Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 256: Chapter 131: Path of Refinement_1

The Qi of Late Winter due to its involvement with the forces of time, can be referred to as a rare treasure in the Lower Realms. Even within the Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, there’s only one piece of ancient profound ice formed from the Late Winter Qi, which demonstrates its rarity.

Especially for the Primal Chaos Realm, which has fallen into periods of Spirit Energy depletion multiple times, the Late Winter Qi that can freeze and preserve one’s vitality to survive catastrophes is a supreme treasure for avoiding calamities.

Although the Late Winter Qi is limited by the quality of the Qi of heaven and earth, and cannot completely freeze those who are above the Spirit Refining masters, if the ancient profound ice emerges, even the Void Refining True Monarch would seize it at all costs.

However, this Heaven and Earth Qi, which can be regarded as a divine treasure, was effortlessly manipulated by Shen Yuan.

Gong Buyu could sense that the quantity of Late Winter Qi created within this courtyard was not substantial and might take several days to accumulate a significant amount, yet it was absolutely sufficient for her daily practice of the “Moon’s Truth-condensing Breathing Method”.

With this in mind, the reverence in Gong Buyu’s eyes for Shen Yuan deepened even more.

Whether Shen Yuan previously used the Heavenly Court Decree or enacted the Emperor’s projection, they were quite common in the prosperous cultivation era a millennium ago, which Gong Buyu had oftentimes heard about due to her identity.

However, the manner in which Shen Yuan casually manipulates the Qi of heaven and earth is unprecedented, even in the flourishing era of cultivation.

If the Qi of heaven and earth could be effortlessly produced, the Path of Refinement from the ancient times would not have been replaced by the Four Steps of Immortality Ascension. The strength of a Qi Refinement master, who controls the Qi of heaven and earth, would definitely surpass a cultivator who undertakes the Four Steps.

However, the reality is that the Qi of heaven and earth is difficult to find, and the Dao is difficult to comprehend. These factors have gradually led to the decline of the Qi Refinement lineage.

“Could this mean that my master possesses the ability to rewrite the Dao of a lineage?”

Gong Buyu, lost in astonishment, did not realize that the little kitten who was playfully sitting on Shen Yuan’s shoulder had its eyes wide open, as if it had witnessed something unbelievable.

The Late Winter Qi began to emerge between heaven and earth, strands of icy-blue frost appeared as if they could freeze time itself.

Being in this realm, Gong Buyu felt that the Late Winter Qi within her body entered an unprecedentedly active state.

Before Gong Buyu could fully understand this change, Shen Yuan, sitting in front of the stone table, slowly said,

“Coagulate your spirits.”

Upon hearing this, Gong Buyu immediately calms her thoughts and sits upright on the seat.

The cold moonshine poured down, and the “Moon’s Truth-condensing Breathing Method” that Shen Yuan had taught earlier began to emerge in Gong Buyu’s mind.

“Moonshine of Taiyin, eliminate the false and preserve the true.”

His plain words, like a thunderbolt, exploded in Gong Buyu’s spiritual platform. Then, a warm current flooded into Gong Buyu’s body, prompting her to instinctively start cultivating according to the “Moon’s Truth-condensing Breathing Method”.

At that moment, Gong Buyu’s yet to be fully formed Yin God seemed to have transcended the constraints of her physical body and manifested under the moonshine.

Bathing in the moonshine of this narrow realm, Gong Buyu, in a deeply focused state, looked at the chilly full moon; within her line of sight, countless Dao secrets intertwined. The collisions of Dao and principles continuously engraved onto Gong Buyu’s nascent Yin God.

At the same time, within the body lying below in the courtyard, without the Yin God to hold on to the spiritual platform, this physical body seemed to be just instinctively breathing and exhaling.

Strands of Late Winter Qi were incorporated into her body following Gong Buyu’s breathing, this Central World Qi of Late Winter, powerful enough to freeze a Spirit Transmuting Great Demon, did not cause any harm to Gong Buyu’s body.

On the contrary, with each breath and exhalation, the peak stage of Gong Buyu’s Qi Training Stage faintly displayed a higher-level path. Although her Mana did not increase, it felt more condensed.

Being utterly immersed in her cultivation, Gong Buyu felt an unprecedented affinity with everything in this realm, whether it was the full moon overhead or the surrounding world, her Yin God was constantly forged and solidified by the moonshine.

The Heaven and Earth Dao, which should have been unattainable, seemed to be within grasp vaguely.

Gong Buyu was engrossed in this Great Divine Power, changing the world and manipulating the Qi of heaven and earth.

If Gong Buyu had achievements in the Path of Refinement, she would find that the cold full moon hanging high in the sky was in fact formed by Zhuming Chengye, and this realm had long been covered by thick Primordial Elemental Qi.

The invisible hand manipulated everything in the Courtyard Secret Realm, weaving the Rule of Heaven and Earth with Primordial Elemental Qi, deducing the Dao and principles unique to the Late Winter Qi.

Under these complex Rules of Heaven and Earth, strands of Primordial Elemental Qi found their way into this realm, bearing the unique rules of Late Winter Qi, thus transforming an ordinary strand of Primordial Elemental Qi into the precious Mid-ranked Heaven and Earth Qi of Late Winter.

This kind of method had long transcended worldly limits. Yet Shen Yuan, with his mere Qi training body, was able to manipulate the Primordial Elemental Qi, allowing it to weave Heaven and Earth rules within the Courtyard Secret Realm. This was precisely the effect of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power.

After Shen Yuan had reflected upon part of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power after a month-long closed-door cultivation, he finally understood how big his previous misunderstanding of this Heavenly General Great Divine Power law was.

Initially, Shen Yuan believed that the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power’s derivation of Heaven and Earth Qi required external forces to aid in comprehending the rules of Heaven and Earth.

In reality, the way of Qi Refinement can derive all things from an initial strand of Elemental Qi, and the rules of Heaven and Earth are naturally part of the derivation of Elemental Qi.

As long as Shen Yuan’s comprehension of the Heaven and Earth rules are deep enough, the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power can demonstrate them using Primordial Elemental Qi.

Furthermore, Shen Yuan can also analyze the rules of Heaven and Earth by breathing in and out the Qi of heaven and earth.
