174: Chapter 174 Origin Crystal Body, Foundation of Immortal Cultivation!

"What... what is that...?"

A murmuring voice echoed, breaking the silence, though no one knew who uttered it.

"Did anyone... see clearly?"

"Just now... what exactly happened?"

No one replied.

Even Yun Xi was deeply shaken by that flash of white light!

That was a power beyond reach!

She slowly raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Qin Tian, and thought to herself, "Tian'er, did you see it?"

Qin Tian's spirit trembled.

He hadn't seen clearly.

But the System was replaying it for him...

The moment Ancestor Feng's all-out strike was about to touch the Zixiao Heavenly Vein.

Qin Tian saw a pair of beautiful eyes, like azure gems, open.

Then.

A streak of sword light shot towards the sky, completely annihilating Ancestor Feng's attack along with Ancestor Feng himself...

However, it didn't harm anything else in the slightest...

This was the ultimate control over power.

It was truly shocking!

After that single sword strike, the azure eyes vanished, and no aura could be sensed anymore.

Qin Tian turned to look at the dumbfounded Little Jing, "Are there other living beings inside this?"

Little Jing shook his head: "No."

"I was born from the Zixiao Heavenly Vein. If there were any living beings inside, I would be able to sense them."

"Then you are still too weak..."

Little Jing: ???

Qin Tian paid no further attention.

It was best not to provoke such an existence.

After all, judging by that single sword strike just now, she seemed to harbor no malice.

"I just don't know if Xiao Chen and Ancestor Feng are dead or not?"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Tian shook his head.

He should grab the zixiao source crystal first!

"Little Jing, lead the way."

"Woof!"

The others did not move.

Firstly, Yun Xi and the others naturally would not snatch opportunities from Qin Tian, and secondly, they needed to keep an eye on the three Heavenly Sovereigns from the Ancient Realm of Longevity.

Qin Tian and Little Jing entered the Zixiao Heavenly Vein together.

Instantly.

A wave of Purple Qi rushed towards them, carrying an incomparably rich and profound aura.

"Does this seem to share the same origin as the Purple Qi in the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm?"

"Only it's a bit thinner..."

However, the Purple Qi in the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm only provided passive defense.

Qin Tian hadn't discovered any other use for it until now.

"My Immortal Cave is ahead. There is one zixiao source crystal inside," Little Jing pointed forward, "That one broke off from the Zixiao Heavenly Vein."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing out all the treasures inside the Immortal Cave.

One by one, they floated in front of Qin Tian.

Qin Tian immediately spotted a fist-sized purple source crystal and grasped it tightly in his palm.

"I'm not interested in the rest; you keep them."

Little Jing was stunned at first, then a look of joy appeared in his eyes, but that joy quickly vanished.

What did that mean?

The treasures he painstakingly collected, he looked down on them?

Of course, he only dared to grumble inwardly.

"The zixiao source crystal is an extremely hard substance; it cannot be opened, only slowly absorbed," Little Jing reminded him.

Qin Tian tapped it.

"It is indeed quite hard."

Little Jing nodded heavily, "Of course! If it weren't this hard, I would have already chewed up all the zixiao source crystal inside."

"Last time, I secretly took a bite and almost shattered my teeth..."

"So, Master Senior Brother, you must not..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Little Jing heard a 'crack' sound.

The zixiao source crystal in Qin Tian's hand cracked directly open...

!!!

???

Little Jing's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"It... it shattered...?"

Damn it!

How did he do that?

Qin Tian put away the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm and weighed the crystal fragments in his hand.

"It seems the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm is a bit harder."

With a movement of his Divine Thought.

The power within the zixiao source crystal continuously surged into Qin Tian's body.

Qin Tian immediately felt his body open up, and black Qi continuously rose from his skin.

The seven emotions seed vibrated.

Madly absorbing the power of the zixiao source crystal.

The seven tender leaves kept changing, and immortal runes gathered, actually forming seven flower buds.

Qin Tian could sense that the flower buds contained Dao Fruits.

The day those flower buds bloomed would be the time for a Breakthrough to Creation!

Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body!

Activate!

The Prison-Suppressing Golden Dragon roared, inhaling the Purple Qi!

And faint purple patterns appeared on the Prison Suppressing Golden Body.

Now, if he activated the Purgatory, he should be able to last ten breaths!

From three breaths to ten breaths, an increase of more than three times...

"Refining the body with the Source Crystal, forging the Immortal Foundation."

"I just don't know what this Immortal Foundation actually is?"

"It doesn't feel like anything special..."

Just as he was wondering, a cold, frost-like voice sounded in Qin Tian's mind.

"When the Dao of Longevity is proven, the Immortal Foundation will manifest on its own."

"So that's how it is... Huh? Wait a minute...!"

Qin Tian's expression instantly became vigilant, his Divine Thought spreading out to cover the surroundings.

"Who?!"

Around him, besides Little Jing, there were no other living auras.

That voice stopped speaking again.

Qin Tian frowned slightly.

"System, get to work!"

A few breaths later, Qin Tian smiled slightly towards a certain direction.

"Thank you for the guidance, Senior."

"May I ask Senior to show yourself for a meeting?"

Silence.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Qin Tian did not change direction.

"You can sense me?"

The voice, like heavenly music, sounded again, carrying a hint of surprise.

"Senior, why are you here?"

Qin Tian neither nodded nor shook his head.

He didn't know if the person opposite him could see through lies.

It was better to change the topic.

Several more breaths passed.

"I am recuperating here."

"Oh, I apologize for disturbing you, Senior."

Qin Tian nodded.

"Where did your Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body come from?"

Qin Tian paused, "Does Senior recognize this technique?"

"Created by an old acquaintance."

!!!

Old acquaintance?

He remembered the System's description: the Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body was a technique capable of transcendence!

Priced at a high 999...

Someone who could create such a Cultivation Technique must be an invincible figure.

And the old acquaintance of an invincible figure...

Even if not invincible themselves, they must have an invincible backer!

This was definitely a thigh worth hugging!

"Replying to Senior, it was bestowed by a Longevity Senior on the Ancient Road of the Immortal Ancient Imperial City, but it's only half of it."

"Half..."

The voice disappeared again.

"Senior?"

"Senior?"

Qin Tian: ...

This Senior isn't very talkative, are they?

Beside him, Little Jing was a bit nervous.

He couldn't hear their conversation; he only saw Qin Tian standing there, staring blankly ahead.

He thought Qin Tian was eyeing the remaining zixiao source crystals that hadn't fallen off the Zixiao Heavenly Vein.

"Master Senior Brother?"

Qin Tian snapped back to attention.

"What is it?"

"The Zixiao Heavenly Vein is the pillar of the Shenji Domain. If it is completely destroyed, it will incur immense Karma!" Little Jing quietly reminded him.

"You make a good point; it indeed cannot be destroyed."

"Then shall we go back?" Little Jing's expression relaxed.

"No rush."

"It hasn't been repaired yet."

"Repair? Repair what?" Little Jing was stunned.

Qin Tian said slowly, "Of course, I'm repairing the Zixiao Heavenly Vein. What else would I be repairing?"

???

Repairing the Zixiao Heavenly Vein?

This thing could actually be repaired?

Couldn't it only recover slowly on its own?

Qin Tian ignored Little Jing's extremely astonished gaze.

With a movement of his Divine Thought.

The Hongmeng Mysterious Realm manifested.

"If my guess is correct, this should be useful."

The next moment.

The Profound Realm floated up, and wisps of mysterious and profound, rich Purple Qi flowed out from it, surging into the Zixiao Heavenly Vein.

Little Jing immediately jumped up with a 'thump'.

"Holy crap! Holy crap!! Holy crap!!!"

After absorbing the mysterious Purple Qi, the Zixiao Heavenly Vein actually began to recover slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye...

This... this this this...

Little Jing looked sharply at Qin Tian.

He suddenly felt that recognizing him as master just now was the most correct, wisest, and luckiest decision he had made since his birth...!

Qin Tian fully urged the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm.

Simultaneously, a questioning voice filled with surprise, doubt, and incomprehension sounded in his mind.

"Where did you obtain this Small World?"

"It actually nurtures such rich Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

...
