192: Chapter 192 Emerging from the Cave Heaven, the First Surge of Spiritual Energy!

In the Cave Heaven, there were still many Half-demons remaining.

Li Xiuyuan attempted to go to that city, wanting to see if he could find Baili Jin's disciple, but unfortunately, the Half-demons in that city had all dissipated into blood mist.

For this reason, Li Xiuyuan could only disperse his Spiritual Sense to search the entire Cave Heaven, finding a few Half-demons with high-level Realms and asking them about the Bloodline Fusion Method.

Those few Half-demons had long known what had happened, so they dared not offer the slightest resistance to Li Xiuyuan.

This Bloodline Fusion Method of the Half-demons could also be considered a means of Cultivate, but it required persistent and constant practice to completely fuse the half-human, Half-demon Bloodline.

After Li Xiuyuan recorded everything, he let those few Half-demons leave.

He did not kill all the Half-demons in this Cave Heaven like Zhen did; instead, he intended to leave the Half-demons in this Cave Heaven, thinking that if he placed the Dragon Gate in the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers in the future, he might be able to borrow the power of these Half-demons.

Carrying the Bloodline Fusion Method, he found the still-weak Yin Laojiu, and Li Xiuyuan proposed the plan to leave the Cave Heaven.

This tiger agreed very decisively, but after learning that Li Xiuyuan had killed Zhen, its mood was somewhat uncomfortable—not because it blamed Li Xiuyuan for killing Zhen, but because it had learned of Zhen's actual thoughts.

All that talk about reviving the glory of the Yao Race was just his own wishful thinking.

Leaving Mount Zhange, Li Xiuyuan took Yin Laojiu to return to Yunfeng Mountain temporarily.

This tiger had nowhere else to go; it had been drifting about previously with no fixed residence, and plus it was weak at the moment, so he took it to Yunfeng Mountain to recuperate for the time being.

Once its injuries were healed, Li Xiuyuan planned to let it stay at Mount Zhange.

Arriving at Mount Zhange to be a mountain lord would also serve to watch the Cave Heaven entrance for him.

Yin Laojiu had no objections; to it, it was the same wherever it stayed.

After sending Yin Laojiu back to Yunfeng Mountain, Li Xiuyuan went to Gu Xiao's sanitarium to give him the Bloodline Fusion Method.

At this time, Gu Xiao was still unable to move, and the communication between his Spiritual Sense had become much weaker, which seemed to be because the Half-demon Bloodline in his body was becoming increasingly powerful and difficult to suppress.

It was fortunate that Li Xiuyuan returned in time; if Li Xiuyuan had returned a while later, Gu Xiao would have slowly turned into a demon that lost its sanity and would very likely have been locked up somewhere by the Jiantian Bureau.

Although in his current state, it was no different from being locked up.

After finishing everything on hand, Li Xiuyuan returned to the cave on Phoenix Mountain and found Qing'er to talk about the Dragon-transformation method proposed by Lord River God.

"Setting up nine Dragon Gates each in the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and guiding the creatures within to cross them? This is indeed a viable method, but there is a problem: the Dragon Gates in the rivers cannot be established so easily. The most stringent condition is that they require sufficient Spiritual Qi."

Qing'er sat on the treetop, deep in thought for a moment. Finally, she gave a suggestion that coincided with Li Xiuyuan's thoughts, "The best time is to wait until after the first surge of Spiritual Qi."

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded: "I was thinking the same thing."

Immediately, Li Xiuyuan mentioned seeing Jingxin's Buddha statue in Zhen's Cave Heaven.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva indeed has some connection with Half-demons, so it is understandable to worship him."

"By the way, that little monk has been very busy lately." Qing'er said, a playful smile appearing on her pretty face.

Ever since Li Xiuyuan helped Jingxin open his Dharma Eye to see ghosts and monsters, this monk had not rested, running around everywhere.

At the same time, he was attacked by another Yama King, but through these days of tempering, Jingxin had improved significantly in both Buddhist practice and experience.

"It's good to be busy. Chanting sutras in Phoenix Temple all day, he needs tempering." Li Xiuyuan was not too worried about Jingxin's safety.

Now that he had opened his Dharma Eye, and with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's guidance and help, he would surely grow smoothly.

"Next, are you planning to wait for the Spiritual Qi surge?" Qing'er asked.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Yes, it shouldn't be too far off."

Just as Li Xiuyuan said, the first surge of Spiritual Qi would not take long to arrive.

On New Year's Eve, thousands of homes were lit up. On the land of the Xia Kingdom, fireworks bloomed one after another in the night sky, dyeing the dark firmament into a flowing gold and red.

The sound of firecrackers came from every corner of the city, dense and enthusiastic.

On Yunfeng Mountain, Li Xiuyuan perched on the peak, his gaze passing through the night to fall on the sky in the distance that was being illuminated by fireworks.

He felt that the aura of heaven and earth was changing in an extremely slow and irreversible way.

The moment the New Year's bell rang, the world suddenly fell silent for an instant.

Then, a stream of extremely rich Spiritual Qi surged out from nowhere, like groundwater that had been suppressed for too long finally finding an outlet, sweeping across the globe with a destructive force.

On the sea surface, several hundred-meter-high giant waves rose out of thin air, moving toward the distance under the moonlight.

Deep in the South Pacific, that long-lasting storm suddenly accelerated its rotation under the impact of the Spiritual Qi, like an awakened eye slowly opening.

A dull cracking sound came from the bottom of the Arctic ice sheet.

On the human earth, all vegetation was swept by a gust of wind at the same moment.

That wind made every leaf tremble gently, as if bowing to a higher level of power.

The people cheering in the city did not notice, but between the mountains and great marshes, those Rising Beingss dormant in caves and ravines raised their heads at the same moment.

They all felt a gaze from the void watching all this, watching all the living beings in the human world.

Whether it was the fish demon living in the deep pool, the beasts dormant in the dense forest, or those little demons who had just barely opened their intelligence in the rainstorm of Spiritual Qi, they all felt that gaze in an instant.

Immediately, the surge of Spiritual Qi officially began.

Those Rising Beingss who had just opened their intelligence were the first to change.

Their bodies, which were originally only barely able to perceive Spiritual Qi, were expanded from within by a warm force, meridians were widened, flesh was nourished, and their Realms climbed upward like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The surge of Spiritual Qi was like a silent tide, spreading from the top of the sky to every corner of the earth.

Those Rising Beingss dormant in deep mountains and dense forests, or on mountains and ice fields, were penetrated by that power in their Bloodline and Spiritual Sense at the same moment.

Some creatures felt their Yao core in their bodies expand a full circle suddenly like a lit star; the thresholds of Realms that originally required decades of hard cultivation to touch shattered instantly like thin ice under the scouring of the Spiritual Qi surge.

Some creatures felt strange memory fragments surging from the depths of their Spiritual Sense; it seemed that ancient information that had been sleeping for tens of millions of years was awakened, turning into the rudiments of spells or the seeds of Divine Ability, taking root and sprouting in their Bloodline.

However, not all changes were gifts.
