Chapter 310: Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints and Dark Jade Frost

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Zhou Bao was greatly relieved when his ninth acupoint was opened.

Feeling the purification of Internal Qi the same as before, he started to establish the circulation between the Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints. Finally, he understood the principle.

When the Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints were refined successfully, the nine acupoints would interact and influence each other, thus, forming a giant circulation. It looked like a huge Dantian, in which Internal Qi circulated smoothly.

What surprised him the most was that he could feel the enlargement of his Dantian clearly every time he opened his acupoints. When the ninth acupoint was opened, his Dantian would be the same as the other eight acupoints. The quantity of Internal Qi that they could store was the same.

What disappointed him was that after he had refined the Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints, he had not refined a real dragon successfully like he had done when he opened his first acupoint.

However, he was very satisfied because he had obtained a lot from these nine acupoints.

“All right. I refined the Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints finally. I can step into the Level Eight Realm without any worry now.” He was greatly relieved. He possessed nine acupoints, so he felt that he was filled with Internal Qi. He could feel the swelling of his body. His tendons and meridians could only withstand the flow of Internal Qi in these nine acupoints. The Internal Qi flowing through his body could break his tendons and meridians at any time and rush out of his body.

“Fu*k. I’d better think about how to infuse this dammed Internal Qi into these acupoints now.”

The pressure created by the immense Internal Qi made his tendons and meridians begin to collapse. But the Internal Qi circulating through his newly formed ninth acupoint had yet to set up. He was worried about whether his tendons and meridians could withstand the pressure until he had finished infusing.

In fact, he was right. When he calmed down, he found that the formation established by his nine acupoints, the giant Dantian-like formation, operated faster than before. Continous vigorous Internal Qi swarmed out from the Dantian and rushed into his tendons and meridians. They were almost filled up with the infinite flame-shaped Internal Qi and were going to explode.

“Hahaha, I succeeded! As I had thought, the Netherworld Evil Qi in the Azure Secret Area can restore my Original Spirit. I don’t need to attach to that damned green lamp anymore!”

Zhou Bao already heard the laughter of Green Spirit. Green Spirit had taken shape completely. He turned into a cyan fox and ran over to Zhou Bao complacently. As he was trying to show his Original Spirit, he found that Zhou Bao’s expression was not normal. His face turned green and his lips became purple. His veins twisted and strands of black flame-shaped Internal Qi were faintly visible. It was as if those veins were going to explode.

“Oh no! His tendons and meridians cannot withstand the pressure now.” Watching this scene, Green Spirit figured out what was happening here. Though he had cultivated his Original Spirit successfully, he had no power. He could merely get rid of the green lamp. Therefore, he was unable to help Zhou Bao.

Thus, he exclaimed, “Little boy, listen to me carefully. Your tendons and meridians can’t bear your Internal Qi now. If you keep going like this, they’ll definitely collapse. But you don’t need to worry about it too much. Your cultivation has already reached the peak of Level Seven. You can step into Level Eight at any time. I’m going to teach you how to condense the Real Essence Source. You must gather and compress your Internal Qi into the Real Essence Source right now and store it in your acupoints. In this way, the Internal Qi in your body will be greatly reduced. It can reduce Internal Qi to a certain degree that your tendons and meridians can bear. But you should prepare mentally. You have nine acupoints. You must condense nine Real Essence Sources. Otherwise, if some of these acupoints have no Real Essence Source while others do have one, your Great Circulation of Acupoints will collapse. Besides, your body will explode. Do you understand?”

His voice went into Zhou Bao’s mind directly. Zhou Bao’s mouth twitched and he nodded his head firmly. He had no strength to utter a word now.

“Ok. Now follow my instructions. First, use your Dantian…”

Green Spirit said slowly. The crucial technique to condense the Real Essence Source appeared in Zhou Bao’s mind. Green Spirit explained it in detail for fear that Zhou Bao could not understand it or hear it clearly. Therefore, Zhou Bao did not need to use his brain. He just needed to follow Green Spirit’s words to condense the Real Essence Source. Because his body possessed profound and dense Internal Qi, the process went smoothly. After two hours, the first Real Essence Source appeared in his Dantian.

The so-called Real Essence Source was a substance that one could get after he had greatly compressed his Internal Qi and the Internal Qi had a qualitative change.

Of course, a qualitative change could not occur just by compressing. In the process of compression, one should follow special steps to condense the Internal Qi into a liquid core step by step and then compress other Internal Qi into filaments. These filaments needed to be connected with the Internal Qi core and, thus, form an exquisite formation. Zhou Bao was stunned by how complicated this process was. As he was absorbed in condensing the Internal Qi, he could not help thinking, “Why should it be so complicated? Do these Level Eight and Level Nine experts all form their Genuine Soul Sources in this way? There’s no way. Because of my Fiery Eyes, I can have such a strong Inner Vision and am able to control my Internal Qi so delicately. If it were other people, they would go crazy when they encountered such a delicate operation, even if they were Level Nine experts.”

However, these ideas occurred to him when he was condensing the Real Essence Source. Though they were right and reasonable, he did not ask Green Spirit about it during this critical moment.

Green Spirit was filled with apprehension and fear. But if he was in the Essential Spirit State now, you would be able to see the cold sweat all over his body.

In fact, the process of condensing the Real Essence Source did not have to be as complicated as Zhou Bao had thought.

When the cultivation of Internal Qi reached Level Eight, the Internal Qi would be extremely dense and as hard as steel.

Once this state formed, as the essence of Internal Qi, the Dantian would produce a marvelous reaction and form the Real Essence Sources automatically.

Nevertheless, this kind of naturally formed Real Essence Source would take a lot of time. The time this process took would vary based on the differences in people’s physical fitness and cultivation methods.

Some unlucky men were unable to condense the Real Essence Source in their acupoints for their entire lifetime. Hence, they stayed in that state forever.

Presently, most of the Level Eight experts were stopped at that point.

Differing from them, Zhou Bao only had a Level Seven cultivation. Although it was at the peak of Level Seven, he had not yet stepped into Level Eight completely. His Internal Qi was not as hard as steel, so it could not condense into the Real Essence Source naturally. He had to condense it voluntarily.

The method of condensing the Real Essence Source that Green Spirit taught him was used by practitioners in antiquity times. It had been extinct for many years.

That was because this method was useless now. A Horrible Inner Vision and the delicate ability to control Internal Qi were needed when it came to condensing the Real Essence Source voluntarily. At present, the essence of the world was scattered. The person who possessed these abilities would not appear over several thousand years. Furthermore, the thick essence of the world was needed in the surroundings in the process of condensing the Real Essence Source in order to spare any future worry. However, this could not be realized now.

Now, Zhou Bao was in the Essential Qi Tide. He could meet these conditions and condense the Real Essence Source voluntarily.

Even so, the action of condensing the Real Essence Source voluntarily was dangerous for Zhou Bao. If something went wrong, he would explode. That was why Green Spirit was so anxious.

Fortunately, Zhou Bao was a lucky guy. 10 hours later, after the formation in his Dantian had completely taken shape, a qualitative change of the Internal Qi in his Dantian finally took place. The Internal Qi that filled up his tendons and meridians began to flow back and refill the Dantian, which looked like a black hole.

Zhou Bao did not need to worry about this process. Once the formation in his Dantian had formed, everything would operate voluntarily.

He started to establish the circulation of his ninth acupoint wholeheartedly after the pressure in his tendons and meridians reduced. Compared to setting up the formation of the Real Essence Source, this circulation was much simpler. Besides, he was very familiar with it. So, he formed this circulation before his Dantian sucked all the Internal Qi from his tendons and meridians.

After that, his ninth acupoint reached the Advanced Level. The formation created by these nine acupoints took shape completely and formed a giant Dharma wheel.

The huge Dantian was finally complete!

He suddenly felt the shock of his body. His tendons and meridians were shocked as well. The Dharma wheel rotated in his body and infinite Internal Qi circulated. He felt the unprecedented power and strength that he possessed now.

“Little boy, it’s too early to be happy. Hurry up. Condense the Real Essence Source in your ninth acupoint now. Otherwise, your acupoint circulation will crumble soon!”

Sensing Zhou Bao’s signs of relaxation, Green Spirit reminded him at once.

It was the most crucial moment and also a time that could easily ruin the efforts he had made earlier.

Zhou Bao was finally relieved as he successfully condensed the Real Essence Source in his last acupoint. He opened his eyes slowly. His consciousness was no longer tense.

Then, the strong sensation of hunger hit him.

He was so hungry!

His dull eyes wandered all over the place. Finally, he turned to Green Spirit, who was absorbing an unknown Evil Qi, and then asked, “How long have I practiced?”

“A month and a half!” Green Spirit wore a smile when he saw that Zhou Bao had awoken.

“Fu*k. I’d better eat something now. Otherwise, I’ll starve to death!” Zhou Bao murmured. Even an expert could not withstand eating nothing in a month and a half.

Fortunately, he possessed the Space of Segmented Realms. It was not big, but it was enough to store some rations and drinking water.

He devoured some cold food ravenously and, finally, felt somewhat satisfied. He burped and let out a sigh. “Huh, I’m feeling well. Green Spirit, you should remind me when you’re going to ask me to do something. It would be so stupid if I starved to death during closed-door training.”

“You won’t. Your cultivation has reached Level Seven. You can go without eating and drinking for three months. Besides, I know your practicing speed very well.” Green Spirit shook his head and continued, “You have practiced the Real Essence Source successfully and can break through to the Level Eight Realm at any time. Do you want to practice here later?”

“Of course! It’s a good opportunity.” Zhou Bao looked up. A bright light appeared in his eyes. “You told me that the Essential Qi Tide will gather all the pneuma around the world, no matter where it hides. This is the Azure Secret Area. Originally, the essence of the world here is several levels higher than it is outside. Now, all the pneuma gathers together. I definitely can find the best Evil Qi to refine my Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. How can I let this opportunity go?”

“Haha. You’re good at seizing opportunites. You’re right. There are various kinds of top-grade Evil Qi, enough for you to practice special techniques. You can feel that the variety of Evil Qi is mingled in the tide. You need to find whatever you want now. But it will be hard to separate these Evil Qi.” He stopped for a while and then continued, “What’s more, your Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword was practiced by the Blood Essence Evil Yuan, the Evil Qi that can go with it is rare. I advocate two types to you. One is the Archaic Yin Evil, and the other is the Dark Jade Frost. The former can be found in the cave, but you need to go out to find the latter.”

“Which one is better?”

“The Dark Jade Frost of course. The Archaic Yin Evil can merely match with the Blood Essence Evil Yuan, but the Dark Jade Frost can blend with it well. You’re so lucky that you can find the Dark Jade Frost in the Essential Qi Tide. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be that easy for you to find it, even in antiquity times.”

“Then I’ll go and find it!”

Zhou Bao shrugged. He was indifferent. He had opened his nine acupoints and condensed nine Real Essence Sources. Therefore, he was pretty confident in his strength. “The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword is extremely powerful. I’ve wanted to practice it successfully since long ago. Now, I finally have the opportunity to realize my dream!”

“It’s the best opportunity to practice special techniques with the Essential Qi Tide. Top-grade Evil Qi can be seen everywhere in the Azure Secret Area. It’s an infinite and inexhaustible treasure-house now!”

Zhou Bao was out of sorts when he looked at the darkness outside the cave.

“It’s too early to laugh. The Evil Qi in the Essential Qi Tide is hard to collect. What’s more, you can’t collect as much as you want.” Having seen through Zhou Bao’s thought, Green Spirit said coldly, “You can give it a try.”

Of course, Zhou Bao would give it a try.

He would not let such a good opportunity go.

He took out the Faux Air-frozen Bead again and walked out of the cave.

This time was different from the last time. When he had walked into the Azure Secret Area, his Air-frozen Bead could only cover an area of 10 feet. But as his strength had risen now, it could cover an area of 50 feet, which was five times larger than before.

Meanwhile, he could feel the pulsing of his nine Real Essence Sources. Every time they pulsed, strands of a barely discernible black fog infused into his Internal Qi. After that, his Internal Qi would be much denser. But like the black fog, this effect was faintly visible. Additionally, the Real Essence Sources moved too slowly, so he did not care about it anymore after he had experienced the excitement at the beginning.

Outside of the cave, the Essential Qi Tide was chaotic and furious as it was before. Soon after, he discovered that it was not good for the coverage of his Air-frozen Bead to enlarge because that gave him the corresponding pressure. After walking 100 feet, he controlled the Air-frozen Bead and shrunk its coverage down to 10 feet. Then his pressure was also greatly relieved.

There was plenty of Evil Qi and Spiritual Qi in the Essential Qi Tide. But if one thought that he could collect them as he wished, he would be wrong. As Zhou Bao found the Dark Jade Frost and was about to collect it, he knew that Green Spirit had already simplified the difficulty of collecting Evil Qi.

Although all kinds of pneuma had mixed together, the case of pure pneuma floating above and an impure one sinking down was rarely seen. These pneuma huddled together like disordered threads.

If these pneumas were taken as cotton threads with different colors, the Essential Qi Tide would consist of over 10,000 cotton threads with different colors, lengths, and sizes. They mixed together and formed several groups. So, it was quite hard to get a certain kind of pneuma from them.

Normally, ordinary cotton threads were harmless. But most of the pneuma in the Essential Qi Tide was lethal.

If Zhou Bao wanted to benefit greatly from the pneuma, he needed to untie these disordered threads. That was nearly impossible. Even if there was someone who could do it, it would not be him.

Thus, he could only get some parts of the Dark Jade Frost from the pneuma.

To take the Dark Jade Frost out from a group of tangled pneuma had its advantages and disadvantages. The good news was that this method was simple and practical. The bad news was that he could get only a little everytime. Furthermore, great effort was needed to prevent the Essential Qi Tide from being disturbed. Most importantly, it would take a lot of time.

He spent six hours and only got a tiny group of the Dark Jade Frost. It was far from meeting his needs to practice the Extreme Yin Heavenly Sword.

But his Air-frozen Bead could not work anymore. He needed to operate the Air-frozen Bead on one hand, and on the other hand, he needed to think about how to get the Evil Qi. Both the physical and brain work were his headaches.

“Jesus. I’m fu*king tired. I’d better not do this kind of thing in the future. Otherwise, my lifespan will be shortened!” He returned to the cave in frustration when he saw the nail-sized Dark Jade Frost in his hand.

“When your cultivation reaches the Mysterious Realm, your lifespan will increase greatly. It’s ok to shorten some of your life.” Green Spirit made a bad joke beside him. “Well, have you ever thought about how long it will take for you to collect enough of the Dark Jade Frost?”

“Half a month, I have to suffer at least half a month!” Zhou Bao thought for a while and smiled bitterly. He could collect the Dark Jade Frost for six hours at a time, but after that, he needed 10 hours to recover back to his perfect condition. Besides, he needed another four hours to rest in order to maintain his energy.

“You’d better be content with this result. You should know that in antiquity times, in order to collect enough Evil Qi, some practitioners would spend decades and even several hundred years to collect the same kind of Evil Qi. But you only need half a month to collect enough Evil Qi that a strong special technique requires. It’s pretty good.”

“I’m just a nobody. How can I be compared with those great practitioners in antiquity times?” Zhou Bao responded and smiled bitterly.

“Great practitioners in antiquity times were nobodies at the beginning. Your practicing speed is superior to most of them. However, compared to that of ordinary practitioners, it’s not slow. What’s more, you have opened nine acupoints. It’s possible to have great achievements like those great practitioners. You can even break through to the Realm of True Immortality and achieve the Human Immortal’s Karmic Rank!”

“Come on. I’d better be an Individual Immortal at present.” Zhou Bao stopped talking with Green Spirit and began to practice wholeheartedly.

For most of the fighters, there was a huge gap between Level Seven and Level Eight, which was just like ascending to Level Seven from Level Six.

After entering the Expert Realm, huge costs and painstaking efforts were needed to enter the next realm. Over the course of about 10,000 years, no one had been able to reach Level Eight from Level Seven as smoothly as Zhou Bao had.

There were two barriers that should be overcome to get from Level Seven to Level Eight:

Your body was the first barrier and the prerequisite as well. If your body, tendons, and meridians could not withstand the fierce Internal Qi of Level Eight, everything would be in vain. The second barrier was Internal Qi. If its quality was not high enough, no matter how many efforts had you made and how had you condensed your Internal Qi, qualitative changes would not take place. Internal Qi could not change into a solid.

But these two barriers were a piece of cake for Zhou Bao.

His body had been forged by the Primordial Loach Monster’s Demonic Fire and nourished day and night by a Pure Yang Celestial Device named the Golden Flame Mirror. Besides, it also had close contact with the Earth Fire Yuan Essence when he was in the geocentric fire vein. Thus, his body was far better than the standard quality of Level Eight, or even Level Nine. It was merely one step to enter the Mysterious Realm. The quality of his Internal Qi was far better than others because it had totally turned into black flame-shaped Internal Qi. Its purity was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It was more powerful than the Demonic Fire of the Primordial Loach Monster. So, it could be called the top-grade Internal Qi in the world. He had already condensed the Real Essence Sources. Hence, it would be a piece of cake for him to compress it into a solid.

In fact, he had reversed the sequence when he was practicing both his body and Internal Qi. Ordinary practitioners would reach Level Eight first and then condense their Real Essence Sources. However, he did the very opposite. He had condensed the Real Essence Source first and had then entered Level Eight.

Therefore, the fierce Internal Qi of Level Eight could not hinder him.

Nevertheless, it still took time.

He passed the next month doing this boring practice. In the first half of the month, he spent six hours to collect Evil Qi, 10 hours to recover his energy, four hours to take a rest, and four hours to practice. He really had a tight schedule.

After the first half of this month, he had collected enough Dark Jade Frost. 16 hours were available because he did not need to collect Evil Qi and recover his energy anymore. However, he still needed to spend 12 hours to evolve the Dark Jade Frost into the Sword Qi of Extreme Yin Heavenly Sword. Luckily, he had another fours hours to practice.

After a month, he had lost a lot of weight but had grown taller. The bright light in his eyes disappeared. His eyes became glittering and translucent, looking like newly created black-jade jewels.

“Is this the power of a Level Eight practitioner?” His hands were half-closed. He gently waved one of his hands, and instantly, a clear fist appeared on the cave wall. The lines of veins in his hand could be seen clearly.

“This isn’t the power of ordinary Level Eight practitioners. You’ve already opened nine acupoints of your Real Essence. Thus, the Real Essence Energy that these eight Real Essence Sources have stimulated can contend with that of ordinary Individual Immortals in the Mysterious Realm!”

“Really?” Zhou Bao was overjoyed when he heard that he could contend with Individual Immortals in the Mysterious Realm. But suddenly, he felt that something had gone wrong. “Oh, no. The Internal Qi of Level Eight practitioners should be as hard as steel. But no change has occurred to my Internal Qi now. Why?”

“Originally, the quality of your Internal Qi was higher than ordinary Internal Qi. After it turned into Demonic Fire, its power could match that of Real Essence Energy. The state of Internal Qi that is as hard as steel is only a transitive step in which ordinary Internal Qi turns into the Real Essence. The quality of your Internal Qi is too high to go through this step. But the power of it is stronger than the Internal Qi that needs to undergo that step. Its power can reach the standard strength of ordinary Real Essence Energy.”

“So, why should I need the Real Essence Sources?”

“Your Internal Qi is equal to ordinary Real Essence Energy. But before the Real Essence Source is condensed, the transformation that the Real Essence Source has on Internal Qi is a qualitative change. Your Internal Qi is equal to an ordinary Real Essence in quality and can match that of ordinary Level Nine experts. But after all, it isn’t the Real Essence and it’s defective. After it totally turns into a Real Essence, both its quality and power will increase by leaps and bounds. Then, you can fight against Individual Immortals.” Green Spirit slightly sighed as though he had thought of something in ancient times. “Your case can only appear in the individual disciples of big sects in antiquity times. Your starting point was higher than others. Therefore, your achievement will be much greater than ordinary practitioners. You do possess great luck, but don’t squander it recklessly. There are many practitioners who possess great luck, but they can’t reach the real peak because of profligacy!”

“The real peak?” Zhou Bao’s eyes shined. “What do you mean?”

“You’ve just entered Level Eight, so it’s too early to talk about that!” Looking at Zhou Bao, whose eyes were shining, Green Spirit smiled faintly and said, “You seem to have already practiced the Extreme Yin Heavenly Sword successfully. The combination of Yin and Yang is troublesome. Be careful!”

“I’ve had some insight. I may be successful in a month.”

“A month! Haha… Little boy, the power of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword is infinite. The mysteries of it weren’t that easy to figure out.” After that, Green Spirit did not talk anymore.

Zhou Bao sat cross-legged and his upper body was naked. Strong muscles could be seen on the exposed parts. Nine Fire Dragons were rotating around him. They went into his midbrows one after another just like nine tiny wandering snakes.

At the same time, two real dragons of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon appeared around him as well. They did not show their entities. Instead, they turned into two flame tattoos and coiled around his upper body.

During his breathing, two real dragons undulated with him. They followed Zhou Bao’s breath to inhale and exhale, as if they had life.

“Huh, huh, huh…!” When he was breathing, two black flame-like airflows went out from and into his nostrils. The process was repeated until he had refined them to the extreme.

A strong Pure Yang power was shed from the Golden Flame Mirror behind his head. It looked like rolling waves surging ahead ceaselessly.

The Demonic Fire of the Primordial Loach Monster had become quite strong. It blazed fiercely in his Dantian.

What flowed in his body was the Demonic Fire-like Internal Qi of the Dragon Chimera. It could completely match the Real Essence.

That was to say, he could contend with Level Nine experts given his Internal Qi, which contained the power of a Real Essence. Adding on to the Real Essence Energy that transformed from the Real Essence Sources in his nine acupoints, he could fight against ordinary experts in the Mysterious Realm.

He had no reason to be frightened.

He had a Pure Yang Celestial Device, the Three Realms Division, the Space Division Skill, the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, the Great Fusion Technic, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Kylin Gang, the Infinite Trembling Contemplation, and horrible fist intent. Every one of them could make him invincible in the world. Let alone that he had all of them.

After practicing the Extreme Yin Heavenly Sword successfully, he spent another whole month to appreciate the way of the Yin and Yang Integration. Finally, he successfully practiced the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi.

The unification of the Extreme Yin Heavenly Sword practiced by the Dark Jade Frost and the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword refined by the Blood Essence Evil Yuan was a weird, black-and-red Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi was aggressive and the sword technique was imposing!

No matter if it was a Level Eight expert or a Level Nine expert, if he was attacked heavily, he would defeat him within one movement.

His Poisonous Hitching Post could pierce through any Gang Qi. That was the property of it. In fact, it did not have much lethality. Its only function was to generate immense agony. No matter if it was an immortal or a monster, if he was attacked by it, he would not be able to withstand the agony. So, he would reveal his flaws. But the bottom line was that the Poisonous Hitching Post could only injure people but not kill them. Besides, it would merely give people overwhelming pain, but it could not injure them fundamentally. However, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was different. It was extremely sharp and could kill anything. After the Yin and Yang Integration, the congenital killing intent that was condensed in the process could eliminate everything. If he had reached a certain phase, he would have killed everything by using the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.

Even experts in the Mysterious Realm would die when they were swept over by his Sword Qi. This was the power of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.

“Why does the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword have such a strong murderous intent?”

He felt the marvelous killing intent contained in the Sword Qi when the Sword Qi had come into being.

“Hehe. The Yin and Yang Integration can transform into chaos and control life. Your Sword Qi possesses a congenital killing intent that can eliminate everything! Of course it’s invincible.” Green Spirit grinned and then continued talking, “But you’d better know that it’s too early to laugh. The power of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword is determined by your own strength. The stronger you are, the more powerful it will be. Besides that, the killing intent will be stronger. But if you’re weak, your body cannot bear this fierce killing intent, let alone bear killing others.”

“I can feel it too!” Zhou Bao nodded and said, “This strand of killing intent is weak, it put a lot of pressure on me. I’m going to put the Sword Qi into the External Elixir of the Fiery Eyes and nourish it with the Real Essence.” A determined look showed on his face. “I have nine acupoints now and can store countless Real Essences of Internal Qi. The External Elixir of the Fiery Eyes is less useful. What do you think if I use the Fiery Eyes to practice the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword only?”

“If you’re willing to use it in that way, it’s a good choice. However, if you did so, you would own a trump card that can overawe the Individual Immortals in the Mysterious Realm. It’s a good idea!” Green Spirit stopped for a while as if he was thinking about something. Then he continued, “It’s marvelous. Your External Elixir is peculiar. It seems that you’ve integrated with it now. It can be taken as an acupoint. If you put one divine thought in it to nourish your Sword Qi, you may practice the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword into your Natal Sword when you become an Individual Immortal. At that time, it will be the Supreme Swordplay. Yeah, you must use your divine thoughts to nourish Sword Qi and practice the Natal Sword. I haven’t seen an extraordinary talent like you for years!”

“All right, it’s a deal!” Green Spirit’s words made him excited. Zhou Bao was a resolute man. He would do what he had said. He infused all the Internal Qi that was stored in his Fiery Eyes originally into his body at once.Though there was infinite Internal Qi in the Inner Elixir of his Fiery Eyes, once it was attributed to the Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints, it would be nothing. Furthermore, there was a Real Essence Source in every acupoint, therefore, no matter how much Internal Qi he had, it could easily be stored in these acupoints.

After that, he broke the Internal Qi circulation that had formed when he successfully refined the External Elixir of the Fiery Eyes. Then he shot one divine thought directly in it.

He never tried to shoot his divine thoughts into the External Elixir of his Fiery Eyes before. This was his first time. “Boom!” After the divine thought went into the External Elixir, he heard a loud sound in his head. A wonderful world appeared before him.

This was the inner world of his Fiery Eyes.

A fiery red world!

It was empty and broad like a hollow boundless universe. His divine thought floated around inside it alone.

“Huh? Where is the Sword Qi?” When he was about to find it, a black and red cyclone appeared in front of him suddenly.

“It’s the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!”

He was delighted when he saw it. It was the Sword Qi of his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. His heart moved and then the Sword Qi showed up around his divine thought.

The divine thought emitted a faint light. It immediately jumped into the core of this cyclone under his control.

“Boom!”

His divine thought was shocked fiercely. Later on, he could feel that, refined by Evil Qi, the dead Sword Qi was alive and had become part of his body.

“It’s really fantastic!”

He looked up slowly. A ball of a black and red cyclone appeared in his palm instantly and rotating continuously. Suddenly, it rotated slower than it had before. His divine thought was inside it, so he could feel every one of its tiny changes clearly. His expression turned strange.

Soon after, the cyclone solidified. It was glittering like crystal.

However, in this beautiful crystal there existed a cold killing intent.

“Good. The Sword Qi has already infused with your sword. Other things should depend on your luck.” Green Spirit laughed loud.

“Then I have to depend on my luck.” Zhou Bao nodded. A light passed through his palm and then the black and red crystal disappeared.

“Ah, it’s time to go back!”

He withdrew the Sword Qi and looked up. In front of him was the vast Azure Secret Area. “I’ve stayed in this damned place for several months without seeing the sun. I really miss the sunshine!”

“Well, why don’t you stay longer? There are treasures everywhere, especially now. Various kinds of rarely seen pneuma and Evil Qi can swarm into the Essential Qi Tide. You can use them to practice other special techniques.”

“Damn! I feel extremely tired already as I was collecting the Evil Qi needed for just one kind of special technique.” Thinking back to when he was busy collecting the Dark Jade Frost a month ago, Zhou Bao looked ill. He said, “Anyway, I have the entrance to the Azure Secret Area and the Faux Air-frozen Bead. I can come here at any time!”

“Haha. That depends.” Just then, Green Spirit seemed to think of something. He laughed out and said, “Haven’t you found that there’s something wrong with your Faux Air-frozen Bead? It’s just a Mysterious Level celestial device and cannot bear so much pressure. It cannot operate after you’ve left the Azure Secret Area. If you want to enter here again, next time you’ll have to refine another one.”

“What?” Zhou Bao screamed. He took out the Faux Air-frozen Bead and observed it carefully. Though the Spiritual Qi on it was thick and it was powerful, numerous fine lines had appeared on its surface. But if his eyesight was good, he could not find these lines. He again used his spiritual mind to observe it. But his countenance completely changed this time!
