Chapter 211: The Power of 5-Colored Spiritual Power! Terrifying Consumption! _2
"If this doesn't succeed after practice, then it must be incredibly foolish."
As he spoke, it was as though he remembered something and glanced at Xian Banmeng, whose expression had darkened slightly, and awkwardly said:
"Sorry, I wasn't talking about your calligraphy practice."
It's better to not say anything, but upon hearing this, Xian Banmeng clenched her little fists, with three black lines on her forehead.
"This is only the first step!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "After the Qi vortex forms, you need to condense twelve vortexes, reverse their arrangement according to the Secret Technique to form a swirl."
"The swirl rotates, producing tremendous suction to quickly absorb external spiritual power..."
Su Changqing listened while recalling the records in the ancient books, his eyes flashing with a look of enlightenment.
He continuously formed seals with his fingertips, and multicolored vortexes coalesced. In just a moment, twelve vortexes had fully emerged.
Afterward, the twelve vortexes arranged themselves in an unusual pattern, interweaving and colliding.
With a slight whistling sound of the wind, a rapidly spinning multicolored swirl appeared within Su Changqing's dantian.
Whir-whir-whir...
The slight sound of wind arose from the attic, and the rich spiritual qi within the Immortal Spirit Sect swiftly converged.
"This..."
Witnessing this scene, Xian Banmeng's mouth gaped in disbelief.
Su Changqing, as if oblivious to her reaction, had a deeper glint of understanding in his eyes, muttering to himself,
"The vortexes converging into a swirl increases suction tenfold, but what if the swirl is again superimposed, what then?"
This time, without Xian Banmeng's guidance, Su Changqing continuously formed seals with his fingertips, as vortexes appeared one after another.
And when yet another swirl coalesced and rushed into the first...
Boom!
The swirl instantly doubled, and the strong suction generated caused gusts of wind to howl outside.
The spiritual qi, which had already gathered quickly, now surged in such numbers that it became visible to the naked eye.
"The core of this Secret Technique... is it the superposition?"
A faint smile appeared on Su Changqing's face as he said, "I understand."
As the words fell, his fingertips danced swiftly, as vortex after vortex manifested and collided, beginning to continuously strengthen the swirl within himself.
"In such a short time, he... fully mastered the core of the Spirit-Devouring Technique?"
Xian Banmeng, standing to the side, was utterly amazed.
She knew Su Changqing had exceptional perception, but she hadn't anticipated he could be this frighteningly powerful.
She had merely given a few pointers, and yet Su Changqing himself had deduced the core principles?
"Am I really this stupid then?"
Recalling the powerless look in Su Changqing's eyes when he taught her calligraphy for the first time, Xian Banmeng couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake her head.
She had once fancy herself a genius, feeling she was progressing quickly.
But compared to Su Changqing... wait, there is simply no comparison.
"No wonder you're always calling me foolish. Is there anyone smart left in this world compared to you?"
Xian Banmeng was completely convinced.
Originally, she just wanted to enjoy being a teacher for once, but unexpectedly, she was humbled once again.
Although only a moment had passed, she understood a truth.
To be Su Changqing's teacher is the most fulfilling yet least fulfilling experience, right?
Boom!
While Xian Banmeng was lost in thought, a storm had already erupted around Su Changqing.
From above, a massive spiritual power vortex had gathered above the building at this location.
The spiritual power vortex spiraled downward like a dragon absorbing water, directly connecting to Su Changqing.
An overwhelming amount of spiritual qi poured down, making Su Changqing's aura visibly overwhelming.
Within Su Changqing's dantian, the swirl had already disappeared, replaced by a dragon tornado emitting multicolored light!
The multicolored dragon tornado emitted terrifying suction, devouring the ever-flowing spiritual power like a giant abyssal maw.
This Heaven and Earth spiritual qi once quickly transformed by the swirl turned into strands of delightful multicolored spiritual power, flowing through Su Changqing's meridians.
This violent influx of spiritual qi, if it were an ordinary person, would probably result in bursting within moments.
However, Su Changqing's spiritual source was too powerful, with the twelfth-grade green lotus spiritual source having qualities that are terrifyingly high.
If high-grade spiritual power requires ten strands of spiritual qi to transform into a single strand of spiritual power,
then a single strand of supreme spiritual power demands a hundred strands of spiritual qi, while an immaculate strand requires a thousand!
And for Su Changqing's spiritual source to transform a single strand of multicolored spiritual power, it requires tens of thousands of strands of spiritual qi to be condensed and converted!
This is the terrifying disparity in 'quality.'
The stronger the spiritual seed, the more resources it consumes.
For a spiritual source of this transcendent spiritual seed level like Su Changqing's, the required resources are staggering.
But similarly.
Though Su Changqing consumes many resources, the enhancement of his combat power is immensely terrifying.
For example, without considering factors like Secret Skill and Dao techniques.
Su Changqing manifests a strand of five-colored Spiritual Power, and even a genius with flawless spiritual seeds must use ten times the Spiritual Power to counteract it!
This is a naturally vast difference.
At least before the King realm, the strength of Spiritual Power directly correlates with the strength of combat power.
Especially in the Divine Aspect realm, the quality of the Divine Aspect is ultimately determined by the level of Spiritual Power used to construct it.
"If I were to cultivate to the peak of the Spirit realm, how many resources would it consume?"
For the first time feeling directly the terror of spiritual sources, Su Changqing couldn't help but have a headache.
His Spiritrealm cultivation differs from ordinary practice, requiring the fusion of apertures.
Only when Spiritual Power fully fills the first aperture can it be used to devour the second aperture.
In other words, he needs to fill 365 apertures completely to reach the peak of the Spirit realm.
Su Changqing glanced at the Dantian aperture, which had barely filled three-tenths of the five-colored Spiritual Power, then looked at the frightening storm of Spiritual Qi outside, falling silent.
In such a place rich with Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Spirit Sect, aided by the Great Emperor's Secret Technique, the Spirit-Devouring Technique.
Yet even after all this time, his first Dantian aperture is only filled to three-tenths...
Su Changqing could almost foresee that in the coming days, he might have to scramble for resources.
...
However.
Just as Su Changqing was slightly worried about future resources.
In the attic, Xian Banmeng was too shocked to speak as she watched the enormous vortex of Spiritual Qi outside.
Such an exaggerated cultivation scene, she had never seen it in her life.
Hiss!
Also at this moment, Xian Fu's figure suddenly appeared beside Xian Banmeng.
She looked at Su Changqing, who was at the center of the Spiritual Qi vortex, with her mouth slightly twitching, her eyelids fluttering.
"He's using... the Spirit-Devouring Technique?"
"Yes..."
"When did he practice? He's so proficient, how many times must the vortex have been superimposed to achieve this?"
"Just practiced today... I taught him myself."
Xian Fu stiffly turned her head to look at Xian Banmeng, thinking she might have heard wrong.
The first time practicing the Spirit-Devouring Technique, achieving such a level?
And taught by Meng'er personally?
"Mother..."
Xian Banmeng looked at Xian Fu, puzzled, and said: "I don't understand why Chang Qing's vortex can gather to this extent?"
She also practiced the Heaven-Devouring Technique, but she felt far from what Su Changqing achieved.
"His Spiritual Power is incredibly strong, not just ordinarily strong."
Xian Fu glanced at Su Changqing's Dantian, her eyes flashing with seriousness, "Even your flawless Spiritual Power pales in comparison."
Xian Banmeng inhaled sharply at those words.
The strongest flawless spiritual seed in the world, yet still far inferior to that five-colored Spiritual Power?
What level must Su Changqing's spiritual seed be?
"His spiritual seed is exceptionally unique, extremely compatible with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, transforming it at a very fast rate."
"Moreover, Chang Qing's physique... is too powerful."
Xian Fu couldn't help but marvel, "Within the same realm, his physical body nearly surpasses the limit, capable of enduring tremendous pressure."
"That's also why, despite such a large infusion of Spiritual Power, he hasn't been overwhelmed."
She paused, then remarked with feeling:
"The extremely rapid conversion of special Spiritual Power, supplemented by an extraordinarily strong physical body, and combined with the Spirit-Devouring Technique's characteristics..."
"All these factors together make Chang Qing's spiritual consumption rate so terrifying."
"Additionally, as his strength grows, the Spirit-Devouring Technique might in his hands, break through the limits set by its creator."
Xian Banmeng looked at Su Changqing with astonishment after hearing that.
Breaking through the limits of its creator? Wouldn't that mean surpassing the Immortal Spirit Emperor?
"This is truly a supreme talent..."
Xian Banmeng stared at Su Changqing for a long time before finally expressing emotion.
"Even a supreme talent can find difficulty in overcoming the beauty's obstacle."
Xian Fu blinked and laughed lightly, "Capturing little Chang Qing, you'd become the next Empress!"
"Compared to being an Empress..."
Xian Banmeng's beautiful eyes looked at Su Changqing, her exquisite face bearing a smile:
"I want more for him!"
