The Battle Through Heaven
Developing the Qi Method
Inside the mountain cave, Yao Lao smiled faintly as he looked at Xiao Yan who was so excited that he forgot himself. He did not open his mouth to stop her. After searching painstakingly for several years, Xiao Yan finally got what he wanted today. It would be better to let him express his feelings.
The high-pitched uncontrollable laughter continued for a long time in the mountain cave before slowly subsiding.
With the corner of his mouth still carrying a smile, Xiao Yan lowered his head to watch the green-colored flame slowly wriggling on his palm that repeatedly opened and closed. Since he had fully refined the ‘Fire Green’ Lotus Core, the current flame did not cause Xiao Yan to feel unwell or extremely hot. Moreover, as long as he underwent a long training with a flame, Xiao Yan believed that sooner or later he would be able to reach Yao Lao's perfect level of control over ‘Cold Fire Bone’.
‘The Green Lotus Core Fire’ was like a mischievous spirit dancing on Xiao Yan's fingertips. Every now and then, the fire seedlings that managed to escape into the air would immediately display the terrifying power they possessed. The air half a foot away from his palm was actually instantly burnt by the hot temperature until it distorted. Waves of hot air rose in the air, causing Xiao Yan's vision to gradually become blurry.
Xiao Yan tightly held his fist which was covered by the green-colored flame and softly sighed. His body was silent for a moment before his feet suddenly stepped on the green lotus. Like an arrow released from a bow, his body swiftly shot towards the mountain wall. Accompanied by the hot wind, his fist violently smashed against the wall.
"Bang!"
When his fist barely touched the hard mountain rock, the high temperature of the green-colored flame immediately melted the mountain rock until a hole appeared. His fists moved along the hole and violently struck the inside of the mountain rock. Instantly, a muffled sound rang out from within and pieces of the crack line quickly spread out from the hole. In an instant, it had spread throughout the entire mountain wall.
"Hu ..." Xiao Yan slowly inhaled some air. He looked at the mountain wall that was about to be smashed into pieces. Surprise appeared on his face as he opened his mouth to laugh, pulled his fist and stepped back.
The moment Xiao Yan stepped back, the mountain wall that had been completely covered by the crack line immediately collapsed with the sound of impact and pieces of stone strewn everywhere.
Waving his hands carelessly to release a light breeze, Xiao Yan blew the dust that was heading towards him. He then looked at the mountain wall that was already a pile of broken stones, bent his neck and laughed in surprise, "Lumayan. The strength and speed of my body is much better than before. If it was before, the attack I just unleashed was comparable to the use of ‘Octane Blast’ I used before. "
"The ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ is indeed amazing ..." Xiao Yan let out some praise as he randomly waved his hand. The green-colored flame that covered him slowly began to disappear. After he stored the green-colored flame in his hand, Xiao Yan briefly inspected the inside of his body. He immediately frowned slightly and said in a soft and helpless voice, "As expected. ‘This Heavenly Flame also consumes a lot of Dou Qi quickly. After only using it for this short period of time, I have spent about ten percent of my Dou Qi. Had I not increased my strength by two stars now, I feared the consumption might have been greater. "
"Ha ha, your current strength is too weak and you don't have the ability to fully display the power of ‘He Heavenly Fire’. Moreover, the current Qi Method of ‘Flame Mantra’ is only for the Middle Huang Class. With the upper limit of Dou Qi of this kind of Qi Method, of course you can't let ‘Heavenly Fire’ squander Dou Qi randomly. " Said Yao Lao with a smile.
"Oh yes Qi Method!" Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately widened. This was the most important step, yet he almost forgot about it after allowing himself to have fun in the unrestrained excitement of purifying ‘He Heavenly Fire’.
"Don't rush. Now that you have completely perfected the ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’, swallowing it to develop your Qi Method is only a matter of time. The amount of work you do today is already quite large. Rest for one day first Something like swallowing ‘Heavenly Fire’ emphasizes on maintaining balance in your body. If you are in too much of a hurry, there may be a counterattack. " Yao Lao shook his head and persuaded him.
"Uh well." Hearing this, Xiao Yan was confused. When he saw Yao Lao's serious expression, he could only nod his head helplessly despite the unwillingness in his heart.
"We'll start late tomorrow night. That is the time when the temperature is lowest. Although this will only give you a little help with your efforts to digest ‘Heavenly Fire’, we cannot leave it. This small increase in your chances of success may ultimately determine whether evolution will succeed. " Yao Lao was spoken seriously.
"OK, we'll start late tomorrow night .." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had agreed, Yao Lao also heaved a sigh of relief. His body trembled slightly, turning into a flowing light that entered into the ring. As he did so, he left a faint laughter echoing within the cave, "Since it's been like this, you will be responsible for yourself until then. I'll be out again tomorrow. "
Nodding, Xiao Yan gently rubbed the black-colored ring on his finger. He laughed softly and waved his hand to store the green lotus into the storage ring. After which, his toes pressed against the stone wall and his body gently floated out of the mountain cave like a free-floating dandylion.
One day slowly passed with an extremely excited mood of Xiao Yan. As the second day night sky gradually covered the ground, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on a protruding rock at the top of the mountain, began to slowly open his eyes. He stretched out his hand and felt the air between the sky and the land slowly turn cold. Immediately, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Standing up, Xiao Yan raised his head to stare at the dark sky. Perhaps it was because a storm was about to occur but a suppressive force covered the space between the ground and the sky.
Seemingly sensing the weather outside, Yao Lao once again floated out from within the ring at this moment. He stretched out his hand and made some imaginary grips. He quickly nodded his head and softly said, "Not bad. Maybe because of the weather but the heat in the air has now been pushed to the lowest level. This is the most suitable climatic condition to digest ‘Heavy Heavenly’. "
"Should we start now?" Xiao Yan anxiously rubbed his hands together as he raised his head to ask.
"Wait a minute. Midnight is the time when cold air is most dense. We'll start then! " Yao Lao shook his head, soaring to the entrance of the cave to look at the dark night sky as he said.
Xiao Yan nodded and did not open his mouth again. He sat cross-legged on a large rock and his eyes slowly closed as he began to calm his heart that was pounding continuously.
In the black sky, a gentle breeze carrying cool air blew past, causing the sound waves of ‘hua hua’ to be heard in the mountain forest. Within the thick black clouds, a muffled thunder sound suddenly roared and echoed throughout the mountain forest. Not long after the thunder roared, an enormous silver-colored lightning bolt suddenly passed through the clouds. A bright silver-colored light seemed to have split through the sky and land, instantly illuminating the dark black mountain forest.
Standing on the side of the mountain cave, Yao Lao looked at the sky where lightning suddenly lit up and thunder rumbled. He stretched out his hand and raindrops as big as seeds fell, issuing crackling sounds as they fell. In an instant, the ‘pa pa’ sound of raindrops crashing into tree leaves echoed throughout the mountain forest.
"Start"
Waves of cold wind blew towards Yao Lao. He slowly exhaled, tilted his head and faced the young man in the mountain cave before whispering.
Hearing this, the closed-eyed Xiao Yan opened his eyes and swept his gaze toward the mountain forest outside that had lit up from the flashing lightning bolts in the sky. He took a deep breath and nodded his head seriously.
"I hope you will succeed. I can't give you any help during the process of digesting ‘Heavenly Fire’ and developing the Qi Method. Therefore, you can only rely on yourself "Yao Lao put his hand on his back and raised his head to look at the silver snake like lightning in the sky. He was silent for a long time before his deep voice accompanied by waves of thunder floated within the mountain cave, "Here, I want to say something … You may have swallowed ‘Fire Purple’ and successfully developed the Qi Method once but according to the scroll, only by repeatedly swallowing ‘He Heavenly Fire’ would it be possible to develop the Qi Method to a very high grade. However, whether a destructive object like ‘Heavenly Fire’ can really be consumed by someone Not many people in this Dou Qi continent can guide you, including me "
"You are the only one practicing ‘Flame Mantra’. So, you should be the one to gauge whether it has the potential and qualifications to become a Tian Class Qi Method. " While he was saying what he had said up until this point, Yao Lao's brows had been tightly gritted. A while later, he said softly, "If evolution fails, then this ‘Mantra Api’ Qi Method might really have some problems. When that time comes ... Release this Qi Method. ‘Flame Mantra’ without its developing abilities is almost as valuable as the scroll of the Xuan Class Qi Method. "
Xiao Yan slightly lowered his head. No one could clearly see his expression but the fist under his sleeve was clenched tightly.
"Bang!" Thunder flashed at the foot of the sky and the roar of his thunder resounded in the mountain forest.
As the thunder roared, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly. He slowly raised his head and looked at the old back that was standing near the entrance of the mountain cave. After several years of accompanying him like a shadow, Yao Lao's figure seemed to grow even more stooped.
Observing the old man whose body appeared to be very small and skinny under the lightning, Xiao Yan suddenly laughed softly. A warm voice echoed within the cave.
"Ke Ke, Master, we have already reached this step so why are you saying these disappointing words? Even if the evolution of the Qi Method fails this time, I think I should not give up. You have said before that the Qi Method is an important item for me to step onto a strong peak. Besides teacher, your body needs fire created from the evolution of ‘Flame Mantra’ to be created. If I stop practicing ‘Flame Mantra’, then it is the same as letting go of your hope of coming back to life … "
The warm laughter behind him caused Yao Lao's body to suddenly tense up. He took a few deep breaths and slowly turned his head. Under the reflection of the silver-colored lightning, his muddy old eyes were both touched and delighted.
"Because you are so persistent, then my good disciple, calm your mind and practice. I'm sure you'll succeed in "Yao Lao's palm rubbing the corner of his eyes and smiling. After which, he raised his hand and watched the endless dark black sky. He was silent for a moment before he muttered softly, "In addition, even if this Qi Method is truly unable to swallow ‘He Heavenly Fire’, The teacher will think of every possible method to make you a strong person who stands at the top …"
A wrinkled hand hit the side of the entrance lightly after Yao Lao exited the cave. A line of cracks spread from him and a huge boulder suddenly and immediately collapsed. In an instant, it completely blocked the entrance of the cave.
After tilting his head to look towards the completely blocked cave entrance, Yao Lao's body floated above the nearby mountain rock. He let the raindrops pass through his illusory body and quietly stood under the silver snakes that filled the sky, waiting for the young man to succeed.
