The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 236: Mysterious Ghost Qi
The Xuanyin ghost energy is both a magical power of the devil and a strange art of the ghosts.

In fact, in the world of Zhu Xian, in addition to the three true methods of the magic, Taoism and Buddhism, there are also side methods such as the secret techniques of the ghost path, southern border witchcraft, etc. Although they are different, they can all point directly to the origin of the world of Zhu Xian.

To cultivate the Xuanyin ghost energy, one needs to absorb a large amount of the earth's demonic energy and ghost energy of ghosts before one can achieve great success.

In the underworld, there is not only the demonic energy of the earth, but also the formless demonic shadows, which can all serve as nourishment for Fang Hao to cultivate the mysterious Yin ghost energy.

In the original novel, Qiu Wangyu was able to cultivate from an ordinary disciple of the Demon Sect to become a peerless demon in the early Taiqing Realm. The unique environment of Mingyuan was extremely important.

But if one wants to refine the Xuanyin ghost energy to perfection, one needs the help of the ghost energy of the ghost soul, which requires absorbing the essence of countless living people before one can practice it.

Therefore, there is a reason why the Demon Cult in the Zhu Xian world is called the Demon Cult.

Most of the evil cults' skills take shortcuts and go to extremes, killing countless people at will, extracting marrow and refining souls, which is a common occurrence.

Although Fang Hao planned to practice the magic skills, he was not interested in such immoral things as killing people to refine their souls.

In the original novel, even though Taoist Master Daoxuan fell into the evil path, he only practiced the mysterious ghost energy in gloomy places like Yizhuang, and never harmed innocent people.

Fang Hao asked himself, after all, he is stronger than Daoxuan.

"There are countless evil spirits under the Dead Abyss. It is a perfect place to absorb ghost energy and cultivate the mysterious Yin ghost energy." Fang Hao thought to himself.

Having made up his mind, Fang Hao did not delay and started practicing directly in the ruins of the Samsara Palace.

The magic practice of Qigong is quite similar to the Taoist practice of Qigong. It also requires drawing Qi into the body, transforming Qi into essence, and finally refining it into the "Xuanyin Yuanqi" unique to Xuanyin ghost Qi.

In the unique environment of the Nether Abyss, Fang Hao completed the process of drawing Qi into the body at an extremely fast speed. After circulating the demonic internal Qi in his body for 9981 cycles, he transformed it into Xuanyin Yuan Qi.

During this period, the Buddhist and Taoist magic powers that Fang Hao had painstakingly cultivated for many years frequently attacked and rejected the evil energy that Fang Hao had introduced into his body.

Fortunately, Fang Hao had a deep understanding of the first volume of the Heavenly Book. He used the Heavenly Book as the general outline to sort out the true methods of the three schools of magic, Taoism and Buddhism in his body.

These three kinds of vital energy and magical powers with completely different attributes are gradually showing signs of fusion.

Fang Hao was not in a hurry. He focused on cultivating the Xuanyin ghost energy. His cultivation of the magic method was too poor. Even if he forced it to merge, it would be difficult to maintain a balance with the vitality and magic power of Buddhism and Taoism.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to improve the cultivation of Xuanyin ghost energy.

Fang Hao practiced in the Nether Abyss for nine consecutive days, and cultivated the Xuanyin ghost energy to the level equivalent to the late Jade Purity Realm, and then injected it into the soul-capturing stick in his hand.

The next moment, the soul-stealing magic wand that had been indifferent to Fang Hao suddenly emitted a faint light.

On the inky black rod, nine dark red veins like blood vessels also became clearly visible. This was a sign that the soul-stealing rod was activated.

The Nine Netherworld Divine Weapon that had swallowed the Blood-sucking Pearl was obviously very fond of the Xuanyin ghost energy that Fang Hao had brought into it, so it reacted immediately.

It is true that the Soul-Capture Rod is a piece of divine iron from outer space that fell into the Netherworld and was refined using the ghost fire of the Netherworld to burn evil spirits.

He was naturally naturally familiar with the Xuanyin ghost energy that Fang Hao had cultivated.

Next, Fang Hao spent only a little effort to successfully subdue the Soul-Capture Rod and used this Nine Netherworld Divine Weapon, a fusion of the ghost and magic ways, as his own magic weapon.

With the help of magic weapons, Fang Hao tried to kill the formless evil shadows lurking in the ruins of the Nether Abyss.

Compared to practicing the true secrets honestly, devouring and plundering is the only way for the demon cultivators to quickly improve their cultivation.

This is also the most criticized point of the magic cult's practice. Sometimes, many magic cult monks will become cruel and bloodthirsty and lose themselves because their state of mind cannot keep up with the growth of their cultivation.

But for Fang Hao, his character and perseverance had been tempered by the true methods of Buddhism and Taoism for many years, and his Taoism heart had long been solid. The demon sect's predatory way of increasing cultivation did not have too many side effects for him.

Therefore, killing the formless demon shadow and improving his magic skills became Fang Hao's main task in the next stage.

……

"boom!"

In the dark ruins of the underworld, a three-headed tiger-like demon shadow with wings on its back howled towards the sky. Ink-black ghost fire spewed out from the three bloody mouths of the three-headed demon tiger and hit Fang Hao.

Fang Hao calmly looked at the monster in front of him. The soul-catching stick flying in front of him emitted a faint glow, which swallowed all the ghost fire that was shooting towards him.

At the same time, Fang Hao formed seals with his hands and slapped the ground. Suddenly, dozens or hundreds of ink-black lines emerged from the ground.

It didn't take much effort to tie up the three-headed demon tiger tightly.

As the three-headed demon tiger continued to struggle, Fang Hao muttered something, and the soul-stealing magic wand in front of him shot out, instantly piercing the heads of the three-headed demon tiger one by one.

"Buzz!"

As soon as the three-headed demon tiger died, it turned into pure earth demonic energy and was absorbed into Fang Hao's body.

At this time, the Xuanyin energy in Fang Hao's body had reached a critical state. After absorbing the demonic energy from the three-headed demon tiger, an astonishing transformation occurred.

Above the Nether Abyss, demonic energy from the abyss would gather from time to time and form a vortex in the sky, like the eyes of an ancient god or demon, slowly opening.

Above the ground, Fang Hao sat cross-legged. Above his head, pure demonic energy continuously flowed into his body.

A hideous skull seal slowly took shape and gathered in front of Fang Hao. This was the "Xuanyin Ghost Seal", which was capable of both offense and defense. It was a magical power that could only be formed after successful cultivation of the Xuanyin ghost energy.

"Finally, I've reached the Shangqing Realm!" Fang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the changes happening in his body, and said with great joy.

It has to be said that with an adequate supply of demonic energy, Fang Hao's practice of Xuanyin ghost energy has made rapid progress.

In just over three months, he had cultivated the Xuanyin Ghost Qi to the Shangqing realm, catching up with the cultivation progress of Taiji Xuanqing Dao and Dafan Prajna.

However, due to the unique geographical environment of Mingyuan, his own magic cultivation seems...can be improved!
In the original novel, after the former Demon Cult leader Qiu Wangyu returned from his practice in the Nether Abyss, he had reached the level of cultivation equivalent to the early Taiqing Realm, and only then did he unify the Demon Cult.

If I continue to practice like this, I can reach the level that Qiu Wangyu reached back then!
"Absorb, devour, refine, plunder, and I will be able to become the devil among devils!" A flash of blood flashed in Fang Hao's eyes.

At this moment, the Xuanhuojian on his left arm slowly emitted a warm power and flowed into Fang Hao's body.

Stimulated by this extremely masculine and powerful force, Fang Hao immediately came to his senses and quickly started practicing the great methods of Buddhism and Taoism to stabilize his mind.

"The magic cult's skills are indeed weird. I have hardly caused any killings, but my character has been affected invisibly. No wonder, even with Wanrenwang's heroic character, he can't control the power of Shura."

Fang Hao said with lingering fear: "It seems that we can't stay in this damn place anymore. It's time to leave."

One hundred days in the underworld is equivalent to ten years of hard training. After staying in the underworld for more than three months, Fang Hao finally decided to return to the vast land of China.

But how to leave?
This place doesn't look like there is an exit at all?

"Come, come to me..." An inexplicable murmur, like the whisper of gods and demons, appeared in Fang Hao's mind.

Following the guidance in his heart, Fang Hao fixed his gaze on a certain location, where an unknown existence was calling him.
