Chapter 156: Chapter 93: Recognizing the Greatness of the Universe, Still Feeling Compassion for the Vibrant Vegetation

He stared at the sprout, and after a short while, the sprout actually moved against the wind.

This is the power of Divine Soul Exorcism.

Xu Qing began to try to manipulate other objects with his Divine Soul.

After a round of attempts, Xu Qing concluded that he couldn’t directly control his own body with his Divine Soul. Besides, the power he possessed now for Divine Soul Exorcism was not great, currently only about the strength of a dozen or so pounds.

If it were to be focused on a Poison Needle.

Xu Qing’s thoughts stirred, and his Divine Soul intent attached to a Poison Needle on his finger, which then danced up and down at the whim of his Heart Intent.

Not long after, beads of sweat appeared on Xu Qing’s forehead.

"Divine Soul Exorcism, conducting precise control, consumes a considerable amount of Divine Soul Power."

His thoughts moved, and he cut his fingertip with his fingernail, a drop of fresh blood falling onto the Poison Needle.

Let’s try again!

After a while, Xu Qing detached his Divine Soul intent from the Poison Needle and thought to himself: "The blood that stained the pebbles released by the Three-tailed Black Fox last time was indeed its own. Objects that have been blood sacrificed with one’s own blood are easier to control with the Divine Soul, more precise, and the consumption of Divine Soul Power is also reduced."

He understood that if he were to regularly use his own blood to bless an object, over time, it would become a Magic Artifact that he had blood-refined.

Such a Magic Artifact would naturally have greater power, be more efficient, and easier to control.

But there is also a downside; a blood-sacrificed Magic Artifact is connected to the wielder’s spirit. If they encounter a Dao Skill master who wields Divine Skills, it could be used to harm the wielder’s spirit through the blood-sacrificed Magic Artifact.

Moreover, blood-sacrificing a Magic Artifact also consumes the essences of the physical body.

The body of the Three-tailed Black Fox is massive, filled with vigorous Qi-Blood, so it doesn’t mind this small expenditure.

Compared to the Three-tailed Black Fox, Xu Qing’s physical size was far too small, so doing this could affect his Cultivation progress to some extent.

"I still lack the relevant professional knowledge, for now, I can only feel my way across the river by groping the stones." Xu Qing sighed inwardly.

Now he actually found himself hoping that the Great Elder of the Lotus Sect would arrive sooner so that he could take him down and burst some equipment and Secret Manuals.

Look at Elder Tang, all important things are carried with him.

Hopefully, the Great Elder of the Lotus Sect has also developed this good habit.

Xu Qing ridiculed himself inwardly, but his face showed indescribable joy.

He returned to the study and mounted "Having grasped the great universe, still fond of the greenery of grasses and trees" as a scroll in his study. These lines were already imbued with charm and could be said to have real artistic value.

If it were a Divine Soul Expert, they could even gain a bit of understanding of the "Dao" from it.

Alas, that state of "Unity of Heaven and Man" from last night was something that cannot be sought after at will.

He didn’t know when he would be able to enter that state of epiphany again.

In that state, his progress was much faster than that in the Absolute Focus state. However, Absolute Focus could be initiated at any time, and in the long run, was far more meaningful than the occasional epiphany.

Sunlight poured in from outside, and Xu Qing stirred inside, visualizing the Yaksha King.

This time, the Yaksha King was much stronger than before.

This showed that even without sufficient evil thoughts nourishing it, as long as Xu Qing’s Divine Soul made a major breakthrough, the Yaksha King would also rise with the tide.

He commanded the Yaksha King into the sunlight.

More and more sunlight gathered onto the Yaksha King, and Xu Qing felt an extremely scorching breath. More accurately, a flame-like light and shadow appeared.

He threw out a piece of white paper, and after a short while, the paper turned yellowish-brown.

"It seems the Yaksha King can now gather sunlight during the day to increase its lethality, but it has not yet reached the point of directly condensing flames."

"If there was a fire nearby." With a thought in his mind, Xu Qing took the opportunity to try, as the courtyard was equipped with firewood and a fire rack.

"Fire is born from wood, and if there is no fuel, it quickly extinguishes. However, the strength of the Yaksha King’s Exorcism is still not as good as my own Divine Soul, so it can only manipulate small pieces of wood. Luckily, it doesn’t fear burning, and at a critical moment, it could come in handy to play tricks and frighten people..."

Xu Qing had just begun to "Exorcism" and needed various attempts to develop skills.

Even like a child with a new toy, he was engrossed in endless fun.

Especially when he wore the Black Fox Robe, with objects like burning firewood floating around him... he looked every bit like a Black Wizard.

Xu Qing seemed to return to his childhood, sincerely feeling the joy brought about by Divine Soul Exorcism.

Now that New Year’s Eve was approaching, relying on his own abilities, Xu Qing has forcefully conjured up a bit of the holiday spirit for himself.

He even folded a paper airplane and guided it with his Divine Soul intent, making it fly around the yard.

"Fun." Xu Qing’s face rarely revealed a childlike playfulness.

After all, this body would only be fifteen years old on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Still a youth, indeed.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also known as the Heavenly Official Festival, the birthday of the Heavenly Official Emperor. In Taoist mythology, the Heavenly Official Emperor controls the fortunes of the human world and bestows blessings on Earth on the day of the Heavenly Official Festival.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Official Emperor’s full title in Taoism is — "The Great Emperor of the Ziwei Emperor who is the Highest Rank First Rank, Nine Qi, Bestowing Blessings, Luminous Origin Yang."

This exactly corresponds to Xu Qing’s Ziwei Star Fate Chart.

Since his rebirth in Jiangning Prefecture, he has been doing things that control the fortunes of the human world.

There is somewhat of a mystical connection.

"Even if I were the Ziwei Emperor incarnate, without power, no one would recognize it." Xu Qing came by the ancient well in the courtyard, his right hand clenched into a fist, lowering his waist and dropping his elbow, stepping forward halfway.

At this moment, Xu Qing’s spine began to tremble, driving the bones and muscles attached to it, while his hair exploded as if electrically shocked.

His entire body’s Qi-Blood boiled, and Strength Force gathered in his right hand that was preparing to punch.

When Xu Qing concentrated all his Strength Force into this Beng Fist, the pores on his fist relaxed, and Strength Force gushed out like a flood breaking through a dam.

Boom!

The edges of the well, encased in thick ice, were blasted with flying stone and ice chips, soon revealing a deep indentation with numerous tiny puncture holes.

Such astounding destructive power even surprised Xu Qing.

And his fist was still unscathed.

"Is this the power that comes from combining Dark Strength with Beng Fist?"

Xu Qing felt that now, even if a tiger that dominated the forests stood before him, he could kill it with his bare hands.
