Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 885
Chapter 885
On one of the other four paths, a woman was standing alone at the peak of a mountain . This was the Northern Source’s trial path .
The mountain beneath her feet was covered in ice . A verdant forest had originally been here, but it was now a land of ice .
Snow constantly circulated around her . She was grand and beautiful, like a goddess of ice .
Her eyes suddenly opened . Those pupils were icy-cold, but within that iciness, a trace of warmth appeared .
“It’s him . ”
She looked in a certain direction, her gaze seeming to be able to pierce through space . A face appeared in her mind, one that was a bit naughty, but one that was extremely warm when it smiled .
“Senior apprentice-sister Zhiqiu, the spiritual qi has reached its peak! You can advance to Sea Expansion now!” shouted a distant woman wearing the same white robes as her .
“Alright . You can go too . The Immortal Condensing Pillarss have benefits and drawbacks . Don’t force yourself . ” Ye Zhiqiu nodded, looking into the distance . She once more closed her eyes . Snow began to dance around her, and an icy aura soared into the sky .
…
Hearing lord Heaveneye’s words, Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian opened their eyes . Looking at each other, Yue Xiaoqian asked, “Together?”
Long Chen shook his head . “No, you can go first . ”
Yue Xiaoqian nodded and closed her eyes . Her aura began to surge, as if a peaceful lake was starting to boil . It grew more and more intense, until her aura was raging against the sky .
Long Chen stared closely . He wanted to see how others advanced to Sea Expansion .
Yue Xiaoqian’s aura was growing stronger and stronger, with everything within a hundred miles trembling from it .
An illusory sea appeared behind her . It was five miles wide . The spiritual qi around her was pouring into it .
“Heavens, it’s already so big at the start! Once she steps into Sea Expansion, won’t it be enough to frighten someone to death?” The Sea Expansion experts were all shocked .
The initial sea of a Sea Expansion expert was normally only three hundred meters . Fifteen hundred meters would make someone a genius . But even geniuses couldn’t compare to Yue Xiaoqian’s initial sea .
This sea was a projection of her Dantian . As she used her Dantian’s power, its image automatically appeared before her . The initial sea and her Dantian were linked . Their energy was the same .
Once the initial sea behind her formed, spiritual qi began to be absorbed faster and faster by it . It gradually grew larger, growing by the mile every breath .
“What speed!” The experts were startled again . Not only was her initial sea exceedingly large, but the speed at which it grew was many times faster than others .
Yue Xiaoqian’s body began to automatically float in the air . The more her initial sea grew, the higher she floated . In less than an incense stick’s worth of time, her initial sea was already thirty miles wide . The powerful fluctuations were constantly causing ripples in space .
But once it reached that size, the speed at which it grew clearly lowered . Or perhaps it was just too big, and so any increase in size seemed insignificant .
Through the aboriginals’ shock, Long Chen was able to tell that this speed was amazing . But he was worried . He didn’t have a Dantian . How was he supposed to advance to Sea Expansion?
Thunder filled the air . Long Chen jumped, but when he looked up, he didn’t see any change in the weather .
“The Immemorial Path’s heavenly tribulations are linked . When nearby people undergo tribulation, it’s common for others to sense it,” explained lord Heaveneye .
Long Chen nodded . The Immemorial Path truly was strange . He didn’t know whether they would be disturbed because of others undergoing tribulation too close to them .
As if seeing through Long Chen’s thoughts, lord Heaveneye said, “You don’t need to worry . Although you can hear the thunder of their tribulations, in reality, they’re probably millions of miles away . It’s like swimming in an ocean . You don’t need to worry about the ripples from other people affecting you . Right now, she’s in the midst of fully forming her initial sea . Once it forms a resonance with her Dantian, her tribulation will fall .
“Although the Immortal Condensing Pillar does have an isolation effect, you might get affected by her tribulation . To be safe, you can temporarily leave . ”
These pillars on the Immortal Condensing Platform had runic formations . No matter who sat on them, they would feel a strange force field around them . Through that force field, their absorption of spiritual qi would increase, but the lightning tribulation would also grow stronger .
“It’s fine . I’ll stay right here . I can look after her like this . ” Long Chen smiled and declined his suggestion .
His refusal caused quite a few people’s eyes to turn a bit colder . Lord Heaveneye was like a god to them, and Long Chen was being disrespectful . But lord Heaveneye merely smiled slightly without the least bit of anger . He continued watching Yue Xiaoqian with everyone else .
As her initial sea continued to grow, Long Chen closed his eyes, seeing if he could enter that mysterious state again .
As he circulated the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, his soul relaxed, and he gradually felt that feeling of being able to see the entire world . But what he ‘saw’ was extremely indistinct . It was more like a sense, a kind of spiritual perception .
As his spiritual perception grew, he saw experts surrounded by lightning nearby . They were receiving the baptism of heavenly tribulation .
It seemed they didn’t have any experience and hadn’t timed it properly . They had begun their breakthrough before the spiritual qi had reached its greatest density . Now, they had already finished expanding their sea and were undergoing tribulation .
From the strength of their tribulations, it was possible to tell that their expanded seas weren’t very large . Otherwise, the tribulations wouldn’t be so weak .
His spiritual perception spread further . Long Chen sensed more and more people absorbing spiritual qi and attacking Sea Expansion .
Some were deep in the mountains, some were in the ruins, while some were sitting in the clouds . To sum it up, all the disciples that had entered the Immemorial Path were now attacking Sea Expansion .
“Excellent, this fellow should be Gu Yang . ” Long Chen sensed a familiar aura . He seemed to be able to see a dazzling bald head that could light up heaven and earth . Such a thing was probably something only Gu Yang possessed .
BOOM!
Suddenly, Long Chen was woken by a powerful pressure . He opened his eyes to see that Yue Xiaoqian’s initial sea had grown to a huge size of three thousand miles .
What he didn’t know was that in his empty state, he hadn’t felt the passing of time . Ten days had passed without him knowing .
Only now did he see that lord Heaveneye and the other aboriginals were thousands of miles away, still watching them . Seeing that huge qi sea, other than lord Heaveneye, everyone was astonished . This was a true sea .
“A qi sea of three thousand miles . Perhaps she has already reached the level of an immortal sprout from the immortal era,” gulped one elder .
The other experts were as astonished as him . They were under a curse here and were unable to rely on the sudden influx of spiritual qi to advance or cultivate . Such a huge initial sea was something they had only heard of in legends .
Lord Heaveneye shook his head . “The immortal sprout’s standard is to have a three-thousand-mile initial sea at the very beginning . She’s far from that requirement . But this huge qi sea of hers is truly startling . Although it can’t compare to those legendary immortal sprouts, her future prospects are unlimited . But this is just the start . The difficult part starts now . ”
Lord Heaveneye’s expression was slightly grave . The larger the initial sea, the stronger the heavenly tribulation . Those were the laws of the Heavenly Daos . That was why the Immortal Condensing Platform was a double-sided blade .
Yue Xiaoqian’s veil had been destroyed . She suddenly found that she was starting to lose control of her qi sea . She had been worried that she wouldn’t be able to expand her qi sea large enough, so she had gone all-out . However, now her qi sea had reached an immense size, such an immense size that it was out of her control .
She also knew what the concept of a three-thousand-mile initial sea meant . She was the first one to reach this level since the original devil race had declined . If she didn’t fall, she would become the strongest expert of the declined original devil race .
She was pale with terror now . She didn’t dare to call her initial sea back into her Dantian . Once she did, she would immediately be sensed by the Heavenly Daos, and her heavenly tribulation would fall upon her . Its power would be beyond her imagination .
“Don’t be afraid! If the heavens collapse, I’ll be there to help you hold them up!” A voice suddenly rang out . It wasn’t loud, but it filled her with warmth .
Yue Xiaoqian looked at Long Chen . He was still sitting on his pillar, a faint smile on his face . He gave her a victorious gesture .
For some unknown reason, seeing his smile made her terror lessen a great deal . Long Chen’s smile was full of confidence, confidence that increased her own confidence . Taking a deep breath, she slowly formed hand seals .
The qi sea behind her slowly calmed and began to surge into her Dantian . She began to glow, and her Heavenly Dao runes automatically appeared around her .
“An innate rank three Celestial’s Heavenly Dao runes . It’s unknown how much of the heavenly tribulation’s power they can block,” said one elder . It would be too regretful for such a genius to fall to heavenly tribulation .
As she drew her qi sea into her Dantian, everything was calm and steady . That showed how steady her heart was .
It took a full two hours for her huge qi sea to completely return to her Dantian . Once the last bit of power entered her body, a majestic aura surged into the sky .
Thunder filled the air . Boundless tribulation clouds condensed in the sky, covering an area of ten thousand miles . Everyone’s expressions turned pale as paper .
