Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 176: Nine Seas Decision
Speaking of which, Gu Xiaoxing still remembers this strange Qi-condensing technique. He was amazed when he saw it.
This technique was not found in the Qiqiao Sect's Transmission Pavilion, but was collected in the treasury by the Qiqiao Sect's people like an antique. No one practiced it because this technique was extremely difficult, and in a sense it could even be said to be misleading!
But for the lonely little star at this moment, it is extremely suitable!
This strange Qi-condensing technique is called...Nine Seas Art!
The so-called Qi condensation is to condense a Qi sea in the cultivator's body, and the Nine Seas Jue technique is to condense nine Qi seas in the cultivator's body, and each Qi sea must be of the same size!
In other words, if one wants to build a foundation by practicing this technique, one must first cultivate all nine Qi Seas to the level of Qi Condensation Great Perfection, which is equivalent to nine Qi Condensation Great Perfections!
It is simply impossible for an ordinary cultivator in the Qi Condensation stage to do this, not to mention whether they have enough lifespan to persist in practicing to the level of nine Qi Seas. Even if they have enough lifespan, their body in the Qi Condensation stage is not enough to support such a huge amount of spiritual power. The second Qi Sea is enough to burst the average cultivator, let alone nine!
But these are not a problem at all for Gu Xiaoxing now, because he has reached the Jindan stage, and his body has been tempered countless times. If only the physical body is compared, he is not inferior to even those who have reached the Jindan stage of great perfection.
No matter how Gu Xiaoxing looked at it, he felt that this was a martial art tailor-made for him, so he stopped hesitating and started practicing!
Outside Gu Xiaoxing's body, as Qiao Yanran slapped him with her palm, Xin Zhenren, who was in the late Jindan stage, was actually knocked unconscious by this slap. The violent air waves hit all directions, but behind Qiao Yanran, there was no wind at all for Gu Xiaoxing.
Qiao Yanran did not make another move. The young master was in cultivation, and she needed to protect him here. She turned around and glanced at Wangcai and Facai. The two little guys were so scared that they immediately sat up straight, standing on both sides of Gu Xiaoxing like two stone statues, definitely two guardian kings.
Qiao Yanran smiled at them with satisfaction, but when the two little guys saw that smile, they became even more frightened and quickly looked away.
Then, Qiao Yanran looked at the people in front of her, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Yanran thanks the senior and all the fellow Taoists."
Many people felt a chill in their hearts when they saw Qiao Yanran's smile. They finally realized that this little goddess of the wilderness was not as gentle as the rumors said, but was an extremely protective person. Especially the pretty boy behind her, they must not provoke her, or else this would be the fate of Qiqiao Sect and Master Xin!
Moreover, the eyes of those who were watching the fun also flickered at this moment. With things having come to this point, it was impossible for the people of the Sword Controlling Sect to be unaware of it, but they still did not show up. This attitude explained everything, and no one would want to take the lead.
The only person present whose mood and expression did not change was an old man carrying a sword on his back and a pot. He was the first one to tease Master Xin and claimed to be from Jian Jiu Valley!
There are three people who have reached the great perfection of the Jindan stage here, but there is only one person that Qiao Yanran can call senior. This person is the master of Jianjiu Valley, and his name is... Gu Jianjiu!
The reason why Qiao Yanran called this person "senior" was because she knew that Jian Jiugu was not a simple person and had someone above him!
Gu Jianjiu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You have already completed your Dan formation. If a few more years pass, I will call you a senior. Qiao girl, do you want to go to Jianyi Valley up there to play? I recommend you to join the valley."
Jianyi Valley is a super powerful force in Xuantian Domain, and is well-known even in the entire Jiutian Domain. If one can enter this valley, it would be equivalent to an astonishing fortune, enough to rise to the top!
But the strange thing is that the people present did not seem surprised when they heard this, as if it was not the first time they heard it.
Qiao Yanran's expression did not change. She smiled and shook her head, saying, "Yanran doesn't want to practice swordsmanship, so I won't go."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Let's go, let's go!" Gu Jianjiu was rejected and started to throw a tantrum, shouting at everyone to disperse.
Everyone seemed to know Gu Jianjiu's temper, so they didn't say much and prepared to leave.
But suddenly, a strange suction force appeared, and countless spiritual energy between heaven and earth rushed madly towards the source of the suction force, and the source of the suction force was behind Qiao Yanran.
Everyone was stunned and stopped, their eyes fell on the young man who was practicing . At this moment, someone shouted in fear.
"Oh my god, you're going to suck my power!?"
These words spread all around in an instant. The few people who had completed the Jindan stage were fine and didn't feel anything, but those who were in the late Jindan stage and below were all shocked. They indeed felt that their own cultivation was draining away, and they quickly circulated their cultivation to resist, which was then no problem. However, the spiritual energy around them gathered at a faster speed and was swallowed up by the source of the suction!
Wangcai and Facai were originally squatting beside Gu Xiaoxing, but the moment the suction appeared, because they were so close, they felt like their whole bodies were going to be sucked over, so they quickly hid behind Qiao Yanran and thus escaped.
Qiao Yanran also looked at Gu Xiaoxing in confusion, as if she had thought of something, and immediately showed a look of surprise. She glanced at the two little guys behind her and said, "You two go back first and stop running around. Do you hear me?"
Qiao Yanran looked very pretty when she smiled, with eyes and brows as if a peach branch was bent. But in the eyes of the two little guys, it looked more like a winter plum branch, so cold that they almost shivered and nodded .
"Well, go ahead!" Qiao Yanran said.
The two little guys immediately felt relieved and fled from this "ice cave" like a flash. They swore never to make the hostess angry again. It was so scary!
Qiao Yanran looked at their hastily fleeing figures and couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. Then her expression froze and she stayed beside Gu Xiaoxing. At this time, she would not allow anyone to get close!
The people around stepped back a little, but none of them left. They practiced hard on weekdays and it was a rare opportunity for them to come to the Sword Controlling Sect. Compared to the boredom in the guest rooms, they obviously wanted to stay in a more lively place.
At this moment, everyone started chatting with each other, occasionally looking at Gu Xiaoxing with interest.
The only miserable person was Master Xin. Everyone retreated away, and he was the only one who was knocked unconscious and still lying there. His cultivation was slowly draining away by the suction force, and no one cared about him.
As for Gu Xiaoxing, as he began to practice the Nine Seas Art, spiritual energy continued to gather in him, causing the sea of qi in his body to continue to grow. However, it would obviously take quite some time to reach the level of perfect qi condensation!
Gradually, Gu Xiaoxing began to dislike its slow speed. This was just the condensation of the first Qi Sea. If he wanted to condense nine Qi Seas, wouldn't it take several months at this speed?
So, Gu Xiaoxing used his soul-devouring magical power without hesitation!
