From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 400 Magic Power! Magic Power!
"Don't worry, the secrets of cultivation are only under my control. He can't possibly obtain spiritual energy from the outside world."

"Without spiritual energy, he could not have successfully cultivated that technique."

The woman was quite confident about this, because she was able to secretly cultivate herself because she was the creator of this world.

Others who enter the Yellow Millet Dream, even true immortals, cannot cultivate without spiritual energy.

"Wait, do you all remember that this old monster founded the Celestial Masters Sect? He even specially built a hundred-zhang-tall statue of a deity at his headquarters..."

"He must have figured out the basic methods of the divine way."

Among the group, the only girl suddenly spoke up.

In this lifetime, she has already infiltrated the Celestial Masters sect and has the deepest understanding of this sect.

Although the other followers do not possess extraordinary powers, since You Ming has extremely strong spiritual power, combined with his strange behavior of building such a magnificent statue, he is most likely on the path of divinity.

The source of Shinto is faith, which is a completely different system from spiritual energy.

Early Shintoism was based on the tribal people's reverence for heaven and earth and their belief in various natural phenomena. Gradually, as the thoughts of all living beings became mixed together, natural spirits were born.

That is, the original form of gods.

Of course, even earlier than these natural spirits were some innate deities. Some of the changes in contemporary deities also absorbed the advantages of innate deities.

"He doesn't have time."

"Even if he has the faith of the whole world, he is still in the most basic state of the divine way, and he cannot even purify the incense and transform it into divine power."

"Since it cannot be converted into divine power, the efficiency of using those incense sticks is not high."

Even if these offerings helped him enter the path of cultivation, his progress would be extremely slow.

The woman shook her head. With such a crude application of divine methods, even if You Ming were given another two or three hundred years, he would not be able to break through to the [Opening of Acupoints] stage.

In the eyes of the gods, divine power is an omnipotent existence. Any god who possesses endless divine power can do anything.

If there is no spiritual energy, then use divine power to transform it into spiritual energy.

If there is no matter, then use divine power to transform matter.

Divine power is like an all-powerful offering; you can use it to exchange for anything from the heavens.

Upon hearing what the woman said, the boys thought about it carefully and realized that it did seem to be true.

……

Three years passed in a blink of an eye.

You Ming was already 165 years old. Although his consciousness remained clear and his eyes were like stars due to his strong spiritual power, his body had long since withered like rotten wood.

His hair was dry and white, his blood vessels were exhausted, his breath was weak, and he could barely lift his hand.

He lay on the bed, his chest rising and falling almost imperceptibly, and he could faintly hear the shouts outside the Celestial Master's Hall:
"Heavenly Master, grant us peace!"

"May the Celestial Master live forever, with boundless longevity!"

It was as if countless believers were burning incense and kowtowing, worshipping with utmost devotion.

At this moment, he couldn't tell whether it was real or an illusion.

"Long live the Emperor... There is no such thing as long live the Emperor."

"Immortality is but a dream, it is all just an illusion."

You Ming looked up at the roof, his eyes vacant.

He had been cultivating for three whole years without slacking off for a moment, but he still couldn't take that first step.

Without spiritual energy in the world, no matter how he cultivates the "Mysterious Embryo Transformation Qi Technique," it is ultimately all in vain.

For three years, he refined his spirit and strengthened his will, yet he still couldn't condense even a wisp of magical power. "Longevity..."

He sighed softly, as if that breath was the last vestige of life within his body.

With a final breath, his heart finally stopped beating.

One hundred and sixty-five years have passed. He is tired, and his heart is tired too.

Even though his body stopped functioning, his spirit remained active.

His mind even fell into a strange state.

He seemed to hear countless mortals calling his name, and countless golden-red forces transformed into a surging torrent, surging from the void and merging with his spiritual power.

At this moment, he seemed to have broken free from the shackles of the physical body, and his spirit transformed into invisible light, floating in the void.

The light and faith merged, sustaining his continued consciousness.

The golden-red power of faith that enveloped him flowed in continuously.

He felt his spirit constantly transforming and growing stronger, which even gave him the illusion that he could use this power to do anything.

It was as if he had become a true god, truly omnipotent.

"If you are omnipotent, could you help me condense my first strand of magical power?"

You Ming's consciousness became active, and this thought had just arisen in his mind.

Suddenly, a large amount of golden-red faith power was completely consumed.

"boom!"

In the void, wisps of spiritual energy, thin as gossamer, suddenly condensed.

These spiritual energies were born directly from nothingness, breaking through the barrier of heaven and earth, and forcibly injected into his almost withered body.

The heart, which had stopped beating, began to beat slowly again.

His body instinctively activated the "Mysterious Embryo Transformation Qi Technique." After more than three years of idling, and after absorbing spiritual energy, the spiritual energy was instantly refined and purified, transforming into a strand of magic power as thin as a hair.

Although extremely faint, like a candle flame in the wind, it was real magical power.

The instant this magical power appeared, You Ming instantly used his consciousness to rotate the compass, entered the cheat code [Gengwu 10472931], and activated [Magic Power Boost].

Mana Boost: Immediately increases experience points by 100 upon use, directly increasing mana or breaking through cultivation bottlenecks.

In fact, You Ming had used the [Magic Power Boost] once during these three years because he had not been able to cultivate magic power.

His thought at the time was, since there is no spiritual energy, can I forcibly increase the magical power in my body?

But as it turned out, he failed. He had no magical power in his body, and only a wisp of attribute-less magical power was generated out of thin air. This conflicted with the "Mysterious Embryo Transformation Technique", making it not only unusable but also causing great damage to his body.

He must have learned quickly enough to use [Injury Distribution] in advance to minimize the damage, and at the same time, with the help of [Object Clipping], he directly transformed his body into a void, thus refreshing the mana within him.

Otherwise, his old bones would have been directly overwhelmed by that magic power.

However, this time, because he had refined the first strand of magic power, when he used [Magic Power Enhancement] again, the [Mysterious Embryo Magic Power] in his body instantly surged.

The magic washed over his body, causing his bones to crackle slightly, and his internal organs to seem to sprout new life.

Although the sudden surge of magical power was somewhat too violent, it was of the same origin as the [Mysterious Embryo Transformation Technique], and after circulating it a few times, he completely subdued it.

And this abundant magical power, with each circulation, brings vitality to the body.

His already withered body suddenly gained a few more days of life.
