Chapter 17: The Secret of the Eighth Path

For Feng Yu, Ah Qing's departure did affect his mood to some extent, but he was not the kind of person who was completely immersed in the past and couldn't extricate himself, not to mention that he also knew that Ah Qing's trip this time was not for fun, but to improve his strength as much as possible. Therefore, in just one day, he completely walked out of Ah Qing's reluctance to leave, and began to carry out the next step of cultivation, he didn't want to be left far behind by Ah Qing in the future.

After this period of hard training, although the jade scale arm still did not cultivate to the most ideal level, the faintly increased cultivation made him feel the wandering trajectory of the eighth Dao Qi in his body, which was also a thing that made him extremely happy these days, and steady cultivation was what he wanted.

"Uncle Niu, now that I can sense the traces of the eighth Dao Qi, this one makes me feel a little different from the previous Seven Dao, and I don't know why."

Feng Yu's whole body was bathed in a wooden barrel that emitted a crimson light, in which the scorching temperature was faintly rising, rendering his body red, and above his body, there seemed to be a snake-like energy constantly swimming. Between the movements of the thin body, there is also an extremely violent force surging.

Uncle Niu, who was sitting on the stone bench on the side, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Feng Yu's appearance, and said, "The eighth Dao Qi is the last level of the Dao Qi realm, and it is an important key point throughout the entire cultivation process. ”

"The reason why you felt that the eighth Dao Qi was different from the first seven Dao Qi was because the Eighth Dao Qi had two forms, that is, Dead Qi and Living Qi."

Feng Yu's pupils shrank, and he also felt a trace of unusual meaning in Uncle Niu's words, he never thought that this eighth Dao Qi would have such a strange distinction, which may be the source of what he felt wrong before.

Uncle Niu glanced at Feng Yu faintly, and then said, "This dead qi and living qi are the key judgment markers to measure whether a person can cultivate to the point of breaking through the Gen Dao realm. The Gen Dao Realm is the fourth cultivation realm after entering the Xuan Second Realm, and this strength, even if you look at the entire Yang Guan Realm, you can rank at the second-rate level. And if you want to break through this realm, you need to extract the residual Dao marks in your body, turn them into Dao Qi, and finally integrate them into the endless Xuan Qi in your body. ”

Feng Yu frowned, and asked a little uncertainly: "Why is it the last trace of the Dao, is it that when you step into the second realm of Xuan, do you want to abandon the Dao and instead cultivate the Xuan?" ”

Uncle Niu's expression was calm, he looked at the sky in the distance, he didn't know what he was thinking, he nodded lightly after a while, and said: "Yes, Dao Qi is the beginning of cultivation, and anyone who starts cultivating must first comprehend the Dao rules of heaven and earth, and only when all the eight Dao Qi are condensed can he have the opportunity to cultivate later." However, do you know that in this world today, the spiritual energy is empty, the Dao Qi is declining, the laws are incomplete, and it is difficult to support the next cultivation with the Dao Qi as the carrier. As another kind of carrying body, Xuan Qi is far more comprehensive than the law of Dao Qi, which is the key factor that attracts many people to specialize in cultivating Xuan Qi, because cultivating Xuan Qi can make their ultimate achievements higher. And this is the reason for the existence of the two realms of the Xuan.

"And the Gen Dao realm, in fact, in a sense, exists as an auxiliary realm, which will completely erase the Dao marks left by a person when he first senses the Dao Qi, and then fully step into the cultivation of Xuan.

"As for the distinction between dead qi and living qi mentioned earlier, it is the key to distinguishing whether a person can accurately perceive the location of the hidden dao marks in his body when he is about to break through the Gen Dao realm."

Feng Yu rubbed his chin, but he didn't expect that this existence, as the last realm in his cognition, would have such a origin and function.

Then he frowned slightly and asked again, "But how can I judge whether the last path I have cultivated is alive or not?" ”

Uncle Niu glanced at him and said, "It's very simple, if it's alive, it will take on a colorless and constantly changing form. ”

"Is it colorless and in different states......"

When Feng Yu heard this, he also muttered thoughtfully.

In the following time, Feng Yu spent most of his time on cultivation except for occasionally going to the back mountain to hunt some fierce beasts, and although the eighth Dao Qi had induction, it was never able to break through the body and could not truly condense. However, Feng Yu was not in the slightest hurry about this, because he knew that the difficulty of condensing the eighth Dao Qi could be called the most difficult step since his cultivation, and the only way to find a chance in countless experiences was to polish it many times.

In Feng Yu's tireless cultivation, a few days have passed in the outside world.

…………

Outside, in a valley.

There is an endless gray-black mist in the air, and the air is full of pungent and unpleasant smells, and as far as the eye can see, there is a miasma of haze that makes it difficult to breathe. Even the aura was shrouded in a dead silence that made people's hearts palpitate.

Occasionally, a few beasts appeared, but after only a few breaths, the desperate steps of running away gradually stopped in the pervasive poisonous gas around them, and then collapsed in a painful hiss, completely losing their breath.

However, in such a terrifying and gloomy place, several figures appeared at this moment. These figures are all masked, but the faintly exposed half of the face reveals a gloomy murderous aura, and the blood-colored pupils seem to make people shudder as long as they look at it, as if they have fallen into the eternal abyss.

The poisonous gas around them continued to erode towards them, but when they were only half a foot away from them, all of them dissipated into white smoke in bursts of snorts, and even the plackets of their clothes were unstained.

"How's the investigation going?"

Among the several people, the figure in the center spoke indifferently, and the unpleasant sound like frosting spread out in this small clearing, and where it passed, even the space was rippled.

"After months of searching, we found a desert area ahead, which has a magical charm that does not belong to this place, presumably related to the place in the mouth of adults."

The figure on the right is also an opening.

"Didn't we go to that area years ago? But I don't think I noticed anything unusual at the time. ”

Similarly, there are voices of doubt one after another.

"Shut up, bunch of trash!"

The figure in the center shouted, his words filled with resentment and annoyance. The scene came to his mind, and his body trembled violently with remorse.

Listening to the roar like thunder, the surroundings were instantly silent.

"I tell you, if it weren't for your self-cleverness that led to a mistake in judgment, why would I have ended up like this, and now I still have the face to mention this matter to me?! The face of the Heavenly Snake Realm has been lost by you! ”

But the man seemed to have been touched by the emotions in his heart, so he roared like a frantic man.

"Let me tell you, the fundraising meeting of the five great families has begun, and it is said that there are many dark horses this year, if we can't find the hidden place before they end, that person will be held accountable, this day Seven Ghosts, everyone should simply stop doing it!"

He took a deep breath and tried to adjust his emotions, but the coldness in his eyes and the "that person" in his mouth were like a sharp sword, and it was slammed into the hearts of the others, making their bodies tremble violently.

"Let's go!"

…………

Thundered!

Suddenly there was a muffled thunder in the distant sky, and a dazzling white light suddenly appeared, shining the whole land as if it were day, but the next moment it disappeared with a deafening explosion. At the same time, a cold breath sprinkled down, and the heat in the air was also consumed at this moment, and it was replaced by bursts of refreshing humidity. The hazy mist quickly condensed in the air, making people feel quite refreshed.

On a circular stone platform, a thin figure sits cross-legged. His eyes were tightly closed, and seven incomparably condensed Dao Qi swirled around his body, and the fluctuations that vaguely emanated were also more and more transcendent and strange.

On its chest, a clear trace appeared, as if it was a surging air current, and the trajectory of the swim appeared obscure and complicated, and there were faintly powerful fluctuations that were different from the previous seven Dao Qi.

"Now the induction of this eighth Dao Qi has become more and more intense, and even its form and wandering trajectory can be easily detected by me, and I think that in five days at most, I can try to condense it directly......"

Feng Yu bathed in the cool raindrops in the sky, felt the heat disappear at this moment, and muttered to himself.

For the cultivation of condensing the eighth Dao Qi, he has been going on for more than ten days, although it is extremely boring day after day, but he does not have the slightest impatience, even if there are some elixirs that are helpful for cultivation in the back mountains, he has never thought of cultivating with the help of those, because he understands how key the Eighth Dao Qi is. As Uncle Niu said that day, there will be more than fifty percent of people condensed dead energy, most of them will choose to use elixir to assist in cultivation, and this is basically equivalent to giving up the cultivation after the Gen Dao realm, although the spiritual root elixir is excellent, but it can't be eaten completely, too much use of elixir, not to mention that they will become resistant to it, over time, it is impossible to say that even their own foundation and feet will be gradually eroded, and finally it will be difficult to move an inch. What he wanted was not the so-called dead qi, but the living qi that could really lead him to break through the realm of the Gen Dao!

Although the Gen Dao Realm was already able to step into the second-rate ranks in this Yang Guan Domain, Feng Yu had a faint feeling that his future achievements might not stop at the Gen Dao Realm, the more powerful ranks and the wider world, he really wanted to see and see.

And what prompted him to have the above goals was also a thought buried deep in his heart, that is, to find his parents who had not met for more than ten years. He asked Uncle Niu more than once about his parents, but the latter was vague every time, never giving him a complete and clear explanation, but vaguely felt that their origins were quite extraordinary. And this also stimulated his desire to find his parents, perhaps only the vast outside world has clues about his parents. He is also willing to cultivate for this until he has the ability to do this.
