Chapter 65

After Zhu Ganglie condensed the Ice Spirit Divine Light, his divine soul underwent a qualitative improvement, especially since this Ice Spirit Divine Light was formless and intangible, the coldest in the world, and incredibly powerful.

After successfully refining the True Qi, a Qi Practitioner at the Body Attachment stage far surpasses cultivators at the Manifestation stage, being a hundred times stronger.

At this level, one can extend their lifespan by three hundred years and greatly increase their strength, thus truly stepping into the threshold of Qi Practitioners.

Only by cultivating well at this stage and condensing high-quality True Qi can one have the opportunity to advance to the Golden Core stage and condense a high-quality Golden Core.

Zhu Ganglie, having completed the condensation of the Ice Spirit Divine Light, laid a solid foundation for the future, which was something to be proud of.

Standing in the first layer of True Qi, Zhu Ganglie looked up at the thirty-five layers above, his gaze heavy. The True Qi in those layers was even purer and had some semblance of spirit, but he could not ascend further.

This was because the True Qi layers above were more violent and dangerous.

According to the Divine Lightning Dao Canon, the True Qi in the upper layers had developed intelligence and could manifest in physical forms, some of which were as powerful as the Golden Core stage.

It was a perilous place, and with Zhu Ganglie's strength, he could barely enter the third layer of True Qi.

However, at that time, he would have to use all his strength to resist the True Qi, leaving him without any protective power.

If someone were to spy on him, his divine soul would be in danger.

Many Qi Practitioners had their divine souls captured and fell into an irredeemable state because they lacked effective protection while refining True Qi.

After successfully refining the True Qi, Zhu Ganglie did not continue to condense his magical power but quickly returned to his physical body.

He had been refining True Qi for half a month, and if he did not return, his physical body would be damaged. Therefore, he had to return to the cave in Qingqiu Mountain.

Upon returning to his physical body, the Ice Spirit Divine Light immediately nourished it, invigorating the blood. Fortunately, his physical body had already reached the peak of secular martial arts, and he had also gained insight into the Buddhist Eye, which had enhanced his physical body to a certain extent.

The Buddhist cultivation method focused on the physical body, developing its inherent abilities and nourishing it, so his physical body had not suffered much damage during the half month.

After returning to his physical body and nourishing it, Zhu Ganglie got up and walked out, seeing that the cave was guarded by fox demon soldiers, indicating that Tu Xiaoxiao had already taken control of the entire Qingqiu Mountain.

"Congratulations, Daoist, on your successful cultivation!"

When Zhu Ganglie came out, Wang Muma congratulated him with a smile, feeling extremely pleased. With the presence of this Daoist, they had already brought all the fox demons of Qingqiu Mountain under their control and did not have to worry about Tu Yumei in the short term.

"I have only settled my karmic debts and repaid the favor of the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf. I will continue to cultivate here for some time. If you have any matters, you can inform me. Where is Xiaoxiao?"

"Thank you, Immortal, for your righteousness. Princess Xiaoxiao is cultivating the Heavenly Fox Scripture, hoping to break through to the first level soon."

Wang Muma did not hide anything and spoke sincerely.

"Good!"

Zhu Ganglie nodded faintly, then flicked his wrist, and six Great Vajra Manifested Spirits appeared in the cave.

"These are six powerful spirits that can greatly enhance the strength of Qingqiu Mountain. I will continue to seclude myself for some time, so do not disturb me during this period."

After placing the six Great Vajra Manifested Spirits in the cave, Zhu Ganglie's figure flickered and he returned to the depths of the cave.

Seeing the six golden, giant spirits, Wang Muma's heart tightened, and she was overjoyed. With these six giant spirits, they would find it easier to control Qingqiu Mountain.

Zhu Ganglie then sat down in meditation, and his physical body flew into the air. With the condensed Ice Spirit Divine Light, he could fly directly using the True Qi, without relying on magical tools.

In the first layer of True Qi, Zhu Ganglie shot out thirty-five Ice Spirit magical powers from his body, circulated the Ice Spirit Dao Heart Method, and absorbed the Cold Ice True Qi.

After entering the Body Attachment stage, each of his magical powers had become as large as a fist, while ordinary Qi Practitioners' magical powers were only the size of a ping-pong ball.

Each Ice Spirit magical power, resembling a water droplet, shimmered with a faint light, absorbing the Cold Ice True Qi and condensing it into Ice Spirit Divine Light.

After these magical powers condensed into Ice Spirit Divine Light, a faint halo surrounded the water droplet-shaped magical powers, making them look beautiful.

As each magical power condensed into Ice Spirit Divine Light, Zhu Ganglie's magical power further increased. Each drop of Ice Spirit magical power contained immense power, capable of instantly freezing a hundred-mile radius or transforming into a vast lake.

Zhu Ganglie spent thirty-five days condensing the Ice Spirit Divine Light from the thirty-five Ice Spirit magical powers, and then he began to condense the magical power for the Gourd Sword Technique.

The True Qi for the Gourd Sword Technique is called the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, which requires absorbing the Heavenly True Qi and condensing it with the Five Metals Qi of the Gourd to form the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.

Zhu Ganglie slowly absorbed the Heavenly True Qi using the Gourd Sword Technique's magical power. Without the complete Gourd Sword Technique, he would not have been able to distinguish and absorb the Heavenly True Qi from the countless True Qi, let alone condense it into the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.

As Zhu Ganglie absorbed the Heavenly True Qi and condensed it, a faint rainbow halo emitted from the Gourd Sword Technique's magical power, forming a fist-sized rainbow gourd, which looked beautiful.

Once the Gourd Sword Technique's magical power condensed into the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, it not only became even sharper but could also attract metallic objects.

"Ha ha, someone is cultivating magical power in the True Qi layer, what a lucky break for me, Fire Ghost King!"

A loud, joyful voice came from below, followed by a huge flaming skull flying up.

The skull opened its mouth, ready to swallow Zhu Ganglie.

"Hmph!"

Zhu Ganglie coldly snorted, his eyebrows raised, and the天河 (Heavenly River) protecting his body suddenly expanded into a river several miles wide, directly colliding with the flaming skull, shattering it into pieces of ice.

"You heretic, asking for death!"

After shattering the flaming skull, Zhu Ganglie did not intend to spare the Fire Ghost King. He scanned the area and saw four more flaming skulls flying up.

He dove into the Heavenly River, and the immense cold transformed it into a surging river that poured down from the sky, rumbling loudly.

One collision sent the four flaming skulls flying, and before they could resist, the cold Heavenly River swallowed them, freezing them into four ice blocks.

The Heavenly River's power did not diminish as it continued to crash down, its immense force seemingly capable of freezing the heavens and earth.

"Which Daoist friend, please forgive my impertinence!"

Seeing the five flaming skulls destroyed, the Fire Ghost King was terrified and immediately begged for mercy, disregarding his dignity.

However, Zhu Ganglie would not spare him. Daoist cultivators pursued the path of immortality and did not fight to the death over trivial matters to avoid losing their cultivation, but once a grudge was formed, it would be a matter of life and death.

This person had attacked him while he was cultivating, so how could he spare him?

The huge river, like a silver dragon, fiercely collided, swallowing a mountain range several dozen miles wide, turning it into a frozen wasteland.

A Daoist in a fiery red robe, with five skull heads carved on it, and a sinister face, was directly frozen on the mountain.

"Hmph!"

With Zhu Ganglie's cold snort, the ice block shattered, and a skull spirit soul tried to fly away. But Zhu Ganglie grabbed it fiercely and placed it in the God Sealing Tower, refining it into a God Sealing Talisman.

Zhu Ganglie reached out and erased the spirit's intelligence, obtaining the information within, and his expression suddenly changed: "Not good!"

Zhu Ganglie shouted and quickly flew toward Qingqiu Mountain.
