Chapter 235: Chapter 123 Heavenly General Great Divine Power: Nine Breaths Qi Absorption_1
The development of the situation played out exactly as Shen Yuan had predicted.
The River Ji Dragon Palace had lost its proud divine authority, the position of the Dragon Sovereign, and its inability to appear in the world for a long time would inevitably greatly weaken its influence in River Ji.
Importantly, the creatures of the Aquatic Tribe were no longer restricted by the River Ji Dragon Palace, and those gods of the waters might instead become the source of chaos for the palace.
Under such circumstances, true dragons like Ao Yu, who presided over the River Ji Dragon Palace, were too busy to think about suppressing the news about the beheading of the Dragon Sovereign.
Even if the True Dragons inside the River Ji Dragon Palace were to issue an order, whether the aquatic creatures outside would be willing to execute it would be another matter.
Note that it is not difficult for the Aquatic Tribe to achieve the lowest-level status of wandering deities, but to become a Desolate God requires the worship of the Human Clan.
Under such circumstances, those of the Aquatic Tribe who wish to ascend to the position of local deities would not have had the time to court the Human Clan, let alone initiate a massacre and block the news for an order from the River Ji Dragon Palace.
If there were to be a disruption from the Aquatic Tribe, the first ones to act might be those local deities of the Aquatic Tribe who were vying for the position of Dragon Sovereign.
By suppressing the chaos of the Aquatic Tribe and then protecting the water territories, they could easily enjoy the benefits of worship, and gradually expand their influence to accumulate foundations for the competition for the Dragon Sovereign’s position.
And this was precisely what Shen Yuan wanted to see.
The chaos of the Aquatic Tribe was not something that could be solved by killing any individual being.
If there were members of the Aquatic Tribe causing trouble, then let more of them see the benefits of maintaining order.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the local deities of the Aquatic Tribe deliberately turn a blind eye to the tyrannical acts of their subordinate demons, and then put on a show of suppressing the Aquatic Tribe and quelling the chaos.
The supervision of such matters would have to be handed over to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.
But regardless, the root of the chaos of the Aquatic Tribe had been resolved, and Shen Yuan had gained an unexpected Heavenly General Great Divine Power.
Standing high above and receiving the worship of countless beings of the Aquatic Tribe, Shen Yuan hurriedly opened the related information on the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power.
Nine Breaths Qi Absorption (18th among the Heavenly Generals): The source of all elemental Qi refining methods. All things in the world gather and take form, and when dispersed, they become elemental Qi. Inhale and exhale the primordial Elemental Qi, fuse the rules of heaven and earth to generate myriad types of Elemental Qi of heaven and earth…
(Inadequate stage, cannot be manifested)
The 18th position among the Heavenly General Great Divine Powers, the source of refining Elemental Qi!
Shen Yuan felt a jolt in his spirit. Despite his previous speculation about the Heavenly General Divine Powers, the sight of this power still made him feel moved.
The method of refining Elemental Qi is one of the oldest cultivation methods in the world, and also the cornerstone of the Four Steps of Immortality Ascension.
The stage of Qi training that Shen Yuan currently dwelled in had evolved from the ancient Elemental Qi refining method. Thus, all cultivators in the world have experienced the realm of Qi refining.
In today’s Primal Chaos Realm, the majority of the cultivators follow the Four Steps of Immortality Ascension, and pure Qi refiners are rare. But this doesn’t mean that Qi refiners have been eliminated.
In the Ancient Era, the majority of immortals who ascended to the Upper World and reached the pinnacle were practitioners of the Elemental Qi refining method. Many of them are still alive today, holding high positions in the Heavenly Court.
Perhaps there is an Immortal, a Tianzun, among them in the Heavenly Court who originated from Qi refiners.
The mere fact of being the source of Elemental Qi refining method is proof of the high status of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power.
“This is a path that leads directly to the status of a celestial Immortal!”
Shen Yuan’s spirit was agitated, and he hurriedly continued to check the remaining detailed information.
He had just focused on the source of all Elemental Qi refining, and had not paid attention to the specific characteristics of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power.
And when Shen Yuan’s gaze swept over the line, “Inhale and exhale the primordial Elemental Qi, fusing the rules of Heaven and Earth to give birth to all kinds of Elemental Qi of Heaven and Earth”, he couldn’t help but tremble violently.
Inhale and exhale primordial Elemental Qi, what is primordial Elemental Qi?
Primordial Elemental Qi is the free elemental Qi between Heaven and Earth. The peak of Qi Transformation attracts primordial Elemental Qi into the body, opening a bridge to connect oneself with the primordial Elemental Qi and enter the Qi Training Stage.
However, after entering the Qi Training Stage, all cultivators without exception only use this primordial Elemental Qi to reinforce their spells and divine powers. The more primordial Elemental Qi they gather around themselves, the further they can go in the Qi Training Stage.
Even the Refining Qi to Spirit Transmutation only uses primordial Elemental Qi to purify the Divine Sense to achieve Yin God.
No one dares to regard the primordial Elemental Qi as spirit energy and refine it through inhalation and exhalation.
But the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power breaks this common knowledge and allows the master of the divine power to inhale and exhale the primordial Elemental Qi.
Imagine, if the Primordial Elemental Qi was allowed to fill the body and combine with mana, there would no longer be any need to depend on the external free Primordial Elemental Qi between heaven and earth when using it, and the power of Divine Skills could be multiplied.
The profundity contained within this is definitely not just such. What Shen Yuan saw before his eyes was just the most superficial characteristics.
What truly caught Shen Yuan’s attention was the last sentence – “Melding with the rules of heaven and earth to develop myriad Qi of heaven and earth.”
Everyone knows that the Qi of heaven and earth is nurtured by the world itself, even if there are techniques that involve the Qi of heaven and earth, they are at most refining, not nurturing.
Melding world rules within Primordial Elemental Qi, developing myriad Qi of heaven and earth, this almost breaks the rules of the present world.
This means, Shen Yuan would no longer be constrained by the world’s resources and various heavenly treasures, he could rely on different world rules to develop his own Qi of heaven and earth.
This includes Qi of heaven and earth that already exists in the world, or never appeared in the world, completely created by Shen Yuan himself.
As for obtaining the world rules needed to infuse into the Primordial Elemental Qi, there are many sources.
The Perceptions of the Heaven and Earth Dao by the strong, the Divine Skills when cultivation reaches its peak, powerful treasures, valuable spirit objects, they could all generate world rules, not limited to any physical form.
As long as Shen Yuan is willing to pay the price, there will inevitably be gains, at least compared to the priceless Qi of heaven and earth, obtaining some treasures containing world rules isn’t a difficult task.
Shen Yuan had already witnessed the power of Zhuming Chengye and Central World Qi, mastering any one of them would allow him to easily dominate his peers.
If he could develop Central World Qi, Shen Yuan’s strength would certainly be greatly enhanced.
If he could go a step further, develop Qi like that of the Great Sun’s True Flames, one of the pinnacle Qi of heaven and earth, Shen Yuan even had the confidence to face the Spirit Refining True Being.
All these are just a part of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, Shen Yuan, with his insufficient understanding of the Divine Skills, couldn’t grasp more information.
Later on, with the development after refining the Divine Capacity Seed, the Nine Breaths Great Power would certainly have more Dao mysteries.
Actually, looking at the characteristics of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power he roughly understood now, it seemed far less shocking compared to the Rain Calling Divine Ability that could transform the Waters of the Heavenly River and turn them into the marshes of a thousand miles in a blink.
But Shen Yuan understood that it was because the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power was not a type of offensive Divine Power, its characteristics tended more towards a cultivation technique, so naturally, it was far from being compared with offensive spells like the Rain Calling Divine Ability.
Moreover, the Rain Calling Divine Ability was a successor of the Heavenly General’s fifth Great Divine Power, the Wind Summoning and Rain Invocation, so there was definitely a certain gap when compared to the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power.
But looking at Shen Yuan’s needs now, the Rain Calling Divine Ability, which was greatly constrained by the Heavenly General’s laws, was far less than that of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power that could assist Shen Yuan in cultivation, accumulating strength.
After briefly collating the characteristics of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but softly praised:
“Indeed the Heavenly General Great Divine Power!”
However, Shen Yuan didn’t choose to directly receive the Divine Capacity Seed of the Nine Breaths in front of everyone.
When dealing with a complete Heavenly General Divine Power, or the source of all kinds of Refining Elemental Qi methods like Nine Breaths, Shen Yuan still decided to proceed cautiously and wait until he returned to the Courtyard Secret Realm before accepting it.
In regards to his gains from this trip, Shen Yuan was naturally ecstatic. However, one thing that concerned him was the trigger for this hidden mission.
“Speak strictly, the last time I obtained the Rain Calling Divine Ability was an accident, and this is my first time truly triggering a hidden task related to the Heavenly General Divine Power.
Upon careful thought, I did nothing but return the god-initiation in the River Ji Dragon Seal to the world, and gave all living beings the opportunity to become the River Ji Dragon Sovereign through the Gods Purging Divine Power.
Is that all it takes to complete a hidden task at the level of the Heavenly General Divine Power?”
“Don’t mention just one River Ji Dragon Seal, even ten River Ji Dragon Seals can’t compare to the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, the source of all kinds of Elemental Qi refining methods.”
Shen Yuan had doubts rising in his heart. Finally, he looked at one line from the system prompt.
“Also, the Jade Emperor of Heaven and the Four Great Emperors did not oppose!”
Shen Yuan’s eyes grew even more deep-set.
“The key could be in this line.
The Jade Emperor in Heaven and the Four Great Emperors did not oppose, is it because the Great Schism has severed the contact with the Upper World, or is it saying…”
Suddenly, the flame transformed by the Divine Capacity Seed of Gods Purging in his chest swayed as if it was about to go out, and the grand line of sight in the dark seemed to be falling on him.
Shen Yuan only felt a chill run down his back and quickly withdrew his thoughts, not daring to think any more.
