52: Terrifying aura! Alarming the sect!

The first True Essence Realm powerhouse Li Qi saw was Wang Huan, and just the slight power Wang Huan casually displayed made him feel immense pressure.

He was a whole major Realm below a True Essence Realm powerhouse, and the difference in strength was terrifying.

If a True Essence Realm powerhouse wanted to attack Li Qi, it would be bad; he could only choose to flee.

But now Li Qi no longer had to worry about that, because he would soon step into the True Essence Realm as well.

A Cultivation Technique has been discovered that can be recorded!

Recording Cultivation Technique...

You have obtained a High Grade Cultivation Technique... Pine Crane Longevity Skill - Return to Origin Chapter!

After flipping through the Secret Manual in his hand, the System successfully recorded this High Grade Cultivation Technique, and he also saw the detailed information of this Cultivation Technique.

Pine Crane Longevity Skill - Return to Origin Chapter

Rank: High Grade Cultivation Technique

Mastery Rank: Not yet initiated (10 Potential points can be consumed to initiate)

Moves: Wing Dance Spring Autumn, Crane Wing Feathering, Stepping Crane Traverse, Crane Shadow Chasing Wind, Crane Cry Autumn Water, Cloud Crane Dance Sword

Description: This is the Pine Crane Longevity Sect's ultimate Secret Manual. This method has profound intent and astonishing potential. One can Cultivate to the Secret Realm with this method! Achieve Land Immortal!

This was a very powerful Cultivation Technique.

Not to mention the subsequent Secret Realm, even this Return to Origin Chapter was enough for Li Qi to Breakthrough to the True Essence Realm.

"Begin strengthening!"

The Potential in Li Qi's hand rapidly decreased by 10 points, and a large amount of Cultivation memories continuously flooded his mind. The Martial Dao True Qi within Li Qi's body also began to change.

The True Qi in his body began to continuously gather towards his Dantian, and it began to compress!

Originally, his Martial Dao True Qi was incredibly vast, like a storm rotating and roaring in his Dantian!

But now... a trickling sound of water began to appear in this storm-like True Qi vortex, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.

Drops of thick liquid began to appear in the True Qi storm...

The texture of these liquids was very thick and heavy, like mercury!

Li Qi's mental consciousness was entirely concentrated in his Dantian Qi Sea. He could clearly see strands of Martial Dao True Qi continuously gathering and condensing into drops of Martial Dao True Essence!

Each portion of Martial Dao True Essence required at least ten portions of Martial Dao True Qi to gather and condense.

Although the Martial Dao True Qi in Li Qi's body was continuously decreasing, the Aura on Li Qi's body was constantly rising!

He was clearly only seven feet tall... yet he exuded a majestic feeling like a towering mountain!

As the Aura on Li Qi's body continuously rose, an invisible pressure continuously extended outwards from his body. The ground, unable to bear the heavy pressure, began to show fine cracks!

The first to notice the anomaly was Shu Zhiyou, who lived closest to him!

Shu Zhiyou was meditating in his small courtyard, practicing a sword technique called [Whirlwind Willow Dance Sword]. With one thrust of his sword, the sword tip continuously trembled.

"Hmm?"

Shu Zhiyou was startled. His sword tip trembling was not intentional... but his entire arm was trembling.

"What's going on?"

Shu Zhiyou was shocked, an inexplicable sense of trepidation surged into his heart, and his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

At the same time, a vast and terrifying sense of oppression came from a certain direction beside him!

"This is... the Aura of the True Essence Realm!!!"

Shu Zhiyou looked horrified, turning his head to look to one side of his body: "This direction... is Li Qi?"

"Li Qi Breakthrough to the True Essence Realm?!"

Shu Zhiyou was very familiar with the several True Essence Realm powerhouses in the School. Whether it was the Sect Head of the Pine Crane Longevity Sect or those several Elders, or even Huangfu Ji and Tang Yishuang, these two Disciples who had already Breakthrough to the True Essence Realm, Shu Zhiyou could distinguish them.

But this suddenly appearing True Essence Realm Aura... was so unfamiliar and powerful!

This was not any True Essence Realm he had seen before.

There was only one reason for such a thing to happen... this was a newly emerged True Essence Realm powerhouse!

And from the distance... it was Li Qi!!!

"How is this possible? Li Qi only entered the School three days ago!! How did he Breakthrough to the True Essence Realm?"

"Also, he shouldn't have the Cultivation Technique to Breakthrough to the True Essence Realm. The Pine Crane Longevity Skill - Return to Origin Chapter requires a full 300 contribution points to exchange, and his contribution points aren't enough!"

Too many questions continuously surfaced in Shu Zhiyou's mind. He really wanted to go to Li Qi's place to see what was going on, but he could no longer Move.

How terrifying was the oppressive feeling emitted by a True Essence Realm powerhouse? Shu Zhiyou was like an insect solidified in amber.

Let alone taking a step, even turning his neck... was incredibly difficult!

More and more Martial Dao True Qi in Li Qi's body transformed into True Essence. Not only did he have the White Cloud True Qi from [Cloud Crane Dance Sword] in his body, but also the protective True Qi from [Iron Refining Body] and the Profound Jade True Qi from [Profound Jade Skill]. These True Qi also began to transform into Martial Dao True Essence!

Soon, more than half of the True Qi transformed into True Essence, and the range covered by Li Qi's Aura further expanded!

Not only Shu Zhiyou, but other Disciples living nearby were also enveloped and confined by Li Qi's Aura, unable to Move.

Even some people passing by were affected. These people all looked in horror at the core area of this Aura.

"This is the Aura of a True Essence Realm powerhouse!"

"Who is this person?"

"This Aura is very unfamiliar. Could it be that an external True Essence Realm powerhouse has infiltrated the School?!"

"Or has a Disciple Breakthrough to the True Essence Realm!?"

Li Qi's commotion was not small, alarming the existences deep within the School. Several figures rushed here.

Shu Zhiyou's face was pale from the immense pressure, and his body was swaying. Just as he was about to fall, his body lightened, and the pressure on him was swept away.

"Eh?"

Shu Zhiyou hadn't even figured out what was going on when he felt his collar tighten, and his body was directly lifted up by someone, rapidly moving away from the core area of this vast Aura.

After his body felt much more comfortable, Shu Zhiyou turned his head and saw a familiar figure standing behind him: "Elder Wang? How did you come?"

Wang Huan stroked his long beard, his eyes filled with barely suppressed joy: "With such a big commotion, how could I not come and see?"

This person was Wang Huan.

How keen was the perception of a True Essence Realm? When a strange and powerful Aura suddenly appeared in the mountain gate, Wang Huan noticed it immediately.

Not only him, but another Elder named Puyang Changqing also noticed the anomaly and rushed over as well.

The two Elders flickered continuously, taking out all the Disciples who were enveloped and oppressed by Li Qi's Aura. Then, their figures flashed, appearing in Li Qi's courtyard.

"Truly remarkable, such a young True Essence Realm powerhouse."

"Elder Wang, is this the Li Qi you mentioned?"

"Yes, it is."

"This child is no ordinary person, Elder Wang... you've found a treasure."

Puyang Changqing said with admiration.

And Wang Huan's heart was also filled with emotion. He never thought that by simply going out for a stroll, he would encounter such a prodigiously talented individual!

Li Qi, not yet twenty years old, having practiced martial arts for less than a year, had already Breakthrough to the True Essence Realm?!

What kind of Prodigy was this?

The two Elders stopped speaking. They stood in Li Qi's courtyard, one on the left and one on the right, acting as Protectors for Li Qi, quietly waiting for Li Qi's Breakthrough to end.

After the time it takes to drink a few cups of tea, all the True Qi in Li Qi's body had been completely transformed.

The terrifying True Qi storm in his Dantian Qi Sea was gone, replaced by... a vast ocean of True Essence!

True Essence surged in the Dantian, stirring up waves that shook the heavens!

Li Qi slowly opened his eyes and saw the two Elders guarding him, smiling faintly: "Disciple greets both Elders!"

Wang Huan immediately stepped forward, heavily patting Li Qi's shoulder, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Li Qi, well done!"

"You've done so well!!!"
