Chapter 197: The bamboo shadows sweep the dust on the steps but it remains undisturbed; the moon traverses the bottom of the pond leaving no trace. _2
Upon sensing Harlon's constraints, Ji Jingqiu also lost the will to continue the fight, thus ending it.
Although hasty, it gave him a complete concept of a Chains Realm Martial Artist.
A Chains Realm Martial Artist, upon unlocking human chains, ignites their blood energy, nurtures Divine Skills...
Just the act of igniting blood energy alone grants them a qualitative leap in physicality, and they are constantly strengthening, as long as their Life Origin can withstand it.
The stronger one's own Life Origin, the greater the enhancement in this realm.
According to Ji Jingqiu's knowledge, the strongest Chains Realm Martial Artist in the Federation, after several transformations, underwent extraordinary evolutionary changes in his organs, blood vessels, muscles, and bones, capable of withstanding various cosmic radiations with his physical body alone.
Although Ji Jingqiu had opened the first layer of Divine Storage, his physical body was still inferior compared to Harlon.
However, for Ji Jingqiu, who had just broken through to the Divine Travel Realm, it was actually just the beginning.
For him, the breakthrough into the Divine Travel Realm didn't bring much enhancement itself, the real significance was that it unlocked certain shackles, removing the ceiling on his combat power.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to leave this place but planned to spend some time, especially since a few Divine Travel Realm Secret Techniques needed verification, and also the refining of previously accommodated Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism.
These steps were all concrete enhancements to combat strength.
"Thank you, Lord, for bestowing the Divine Seed!"
"Lord, we will never forget your life-saving grace!"
After Ji Jingqiu bestowed a few strands of lamp wick seed, the originally faltering Inner Worlds of several Devil Descendants stabilized effectively, all overwhelmed with gratitude.
Seeing this, other tribesmen even envied these few for their fortune in disaster.
Looking at these guys, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but want to shout out, "Don't worry, everyone has it."
After informing Harlon of his intention to retreat, he returned to the cave.
The Nourishing Spirit Pool was nearly depleted by him, with the remainder serving as a "primer" to continue accumulating new Source Qi.
He sat cross-legged, organized his thoughts, determined the sequence, and then began to operate the Spiritual Image Skills from the Dragon Tiger Dojo.
This method allows the Imagined Creation to manifest in the mortal world.
The Spiritual Image formed by the Spiritual Image Skills lies between illusion and reality; its essence is still the combination of Dharma and the mind, with the most crucial point being a hint of Divine Intent in Imagined Creation.
Inside the Inner World.
Fatty Hu lay sprawled underneath the Bodhi Tree, snoring without a worry in the world, leisurely and carefree, making Ji Jingqiu rather envious.
Now this guy had stopped sharpening his knife, and with the Pure Land expanded many times over, he usually bounced around the entire Pure Land with the Formless Wind.
Sometimes he would stroll through the bamboo grove, occasionally roaring at the dead fish by the Lotus Pond, and upon seeing the other party not daring to fight, he would swaggering roll back under the Bodhi Tree to sleep.
Since Hel "moved in," he occasionally wandered over to the side, tilting his head to watch this new neighbor with slight vigilance, feeling that this woman didn't seem like a good person.
As things continued to develop, Ji Jingqiu felt that this guy would sooner or later become a "street wanderer."
Following the operations method of the Spiritual Image Skills, he first condensed and constructed a Spiritual Image of Fatty Hu.
A moment later.
Fatty Hu rolled over, mouth agape, suddenly feeling something was amiss, blankly opened his eyes, and realized the Bodhi Tree above him had disappeared, replaced by a strange environment.
It rolled over and stood up, its eyes filled with confusion, and upon seeing Ji Jingqiu, it breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it had been poisoned by the bad woman.
It moved its small paws, foolishly ran toward Ji Jingqiu, and burrowed into his embrace.
Ji Jingqiu smacked its head irritably: "Transform into a larger size, or what's the point of summoning you?"
No other reason, definitely not because in the Dragon Tiger Dojo other people's Spiritual Image Skills condensed intimidating Charging Tigers wielding blades, and certainly not out of dislike.
Fatty Hu shook its body, tilted its head in thought for a tiger's moment, and finally remembered how to "transform."
Along with a surge of blood flames, a vast and fierce Blood Tiger appeared before him, its body covered in blood-red patterns like flowing magma. When it appeared, the entire cave's daylight dimmed, casting an indescribable stillness.
It quietly crouched beside Ji Jingqiu, its eyes deep, sweeping away the previous clarity, turning cold and wild, with a faint mist of blood enveloping its body.
"Quite a change in style..."
Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself, reached out to scratch under Fatty Hu's chin, its very quiet demeanor making him feel like his child had suddenly grown up, from noisy days to peaceful silence, oddly uncomfortable.
Afterward, Ji Jingqiu tried to condense the Spiritual Images of the dead fish and the Formless Wind.
The former suddenly dehydrated, appearing in the True Realm, instantly performing a splash on the ground, causing Ji Jingqiu's face to turn black on the spot.
So, when this guy showed its true body, Ji Jingqiu didn't send it back to continue slacking off, telling it to stay outside in the future if there's nothing else.
This guy pathetically transmitted its consciousness to him, asserting that the pond water was quite beneficial to its growth, prompting Ji Jingqiu to let it return, but emphasized that if it plays dead again, it would "end up in the pot."
Still, it was the Formless Wind that comforted him the most, gently blowing his hair, curling around his fingers, appearing very well-behaved.
After testing one by one, Ji Jingqiu confirmed that the battle capability of the Spiritual Images was limited for now, but they held promise for the future.
Like the Dragon Spirit shown by Qingyang Ancestor before, which could even reach the combat power of a Heavenly Person when necessary.
