Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 262: Advancement of the Five Beasts Infusion Technique, Grandmaster Realm!

Closing his eyes, Zhong Cang contemplated the changes Heavenly Heart had brought upon himself.

While contemplating, he also discovered something interesting. Because he was extremely compatible with the heavens and the earth, he was regarded by the Heavenly Dao as one of its own. Zhong Cang could borrow power from the Heavenly Dao.

Well, to put it in simpler terms, Zhong Cang could make a grand vow in advance and borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao.

"This can be used in emergencies, but it shouldn't be used too often. Once I make a grand vow that I cannot fulfill, I'll be done for."

"The heavens cannot be deceived!"

...

It took Zhong Cang quite some time to comprehend Heavenly Heart, but soon, the moment he had been eagerly waiting for arrived.

The feast at the Dragon Palace had temporarily come to an end, and he could now absorb the Dragon Vein Qi.

Instead of going alone, accompanied by Qing Qiu Shangren, the two of them arrived at a valley heavily guarded by the Dragon Race.

Upon arriving, Zhong Cang noticed that besides the aquatic demons guarding this place, there was also a magnificent formation enveloping it.

Before Zhong Cang could take a closer look, the formation was activated, and a thick Qi that condensed into the shape of a dragon slowly flowed in the valley.

As soon as Zhong Cang saw this Qi, his body felt a sense of longing and excitement.

He inexplicably felt that this Qi could complete himself.

"Hoo..."

Feeling Zhong Cang's longing, the accompanying Prime Minister Turtle smiled gently and said, "Young friend, go inside. His Majesty the Dragon Lord said that you can stay here as long as you want."

The Dragon Lord indeed had some tricks up his sleeve. Previously, he didn't say anything and couldn't stop Zhong Cang. Now, he no longer did annoying things and wanted to ease the relationship between the two.

In fact, in order to get on good terms with Zhong Cang, the Cloud Firmament Sect had sent spiritual treasures for trade, but the Dragon Lord didn't accept any of them, as Zhong Cang knew.

The Dragon Vein Qi was a gift he gave to himself.

This matter made Zhong Cang feel grateful.

"I would like to ask Prime Minister to thank His Majesty the Dragon Lord for me."

"Alright."

After responding, Zhong Cang couldn't wait any longer and walked towards the Dragon Vein Qi, merging with it.

"Hum..."

At the moment of contact, a deep pressure suppressed Zhong Cang, making him somewhat unable to move.

Even more so, Zhong Cang could feel that this special power not only oppressed his body but also his spiritual energy and soul.

His essence, energy, and spirit, all three were suppressed, making Zhong Cang feel like he had returned from being a Perfected Being to an ordinary person.

"So, this is luck?"

Despite having most of his abilities suppressed, Zhong Cang wasn't afraid. Before Integrated Union, he knew that besides tempering the body and transforming a part of it into a dragon body, the Dragon Vein Qi could also bring luck to humans and dragons. Since mountains and rivers were the most important origins of humanity and the habitat of aquatic creatures, this Dragon Vein Qi also contained a part of the luck between humans and dragons.

Moreover, because mountains and rivers belonged to the heavens and the earth, this luck between humans and dragons also contained some heavenly luck.

The convergence of these three strands of luck allowed the Dragon Vein Qi to possess a special suppressing ability.

In fact, there was a small realm attached to the Hongxuan Continent that established a Luck Dynasty using the Dragon Vein Qi.

The emperor there could use the Dragon Vein Qi to prevent Daoists from even casting spells.

However, in the eyes of the Immortal Dao cultivators, the Luck Dynasty was just a minor path with obvious flaws.

The emperor's rise and fall were tied to luck.

When the country was prosperous, everything went smoothly.

But when the country declined and luck dissipated, the emperor of that dynasty would also die.

To entrust one's future and even life and death to a dynasty was not something cultivators would do.

...

"It's actually quite a good ability, but it can't be relied upon..."

After sighing, Zhong Cang began to absorb the Qi.

"Hum..."

With Zhong Cang's breath, strands of Qi transformed into small dragons and continuously drilled into his body.

Zhong Cang absorbed them from the inside.

Outside, Qing Qiu Shangren and Prime Minister Turtle observed.

After careful observation, Prime Minister Turtle discovered that when Zhong Cang breathed, his internal organs would tremble faintly and coordinate with Zhong Cang's breath. This allowed him to absorb the Qi at a speed five times faster than ordinary cultivators.

"Only five times faster?"

Yes, Prime Minister Turtle used the phrase "only."

As a turtle that had lived for three thousand years, he had seen many geniuses. The Dragon Vein Qi of the mountains and rivers in the Cloud Dream Dragon City had been borrowed several times.

Among those geniuses who absorbed it, being five times faster than ordinary cultivators was considered mediocre.

There is no way, the Sha of the mountains and rivers in Cloud Dream Dragon City is the strongest in terms of Sha Qi. Those who can absorb it are the most outstanding geniuses among cultivators.

Those transcendent monsters, they often possess the Primordial Yang physique, the Primordial Yang physique, the Heavenly Hegemony Physique...

The physique of the Transcendent allows them to absorb Sha Qi at a rate that is nine times, ten times, twenty times that of ordinary people.

Compared to these people, Zhong Cang's physical body, which is only five times stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator at the same level, naturally seems a bit lacking.

After learning this, Prime Minister Turtle was the first to be happy.

"Phew... fortunately, Zhong Cang is not invincible after all, he has flaws... His physical body potential is far inferior to his mana and divine soul."

...

Zhong Cang's absorption efficiency relieved Prime Minister Turtle.

Qing Qiu, on the other hand, frowned and thought that after returning to the sect, she would find a Heaven Level body cultivation technique for Zhong Cang.

For ordinary sect disciples, as long as they excel in one aspect, it is enough.

But as the Saint Child among Saint Children, the core of the future generation of Cloud Firmament Sect, Zhong Cang cannot have any flaws.

...

Because of Zhong Cang's absorption efficiency, Qing Qiu and Prime Minister Turtle had completely different reactions.

However, just as the two were lamenting about this, something unexpected happened.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Yo..."

Sitting cross-legged in the Sha of the mountains and rivers, constantly absorbing Sha Qi, Zhong Cang suddenly heard the sounds of five different animal roars coming from within his body.

After the animal roars sounded, Zhong Cang's body also underwent changes.

With a flash of red light, Zhong Cang's physical body suddenly expanded and grew, and red fur grew on him. His once handsome face even turned into a face with pointed ears and monkey cheeks.

Zhong Cang transformed from a human into a Flame Exploding Ape.

"?!!"

The sudden change stunned both Qing Qiu and Prime Minister Turtle who were watching.

Then, Prime Minister Turtle, who reacted first, was afraid that something was wrong and would affect Cloud Dream Dragon City, so he hurriedly said, "This has nothing to do with us. Although the Sha of the mountains and rivers can cause changes in the human form, it can only transform into a dragon, not a monkey."

"...I know."

Qing Qiu responded to Prime Minister Turtle's words, initially feeling anxious and thinking that someone was plotting against Zhong Cang.

But soon, she realized that things were not as they seemed.

As Zhong Cang's body changed, the strength of his physical body also began to skyrocket.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Cang's physical strength increased by at least six times.

"Huh, what is this..."

Just as Qing Qiu was astonished by this, Zhong Cang's form changed again.

This time, Zhong Cang transformed from an exploding ape into a small deer.

After transforming into a deer, Zhong Cang's aura once again increased by six times.

At this point, Qing Qiu immediately understood that Zhong Cang was not being plotted against, but that his cultivation technique had broken through.

"I remember he once cultivated a Body Tempering technique called the Five Beasts Infusion Technique. Did this technique break through?"

...

Just as Qing Qiu had thought, Zhong Cang's Five Beasts Infusion Technique did indeed break through, from a Fourth Stage Grandmaster to a Fifth Stage Grandmaster.

Although there was an element of fortuitous encounters in this breakthrough, the key was Zhong Cang's arduous cultivation.

—Just like the Qi Consumption Technique, this technique is not of high grade, which is why Zhong Cang was able to cultivate it to a higher level in a short period of time.

Hmm, there is also a part of it that is related to the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram.

This technique allowed Zhong Cang to establish a Five Elements Spirit Gathering formation within his body, allowing him to cultivate at every moment.

The five elements are closely related to the five organs and five beasts, so as the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram progresses, the Five Beasts Infusion Technique also advances.

In the end, the Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram is still at the level of a Fourth Stage Grandmaster because it is too profound.

The Five Beasts Infusion Technique, on the other hand, broke through to a Fifth Stage Grandmaster.

However, although it is an accompanying technique, any technique that breaks through to the Fifth Stage will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the Five Beasts Infusion Technique is no exception.

Just like at this moment, Zhong Cang discovered that he had gained a characteristic called "Transformation of the Five Organs God."

This characteristic allowed Zhong Cang to transform into five different forms: exploding ape, mirage dragon, spirit deer, giant turtle, and White Tiger, greatly enhancing his physical strength.

Hmm... because of the relationship with the Five Organs God, Zhong Cang can transform into a complete beast form or a half-human, half-beast form like an ancient god.

And the Transformation of the Five Organs God is not the only gain from Zhong Cang's advancement in this technique.
