Chapter 269 Taisu Primordial Skill
PS: This chapter is a bonus for the sheer number of applause received for the flute song arising from grinding bones to make it.
In the Fengyun World, there exists a peerless sword technique known as the "Primordial Sky Sword Technique".
The "Primordial Sky Sword Technique" is divided into internal and external techniques, the internal technique is Sword Energy, capable of breaking through the cultivation of any swordsman in the world, with power to turn Qiankun upside down, while the external technique consists of sword moves, harnessing the transformative power of nature, with enough strength to cleave open the heavens and earth.
Of course, its power is not the point. The essence of this set of sword techniques lies in the four words, "Transforming Qi into Form".
When "Transforming Qi into Form" reaches its ultimate limit, it becomes the final realm of "Sword Energy Materialization".
In the past, Jian Bei, the originator of the "Primordial Sky Sword Technique", exchanged martial arts with the descendant of the Great Sword Master from the Sword Sect, trading the "Primordial Sky Sword Technique" for the "All Swords Return to the Sect".
After the trade, Jian Wu, the brainless one, took the martial arts he had acquired but never practiced them. Jian Bei, on the other hand, was intelligent; he thoroughly studied the "All Swords Return to the Sect," combining it with the "Primordial Sky Sword Technique" to cultivate an unrivaled martial technique.
With the power of "All Swords Return to the Sect," he devoured Sword Intent from all over the world and used the abilities of the "Primordial Sky Sword Technique" to absorb and transform infinite Sword Intent and Sword Energy, creating a world, which is the "Sword Realm".
The Sword Realm should surpass the spaces opened by the Supreme warriors of this world because it is formed by absorbing the Sword Intent of swordsmen from all over the world.
However, Jian Bei probably hadn't reached the realm of Supreme warriors because the Sword Realm was created by taking a shortcut.
So much for that, because Qing Yu discovered that Xuanzhen's "Taisu Primordial Skill" showed an extremely fitting manifestation with his own foundation, just like the "Primordial Sky Sword Technique" and "All Swords Return to the Sect".
Qing Yu's True Qi could transform One Qi to Ten Thousand Qi, encompassing all types of True Qi. Even True Qi that required solid toxic substances for cultivation, Qing Yu could also emulate it successfully.
While Xuanzhen's "Taisu Primordial Skill" could materialize True Qi. If the two were combined, they might create a space similar to the Sword Realm in the future.
'The formation of the Sword Realm took countless years to accumulate, and Xuanzhen and I don't have that much time, but we can deepen our power. In the future, it's not impossible to pre-emptively get a sense of the realm of the Supreme warrior.' Qing Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he contemplated future possibilities, and his concern for Xuanzhen's successful cultivation intensified.
This could be an immensely strong aid for the future, and if it failed prematurely, Qing Yu feared his heart might break.
Inside the Cold Palace, the brilliance continued to bloom, but Qing Yu sensed its momentum beginning to retract. Xuanzhen's closed-door cultivation was drawing to an end, and whether it would be a success or failure was now critical.
The brilliance completely retracted, and the crystalline mirrors piercing through the Cold Palace lost the support of True Qi, scattering into countless fragments, tinkling as they fell to the ground, shattering into even smaller pieces.
It was over.
Qing Yu waved away the golden light barrier and took several steps forward, picking up a small crystal shard.
"True Qi of a special nature, condensed from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. This tiny shard, is another form of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Could Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi also be like water?"
Qing Yu gathered Primordial Energy in his hand and compressed it to its limit, ultimately condensing it into a small drop of liquid.
It was not rare for Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to condense into liquid, but to become solid was unheard of before. Moreover, the amount of Primordial Energy in the shard he held was far less than the drop of Primordial Qi Liquid he had condensed.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo—"
The great doors of the Cold Palace slowly opened, and out walked a female crown who had undergone a transformation.
Her face was the same as before, but her Qi Mechanism had undergone a tremendous change. This talented woman with lofty ambition had finally broken free from the constraints of the True Martial Arts of the Zhenwu Sect and embarked on her own path.
Her future was unpredictable, but it would surely be filled with more excitement and a longer journey, as long as she does not die halfway.
Qing Yu summoned his energy with a raise of his palm, releasing a burst of palm force.
Upon seeing this, Xuanzhen waved her hand, a wisp of pure white energy swept over the palm force, transforming it into a crystalline object gleaming with a metallic luster, which she held in her hand.
"Can Geng Metal Energy be condensed? Is this crystal actually a true metal?" Qing Yu curiously asked.
Xuanzhen tossed the crystal to Qing Yu, indicating he should examine it for himself.
Qing Yu's Divine Thought swept through the crystal, silently observing the nature of its transformations.
Structurally speaking, the crystal was not metal, but it did possess metallic properties, being solid, and even the edges were sharp.
Qing Yu applied pressure with his palm, shattering the crystal. His True Qi drew out the Geng Metal Energy within, absorbing it again.
The crystal also had an ability—it could store energies such as Primordial Energy and True Qi.
'From what I see, the prospects of Xuanzhen and I working together are definitely broader than the Sword Realm. However, our combined strength is still insufficient to open a new space.'
To open a space, one must first be able to tear through space, and in this regard, Qing Yu's strength was still not enough. The barriers of space in this world were much thicker than in other worlds; if Jian Bei were here now, the Sword Realm would have been impossible to create at best a Sword City would have emerged.
'Moreover, my relationship with Xuanzhen needs to deepen,' Qing Yu glanced at Xuanzhen slightly.
Their alliance was not close enough for Qing Yu to share his inner thoughts with her; they needed a much closer relationship.
As thoughts rushed through his mind, Qing Yu showed a smile on his face, congratulating her, "To see my martial aunt emerging successful from seclusion eases my mind. These days have indeed caused me much concern."
He was very concerned, indeed, but only for a brief period before he learned that the "Taisu Primordial Skill" could materialize True Qi.
Xuanzhen naturally didn't take such exaggerated words seriously. This martial nephew of hers had deep schemes and never showed his emotions, hardly resembling the sensitive type.
Nevertheless, she responded with a smile, "Thank you for guarding the place. Has anything happened at the Zhenwu Sect during this time?"
"In such a short time, what could happen at the Zhenwu Sect? However, outside the Zhenwu Sect, there have indeed been some significant developments."
Qing Yu informed her of Xuan Guang's appearance and revealed the relationship between Xuan Guang and Tan Wuyan.
"It seems Xuan Guang has been causing trouble in the shadows? Is he seeking death? Does he still believe he can return to the Zhenwu Sect and take the Sect Leader's position?"
Xuanzhen's phoenix eyes radiated intense Evil Qi, the usually inscrutable martial aunt displayed a killing intent for the first time.
No one in the Zhenwu Sect didn't hate Xuan Guang. If it weren't for him, the Zhenwu Sect might not have so many troubles.
Xuan Guang's dream of returning to the Zhenwu Sect was pure delusion.
"I also don't think Xuan Guang is the type without self-awareness," said Qing Yu.
But with that in mind, what was Xuan Guang's purpose? And what about Tan Wuyan, why was he meddling in so many affairs and then suddenly committing suicide?
Creating so much turmoil behind the scenes and then committing suicide when he knew there was no escape seems like a cover-up for a deeper truth. These types of people are cannon fodder; there's a big fish lurking behind them.
