SWNOVELXO Chapter 49: Breakthrough, Six Paths Reincarnation Technique
Chief Eunuch He Yong, upon hearing the words, took over the urgent report and promptly presented it on the imperial desk.
Ji Zikong unfolded the urgent report and started to review it in detail.
His expression shifted from initial surprise to a solemn concentration, and finally to a profound shock, as if each character on the yellowed pages were heavy hammers striking upon the lake of his heart, stirring ripples layer upon layer.
"I never expected such an outcome from the Jing Luan Assembly, that only one person survived," Ji Zikong muttered to himself, his tone laced with complex emotions, "It really surprises me."
Chief Officer Ji He of the Mountain Sea Department stepped forward and asked, "Then, Your Majesty, should this Jing Luan Assembly be considered invalid and started over?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zikong glanced at Ji He askance, his ire not needing to assert itself.
Ji He felt an invisible pressure mounting on him, making his breathing grow labored.
Even with his cultivation in the Spirit Void Realm, he couldn't withstand it in the slightest.
Ji He quickly bowed his head and prostrated himself on the ground, silently awaiting judgment.
After a moment, Ji Zikong coldly huffed, "Do you think the martial masters under the heavens can withstand the trials of two Jing Luan Assemblies? While the Jing Luan Assembly does exhaust the martial masters of the world, there must be limits—too much, and not enough. If it exhausts too much, it could instead cause turmoil in the current situation."
Ji He bowed and flattered, "Your Majesty displays clear insight; it is this servant's foolishness."
"Thirty-five thousand units of Killing Merit," Ji Zikong rose from the Dragon Throne, murmuring, "Ever since the Jing Luan Assembly was established, no one has ever reached this level. A nineteen-year-old martial master of the Spirit Void Realm, impressive indeed."
"Transmit my decree, summon this person to the palace immediately. I want to meet this prodigy personally and bestow upon him the rewards he deserves!" Ji Zikong's voice echoed in the Imperial Study Room, carrying an undeniable authority.
"This servant obeys," replied Chief Eunuch He Yong, who was standing by. He quickly said, "I will send the message at once."
With that, Chief Eunuch He Yong hurriedly left the Imperial Study Room.
After He Yong had left, Director Feng Daxun of the Imperial Observatory spoke, "Your Majesty, I observed the celestial phenomena last night and noticed changes in Dan Zhou. This morning, my subordinates already sent back information, indeed an Ancient Relic has appeared near Dan Zhou. The results of this Jing Luan Assembly might partly be due to the strength of the Huang Tian Sect, but they are probably also not unrelated to this Ancient Relic."
Ji Zikong nodded and responded, "Aside from Dan Zhou, I have also heard that an ancient tomb appeared in Taiping County, but it was looted by demons. Over the past few years, demons have been rising, and ancient remnants have been continuously appearing. It seems the day of great changes in the world is drawing nearer."
Director Feng Daxun's gaze was downcast, as if lost in thought.
"Let it be, we'll take it one step at a time. Who knows what the future may hold."
The situation had not yet reached its utmost point; the Great Zhou Temple still needed to hold on for some time.
...
In the camp, on a vast Martial Arts training ground,
Shen Qing stood bathed in the blazing sunlight, standing tall and straight as a pine, grounded between heaven and earth.
The sunlight pierced through the clouds like a golden waterfall, cascading over his face, draping him in a layer of faint glow.
Shen Qing closed his eyes, assumed a stance training position, and refined the Spiritual Energy in his body.
At this time, faint fluctuations of Spiritual Power surrounded him, resonating subtly with the surrounding Spiritual Energy. Each breath he took drove the movement of the surrounding Spiritual Energy, as if he were merging with the universe.
As he delved deeper into his cultivation, the numbers on the Water Ink Panel suspended in front of him, indicating the progress in the "Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique," jumped at an astonishing rate.
Each leap of the numbers made Shen Qing feel his cultivation advancing further.
Swirls of Spiritual Power appeared above his acupoints, greedily devouring the surrounding Spiritual Energy, transforming it into nourishment for his cultivation.
Shen Qing could only feel the Spiritual Energy inside him churning incessantly.
He held a Wish Power Pearl in his hand, accelerating this process.
With his cultivation progress inch by inch, Shen Qing experienced an indescribable sense of satisfaction, which increasingly engrossed him.
He didn't know how long had passed when he was finally enveloped by a delicate heat, as if he were standing in white fog, that he slowly ended his cultivation session for the day.
After a session of intense cultivation, although he was covered in sweat, his eyes were exceptionally bright. Suddenly, Shen Qing felt something, a thought emerged, and he summoned the Water Ink Panel.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
The familiar interface appeared before his eyes.
[Skill: Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique (Great Perfection)]
[Progress: 4001/4000 points]
[Status: Break Limit possible]
[Note: The Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique is a Body Cultivation Technique without limit-breaking skill; continuous breakthroughs can transform it directly into the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique.]
"Six Paths Reincarnation Technique?"
Shen Qing was quite unfamiliar with such Martial Arts.
He was somewhat puzzled.
But having broken through so many times, Shen Qing knew there were only benefits and no disadvantages.
Without any hesitation, Shen Qing chose to break through.
Boom!
As soon as Shen Qing initiated this thought, the information on the Water Ink Panel instantly refreshed, and a powerful, mysterious force bolstered him.
Countless memories appeared in his mind out of nowhere, catching him entirely unprepared.
Even with his Spirit Void Realm cultivation, facing such agony, Shen Qing couldn't help but groan in pain.
After a while, Shen Qing slowly woke as if from a deep and prolonged dream, his memory surged like a tide and eventually calmed down, completely digested and absorbed by him.
In these memories, another Shen Qing from a different time and space was immersed in the cultivation of the Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique, day and night, through all seasons.
After decades, through countless revisions and realizations, he finally comprehended and completely mastered the core of this Martial Arts, integrating all its essence.
Furthermore, on this basis, he comprehended the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique.
This technique not only inherited the path of the Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique to devour surrounding Spiritual Energy and strengthen oneself but also integrated the supreme Martial Arts philosophy of endless cycles and perpetual life.
When cultivated to the extreme, even if severely injured, one could recover rapidly within a very short period of time using the amazing Recovery Power contained in the technique, reborn like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Shen Qing looked up at the Water Ink Panel that had already refreshed, unable to hide the joy on his face.
[Skill: Six Paths Reincarnation Technique (Entry Level)]
[Progress: 1/5000 points]
[Status: Break Limit not possible]
[Note: The Six Paths Reincarnation Technique is a supreme Cultivation Technique, which when mastered to the extreme, allows the cultivator's physical body to be nearly immortal, possessing astonishing Recovery Power and the Power of Rebirth.]
Shen Qing stared at the information on the panel for a long time without saying a word.
He silently operated the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique, suddenly realizing that each motion filled every muscle and drop of blood with supreme spiritual essence.
The strand of golden blood in his veins, previously as thin as a strand of hair, had now thickened to the size of a little finger, roaring and rushing within Shen Qing's body like a golden dragon.
