Chapter 612: Chapter 284: Condensing into One Qi

Stone City Palace.

The spacious hall was empty, and the area within a mile had long been cleared of people.

Lu Yuan sat in the center of the hall, his eyes slightly closed, his Divine Sense expanding, connecting with the vast will between Heaven and Earth.

In his meditation, a Heavenly Pillar connected the heaven and earth, and endless desires of the people flooded in from all directions.

By hanging his soul in the Heavenly Vault, he could see that these desires of the people came from the territory of the Chu State.

At this moment, these endless desires of the people came together, gradually being influenced by an invisible force, and turned into the Qi Luck of people.

This Qi Luck surged and gradually turned into a thick golden cloud, directly covering nearly a hundred miles in radius in the imaginary space of meditation.

“Now is the time!”

Lu Yuan’s thoughts moved, communicating with the Heavenly Pillar, as a firm and vast will descended, instantly stirring the golden cloud, turning it into a whirlpool, and swallowing it instantly into the Heavenly Pillar.

The wind and clouds changed colors.

Countless Qi Luck golden clouds were being absorbed by the Heavenly Pillar at an incredible speed.

As the Heavenly Pillar absorbed these Qi Luck golden clouds, the stubborn and silent force beyond the Heaven suddenly began to be pried open.

This pried-open force poured into the Heavenly Pillar, instantly transformed into Immortal Spirit Qi, and, through the channel of the Heavenly Pillar, crazily rushed downward.

At the bottom of the Heavenly Pillar, Lu Yuan’s body was enveloped by the invisible pillar, and the majestic and abundant Immortal Spirit Qi flowed into him through his heavenly spirit, rapidly being absorbed and transformed into Dao Power.

This transformation happened extremely quickly, gradually turning the Immortal Spirit Qi into a swirling spiritual energy, emitting a captivating, illusory phenomenon around his body.

“All the people follow me, Heaven and Earth unite. The Azure Sky is dead, the Yellow Sky shall rise. Heaven helps me!”

Lu Yuan recited the main principle of the Taiping Dao Book, and the surging Peaceful Dao Power in his body instantly activated, rushing crazily into his five internal organs and spleen.

Under the extreme compression of the Dao Power, it was almost as if his five internal organs and spleen would burst open, emitting an unbearable pain, making his body involuntarily tremble.

But even in such pain, Lu Yuan still gritted his teeth and persevered.

The Dao Power accumulated in his body for eight years continued to gather in his five internal organs and spleen under the traction of the Taiping Heart Method.

With the gathering of this vast Dao Power, a heavy atmosphere began to slowly condense.

The Dao Power cultivated over eight years was soon swallowed by this heavy atmosphere, but even so, it still fell short of gathering enough heavy Qi.

“Come on, with the Qi Luck I’ve gathered over five years from 7 million people and ten thousand miles of territory, it’s time to play its due role.”

Seeing his Dao Power wane, Lu Yuan’s eyes suddenly snapped open, deep yellow light shooting out from his pupils, and the nearby swirling golden Qi Luck immediately flowed into the Heavenly Pillar at a speed ten times more terrifying than before.

At this moment, within the Heavenly Pillar, an Immortal Spirit Qi ten times more powerful than before came pouring down like mad.

Inside Lu Yuan’s body, the Taiping Dao Book operated at its peak, and the heavy Qi nurtured in his five internal organs and spleen, along with the Heart Method, crazily absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside.

Huge amounts of spiritual energy entered his body, instantly transformed into Dao Power by the Heart Method, and then immediately swallowed by the heavy Qi.

It was as if his body was a gluttonous beast, emitting a signal desiring Immortal Spirit Qi, longing for Dao Power, and longing for evolution.

Under this endless desire, the heavy Qi Luck cloud outside quickly shrank, and in just a moment’s time, it had decreased to less than one-tenth the size it had been before.

What remained continued to shrink rapidly.

Should this trend continue, it might not take a hundred breaths of time for this sliver of Qi Luck cloud to completely disappear.

Fortunately, under the endless nourishment of the Immortal Spirit Qi, the heavy Qi nurtured in Lu Yuan’s five internal organs and spleen seemed to finally reach its limit.

With a clear sound from the depths of his soul, like breaking through a barrier, a yellowish-brown Immortal Qi finally broke the shackles of his five internal organs and spleen, appeared within Lu Yuan’s body, and quickly flowed throughout him.

An endless sense of comfort accompanied the circulation of the Immortal Qi, coming from all parts of his body.

The massive impurities that had been constantly entering his body from the outside world since birth were instantly cleansed by the yellowish-brown Immortal Qi and expelled from Lu Yuan’s body.

His entire body and mind felt purified, becoming lighter, as if he could ascend into the heavens, his connection with Heaven and Earth far more intimate than ever before.

It was as if he had merged with Heaven and Earth, becoming part of it.

However, the purification came quickly and went quickly as well.

It felt like only two or three breaths’ time, or just an instant.

After Lu Yuan’s entire being had been sublimated, the newly born yellowish-brown Immortal Qi, having exhausted a great deal of Immortal Power, returned to his five internal organs and spleen, nestled within them, and remained motionless.

Nevertheless, he had a clear feeling that if he wished, he could continue to stimulate this yellowish-brown Immortal Qi with his thoughts and Dao Power.

Although he had the ability to do so, Lu Yuan chose not to.

Because he knew that the newly born Five Elements Earth Qi had exhausted the power accumulated from swallowing countless Dao Powers when it had just cleansed him.

If he were to force it now, it would be possible, but it would pose a risk of damaging his foundations.
