Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms.

Chapter 185: The effect of freedom, the decisive battle that comes early
Absorb all the true gaseous body that is transformed from the evil Yin body after being killed into the blood extraction bottle.

Zhou Yan looked at the instruction on the bottle.

[Do you want to consume 3000 spiritual energy to convert the blood essence in the bottle into true energy essence?]

【Yes】

The next second, there was a flash in the bottle.

A colorless, transparent ball emitting a strange glow appeared in the center of the bottle.

Is this the essence of true Qi?
Zhou Yan turned the bottle upside down and took out the colorless, sparkling ball in his palm.

If you look closely, it looks like a spherical diamond.

[Medium Qi Essence: After taking it, it can fully replenish the Qi reserves]

Hmm. Turns out it’s the blue medicine!

Zhou Yan stored this essence in his ghost gourd. He couldn't use it for now, but he would definitely have the chance to use it.

Then he continued to look at another trophy.

That’s right, it’s the long-lost rune circuit core.

[Rune Circuit Core·Vision (2)]

[Rating: 1 stars]

[Effect: Added to the life equipment, increases spirit by 9 points, and activates "Vision Circuit (2)"]

【灵视回路（2）：同时与3枚「精神」1星符文共存于同一命装中时，额外获得「精神+15」、「对特殊气息的感应力+15%」以及「限定范围内灵光一闪（仅限一天一次）」的效果】

Although it is not very strong in direct combat, it is quite good in auxiliary aspects.

What's more, rune circuits are hard to come by now - ever since his life equipment was upgraded to one star, the difficulty of obtaining the circuit core when he travels in the Disaster Realm has increased a lot.

Many times, even if the enemy killed is rated one star or above, if it is not a certain level existence, basically only ordinary runes will be given.

Can't expect too much.

Zhou Yan equipped the new circuit and replaced the "See Through" circuit that specialized in enhancing sensitivity.

Then turned around and went back to the Demon Castle.

*
When Zhou Yan returned to the Demon Castle, not much time had actually passed.

For a strong man with his level of strength, due to the increased speed, the time spent on the same intense battle is much less than that of an ordinary human being.

For example, we just went through the three complete steps of "seeing the enemy", "chasing the enemy", and "killing the enemy".

If it were done by an ordinary person, it would probably take at least twenty minutes or even several hours. If the chase dragged on for a long time, it would most likely take ten days or half a month.

But Zhou Yan completed all this in less than three minutes.

At this time, inside the Demon Castle, many ordinary masters were still on guard in various positions because of the violent breakthrough of the Demon Yin Body just now.

Even Zhou Yan was stopped by vigilant personnel.

However, there is no need to mention these little episodes. Zhou Yan soon saw Xuan Zun who had returned to the main hall from the secret room.

Xuan Zun put on the black iron mask again, and from his appearance there was no sign of his weakness as he had lost his demonic body and was seriously injured.

"Brother Zhou, may I ask if you have killed the demonic body?"

Zhou Yan nodded: "It's done. Speaking of which, without that demonic body, will your strength be reduced?"

Xuan Zun smiled faintly and said, "Now that you have lost your demonic body, you can continue to cultivate. It is much better than losing your life."

He went on to say, "Brother Zhou, that demon's Yin body is extremely difficult to deal with. You killed it for me, which is tantamount to saving my life. I have also promised you a generous reward before. May I ask if there is anything else you need? I will do my best to get it for you."

Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head: "No need, I am already satisfied if you can give me the Zhenwu treasured by Tianmo Castle."

It's not that Zhou Yan is pretending here, but as a passer-by in this world of disaster, before he upgrades his life equipment to two stars and unlocks new permissions, he can basically not take away anything from this world except "knowledge".

Magical weapons, top-grade props, even if he sees them, it will only add to his troubles, so it is better not to see them.

Xuan Zun paused, but did not force it. He nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as I am alive, this promise will always be valid. If Brother Zhou wants to fulfill it at any time in the future, you can come to me."

After saying that, he paused for a moment and said, "Brother Zhou, Xuanpo told me that you plan to go to Yinluo Mountain to find the Human Demon Tower and wipe it out in one fell swoop. Is that true?"

Zhou Yan: “That’s right.”

"I also heard that you have a female companion who is waiting to be brought back to Tianque Valley by Xuan Jue to meet you. So you two can rest in our Tianmo Castle for a few days. Then I will send Xuan Jue and Xuan Po to accompany you to help you destroy the Human Demon Tower. Is that ok?"

Zhou Yan thought about it and decided that these few days would not make a difference. He could just study the three Zhenwu techniques given to him by Xuan Zun.

He nodded in agreement.

*
Seven days later, in the Demon Castle.

Zhou Yan slowly opened his eyes in his room, with a crystal light flowing in his left eye.

【Yi Xiaoyao (beginner)】

Become!

He finally got started practicing the mysterious Zhenwu recorded on the parchment!
It has to be said that, judging from the difficulty of learning alone, this Zhenwu named "Yi Xiaoyao" is much more exaggerated than the "Wuguishen" he had learned from Ba Jue before.

You should know that he mastered the martial art of Wuqueshen, which is a way of controlling fire, in just a short time.

Although it was inevitable that Ba Jue used his own true Qi and luck as a guide to enlighten him, it was also enough to show how exaggerated Zhou Yan's learning talent was.

Afterwards, he had mastered this Zhenwu to the "standard" level on the third day, and in more than ten days, he had mastered it from the standard level to the "proficient" level.

After all, he has an incredible spiritual burning state.

However, even though he had been continuously studying the spiritual burning technique, it still took him seven full days to master it. The reason why he was so surprised after mastering the Zhenwu technique was naturally because of its powerful effect.

According to the description on the parchment, the ultimate goal of Yi Xiaoyao's Zhenwu is to enable practitioners to reach the highest realm of "Tao".

Before reaching the highest realm, one needs to go through the realms of "gathering emptiness", "sitting and forgetting", and "all things being one".

Zhou Yan has now reached the entry level, which means he has reached the state of "Jixu".

As the first realm of this technique, its function is simple, yet amazing - he can practice multiple kinds of Zhenwu at the same time without having to worry about the problem of "conflict between different kinds of Zhenwu".

That’s right, there is a conflict between different kinds of Qi.

Whether it was Ba Jue or Xuan Zun, or Feng Wuxiang who had often communicated with him before, they all emphasized that it was impossible to practice multiple Zhenwu techniques at the same time.

If you practice multiple techniques, the different types of Qi will become mixed up and circulate in your body, which can lead to a high probability of going astray.

The principle is very simple - if water-attributed true qi is injected into the acupoint circuit of fire attribute, certainly nothing good will happen.

Of course, this restriction is not absolute.

For example, the strongest people like Ba Jue and Xuan Zun, their Zhenwu contains several branches, which can control different properties of true qi.

This is exactly the difference between the strongest and ordinary warriors - the strongest will practice a certain martial art to perfection after a long period of training, and then start to practice the next martial art, and then practice it to perfection before continuing to practice the next one.
Finally, with his amazing talent combined with the wisdom of his predecessors, he combined all branches of martial arts into one through a unique mental method, and practiced complex super-real martial arts such as "Wulian Xuanjian" and "Heavenly Demon Blood Burial".

Qualification, wisdom, courage and opportunity are all indispensable.

The difficulty is so high that it can almost be considered impossible to replicate.

Therefore, there are only a few people in Taiyuan Country who can be called "the strongest".

But this mysterious "Yi Xiaoyao" has solved this problem by just reaching the first level of entry.

The core acupoint cultivated in the first level of Yi Xiaoyao is the Qi Hai point, which is used to store true qi, also known as the Dantian.

Compared with the properties of other kinds of true Qi, the nature of the true Qi obtained by this Zhenwu mental method through transforming the spirit through the Qi sea is - virtual.

From the virtual comes the real.

When the virtual true Qi flows through the acupoint circuits of different Zhenwu, it will automatically transform into the required true Qi properties. This is why there is no need to worry about conflicts between different types of true Qi.

The final state of the strongest person is just the starting point in front of this magical "Yi Xiaoyao".

Zhou Yan felt that the original "fire attribute" true qi in his dantian was completely converted into "virtual attribute".

I couldn't help but want to try it.

So, he closed his eyes again and began to call up the contents of the top-level Zhenwu named "Canglong Zhenchan" from his memory.

The attributes of this Zhenwu technique just fits the nature of that "Eastern Wood Green Dragon" and represents the endless "wood" attribute. The core acupoint in its acupoint circuit is the "liver acupoint" among the five internal organs.

The core concept of Zhenwu is just like its name and the image of the Canglong hexagram.

Azure Dragon "Zhen" Zen - Azure Dragon is located in the east, and its hexagram position is "Zhen", which means thunder.

Therefore, this Zhenwu is a powerful martial art with the endless life as its inner scene and the vibration of thunder as its outer appearance.

To be honest, it is much better than the "Immaculate Body" that Zhou Yan first learned.

After all, the Zhenwu that Canglong Zhenchan is benchmarking against should be the "Wulian Xuanjian", and Wuguishen is just a branch of the Zhenwu of Wuliang Xuanjian.

Time passes slowly, and another whole day has passed
【Cang Long Zhen Zen (beginner)】

When Zhou Yan opened his eyes again, he had already completed the entry into the third level of Zhenwu!

He let out a long sigh and prepared to go find Long to check on her training progress.

Then go back to the room and practice the fourth Zhenwu "Dui Jin Sha Jian".

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, Xuan Po, who had been silently guarding him, came and asked him to go to Xuan Zun for a talk.

Zhou Yan called Long who was also practicing.

The three of them went to the main hall of the Demon Castle together.

Xuan Zun was still sitting there quietly wearing the black iron mask.

After seeing Zhou Yan, he said in a deep voice a shocking news:

"While you were concentrating on your training, Ba Jue sent someone to deliver a message."

"He has already conquered the Human-Demon Tower and recruited the five powerful Human-Demons hiding there as his own."

"With these human demon subordinates and many Qiwu practitioners, Zhulu will suddenly attack at the heroes conference organized by Dengxian Pavilion and slaughter countless heroes."

"The head of the Dengxian Pavilion, Zuo Muxuan, was seriously injured and disappeared, and the Western Wulin has completely fallen into ruin."

"Now, he asked me and Zizaitian to gather at the Central Imperial City Ruins in three days. If we don't go, he will come to our door one by one."

At this point, Xuanzun looked at Zhou Yan thoughtfully:
"The message specifically mentioned you, saying that no matter whether you are with me or with Qianshan League, you must come over to have a chat."

Zhou Yan listened silently to the news that Xuanzun said.

A smile appeared on my face.

Sure enough, plans are not as fast as changes. He originally wanted to complete the task step by step, and then have a final battle with the existence named Ba Jue, who is actually a chaos troublemaker.

But the Chaos Troublemaker was obviously very confident in himself, and he actually took the initiative to attack and help Zhou Yan gather the mission targets in one place in advance.

That’s fine, since someone has helped him to deal with the monster.

Then he just needs to go to the final destination and collect them all.
