Chapter 154: Absorption in Defiance of the Natural Order
Translator: Kazeyuki_ Editor: Jimmy_
This attempt immediately made Qin Wushuang forget about himself. He lost himself to his heart’s content in this marvelous state of absorption. In fact, he enjoyed it very much.
Instantly, it was as if a mythological creature that had gone hungry for a few thousand years appeared, it devoured this spiritual core like nothing else mattered.
Qin Wushuang had never expected that he could not suppress its temperament once he initiated the transportation of the Qi. It’s speed had far exceeded his expectation.
His initial plan was to absorb it slowly. He would immediately stop this process once his body revealed signs of stress. After all, he only wanted to try it out.
However, the procession of the matter had thrown him off.
Not only did Qin Wushuang’s body reveal no signs of uncomfortableness, instead, it was devouring the food right before him like a starving man.
And its speed far exceeded Qin Wushuang’s estimation. In about less than fifteen minutes, he had devoured the entire spiritual core cleanly. He had turned it into a dark and grey stone without any Spiritual activity!
He had genuinely absorbed it cleanly!
Panicking, Qin Wushuang checked the condition of his body. However, he discovered that his entire body functioned normally without any signs of sickness. What’s more, the absorption process did not even let the body exert much effort to the extent where no sweat had emerged at all.
Initially, he worried that his body would not be able to bear the Spiritual Qi. Now, it seemed his fears had been groundless.
The Spiritual Qi he had absorbed had completely passed through the brow and entered the Middle Altar point.
Although he had not merge the Spiritual Qi with his inner Qi, the absorption speed and his non-resisting body had already made Qin Wushuang astonished and surprised.
Unconsciously, Qin Wushuang poked with both of thumbs. The Few Manufacture point shot out a wave of rich and vigorous sword Qi!
The Seeded Sword from the <Coagulated Sword>–Young Shang Sword!
Both swords shot out with the exact same intention, path, speed and power!
Chi chi, chi chi!
Travelling horizontally and vertically, the sharp sword Qi shot out to the far away blue dome of heaven like two arrows. Regardless of the temperament and the merging of the sword Qi, just like two dragons raising its head, it revealed a significant increase from before!
“This fast?” Qin Wushuang was secretly stunned, “The Spiritual Qi I had just absorbed could pierce out like sword Qi? And the power is greater than before?”
“So I set up the pole and I see the shadow.” Qin Wushuang sighed. Still in disbelief, he moved the tip of his fingers and shot out the Young Shang, Middle Rushing, Guan Chong, Shang Yang, Young Rushing, Young Ze Sword. The rise and fall of these sword moves had genuinely become unstoppable.
Feeling excited, Qin Wushuang felt this coarse and wild power.
It was a new discovery. Precisely, this discovery had completely flipped his past training experiments. He had found a training path that only belonged to him.
Indeed, the <Power of Deep North> was unusual.
Qin Wushuang felt deeply moved as he thought: “In the former world, people called this technique the three Inner Martial Technique. It sure is extraordinary and contains vast knowledge.
“It seems that the martial arts technique is not what the ancient masters thought. Upper Sky Realm is only a stage. In these technique books, many of them had the knowledge of the Upper Sky. Only, ancient martial artists could only train the Pre-Sky Realm part. Since they could not reach the Upper Sky Realm, they could not sense it. Thus, at the same time, these rare technique books were also broad and deep.”
“Apparently, it was not because the ancient masters were incapable of leaving behind any treasure. It was because the generations after were useless since they could not understand the core of these rare technique books and could not pass it down. Instead, they had to fall back. In the end, in the ancient martial arts word on earth, not a single Upper Sky had existed.”
From this point, it was why the broken lineage of the martial arts was terrible.
Qin Wushuang felt overjoyed after having gained from training the <Power of Deep North>. It could be said that he had finally marched onto the right path in the Upper Sky Spiritual Martial Force.
“I have to thank all of these people for the <Coagulated Sword>. If I have not trained it, I would never have practiced the Few Manufactures Point to the invincible stage. Of course, I would not be able to absorb the Spiritual Qi. Most importantly, the sword intention from the <Coagulated Sword> had been the exact same as this <Power of Deep North>. They all used the Young Shang and the Middle Altars point.”
Training the <Coagulated Sword> in the beginning was such a smart action. The more Qin Wushuang thought about it, the more he felt lucky. And the more he felt he could not underestimate the few elite techniques from his former world.
In the future, he must continue to exploit the potential of these techniques.
Qin Wushuang sat cross-legged and quietly meditated. He was merging the newly absorbed Spiritual Qi. Although the Qi had entered the core of his body, it could not merge with his original Qi completely.
To turn it as his own was the second step in the <Power of Deep North>.
To turn it as his own, he must merge his own Spiritual Qi. Or else, the two strands of Qi would disturb each other and become a burden if they did not share the same intention.
Qin Wushuang did not want such an annoying thing to occur.
Previously, he had died due to the backlash from agitated Qi . In this world, he must take each of his steps carefully. Especially after absorbing the Qi, he must clear the way and turn it completely into his own.
The merging process was extremely complicated. Fortunately, this Flame Cloud Vulture belonged to the fire attribute. And since Qin Wushuang had just entered Upper Sky Realm, he was also sensitive to the fire attribute. Naturally, these were thanks to the <Sun Force> he had practiced during the Pre-Sky Realm.
More or less, there were some familiarities when he absorbed the fire attribute into his body. Thus, the merging speed was much easier.
At this time, Qin Wushuang suddenly sensed a trace of uneasiness. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky. A trace of danger covered the top of his head.
He carefully felt this and it seemed that spiritual core he had just absorbed emitted a strange sense of familiarity to this presence.
‘What is going on? I have a bad feeling, why did I feel a sense of kindness? Could it be, the comrades of that vulture had come?”
“I should evade the limelight and see who had come!”
When he thought here, Qin Wushuang threw that finished spiritual core at the place. Then, his figure flashed and disappear into the lush forest.
He had his reasons for abandoning this used “spiritual core”. Since he could feel the strange familiarity, of course, he must have sensed the comrade of this vulture. He intended to throw the brick and to attract the jade to see how many more Spiritual Beasts there were.
A short while after concealing himself, two sounds of miserable chirps came from the sky.
Apparently, they had already discovered their friends “abandoned spiritual core.” To Spiritual Beasts, this method of stripping away the spiritual core was almost equivalent to their greatest nightmare.
As long as the spiritual core existed when the body was destroyed, they would always have the possibility of reviving themselves. However, the looting of the Spiritual Qi was the most catastrophic.
However, these two Flame Cloud vulture appeared well-trained. One of them stayed in higher in the sky and glanced around with its pair of sharp eyes to watch for dangers.
And the other one dashed down, seized that abandoned spiritual core and flew upwards.
Showing an organized defense strategy, with one above and on guard, they did not need to be afraid of potential attacks from the concealed enemies.
Even before the potential enemy had a chance to attack, the vulture in the sky would for sure discover it beforehand.
Such strategic combination made Qin Wushuang who was concealed in the darkness stunned.
“Indeed, they appear to be similar to the one I killed. They seem to be from the same nest.” Qin Wushuang did not dare to show any reckless movements.
Under such situation, it not be appropriate for him to make any attacks. Obviously, the enemy had formed defense layers. Once he moved, he would be exposed.
In that case, that Spiritual Beast on the higher level would have more than enough time to attack.
And the Spiritual Beast on the lower-level could also attack in combination.
Despite Qin Wushuang’s confidence, he knew he would not get any upper hand from the combined attacks of the two mutually bonded Spiritual Beasts.
At most, he could only protect himself. It would be almost impossible if he wanted to kill them like he did with the first Spiritual Beast.
Besides, judging by their intelligence, Qin Wushuang was highly suspicious whether they were trained by humans. If that was that case, he must also guard against the appearance of a human warrior.
Just as he thought, after a moment, the two Spiritual Beasts scattered from left and right after chatting among themselves.
In the next moment, Qin Wushuang felt a wave of dark Upper Sky presence that approached the lush forest before him. Although this wave of Upper Sky Qi did not seem eerie, it did carry a special temperament and made one feel goosebumps.
Qin Wushuang had completely concealed his presence and hid inside a tree cave.
He could almost hear the footsteps from the other party.
“I know you are close!” That person emitted a light voice, “Within the hundred yards, there are no other Upper Sky warrior. Although you’ve tried hard to conceal your Upper Sky presence, the presence you left beforehand could not stay hidden.”
Stunned, Qin Wushuang could not figure out for a time whether he was using the confusing tactic, or was he truly confident?
Of either possibilities, he must stay one hundred alert.
He did not expect the enemy would arrive this quickly. Not much time had passed since Qin Wushuang had killed that Spiritual Beast, yet he could use his Upper Sky presence to locate him.
This opponent would not be ordinary!
If they were to fight, it would be Qin Wushuang’s most difficult and most ferocious battle since he had entered Upper Sky Realm. He had already made the hand signs on his five fingers. At any time, he was ready to initiate his Qi and launch a surprise attack!
Instead of staying passive, he would rather make the first move!
