Chapter 242
Chapter 242 - The White Lotus
Through observing the process of the butterflies being born into the world, Shi Buyi came to realize the secrets of Atman Body As One. Zhong Yue also achieved the same thing, through observing the process of Chi Liannu evolving into a Jiao Dragon from a Chilian Snake.
The evolving of a snake into a dragon was the same as Atman Body As One, because both were applied onto the body, heightening the quality of the body, bestowing immense enhancements, and turning into a higher level life form!
The process of evolving into a dragon from a snake was about the same as the Atman Body level’s Atman Body As One, where both states turned the mortal body into a celestial body!
By now, she had shed her snakeskin. From her fiery red body dragon claws grew, and a dragon tail and scales sprouted as the Dragon Qi in her bloodline she had siphoned from Jiao Shanyuan started to alter her body structures and transform her into a higher life form!
Then, colorful dragon totem carvings flew out from her body, while long and slender Jiao Dragons danced around her.
From afar, Zhong Yue opened up his divine third eye and summoned his Yuan Shen, which then turned into the Six-Eyed Celestial Being that stood at his back.
The twenty foot Yuan Shen is too big! Smaller, smaller!
Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen then shrank to a size almost as tall as Zhong Yue.It stepped one step forward, merging itself with the body of Zhong Yue. Then, just like Chi Liannu, various totem carvings emerged from his body and started to restructure and alter his body.
Zhong Yue’s five great Yuan Shen secret realms then merged together with his organs; the Wan Xiang Secret Realm merged with his bone structure, the Shen Cai Secret Realm merged with his throat, heart, and umbilical, the Ying Yang Secret Realm merged with his eyes, and the Dao Yi Secret Realm merged with his brain.
His muscles then started to change along with the bones, Qi, blood, skin and other parts of his body. He actually became very similar to the Six-Eyed Celestial Being as his body was altered and enhanced!
Zhong Yue felt unbelievably strong energy surging within his body as a result of his five great secret realms merged with his physical form. They were bestowing the power of the five great secret realms to his body, which then allowed him to control the power of the five great secret realms with perfect synergy!
Other than that, as his body evolved into the celestial body, each time he waved his hands or moved his legs, he could easily cast all kinds of powerful skills easily, and he could utilize his strength to the fullest!
All because he had achieved the initial stage of the Atman Body level!
But Zhong Yue still felt that he would drop out of the Atman Body As One state anytime because of his currently unstable base.
Average Atman Body level Qi Practitioners could enlarge their bodies to twenty feet tall to match the size of their Yuan Shen, which was also about twenty feet tall, in order to obtain immense strength that was created when the five great secret realms’ power merged perfectly with the body.
Zhong Yue however, only managed to reduce his Yuan Shen to the size of his body, as it was still quite difficult for him to enlarge his body to match the size of his Yuan Shen. With that, he could only turn his Yuan Shen to fit the size of his body and therefore he could only maintain the Atman Body As One state for only a short and unstable period of time. He still had a long way to go after entering the Atman Body level.
Then, he slightly stimulated the Shen Cai Secret Realm, which caused his body to grow rapidly in an instant, increasing his size by one feet, two feet, three feet....
As his body grew, his Yuan Shen grew as well, and the Yuan Shen previously suppressed to fit the size of his body enlarged along with him.
When his body reached the size of twenty feet tall, he reached his limit. It was only now that Zhong Yue felt that the Shen Cai Secret Realm’s power was half depleted, as each time he grew by an inch, he would consume a portion of the energy in the Shen Cai Secret Realm.
The Shen Cai Secret Realm was the core of the transformation of the mortal body into the celestial body. If the energy in the Shen Cai Secret Realm was depleted, one’s body would revert to their original state immediately.
This was also why Atman Body level Qi Practitioners could not maintain this state for long, and they would only trigger this state when they needed to obtain power.
Such incredible strength…
Zhong Yue moved his arms and legs around, before he suddenly lost control of his power and his body shrank. The energy used to maintain the Atman Body As One state surged back into his Shen Cai Secret Realm and immediately Zhong Yue returned to his initial state and had his Yuan Shen kicked out from his body!
This was all because when he used his Wan Xiang Secret Realm’s power, he did not control it properly. The power of Wan Xiang clashed and created conflict with the other four secret realms, causing everything to fail.
However, he felt relieved when he did not drop back into the Awakening level. As long as he remained in the Atman Body level and got familiar with his new powers, he would be able to achieve the twenty foot tall body in no time!
Thank you for your help, senior martial sister Chi Lian. From now on, we will no longer cross paths again, thought Zhong Yue. He looked at Chi Liannu, who was still evolving, and left.
Right now, Chi Liannu was in the most crucial state of her evolution, but whenever she was about to evolve into a real dragon, she kept on failing and her body shattered before turning back into the Chilian Snake or a curvaceous naked lady.
“Hissss, a little bit more, just a little bit more and I will become a Jiao Dragon!”
As Zhong Yue was about to leave, the lady in the red poisonous mist shrieked and the silk gauze around the mountain suddenly moved, lunging towards Zhong Yue like a huge serpent!
“Junior martial brother Long Yue, I need just a little bit more help to turn into a Jiao Dragon, let me eat you and take your energy!”
Zhong Yue was shocked. When he tried to summon his Yuan Shen, the silk gauze landed on his forehead and a totem carving turned into a small shield before entering his psyche ocean, sealing it off!
With nothing left to be done, Zhong Yue was grabbed by the silk gauze and carried into the poison mist as he shouted, “Senior martial sister Chi Lian, have you forgotten our teacher’s words?”
Although he managed to enter the Atman Body level, Chi Liannu was a Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioner! How could Zhong Yue put up a fight against her?
Thus, Zhong Yue could only use Shi Buyi’s name as a last resort to stop Chi Liannu.
However, Chi Liannu posed alluringly and said seductively, “I can’t wait any longer... Please give it to me… I want more, more! I’m already on the verge of becoming a Jiao Dragon, and all I need is to eat you. Don’t worry, I will let you enjoy yourself to the fullest and you will be satisfied greatly…”
“Enjoy to the fullest?” Zhong Yue stared at her ferociously as he thought, You are the one who forced me to do this! I will use the forbidden technique taught to me by Xin Huo and we shall see who will die first!
At the same time, a gentle voice was suddenly heard saying, “So this is where senior martial sister is hiding! Senior martial sister has used up all your power during your evolution! Good, extremely good! Then I will be able to use little strength to defeat you and devour you!”
As soon as the voice was heard, both Chi Liannu and Zhong Yue had a shock. Then, Chi Liannu hurled Zhong Yue away while she screamed, “Lian Xin!”
Lian Xin could be seen descending from the cloud she was standing on and walking towards the mountain where Chi Liannu stood. The usually expressionless girl suddenly smiled and looked at Chi Liannu like one of her prey.
Lian Xin? What is she doing here?
As soon as the seal was lifted, Zhong Yue immediately visualized the Golden Crow Wings and flew up in the air as he surveyed the scene in shock.
After all, he was already planning to use the technique taught by Xin Huo to reverse siphon Chi Liannu’s power, he did not expect the arrival of Lian Xin!
Chi Liannu showed a serious expression, as she had used up most of her powers during the evolving process before she turned back into her original form, a huge fiery red Chilian Snake.
And the delicate and pretty Lian Xin too, suddenly turned back into her true form, a white serpent that was no weaker than the Chilian Snake, with various lotus totem carvings around her body!
Zhong Yue heart thumped and as he flew away, he thought, Lian Xin is also a snake!?
“Senior martial sister, I heard that you have siphoned Jiao Shanyuan and you have obtained the Qi of a Jiao Dragon. I also heard that you are preparing to evolve into a Jiao Dragon, so I thought that this might be a rare chance!”
Lian Xin then added, “So I thought that if I devoured you, I could steal the Dragon Qi from you so that I could become a Jiao Dragon, without risking myself to siphon a true Jiao Dragon!”
Zhong Yue flew away for a few dozen miles. When he looked backwards, he saw the white and red serpents were fighting ferociously on the mountains, shattering them, and causing the two serpents to fall into the poison mists!
“How did you know that I would hide here?” screamed Chi Liannu, who was losing the fight as she did have not much power left.
Lian Xin’s voice then could be heard replying arrogantly,“I knew that if the Dragon Qi you siphoned was not enough, you would definitely go for our little junior martial brother and siphon his Dragon Qi.
“So all I had to do was just follow him, and in the end, you really waited for him along his travelling route. You started your evolution here so that you could siphon little junior martial brother when you lacked the Dragon Qi!”
As soon as he heard this, Zhong Yue’s heart trembled. He had not known that there was such a hidden agenda behind the place where Chi Liannu chose to evolve!
After flying away for a few hundred miles, the two snakes flew into the skies while they battled each other, changing the weather, causing ice pellets, raindrop, blood and snake scales to rain down all over the sky!
After a few moments, when the two snakes could not be seen anymore, Zhong Yue looked backwards with his divine third eye, and saw the white serpent bite onto the neck of the Chilian Snake as she injected her venom into her victim. Then, the Chilian Snake fell onto the ground helplessly as the white serpent began eating it, starting from the tail.
Although the Chilian Snake was few hundred meters long, the white serpent was no smaller than it. After devouring the entire Chilian Snake, the body of the white serpent became extremely big and could no longer shift back to human form. After all, similar to Chi Liannu, Lian Xin was also in the Heavenly Dharma, making it easy for her to devour and digest part of Chi Liannu, but not her entire body. Iit would take days for her to fully digest Chi Liannu.
Then, this white lotus serpent descended from the skies as she slithered through the mountainous area quickly and headed towards Zhong Yue.
Lian Xin’s gentle voice could be heard from afar saying,“Junior martial brother, I cannot let you go after you saw me killing our second senior martial sister!
“And you are a dragon. I need to eat you to complete the final Dragon Qi that I lack. Don’t worry, I will not siphon all of your power…”
Like master, like disciple!
Zhong Yue flew away quickly as he thought, Shi Buyi is the traitor of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, and Chi Liannu tried to lay her hands on her fellow students under the same master. This Lian Xin looks like she is very pure, innocent, and delicate, but in truth, she is a bitch just like Lian Xin, but even more cunning and cruel!
