Chapter 122: Qi And Blood Like A Furnace, A Body Like A Dragon

“Torch Dragon Ancient Seal.”

That was the Mystical Ability that he had obtained after opening the 36th Immortal Aperture.

This Mystical Ability could gather the power of the Torch Dragon and from the Torch Dragon Ancient Seal to kill the enemy. It could also be used to gather the power of the Torch Dragon and enhance one’s abilities.

However, adding it to one’s body would consume a large amount of Dharmic powers. Fortunately, Ye Ping had abundant Dharmic powers.

Now, all thirty-six Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures had been opened. Not only did he manage to obtain the Mystical Ability, but the effect of the Immortal Apertures had also been enhanced greatly.

The thirty-six Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures had been opened and his cultivation speed was definitely not as simple as being enhanced by 36 times.

Ye Ping could sense that the spiritual energy absorbed by the thirty-six Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures in two hours today was equivalent to 36 merits.

In other words, if he did nothing all day, he would gain 432 power of merit in 24 hours a day.

That was in the situation of doing nothing. If he actively cultivated, it would be doubled.

In other words, a day of meditation and cultivation would be equivalent to 800 power of merit.

Although it didn’t seem like much compared to the power of merit obtained by expiating millions of resentful spirits, such a good opportunity would not come by everyday.

However, if he got 800 merits a day, they would add up to more than 300,000 power of merit after the accumulation of over a year.

That was the result of having only 36 Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures opened. What if he opened up 3,000 of them?

He dared not imagine it at all.

Soon, Ye Ping checked the power of merit in his body.

There was one portion remaining.

Ye Ping did not intend to keep that portion either.

He decided to use them for tempering the Godfiend Body.

Now that he had reached a new realm and opened the 36th Immortal Aperture, the only thing left for him to work on was his constitution.

This time, Ye Ping had already gained an epiphany. It was just like how although he didn’t know how to perform Sword Kinesis Flight, he could still be extremely fast by relying on the power of his body.

Besides, there were also many benefits to Body Tempering. Well, he couldn’t always be the one to hit others without getting hit.

It was also recorded in the Qingzhou Record that there were some places in this world where spiritual energy was scarce. There were also places that would seal the spiritual energy in the body of the cultivator, causing their Dharmic powers to be rendered useless.

That was the reason why many geniuses chose to temper their bodies. Of course, generally, only geniuses would do so.

Most cultivators would cultivate properly and just strengthen their bodies. After all, they didn’t have that much time to spare on tempering their bodies.

Besides, Ye Ping not only had an abundance of time, he also had a supreme Body Tempering method. Hence, he naturally wouldn’t waste it.

Anyway, learning more would definitely benefit him.

Ye Ping immediately began practicing the Godfiend Body Tempering Technique.

He closed his eyes and watched.

The remaining merit in his body, which was equivalent to a quarter of the initial amount, began to be rapidly converted into spiritual energy.

Under the acceleration of the thirty-six Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures, the process was very quick and due to the fact that he had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm, Ye Ping’s body could hold more spiritual energy.

Hence, it didn’t require too much time.

Boom!

Boom!

The thunder-like sound of iron clanging filled the air.

However, only Ye Ping the cultivator could hear the sound of hammering heaven and earth.

A Divine Hammer was transformed using the power of heaven before being used to hammer one’s body and get rid of impurities until perfection.

With the power of the earth, the Divine Furnace was formed and it was then used to refine one’s body, turning it into a dragon in the furnace of blood and Qi.

That was refinement with heaven and earth.

Due to his advancement in the realm and the opening of the Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures, Ye Ping’s tempering speed was becoming increasingly faster.

After three days and three nights.

A fiery red furnace condensed behind Ye Ping with the sound of a dragon’s roar.

It was the symbol of having a furnace of blood and Qi, a body like a dragon.

Ye Ping finished tempering his body eighteen times.

The Little Godfiend body had also been thoroughly tempered until perfection.

At this moment, his Qi and blood were terrifyingly vigorous. In the eyes of ordinary heretical cultivators, Ye Ping was as dazzling as the sun and his body was also strong and terrifying like a dragon’s.

However, the completion of the Little Godfiend body was accompanied by the depletion of the power of merit.

In fact, during this period of time, the connate spiritual energy that was gathered in the ancient emerald gourd had also been depleted entirely.

The Little Godfiend body had been perfected.

At this moment, Ye Ping could not help but open his eyes.

Unlike when reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, he felt a sense of fullness when his body became stronger. Besides, there was also a qualitative change in his strength.

However, Ye Ping was unclear of how strong it was exactly. He would only know if he tried it on someone.

“If only Eldest Senior Brother were here.”

For a moment, Ye Ping somewhat missed Su Changyu.

Soon, he looked at the ancient emerald gourd beside him and somehow felt an urge to smash it against himself to see how strong his physical body was.

However, after some thought, Ye Ping gave it up. After all, it was an ancient artifact and if he overestimated himself, it would be terrible.

While Ye Ping was deep in thought…

In the Qingyun residence.

Wang Zhuoyu was fixing his clothes and smiling at the mirror. He was trying to practice how to smile.

In a few days, he would be going to sit for the final array formation master assessment.

He planned to teach Ye Ping the Dao of array formation before attending the assessment.

After all, after taking the final assessment, he would become a qualified array formation master. By then, he probably wouldn’t have the time to teach Ye Ping array formations.

When a qualified array formation master was lucky, he would be busy setting up array formations everyday. Hence, Wang Zhuoyu intended to participate in the examination before teaching Ye Ping.

As for how much Ye Ping could comprehend, it would depend on Ye Ping’s fate.

Knock-knock.

When Wang Zhuoyu was practicing his smile, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

“Who’s there?”

Wang Zhuoyu pushed open the door of his room and asked.

Soon, he saw an acquaintance.

It was his second Senior Brother, Xu Luochen.

“Senior Brother Luochen, what brings you here?”

Wang Zhuoyu was a little surprised as he did not expect Xu Luochen to look for him.

Outside the door, Xu Luochen’s aura was completely different from before.

In the beginning, Xu Luochen would often have a gentle smile on his face and seemed happy everyday.

However, he now seemed listless, as if he had suffered some fatal blow as he looked extremely melancholic.

Wang Zhuoyu was curious.

He really couldn’t understand what could have happened that made such a cheery person like Xu Luochen so dejected.

“Do you have time to talk for a few minutes?”

Xu Luochen’s voice still sounded as low and melancholic as ever. He seemed rather pitiful.

“Senior Brother, please come in.”

Wang Zhuoyu hurriedly invited Xu Luochen into the room.

He then closed the door of the room.

“Senior Brother Luochen, what is wrong with you? It feels like you’ve changed drastically all of a sudden.”

Wang Zhuoyu poured a cup of tea for Xu Luochen with a curious expression.

However, Xu Luochen did not drink the tea and instead looked at Wang Zhuoyu and asked, “Zhuoyu, are you planning to teach your Junior Brother array formations?”

“Yes, why?”

Wang Zhuoyu was a little curious. ‘Isn’t it normal for a Senior Brother to teach his Junior Brother?’

“Zhuoyu, I suggest you don’t go.”

Xu Luochen tried to dissuade Wang Zhuoyu from courting death.

Wang Zhuoyu disagreed with him.

“Senior Brother Luochen, I know that Ye Ping’s aptitude is poor, but we can’t give up on him just because of that, right?”

“Senior Brother Luochen, ask yourself, do we have good aptitude? To put it bluntly, Eldest Senior Brother doesn’t have good aptitude either. However, has Sect Leader ever given up on us?”

“Senior Brother Luochen, it’s not that I’m trying to lecture you, but as his Senior Brother, we have to be compromising.”

Wang Zhuoyu said earnestly, looking rather noble.

However, Xu Luochen simply glanced at Wang Zhuoyu. He only spoke after Wang Zhuoyu finished.

“But what if Ye Ping is a genius?”

Xu Luochen asked slowly.

After he heard that, Wang Zhuoyu couldn’t help but be stunned.

‘Huh?’

‘What did you say?’

‘Genius?’

Wang Zhuoyu froze.

He was a little confused about what Xu Luochen meant.

However, after a while, Wang Zhuoyu coughed a little and continued to speak.

“If he’s a genius, that’d be even better. Being the initiation master of a genius is such a glorious thing.”

Wang Zhuoyu obviously still did not realize what Xu Luochen meant.

“What if he’s a genius who can surpass ten years’ worth of your efforts in a single day?”

Xu Luochen continued.

“That’s even better! It’s also an honor to be able to personally teach an incredible genius. Senior Brother Luochen, Master is right, you just can’t take a little hit.”

“It’d be good if he’s a genius, and even better if he’s an incredible one. If people like us become the teacher of a supreme genius, would we be at a loss?”

“Wouldn’t it be good if he can surpass our efforts of more than ten years overnight?”

“Senior Brother Luochen, is there no other genius in this world other than Ye Ping?”

“Think about it. If such a genius is from another sect, would you be even more furious after seeing him?”

“However, if a genius like him is from our sect, what is there to be angry about? If Ye Ping is a peerless genius, his achievements will bring glory to us.

“Are you jealous of Ye Ping?”

Wang Zhuoyu didn’t believe that Ye Ping was a peerless genius at all.

He just felt that Xu Luochen wanted to drag others down with him just because he was incompetent himself.

If Ye Ping was a peerless genius, why was Su Changyu still so happy after teaching Ye Ping the Sword Dao every single day?

‘Why are you so depressed?’

‘At the end of the day, you’re just narrow-minded and can’t stand seeing others doing better than you.’

That was what Wang Zhuoyu thought.

“Okay, Senior Brother Luochen, it’s getting late and I have to go look for Ye Ping. Think about it yourself.”

After saying that, Wang Zhuoyu got up and left.

In the room, Xu Luochen was stunned.

After a long time, he couldn’t help but smack his thigh and mutter to himself.

“Yeah. Wouldn’t it be great if Ye Ping is a peerless genius? Why should I be depressed all day?”

“Yes! I’m enlightened!”
