Chapter 508 - 332: The Path Forward: Forging True Essence with True Qi as a Guide (Part 2)
"The Penglai Immortal Technique? But that Immortal Technique seems incredibly difficult to cultivate. Since the Earth Immortals disappeared, you’re the first person from the Mortal World to master it."
Meng Qianyuan said.
"The Penglai Immortal Technique is indeed difficult to cultivate, but we don’t necessarily have to master it. The most important part of Cultivation is to see the essence behind the phenomenon. The essence of Biological Energy is to find a way for the body to rapidly generate it, a method to extract it, and a way to sense and command this power."
Ding Huiyuan said.
"That’s right. A large amount of Biological Energy dissipates between the birth and death of cells. And since cellular life and death is part of the body’s vital activities, theoretically, any vital activity should result in the expenditure of Biological Energy. Within these processes, we might find opportunities to extract it."
"The function of our organs, the stimulation of Divine Intent, the explosive force of our muscles, the circulation of Qi and blood, even the effects of the Life Magnetic Field..."
A thoughtful expression appeared on Zhou Qingchen’s face.
"The Life Magnetic Field is the key. All Secret Techniques use it, leveraging changes in the Life Magnetic Field to induce changes in the physical body. A powerful will, exceptional control over one’s body, and a deep understanding and mastery of the Life Magnetic Field—these are the prerequisites for wielding Biological Energy. This is also what was known as the ’Three Flowers’ of Essence, Qi, and Spirit."
Yi Beidou said.
"Life Magnetic Field, anciently known as Lifebound True Qi. Using the Life Magnetic Field as a guide to further unlock the body’s potential and thereby master Biological Energy... It reminds me of some novels. Purifying True Qi to condense True Essence."
Ding Huiyuan said, stroking his chin.
"There’s no need to make it all sound so mystical. Ancient Cultivators guarded their secrets jealously, shrouding every inheritance in mystery. This was partly due to the limitations of their era’s knowledge and partly to raise the barrier to entry. After all, resources were scarce back then. It was hard enough just to get a full meal. Another person in the same trade was like another enemy, so naturally, they had to be cautious and use cryptic language."
"But we live in a different age. We don’t need to do that. We should lay everything out clearly so everyone can understand the truth. The Life Magnetic Field is the Life Magnetic Field, not True Qi. Biological Energy is Biological Energy, not True Essence."
Yi Beidou said with a wave of his hand.
"That makes sense. We don’t need all that mystical stuff, and we certainly don’t need cryptic jargon to boost our own prestige. This trip to the Mediterranean Sea was absolutely worth it. It’s shown me a new path worth exploring."
Huang Tianhu exclaimed.
The group then resumed their discussion. Now that they had a clear direction, the conversation became quite profound. Everyone present was a genius at the pinnacle of their time, and bringing them together was bound to create some brilliant sparks of insight.
When the discussion grew heated, they would even circulate their Qi and blood on the spot, activating their Life Magnetic Fields. The entire stadium filled with radiant light, making it seem like an Immortal Realm.
"This is unbelievable. It’s like a gathering of Immortals."
Standing beside Director Liu of the Special Security Bureau for the Saudi Region, a young man watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but murmur under his breath.
"There are no Immortal Gods here, only people who are constantly growing stronger."
"In the future, our country will produce many more people like them, leading humanity into a new age."
"Remember, everything you’ve seen and heard today is top secret. Not a word can get out. Now, come with me. We’ll wait outside."
Director Liu said in a low, serious voice.
All the staff members withdrew from the stadium, leaving the entire space to Yi Beidou and the others.
Half a day passed quickly, and no one disturbed them. In reality, a crowd had gathered outside the stadium, including some high-ranking Saudi Arabian officials. They were all trying every means possible to get a meeting with Yi Beidou, hoping to win his favor.
But Director Liu refused every request for a meeting.
Normally, on someone else’s turf, Director Liu’s status would be completely unequal to these important Saudi figures. Yet, when he refused them, they didn’t show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction or anger.
Because he was conveying Yi Beidou’s wishes.
In the Mortal World today, how many people on Earth would dare to provoke this Demon Lord?
"Hm?"
Yi Beidou, who was in discussion with Zhou Qingchen and the others, suddenly froze. He turned his head to look in a specific direction, his gaze seemingly piercing through the stadium walls to perceive a certain presence, sensing its aura.
The others also sensed that something was amiss and stopped their discussion.
"This aura... as brilliant as heavenly might, as noble as one of the Deities. It’s as if this person is a vicar of the Gods on Earth. Who could this be?"
Meng Qianyuan said in a low, serious voice.
"A Divine Sealer."
Yi Beidou said.
"A Divine Sealer? We’ve fought against Celestial General-level experts from among the Divine Sealers before, but their auras were completely different from this person’s. They’re not on the same level at all."
Zhou Qingchen said, frowning.
"I suspect this person is the leader of one of the Five Divine Sealing Veins. He actually appeared during my battle with that Sleeper, but he only released his aura as a sort of greeting before leaving. It seems he doesn’t bear any ill will."
Yi Beidou said with a smile.
’The leader of one of the Five Divine Sealing Veins?’
’The so-called Celestial Monarch Level expert mentioned in the files, someone who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Sleepers?’
Everyone’s expression grew keen.
The God-Sealing Alliance was an incredibly mysterious organization with a long history. It seemed to hold countless ancient secrets and was bound by a set of what could only be described as rigid Oaths.
Furthermore, their Cultivation Route was vastly different from that of both the Ancient Ones and Mortal Martial Artists. Even the experts gathered here couldn’t truly comprehend the true essence and mysteries of their lineage.
The so-called "Fruit Position" was simply too inconceivable.
And now, having understood the terrifying power of the Sleepers, the group was even more curious about the Celestial Monarch Level experts within this organization who were said to be their equals.
If Yi Beidou hadn’t comprehended how to use Biological Energy, he likely wouldn’t have been a match for the East King. How could a Celestial Monarch-level being, without using any Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood, possibly contend with a Sleeper?
’Could they also use an Energy Transformation Method?’
’Perhaps this time we’ll get to witness the secret for ourselves.’
"Mr. Yi, I apologize for the intrusion. Might I have a moment of your time?"
Before the owner of the aura had even arrived, the magnetic field in the stadium began to vibrate, and a gentle voice echoed through the space.
"Since you’ve come, of course we should meet. I’ve long heard of the God-Sealing Alliance’s Celestial Monarch experts and have wanted to meet one for some time."
Yi Beidou replied.
Outside, Director Liu and his staff were still busy dealing with the various parties. Fortunately, after half a day, personnel from the Donghua embassy in Saudi Arabia arrived to help, somewhat relieving the pressure.
Everyone wanted to meet Yi Beidou, but no one succeeded. Then, while no one was paying attention, a figure easily slipped past all the surrounding security cordons and entered the stadium without a sound.
Yi Beidou and the others rose to their feet. They watched as a handsome, refined-looking young man from Asia walked slowly from the entrance, a gentle smile on his face.
"Mr. Yi, and everyone else, I have long heard of your great reputations. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Long Yichen, leader of the Dark Vine Organization, one of the Five Divine Sealing Veins. Of course, ’Dark Vine’ is merely a name born from the need to adapt to the modern Mortal World. Since you have all made contact with the hidden circle, you may call us by our ancient name."
"The Divine General Mansion."
