26: Breakthrough to the True Qi Realm, condense Xuanhuang True Qi

After knowing the method, you easily visualized an illusory True Qi seed within your Dantian.

After visualizing the seed, the next step is to perceive the natural world and infuse your own insights into it.

The True Qi condensed by the seed will differ based on the insights infused into it.

If a person's insights are entirely of the Dao of Fire, then their True Qi will have Fire attributes; if one perceives the Dao of Ice and Snow, their True Qi will have Ice attributes.

The books even record those who condensed True Qi using Sword Intent, and others using the Dao of Emotion...

Not only that, but from the books, you also realized that True Qi has distinctions in quality.

Because although the Dao has no superior or inferior, pure Fire-attribute True Qi, unless one's insight into the Dao of Fire is very deep...

how could it compare to Five Elements True Qi, which is condensed by perceiving the complete Five Elements and understanding the circulation of the Five Elements?

And for True Qi condensed using Sword Intent, how could True Qi condensed with one Sword Intent compare to True Qi condensed by others with three Sword Intents?

Of course, the prerequisite for achieving this is to combine different insights together to form a whole.

Because if the Daos of Heaven and Earth you have perceived conflict after being injected into the seed, it will tear the seed apart.

Moreover, the rupture of the seed will cause severe damage to the person's Soul, and if there is no medicine to heal the Soul's injuries, that person will forever be stuck below the True Qi Realm.

And the most important point is that the deeper the insights injected into the seed, the more Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence is required for the final step.

The knowledge gathered from the books roughly amounts to this, but you know that a Breakthrough to the True Qi Realm is definitely not that simple.

To exaggerate, for example, if both are Fire-attribute True Qi, one person might have Samadhi True Fire, while another condenses ordinary flames; the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

And what you want to do next is to condense the strongest True Qi possible under the current conditions.

In the following three months, you perceived the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and realized the changes of Yin and Yang.

However, you did not stop; you watched insects go from life to death and from death to decay, realizing a trace of the Concept of Life and Death.

You perceived the changes of the Five Elements in heaven and earth, and realized a trace of the Concept of the circulation of the Five Elements.

At 18 years old, you perceived the cycle of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, as well as the changes in weather phenomena like wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, realizing a trace of the Concept of the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth.

At this time, your insights into Yin and Yang, Life and Death, the Four Symbols, and the Five Elements have all reached the standard for the seed to undergo a transformation.

It is not as if one can destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth after reaching the True Qi Realm; the requirements for a Breakthrough might be like a chasm for ordinary people, but for a Genius like you, they do not even count as a threshold.

You have reached the requirements now just by having some shallow insights into these Daos of Heaven and Earth.

Subsequently, you spent seven months integrating your insights into Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols, Life and Death, and the Five Elements into the illusory True Qi seed you visualized.

Under your control, these insights fused together in a regular manner within the seed, finally forming an illusory Qi.

This Qi is the Mysterious Yellow Qi!

Of course, calling it Mysterious Yellow Qi just sounds nice. It could also be called the Qi of Creation or Chaos Qi; in any case, the general meaning is that it is a Qi that can be used to create the world.

In your understanding, the key to a Breakthrough to the True Qi Realm is to transform illusory insights into real, existing energy, which is True Qi.

This process can be called Qi Refining.

And what Qi can compare to the Mysterious Yellow Qi that can be used to create the world?

Although the current Mysterious Yellow Qi is just an illusory object condensed from your insights, even if it transforms from virtual to real upon a Breakthrough to the True Qi Realm, it is still far from reaching the level of creating the world.

But this is only temporary; if the True Qi Realm is not enough, aren't there higher Realms? You believe that one day, as you integrate more Daos of Heaven and Earth into it, your Mysterious Yellow Qi will also be able to reach the stage of creating a world with a single breath of Qi.

The first requirement for a Breakthrough to the True Qi Realm has been met; the next step is the Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence.

And for you, the Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence is also very simple. Within this year, besides perceiving the Daos of Heaven and Earth, you have not let down the tempering of your spirit; now your consciousness can already influence a radius of ten meters.

Moreover, your Heaven and Earth Resonance Spirit Refining Method is practically foolproof when it comes to resonating with heaven and earth.

With your current spirit, in a state of deep resonance with heaven and earth, you can absorb two strands of Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence in one day.

At 19 years old, on this day, you injected the 365th strand of Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence into the True Qi seed.

It was at this moment that your True Qi seed instantly transformed from virtual to real and merged with your Dantian into one body, and the energy contained in the 365 strands of Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence erupted at this time.

Your Dantian expanded rapidly and was quickly filled with a chaotic and void-like mist; this is your Xuanhuang True Qi.

The energy contained in the 365 strands of Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence filled your entire Dantian with your Xuanhuang True Qi.

Moreover, the process of the seed transforming from virtual to real was deeply imprinted in your mind.

Your spirit underwent an unknown change, and you could feel an energy different from the Spiritual Essence contained between heaven and earth; this energy is called Origin Qi.

According to those storybooks, it is the necessary energy for Cultivation in the True Qi Realm.

The Breakthrough ended quickly; the whole process took less than a minute, and at this moment, you truly became a True Qi Realm Martial Artist.

After reaching the True Qi Realm, you found a deserted place to test the power of your Xuanhuang True Qi.

You casually struck out a strand of Xuanhuang True Qi, directly tearing a crack in the ground over ten meters long and five or six meters deep.

And this strand of True Qi was not even one ten-thousandth of the True Qi in your Dantian.

You dare not imagine how much destructive power you could cause if you erupted with all your strength.

Furthermore, after reaching the True Qi Realm, if you perform martial arts that match the attributes of your own True Qi, you can also multiply the power of your True Qi.

Some martial arts can even receive the blessing of Origin Qi after being performed.

You do not know how your current strength compares to the Abbot, but you definitely will not be killed in one move now.

However, you do not have any thoughts of leaving yet, because Inner Sect Disciples will only be expelled from the temple if they cannot reach the Divine Intent Realm within ten years and cannot be promoted to True Disciple.

That is to say, you can still stay in the Inner Sect for seven years; as long as you do not appear too special, you are safe for at least three or four years.

You have only just reached the True Qi Realm, and you still want to take advantage of this time to create suitable martial arts and then further your Cultivation, so that you will have a greater chance of leaving here.
