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

Chapter 252: Swapping a Shotgun for a Cannon
"You two are too kind."

Qi Sheng watched the three kings die suddenly, then looked at Li Pei and Yuan Zhi, and laughed, truly not expecting this.

The Giant Axe King, Blood Cloud King, and Heavy Arrow King were clearly the three strongest beings below the Immortal level in Redstone Town, yet they perished simply because they had a falling out with him and he mentioned them.

even.

Qi Sheng didn't even mention the heavy arrow king, and Li Pei and the other man proactively cut him off with a "buy two get one free" deal.

Qi Sheng sighed.

He had two main reflections—

First, we must fully realize just how much the Immortal Town values ​​and treats fellow immortals with respect and friendliness.

Yes.

It means to attach importance to it.

It's friendly.

It's not about being afraid or trying to please.

Qi Sheng could tell that Li Pei and Yuan Zhi regarded him as one of their own, and were naturally close to him, which was why they were being so polite.

It's definitely not because I know where their hideout is.

No, not that one.

'The immortals of the Metaverse are one family.'

Qi Sheng now truly understands the significance of those words.

Also.

second.

Qi Sheng finally realized just how worthless the Immortal Town's war soldiers were.

Giant Axe King.

Blood Cloud King.

Heavy Arrow King.

Isn't that impressive enough?

The top 3 out of 18,000 soldiers in Redstone Town.
But what about it?

Just because he provoked Qi Sheng, just because Qi Sheng mentioned it, he went to the Yellow Springs in an instant, without even a chance to explain or beg for mercy.

The power of life and death.

Everything is immortal.

It's ironic when you think about it.

Within the Immortal Town, warriors are incredibly honored. Imprinted with their origin, they are immortal and indestructible, the envy of hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Immortal Town. Even if ordinary cultivators have higher cultivation and combat power, they cannot defeat those immortal warriors. They are high above, arrogant and domineering.

but.

One thing brings down another thing.

These arrogant, immortal warriors, placed before an immortal who wields a portion of the power of origin, could have their lives taken at any moment, their fate decided with a single thought.

Too humble.

It's never equal.

Qi Sheng felt this deeply.

He was very fortunate—

I'm glad I'm not an ordinary cultivator from the Yuan Realm.

I'm glad I'm not an immortal warrior from Immortal Town.

Fortunately, he transmigrated to a relatively stable and peaceful small world like the Xuanming Realm.

If not.

Even with the 'divine intervention panel,' it would be extremely difficult for him to break through the current predicament and rise to power so rapidly.

Fortunately!

Fortunately!

……

Qi Sheng was polite in words only.

I felt relieved.

this side.

Despite losing three generals in a single day, Li Pei and Yuan Zhi remained completely unfazed. They looked at Qi Sheng and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Qi, you're from Red Stone Town. Where are you headed this time? Are you simply traveling through the vast Yuan Realm, or are you heading to those great realms?"

The "greater realms" that Li Pei refers to are those worlds that are far more complete than the world's small towns—

The nine strongest and largest worlds are known as the 'Five Directions' and 'Four Seas'.

The next level up are the 'Eight Extremes' and the 'Twelve Continents'.

Further down.

The third tier is known as the 'Upper Realm,' consisting of approximately one hundred and twenty seats.

The fourth category is 'territory', consisting of approximately 1,200 islands.

The fifth category is called 'small realm', which consists of approximately 12,000 sites.

Further down.

The 'world town' can be considered the lowest level of surviving world.

Countless, as numerous as the stars.

Li Pei knew best that for a newly ascended immortal like Qi Sheng, the first thing he wanted to do upon achieving this was to leave the area previously confined by the Immortal Town, to venture out and find more towns around the world to interact with, and to explore more great realms.

They are lonely.

Eager to communicate.

They are ignorant.

A thirst for knowledge.

Li Peidong.

He understands everything.

Having been through it all, Li Pei treated the newcomer Qi Sheng with great warmth: "My Red Stone Town has a map that records the locations of 122 immortal towns, 28 small towns, 11 territories, 4 upper realms, and the 'Canglan Continent' among the twelve continents. It may be able to guide Fellow Daoist Qi."

Li Pei easily took out the map and handed it to Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng was delighted.

It was like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy; this map was a lifesaver for him in his most pressing situation.

Qi Sheng accepted it and quickly thanked them, saying, "Thank you both, fellow Daoists. That was indeed my intention."

With this map, he can explore in a targeted manner.

Not to mention those smaller realms, territories, upper realms, and even continents.

Even ordinary world towns contain the essence and heritage of an entire world. If Xuanming Realm were to be transformed into a world town in the future, it would certainly not lack at least Xuan-level spells, and even Gang spells above Xuan-level spells would not necessarily be lacking.

Such is the Xuanming Realm.

The same applies to other fairy towns.

Moreover, the Immortal Town is unaware of its own resources and heritage. Its immortality relies on its undying nature, allowing it to roam freely throughout the Yuan Realm. It has acquired a considerable number of high-level cultivation techniques and spells.

For example, in Redstone Town, the soldiers of the Second Realm were bestowed with many magical techniques and magical weapons.

On the other hand, what about Qi Sheng?
The Four Symbols Sword Manual, painstakingly cultivated, is merely a technique of qi (罡术).

Taking another step forward, one can form the "Heavenly Will Sword Technique" and achieve the complete "Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique," which is then the supreme "True Art."

Besides.

All other spells are considered low-level and remain at the level of mystical arts.

It was a perfect ending.

Not good enough.

The Perfected Mystic Arts are only equivalent to the Great Accomplishment of the Divine Arts, or merely to the mastery of the True Arts.

Limited potential.

There is a limit.

It's still usable for now, but it's really not enough for the future.

Qi Sheng urgently needs more and higher-level spells to improve himself.

Their martial arts skills are somewhat lacking.

Ideally, it should be genuine skill.

Qi Sheng seized the opportunity and shamelessly asked, "To be honest, my purpose in going out this time is threefold: first, to make friends; second, to explore; and third, because the lineage in my Jade Well Town is not high and the foundation is shallow, I wanted to come out to seek some true techniques and methods to suppress the fortune."

True techniques can be cultivated in the second realm.

The true Dharma can cultivate two realms.

This is not a common, easily found method; even in many great realms within the Yuan Realm, it represents the foundation of a particular lineage.

Further up.

It is the core inheritance of a lineage of Taoism—

It is called 'Precious Technique'.

It is called 'spiritual magic'.

That's a different level altogether.

And what about Qi Sheng?

To date, he has studied—

The complete version of "The Four Symbols of Heaven's Will" can be considered a 'true technique'.

The complete version of the "Scripture of the Dead" is only the "Mysterious Method." Although it points directly to the second realm, it is cut off when "leaping over the dragon gate." In reality, it is extremely difficult to take the final step and extremely difficult to achieve the second realm of Qi Absorption.

The "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Exercise" is called an exercise, but it is actually a technique. Although it is strong in combat, it is only half a level higher than "mystical arts". It can barely be considered a "half-step Gang technique", not even a true Gang technique, let alone trying to compete with true arts.

Also.

All the other cultivation methods and spells that Qi Sheng obtained from the Xuanming Realm were roughly the same, and would not be considered respectable in the Yuan Realm.

Except for Stellar Transformation.

These are other spells, and because they were not fully created, it is difficult to know their specific grade or their limits.

But in terms of power, it is immense.

It was precisely because of this technique, along with the Ninth Grotto Heaven, that Qi Sheng dared to run rampant in the Yuan Realm.

This technique.

Needless to say.

Apart from that, only the "Four Symbols of Heavenly Will" is worth mentioning; everything else is not worth mentioning.

A single spell, after all, has limited power.

Qi Sheng urgently needs to search for more spells. In fact, 'true spells' are secondary; the key is 'true methods' that can be cultivated.

After entering the Metaverse.

For the first five years, they traveled like headless flies.

Then he had a peak battle with the Giant Axe King.

These experiences taught Qi Sheng that—

Taoism.

mana.

While it cannot directly enhance combat power, it is quite effective in improving endurance and other more subtle aspects. Therefore...

The true Dharma is very important.

The Book of the Dead is outdated.

……

"True art."

"True Dharma."

Li Pei and Yuan Zhi exchanged a glance and simultaneously laughed, "This matter is easy for you."

In fact, for immortals like them, everything is taken lightly.

What kind of real skill is that?

What true Dharma?

What kind of ritual implement?

What kind of inheritance?

That's all bullshit.

Only when the town has abundant natural resources and develops well can it truly succeed.

As immortal beings of the Immortal Town, their foundation rests solely on the world town where they reside.

Both are prosperous.

If one is harmed, all are harmed.

For the immortals of Immortal Town, the inheritance of true techniques and true methods is really nothing.

It can be easily used to make friends with immortal like-minded people, without any burden at all.

Yuan Zhi took out two jade discs from his bosom and handed them to Qi Sheng: "These are the 'Taiping Jing' and the 'Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada.' One is the 'True Method,' which directly points to the three realms. The other is the 'True Technique,' which is the best for traveling. With eight consecutive steps, one transforms into a cicada that seems to have passed through a spring and autumn, and can travel 108,000 li."

Yuan Zhi smiled and said, "The Taiping Jing is righteous and peaceful, and progresses step by step. It is suitable for beginners and practitioners. This is the true method that I obtained from the Taiping Xiaojing Taiping Dao."

“‘Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada’ is a true travel technique that I learned during my travels in Canglan Continent in my early years. It is extremely difficult to learn, but once mastered, it allows for extremely fast travel.”

Yuan Zhi looked at Qi Sheng: "The Yuan Realm is vast and boundless. As fellow immortals, Fellow Daoist Qi knows, we desperately need a true technique to travel."

This is the truth.

The metaverse is too vast.

Qi Sheng set foot in the Yuan Realm, traveling tens of thousands of miles a day for five years, and in the end, he only encountered a small town called Redstone Town.

While it's true that Qi Sheng's lack of knowledge of maps and routes led him to wander aimlessly like a headless fly, this was partly due to his ignorance of them.

But it is also related to the fact that the Yuan Realm is vast and sparsely populated.

now.

Even if Qi Sheng obtained the map, the journey from one world town to another, or to various small realms, territories, upper realms, and continents, would still be long and arduous.

The true art of traveling.

essential.

Yuan Zhi is truly considerate, relieving Qi Sheng's urgent crisis.

Qi Sheng accepted the true method and technique, and sincerely thanked them: "I am ashamed to accept it, and it would be disrespectful to refuse it!"

"Ha ha!"

Yuan Zhi and Li Pei both laughed.

In the gray fog.

High on the mountain.

The atmosphere instantly became cheerful.

……

Qi Sheng only stayed in Hongshi Town for three days.

Over the past three days, he has been chatting with the two immortals, Li Pei and Yuan Zhi, and has finally gained a better understanding of the Yuan Realm.

But he did not stay long.

three days later.

Just leave.

This is because most of the strange phenomena surrounding Redstone Town have been eliminated by the cultivators and soldiers within Redstone Town, making them relatively rare.

If Qi Sheng wants to cultivate and make rapid progress, he must hunt down a large number of strange creatures as resources.

Staying near the Immortal Town really hinders leveling up.

So I simply left.

Although Li Pei and Yuan Zhi were reluctant to part with him, they knew that the newly promoted immortal was ambitious and would not stay in one place for too long, so they did not try to persuade him to stay.

then.

Qi Sheng once again embarks on a journey to explore the primordial realm.

But this time, he had a goal.

Follow the map.

The path leads directly to the Canglan Continent.

Since we're going to go anyway, let's skip those smaller realms, territories, and higher realms, and go to the most prosperous, developed, and flourishing continent where cultivation is at its peak.

Metaverse!

The Eight Continents!

There are only eight such vast territories throughout the entire Yuan Realm, where there are plenty of geniuses and abundant resources.

Qi Sheng hadn't forgotten—

"True skills and methods require countless resources."

"Instead of struggling to earn a living in a small, insignificant place like Immortal Town, why not go to Buzhou and take a chance!"

Qi Sheng has clear ideas.

He had looked at the map and knew that on his way to Canglan Continent, he could pass through 14 immortal towns, 3 minor realms, and one upper realm by taking a slight detour.

just.

Qi Sheng could also search for cultivation supplies in these areas along the way, so as not to delay his cultivation by rushing on the road.

……

The primordial realm is vast.

Qi Sheng slaughtered indiscriminately.

With the support of "Stellar Transformation" and the "Ninth Heaven" as his backing, Qi Sheng showed no fear and rampaged through the land, gaining countless merits.

Previously.

Aside from his main cultivation of the "Four Symbols of Heavenly Will" technique, Qi Sheng had been accumulating all his remaining skills and hadn't used them hastily. He had only learned a few mystical arts and cultivated the "Scripture of the Dead."

There's still a lot left over after the work is completed.

During his four years in the Xuanming Realm, Qi Sheng earned an average of 4000 million merit points per day, accumulating a total of 576 billion merit points.

He then entered the Yuan Realm, where he spent five years earning an average of 2000 million merit points per day, for a total of 360 billion merit points.

Nine years in total.

The revenue reached 936 billion.

among them.

The "Four Symbols Sword Technique" in the "Four Symbols Sword Technique" costs 31 billion to complete from the beginning to the end of each chapter. The total cost for all four chapters to be completed is 124 billion.

He also revised the "Four Symbols Sword Manual".

From beginner to mastery, it cost a total of 310 billion.

In addition, there were some other miscellaneous attempts.

The largest portion is "Stellar Transformation"—

The first to ninth levels were alright, only consuming 13950 million power.

The energy consumption increased dramatically from the tenth to the eighteenth level, consuming 13.95 billion energy points.

From the nineteenth to the twenty-seventh floor, the energy consumption surged again, consuming 139.5 billion power points.

The 28th floor: 31 billion.

The 29th floor: 62 billion.

The 30th floor: 93 billion.

The thirty-first level: 124 billion.

This is the end.

The balance is not much, only a little over 30 billion left.

Such a small amount of effort is actually a drop in the ocean compared to true skills and methods.

Fortunately.

Qi Sheng can still make money.

"The mystical arts are perfected, with billions of merits."

"The technique is perfected, with hundreds of billions of merits."

"True skill perfected, with merits amounting to hundreds of billions."

"The true Dharma is perfected, requiring at least trillions of merits."

Merit is worthless now.

The data explosion.

If it weren't for the fact that his speed of gaining merit had also increased, Qi Sheng would have almost thought he was going to collapse.

Fortunately.

He's earning money very quickly now.

"Before, I was just slacking off and focusing on getting things done, averaging 20 million a day."

"If we focus on this moment and actively hunt while traveling, we can increase our numbers at least fivefold a day. A small goal every day is no problem at all."

One hundred million a day.

A true skill can be perfected in at most ten years.

A true method can be mastered in a hundred years at most.

This doesn't even take into account that after Qi Sheng's strength improves and his methods increase, his speed in hunting monsters and earning merits will also increase, at which point this time can be further reduced.

"Compared to the Great Axe King and others who have cultivated for nearly a thousand years, their martial arts are mediocre."

"My speed is unmatched."

Qi Sheng did not find it offensive.

Eight steps to catch the cicada.

A frenzied massacre.

The first thing he wanted to revise was the *Taiping Jing* (Scripture of Great Peace).

"His cultivation level is low."

"Insufficient magical power."

"It seriously affects the speed at which I can earn merit by hunting monsters."
