Chapter 200 - Soul Refining

In the void.

Two real dragons with extraordinary power appeared, and their awe-inspiring majesty made Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi's hearts waver, especially the completely different water and fire attributes, which had a strong visual impact.

The two of them just instinctively felt that the water and fire dragons were a bit strong.

But the Gu God had already screamed:

"How is that possible?"

The eyes on his remaining head were wide open, looking both hideous and funny.

As far as he knew, the ancient saints could only activate one secret treasure at most at this stage, but the man in front of him activated two at once. Not only that, but he also unleashed two completely different spiritual power attributes.

"Who is he?"

The Gu God was a little panicked. He naturally recognized that the compass was probably the one that Ning Qi had snatched from the Martial Saint Chiyang. This matter had already spread widely, making people all over the world fearful of this fierce Ancient Saint of Heavenly Sword.

But Ning Qi obviously wouldn't give him time to think carefully.

All the previous attempts were for this moment.

Now that he has determined the true strength of the Gu God, he naturally won't be polite anymore.

After obtaining the Great Sun Compass, his control over spiritual power reached a higher level. It was a good opportunity for him to practice with the Gu God. He pinched the magic formula and the twin dragons of water and fire rushed out simultaneously.

You can see it.

There is some kind of connection between these two real dragons evolved from spiritual power, which makes each other's power even stronger. It is definitely not as simple as just having one more real dragon.

The attributes of water and fire are originally conflicting, but Ning Qi has realized all truths and has formed different views on many artistic conceptions. He has also reached the ultimate state of the artistic conception of water and the artistic conception of fire. At this moment, he can do it with ease, and through the changes of the fusion of yin and yang, he can force water and fire to coexist and amplify each other.

The real dragon roars.

The dragon flame with a scorching breath was extremely domineering, and the golden light in the sky was burned away step by step.

Fire refines real gold!

This imperfect Gengjin spirit body does have amazing defensive power, and is very effective in resisting the sharp edge of swordsmanship, but its weakness is also more prominent, which is that it is more afraid of fire.

Under the influence of such spiritual dragon flame, all the golden fists and golden palms would be burned to ashes.

The Gu God roared and tried his best to burst out his spiritual power.

But it still couldn't stop the downward trend and was completely suppressed.

He was filled with both shock and anger, but finally gritted his teeth and stopped attacking, instead focusing on defense. He had completely accepted the fact that he could not do anything to Ning Qi, but that did not mean he would surrender. The Gu God's eyes were flickering, and he was sensing the white mist that obscured everything around him.

At first, he didn't take the power of the white mist seriously, but now, it is very likely to block his escape route.

That's right.

He has already considered retiring.

“Ancient Sage of Heavenly Sword, do you really want to fight me to the death?!” The Gu God roared, his bones starting to feel like they were boiling and scalding. He realized that something was wrong, “Today I admit defeat, you can just take them away.”

Ning Qi chuckled:

"You die or I live? Sorry, it's you die and I live."

His eyes were indifferent.

It is neither moral nor logical for him to let the Gu God go at this time.

With the fingertips pinching the magic formula, the two real dragons suddenly changed again. As the spiritual power gushed out, the dragon bodies swelled up and directly suppressed the Gu God who was about to escape. Naturally, Ning Qi's little trick did not escape his eyes.

Chant!

The real dragon roared, and the two real dragons' bodies entangled together, forming a double dragon trapping the enemy. From a distance, the two dragon heads looked like one, just like a real dragon with two heads, and there was the mystery of yin and yang hidden in the winding and rotating motion.

The next moment.

Two real dragons exhaled at the same time.

One is water, extremely cold; the other is fire, extremely hot!

Under the shocked gazes of Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi, the Gu God was trapped inside. The two completely different powers made him enjoy the extreme sourness and pleasure, and his miserable cries echoed throughout the ancestral land.

Water and fire make golden bones!

The scene was somewhat shocking.

Listening to the screams of the Gu God, Lan Yiyi's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. Just now, she had completely figured it out. It didn't matter if her past life was controlled, it was only the past. As long as she broke free from the shackles, she would be the master of her future life!

She no longer wanted to think carefully about those false experiences in the past. They were meaningless. The most important thing was to grasp the future.

She glanced at Qin Yun, felt the warmth of her hand, and smiled.

The two looked at each other, and both understood each other's intentions.

"ah!!!!"

"I was wrong, Ancient Sage of Heavenly Sword, I was wrong!!"

The miserable cries for mercy from the Gu God continued to ring out. At first he was still yelling and cursing stubbornly, but gradually, he could not hold on any longer. There was no other way. The pain was too terrible.

The spiritual power of water and fire raged and intertwined on the Gengjin spiritual body.

That feeling is a thousand times more terrifying than lingchi.

He felt like his soul was about to collapse.

The golden light protecting his body was constantly dissipating, and the flesh and blood on his head was slowly disappearing.

It's not that Ning Qi has some kind of cruel habit, but he wants to obtain a more useful spiritual skeleton. Otherwise, if it is refined violently, it will be easier to kill the Gu God, but the skeleton obtained will also greatly lose its spirituality, which is not what he wants to see.

He has already regarded this spiritual skeleton as his own property.

Only by boiling a frog in warm water and slowly wearing away the mark within it can a complete spiritual body be obtained.

The Gu God was still screaming, but his voice was getting weaker and weaker.

Ning Qi just watched calmly, seeing the Gu God who was so arrogant before now begging for mercy humbly, he just shook his head. If the other party had been tough to the end, he would have looked up to him, but now, he looked down on him instead.

Time passes.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The water and fire dragons in the sky also shrank a lot, and the two real dragons finally stopped moving. Ning Qi stretched out his hand and the real dragons turned into spiritual power and drilled into the Yu Wang Pearl and the Big Sun Compass.

But at this moment, there was no trace of the Gu God in the void.

There was only a skeleton emitting a faint golden light floating up and down, without a trace of flesh and blood or internal organs, like a perfect work of art.

Ning Qi's eyes showed joy.

This is a pleasant surprise.

Originally, he thought that this trip would at most allow him to see what magical powers the long-famous Blood Emperor Gu had, but he did not expect to obtain such a golden spirit skeleton. The Gu God's painstaking planning finally helped Ning Qi.

Ning Qi casually sent out a sword energy and slashed at the spirit corpse, and suddenly a crisp clinking sound was heard.

"The hardness of this spirit skeleton is much stronger than any magic weapon I have ever seen. Who knows, I can use it to create a secret treasure in the future." Ning Qi smiled.

but.

What attracted him most about this spirit corpse was the rich golden power contained in it.

In this way, he will gain another foundation.

This period of time.

He has been deducing the path to becoming a Martial Saint.

He is ambitious.

He not only wanted to reach the realm of Martial Saint, but also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of spiritual revival to break through several realms in succession.

According to Taoist Baishan, on the day when spiritual energy is revived, the spiritual energy will be reborn and will be unprecedentedly active, which will be of great benefit to the Martial Saint in breaking through the realm. The ancient saints intend to take this opportunity to return to the peak in one fell swoop.

Ning Qi didn't have that kind of past experience, so he had to find another way.

The Martial Saint cultivated the five elements of magic, so he could only rely on external objects of the five elements to forcibly supplement his foundation and strive to take advantage of this opportunity to soar into the sky. Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, he would have to take it slow even if he had spiritual objects in the future.

Now he has obtained three treasures: Yu Wang Pearl, Big Sun Compass and Gengjin Spirit Skeleton, which correspond to the three attributes of water, fire and gold respectively. If used properly, when his spiritual inspiration is revived, he can step into the third realm of Martial Saint in one fell swoop!

By then.

With his background, he would not be afraid even if those ancient saints returned to their peak, and could even suppress them easily!

Easier than it is now.

When he thought of this, he felt a little hot in his heart.

It’s a pity that such spiritual objects are too rare. Otherwise, if he could gather all five elements of spiritual objects, he might be able to reach the fifth level of Martial Saint in one fell swoop!

Immediately.

Ning Qi shook his head and laughed, thinking that he was a little too greedy. It was already a great luck to get three, and he didn't dare to hope for the rest.

Put aside all distractions.

Ning Qi stretched out his hand and waved, then put the Gengjin spirit skeleton into the Yu Wang Pearl.

Everything is calm.

Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi just walked over and looked at the ancestral land of Southern Xinjiang that had been completely turned into dust. Qin Yun's eyes were filled with amazement. Only then did he realize how abnormally strong his Ninth Junior Brother was. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking how ridiculous it was for him to try to catch up with his Ninth Junior Brother in the past.

Lan Yiyi was also a little dazed. The scene of her being trapped on the altar and ready to be sacrificed was just yesterday, but now it had turned into nothingness.

The Gu God who had controlled her all her life also died completely.

finally.

She raised her head, and her eyes were filled with an unprecedented vitality again, and even her breathing became a little lighter.

She is free!

Lan Yiyi took a step back and saluted Ning Qi solemnly:

"Thank you, Ancient Sage of Heavenly Sword! I will never forget this favor!"

Ning Qi waved his hand and smiled:

"It's just a favor for a favor. Miss Lan, you saved my eighth brother with half your life, otherwise I don't know when he would wake up. Now I kill the Gu God to repay you. You and I owe each other nothing."

Then, he said jokingly:

“The title of Ancient Sage of Heavenly Sword is a bit too formal. Perhaps it won’t be long before Miss Lan will have to call me Ninth Junior Brother.”

He delivered an assist silently.

Hearing this.

Lan Yiyi's pretty face suddenly turned red.

Qin Yun also coughed lightly, and looked around with an uncertain look in his eyes. The two of them loosened their holding hands as if they had been electrocuted.

Ning Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then Qin Yun grabbed his arm and walked to the other side.

The slightly tense atmosphere after the war suddenly disappeared.

Stop laughing.

Ning Qi began to carefully examine the ancestral land of Southern Xinjiang that had been destroyed beyond recognition by the aftermath of the battle. He used the power of heaven and earth to uncover the ruins, but found nothing.

He was not surprised, he was just searching out of instinct.

In a battle of this level, it is basically impossible for anything useful to remain. Even the magical weapons in the eyes of the warriors in the Heavenly Realm will be blown to pieces.

"Miss Lan, may I ask where your Southern Xinjiang poisonous insects came from?" Ning Qi looked a little curious.

Compared to the common martial arts system in the world, the Nanjiang Gu worm is undoubtedly magical. It is compatible with martial arts and has various wonderful uses. For example, the life-sharing Gu used by Lan Yiyi before saved Qin Yun's life.

Blood King Gu and Blood Emperor Gu are used to break through the realm.

And now, the gold-eating Gu of the Gu God almost allowed him to condense a Gengjin spiritual body, which was truly extraordinary.

This naturally made him want to explore.

Lan Yiyi thought for a moment and said:

"It is impossible to trace where this inheritance came from. According to the unified statement of the tribes in Southern Xinjiang, it seems that our bloodline is different from that of the people of Da Yan, so we can awaken a life-defining Gu worm through the secret method of Southern Xinjiang."

"In Southern Xinjiang, everyone has only one destiny Gu, which is baptized by secret methods when they reach adulthood, and then awakened, accompanying them throughout their lives. My destiny Gu is the shared destiny Gu, and the Gu God's destiny Gu is the gold-eating Gu."

Ning Qi asked:

"Where do these natal Gu come from? Why have we never heard of these magical creatures before?"

Lan Yiyi shook her head and said:

"To be precise, before I awakened, there was no such strange thing as the life-sharing Gu in the world. During my adult baptism ceremony, the power of blood and sacrifice will descend upon the prepared Gu, and then transform it."

"The so-called preparation Gu is actually to choose cicadas, snakes, centipedes, toads and other creatures as carriers according to one's own preferences. Before they are transformed into various natal Gu, they are actually the most ordinary creatures."

Ning Qi suddenly realized:

"In other words, the actual source of your power is still your bloodline and that magical ritual?"

Lan Yiyi nodded and said:

"That's right. Some tribes have done experiments on people from Da Yan. Even after the rituals were performed, they couldn't awaken their natal Gu. Even after intermarriage, even if they had half of the Southern Xinjiang bloodline, it wouldn't work. Only pure-blooded Southern Xinjiang people could do it. Therefore, people from Southern Xinjiang never intermarry with outsiders."

Qin Yun looked slightly stunned.

Ning Qi was even more curious.

He had a feeling that this baptism ceremony was more like praying for the gift of power from some powerful being.

Lan Yiyi continued:

"However, in recent years, for some reason, the Natal Gu that appeared in the Nanjiang tribes have become weaker and weaker. There are rarely any powerful Natal Gu. Moreover, the later the warriors are, the smaller the role of the Natal Gu is. In fact, most of the Natal Gu only have a supporting role."

"Comparatively speaking, I think martial arts is the true path to heaven."

"If you are interested, I can teach you the secret baptism technique of Southern Xinjiang."

Now these things are not important to Lan Yiyi. Almost all the top powerful people in Southern Xinjiang died in internal strife and at the hands of Ning Qi, and the rest can't cause any trouble. She doesn't even have any interest in caring about those remnants.

Ning Qi smiled and nodded.

He was indeed very interested and planned to study it when he had time in the future.

In his opinion, the blood of the southern Xinjiang tribes is just a medium to start the baptism ceremony, and perhaps other methods can replace it.

Then, Ning Qi asked another question in his mind:

"Do you know where the secret technique that the Gu God taught you came from?"

According to his feeling, with the background of Gu God, he should not know such secret techniques. He can actually use the method of blood inheritance to perfect the Gengjin spirit body, and Gu God obviously knows a lot of information about the ancient saints.

He always felt that there was something fishy going on.
