My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 752 Magical Powers

"The Yellow Springs Gourd is still nowhere to be found, but he has already mastered the Nine Apertures of Fetal Breathing."

"I'm a proper Qi cultivator, so why do I always end up mastering these unorthodox and unorthodox methods first?"

Chen Mu scratched his head.

Just like before, he never specifically cultivated the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique, but unexpectedly cultivated the Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body.

This time was no different; the Heavenly Demon Body suddenly advanced and inexplicably mastered the Nine Apertures of Fetal Breathing.

"Is it because I've been nourishing the Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon's body with Yin energy?"

The Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body is extremely special; it is both an unorthodox Heavenly Demon Body and a Yin Spirit. While cultivating according to the unorthodox methods of Heavenly Demons, it is actually advancing along the path of Yin Spirit cultivation. Previously, it was by nourishing the Heavenly Demon Body with Yin Qi that it cultivated the Yin Spirit Divine Embryo.

“Nourishing with Yin energy might indeed lead to mastering the nine orifices of fetal breathing, but it couldn’t be done so quickly.” After a moment’s thought, Chen Mu slowly shook his head.

Yin spirits have long lifespans; after awakening their spiritual insight and ghostly markings, their lifespan is comparable to that of a Qi cultivator at the Dao Foundation stage. However, the difficulty of their cultivation far exceeds that of a Qi cultivator. Each stage requires at least several decades or even hundreds of years of painstaking effort to overcome.

"There's probably more to it than meets the eye."

Chen Mu's mind sank into his brow.

At this moment, the divine embryo still resembled a round, bright pearl, radiating a warm glow, with the flames of delusions and emotions swirling around it. However, the gray mist surrounding the divine embryo began to slowly disappear.

That gray mist was the Netherworld Qi that could nurture Yin spirits into Yin deities; it was forged by the Nine Aperture Divine Embryo using all of his Yin spirit divine power.

At this moment, they are surging towards the Heavenly Demon Body in the Great Qian Dynasty of Yunzhou through the secret aperture between their eyebrows.

Chen Mu glanced at it and then looked at the divine embryo itself.

The Netherworld Qi is certainly magical, but he is now more concerned with the reasons for his mastery of the Nine Apertures of Fetal Breathing.

Soon, nine hidden energy pulses were discovered deep within the divine embryo, one of which pointed to the secret acupoint between the eyebrows.

"The so-called nine orifices are not within the divine embryo, but rather refer to the nine secret orifices that the Heavenly Demon Body originally possessed?" Chen Mu was filled with astonishment.

In his early years, he relied heavily on the possession of the Five Ghosts. After practicing it extensively, secret acupoints were opened within his body.

The secret technique not only enhances physical fitness, but also gradually awakens the Five Elements Escape Technique, which allows the body to merge with all things and still has wonderful uses today.

He opened a total of nine similar secret points, eight of which were separated and entered into the Heavenly Demon Avatar, with only the secret point between his eyebrows remaining as a link to his main body.

"That makes sense."

“It is indeed necessary for ordinary spirits to cultivate for many years to open up the nine orifices.”

"But I had already completed the opening of the nine orifices long ago, so it's not surprising that I was able to master the nine orifices of embryonic breathing so quickly."

As I pondered, a series of messages flooded my mind—the feedback from the stone gate.

Chen Mu read through the document carefully, and the reasons for this change became increasingly clear.

"The Nine Secret Apertures were not perfect originally, but they gradually matured because of the nourishment of the Yin Qi."

"Furthermore, since the Yama True Aperture Ghost Pattern originally originated from the Nine Apertures of the Yin Soul, it was now activated by it, and the Nine Apertures were connected as one, which is why he was able to cultivate the Nine Apertures Fetal Breathing in one fell swoop."

"Tsk tsk, all these years of diligently refining Yin energy to nourish the Heavenly Demon body have not been in vain."

"Here comes the harvest!" Chen Mu said with a face full of satisfaction.

He grinned and laughed for a while before coming back to his senses and continuing to browse through the insights in his mind.

Then it was discovered that the Nine Aperture Divine Embryo could not only refine Netherworld Qi, but also had a new ability.

"Yama's Feasting Divine Power? What the hell?"

With a thought, a wisp of gray-black smoke mixed with silver threads appeared in Chen Mu's palm.

The Yin Spirit's embryonic breathing has nine orifices, similar to a Qi cultivator's internal cultivation of spiritual treasures, while celestial demons and heretics shape their innate abilities.

Once the Yellow Springs Gourd is mastered, a secret technique called Yellow Springs Qi is created. The innate abilities of celestial demons and heretics also hold hidden mysteries.

Therefore, after a spirit cultivates the nine orifices of fetal breathing, it may also awaken innate supernatural powers.
"Hey!"

"Unexpected joy!"

……

After a moment, Chen Mu, based on the feedback from the stone gate, understood the effect of the supernatural power, but expressed doubt about the result.

"Yama feasts, devouring its form and spirit, consuming all things, and thoroughly understanding their true meaning."

"By consuming an enemy, one can master their supernatural powers?" "The Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon... is it really that powerful?"

The Yellow Springs Sect has a record of seventy-two Dao Foundations, and the Heavenly Demon Cloud Mirage Dao Foundation is one of them.

However, the Cloud Mirage Catalogue is ranked last, and its only ability is Bewitching Illusion.

According to records, the Celestial Demon Cloud Mirage can conjure anything it devours. Those who master the Cloud Mirage Dao Foundation Diagram will thus gain the ability to simulate the energy of all things and create illusions.

But the illusion only has its form; it cannot grasp the deeper supernatural powers and true meanings.

"But... what if?" Chen Mu secretly hoped.

"Shimen has never issued any false information."

He flipped his hand and pulled out the heavy, iron-like Fire Cloud Gourd.

This gourd was a magical artifact that he had snatched from Lu Ku, one of the seven siblings of Wushan, in his early years.

It can spew flames, and its power is considerable, but he mostly uses it to roast meat.

After mastering the Fire Cloud Spell to level three, he stopped practicing it extensively.

"Isn't it said that it can devour everything? Magical artifacts are also one of the myriad things."

The gray-black smoke in his palm expanded and completely enveloped the gourd.

At first there was no reaction, but after a while, some tiny black sand particles, about the size of pinheads, fell off the surface of the gourd and floated away.

Scattered insights also surfaced in my mind, but upon closer examination, I felt completely unaware of them.

"Yama's Feast seems to truly possess the ability to devour all things and perceive profound mysteries, but its speed..."

Chen Mu looked at the almost intact Fire Cloud Gourd and his face twitched.

"The Cloud Mirage Demon is still that incompetent demon."

"I shouldn't have had any expectations," he muttered, pursing his lips.

Just as he was about to withdraw his supernatural power, a picture of stars in the night sky suddenly appeared in his mind.

"A Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed?"

"Why are they running out here to join in the fun?"

Just as I was wondering, the entire night sky suddenly began to flash.

The black and gray mist, which had been drifting slowly, suddenly accelerated.

Like a group of piranhas, they spun rapidly around the fiery cloud gourd.

The tough Fire Cloud Gourd, like soft tofu being rapidly impacted by high-speed flying sand, has its smooth surface visibly becoming pitted and uneven.

In just a quarter of an hour, Chen Mu felt his palm go empty. The entire Fire Cloud Gourd turned into a pool of black powder, which fell through his fingers and then disappeared completely as specks of fluorescent light.

Then, a flood of insights suddenly rushed into my mind.

Chen Mu, his face filled with shock, summoned the gray stone door and quickly examined the entries within.

Fire Cloud Spell: Limit;

Weapon Forging Technique (Fire Cloud Gourd): 1957/10000;

"No... this Yama's Feast Divine Power, it really works?!" Chen Mu's eyes widened involuntarily.

With just a thought, a ball of blue flame appeared in his palm.

As the palm flips, it bounces freely inside and outside the palm. The air is scorched and distorted, yet the palm feels no damage or pain.

Moreover, he felt that as long as he was willing to give up his magic power, the flames in his palm could instantly transform into a fiery cloud covering the entire Golden River City.

This ability is the perfect, ultimate version of the Fiery Cloud Spell!

Not only that, besides the Fire Cloud Curse, he also unexpectedly obtained a portion of the Fire Cloud Gourd's crafting method.

"He swallowed the Fiery Cloud Gourd and then learned how to refine it?"

"That's fucking outrageous!"

Even though he had been cultivating Qi for many years and had seen many storms, Chen Mu was still stunned by this display of supernatural power.
