Chapter 11

Fully activating the Divine Water Technique, Jun Wuming truly felt that this place, the heart of the Xuan Yin Spirit Vein, was a treasure land.

Jun Wuming now had two choices: the first was to comprehend the profound cold and yin essence of this place, condensing his intent and inner breath to transform it into a shape, achieving innate Xuan Yin magical power; the second was to use the Divine Water Technique he had cultivated, combined with the tidal force of the Divine Water Lotus Platform, to gather and form a shape, achieving the innate Tidal Dao.

However, the first choice required time to re-understand the profound cold and yin essence of this place. At this moment, what Jun Wuming lacked most was time. If he were to re-understand a new Dao rhythm and build the bridge between heaven and earth, he might miss the opportunity.

Without further delay, he focused his mind and activated the Divine Water Technique in his body using the Small Circulation, quietly refining the Xuan Yin aura in his acupoints.

Using his mental power to look inward, he saw that the 365 major acupoints in his body were covered with threads of black frost, which had frozen and blocked his blue inner breath.

However, after the Divine Water inner breath flowed through each acupoint, it moved extremely slowly and steadily. As time passed, the black frost gradually merged into the blue inner breath, forming a vast sea of tides. Threads of vitality began to appear, and with each acupoint refined, the Divine Water inner breath flowing in his body became thicker.

Seventh, eighth... eleventh... one hundred and twenty-eighth... two hundred and seventy-sixth... three hundred and fifty-fifth, three hundred and fifty-sixth... When all 356 major acupoints were fully connected, the thick blue light in his meridians surged like a river, flowing continuously like a flying dragon. The slight pain in his meridians increased, and as the Divine Water inner breath circulated, threads of cold black Xuan Yin aura appeared, mixing with the deep blue sea of power.

Jun Wuming suddenly opened his eyes, and a steady stream of blue light flickered in his eyes. Looking around, he suddenly noticed that the surroundings were still shrouded in black Xuan Yin mist. A black Xuan Yin vortex, several dozen meters in size, had formed around him, centered on the ice block under his feet.

The black Xuan Yin aura around him was being drawn into the center of the Xuan Yin Spirit Vein. Looking up, Jun Wuming saw a large, ancient bronze mirror floating above, emitting a bright white light that protected him from the Xuan Yin aura.

Releasing his mental power to sense, he found that the protective golden light around his body had already dissipated. It was this white light that had protected him during his meditation.

Standing up, he bowed slightly to the ancient mirror.

After a brief hesitation, Jun Wuming calmed his mind and sat down in a cross-legged position, preparing to seize this opportunity to break through his current realm!

He no longer suppressed the vast and surging Divine Water inner breath in his meridians, focusing his mind to guide and condense the blue inner breath in his meridians. After 36 small circulations, it formed a clear, blue, lustrous stream that radiated from his brow.

The main bottleneck in advancing from the first stage to the second stage lies in the bridge between heaven and earth. This bridge is not a physical object but a shadow, an intangible bridge between the human body and the universe. Once it is opened, one can draw upon the elemental energy of the universe, using it at any time to enhance one's own power!

At this moment, the blue inner breath in his meridians was highly condensed. Jun Wuming slowly guided the blue magical power to impact the bridge between heaven and earth, while meditating on the tidal force in his consciousness.

The blue flood surged into his dark consciousness, instantly creating a small blue sea in the midst of the black mist.

At this moment, Jun Wuming could feel that the Xuan Yin aura around him was no longer restrained by the white light, rapidly surging into his surroundings. Visible to the naked eye, layers of black Xuan Yin aura formed large and small black vortices above the young man in blue, growing to several meters in diameter within a few breaths, drawing the black Xuan Yin aura from the Xuan Yin Spirit Vein into his body through his crown.

If someone were present in the Xuan Yin Spirit Vein, they would witness a strange scene: a young man in blue sitting on black ice, with black Xuan Yin aura swirling around him like a tornado, forming endless black ropes that fiercely entered his head, creating a terrifying and awe-inspiring sight, as if the young man were a divine being bound by ancient chains.

Without panic, this situation had been simulated dozens of times in Jun Wuming's mind. He calmly absorbed and refined the surging Xuan Yin aura, replenishing his blue inner breath, which slowly flowed into his consciousness, expanding the blue sea within.

The blue sea rapidly expanded, dispersing the black mist and creating a vast space.

In a daze, Jun Wuming felt as if he had arrived in a vast world, where only a blue sea roared and surged. The waves, like charging troops, roared and screamed, desperately rushing into the black mist.

Waves several meters high surged forward, filled with terrifying and mysterious power, roaring like a giant thunder, sweeping across the dark world like a thousand troops. The waves were as violent as a hurricane, like churning foam, losing their rhythm.

Suddenly, the sea of waves calmed, like a gentle breeze plucking a string, like evening flowers gently falling. Then, the waves rose again, layer upon layer, sweeping across the entire dark world.

The waves rose and fell, never ceasing, rolling forward.

Gradually, with the rise and fall of the sea, blue rain began to fall, forming a unique scene over the sea. As the rain increased, it became denser. Blue star-like points began to gather, and as the blue light became brighter, a figure suddenly emerged from the blue light.

The mental power had successfully condensed into a shape!

Looking around, Jun Wuming curiously observed the blue sea below him. His eyes scanned the area, and he quickly understood the situation.

He knew that this place was deep within his consciousness, and every cultivator who had just broken through to the second stage could open their consciousness and form a shape with their mental power.

At this moment, Jun Wuming's mental power was condensed into a three-inch figure, emitting a precious blue light, standing in the blue sea, as if walking on clouds, feeling indescribably wonderful. With a wave of his arms, the blue sea responded, the vast waves surging.

Feeling very satisfied, but knowing that his work was not yet complete, Jun Wuming suppressed his impatience, recited the Divine Water Technique, and formed hand seals, causing boundless black light to rise. The Xuan Yin aura around him began to wildly condense and rotate.

A vast amount of black Xuan Yin aura surged toward Jun Wuming's somewhat thin body. Once the wild Xuan Yin aura entered his body, it was immediately stabilized and refined by a mysterious aura that had appeared around him, transforming into a gentle, several-meter-long black river, dark and ink-like, making one's soul shiver.

Feeling the cold Xuan Yin aura in his hands, Jun Wuming did not hesitate, and his fingers flicked, sending blue light-filled seals directly into the center of the black river.

His expression turned serious, and he pressed his palms down, drawing the entire black river. His body rose, and he transformed the black river into a ring around him, reciting the mysterious blue-lighted incantations from the Divine Water Technique, embedding them into the condensing river.

Infinite black patterns rolled and steamed in the black water, refining the black river inch by inch, absorbing a large amount of Xuan Yin aura to form extremely cold and yin black water.

This Xuan Yin black water was far superior to Xuan Yin aura in essence, not only retaining the pollution and corrosive power of Xuan Yin aura but also greatly enhancing its coldness. A small amount of Xuan Yin aura's freezing power was far inferior to that of ten-thousand-year-old ice, but once refined into Xuan Yin black water, it far surpassed ten-thousand-year-old ice. This Xuan Yin black water was not only extremely cold but also polluted the soul and had a relentless corrosive power, making it a valuable secret treasure for self-defense and demon subjugation.

At the same time, Jun Wuming did not know that as he performed the secret technique, a mysterious black water-drop-shaped mark appeared on his brow, emitting a black light that was both noble and awe-inspiring.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Jun Wuming waved his hands, causing the black river to surge, and the vast amount of Xuan Yin aura was instantly refined into the black river. Seizing this opportunity, Jun Wuming completely released the black river.

The black river swept up the surrounding water, like a giant whale swallowing, and the black Xuan Yin aura around him rapidly disappeared, the black light sphere shrinking rapidly, and even the black ice on the stone walls quickly melted, making Jun Wuming gasp in amazement.

This black river condensation technique was a method attached to the Divine Water Technique that Jun Wuming possessed. He did not know its specific level, but he had long coveted it, lacking only the opportunity to cultivate it.

This time, with the abundant Xuan Yin aura in this Xuan Yin treasure land, Jun Wuming naturally did not want to miss the opportunity.

The black river condensation technique had its unique qualities. First, the black river condensed by this technique was integrated with the Divine Water Technique that Jun Wuming had learned. Once the black river was condensed, it would provide Jun Wuming with a continuous source of magical power, giving him the confidence to face third-stage cultivators.

Most importantly, the black river would not only serve as a source of magical power but also as a trump card in his hands. This technique, condensed from Xuan Yin aura, was integrated with Jun Wuming's mental power, allowing him to control it with a single thought, without needing to rely on his own magical power. Moreover, this technique had a high potential for improvement.

However, the condensation of this technique required a large amount of elemental energy, which Jun Wuming had previously lacked. This time, he finally got his wish.

After years of planning, his efforts were not in vain! Feeling greatly satisfied, Jun Wuming looked around.

The Xuan Yin aura at the bottom of the well was now thinner than before, but it still appeared substantial. Jun Wuming was not in a hurry and focused on the vast magical power flowing in his body.

The black, innate magical power flowing in his meridians had replaced the original blue Divine Water inner breath.

With a thought, Jun Wuming casually struck out with his palm, and black light appeared. The black light swept over, freezing the river into countless black ice blocks. With a finger, a sword beam flashed, and the ice blocks shattered. Seeing this, Jun Wuming nodded in approval, thinking that this Xuan Yin black ice was quite solid, and with deeper cultivation, he could freeze a river for eternity.

At this moment, the black-robed elder outside had already turned pale, no longer maintaining his calm demeanor. Seeing the rapidly shrinking Xuan Yin aura at the bottom of the well, he could not bear to part with it. With a wave of his sleeve, a powerful force struck the flying black and white treasure mirror in the sky.

The force swept over, and a black light from the mirror penetrated the other side of the ancient tree, drawing the faint morning light from the sky, stabilizing the area with a vast black light. The beautiful woman, who had been meditating, was now resting in a blue-flowered chair. Seeing the black-robed elder's frantic actions, she laughed.

"Grandfather, why are you so stingy? Ming just reached the second stage and can't absorb much Xuan Yin essence. Besides, he's not an outsider!"

The black-robed elder looked displeased. "You only care about that boy. I've wasted my affection on you. He's already absorbed one-twentieth of the Xuan Yin aura from this Xuan Yin Spirit Vein. Brat!"

"Hmph, if he weren't my descendant, I would have killed him with a single slap. When those old immortals wanted to refine treasures from me, I didn't agree. Now, this boy has refined so much, it's a huge loss. I only wanted to save his life, but he turned out to be a troublemaker." The black-robed elder looked pained.

"Boy at the bottom, get out here! You've had enough of the free ride, it's time to go!" The black-robed elder gathered his magical power and sent a powerful sound wave into the ground, causing a vast wave to surge toward Jun Wuming.

Jun Wuming smiled inwardly, his body moving like lightning to avoid the sound wave. Shaking his head, a hint of regret flashed across his handsome face. Well, it seems he was not destined to meet the Xuan Yin Spirit Maiden here.

Gathering the black river, which had expanded to several dozen meters, Jun Wuming gathered his breath and leaped up, carrying the entire black river with him, heading straight for the well opening.

In an instant, a black, dragon-like light, several dozen meters long, shot out from the bottom of the well, circling in the air a few times before transforming into a young man in blue, slowly descending from the sky.
