Chapter 492 - 198: Yin Yang Energies Enhancement, Omen of War!_3
Alone with the "Dragon Invocation Technique," the "Nirvana Art," and the "Life Transference Technique," trying to solve the "Dragon Roar Physique" was basically impossible.
Unless he had infinite lifespan.
Otherwise, with his lifespan of just over two hundred years of Foundation Establishment, he simply couldn’t withstand it.
"The main problem," he mused, "is still the backlash from the Dragon Roar Physique erupting."
"If during the process of collecting Life Essence, a certain kind of Yin Cold power is used to suppress this Dragon Roar Primordial Force, it would be much simpler for me to collect Life Essence."
Lu Changsheng reflected on the previous experience of collecting Life Essence from the Dragon Roar Physique using the Dragon Invocation Technique.
He felt that as long as he had certain treasures or powers to suppress the backlash of the Dragon Roar Origin Source while he was collecting Life Essence,
he could then proceed with the collection of Life Essence from the Dragon Roar Physique with peace of mind.
There would be no need to immediately use a secret technique to stabilize Ling Zixiao’s condition right after collecting a thread of Origin Source.
"However, to suppress the backlash of the Dragon Roar Physique, you would need at least Third Rank Spiritual Medicine, treasures, or ask a Nascent Soul Immortal who cultivates Yin Chill Attribute Technique to make a move."
Lu Changsheng knew that ordinary elixir medicines and treasures simply couldn’t contain the backlash of the Dragon Roar Physique.
At least a Third Rank treasure would be necessary.
While it was true that all the items he obtained from the system lottery were of the Third Rank,
the chance of drawing just the right Spiritual Medicine or treasure that could help Ling Zixiao was extremely slim.
As for a Nascent Soul Immortal who practiced Yin Chill Attribute Technique, Lu Changsheng couldn’t even imagine it was possible.
Even if he could afford to pay a great price to request the help of a Nascent Soul Immortal,
he wouldn’t have the face to ask someone to suppress the backlash with Yin Chill mana while he was collecting Life Essence.
"Forget it, I can only take it slow, now that the Dragon Roar of Yang Energy is receding, and the Yin-Yang balance is temporarily stable, there’s no need to worry about lifespan for the time being,"
Lu Changsheng reassured himself.
Given Ling Zixiao’s original condition where her meridians and Dantian were continually withering, she would have been lucky to live another year.
Now that most of the Dragon Roar Yang Energy within her body had been collected, there was no need to worry about life-threatening danger for a year or two.
Therefore, he still had plenty of time to resolve Ling Zixiao’s issues.
At that moment, Lu Changsheng thought of the time when he had collected the Dragon Roar Origin Source, only to have it devoured and refined by the Yin Yang Energies.
He looked towards the Yin Yang Energies swirling around his Yin Yang Five Elements Foundation Base in his Qi Ocean Core.
The Yin Yang Energies, after devouring and refining the Dragon Roar Origin Source, seemed to have grown slightly stronger.
He had a vague feeling that his foundation, his Dao Foundation, might also have improved a bit.
However, this improvement was so subtle and small that it wasn’t immediately noticeable.
"Could my Dao Foundation still improve?"
Lu Changsheng looked at the circulating Yin Yang Energies and thought to himself.
He looked forward to continuing the collection of Dragon Roar Origin Source, now with a bit more anticipation.
He was curious to see if, after the Yin Yang Energies had devoured enough Dragon Roar Origin Source, his Dao Foundation might experience a significant improvement, and perhaps even... transform.
If it were to transform, that would be quite extraordinary.
"Phew!"
Feeling the fatigue in his body and mind, Lu Changsheng decided not to ponder further.
Embracing the warm and tender figure in his arms, he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
...
Three days later.
Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao walked out of their cave dwelling.
At this moment, the two of them seemed closer and more natural together, like a well-matched couple.
Walking in the Immortal City, Lu Changsheng could see that there was a marked increase in patrolling law-enforcement cultivators.
"I wonder what happened in the city in the past few days."
Lu Changsheng thought back to a few days ago when he was treating Ling Zixiao, meanwhile the Celestial City was suppressing demon cultivators.
Ling Zixiao was also curious.
Although her mind had been hazy at the time,
she vaguely sensed that there had been considerable commotion within the city.
Soon, the two of them inquired about the past few days’ happenings.
They learned that a few days ago, several Nascent Soul demon cultivators were lurking in the Celestial City.
Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect activated The Celestial City Formation to suppress and kill these demon cultivators.
In the battle, one Nascent Soul Immortal was captured and suppressed, two Nascent Soul Immortals perished.
Had it not been for one Nascent Soul Immortal self-destructing, the remaining Demonic Path Cultivators would’ve nearly all been suppressed and captured.
"Six Nascent Soul Immortals, and several False Core Immortals..."
Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao were surprised when they heard the news.
They hadn’t expected the situation to be so severe on that day.
It was known that in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, a family force led by a Nascent Soul Immortal was considered a famous and top powerhouse.
Yet now, so many Demonic Path Nascent Soul and False Core cultivators had been hiding in Jiuxiao Immortal City, obviously with no small schemes.
At the same time, the two were astonished at the Heavenly Sword Sect’s actions.
They managed to suppress three Nascent Soul Immortals in such a short time – no wonder the commotion was so big at the time.
"Alas, the world of cultivation is becoming more chaotic; I’ve heard that both the Qingyun Sect’s domain and the Imperial Spirit Sect’s Domain have seen the appearance of demon cultivators and Demonic Sects."
"Yes, wasn’t it said that the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Five Poisons Cult from Jin Kingdom challenged the Xuanjian True Monarch from the Heavenly Sword Sect? It is still unknown who won or lost in that battle."
"If the Xuanjian True Monarch is defeated, then our Jiang Country Cultivation Realm will be in danger."
Someone nearby said with a sigh.
Lu Changsheng heard these words and thought of his journey to Jiuxiao Immortal City, where Xiahou Family from the dark waters pursued Chu Qingyi.
Through these events, he realized that something significant was about to happen in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.
His heart sank, and he couldn’t help but worry, "Could a war be about to break out in Jiang Country’s Cultivation Realm?"
He had read many books in his days.
He knew the history of cultivation realms.
According to the records of the history of the Southern Wilderness, there was no shortage of battles between nations.
After all, the resources of a country are finite.
If progress is stagnant, the easiest solution is naturally conquest.
He was able to lead a relatively safe life these past twenty years, thanks also to the relatively stable environment of the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm.
Now, with several demon cultivator incidents, coupled with two Nascent Soul True Lords from Jin Kingdom challenging the Xuanjian True Monarch, it seems there are several indications of the prelude to a Cultivation Realm war.
Once war breaks out, the stability will be shattered, and as a member of Jiang Country, he would inevitably be affected.
