Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 124: The Method of Infusing Qi into the Body and the Yang Spirit

After suppressing the Twelve Celestial Beasts, Yang Ning finally had the time to comprehend the difference between the Divine Sea realm and the Ninth Layer of the physical body's spiritual realm.

Firstly, the spiritual manifestation of the Ninth Layer of the physical body's spiritual realm can only be used for observation and detection.

However, in the Tenth Layer of the Divine Sea realm, the spiritual power can already materialize and interfere with nature.

Wind, clouds, thunder, gold, wood, water, fire.

With the assistance of the power of heaven and earth, cultivators in the Tenth Layer of the physical body have already begun to resemble immortals.

Secondly, the spiritual power can interfere with oneself.

The effect is similar to summoning a deity, but instead of summoning an external deity, it is summoning one's own deity. For example, Yang Ning can summon the Twelve Celestial Beasts and unleash their power.

Among the Twelve Celestial Beasts, the ones suitable for self-use are the Tengu, Nine-tailed Fox, Whirling Turtle, White Ze, Horizontal Duke, Kui Ox, Dang Kang, and Chong Ming.

As for the effects...

Yang Ning first tried Chong Ming.

"Chong Ming, appear!"

Actually, there was no need to say it out loud, but Yang Ning felt that it was cooler this way.

In an instant, the Chong Ming bird disappeared from the Divine Sea and transformed into a spiritual power, covering his eyes.

Yang Ning instantly felt that his vision had become countless times stronger. Not only could he see clearly in the pitch-black seclusion room, but he could also see the slowly falling dust and the water droplets in the air that were freely changing shape under the breeze.

Cloud Mist Information Matrix water droplets!

"Not only has my vision been enhanced, but there is also the effect of dynamic vision. As for the principle behind this function, it seems to be somewhat similar to self-hypnosis," Yang Ning pondered, comprehending the feeling he just had.

If someone constantly tells you that you are beautiful, outstanding, and a fairy, and that everyone should accommodate you and no one is worthy of you, then over time, she will truly believe that she is beautiful, outstanding, and a fairy. She will no longer be able to listen to any unpleasant words or look down on anyone who is not up to her standards.

From this, it can be understood that the human spirit also possesses power. However, in the previous world, where spiritual energy was not apparent, the spirit was also weak, so the effects were still within the scope of human understanding.

In the cultivation world, the human spirit can grow to an unimaginable extent, and the effects it can produce naturally become extraordinary.

"Perhaps the summoning of gods and the art of summoning in the previous world on Earth were not fake!" Yang Ning speculated.

Those cultivators who created these methods might have had such powerful spirits that they self-hypnotized themselves and created a deity in their consciousness.

When he uses the art of summoning, what he is summoning is not the power of a real existing deity, but the power of his own spirit.

That is why he feels particularly exhausted after using the art of summoning, and even his lifespan is affected.

Because the spirit has been greatly consumed!

However, he himself does not know this and instead believes even more in the power of the deities.

He will also summarize these methods and pass them on to future generations, but those future generations do not possess his terrifying talent and spiritual power, so they cannot achieve anything.

Over time, real spells have become deceptive tricks and feudal superstitions.

Yang Ning then summoned Bai Ze.

Bai Ze is the master of wisdom, and when it merged with him, it entered his brain. As a result, his brain became clear, and countless thoughts surged into his mind in an instant, with endless flashes of inspiration.

"It feels like taking NZT-48!" Yang Ning experienced it for a while and then dispersed it.

Other cultivators might become addicted to this feeling, but he wouldn't. In the Spirit Realm, his thinking speed is even more terrifying than this.

However...

Yang Ning felt that even after Bai Ze dispersed, that feeling of enhanced wisdom still remained, albeit very weak.

"It seems that this Celestial Beast can also enlighten animals!" Yang Ning thought.

If he continues to use Bai Ze to enlighten animals and accumulates this residual feeling several times, their wisdom will gradually increase until it reaches the level of humans.

"It seems that the Tower of Eternity only taught the method, but did not teach the various uses of this method!" Yang Ning understood in his heart. He tried each of the Twelve Celestial Beasts one by one, and then handed the direction of amplification to Deep Blue, letting him deduce the uses.

With Deep Blue's abilities, he would definitely be able to thoroughly research the Twelve Celestial Beasts and understand them clearly.

As for Yang Ning, he began to study the third mystery of the Divine Sea realm.

Comprehending spiritual energy!

First, there is spiritual manifestation, and then it transforms from virtual to real.

After two sublimations, the spiritual power of a cultivator in the Tenth Layer of the physical body is no longer the same as that of an ordinary person.

At this level, in a calm state of mind, one can sense the spiritual energy freely wandering outside the body, between heaven and earth.

There are colors of gold and silver falling from the sky like rain, which are the High Grade spiritual energy, the spiritual energy of the stars.

There are spiritual energies in the colors of blue, red, white, crimson, and black, wandering in the air, which are the Middle Grade spiritual energy, the five-element spiritual energy.

There are dim and gloomy spiritual energies, like smoke and blood, flying close to the ground, which are the Low Grade spiritual energy, the demonic spiritual energy.

Not only can he perceive spiritual energy, but he can also manipulate it with concentration, and even transport it into his body through the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head!

These spiritual energies will enter the body through the Baihui acupoint, pass through the Divine Sea, integrate with the spirit, and then flow out of the Divine Sea, interacting with the Qi and Blood Force Field, and finally gather in the Dantian after circulating through a large meridian in the body.

If he can successfully complete this task, Yang Ning will have broken through from the Divine Sea realm to the Qi Refining Stage, becoming a glorious Qi Refining cultivator.

His status will also be promoted from the outer sect to the inner sect, from being a resource for the Extreme Eternal Sect to being part of the ruling class of the Extreme Eternal Sect.

At this stage, even if he just takes out a gun, let alone a missile, the Sect Master will only praise his artifact refining skills, without investigating any secrets behind him.

Of course, Yang Ning is just thinking about it. He has just broken through to the Divine Sea realm. How dare he try to cultivate his Qi now? This is not being a genius, this is seeking death!

Yang Ning first entered the Spirit Realm.

"I have already observed the spiritual energy, so wouldn't I bring the spiritual energy in?" With a thought from Yang Ning, the entire Spirit Realm changed its colors.

The power of the stars floated in the sky, the dark and gloomy demonic spiritual energy on the ground, and in between, there were colorful five-element spiritual energies.

Then, the spiritual energies entered his body!

Yang Ning manipulated a gust of wind spiritual energy to enter his body. This kind of spiritual energy was the most abundant in the world, and he had the ability to control the wind, so absorbing wind spiritual energy was also a good match.

Then, he watched as these spiritual energies entered through the Baihui acupoint, entered the Divine Sea, dyeing the Divine Sea into various colors. Then, the spiritual energies circulated through his body, dyeing the meridians into various colors as well.

"How does it feel?" Deep Blue asked curiously when she saw Yang Ning open his eyes.

"It's just in name, not in reality!" Yang Ning said helplessly.

What he simulated was just a flow of colorful energy, which had nothing to do with real spiritual energy.

Moreover, when spiritual energy enters the body, it's not that you can choose which kind of spiritual energy to attract. All kinds of spiritual energies will enter your body all at once.

In theory, the sect could set up an array to filter out some less aggressive spiritual energies for disciples to cultivate their Qi.

But whether no one thought of it or there were other considerations, Yang Ning had never heard of such a thing.

It seems that I must truly refine a spiritual energy and enter my body before I can simulate the Spirit Realm!

However, breaking through the Qi Refining Stage is not so easy. I don't even know the criteria for a breakthrough!

Who knows when the Divine Sea can withstand the impact of spiritual energy?

"Hmm?" Yang Ning sat cross-legged, allowing Deep Blue to deduce while he himself also enhanced his wisdom with Bai Ze. He began to contemplate this question.

But in an instant, he thought of a method.

The first hurdle for spiritual energy entering the body is the Divine Sea. As long as the Divine Sea can withstand the impact of spiritual energy, there is a high probability of breaking through the Qi Refining Stage.

The Divine Sea is a function evolved by the human mind to adapt to the increase in spiritual intensity. It is a part of the soul!

Fundamentally speaking, it is not the Divine Sea that needs to withstand the impact of spiritual energy, but the soul!

Extreme Eternal World does not have any relevant methods, but in my past life, there were!

In the novels Yang Ning has read, there is a path of the sun god. The first stage of cultivation is the soul's Astral Projection, which is the yin god.

After the yin god passes through the three calamities of wind, thunder, and fire, it can transform from the yin god to the sun god. From then on, it can wander in broad daylight, and the soul changes from virtual to real, transforming into the sun god!

Of course, there are many different explanations for the three calamities. Some say it is water, fire, and wind, while others say it is wind, thunder, and the sun, or water, fire, and thunder.

But for Yang Ning, since Low Grade, Middle Grade, and High Grade spiritual energy are clearly present, the three calamities are very clear.

First, use the soul to attempt to pass the demonic spiritual energy calamity. When able to withstand the demonic spiritual energy, then attempt to pass the five elements spiritual energy calamity. When able to withstand the five elements spiritual energy, then attempt to pass the power of the stars calamity!

After passing the three calamities, the strength of the soul will naturally increase to the point where it can withstand the impact of spiritual energy. At that time, introducing qi into the body will be a matter of course!

This approach is also very dangerous, but unlike directly introducing qi into the body, even if the soul is damaged during the Transcending Tribulation, it can slowly recover.

There are many techniques in the Myriad Saints Alliance that directly attack the soul. In order to counter the Myriad Saints Alliance, the Extreme Eternal Sect naturally sells soul-nurturing pills and the like. At worst, one can rest for a period of time before continuing.

But with introducing qi into the body, one could end up half-dead and cut off from the path of immortality.

In the worst case, death would be the result.

Compared to this outcome, is it not acceptable to only have the soul injured and in need of rest?

Yang Ning easily convinced himself and then turned his head to ask, "Deep Blue, do you have any techniques that can allow a person to Astral Project their soul?"

"Yes!"
