After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 181, Six Trials [Requesting Double Monthly Tickets!]

That's it!

Qi Sheng suddenly realized.

That day, when Madam Hong was captured alive, the beautiful woman immediately admitted defeat and surrendered. Qi Sheng felt that she would not be honest, so he secretly used some tricks.

Sure enough, she found an opportunity to escape after only three days.

such a pity!
If it weren't for Qi Sheng's methods, she really would have escaped—

[The Five Lustful Magics of the Heavenly Devil: Perfection; Great Accomplishment Technique: Desire Demon]

“The ‘Desire Demon’ is planted in a person and exists along with their emotions and feelings, making it difficult to detect. However, I can sense that person’s location anytime and anywhere through the ‘Five Lustful Magics of the Desire Demons of the Heavens’.”

"This method is absolutely brilliant for marking and tracking."

It was precisely by relying on this method that Qi Sheng was able to easily track down Madam Hong from over a hundred miles away and appear in time to save her.

Madam Hong escaped a period of loneliness.

However, her escape method was indeed quite ingenious. It was by relying on this escape technique that she had accidentally obtained in her early years that Madam Hong was able to successfully escape after secretly casting spells for three days.

Now, that escape technique—the one that allowed Madam Hong to break free from Granny Xian's 'Five-Colored Net'—has now become Qi Sheng's.

[The Five Directions and Five Elements Taiyin Imprisonment Escape Method: Not Yet Entered (3899)]

"That's a wonderful spell!"

With this method, one will no longer be afraid of magical artifacts and spells that bind or imprison one; it is truly a wonderful way to escape.

However, nothing could be more wonderful than the 'Three Peaks Sexual Encounter Technique' that Qi Sheng obtained from Old Demon Cha's cave.

[Three Peaks Sexual Battle Technique: Perfection; Grand Mastery Technique: Dragon and Tiger Intercourse, Yin and Yang Great Joy Fu]

"The Three Peaks' sexual techniques are based on 'absorbing yin to replenish yang'."

"The 'Dragon and Tiger Intercourse Yin-Yang Great Joy Ode' derived from it can absorb the other party's knowledge and skills."

This is truly incredible!

It was precisely by relying on these secret methods that Qi Sheng was able to condescend to play along with Madam Hong.

Unfortunately--

"Ode to the Great Joy of Dragon and Tiger Union, Yin and Yang"—Excellent!
Mrs. Hong, you're wicked!
This dignified master of Jintong Cave is clearly not lacking in strength and skills, yet he has only cultivated the "Scripture of the Dead" to the sixth level, placing him at the same level as Jiang Shu, Wu Shuang, and Eunuch Mu. It is truly a waste of Qi Sheng's feelings.

It's a pity that he worked so hard all night, giving it his all, only to end up with the sixth level of the "Dead Man's Scripture," just one more level.

"Pity!"

"I only hope that after she returns to the Netherworld Sect, she will feel ashamed and then be brave enough to practice the 'Scripture of the Dead' properly."

After interrogating Madam Hong, Qi Sheng dismissed the others.

The beautiful woman, still somewhat doubtful, swayed gracefully and flew away.

She probably couldn't have imagined, even if she racked her brains, that Qi Sheng let her go back simply because he wanted her to come into contact with and practice more of the "Dead Man's Scripture" techniques, so that when he slept with her again, he could obtain more techniques from her through the "Dragon and Tiger Intercourse Yin-Yang Great Joy Ode".

"Mrs. Hong can still bring herself to eat it."

"If it were one of those old-age women from the Netherworld Sect, even if they could cultivate the 'Scripture of the Dead' to the ninth or even tenth level or higher, it would be really disgusting for me to sleep with them."

Qi Sheng sacrificed too much for the "Scripture of the Dead"!

……

The fifth level of the "Scripture of the Dead" is the fifth stage of cultivation, called "Great Heavenly Cycle," or in full, "The First Essential Method of the Secret Technique of Circulating Qi to Heaven, Taking in Qi at the Midnight Hour, Six Numbers and Six Degrees, Closing the Dipper, and Greatly Circling Thirty-Six Times to Cultivate Heaven and Refine Elixir."

This level——

Return first.

Body wheel.

Ground wheel.

Sky wheel.

When a practitioner completes the Great Circulation, the cultivation of the human body is thus perfected.

The next level is called 'Yinyuan', which also has four realms: Tongtian, Chedi, Xishen, and Zhuanlun.

It is based on the 'Great Circulation'—

The sky wheel reaches the sky.

The earth wheel penetrates the earth.

Body wheel washes the body.

Then the three wheels turned——

It reaches heaven and earth.

Upright.

Only when the human body is connected with heaven and earth can it absorb the mysterious vital energy between heaven and earth.

The fifth level, the Great Circulation.

The sixth level is Yinyuan Pass.

Crossing from five to six, one goes a step further, reaching the heavens and the earth.

Although there is no direct improvement in strength.

However, different levels of Taoism can carry different amounts of mana, which also has an indirect impact on strength.

More importantly, as your cultivation level improves, your lifespan will also increase accordingly.

After passing the Great Zhoutian Gate, you will be free from illness and disaster and can live to be 150 years old.

The Yinyuan Pass connects heaven and earth, allowing one to receive the baptism of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, thus adding ten years to one's lifespan.

Immortal way!

Prolong your life!

Immortality!
This is the fundamental reason why every immortal cultivator is willing to endure such hardships.

Otherwise, if this bird fairy practices without increasing his combat power and just sits in boring meditation all day, who would be willing to practice?
"Yinyuan."

"Yangyuan."

"Liao Yuan."

"After winning three prizes in a row."

"Entering the ninth stage of rebirth, this stage begins from the 'Turtle Breathing State'. Although the turtle is short-lived, if one can achieve a lifespan of three hundred years, he can be called a patriarch!"

"Master's wife."

"Sister."

"Wang Qun".

“They are all struggling to find this level.”

But very few people can succeed.

Many people, knowing that immortality is hopeless, turn to cultivating magic, focusing their energy on 'magic' that can grant immense combat power but not immortality. From the perspective of orthodox immortality, this is a crooked path, a side path. However, greater strength allows them to travel freely and easily, and also provides them with better opportunities to compete.

Yes.

To cultivate magical arts.

Whether it hinders or helps in cultivating immortality is hard to say; opinions vary.

Many people simply cannot manage to do both.

Qi Sheng wouldn't—

"Reaching the heavens, penetrating the earth, cleansing the body, and turning the wheel."

"I completed this 'Yinyuan Pass' in one go!"

……

【Dead Man’s Sutra——】

[Level 6:]

[Twenty-first level (Heavenly Passage): Entry Level (0/21000);] (+)

……

The "Book of the Dead" becomes increasingly terrifying as you progress. We are currently only at the first stage of the sixth level, and it takes 2.1 merit points just to go from the initial stage to the point of mastery.

The sixth level, second stage: 2.2 merits.

Level 6, Third Realm: 23,000 merits.

Level 6, Fourth Realm: 24,000 merits.

"To master these four realms, you need 9 merits."

Qi Sheng wasn't short of money, but for the "Scripture of the Dead," 'proficiency' was merely the most basic requirement for moving from one realm to the next.

To break through this barrier, one must first master all four realms of the previous barrier and grasp their essence to pass it with ease. This requires a great deal of effort.

"Double it again."

"180,000 merits." In other words, even if Qi Sheng already possesses the cultivation technique for the seventh level, he still needs a full 270,000 merits to break through the sixth level and meet the requirements for cultivating the seventh level.

"This is incredibly difficult!"

Qi Sheng sighed, realizing for the first time that not obtaining too much of the "Dead Man's Scripture" cultivation technique at once was a good thing.

Insufficient effort.

Take it easy.

Good.

Qi Sheng gathered his thoughts, calmed himself down, and immediately began to practice the "Scripture of the Dead." Talk is talk, but practice is still practice!
……

Imprisoned Dragon Abyss.

Xuanbing Cave.

Qi Sheng and his group rested here temporarily.

Changsun Bing wants to practice swordsmanship.

Mingxuzi and Granny Xian are searching for the elixir of immortality.

Qi Sheng could also calm down and practice the sixth level of the "Scripture of the Dead".

Fortunately, this didn't take up too much time.

"The secret passage I know that leads to the depths of the Dragon Prison Abyss is not far from here. In another month or two at most, the poisonous miasma at the passage will all sink into the ground. At that time, we can use it to go directly into the heart of the Dragon Prison Abyss and the chances of obtaining the elixir of immortality and other rare treasures will increase a hundredfold!"

Ming Xuzi searched the underground of the Xuanbing Cave for three consecutive days but failed to find any trace of the elixir of immortality. He had almost given up hope and placed his hopes on the next month or two.

Qi Sheng asked curiously, "The patriarch said that this passage opens once every thirty years. He must have gone in thirty years ago. I wonder what it's like inside, and what rare treasures it contains?"

This is actually the question that Lai Wen, Changsun Bing, and Granny Xian also wanted to ask.

Ming Xuzi sighed, “The clouds and mist in this Prison Dragon Abyss are usually blocked all year round and rarely clear. It’s still relatively good here. If you go in for about a hundred miles, you will see that the fog ahead is so thick that it is completely dark and you can’t see anything even a few feet away. Let alone recognizing the road, you can’t even see the shadows of the mountains.”

"Smoke and mist gathered from all sides, making it impossible to pass through."

"As for riding the clouds and wielding the sword, one must have a wide field of vision. Otherwise, it's fine if one doesn't have speed, but if one speeds up recklessly and crashes into something, one will be smashed to pieces. But it's not worth wasting mana if one doesn't have speed. Therefore, most of those who actually enter the Dragon Imprisonment Abyss walk over mountains and valleys."

But this presents another problem.

The Dragon Prison Abyss is known for its ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, making it impossible to guard against. In addition, the abyss is covered with lush vegetation and thorns, most of which contain poison, making it even more difficult to deal with.

Want to fly?
In this Dragon Prison Abyss, smoke and mist swirl, heaven and earth are indistinct, and there is no end in sight. Anyone who dares to fly will die!
Want to walk?
There were also ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, thorns, and poisonous plants.

correct.

And there were also heavy miasma, poisonous fog, and murky smoke.

It was truly fraught with difficulties and countless obstacles.

Restricted area.

This is no exaggeration; the dangers far outweigh the opportunities.

Ming Xuzi said, "The mist and poisonous miasma in that passage will take time to dissipate, and it will close at the end of the year at the latest. The first two times I went in, I had not finished my worldly affairs and was still thinking about the mortal world outside. I did not explore it deeply and thoroughly, and I left before the passage closed. Therefore, I gained very little."

But this time——

Ming Xuzi looked at everyone and smiled, "This time I went in and have already dealt with all my past affairs. I don't plan to come out again. You are still young, so please remember the time. Otherwise, being trapped inside for thirty years is a small matter, but I'm afraid that the dangers inside will be unbearable during those thirty years."

Qi Sheng, Lai Wen, and Changsun Bing exchanged glances, and all three of them deeply agreed.

Even though Qi Sheng has only been cultivating for four or five years, if he were to be trapped in the Dragon Prison Abyss for thirty years, by the time he came out, the world would probably have changed drastically.

……

time flies.

The barbarian lands do not keep track of years.

Qi Sheng, unsure whether he had transmigrated or awakened his innate wisdom, designated that year as the 'Year One of Cultivation'.

On the first day of the third month of the first year of the Immortal Cultivation Era, Qi Sheng joined the Netherworld Sect.

After two years of cultivating immortality, on the 18th of the second month, I joined the Jade Well Cave.

After two years of cultivating immortality, on the fifteenth of the ninth month, he entered the Immortal Abode.

After three years of cultivating immortality, on the sixth day of the second month, he betrayed the Netherworld Sect.

After three years of cultivating immortality, on the third day of the third lunar month, he founded the Four Symbols Sword Sect at Changwei Mountain.

After five years of cultivating immortality, on the third day of the third month of the same year, Qi Sheng, along with Ming Xuzi, Granny Xian, Lai Wen, and Changsun Bing, entered the Dragon Prison Abyss.

In a blink of an eye.

Two months have passed.

……

This day.

Suddenly, a beam of cold light pierced through the top of the Xuanbing Cave, and just looking at it sent chills down one's spine.

Qi Sheng was overjoyed upon seeing this: "Has it succeeded?"

Lai Wenxi couldn't help but say, "The flying sword that your fourth sister-in-law forged is extraordinary. It was condensed from the essence of the two extremes of Xuanbing in the extreme North Sea by the ancestor Changsun two or three hundred years ago. When used, it can transform into billions of swords, with endless wonders. It has been passed down for more than two hundred years and has long been enlightened through generations of refinement."

It turns out that Changsun Bing's 'Ice Soul Divine Light Sword' is the ancestral divine sword of the Changsun family.

Qi Sheng laughed and said, "This divine sword was passed down to Fourth Sister-in-law, and it has reached a higher level. I wonder how many layers of earthly evil restrictions it will eventually form."

The Earthly Fiend Magic Artifact can have up to 72 layers of Earthly Fiend Restrictions.

among them--

Floors 1-27 are considered lower levels.

Floors 28-54 are considered mid-level.

Floors 55 to 72 are considered high-level.

Previously.

The powerful treasures in Qi Sheng's possession, such as the 'Flying Whisk' and the 'Eight Swords of Sorrowful Clouds', are only 48 layers of Earthly Fiend Restrictions, and are only mid-level Earthly Fiend Magic Weapons.

Most experts on the market only use mid-level or even low-level Earthly Fiend Magic Artifacts.

The 'Ice Soul Divine Light Sword' in Changsun Bing's hands has been carefully refined by generations of experts in the Changsun family, and already has fifty-four layers of Earthly Fiend Restrictions. As long as it takes another step forward, even if it is just one more layer of Earthly Fiend Restrictions, the energy will undergo a qualitative change, and the flying sword will achieve a leap. From then on, it will become a high-level Earthly Fiend Magic Weapon, and its power and mystery will all be on a higher level.

however.

Lai Wen speculated: "'Snow Soul Pearl' and 'Ice Soul Divine Light Sword' are of the same origin and are extremely compatible. Now that they have been refined, it must be more than just adding one or two layers of restrictions."

The two waited.

Ming Xuzi and Granny Xian, who were exploring the bottom of the Xuanbing Cave, noticed the commotion and flew up as well. They were overjoyed to hear that the divine sword was about to be completed.

The commotion was immense and lasted for quite a while. Fortunately, it was in the Dragon Prison Abyss, and even the outer area was still sparsely populated, so no one came looking for it.

Thus, when Changsun Bing walked out, everyone's eyes lit up. A goddess with a bright smile but exuding an aura of purity and frost walked out gracefully, carrying a divine sword in her hand, truly captivating.

Lai Wen was the first to step forward: "Junior sister, you've worked hard."

really.

True love doesn't care how high she flies, it only cares whether she's tired from flying.

Qi Sheng, being rather crude, stepped forward and asked curiously, "Fourth Sister-in-law, how many layers of restrictions have you refined?"

Changsun Bing's pretty face was flushed, and her eyes were brimming with joy: "This time, we have succeeded in creating the nine-layered restriction. Thank you all for your help!"

Fifty-four plus nine equals 63 layers of restrictions.

"it is good!"

"Such a divine sword is not much inferior to the supreme treasures of the five sects!"

Mingxuzi clapped his hands in praise.

Everyone offered their congratulations, and laughter filled the Xuanbing Cave.

It’s time.

Ming Xuzi suddenly paused, and when everyone looked at him, they saw a look of surprise on his face: "Today is truly a day of double happiness."

One piece of good news is that Changsun Bing has mastered the divine sword.

Where is Erxi?
Changsun Bing exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that the passage has been opened?"

"Hahaha!"

Mingxuzi laughed loudly: "Absolutely right, absolutely right."

He had left treasures at the entrance of that passage, and he could immediately sense the dissipation of the poisonous miasma nearby.

Just now, a sensation arose, clearly indicating that the passage had been opened.

He addressed the delighted crowd, saying, "Gentlemen, follow me!"

As for this place, after nearly two months of exploration at the bottom of the Xuanbing Cave, we haven't even seen a trace of the elixir of immortality, so we might as well leave without any lingering attachment.

The group of five immediately headed deeper into the area.
