#238 - "Purple Cloud Magic"
" Rumble ~ "
Just then, a deafening thunderclap suddenly sounded in the thick clouds, followed by a drizzle of rain.
After a moment, the rain gradually increased, though not torrential, it was quite dense.
During this time, Liang Yue remained unmoved, sitting peacefully cross-legged on the bare cliff, continuing to circulate and transform the Zixia True Qi.
He was in a state of complete absorption, seemingly immersed in deep cultivation.
His exceptionally handsome face even seemed to be surrounded by a purple glow, as if he had cultivated the "Zixia Divine Art" to the Minor Accomplishment Realm, as legends said.
However, compared to his calm demeanor, the Little King Kong beside him seemed somewhat restless at this moment.
The little fellow had already opened his eyes wide, facing the constantly falling rain, his expression somewhat irritable, and even unconsciously baring his fangs.
Although Little King Kong was a Behemoth, revered as the King of Land Warfare, brave and unstoppable, invincible in close combat, even the Dragon race would immediately retreat when they saw him, otherwise they would easily be hunted and become food.
However, the weaknesses of the Behemoth species are also very obvious, the first being that they cannot fly and can only fight on the ground.
At best, they can launch a wave of jumping attacks through their super powerful jumping ability.
If the Dragon race seizes the opportunity and flies into the sky first, the Behemoths can't do anything about them, and with the advantage of the air, the Dragons can also use Dragon Breath or even Dragon Language magic for long-range fire strikes.
Although Behemoths have super powerful magic resistance, in this situation, they can only choose to retreat quickly, otherwise they will be kited and beaten.
Another weakness is that the Behemoth race dislikes water. Although they can learn to swim, they can hardly fight in water.
So unless necessary, this race rarely puts themselves in watery areas, and they don't even like to go out when it rains.
At this moment, Little King Kong was obviously due to his bloodline, naturally disliking rain, and wanted to find a place to take shelter from the rain.
However, when he saw the calm and composed Liang Yue beside him, he ultimately did not move at all, but chose to share the joys and sorrows with his master… …
… …
The rain lasted for most of the night, and in the latter half, it became even more fine and dense.
Between the hills and forests where the man and monkey were located, even several torrents had formed, constantly draining the muddy floodwater to low-lying areas.
Now that the night has passed, a rugged path originally located between the hills has now become a swamp, wet and soggy, and even passing animals are unwilling to easily set foot in it.
However, as dawn approached, the rain began to gradually weaken, and a gust of wind blew, causing the sky to change again.
In just a moment, the dark clouds in the sky were blown away one after another.
At this moment, Liang Yue, who had been meditating for a whole night, suddenly opened his eyes, and his old face, which had been illuminated by the rising purple energy, slowly returned to normal.
However, he was still sitting there, his eyes were without joy or sorrow, his expression was calm, and he looked at the distant sky with slightly opened eyes.
His chest rose and fell rhythmically, his mouth slightly open, seemingly inhaling and exhaling something invisibly.
The next moment, the eastern sky suddenly slowly changed color, a faint light with a hint of purple rhyme suddenly appeared in the distance.
It was as if clouds were steaming and mist rising, the light was hazy but also made people yearn for it, as if a celestial treasure about to be born was being brewed.
Liang Yue at this moment, suddenly took a long breath, and facing the gradually brightening purple glow, he inhaled like a whale swallowing the sea, while the Zixia Divine Art in his body continued to operate at high speed.
In an instant, a long purple glow seemed to descend at this moment, shining on Liang Yue's body, pouring into his limbs, meridians, and various acupoints.
At this moment, Liang Yue was like an immortal, his whole body shrouded in a faint layer of purple mist.
The scene was as if water vapor was evaporating, and as if immortal energy was surrounding him.
In just a short while, the purple glow in the sky gradually dissipated, replaced by a brighter dawn, but it no longer had the magic of before.
Along with it, even the purple glow surrounding Liang Yue's body followed suit and dimmed a lot, but it was still much deeper than it was at the beginning.
After a while, Liang Yue slowly finished his practice, calmed his mind, and the true qi in his body began to gradually return to the dantian.
… …
" Huff ~ ! "
"Not bad, I didn't expect that after just one night of cultivation, I would have mastered the Zixia Divine Art to the Minor Accomplishment stage!"
"It's a bit of a pity that a lot of true energy was consumed in the process of transformation, but the quality has increased. This Zixia Divine Art is indeed worthy of being a sect leader-level inheritance technique."
After exhaling a long breath, Liang Yue couldn't help but reveal a hint of satisfaction on his face as he felt the changes gradually appearing in the true energy within his body.
However, immediately afterwards, a sense of helplessness arose in this fellow's heart.
Not for anything else, but precisely because of the particularly special cultivation process of this 《Zixia Divine Art》.
Compared to the Nine Yang Divine Art and others, which can directly produce Nine Yang True Energy within the body once cultivated, or transform the original internal force into Nine Yang True Energy in one breath, 《Zixia Divine Art》 often requires a longer process.
This divine art inheritance cannot be accomplished overnight like the former, but can only continuously make the cultivator's original internal force approach the transformed Zixia Divine Art through subtle operation and compression techniques.
Just like Yue Buqun, who also cultivated 《Zixia Divine Art》 in the Smiling Proud Wanderer world, he would often be filled with emotions because of this.
For example, this big shot would often fall into such thoughts after a battle with a powerful character yielded unsatisfactory results.
How would it have been if I had used Zixia True Energy in the battle just now~
If I had prepared one step in advance, with the power of Zixia True Energy, I would definitely be able to do this and that…
Such words have already clarified a fact, that is, even with Yue Buqun's cultivation level of 《Zixia Divine Art》 immersed for many years, he still cannot directly transform the true energy in his body into Zixia True Energy and store it permanently in his dantian.
Every time he wants to use it, he must first go through a special transformation step and condition before it can become Zixia True Energy.
This situation, on the one hand, indirectly shows the extraordinary power of Zixia True Energy, and on the other hand, it also indicates that Yue Buqun has not yet mastered 《Zixia Divine Art》.
Because, according to Liang Yue's own understanding from this original secret manual, before officially practicing this divine art to the Great Accomplishment stage, the true energy in the cultivator's body does need to go through a transformation step to obtain a portion of Zixia True Energy.
If the time is slightly delayed, this portion of Zixia will gradually become loose and then return to its original appearance.
Moreover, this entire process almost accompanies the cultivator from the beginning of Zixia cultivation to the long time between the Great Accomplishment stage.
From the beginning of cultivation, the closer to the Great Accomplishment stage of Zixia Divine Art, the higher the quality of true energy, and the closer the true energy attribute is to the original level of Zixia True Energy.
This is a process of continuous transformation, compression, and purification, which requires a lot of time, energy, and resources.
Until the cultivator can completely upgrade the true energy in the body to become true Zixia True Energy, then he can take it at any time and directly refine the energy of heaven and earth into Zixia.
Of course, in a sense, this is actually the beginning of 《Zixia Divine Art》.
At least in Liang Yue's view, that's how it is~!
Because he clearly knows that the original intention of the birth of Zixia Divine Art is to use ultra-high-quality acquired true energy to continuously polish, compress, and purify to catalyze a true Innate-level true energy!
It can be said that the Great Accomplishment to Perfection stage of 《Zixia Divine Art》 is centered around this goal.
Think about it, how can the true energy produced by this repeated polishing, repeated compression, forging, and purification not be strong?
Like Linghu Chong, the mere few strands of foreign true energy that penetrated into the body are just providing nutrients for my cultivation!
However, under normal circumstances, the process of cultivating this 《Zixia Divine Art》 will undoubtedly be a long process of gradual refinement, requiring a lot of time and energy.
This process is not only grinding skill, but also grinding people!
Think about that Yue Buqun, isn't it because of the crisis in the external environment, he urgently needs strength, but he happened to get such a technique.
In the end, after a long time of lack of progress, he gradually lost confidence and had to run to castrate himself to practice swordsmanship~
However, this is not a problem for Liang Yue at all~
High-quality true energy attributes are exactly what he is pursuing!
A strong physique, meridians, and mental control ability can bring him many cultivation conveniences.
In addition, this fellow previously cultivated 《Great Shift of the Universe》~
This supreme secret technique from the Ming Cult has greatly improved Liang Yue's level of true energy application and drive accuracy.
With the blessing of these conditions, Liang Yue felt that he could even run this divine art inheritance non-stop while riding a horse.
Exchange time for efficiency, and use powerful operating speed and operating intensity to promote the rapid evolution of Zixia True Energy!
As for the massive consumption of true energy generated during this period, the appearance of those Earth Spirit Milk can just make up for these deficiencies.
Even, with the intervention of this high-quality natural energy, it may be possible to accelerate the advancement efficiency of Zixia True Energy and produce effects that surprise Liang Yue!
