Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 264: The 500-Year Stone Monkey

What Zhong Cang referred to as "solidified talent" naturally refers to the true meaning of the Qi Consumption Technique.

This ability allows Zhong Cang to absorb celestial materials, earthly treasures, and the essence of the five elements to nurture himself.

In the past, it would have been fine if there were no celestial materials or earthly treasures to absorb. But now, the aura of the mountains and rivers is right beside Zhong Cang, allowing him to absorb to his heart's content.

This feeling of a rat entering a granary is something Zhong Cang has never experienced before, and as a result, he absorbed without any hesitation.

"Buzz..."

After activating the Qi Consumption Technique, Zhong Cang's body became like a black hole, and the speed at which he absorbed the aura of the mountains and rivers suddenly doubled.

The rapid absorption caused the accumulated aura of hundreds of years to undergo noticeable changes.

"...Huh?!!"

This absorption efficiency made the Turtle Prime Minister furrow his brows. He felt that something was not right.

However, since the Dragon Lord had already agreed to bestow it, even if Zhong Cang absorbed more, he couldn't stop him. That would make the Dragon Lord appear stingy and petty.

In the end, he could only console himself by saying, "After all, these are resources from the Foundation Building Stage."

While the Turtle Prime Minister was finding excuses for himself, Zhong Cang's absorption continued frantically.

Opening his mouth wide, the majestic aura of the mountains and rivers was continuously swallowed by Zhong Cang.

Once the aura entered his body, it would be immediately absorbed and digested by the Five Viscera Gods.

Because the Five Viscera Gods were rooted in Zhong Cang's internal organs, and the internal organs were closely related to the muscles, bones, and blood.

In the end, Zhong Cang's qi and the aura were divided and digested by the Five Viscera Gods.

After digesting the aura, Zhong Cang's internal organs, flesh, tendons, and blood were all strengthened.

However, this was ultimately the aura of the dragon veins.

The frenzied absorption not only caused the Five Viscera Gods in Zhong Cang's body to have a tendency to transform into dragons, but also caused Zhong Cang's human body to undergo a certain degree of dragonization.

Unlike the Mirage Dragon, Ba Xia, Bi An, and Lin Long, the dragon that Zhong Cang transformed into himself resembled the legendary Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

The towering and ferocious deer antlers turned into golden dragon eyes, the fingers turned into sharp claws, and a tail covered in scales grew behind Zhong Cang.

Gradually, Zhong Cang transformed into a half-human, half-dragon form.

Zhong Cang didn't care about the changes in his physical body, nor did he care that the totem of ancient China was the dragon.

In this world, there are countless cultivators who transform their human bodies into demonic bodies in order to strengthen themselves.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the cultivator's physical body undergoes a major transformation.

After this transformation, there is almost no resemblance between the mortal body of a human and the Divine Body of a Soul Formation cultivator.

As long as one cultivates, they will gradually become less human. This transformation is irreversible and unstoppable.

In the eyes of the high-level cultivators, whether someone is human or demonic is not determined by their physical body or even their soul, but by their true self, their true spirit.

As long as the true spirit remains unchanged, Zhong Cang will be regarded as human.

The aura of the dragon veins cannot contaminate Zhong Cang's true spirit.

...

In this way, relying on the true meaning of Qi Consumption, Zhong Cang continued to absorb the aura of the mountains and rivers.

However, even with the solidified true meaning, there is still a limit to the amount of aura a person can bear.

As time passed, Ba Xia, Bi An, and Lin Long gradually stopped absorbing.

They had reached their limit.

Half an hour after the three dragon sons completed their transformation, Zhong Cang's Mirage Dragon let out a long roar... its transformation was also complete.

Along with the completion of the transformation, Zhong Cang's physical body also solidified into a half-human, half-dragon form.

Of course, if he completely digested the aura, Zhong Cang could still alternate between his human form and his dragon form.

However, at this moment, Zhong Cang had no intention of paying attention to these matters.

The remaining four divine lords of the other organs, and even the transformation of his own body, have all been completed.

But as the heart, the divine lord of the heart - Exploding Ape, which serves as the foundation of Zhong Cang's physical body, its gestation is still ongoing.

And Zhong Cang has a feeling that currently, the nurturing of the Exploding Ape of the heart is only halfway complete.

The only thing that brings him joy is the perfect gestation of the Heartfire Exploding Ape.

Before success, a surging heartbeat also emanates from Zhong Cang's heart.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The heart beats like a drum, like the roar of cannons, and as time passes, it becomes more and more intense.

The strong and healthy heart, like an engine, gives Zhong Cang a sense of surging power.

"I can crush everything!"

The strong heartbeat, filled with unparalleled physical strength, even gives Zhong Cang the illusion that he can crush everything.

But soon, Zhong Cang realizes that this is not an illusion.

"Crushing everything may be a bit exaggerated, but carrying mountains and wearing mountains is what I can do now!"

"Boom!" "Roar!" "Roar..."

As time passes, the sound of Zhong Cang's heartbeat becomes faster and louder.

In the end, the sound of Zhong Cang's heartbeat is like thunder, accompanied by a rumbling sound.

The excessively intense sound even causes the air and even the ground to vibrate.

The water tribe surrounding Zhong Cang also feels a deep pressure due to his surging heart.

Equally uncomfortable is the Turtle Prime Minister.

It is not because it is overwhelmed by Zhong Cang's momentum, but because it is trembling with heartache.

"For three hundred years, he absorbed the evil energy accumulated by my Cloud Dream Dragon Palace for three hundred years!"

"Cough cough..."

Hearing this sorrowful statement, the nearby Qing Qiu monk also feels a bit embarrassed.

Even she did not expect Zhong Cang to be able to absorb so much evil energy in one breath.

However, the more Zhong Cang absorbs, the happier she becomes, as the absorption of evil energy now represents the foundation for the future.

Of course, while feeling joy in her heart, Qing Qiu monk cannot ignore the feelings of the Turtle Prime Minister. Afraid of trouble from the Dragon Palace, she quickly says:

"Prime Minister, as you know, prodigies always need more resources than others..."

"I know, but I thought he could only absorb three to five decades, at most a hundred years... at the current rate, the evil energy stored in our Cloud Dream Dragon Palace will be completely absorbed by your little brat!"

"...Cough cough, this is indeed our fault. Please rest assured, my Cloud Firmament Sect will compensate."

"Is this just a simple compensation issue? The evil energy of the mountains and rivers, this is one of the foundations of our Cloud Dream Dragon Palace, it is the guarantee of the Dragon Transformation of the water tribe..."

The Turtle Prime Minister said a lot, but after hearing its words, the Qing Qiu monk felt relieved.

She could feel that the Turtle Prime Minister did feel heartache from the consumption of the evil energy of the mountains and rivers.

But despite its serious tone, it did not interrupt Zhong Cang's absorption. Obviously, it, or rather the Dragon Palace, did not have the intention to fall out with the Cloud Firmament Sect. It just wanted to gain some benefits from it.

Regarding this, Qing Qiu monk, who knows the attitude of the Cloud Firmament Sect, is not too concerned.

Spending some resources to make Zhong Cang stronger is a gain for the Cloud Firmament Sect no matter what.

With this in mind, Qing Qiu monk and the Turtle Prime Minister began their negotiations.

However, before the negotiations, Qing Qiu monk believed that she would not be surprised no matter what the Turtle Prime Minister asked for.

But soon, a face-slapping moment occurred. The Turtle Prime Minister, or rather the Dragon Palace, made a request that left her speechless.

"Marry a dragon princess!!!"

...

Zhong Cang is unaware of the conversation outside. After absorbing the evil energy of the mountains and rivers for five hundred years, the Heart Ape in his chest is also reaching a critical moment.

It is about to be born!
