I tamed beasts and achieved immortality in the world of cultivation.

Chapter 144 The Long-Armed Spirit Ape's Law of Heaven and Earth [Please Subscribe!]

Qinghe Lake, a two-story bamboo building.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged, his divine sense spreading out, revealing every detail within a three-mile radius.

Sanli.

He was quite satisfied with this distance.

An ordinary cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining perfection has a spiritual sense range of only about seventy feet.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, spiritual consciousness transforms into divine consciousness, which can usually extend to about two miles in range.

However, with the reverse enhancement from Qingtian, Danyu, Yinyue, and Jinyan, he managed to push his divine sense to three miles, nearly half more than an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Don't underestimate this seemingly small difference.

During a battle, it means he can detect the enemy's presence earlier than others and react sooner.

This place holds the key to victory, and it's a matter of life and death!

Chen Qing withdrew his divine sense, and with a thought, the light screen before him slowly unfolded: [Beast Taming Longevity System].

[Host: Chen Qing]

[Realm: Early Foundation Establishment Stage]

[Contracted Spirit Beasts: Qingtian, Danyu, Yinyue, Jinyan]

[Cultivation Techniques: Canglan Technique, Yunhun Technique, Cangling Technique, Ranxue Escape Technique, Ningyuan Technique, Xuanyuan Body Refining Technique]

[Highlights: 55081]

Chen Qing stared at the string of numbers, slightly stunned.

When I came out of the Abyss Secret Realm, I had a little over 30,000 left.

Over the past four years, the blue carp and spirit sheep chicken have produced a fixed amount of about 7,000 points each year. After deducting the more than 4,000 points of essence that helped Qingtian and Danyu break through to the second tier not long ago, the total amount has accumulated to this level over time.

And among these, there's a rather subtle origin to the essence of his work. After activating the Legion System, the cultivators he killed were also counted as "living beings" by the system. After all, strictly speaking, humans, like demonic beasts, are made of flesh and blood, and thus can be harvested.

Chen Qing remained silent for a moment, not dwelling on the matter further.

The path to immortality is fraught with danger, fraught with peril at every turn.

He wasn't bloodthirsty, but he wouldn't hesitate to kill those who wanted him dead. It was good that he could "give back" to Chen Moumou after he died.

Chen Qing pulled himself out of his thoughts and scanned the four individuals—Qingtian, Danyu, Yinyue, and Jinyan—before finally fixing his gaze on Qingtian's furry monkey face.

"There's no time like the present."

Chen Qing smiled and said, "Qingtian, how about activating the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape bloodline within you today?"

Upon hearing this, Qingtian's monkey eyes widened suddenly, then he grinned and squeaked excitedly, "Really?! Chen Qing, you finally remembered me!"

As it called out, it glanced at Jin Yan.

Jin Yan's Golden Sacred Tiger bloodline was activated at 20%, making him quite strong even on ordinary days. In particular, his two skills, "Ten Thousand Beasts' Might" and "Royal Power and Hegemony," made Qingtian extremely envious.

Even if it doesn't say it, how could it not be envious?

It was about to squeak a couple of times, but it held back, first turning its head to look at Dan Yu, then at Yin Yue.

The crane with its long, slender neck turned slightly and let out a soft cry: "You go first."

Silver Moon also raised her head, her eerie green eyes blinking, conveying a cool yet gentle thought: "Sky-Supporting..."

"Brother, you go first. Mine costs 120,000, and Sister Danyu's costs 100,000. There's no rush."

Qingtian nodded vigorously, pounded his chest twice with his monkey paw, and squeaked, "Then I won't be polite!"

Chen Qing smiled, and without further ado, communicated with the system through his thoughts.

"System, activate the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape bloodline within Qingtian's body."

[Would you like to consume 50000 essences to activate the ancient true spirit—the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape bloodline—within the Spirit Monkey·Qingtian?]

【whether】

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the number of essence points displayed on the screen jumped up: [Remaining essence points: 5081]

The next instant, an indescribable, immense power surged from between Chen Qing's eyebrows, transforming into a golden torrent that crashed into Qingtian's body.

Qingtian trembled violently, his monkey mouth gaped open, and he let out a low roar.

The sound was no longer the usual squeaking and groaning, but carried a desolate and domineering ancient wilderness, as if something that had been dormant for ten thousand years was awakening within it.

Immediately afterwards, the gray fur that Qingtian had originally covered began to change from the roots at a speed visible to the naked eye, faintly revealing a metallic texture, as if it were the primordial energy that had been settled for millions of years.

The three golden hairs on his head now shone even brighter, like three golden needles stuck upside down on his head, their light flickering uncertainly.

At the same time, its body was also growing wildly.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Qingtian had already grown to six feet tall. At this moment, his bones were crackling and popping, his muscles were bulging and bulging, and his entire body seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, growing taller and taller.

Six feet.

Seven feet.

Eight feet tall.

It only stopped after going from nine feet to ten feet, or ten feet.

The ceiling of the bamboo house creaked loudly, standing like a small mountain inside the bamboo house.

A fierce aura, carrying a sense of oppressive power, surged forth from Qingtian's body.

Jin Yan sensed something and abruptly stood up, its four-foot-long golden body tensing, its tiger eyes fixed on Qingtian, its throat...

It let out a low roar, as if it had encountered the alertness and fighting spirit of its own kind.

Qingtian turned his head, his monkey eyes now a deep, dark gold, and met Jin Yan's gaze.

The two streams of true spiritual blood collided silently in the bamboo building, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

A moment later, Qingtian was the first to withdraw his gaze, a smug smile appearing on his monkey face. He squeaked, "Little Golden Flame, how about it? Not worse than you this time, right?"

Jin Yan snorted, flicked its tail, and lay down again, letting out a muffled thought: "Not bad."

Chen Qing ignored their little squabble; his gaze was already drawn to the updated information on the screen in front of him: [Long-Armed Spirit Ape - Sky-Supporting]

[Realm Level: Second Tier, Lower Grade]

[Potential: Tier 3, Low Grade]

[Bloodline: Xuanhuang Ancient Ape (Continuously undergoing constitution transformation)]

[Skills: Ancient Ape True Form, Spiritual Battle Intent, Law of Heaven and Earth]

[Status: Excited, Highly Motivated]

Long-armed Ape.

Now that Qingtian has activated the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape bloodline, his race has also transformed, leaping directly from a Lingming Monkey to a Tongbi Ling Ape. Judging from the description of "continuously transforming his physique," it is clear that as Qingtian gradually grows, this race will continue to change, eventually becoming a Xuanhuang Ancient Ape.

And its potential has also been upgraded from the original second-tier upper grade to the third-tier lower grade.

Don't underestimate this difference in rank—a second-rank high-grade product means its upper limit is the late Foundation Establishment stage, while a third-rank low-grade product means that Core Formation is possible.

Those 50,000 essence points were well spent.

Chen Qing's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the two newly added skills.

[Spiritual Battle Intent: An innate talent of the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape clan. Once activated, it grows stronger with each battle, its battle intent and power undiminished. The longer the battle lasts, the more its blood and battle intent surge, its strength, speed, and defense all increase, making it stronger and more courageous with each fight. This talent becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents, with the amplification being even greater when facing powerful enemies.]

[Law of Heaven and Earth: A divine power of the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape bloodline. It allows the user to freely change their size, from massive enough to shake the heavens and earth to shrink to the size of a mustard seed. The extent of this change is influenced by both the purity of the bloodline and the user's cultivation level. The purer the bloodline, the greater the change; the higher the cultivation level, the longer the duration.]

Chen Qing nodded slightly after reading it.

The "Spiritual Battle Will" grows stronger with each battle, perfectly complementing Qingtian's inherently brave and fearless nature; it's practically tailor-made for it.

"The Law of Heaven and Earth" is both offensive and defensive, and can be made large or small, making it flexible and versatile, far superior to simple techniques of changing size.

These two skills, in addition to the existing "Ancient Ape True Form"...

Once all three skills are activated, Qingtian becomes the most terrifying front-line fighter and the most violent warrior on the battlefield.

"As expected of the Xuanhuang Ancient Ape bloodline forged from 50,000 essences, this deal was worthwhile."

Chen Qing nodded to himself.

Just then, Qingtian suddenly moved.

Its enormous body, which was over ten feet tall, rapidly shrank in a hazy yellow light, from ten feet to eight feet, from eight feet to five feet, from five feet to three feet, and finally became a small monkey about three feet tall. With a light and nimble leap, it landed steadily on Chen Qing's shoulder.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" Qingtian perched on Chen Qing's shoulder, its monkey paws gripping his collar. A wide grin spread across its monkey face, its dark golden eyes blinking, its transmitted thoughts filled with smugness. "Chen Qing! I can perch on your shoulder again!"

Chen Qing was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.

When they first formed the contract, Qingtian was only about three feet tall and loved to perch on his shoulder and look around.

Later, as his cultivation improved and his body grew, he could no longer perch on his shoulder. Today, with the "Law of Heaven and Earth," the first thing this monkey did was shrink down and jump onto his shoulder.

"You little monkey." Chen Qing raised his hand and flicked Qingtian's forehead, unable to bear shooing it down.

Qingtian chuckled, and the monkey paw pulled out the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from its pocket, then squatted on Chen Qing's shoulder and began to flip through it in a very professional manner.

Chen Qing shook his head and turned his gaze to Dan Yu, Yin Yue, and Jin Yan.

Dan Yu stood by the window, his aura still somewhat weak.

Like Chen Qing, it had only recently broken through and needed to consolidate its gains for a period of time.

After four years of cultivation, with Chen Qing contributing a little essence every now and then, Yin Yue has now reached the peak of the first rank.

Over the past four years, Jin Yan has grown from a thin, weak cub to the peak of the mid-grade first rank. In his pale golden tiger eyes, there is now a hint of a kingly, domineering aura.

Chen Qing's gaze swept back and forth between it and Silver Moon. He made a plan in his mind: once his cultivation was stable, he would add points to both of them at the same time to break through to the next level. At that time, he could take advantage of the wave of cultivation feedback from them to further solidify his foundation in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

After making these plans, Chen Qing looked up at the window.

Xu Xian sat cross-legged on the bluestone, his body radiating spiritual light, and he meticulously circulated the Canglan Technique.

"The Canglan Technique is only enough to cultivate to the Qi Refining Perfection stage. Now that I have established my foundation, I can no longer delay the matter of the cultivation method." Chen Qing leaned against the window frame, his gaze slightly narrowed.

He needs to return to Lingyun Sect to obtain a Foundation Establishment stage cultivation technique, preferably one that can lead to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul stage, to avoid having to change techniques repeatedly in the future.

Moreover, Xu Xian and Han Wenshan's youngest son, Han Lu, is already fourteen years old.

The upper age limit for Lingyun Sect to recruit disciples is six to ten years old, and the two of them have long exceeded that age.

He had promised Xu Yueniang and Han Wenshan that he would find them the status of disciples of a sect after they reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now that he has laid the foundation, it is time to fulfill his promise.

"Once their cultivation is stable, I'll take them back to the Lingyun Sect," Chen Qing muttered to himself, his gaze lingering on Xu Xian for a moment. "First, I'll settle their disciple status, and while I'm at it—I'll go see Shen Tu Yu and see if I can get them a superior cultivation technique."
