Chapter 42 Saints and Kings
The fairy pool, its waters shimmering, exudes a refreshing fragrance, and wisps of mist rise and fall, as if the celestial energy of a fairy realm is swirling around, radiating auspicious light.
Yuan Qingsu sat cross-legged by the pond, next to the trunk of a 49-meter-tall ancient peach tree. The old bark was cracked, rough and ancient, like dragon scales.
The tree's lush canopy, with its intertwined branches and roots, spread out above his head, casting a shadow.
Dotted with peach blossoms, their crystalline pink hues exuding a touch of allure, their fragrance intoxicating.
The Origin Heaven Patterns naturally centered on him, moving at his will, spreading out around this Immortal Pool. The rich essence of heaven and earth was immediately drawn in and poured over him.
Yuan Qingsu seemed to be cultivating by sipping the primordial elixir born from heaven and earth.
This is one of the mysteries of the Origin Technique: communicating with the origin of heaven and earth, reversing the secrets of the sun and moon, and the creation of heaven and earth.
It is most effective in special terrain.
The supreme blood, condensed with intricate runes, flowed through his chest, absorbing a massive amount of the essence of heaven and earth to grow stronger.
They were so tiny, so delicate, yet they possessed a majestic and awe-inspiring presence that made one tremble. They illuminated Yuan Qingsu's chest, making it appear as if it were forged from glass, crystal clear and sacred.
"This aura..."
The Yaochi elders, who were sitting cross-legged not far away, suddenly opened their eyes and looked at the young man under the ancient peach tree with surprise on their faces.
Some of them are very old, having sat in this important place for thousands of years without ever leaving. Some are mature and beautiful, though not as stunning as the Queen Mother of the West, they are still charming. Others have snow-white hair but look like young girls. But no matter what they look like, they are all extremely powerful and are living fossils.
Anyone who steps out of Yaochi can cause a stir in this world of profound wisdom; they are truly top-tier masters.
Now, however, they were all awestruck by the aura of the young man beneath the peach tree, and stood up, their eyes meeting, exchanging glances, their minds communicating, and whispering among themselves:
"What kind of physique is this? I've never heard of it before, yet it's even more terrifying than a divine physique or a royal physique. It seems to contain the power of the human body's very essence!"
"It's absolutely astonishing! That potential is terrifying! It makes my Dao heart tremble and gives rise to a sense of fear, as if I'm facing a future great emperor!"
"Do you think that nourishing the Holy Spirit with this blood could hasten her birth? Perhaps we can make another deal with him..."
boom!
As the elders of Yaochi exchanged ideas, the twentieth giant elephant particle revived, and Yuan Qingsu's Sea of Wheels Secret Realm was completely reshaped.
A dark golden elephant covered in scales was born from the Wheel of Life. This was formed from the supreme bloodline that fell from its chest and merged with the place of origin of life.
The divine elephant, perched at the center of the Wheel of Life, resembled an ancient divine sun, its body emanating wisps of rich primordial essence. This essence flowed outwards through the channels opened by the profound technique, pouring into the Sea of Bitterness condensed by the divine power of the clear light, which became the Spring of Life.
The life spring never ceased, the sea of suffering rumbled and surged, divine power boiled and surged, its light was intense and holy, projecting out and reflecting in the void, producing sounds of mountains collapsing and seas tsunamis, thunder shaking the heavens and earth, making the eyes of the several Yaochi elders shine even brighter.
"It really is a celestial seedling. How come I can sense the aura of heavenly tribulation from its body?" one of them muttered to himself.
"Indeed, there is the power of thunder surging within his sea of suffering!" The old woman among the elders had very special eyes, with dense silver patterns interwoven in the depths of her eyes, capable of piercing through the void and seeing through illusions. At this moment, she captured a corner shrouded in divine power mist within the Yuanqing Sulun Sea.
One after another, streaks of purple lightning, like glowing giant dragons, crisscrossed the sky above the surging, clear-lit sea of suffering.
This is not the power that a mortal body should have, nor is it the same as the thunder within the golden sea of suffering of the Holy Body. It is because Yuan Qingsu's "Holy Light Technique - Heavenly Tribulation Light" has become increasingly profound, with the technique, the spirit, and the body merging together, touching upon the profound mysteries. It imprinted the strands of innate patterns captured in the heavenly tribulation of the past into his bloodline, thus creating this extraordinary phenomenon.
boom!
As the fountain of life gushed forth, a divine bridge was erected, one end connecting to the divine elephant perched beneath the fountain, and the other piercing through the sea of suffering and sky, extending into a chaotic and misty "other shore," where it connected with a ball of holy light.
The holy light was dazzling and surging. Within the outer shell of ultimate light, there was a dark hole that seemed to have collapsed everything. This "point" could contain all things, flowing with the six desires of humanity, bewitching people's minds, and merging with the sacred.
The light source hangs high above the heavens, impervious to all laws and subjugated by all paths.
With light as the sacred, illuminating all aspects of the world; with the elephant as the king, bearing the foundation of existence.
Holy King!
Yuan Qingsu rose from under the tree, his abdomen glowing with light. Intense light and terrifying power poured into his limbs and bones from this center, making every strand of his hair glow and burn with light, forming his supreme body as clear and flawless as glass.
Overlooking the vast world, its grandeur encompasses thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
That aura was simply captivating.
His entire being seemed to be burning like the sun, the intense light blurring his handsome face, with only a pair of clear, bright eyes vaguely visible, like an ancient god standing in the primordial world, looking down upon the world with a glance.
Rumble!
With every gesture and movement, Yuan Qingsu could distort the surrounding void, and his surging blood energy would rampage through his body, making his physical body incredibly powerful to an astonishing degree.
"This kid has reached an unprecedented level in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, a feat rarely seen throughout history."
"That younger member of the Jiang family, isn't he about to compete with him for the 'Pass on the Torch'?"
"That kid is no ordinary person either; it's going to be a fierce battle."
Several Yaochi elders watched this scene with great interest. For them, there were countless geniuses in the world, and they had seen countless of them. They themselves were among the best, but they had never seen someone like Yuan Qingsu before.
At first, it wasn't anything special, just an ordinary mortal body, but as it grew, it became increasingly incredible.
"Buzz!"
The strange stone with nine orifices and eight holes on the other side under the ancient peach tree seemed to be affected by this breakthrough and phenomenon. It trembled slightly and showed a slight desire for the strands of supreme blood in Yuan Qingsu's chest, instinctively wanting to take it.
"Want it? Sure."
Yuan Qingsu stood amidst the flowing clouds and raging flames, exuding majesty, and walked step by step toward the gently trembling strange stone, placing his hand on its rough surface.
The moment the two touched, a soft halo appeared on the stone's surface, outlining large sections of scripture, accompanied by a continuous, profound chanting.
In the past, the ancient sages of Yaochi chanted scriptures to the holy spirit within the strange stone, hoping to convert it into a daughter of the sacred land of Yaochi, so that it could bring an opportunity for this pure land of women to become immortals on the path to immortality.
Before the ancient sage passed away, he condensed all his essence, energy, and spirit and poured it into a strange stone to complete this holy spirit. At the same time, he used the purest and most intense flames of transformation to cleanse the consciousness and thoughts of the spirit, intending to completely transform it into a benevolent spirit through this transformation.
However, judging from the original trajectory, this move was not considered successful.
Its final fate remains unknown, but from beginning to end, Yaochi, this holy spirit, had her own independent will. Even though she had already achieved perfection, she was unwilling to be born and share the same sky with the human emperor.
Chi!
A wisp of supreme blood was drawn out by Yuan Qingsu and introduced into the strange stone, seeping through the thick stone lining and merging with a woman of almost dreamlike beauty inside the stone core.
A tiny flame, as small as a bean, was lit on the embers within his sea of suffering, mysterious and unpredictable, containing a part of the contingency plan left behind by Emperor Hengyu from long ago.
Two strong heartbeats sounded almost simultaneously, one from the outside and one from the inside, one weak and one strong, yet they were surprisingly in sync.
The ceremony officially began.
The elders of Yaochi did not stop her, because in their perception, Yuan Qingsu had actually offered up such precious blood of her heart to the Holy Spirit.
Of course, he also received corresponding rewards.
The Holy Spirit, carrying the great power of the entire Yaochi Holy Land, nourished Yuan Qingsu.
This mutually beneficial situation is something they are happy to see.
During this process, the Heart Sacred Fruit differentiated from the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir was dissolved by the clear light projected from the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates deep within the Yuan Qing Su Sensing Thought Space, breaking down into the purest life essence and heart-shaped Dao patterns.
The heart-shaped Dao patterns merged with the clear light, and on this basis, a change occurred, creating a door in the heart, imprinting itself on Yuan Qingsu's heart, and frantically extracting the yang qualities from his body, almost instantly dyeing his own heart a supremely yang and powerful gold.
Boom boom boom!
The golden heart pounded like a war drum, drawing on the life essence left by the sacred fruit to continue its vigorous growth. Then, it faintly touched an unfathomable dimension, and the "door" in its heart cracked open.
next moment.
boom!!
The intense Yang energy, like a volcanic eruption, surged out from the crack in the door, instantly flowing through Yuan Qingsu's entire body, cleansing every cell dozens or even hundreds of times.
This "yang" is not pure energy, nor can it be simply categorized as the power of the sun or lesser yang. It is more akin to a rule, a status, a symbol, ethereal yet undeniably influencing all the heavens and myriad realms, existing within men and all male beings.
But even so, Yuan Qingsu felt like she was about to explode!
This power is so unique that it has reached an extreme.
The Holy Spirit has shown unusual activity; she is too powerful, and Yuan Qingsu is too weak.
In this connection, He should have been in a dominant position, but because of the power that Hengyu left inside the ancient bronze lamp.
The Holy Spirit, which was so powerful that it reached its ultimate state, was reduced to a vassal.
It had become flesh and blood, its heart radiating light and possessing a mysterious celestial charm. When it resonated with Yuan Qingsu's heart, connected by blood and pulsating in sync, a "door" was drawn on it.
The door cracked open, and the "yin" attribute accumulated in the Holy Spirit's body collapsed like an abyss. Then, it flowed continuously into Yuan Qingsu's body through an invisible channel, neutralizing the extreme yang energy in his body.
How abundant and pure is the Yin energy within the Holy Woman who is about to be born at the Great Perfection?
A single wisp extinguished all the yang fire, neutralizing and giving rise to wisps of dark and chaotic energy, which took root like seeds in Yuan Qingsu's heart, imbuing it with an aura of creation and the beginning of countless eras.
Originally, a hundred pure Yin women were there to extract a wisp of Yin energy, neutralize the Yang energy, and obtain a wisp of the "Original Heart" mystery as a seed, which was then planted in their hearts and continuously nourished to grow.
But now that the Holy Spirit has appeared, the quality and quantity of Yin energy have greatly increased. It neutralizes with the inexhaustible Yang energy, giving rise to the chaotic and profound mysteries of the primordial heart, which gradually condenses into a primordial heart seal.
Yuan Xin Yin absorbed a drop of essence blood from the liver orifice of the Immortal Spirit Eye, acquiring the original imprint of the Immortal Spirit Eye. It grew again, giving rise to strands of innate patterns that were imprinted on Yuan Qing Su's eyes.
In just a moment, his eyes became radiant and dazzling.
boom!
The twenty-first and twenty-second giant elephant particles were revived in succession during this process. With the reconstruction of the extreme realm in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, the Dao Palace Secret Realm also began to be reshaped.
Boom boom boom!
The golden heart was tinged with pure yin black, and the gold and black blended and transformed, gradually turning the beating heart in Yuan Qingsu's chest cavity into a noble purple-gold color.
Yuanxin.
The original heart of heaven and earth.
......
"Truly a rare and precious medicinal herb!" Yao Guang Holy Son nodded slightly, his eyes showing appreciation.
"It's a pity that it was born in the Jade Pool. Brother Yaoguang, you can't just pick it at will. The owner of this place values it highly." Jiang Yifei's lips curled up slightly as he spoke calmly. He had already regained his refined and composed demeanor, his white robes fluttering, exuding a captivating aura.
On the cliff face in front of the two, a dragon blood ginseng grew quite luxuriantly, its green leaves as exquisite as jade carvings, and it was nearly three thousand years old.
All the disciples of the Yaochi Holy Land are women, but the Holy Land is very large, especially the area where the "Yaochi Battle Platform" is located. Male cultivators are not prohibited from moving around freely. After leaving the Immortal Pool, the two of them came here with the others.
After the young people had gathered here for about half an hour, the powerful figures from the Ji family, the Jiang family, and the Yao Guang Holy Land had also settled their respective foundations and arrived here.
This place is not far from the Immortal Pool, but the [Western Emperor Tower] suppresses it from above, and the hazy immortal mist hangs down, blocking everything and making it impossible for people to perceive what is happening inside.
But just by looking at the radiant light and auspicious colors, one can tell that the people inside are enjoying immense good fortune.
After taking another look, the Holy Son of Yaoguang turned to Jiang Yifei, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light, and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang seems to be quite interested in this precious herb as well. Logically speaking, you come from an extraordinary background, so your family should not lack such a great medicine."
"This one is special."
"It is indeed special. Its branches and leaves are lush and deep, and its roots are deeply embedded in the ground like a dragon. Its medicinal power is extraordinary and cannot be consumed by ordinary people. Moreover, it grows in the Jade Pool."
"It's alright. The elders in my family have a good relationship with Yaochi. They can just warm up before taking it."
Jiang Yifei said casually, his expression calm. As time went by, his temperament became more and more ethereal and graceful, as if he might ride the wind and become an immortal at any moment.
"Time's almost up, Fellow Daoist west Wangmu, aren't you going to activate the battle platform?"
At this moment, Jiang Rui, a powerful figure from the Jiang family, suddenly spoke up, his voice booming like a bell, saying, "Where is the Yuan surname brat from the Yao Guang Holy Land? Why has he been so slow to show up, turning into a coward at the last minute? And what about the Flame of Fire? According to the rules, it should already be on the high platform by now."
Jiang Yichen, a member of the younger generation, also revealed a sinister smile, adding fuel to the fire: "Making so many people wait is really too arrogant."
