Chapter 116: Chapter 113 Black Heaven Book Successful Completion

In the secret chamber of the villa outside Divine Capital, Qing Yu sat cross-legged on a straw mat, his eyes closed, breathing rhythmically. His face sometimes twisted into a horrifying grimace and sometimes appeared blissful as if he had reached Pure Land, presenting a truly bizarre spectacle.

After receiving the task from Lu Qifeng, Qing Yu pondered repeatedly on how to preserve the way. It was necessary to simulate the "Vast Righteous Qi" in front of several Confucian elders, and surely it was not acceptable just because Lu Qifeng said he couldn’t recognize it. After all, Lu Qifeng was not an expert in cultivating "Vast Righteous Qi" from the Confucian sect.

Lu Qifeng, a layman in Confucian martial arts, making such a statement truly could not set Qing Yu’s mind at ease.

Thus, with such unease, Qing Yu initiated a method he had long pondered—a method to cultivate the "Black Heaven Book."

In "Canghai," when Lu Jian and Ning Ning, acting as master and servant to each other, experienced their own "Black Sky Tribulation," they transferred Tribulation Power transformed into True Qi into each other’s bodies, miraculously resolving the "Black Sky Tribulation" so that it would never occur again.

When Qing Yu acquired the "Black Heaven Book," he thought of using this method to cultivate the "Black Heaven Book"; however, upon reflection, it seemed somewhat unreliable.

This method ultimately involved using others’ True Qi to build the foundation for his own "Black Heaven Book." Qing Yu really distrusted this insecure method; after all, others’ True Qi could hardly be as reliable as that cultivated independently.

Because of this thought, Qing Yu started looking for ways to use his own True Qi as the foundation, making himself his own Tribulation Master, to cultivate the "Black Heaven Book" safely and without mishap.

Then, as he researched the literature of the Yin Yang Family recently, Qing Yu gradually found a solution. The core idea of the Yin Yang Family involved the opposition and mutual transformation of Yin and Yang. This concept bore a great resemblance to the relationship between Tribulation Power and Inner Strength, Visible Meridians, and Hidden Meridians.

Visible Meridians and Hidden Meridians were interrelated yet interconnected. Tribulation Power could transform into Inner Strength and also absorb a Tribulation Master’s Inner Strength to compensate for the borrowed Tribulation Power, safeguarding oneself from the "Black Sky Tribulation." Isn’t this the essence of opposition and complementarity?

Moreover, Lu Jian and Ning Ning, acting as master and servant, marked each other’s Tribulation Power. In their mutual transformations, conflicts supplemented each other, erasing the mark of the Tribulation Slave and completing themselves with the foundational loss of others’ True Qi, reflecting the idea of Yin and Yang opposition transformation.

Having devised a plan, what remained was to implement it—through several experiments (on captured experimental subjects), Qing Yu finally mastered the method to resolve the "Black Sky Tribulation."

To be his own Tribulation Master or, in other words, to eliminate the marks of Tribulation Master and Tribulation Slave from the Tribulation Power during cultivation and control the Tribulation Power himself.

The cultivation of Hidden Meridians could not do without the supplement of True Qi. However, because Visible Meridians and Hidden Meridians were connected, the nature of Tribulation Power would be disrupted by the Inner Strength in the Visible Meridians, losing its miraculous ability to transform into any power. Even if Hidden Meridians were unblocked, it would be merely like unblocking a few thin meridians, unable to unleash the performance of Hidden Meridians as a separate set of meridians opposing the Visible Meridians.

Thus, cultivators of the "Black Heaven Book" initially had no Inner Strength, but without Inner Strength, one could not be one’s own Tribulation Master.

So, Qing Yu first had to identify the connection between Hidden Meridians and Visible Meridians (sacrificing several experimental subjects again), then temporarily sever the connection between Hidden Meridians and Visible Meridians using silver needles, making the Hidden Meridians independent, as if they were meridians within another body.

Next came the formal cultivation of the "Black Heaven Book." Fearing that a prolonged process might result in unforeseen circumstances, Qing Yu decided to unblock all Hidden Meridians at once, forming the Three Constellations and Twenty-Eight Stars in one go.

Then came continuous cycles of pain and itchiness, followed by comfort, experiencing both sensations repeatedly.

Until... one day, he achieved success.

Qing Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils void and boundless, seemingly encompassing everything. His gaze swept left and right, and the dim quiet room appeared as bright as day to him. Even the dust in the corners was visible to Qing Yu.

"Eye Divine Skills among the Five Divine Abilities, huh? Very good." Qing Yu was pleased with the Divine Skill he had acquired.

After cultivating the "Black Heaven Book," the obtained Divine Skills were divided into "Four Body Pass" and "Five Divine Abilities." "Four Body Pass" related to physical divine abilities, such as "Infinite Legs" and "Thousand Jin Ao." In contrast, "Five Divine Abilities" originated from the five senses, relying on and transcending the sensory organs, including "Pupil Sword" and "Void Eye."

In terms of power, "Four Body Pass" was initially stronger than "Five Divine Abilities," but in terms of mystical aspects, the "Five Divine Abilities" were unmatched by "Four Body Pass," like the "Void Eye’s Chaotic God Extreme Wisdom."

Of course, there was also the "neither physical nor divine" "Heavenly Repair Tribulation Hand," whose power and mystique were incredibly unpredictable, its power peerless. However, the perceptive ability of "Heavenly Repair Tribulation Hand" required physical contact and was less convenient than using eyes. As for offensive techniques, Qing Yu never found himself lacking.

"This way of looking at the world, it truly is unique." It was like a short-sighted person putting on glasses, removing the blurry veil before their eyes—revealing a clear and more real world, a distinct refreshing sensation.

He mobilized the Tribulation Power within his body to break through the blocked meridians, and each silver needle from various blocked locations flew back, shooting into the stone walls surrounding the quiet room.

Tribulation Power and True Qi continuously interchanged, like Yin and Yang forming Taiji, billowing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi being drawn from each acupoint. Under the combined operation of both sets of meridians, it was quickly absorbed, the speed more than doubling what it was before.

The consumed True Qi was immediately replenished, but Qing Yu, still somewhat dissatisfied, continued to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, filling up the empty Tribulation Sea. The "Black Heaven Book" could create a function similar to Dantian, belonging solely to Hidden Meridians, namely the Tribulation Sea.

After both Dantian and Tribulation Sea were replenished, Qing Yu brought his hands together in a virtual seal, True Qi as Yang, Tribulation Power as Yin, with the Tai Chi spinning between his palms.

"Yin Yang Hand Seal."

With a loud shout, countless black and white hand seals flew from his palms, overwhelmingly pressing forward.

"Bang, bang..." The stone gate of the quiet room cracked and shattered under this powerful move.

The Tai Chi diagram between Qing Yu’s palms did not dissipate but flew towards the cracked stone gate. As it traveled, it continuously rotated, absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and enlarging. By the time it reached the stone gate, it was almost larger than the gate itself.

"Boom—"

The sturdy stone gate was utterly destroyed by this powerful strike, revealing the bright daylight outside.

The consumed True Qi and Tribulation Power were quickly replenished by the absorbed Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and in just a moment, Qing Yu returned to his peak condition.

"Qi Dual Flow when both energies exert force simultaneously. This move, let’s call it ’Qi Dual Flow’ then. Hahaha..."

Accompanied by a triumphant laugh, Qing Yu stepped out of the quiet room he had shut himself in for many days.
