical job. Everyone worships the Supreme Ancestor. If they bring their faces to be slapped, Qian Chen's hands will also hurt! ===== CHAPTER 511 =====
