Chapter 80: Zhenling Imprinting
Long Yu heard Elder Yu's words and quickly responded.
Every monster beast would have a neidan, and in its nature, this neidan was somewhat similar to a Dantian of a Wudao master and this Dantian was actually considered as the storage house of the beast's entire energy.
But the cultivation of a beast and a martial artist was quite different.
A Wudao martial artist could store up Ling qi in his Dantian, and by using this Ling qi, he could release Xuan qi and circulate it into his meridians. Thus, by using this Xuan qi he could display different types of martial skills, but in any case, he couldn't be able to absorb and store up his Xuan qi in his Dantian, because whenever he would try to do so, his Dantian would produce a strong rejection.
However, a beast could store its Xuan qi, called "Yao qi" in its neidan!
As a beast could absorb its Ling qi and Yao qi in its neidan and if a martial artist got its neidan, then he would be able to absorb its Yao qi to enhance his martial realm.
{Note: Mystique- "Yao qi" of a beast is same as "Xuan qi" of a Wudao master.}
Of course, with the death of the beast, there would be a gradual erosion of its Yao qi with the passage of time, more time would elapse after its death more would be the loss of its Yao qi.
So, the best time to get its neidan was that while killing the beast, take out its neidan as soon as possible to gain more Yao qi.
As Long Yu listened to Elder Yu's words, he immediately rushed towards the snake, and in no time, he was just three steps away from giant poisonous snake's corpse.
The gigantic body of that poisonous snake was almost cut into two halves, and from this scene, it was really visible that how terrible was the might of the Nine Hidden Qian Dragon Spear when integrated with lamella touch!
"Neidan is in its belly, well, first I need to cut open its body to get its neidan.........."
And soon, Long Yu's heart was rejoiced to see the neidan of that snake.
Soon, the warm neidan of that poisonous snake was taken out by Long Yu. At that time, it was exuding a strange smell. Besides Yao qi, it also contained a non-absorbed Ling qi!
"This huge poisonous snake had been eating a certain type of grass, so it was able to congeal Zhenling."
The sound of Elder Yu's gradual footsteps fell into Long Yu's ear from behind: "The Ling qi of this grass had not been completely absorbed by it, but it is now in your hand boy, you should be able to promote your cultivation successfully with its help!"
"Elder Yu, do you know what type of grass was consumed by this snake?"
Long Yu asked Elder Yu.
"I don't know, have not seen such a strange and rare grass, but don't worry, you can swallow its neidan, it should not cause any harm to you."
Elder Yu said.
"En."
Long Yu nodded his head, but did not say anything to Elder Yu and just holding the neidan of that poisonous snake in his hand, he ran to the side of the woods and found a hidden safe place to sit cross-legged to begin its absorption.
He swallowed the neidan, and then Xuan qi began to circulate in his meridians and he began to absorb the Ling qi and Yao qi from the neidan.
At the same time, he activated Nine Hidden Dragon Mark to store up the snake's Ling qi and Yao qi in it, because he directly could not absorb all at once, plus, long before, he already had stored up the immortality pill that he had received as reward in the Nine Hidden Dragon Mark, and now it was just appropriate time for him to absorb it to step into Wudao ninth layer!
"It's strange, I feel the power of grass Zhenling ............."
Long Yu frowned while absorbing the Yao qi and Ling qi.
He felt that the power of grass Zhenling was passing from the neidan to his body!
The effect of this power was just like moving in the swamp in general, and if released, the opposite party would feel himself entangled in a swamp and would find it very difficult to move.
This was similar to the effect of suppression principle, but actually differed from it because world influence actually suppressed, but this grass Zhenling actually entangled, and if it could be utilized properly it could play a unique role against the enemies.
"Regardless of this, first I must step into Wudao ninth layer, it is most important for me at present!"
Long Yu put aside these thoughts, and began to circulate Xuan qi in his meridians and was now ready to break through the first checkpoint of his heavenly arteries.
Heavenly arteries of a human body were actually linked with the world principles, and one could feel the presence of world principles when all four checkpoints of these arteries were linked with each other.
When broke through to the first checkpoint, a Wudao master could be able to step into Wudao ninth layer and then by releasing his Xuan qi, he should be able to get introduced to the existence of world principles.
With more breakthroughs into the other checkpoints, the induction to the existence of the world principle would be more intense.
At Wudao eighth layer, a Wudao master could maintain a point of contact with the world principles, while at Wudao ninth layer, he could finally associate with the world principles.
If a Wudao master broke through to the third checkpoint then he would step into Wudao ninth layer and then the heavenly arteries could make contact with the surface of the world principles and it would be at the peak level of Wudao ninth layer!
And after breaking through to the last checkpoint, one could be able to establish complete connectivity with the principles of the world, and could be able to congeal Zhenling empowering him to borrow more powers from the heaven and the earth!
Long Yu began to absorb the neidan, while to the side, Elder Yu was sitting to protect him while also conveniently taking rest.
Elder Yu was injured due to poisoning. Although, he had just regained consciousness and when he saw that Long Yu was in danger while facing that giant poisonous snake, then he fought with all his might using his rich experience and information!
At this time, he was clad in a black robe and was sitting in repose with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he felt a slight movement that came not far away from him, making him open his eyes suddenly.
"So it is those two old acquaintances!"
Elder Yu's eyes twinkled, but he didn't act rashly.
Although, he didn't know the reason, but the neidan in Long Yu's hand didn't exude even the slightest hint of Yao qi and Ling qi.
At this time, Long Yu was hiding in the bushes and it was almost impossible to attract the attention of others!
Since meridians and Dantian of Elder Yu were damaged, so he was less likely to be noticed by anyone!
At this moment, these two persons were slowly moving towards the edge of the river, where the corpse of that giant poisonous snake was lying down in the water.
Soon, these two powerful figures almost simultaneously arrived near the corpse of that giant poisonous snake!
One of them, a black-faced guy with a stout but short figure as a whole similar to coal briquette, was Elder Wu Jianxin of Zhentian Sect!
Another man was dressed in black robe and wearing a hat, and from his appearance, Elder Yu could only see that he was very tall, but he couldn't see who this person was.
But, from his breath, Elder Yu clearly knew the identity of that man!
"Wu Jianxin, it's really intriguing that he is with Wu Li!"
Elder Yu felt their breaths, and quietly observed the scene from the side, and secretly began to plan what he must do in case of any confrontation.
"Brother Wu, how are the things, did you find the trace of Elder Yu?"
"I have not yet found him, but he has no place to escape, the entire Zhentian Sect is looking for him."
"That's good, in the depth of this Teng snake abyss, I have been collecting these three medicinal herbs, and I calculate, according to the stipulated time, the other disciples of Knife Cut Sect will collect most of these herbs, and Elder Yu wouldn't be able to see the sun of the seventh day absolutely!"
"But, at present this giant poisonous snake ............."
Wu Jianxin seemed puzzled and looked at the dead body of that giant poisonous snake.
"This giant poisonous snake seemed to be killed by a sudden hit of a powerful battle weapon. One disciple above Zhenling realm from Cut Knife Sect has been sent to this forest to collect blossomless Yu Gan flowers, and after collecting them, he would have returned in time, this giant poisonous snake seems to have been killed by him."
Saying these words, Wu Li became relaxed and again said: "Well, at present I will not leave the forest, I must see that Old Yu dead with my own eyes, ha, ha, ha........."
They actually thought that Elder Yu was injured, and depending on the current strength of Long Yu, it was not possible for any of them to kill that giant poisonous snake!
Therefore, they had not the slightest suspicion regarding this matter.
After having a little exchange for a while, they left the place, and Elder Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, this little guy Long Yu's martial realm is too low, so it will not alert these people. If they had found us, then also, it would have been impossible for them to run away from the place, but now......"
Elder Yu's eyes flickered.
He clenched his right hand which had a Zhenling imprinting, and the scene and the dialogues between Wu Jianxin and Wu Li were recorded on his palm!
When he would return to the Sect, he would expose Wu Jianxin's evil deeds to all!
It was actually Zhenling imprinting, and a Wudao master of above Zhenling mystical realm could use a small part of Zhenling to capture real-life scenes, and it could be imprinted down, including picture, sound, etc, and could also be stored down.
Whenever there would be a need, he could be able to reproduce this scene for everyone to see!
The whole scene had been recorded down by Elder Yu on his palm!
By this time, the absorption of neidan had reached a critical point.
"Heavenly arteries, third checkpoint, open up!"
The Nine Hidden Dragon Mark stored up the excess Yao qi and Ling qi of that snake, and at that time, it seemed that the mighty waves of Yao qi and Ling qi were constantly impacting on the third checkpoint, and finally, it started to vacillate.
One!
Two!
Three!
The Yao qi and Ling qi were continuously causing impact on the Heavenly arteries and third check point and were changing into Xuan qi, thereby becoming Long Yu's own strength.
"Broken!"
Finally, Long Yu shouted loudly and the clogged heavenly arteries in his body finally connected!
With the breakthrough to the third checkpoint, he suddenly felt that now he could establish much more enhanced connection with the principles of the world. Now, only one checkpoint was left.
If he broke to the last checkpoint, then he would be able to congeal Zhenling, but the stored up Ling qi and Yaoqi in Nine Hidden Dragon Mark was not sufficient enough for it.
He wanted to empower himself with the congealment of Zhenling, but the required amount of energy was more than what he had spent hitherto for breaking through to the third checkpoint, and in addition that, talent and perception were also important factors for that.
If there was a lack of talent and understanding, then one wouldn't be able to congeal Zhenling even in one lifetime, for example, the Tan clan's head, who was killed by Long Yu, wasn't able to condense Zhenling and had stayed on Wudao ninth layer all his life.
"I finally reached Wudao ninth layer, the effect of absorption of Ling qi and Yao qi of that giant poisonous snake is really good, it is even equivalent to the effect of ten top grade immortality pills!"
Long Yu opened his eyes, and at that time, his eyes reflected a confident look.
After stepping into Wudao ninth layer, his base power was raised to nearly the strength of 300 fierce horses.
Now, if he displayed heavy spear shadow or lamella touch, then he would be able to release the force of more than the strength of 2000 fierce horses!
With his current strength, it could be said that he could face a first layer powerhouse of Zhenling realm with some confidence.
The disparity of basic force was reduced considerably and now his battle efficiency was stronger than before from several angles!
