Chapter 280: Chapter 201 Qi Refining Realm! Evil Qi! Add! [One more update!]_2

"From the Purifying World Bridge, absorbing Spiritual Energy, the True Qi you obtain is the most orthodox True Qi, without any hidden dangers,"

"It is said that before the eerie night fell, the world was abundant in Spiritual Energy, and the practice of Qi Refinement Realm was all orthodox True Qi."

"Should the True Qi be exhausted, one night of exercise could restore it to perfection, without the need to wait for the ’True Qi seed’ to recover on its own."

Lord Qingling said this, but he noticed Lin Yan’s brow slightly furrowed, showing a puzzled look.

"What confuses you?"

"To my knowledge, before the eerie nightfall, there seemed to be no cultivators in the world," said Lin Yan.

"Oh?" Lord Qingling looked puzzled.

"Before the eerie nightfall, cultivation in this world aimed for the peak of internal strength, the human limit, with no demons, no evil spirits, and none who took the path through martial arts," Lin Yan pondered and said.

"Furthermore, the Refining Essence Realm was also a path gradually opened by the ancestors of the Human Clan who strove for survival after the eerie night fell," he continued.

"What?"

Lord Qingling seemed stunned.

After a long pause, he finally spoke in a low voice, "From where do you source this era you speak of?"

"It is based on the conclusion reached by the present Human Clan who explored ancient ruins... according to the information from the Observatory, it is derived from an ancient site in the Residual Prison Mansion, which has now become a Blessed Land for the Human Clan!" Lin Yan replied in a low voice.

Lord Qingling fell silent, and then said, "In my understanding, before the eerie nightfall, the world was abundant in Spiritual Energy, Supernatural Being resided in the world, imparting teachings, and the strong thrived!"

"Later when the eerie night fell, the world’s Spiritual Energy turned peculiar, and since then, the path of cultivation has been fraught with dangers."

"The ancestors of the Human Clan lost control, burying an era, and since then, the path of cultivation has been severed."

"Later generations of Human Clan, in the eerie night, carved out a new path of cultivation!"

As Lord Qingling’s voice faded, the area fell eerily silent.

Lin Yan did not speak further, lost in contemplation.

"Such a huge discrepancy exists in the records before the eerie night?"

"Where is the mistake?" Lord Qingling rarely showed a look of bewilderment and murmured, "Perhaps... there is no mistake?"

"Does Lord Qingling have any clues?" Lin Yan, seeing this, asked aloud.

"Perhaps in the future, when you are powerful enough, the Old God will give you the answer," Lord Qingling thought for a moment and said, "I was born after the eerie nightfall, and all my knowledge may not be accurate, especially given my late misfortune, which might have affected this strand of my divine consciousness."

"Lord Qingling, do you have suspicions but cannot trust yourself, fearing you might mislead me?" Lin Yan suddenly understood and asked.

"I know a technique that can be used to deduce, but this slight remnant spirit, after an ominous sign, is certain to be flawed," Lord Qingling sighed and said.

"Besides, after deduction, this body is bound to dissipate; I still have more important tasks to accomplish..."

"Rather than seeking an inevitably inaccurate result, it would be better to use it for something practical," he continued.

"With this last power, I hope to protect you, and further your understanding of the Qi Refinement Realm."

——

Atop the Purifying World Bridge.

Lin Yan looked down and exhaled.

Lord Qingling, with a somewhat vacant look in his eyes, sighed.

"This Purifying World Bridge, refined by the sun and the moon, separates and elevates the two polarities."

"All the members of the Human Clan and the evil who died within this Blessed Land are sacrifices."

"They were transformed by the Purifying World Bridge, the turbid Qi sinking down, the clear Qi rising up."

"This is also a method of ’Spiritual Energy’ manufacturing," Lord Qingling explained.

"However, the acquisition of Spiritual Energy requires blood sacrifices and time..."

Lord Qingling looked over and said, "You alone have swallowed eighty percent of the Spiritual Energy, yet this is what has been accumulated over the past several decades."

Lin Yan nodded slightly: "Therefore, the path of the Purifying World Bridge is also unfeasible."

"Even if the Purifying World Bridge could massively strip away the foreign Qi and produce Spiritual Energy to aid your cultivation, what about when you are outside?" Lord Qingling slowly said.

"Fighting against others, your True Qi is exhausted; do you still need to return to the Purifying World Bridge to recover your True Qi?" Lin Yan sighed.

Using one’s own essence blood to create the original True Qi.

Unless the physical body is infinitely robust, a typical cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm would reach their limit after six cycles of refining essence into Qi, and nine cycles would be challenging.

And in combat, once True Qi is depleted, one essentially has to wait seven days, allowing the original True Qi to recover by itself.

Now it seems that even orthodox True Qi generally works this way.

"So in this world, one can only cultivate alien True Qi..."

Lin Yan sighed and said, "Only the ’Evil Qi’ in the world is infinite. By refining it into one’s own True Qi, one can always cultivate and increase one’s cultivation."

"After exhausting True Qi in a fight, one can also absorb the Evil Qi from the outside world, achieving Perfection overnight and recovering one’s peak strength."

"This era no longer tolerates pure Qi Refinement Realm."

Saying this, Lin Yan felt powerless and sighed, "Generations of ancestors have never perfected the Qi Refinement Realm. I’ve just entered this realm and always thought of finding a perfected path. Now, it seems like a foolish fantasy..."

Lord Qingling laughed and said, "In this world, it’s like being in a quagmire. Us living in this era, wishing to remain untainted by dust, how difficult is that?"

"I once sealed off the Blessed Land, isolated it from the outside world, and also fancied leaving behind a pure land."

"But the eerie night erodes, and eventually seeped in."

He lightly stroked his beard, somewhat sighing.

Lin Yan looked ahead and said, "The Human Clan struggles to survive in this world. Without the protection from the powerful, all are food for demons and evils."

"Being in this quagmire, although the Qi Refinement Realm harbors great risks, there is no choice but to consume the mud to grow and shield the younger generations from the storms."

"Even if future risks erupt and one is doomed to decay in darkness, before that decay, they too expended their lifetimes for the Human Clan."

Having said this, Lin Yan turned around, faced Lord Qingling, and bowed, "Then, I shall begin."

Lord Qingling nodded slightly.

Immediately, Lin Yan closed his eyes slightly.

Three Origin Qi Absorption Five Elements Refining Treasure Record, the cultivation technique activated.

He gestured with one hand, summoning a strand of Evil Qi from beneath the Five Elements Cleansing World Bridge, and absorbed it into his body.

A moment later, the technique reached Perfection, and it formed a strand of True Qi.

"How do you feel?" Lord Qingling asked.

"Alien True Qi."

Lin Yan channeled this strand of True Qi to his left eye.

Opening his eyes, he only felt a scary, flashing blue light.

While his right eye was normal True Qi, clearly distinct and pristine.

"The risks are significant. If the quantity of alien True Qi exceeds a thousand, it will start affecting one’s character," he said.

Lin Yan retracted the True Qi and exhaled, "The more there is, the greater the impact..."

He had over thirty strands of normal True Qi and over two hundred strands of standard True Qi.

But once the alien True Qi exceeded a thousand, it would initially affect him, and the more there was, the more it impacted him.

It was hard to imagine those who had undergone refining only a few times, achieved only a few strands of normal True Qi, to suppress their ’consciousness’; after reaching the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, they must endure significant daily impacts.

Between rationality and madness, enduring torment day and night!

If one could suppress it and remain calm, then they were like the Commander of High Willow City, still able to consider the grand scheme of the Human Clan.

If unable to suppress it, one might either undergo physical mutation, losing human form, or become mad, turning into a new demon or evil spirit.

"Unless necessary, do not use this technique to absorb alien Qi," he said.

Lin Yan exhaled and looked at Lord Qingling, "Next... perhaps I will have murderous intentions!"

"If I can’t suppress it, I’ll inform you in advance," Lord Qingling replied.

"Good!"

Lin Yan closed his eyes slightly, sensing his own Evil Qi.

Cultivation: Qi Refinement Realm (203/6480) +

Shortly after, Lin Yan’s cultivation level continuously increased!

A moment later, he opened his eyes, their intensity at an extreme.

Cultivation: Qi Refinement Realm (1304/6480) +

"Lord Qingling, I feel unsettled. It’s time for you to assist," he said.

"No worries, I can handle it!"

Evil Qi increased! Cultivation further increased!

At this moment, Lin Yan’s cultivation surged!

Until he opened his eyes, red as blood, he let out a low roar, gritting his teeth, "Lord Qingling, I feel like killing..."
