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

Chapter 233 The Changes of the Stars, Is the Sun the End?
A celestial abode.

Qi Sheng took out the 'Azure Sun Pillar' and the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl' and attempted to refine them.

However, the magical power he poured in was like a stone sinking into the sea; no matter how much he poured it in, or how much Qi Sheng urged the Seven Returns Technique, it was all in vain.

"The Xuan-level artifact is too advanced."

"But my Seven Returns Technique is too low-level."

Qi Sheng sighed.

It must be admitted that the wonderful technique "Seven Returns Technique" that his former master's wife Wu Shuang passed down to him is no longer enough for him at his current level, at the level of Xuanqi (mystical artifacts).

It can't be refined.

It's impossible to refine it.

"I need a more powerful technique for refining magical artifacts."

"Mystic arts would be best."

However, of the four profound techniques he obtained from the Netherworld Sect this time, there were offensive, defensive, and escape techniques, but none of them were techniques for refining treasures.

Can only wait.

"After the eight demons destroy the Netherworld Sect, we will have no worries about either mystical arts or mystical weapons."

Qi Sheng eagerly awaited the moment when the Netherworld Sect would be destroyed.

As for whether the master's wife or others might be accidentally injured, that won't happen.

Wu Shuang and the others had already fled the moment Qi Sheng's identity was exposed, out of guilt.

Nominally, they went on a journey to travel the world, but in reality, they had already traveled thousands of miles and disappeared into the mountains. If the Netherworld Sect were to use the 'Death God Blade', they could be tracked down.

But at this moment, the Netherworld Sect is probably already struggling to survive due to the eight strange beings, so how could they have the leisure to go after a few small fry?
The Netherworld Sect's invincible realm expert couldn't spare the time to search for him.

Those strange beings could not possibly have originated from the Netherworld Sect to harm Wu Shuang and the others.

Qi Sheng can rest assured.

"Everything will be alright once the Netherworld Sect is destroyed."

Qi Sheng was already planning a comprehensive program after that. He had lofty ambitions. He had previously established the Four Phases Sword Sect as a trial run, and now it was time to use the Netherworld Sect as a stepping stone to reach a larger stage.

even.

He also has a speedrun strategy, which is just waiting for the Netherworld Sect to be destroyed, and it is extremely versatile.

Qi Sheng felt a little excited at the thought of the promising future that was about to unfold.

However, before that, let's see if we can refine the 'Azure Sun Pillar' and the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl'.

"The 'Qingyang Pillar' and the 'Zeding' are both among the eighteen treasures used by the five ancestors of the ancient barbarian lands to control the floods, and perhaps they also possess spirituality."

Qi Sheng first communicated with the 'Qingyang Pillar'—

Submit to me!

Submit to me!

Submit to me!

The 'Qingyang Pillar' remained completely still and showed no reaction.

Qi Sheng changed his approach: "I have only been cultivating for six years, but I have already accumulated more than two hundred years of cultivation. Ascension to immortality is just around the corner, it's only a matter of time. If you are willing to follow me, you will not have to be confined to one place or guard one region. You can follow me to enjoy the scenery of the world, and even see what the Lingkong Immortal Realm is like. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Qi Sheng said all the right things and then used the 'Seven Returns Technique' again: "If you agree, then release the restriction so that I can refine it; if you do not agree, I cannot force you."

As Qi Sheng finished speaking, he simply continued to cast his spell.

however.

buzz~
As he was refining it, the 'Azure Sun Pillar' suddenly attracted the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl' beside it with a buzzing sound, and it was immediately welded firmly to the top.

The two are one.

"What kind of fame?"

Qi Sheng was startled. Could it be another combination set?
I'm still thinking about it.

Suddenly at this moment.

But then, a sense of terror emanated from the 'Azure Sun Pillar', or rather, from the 'Azure Sun Pillar' and the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl' after they merged.

After these two mysterious artifacts merged, the pillar no longer resembled a pillar, and the bead no longer resembled a bead.

It's more like a scepter inlaid with jewels.

The two mystical artifacts combined to create an immensely powerful force, seemingly defying the natural order. The heavens and earth trembled, and Qi Sheng sensed a tremor.

Then.

He then thought that the Netherworld Sect had given him the two profound artifacts, the 'Azure Sun Pillar' and the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl,' so easily. Now he realized that they probably had ulterior motives, and perhaps this sudden change was already within their expectations.

"Could they be planning to summon a heavenly tribulation to exterminate me?"

Qi Sheng's lips twitched.

He flicked his sleeve, intending to take the precious staff with him and return it to the Netherworld Sect.

pity.

Unshakeable.

"Oops!"

It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away!
We've really been outmaneuvered.

Qi Sheng frowned. He looked up and saw dark clouds gathering and thunderclouds gathering in the sky. It really seemed like a heavenly tribulation was about to occur.

"Then you guys continue, I'll stay out of the way for a while."

Qi Sheng decided to hide first.

But then he discovered that the tribulation clouds were locking onto him indiscriminately, regardless of whether he was good or bad. The moment he moved, he felt an impending doom, and the heavy suppression made it difficult for him to move.

He was willing to use Huang Chuan, but he was afraid that if he went to the Netherworld Sect, he would either be killed by those demons or beaten to death by the enraged Netherworld Sect's several invincible realm experts.

They died over there; their deaths are nothing to regret.

The worst-case scenario is that after he dies there, the tribulation clouds will still not let him go and will destroy the 'Heavenly Essence Blood' he hid in the Immortal Abode. That would be a disaster.

Qi Sheng frowned, pondering a solution.

suddenly.

at this time--

[Difficulty: Level 1 · ★★★★★★★★☆]

[Rating: ★★★★; Although you used external forces to kill the 'Blue Silver Grass,' the demons were violent, and your presence in the human world caused immense suffering and death. Your merits and demerits are difficult to quantify.]

Reward: 8388608 Merits

……

"hiss!"

"It's saved!"

Qi Sheng was delighted.

Unexpectedly, the Netherworld Sect sent such a great gift at this critical moment. Unexpectedly, the Netherworld Sect was able to powerfully kill two of the eight strange beings, who were at least at the Invincible Realm, in a short period of time.

One of them was even an eight-and-a-half-star monster, and it didn't cause too much damage, so much so that its rating was as high as four stars.

Think about it carefully.

Previously, it took the Netherworld Sect a long time to kill both the eight-star 'Eight-Clawed Lion King' and the eight-star 'Silver Ape', especially the Silver Ape, which took a full month to kill.

But this time, how long has it been?
too fast!
But this doesn't mean the Netherworld Sect is alright. On the contrary, the swift killing of the 'Nine-Tailed Rat' and 'Blue Silver Grass' shows that the Netherworld Sect is in a panic.

They must have used some unusual backup plan, first forcefully killing two eight-star and eight-and-a-half-star monsters, probably because they couldn't hold on any longer.

and.

The fact that only two strange deaths have been reported, leaving six remaining, speaks volumes.

This is undoubtedly a double celebration.

"Good, good, good!"

Qi Sheng couldn't help but be happy.

Currently, including the recent killing of the 'Silver Ape' by the Netherworld Sect, Qi Sheng has a total of 12571392 merits.

Over twelve million!

Absolutely massive!

However, these skills, whether it's the "Four Sword Techniques" or the "Seasonal Skills," are difficult to achieve invincibility.

Again.

Even if Qi Sheng relied on the "Four Sword Techniques" or the "Seasonal Techniques" to reach the invincible realm, he would not be certain that he could withstand the attack of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, Qi Shengde sought change.

'Spiritual possession' was used as a last resort to escape.

Before this.

Neither the Four Sword Techniques nor the Seasonal Techniques were his hopes. What Qi Sheng truly pinned his hopes on at this moment was—

The Three Maps to Heaven!
……

The "Three Maps to Heaven" were obtained by Qi Sheng from the guardian stone tablet of this immortal abode. They are divided into three parts—

The first picture is a simple body training to increase physical strength.

The second picture is more mysterious and can change easily.

The third picture is based on the first and second pictures. In addition to strengthening the first two pictures, it also adds the ability of "rebirth by dripping blood".

Qi Sheng had previously relied on the profound physical body he had cultivated using the "Three Diagrams of Heaven" to disguise himself as Han Fu and remain undetected for so long.

That's not all. Including his close combat skills, at that time, the twelve levels of the "Seasonal Technique" were not enough. It was precisely because of the foundation laid by the "Three Diagrams of Heaven" that Qi Sheng was able to be invincible in close combat and win battle after battle.

now.

He wanted to go a step further than the three paintings, to combine them into a single exercise, which was to—

Stellar Transformations!
……

In fact, Qi Sheng had already discovered after he had mastered the three diagrams. When he practiced the three diagrams smoothly and completely and pushed them to their limits, black, yellow, and golden beams of light would appear in succession.

As the three beams of light overlapped on him, Qi Sheng could vaguely hear whispers in his ears.

After listening to it many times, I gradually came to understand what the voice was saying—

"Travel the infinite universe and experience its evolution."

"To open up blessed lands and grotto heavens, and to interpret the changes of stars and celestial bodies."

……

then.

A three-colored armor made of 108 columns of energy formed on Qi Sheng's body surface.

Along with this came a method called "Stellar Transformation" that evolved from the "Three Maps of Heaven".

This is not a method of self-cultivation.

Rather, it is the method of evolution from blessed lands and grotto heavens.

The person who created this method wanted to overcome heaven and earth with human power, to develop and expand the blessed land and grotto heaven, to interpret the changes of stars, and to grow into a true heaven and earth.

Isn’t that bold?

A blessed land and grotto heaven.

Ascend to the heavens and earth.

In this universe, in the realm of heaven and earth, this is the only way of thinking, the very essence of this approach.

Ascend to Heaven and Earth
This person occupied the ninth grotto-heaven in this place. At the beginning, he recruited disciples widely and told everyone that he was going to ascend to the heaven and earth.

Oh.

All the disciples and followers were very excited.

very excited.

Ascend to Heaven and Earth
They've been talking about elevating the world to a higher level.

But in the end, that person still failed.

Only this ninth grotto-heaven has survived.

What is the Ninth Grotto Heaven?

When Qi Sheng first saw it, he wondered if there were eight more grotto-heavens.
Eh!
It really does.

But all of them failed in the process of upgrading.

The first eight grotto-heavens represented eight failures. He died while waiting for the grotto-heaven master to open or find the ninth small grotto-heaven, preparing to verify his method of upgrading the grotto-heaven once again.

Only a wisp of remnant soul managed to return, banishing the Ninth Grotto-Heaven and leaving behind the "Three Diagrams of Heaven" and the subsequent "Stellar Transformation," which is the technique for the Grotto-Heaven to ascend to the level of Heaven and Earth.

However, this technique is still imperfect. As of now, it only provides a method to enhance the cave heaven, but it does not have the ability to truly ascend to a higher level.

But now, it is exactly what Qi Sheng needs.

"Come!"

"start!"

Qi Sheng had long been familiar with the methods of "Stellar Transformation".

This method progresses from the "original beginning" to the "yin and yang", then to the "three powers", then to the "four symbols" and "five elements", and theoretically all the way to the sun, moon and stars, and the celestial constellations. From this point on, the grotto-heaven is considered to have been upgraded to the heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, the founder only extended it to the 'Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals'. The 'Three Diagrams of Heaven' is a rudimentary introductory version that evolved from this. The reason why its body refinement is so powerful is because it is supported by the power of the source of heaven and earth or the power of the origin of the cave heaven.

Stalactites.

Only then can one understand the mysteries of creation and be free from all taboos.

now.

Qi Sheng was about to use the Stellar Transformation technique to have the entire Ninth Heaven resist the Heavenly Tribulation for him.

"There's no rush to overcome the tribulation; I'll focus on my studies first!"

Qi Sheng began his cultivation.

……

【Stellar Transformation】

……

[Achievements: -310 million]

【Stellar Transformation】

[Yin Yang and the Two Forms: Introduction (0/20)] (+)

……

With the first level of "Stellar Transformation," 'Primordial Beginning,' mastered to its ultimate state—

Rumble!
Suddenly, the Ninth Grotto Heaven roared. The stone tablet that originally recorded the "Three Maps to Heaven" was actually the core origin of the Ninth Grotto Heaven.

It exploded with a deafening roar at that moment.

The essence of the source flowed entirely into Qi Sheng's body, merging with him.

Since then.

This grotto is his; it is his grotto, and no one else can take it away from him.

There's no need for Huang Chuan anymore, nor will he be confined to a radius of ten thousand miles. As long as he's still in this world, Qi Sheng can use "Stellar Transformation" and activate "Primordial Beginning" to return to this cave at any time.

For the heavens and earth, and for grotto-heavens, spatial distance is the least meaningful thing.

This Ninth Grotto Heaven may seem to be located in Changwei Mountain, or in the Wild Frontier, but it may not actually be in Changwei Mountain, or in the Wild Frontier, or even in this Xuanming Realm.

It just so happens that I sensed it.

With the help of this ninth grotto-heaven, which serves as a springboard, Qi Sheng will be able to travel throughout the entire Xuanming Realm, provided that a trace of the grotto-heaven's origin remains in a certain place. This is the coordinate.

Without coordinates, it's easy to get lost.

Once the coordinates are established, Qi Sheng can even use the 'Ninth Grotto-Heaven' as a springboard to return whenever he leaves the Xuanming Realm.

It's all simple.

This is the 'One Beginning'.

"hiss!"

"Absolutely awesome!"

Qi Sheng was shocked.

If he had known that "The Beginning of Oneness" was so powerful, he would have practiced it long ago.

of course.

Even though he already knew, it would have been difficult for Qi Sheng to gather the merit points, which were often around three million, in a short period of time.

Moreover, before the "Primordial Beginning" is perfected, the town's stone tablet will not be shattered, he will not be able to obtain the origin of the cave, and his own strength will not improve at all.

This was also beyond what Qi Sheng, who desperately needed combat power at the time, could bear.

"Now."

"just."

After completing "The Beginning of Oneness," Qi Sheng was full of confidence and no longer feared the mere heavenly tribulation.

But he didn't stop; he wanted to press on with his momentum—

[Achievements: -620 million]

【Stellar Transformation】

[The Beginning of Oneness: Perfection]

[Yin and Yang: Perfection]

【Three Powers Separated: Introduction (0/30)】(+)

……

With the completion of the Yin-Yang Two Principles, Qi Shengren no longer saw a chaotic scene in the cave, but a clear distinction between Yin and Yang.

He looked at the staff formed by the combination of the 'Azure Yang Pillar' and the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl' and saw that the 'Azure Yang Pillar' was full of yang energy, while the 'Corpse Suppressing Pearl' was filled with yin energy.

Yin and Yang in harmony.

Ultimate evolution.

This will trigger a heavenly calamity.

In other words, these two mysterious artifacts are in cahoots and have a history of collusion, and they're about to rebel against the heavens!
"Going against Heaven is not a good thing."

"Isn't it good to follow the will of Heaven?"

Qi Sheng used the Yin-Yang Two Elements technique, drawing upon the power of the grotto-heaven's origin, to easily separate the two treacherous magical artifacts.

The Green Yang Pillar is also the Green Yang Pillar.

The Corpse-Suppressing Bead is also the Corpse-Suppressing Bead.

Qingyang Pillar looked at the Corpse-Suppressing Pearl.

Look at the Qingyang Pillar with the Corpse-Suppressing Pearl.

Jieyun glanced at the Azure Sun Pillar and the Corpse-Suppressing Pearl, then left.

Qingyang Pillar and Corpse-Suppressing Pearl stared blankly at the dissipating tribulation clouds, then looked at Qi Sheng.

then.

The scene was extremely bizarre!
