Chapter 718 - 365: Seventh Realm Divinity Opening (3)

The pure Primordial Qi generated in the Sea of Consciousness flows downward, entering the abdominal Primordial Qi Mansion.

Within the Primordial Qi Mansion.

The branches and leaves of the Primordial Qi Seed tree spread out like a towering tree.

Below is a vast Primordial Qi Lake, or more accurately, a Sea of Qi.

Above is the Nascent Primordial Qi like a red sun, radiating a scorching light.

When he first broke through the Sixth Realm, the Primordial Qi Mansion underwent a mutation, causing the co-existence of the Primordial Qi Lake, Primordial Qi Seed tree, and Nascent Primordial Qi. Now, all three are showing anomalies simultaneously.

One can see countless pure Primordial Qi flowing into the Primordial Qi Mansion, transforming into three bridges connecting the three entities.

There seems to be some connection between the three, with a slight tremor occurring every three breaths, and it’s a synchronized tremor.

"Nascent Primordial Qi... Divinity Opening..."

The Sixth Realm for a Primordial Qi Warrior is the Nascent Qi Realm, and the Seventh Realm is Divinity Opening. What is Divinity Opening? It is when one’s Primordial Consciousness penetrates the Nascent Primordial Qi, which is Divinity Opening.

From then on, Primordial Consciousness becomes Divine Sense, and if the fleshly body is destroyed, the Nascent Primordial Qi remains, providing a possibility of survival, equivalent to a second life for a Seventh Realm Primordial Qi Warrior.

However, penetrating the Nascent Primordial Qi with Primordial Consciousness is not just a simple insertion. The Nascent Primordial Qi itself requires enough endurance and must have extremely subtle control over Primordial Consciousness.

With both conditions met, there’s a possibility for the Nascent Primordial Qi to transform into a second life for the Primordial Qi Warrior.

Chu Ming has long cultivated to the Perfection of the Sixth Realm Nascent Qi Realm, but due to the mutation of the Primordial Qi Mansion, ordinary breakthrough methods are not applicable to him.

The Red Sun Nascent Primordial Qi, Primordial Qi Seed tree, and Silver Primordial Qi Lake, though three entities, are closely connected. For the Nascent Primordial Qi to achieve Divinity Opening, the Primordial Qi Seed tree and Silver Lake cannot be left behind to maintain balance within the Primordial Qi Mansion.

However, whether the latter two can achieve Divinity Opening or how to do it, there is no reference, and thus he has been stuck at the Perfection of the Sixth Realm.

However, this predicament is about to end.

The expansion of the Book collection Lake provided him with a glimpse of direction.

"I originally thought the Nascent Primordial Qi was something akin to the soul, and achieving Divinity Opening was fusing oneself deeply into the soul..."

"Since the Nascent Primordial Qi can be considered the soul, why can’t the Primordial Qi Seed tree and Silver Primordial Qi Lake be the same?"

"Is it because the former is more like a fetal body, while the latter two do not match with life?"

"If a fetal body can bear Divine Sense, why can’t a plant? Why can’t a lake?"

"..."

Pure Primordial Qi enveloped the Primordial Consciousness as it entered the Primordial Qi Mansion, splitting into three and merging with the three entities.

The frequency of the simultaneous tremors of the three increased, from initially every three breaths to two. As the Primordial Consciousness attempted to integrate, it trembled noticeably every breath with even more intensity.

Or perhaps describing it as resistance and struggle would be more accurate.

Whether it was the Red Sun Nascent Primordial Qi, the Primordial Qi Seed tree, or the Silver Primordial Qi Lake, at this moment, they seemed to have their own consciousness, simultaneously resisting the invasion of the Primordial Consciousness.

The resonance in frequency among the three intensified the resistance. The Primordial Consciousness that had just sunk in felt as though it was being forcibly expelled.

Chu Ming’s expression slightly changed as he opened his mouth, swallowing several more elixirs. Simultaneously, the four great lakes in the Sea of Consciousness exerted themselves, injecting more pure Primordial Qi wrapped in Primordial Consciousness.

The normal way to break through from the Sixth Realm to the Seventh Realm is through the delicate control of Primordial Consciousness, gradually fusing it into the Nascent Primordial Qi over ten or even decades.

This is a gradual process, also a process of building mutual understanding with the Nascent Primordial Qi.

However, Chu Ming’s breakthrough was different. He didn’t have the time to build rapport with the Nascent Primordial Qi, nor could he achieve this step; the mutated Primordial Qi Mansion wouldn’t open this path for him.

Thus, after thoroughly reading thousands of books and countless simulations, he finally found a more effective method.

That is to use pure Primordial Qi to envelop the Primordial Consciousness, infiltrating the Red Sun Nascent Primordial Qi, Primordial Qi Seed tree, and Silver Lake in a way akin to smuggling in goods.

Although the three resist, because the Primordial Qi he inputs is pure enough, they resemble greedy gamblers, who absorb it again each time, with portions of Primordial Consciousness successfully remaining each time.

Through repeated cycles, when the accumulated Primordial Consciousness reaches a certain level, it can then gather together, beginning the true transformation into Divine Sense!

Though this method appears to be nothing special, it is indeed extremely particular.

Firstly, it requires an endless supply of pure Primordial Qi, something Chu Ming can achieve because of the support from the Book collection Lake in the Sea of Consciousness. Ordinary Primordial Qi Warriors can only accumulate it over decades.

Secondly, it involves the degree of control over Primordial Consciousness. Chu Ming specifically developed a secret technique to control Primordial Consciousness, dividing the Primordial Consciousness into hair-like sizes and then cutting them into thousands more.

The most complex step is to hide these hair-sized fragments of Primordial Consciousness within the Primordial Qi, before guiding them into the Primordial Qi Mansion with the flow of Primordial Qi.

Each flow allows about a hundred hair fragments to remain, which is roughly ten percent of hair size remaining.

To form Divine Sense from ten thousand hair-thin fragments requires approximately ten thousand times of Primordial Qi input to succeed.

How much pure Primordial Qi is needed for ten thousand times?

Measured by the typical Nascent Qi Realm Sixth Realm Primordial Qi Mansion’s total volume, it would require nearly ten thousand Primordial Qi Mansions.

Therefore, besides having the support of the Book collection Lake, no one else can break through in this way like him.

"Ten thousand times... At my current speed, it should take about two to three days... I should inform Shizhu in advance..."

Although Chu Ming’s breakthrough wasn’t afraid of interruptions, it was better to notify first to prevent accidents.

After briefly explaining the situation and sending a message to Ji Wujiang, he once again immersed himself in the breakthrough.

...

In the mansion’s main hall, Ji Wujiang and three others were enjoying wine and conversation when a cool figure appeared outside the door.

"Oh? Fang’Er, how come you returned so quickly?" Baihong Nanyou looked towards the door.

Yin Fang bowed, "Reporting to Master, this disciple has delivered the Nourishing Spirit Elixir."
