Fantasy/Heroic: Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, Earthly Sovereign!

"One should not be greedy for more in spiritual practice, nor should one be impatient."

"Do not belittle or neglect others because of their level of attainment."

"Let me first tell you about the two realms of mortal body and Qi cultivation."

Master Jinxia spoke slowly.

"Ordinary people are those martial arts practitioners you usually see, who hone their physical bodies and replenish their qi and blood."

"A single punch or palm strike can shatter stone tablets and split rocks; even a peak mortal body is immune to heat and cold..."

Upon hearing the description of the mortal body, Yuwen Tuo reflected on his own.

I realized that my understanding of the concept of spiritual realm didn't quite align with what I was told.

He already possessed sword energy within his body and could control it.

My blood and qi are not very abundant, I can still feel hot and cold, and I also feel tired.

"...Qi cultivation is for those at the peak of the mortal body. It begins from the inside out, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and integrating it into their own body."

"To control it with one's own power, and then to use those powers to manipulate the laws of heaven and earth, such as wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth."

After explaining the two realms, Master Jinxia looked at the two children.

"Both of you have good cultivation aptitude, especially Tuo'er, whose aptitude is excellent and who has already surpassed the accumulation of the early stage of mortal body."

"I will pass on to you two a Qi cultivation method, a secret technique that has never been passed down in my Cangqiong Cave. You two must listen carefully."

Jinxia Zhenren praised Yuwentuo, which was a serious exhortation.

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes, Grandmaster!"

Ying Tianming and Yuwen Tuo both agreed.

"This method is called the Zhou Tian Qi Gathering Cultivation Method. It was created by the predecessors of my cave, who imitated the ancient ferocious beast Taotie."

"Imagine the human body as a ravenous beast, and the spiritual energy of the universe as its sustenance, maximizing the use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own benefit."

Master Jinxia first briefly explained the origin and specific effects of the exercise, and then went on to explain in detail the method of practicing the exercise.

Yuwen Tuo and Ying Tianming carefully memorized the method and tried to understand its profound mysteries.

Yuwen Tuo has a very good physique and the ability to remember everything he sees.

You can remember it after hearing it only once.

Although Ying Tianming's aptitude was not bad, he only remembered most of it on the first try.

After Master Jinxia gave him a few more pointers, he finally remembered the rest.

Only after confirming that both of them had memorized the text did he begin to have Yuwen Tuo and Yuwen Tuo cultivate.

The two sat cross-legged on the futons, with their palms facing upwards, practicing the method of circulating qi throughout the body.

With each breath, Yuwen Tuo sensed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

He was very talented, and his body had been modified by the sword energy of the Xuanyuan Sword.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers into the body, making the already well-transformed physical body even stronger.

He easily reached the mortal realm, and a surge of spiritual energy emanated from his body.

"Truly, he possesses exceptional talent; in less than a quarter of an hour, he has already mastered the basics of cultivation."

Jinxia Zhenren praised it highly.

Although Yuwen Tuo's strength was weak, he seemed to see a rising star about to emerge!

With such talent, one is destined for great things.

A stream of spiritual energy slowly began to circulate around Ying Tianming, who was standing to the side.

But it's slower than Yuwentuo; it's not that fast.

Seeing that his disciple had also absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and stepped into the world of cultivation, Master Jinxia nodded in satisfaction.

This disciple is also quite talented.

However, it is slightly inferior to Yuwen Tuo.

As Yuwen Tuo's cultivation progressed to the mortal realm, the connection between him and the Xuanyuan Sword within his body deepened.

Golden sword energy surged within his body, echoing the Xuanyuan Emperor Star beyond the heavens.

The once dim imperial star shone even brighter.

In the Demon Realm, Demon Lord Chonglou looked up at the sky, his gaze able to pierce through time and space.

Upon seeing the Xuanyuan Emperor Star in the heavens brighten, Demon Lord Chonglou's eyes flashed.

He was formed from the bloodline of the ancient Chi You, and his supernatural powers were the strongest in the demon realm.

He saw through the Demon Lord's schemes clearly.

"The Xuanyuan Emperor Star shines brightly again, which means that the earthly emperor has begun to enter the realm of cultivation."

"Back then, Xuanyuan and Feipeng had some connection. Perhaps we can use the person who triggered the Emperor Star to find the whereabouts of Feipeng's reincarnation."

A thousand years ago, the Demon Lord Chonglou befriended General Feipeng, the God of War of the Divine Realm, and they became close friends.

However, General Feipeng was responsible for guarding the Heavenly Gate.

He later fought against the Demon Lord Chonglou many times, but the Heavenly Emperor seized the opportunity to banish him to the mortal realm, where he was reincarnated.

Over the millennia, countless cycles of reincarnation have occurred.

Chonglou also went to look for his friend, but finding someone who has been reincarnated is extremely difficult.

Moreover, when he goes to the mortal realm, he will be suppressed by the laws of the mortal realm, so it will not be so easy.

"The schemes that guy devised can be used, saving me the trouble of thinking."

As soon as Chonglou had a thought, a demonic thought quietly descended.

He wielded immense power.

That demonic thought instantly traversed time and space, arriving at Ning Ke, who was refining a treasure in the Demon Palace.

They slipped in silently, without anyone noticing.

Ning Ke showed no reaction whatsoever and continued refining the treasure.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the cave on Jinxia Mountain, Yuwen Tuo was enveloped in golden light, making him exceptionally radiant.

The spiritual energy within a radius of several feet surged into his body like a giant vortex.

Outside the cave, Shan Yuwu looked at the vortex of spiritual energy above with a tense expression, quite worried.

The Golden Cloud Immortal standing to the side was secretly alarmed.

Is this child about to break through to the Qi Refining Realm after only half a month of cultivation?

Moreover, judging from the scale of this gathering of spiritual energy, it is much stronger than that of those who have been in the Qi Refining realm for a long time.

Indeed, he was born with extraordinary abilities, unlike ordinary people.

Master Jinxia glanced at her disciple Shan Yuwu and comforted her:

"Tuo'er's cultivation seems to be aided by the gods, and he also has the Xuanyuan Sword protecting him, so he will be fine. You, as his mother, can rest assured."

"Thank you for your comfort, Master."

Dan Yuwu forced a smile, but how could she put her mind at ease?

She was well aware of the path of cultivation, and that every step she took was extremely difficult.

Not to mention that just half a month ago, this child didn't know how to cultivate at all.

Now that she has stepped into the path of cultivation and entered the Qi Refining Realm, how could a mother not worry about something going wrong?

Ying Tianming was also watching from the side, and he was quite envious of his junior apprentice's rapid breakthrough.

Inside the cave, Yuwen Tuo's body underwent extremely complex changes.

Thunder rumbled and boomed.

Golden lightning bolts struck down from within his dantian, scattering the darkness.

The Xuanyuan Sword was positioned in the center, as stable as Mount Tai.

A rich life force surged from the void and entered his body.

This unusual phenomenon affected the spiritual energy falling from above, causing it to glow with a golden aura.

"Master, what's going on?"

Ying Tianming pointed to the golden halos flowing directly in front of him, and the strangeness emanating from them gave him an indescribable feeling.

It feels like I can reach that point myself.

"Tuo'er's talent and destiny are extraordinary, making him one of the most outstanding people in the world."

"This is the life transformation that occurs when the divine treasure within the body is opened during cultivation. The foundation of a person who can live forever lies here."

"Stepping into a new realm brings about a transformation in one's life."

"The first five times are Qi Refining, Transcending Mortality, Spiritual Silence, Dragon Gate, and Cave Profound. The remaining five times are said to be in the realm of gods and demons."

"This is both an opportunity and a calamity. Such good fortune comes with risks, and a slight misstep could result in a backlash."
