Chapter 146: Emperor's Liquid, Old Acquaintance (12k)_3
Just by sensing briefly, Yu Ziqing understood why the Emperor's Liquid was considered a Holy Object by the Demon Clan.
This substance naturally contained both Yin and Yang components, complete and flawless, in harmony with the principle of embracing Yin and raising Yang, from void to illusion, from nonexistence to existence.
For the Demon Clan, this was an innate opportunity for Demon Transformation, a godsend primer; there was nothing better.
For Yin God Cultivation, if one could withstand it without dying, then naturally a trace of Yang Qi would be born within the Yin God, and that Yang was born from extreme Yin, the most perfect Yang within heaven and earth.
Once this step was overcome, it was equivalent to laying a foundation for advancing to the Yang God Realm later on, and that was the most difficult and dangerous step.
The suffering and danger to be faced in the future were even greater; it was better to do it now rather than later.
Yu Ziqing had a moment of realization as he braved the scorching heat and continuously absorbed one Emperor's Liquid after another.
Today, the entire Jinlan Mountain was very quiet. Qingqing was being baptized by the Emperor's Liquid, and he did not take the opportunity to cultivate.
The little Tree Demon spread its canopy and caught the Emperor's Liquid to absorb into its body.
Even the hungry ghosts in the locust forest, with their mouths wide open, wouldn't pass up the chance to devour a drop of the Emperor's Liquid if they could.
On the other side of the mountain, Old Yang transformed into a dragon shape, flickering its body and coiling into a Snake Array, and with an open mouth, sucked in from the sky.
A string of Emperor's Liquids changed direction, converging into a stream like strings of grapes, flowing endlessly into Old Yang's mouth.
From a distance, within the circle of the locust forest, nearly all the Emperor's Liquid within a few hundred miles radius was being swallowed by Old Yang alone, leaving only a sparse few that were sufficient for Yu Ziqing and the others to use for their Cultivation.
When the Emperor's Liquid converged together, it was like forming a gigantic funnel of light spanning hundreds of miles, especially magnificent.
To the north of the locust forest, You Zhen stepped out of his room, gazing out into the sky above Jinlan Mountain, and exclaimed,
"The depth of Jinlan Mountain's foundation is truly skyrocketing at a visible rate. Within a few hundred miles range, the Emperor's Liquid can all be monopolized by one person to such an extent, ninety-nine percent. Are they hiding a Great Demon there?"
You Zhen reached out and pulled down dozens of Emperor's Liquid, swallowing them only to immediately notice the Yin and Yang Qi circulating within his frail body, making it somewhat challenging to digest it all.
Its essence was too high, and since it represented an opportunity for lower beings, having it wouldn't be of much use to him.
Tasting it was about all he wanted; the rest was just for watching the show.
Tonight, in fact, was also a prime opportunity for various forces to flex their muscles.
Looking towards Dali, one could vaguely see specks of light converging in the sky and falling down like clusters, all collected by someone actively gathering the Emperor's Liquid.
Situations like on Jinlan Mountain, where one person would consume the Emperor's Liquid from hundreds of miles around, were rare.
Only a true Demon God, who cultivated through Moonlight, would dare to do so. Otherwise, the outcome would not be pleasant.
They would either burst from overindulgence or be killed by the conflicting Yin and Yang Qi.
Today, anyone who was not blind would know there was an entity within Jinlan Mountain that could rival a Ninth Tier Demon God.
In fact, there truly was...
Old Yang did not want to waste such a rare opportunity. He swallowed some himself and even used the corpse of the Evil Dragon as a lure to forcibly wrap up all the Emperor's Liquid within hundreds of miles for himself.
What he could not use, he just used to refine the Evil Dragon's corpse.
Meanwhile, Yu Ziqing's Yin God continued to endure strenuously. On that ghastly body, a trace of Yang Qi had already started to form.
This was a rare opportunity to possess Yang Qi before reaching the Yang God Realm, not considered impure or adulterated.
With Yin God Cultivation on the right track, Yu Ziqing became idle. Looking at the sky full of Emperor's Liquid gathered by Old Yang, he felt envious.
Unfortunately, Old Yang had anticipated his question and had already told him beforehand that the Emperor's Liquid could not be stored at all, and one's acquisition depended entirely on individual capability.
"Eat as much as you can, there will definitely be enough," Old Yang had said.
If it could be stored, then the weaker demons and spirit monsters wouldn't have a chance to obtain even one, and as for the plants and wild animals in the mountains that lacked even a hint of spiritual wisdom, they would have no chance at all.
Only a quantity large enough could ensure everyone gets a share of the bounty.
Yu Ziqing looked at his own Yin God and, paying no more attention to it, let it continue Cultivating on its own. He started attempting to store some of the Emperor's Liquid.
Seeing the Emperor's Liquid that occasionally wasn't digested by the Yin God and just fell to the ground, disappearing, Yu Ziqing felt like his heart was bleeding.
He began his Body Refining Cultivation, devouring the Emperor's Liquid that the Yin God couldn't consume; he allowed it to circulate within his body to see which orifices could store it.
He had even stored a bit of the overwhelming power from Old Yang's Transformation Thunder Tribulation at that time.
When the Azure Dragon Illusion blessed him with Creation, he turned the final blow of the Heavenly Tribulation into Creation Light, which he also stored a bit of as a reserve.
It didn't make sense that the Emperor's Liquid, also a kind of power, couldn't be stored, right?
Having opened up 720 orifices and with Perfect Cultivation, there should be at least one orifice capable of performing this function, right?
The power of the Emperor's Liquid circulated through the 720 orifices within his body, without showing any sign that any of them could store it.
Yu Ziqing frowned slightly; it couldn't be...
However powerful the Emperor's Liquid was, surely it couldn't be stronger than the Heaven and Earth Creation Light, could it?
Nonetheless, as the power made a full cycle and passed the position where the Qi Sea was located, Yu Ziqing suddenly felt a jolt.
