Chapter 1843 Spiritual Qi: The energy that guides the evolution of all things and nourishes life in heaven and earth.

"Could it really be related to Bai Xuan?"

Once this thought arose, it quickly coiled around Huo Yu's heart like a vine.

There's a saying that goes: "When all other possibilities have been eliminated, the one that remains, however improbable, is very likely the truth."

Although the current situation is not to the point of denying all possibilities, as long as her feeling just now was correct, then besides Bai Xuan, there is no other person on the entire Earth who could cause changes in "spiritual energy".

However, this is on the premise that the "spiritual energy" has actually changed.

Huo Yu cleared his mind of distractions and entered a state of cultivation once again.

This time, she no longer pursued cultivation efficiency, but instead devoted most of her attention to the meticulous perception of every wisp of spiritual energy flowing into her body.

With his mind highly focused, he observed the changes as spiritual energy flowed into his body.

At first, everything was normal. The spiritual energy was gentle and pure, just like in countless previous cultivation sessions, flowing smoothly along the body's meridians.

However, just as a certain cycle is about to be completed, at the point where the old and new spiritual energy are being exchanged.

coming!

That strange "activity" has reappeared!
Although faint, like a firefly in the night, flashing by in an instant, it was captured by Huo Yu with unparalleled clarity!
"Shh!"

Huo Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. His previous confusion and hesitation vanished, replaced by absolute certainty and an uncontrollable shock.

"That's right! My feeling was correct!"

The spiritual energy has indeed changed!

Although this change is extremely subtle, limited to a very small portion of spiritual energy, and seems to be in an unstable, intermittent state, it does exist!

This is absolutely not an illusion!
"But is this change good or bad?"

Huo Yu carefully examined herself. The trace of "active" spiritual energy she had just absorbed had not had any visible effect on her body, but she also did not see anything "beneficial" about it.

The amount she absorbed was too small to be sufficient to determine its impact.

To understand this, a deeper study of "spiritual energy" is needed, but it is clear that they are not capable of doing so at the moment.

However, given that it involved Bai Xuan, she felt that the change in "spiritual energy" must be beneficial.

In this world, any unknown entity or any powerful individual may harbor potential malice towards human civilization or bring uncontrollable risks based on their own purposes.

Bai Xuan, however, would absolutely not.

This wasn't Huo Yu's worship of Bai Xuan, but simply her understanding of Bai Xuan.

Because Bai Xuan is the "Child of Nature," the one favored by the will of Earth, Huo Yu knew from the moment she met Bai Xuan and learned of his abilities that Bai Xuan was the human being who loved "nature" the most.

Therefore, as long as the changes in "spiritual energy" are related to Bai Xuan, their nature is almost self-evident and must be beneficial, enabling this world and all things living on it to move towards a more promising future.

Even assuming, hypothetically, that this change was unrelated to Bai Xuan and was orchestrated by some unknown entity,
If she could sense the changes, how could Bai Xuan not sense them?

Given Bai Xuan's ability to easily create and destroy a parallel world in his "dream," if this change contained even the slightest bit of malice, the fate of that "mastermind" would be predictable.

The "polluted" spiritual energy will inevitably be restored to its original state in an instant under Bai Xuan's will.

Firefeather believed this.

As the energy that guides the evolution of all things and nourishes the life of heaven and earth, Bai Xuan would never allow any abnormal activity that is harmful to it.

Knowing this, there's no need to doubt whether the change is good or bad; instead, we should think about why this change happened.

Is this a natural evolution of the Reiki revival process, like the previous "Reiki Tide"?

Or was it that Bai Xuan actively "optimized" the "spiritual energy" for some grander future vision?
Or perhaps it's simply the effect of Bai Xuan's own increased strength on spiritual energy?
The first possibility is fine; Huo Yu can accept it completely. But the second and third possibilities are not acceptable.

If that's the case, then how powerful must Bai Xuan be to influence or even change energy like "spiritual energy"?

The fundamental reason why the entire Earth has transformed from a "technological civilization" to a "technology and cultivation civilization" is because of "spiritual energy."

Bai Xuan became stronger because of "spiritual energy," and now he's so powerful that he's even affecting the very foundation of "spiritual energy."
Is this right?
Shouldn't cultivation become more difficult as you progress?

Why does it seem like Bai Xuan's story gets simpler as it progresses?

They still haven't reached the "divine" realm that Bai Xuan achieved a few months after the spiritual energy revival began, but now Bai Xuan has broken through to the "divine" realm more than once.

Is this really reasonable?
Although Bai Xuan did indeed "open up," it was perhaps too much of an overreach.

In the past, living in the same world as Bai Xuan was both a blessing and a huge "pressure".

The fortune lies in having the privilege of witnessing or even participating in a magnificent era; the pressure lies in the fact that the finish line you strive for may not even reach the starting point of someone else's journey.

but now?
Who would be so stubborn as to chase after Bai Xuan?

Is that guy someone you can catch up with just by chasing him?
Putting aside whether they can catch up with his speed of improvement, the key point is that Bai Xuan's lifespan is also longer than theirs.

I want to pursue her, but how? There's absolutely no way.

Didn't you see that Qin Tian has already given up?

"Forget it, if I really want to know, I might as well find some time and just call him directly to ask him."

Given her fairly familiar relationship with Bai Xuan, Bai Xuan wouldn't care about this kind of issue.

She couldn't think of anything in this world that Bai Xuan would care about.

Oh, there is one, and that is the future of Earth's civilization.

Apart from that, it seems there really isn't anything else.

Huo Yu shook his head, closed his eyes, and began cultivating again.

She was already cultivating, but she temporarily stopped because she noticed the changes in the "spiritual energy". Now that she doesn't want to think about it, she should naturally continue cultivating.

Although she wouldn't pursue Bai Xuan, she would still try to catch up with the others, who were also in the first tier. After all, they were the "Four Emperors of China" back then, and she didn't want to end up at the bottom.

However, she noticed the change in spiritual energy, and Qin Tian and Chen Bing must have noticed it as well. I wonder what their reaction will be.

At the same time, inside the Imperial Capital's Spiritual Energy Bureau, Qin Tian's closed eyelids trembled slightly.

A subtle yet undeniable sense of unease emanated from his body, disrupting his cultivation rhythm.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in his deep gaze.

He did not get up, but instead frowned slightly, immersing himself completely in his perception of the surrounding environment, especially the spiritual energy particles that he was slowly absorbing.

"strangeness."

He muttered to himself, a thoughtful expression appearing on his cold face.

Slightly different from the "activity" that Huo Yu felt, he captured a more restrained, subtle stimulation that leaned more towards "optimization" and "purification".

But regardless of the form of expression, they all point to the same fact: the nature of Reiki itself has undergone a fundamental change that transcends conventional understanding.

Almost the instant he confirmed this, a name appeared in Qin Tian's mind like a brand, clear and unquestionable.

Bai Xuan.

Without needing to think at all, Qin Tian almost instinctively concluded that the change in spiritual energy he sensed was due to Bai Xuan.

"Has your strength improved again?"

It appears to be a question, but it is actually a statement of affirmation.

Qin Tian's expression was somewhat complicated.

I vaguely remember that at the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, when the name of the "Four Emperors of China" had just appeared, Qin Tian also regarded Bai Xuan as an opponent that needed to be taken seriously and even pursued.

Even though he knew he could never catch up with Bai Xuan in his lifetime, he always held onto the belief that "even if I can't surpass him, I must not fall too far behind."

But reality is cruel.

This gap wasn't insurmountable from the beginning, but rather it widened at a despairing pace without anyone noticing.

Qin Tian even had a feeling that perhaps on the first day Bai Xuan awakened his superpower, the difference in strength between him and Bai Xuan was actually the smallest.

From that day forward, every minute, every second, that chasm widened and deepened at a speed he could not have imagined.

Bai Xuan's strength improvement seemed to have no bottlenecks and no limits.

Every unusual phenomenon that occurred in the world reminded Qin Tian that Bai Xuan's strength had reached a higher level.

From beginning to end, they were never on the same level.

Now, even the "second" position has been taken by Xuanzhen.

Although he felt resentful, Xuanzhen's strength was indeed superior to his, which was an undeniable fact.

At that time, he felt an indescribable sense of loss because of this.

However, he did not wallow in disappointment, but instead transformed his resentment and sense of urgency into an almost demanding motivation for cultivation.

Focus all your energy on exploring your own strength.

He repeatedly challenged his own limits, honing his control over his superpowers to an unparalleled level. At the same time, he devoted more energy to the integration with the Flame Dragon Armor, constantly trying to achieve a higher level of integration between his superpowers and the armor, unleashing power far exceeding that of the past.

He is much stronger now than before; if he were to fight Xuanzhen again, he doesn't think he would lose.

In fact, they had agreed to a rematch not long ago, and he did not lose then either.

At that time, he had already used every means except for life-or-death battles, but he didn't know if Xuanzhen had done the same, or if there was something else he was hiding.

The ripples in my thoughts gradually subsided.

Qin Tian sighed softly and stopped thinking about it.

He slowly closed his eyes, clearing his mind of all distractions, and his spiritual energy flowed gently around him.

At this moment, his state of mind was like a lake covered with ice and snow, calm and focused.

His path lies right beneath his feet.

Becoming stronger is for the sake of protection, and also to live up to the name of "Dragon Emperor".

As for the rest, there's no need to think about it anymore.

Tianhai City, inside the training ground.

Chen Bing stood quietly in the center of the room, her body radiating no chill, yet maintaining the temperature of the entire space at an extremely low and constant value.

When that subtle change penetrated through layers of barriers and reached her senses, her eyelashes trembled slightly before she regained her composure.

Unlike Huo Yu and Qin Tian, ​​Chen Bing's reaction was almost indifferent.

She noticed the change in the spiritual energy, but she didn't care. To her, spiritual energy was the soil that nourished her special abilities, a tool, and a resource.

Occasional fluctuations in soil fertility may affect crop growth, but ultimately, crop vigor depends more on the seeds' own genes and the grower's skills.

What caused this change? Is it a blessing or a curse? That's a problem that Liu Suifeng and the others need to worry about. She only needs to know that this change hasn't caused her any discomfort or hindrance so far, and that's enough.

Trying to ponder grand questions that are far beyond one's own understanding and control is a waste of energy and utterly meaningless.

She couldn't possibly give up cultivation just because of the changes in spiritual energy.

Therefore, worrying about it will only add to your troubles.

Once she made up her mind, she put this insignificant interlude out of her mind and devoted herself once again to tempering and comprehending her own power.

As she focused, a massive, incredibly condensed phoenix phantom quietly emerged in the void behind her, emanating an extremely cold aura far purer and more terrifying than ever before.

This illusory figure is the most direct manifestation of her breakthrough in strength after she resisted and wiped out the beast tide that swept through Tianhai City during the fourth spiritual energy tide!

The fourth spiritual energy tide not only brought another surge in spiritual energy concentration, but also a violent impact on and an opportunity to reshape the existing cultivation system.

As the first awakened first-order level superhuman, Chen Bing's talent "Extreme Ice Phoenix" is inherently compatible with "ice".

After the fourth spiritual energy surge, she once again broke through her own limits, pushing her supernatural abilities to an unprecedented level.

The phantom of the extreme ice phoenix behind her was no longer a pure energy aggregate as before, but had transformed into a divine beast phantom containing true will and authority over ice.

The phantom became more solid, its feathers as clear as ice crystals, and its pupils burned with a ghostly blue flame. Its pressure was enough to freeze weak mutated creatures from body to soul.

It can even detach itself from the main body to a certain extent and attack and defend autonomously.

If she was previously known as one of the "Four Emperors of China," but as time went by, the gap between her and Qin Tian widened, she is now confident that her strength has caught up with Qin Tian's, and is even no weaker than Xuanzhen's.

Although she did not deliberately compete for any ranking, but simply followed her own path and gradually became stronger, she would feel happy and satisfied when she surpassed those who were stronger than her.

Ultimately, she was initially just as obsessed with being the strongest, but after meeting Bai Xuan, she realized that she would never be the "strongest" in this lifetime.

My inner thoughts also changed at that time.

"Wow!"

The phantom of the extreme ice phoenix stretched its neck and cried out, the silent sound waves causing ripples in the space.

Chen Bing slowly raised her hand, a wisp of cold air swirling around her fingertips. The cold air was not white, but a deep, dark blue that seemed to devour light.

"not enough."

She murmured to herself, her eyes showing no trace of complacency, only a pursuit of a higher realm.
