Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 134: Qi Refining Stage · Realm of Mana

"They're all dead!"

"I saw it!"

Although the live broadcast was cut off, Yang Ning could still see what was happening on Tianheng Peak through someone else's phone.

Since they no longer had any value to exploit, why would Lin Tianheng keep them?

They had no reverence for life and trampled on human rights. They believed in the principle of prosperity for those who obeyed and destruction for those who opposed.

At this moment, Yang Ning suddenly understood why Huang Chao wanted to eradicate the Seven Sects and Five Clans, not sparing even newborn infants.

He understood why Zhu Yuanzhang had such great hatred for corrupt officials, willing to flay them alive and exterminate their entire families.

He understood why the people in the liberated areas could become so enraged at the sight of a white-haired girl that they would rush onto the stage to kill Yang Bailao.

Because they had truly experienced this kind of hatred, this kind of resentment, which even the merging of three rivers and the cleansing of five lakes could not wash away!

Can a grudge of nine generations still be avenged?

Can a grudge of ten generations still be avenged?

Yang Ning had also struggled with the idea that if he dropped a hydrogen bomb, all beings would be equal.

But in the Lin family's territory, there were innocent maids and servants who should not have died.

But now?

It doesn't matter anymore!

If you have to blame someone, blame yourselves for living there.

If you were forced, then the Lin family members will accompany you in death, so you won't lose out.

If you are generations of servants, loyal dogs of the Lin family, now is the time to show your loyalty, isn't it!!

"Boom!"

A muffled thunder exploded in Yang Ning's mind.

"I'm going to cultivate Qi now!" Yang Ning said.

"But you haven't even started practicing the Yang Spirit Technique!" Deep Blue hurriedly advised, "Don't mess around, even if your physical body dies, your spirit can still exist, but if your spirit dies, you will have nothing!"

"It's not necessary, I feel that the time is right!"

The sky had rain, clouds, thunder, and wind. This was the right time!

With the protection of the Tower of Eternity in the Extreme Eternal Palace, no one would come out to disturb him. This was the right place!

Yang Ning had been practicing the Myriad Manifestations Star Art for four months, visualizing four hundred and eighty million stars. His cultivation was complete, and the Twelve Celestial Techniques of the Star Art were all born, vivid and full of charm. He believed that no one could have a higher level of cultivation than him.

In addition, his mind was swaying and his emotions were bursting, completely unable to restrain himself!

Yang Ning had long been able to capture the spiritual energy in the sky. Now, what he needed to do was to activate them and let them rise from the Baihui acupoint and enter his body!

He carefully guided a strand of the five elements' spiritual energy and placed it at the Baihui acupoint.

The spiritual energy seemed to sense something and rushed into the acupoint.

In an instant, a burst of starlight bloomed before Yang Ning's eyes, as if the heavens and earth were opening up.

An endless flow of information poured into his mind from above, followed by an immense and majestic will, as if standing in the sky and yet omnipresent!

The unity of heaven and man!

This is the way of heaven!

Yang Ning instantly understood his own situation.

Cultivators steal the creation of heaven and earth for themselves, using their spiritual senses to perceive the qi of heaven and earth, merging their thoughts and intentions, merging their spirits with heaven, merging heaven and man into one, and seeing the way of heaven!

This is the only opportunity for cultivators to see the way of heaven before becoming immortals. The next time will be when they become immortals!

This time is extremely short, fleeting. Yang Ning felt something in his heart, and with a thought, a stream of qi surged out from his soul and merged into the way of heaven.

The chaotic primordial qi!

This is something that forms an Innate Divine Ability. How can I let it slip away?

But there is no sign of the birth of an Innate Divine Ability at all!

Yang Ning thought of a possibility.

If you don't even know what you want, how can the way of heaven give it to you?

In an instant, a strong hatred instantly occupied his entire mind.

That was the innocent look in four-year-old Yang Caier's eyes.

That was Su Bai Ning Rong's resilience, willing to die rather than betray herself.

That was Xun Hu's openness, not harboring any hatred even until death.

That was the most tragic scream a mother could make when facing the death of her daughter.

Everything, in the end, turned into a firm will.

"I want revenge!"

"I want to change!"

"I want to overturn everything!"

"I want those high and mighty people who were born to belong to the heavens to taste the taste of dust!"

"I want to become the calamity hanging over these beasts' heads!"

Boom!

The chaotic primordial qi rushing towards the way of heaven not only returned in an instant, but also brought back more chaotic primordial qi!

A square talisman accompanied by a strong spiritual will gave birth to a phantom, and under the influence of the chaotic primordial qi, gradually became solid and resilient.

Finally, it even emitted a faint brilliance!

The next second, Yang Ning screamed in pain, "Ah!"

Spiritual energy began to invade his mind and body!

Endless pain started from his brain and gradually spread throughout his body, as if there were ten thousand piranhas tearing Yang Ning's body apart from both the outside and the inside!

He urgently blocked his nervous system, but it was useless. The invasion of spiritual energy not only eroded his physical body, but also his soul. How could he block the pain from his soul?

"This is supposed to be Qi Refinement? It hurts, it hurts so much! They said cultivating is comfortable!" Yang Ning gritted his teeth in anger, but he didn't dare to enter the Spirit Realm to seek refuge.

What if he couldn't control his will and his body couldn't bear it?

Yang Ning finally understood why cultivators have to do more tasks and experience more battles.

Without a strong will, just this intense pain alone can kill a person!

"Lin Tianheng, no!" Yang Ning thought of Lin Tianheng in his mind. With the hatred he had for him, he could definitely endure it!

But Yang Ning instantly put this person behind him.

He wanted revenge, but his life couldn't be solely focused on revenge.

I would rather have sweet thoughts in my mind when facing pain, rather than being filled with hatred!

So!

Lin Yuanxi, come!

Li Suxiao, come!

You Ruo? I don't know what You Ruo looks like!

Then let's change it, the goddesses from past lives!

Xiao Longnu, come!

Nie Xiaoqian, come!

Bai Suzhen, come!

Huang Rong, come!

Ah Zhu, come!

Oops, my mistake, it's Ah Zhu from Heavenly Dragon Eight Parts, not that internet celebrity.

At some point, Yang Ning suddenly realized that the pain had disappeared, replaced by a tingling sensation, as if being electrified.

It's itchy, but comfortable!

"Deep Blue, what's the situation now?" Yang Ning asked.

"It seems like you have successfully cultivated your inner energy!" Deep Blue said. "Now it's the final stage!"

"I knew it, I can do it!" Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, finally making it through!

He struggled a bit and could feel his body. He was covered in sweat, weak and unable to get up.

Unable to get up, he simply lay down, feeling the condition of his body.

"Meridians!" Yang Ning noticed it for the first time, countless wide meridians within his body.

Previously, meridians were not a real thing, but rather a pathway formed by the interference of muscle force fields, different from other muscles.

But now, the force fields had turned into mana, and this pathway had become real meridians.

"Oh right, I have mana now!" Yang Ning felt the mana within his body. This thing was the product of spirit and qi integration, so even though it was pitch black inside his body, he could still perceive its color.

Colorless and transparent!

Yang Ning asked Yuan Xi before, and Extreme Eternal World didn't have spiritual roots. It absorbed and refined all types of attribute qi, so the mana refined from it naturally encompassed all attributes. As long as there was a corresponding spell, he could use the corresponding magic.

Of course, Yang Ning only absorbed the five elements qi, so he could only use five-element spells. He definitely couldn't use demonic spells.

These five elements didn't just refer to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but also included wind, thunder, yin, yang, ice, snow, and other attributes related to middle-grade qi.

It was a bit difficult to mobilize mana, giving him the feeling of a weak person moving a heavy tire.

It was obvious that the mental strength he had when cultivating his inner energy was not enough, or rather, it just met the standard, which resulted in a somewhat heavy mana load. But it wasn't a big problem. The methods for improving mental strength for Qi Refining Stage cultivators were much more abundant than those for Physical Body Realm cultivators.

In addition, Yang Ning also felt that his spirit had changed after cultivating his inner energy.

His detection range had expanded, from 140 kilometers to suddenly reaching 1652 kilometers!

Now, it wasn't just a dream to take the enemy's head from a thousand miles away!

The intensity has also increased. Previously, his telekinesis could only lift objects weighing a few dozen kilograms, but now he can lift iron balls weighing 1400 kilograms!

In the midst of his telekinesis, a cute and silly beast floated up in front of Yang Ning and then disappeared in an instant.

The Twelve Celestial Elements of the "Star Creation Method" can also be transformed through magical power!

Of course, this is only a quantitative change, there are also qualitative changes.

In the midst of Yang Ning's telekinesis, a ball of fire appeared in front of him, and with another movement, the fire turned into a ball of water!

The mind can directly interfere with spiritual energy and perform spells!

Although these spells are not mainstream and can only scare ordinary people, going from being able to slightly manipulate in the Physical Body Realm to directly controlling spiritual energy in the Qi Refining Stage, transforming the virtual into the real, is clearly a level of sublimation!

"Modern people believe that cultivating immortality is actually the evolution of life, and this statement is indeed true!"

His mind has been sublimated, and naturally his physical body has not been left behind.

Magical power flows like a trickle through the meridians.

The meridians are related to blood vessels, which are distributed throughout the body, so it is natural that the meridians are also the same.

When magical power flows through the meridians, it also constantly dissipates into the body. Every time the body absorbs a little magical power, it becomes stronger.

The degree of enhancement between each breath is comparable to a whole day of tempering for a cultivator in the Physical Body Realm using blood and qi!

This is why the first layer of the Qi Refining Stage is called the "Transcendent Mortal Realm"!

Naturally, it sheds its mortal body and becomes a Perfected Being!

Therefore, cultivators in the first layer of the Qi Refining Stage can already call themselves Perfected Beings, but that was a rule from ancient times. Nowadays, not many people call themselves Perfected Beings.

After playing for a long time, Yang Ning still felt unsatisfied.

He gathered his mind towards the Divine Sea. It should be noted that his powerful mental power has triggered an Innate Divine Ability!

At this moment, Yang Ning's Divine Sea has undergone a great change. In the center, there seems to be a waterfall falling from the sky, dispersing into the Divine Sea and becoming the water in the sea.

The spiritual energy that comes from the Baihui acupoint will be processed by the Divine Sea here and then flow into the meridian system. At that time, the spiritual energy will become magical power that can be controlled by cultivators.

It is also called true essence or spiritual power, but they are actually the same thing.

Around the Divine Sea, there are twelve different-shaped beasts scattered about. From the Physical Body Realm to the Qi Refining Stage, the aura of these twelve celestial elements has become much stronger and more agile, as if they are really coming to life.

Above the twelve celestial elements, a hazy gray dragon ball rotates in the air. It is the projection of the Nightmare Dragon Ball. However, this projection looks much more solid and almost indistinguishable from the real Nightmare Dragon Ball.

Next to the dragon ball, there is a square seal-like symbol with a character in the middle.

The symbol looks like something from the Immortal Cultivation World, but if you zoom in on the characters in the center of the symbol, it is composed of endless flowing 0s and 1s, full of a science fiction feel.

Just like Yang Ning himself, a cultivator with a touch of science fiction.

This is the Innate Divine Ability that Yang Ning awakened.

When Yang Ning's divine sense sensed it, he immediately understood the function and purpose of this Divine Ability, and then he understood it in his heart!

The function of this Divine Ability is actually like this!

It seems to have no attacking ability!

But thinking about it carefully, it completely matches my thoughts at that time!

Innate Divine Abilities only have information, but no names. Obviously, the names that later spread out should have been given by the owners of the Divine Abilities themselves.

After pondering for a long time, Yang Ning said, "Since your function is like this, let's call you: Deep Blue Contract!"

There are already many attachments, so this Innate Divine Ability will not be set too strong.
