Awaken Chapter 72

Inside the guest room.

Xu Qingnian had basically sorted out all the things that had happened.

There was a Martial Emperor’s relic treasure hidden in Ping’an County.

What the treasure was, Xu Qingnian didn’t know yet.

But something that could make the White Cloth Sect care so much was naturally not bad.

Right now all sorts of information was at one’s fingertips.

Ming Yue Mountain was suspected to be like Wang Qiu Mountain.

One needed to cultivate the unusual art of One Yin and One Yang to open the treasure gate.

Now that he was practising the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, he also possessed the Tai Yin Pulse Condensing Technique, which met the conditions for opening.

So the trade-off is in one’s hands.

Take one step forward, and you can obtain the Martial Emperor’s legacy.

Take one step back, and let the waves rage.

Xu Qingnian was pondering, pondering over his future prospects.

Practising one supernatural art was so troublesome, what if one practised two supernatural arts?

Would there be other troubles?

This is a very fatal problem.

Although I have Confucianism’s Hao Rang Qi in my body, I have never heard of the saying that Confucianism suppresses the supernatural arts.

One can only know if one has tried it.

Perhaps there were other Confucian literati who tried it, but there is no documentation of it.

Come to think of it, it is unlikely that there were no Confucians in the Great Wei Dynasty who had practised the supernatural arts, and it is even likely that they had been tested accordingly.

But the probability of 99% is probably still death.

If practising Confucianism could suppress the demon seeds, all Confucian students would be practising the supernatural arts, after all, it would be too easy to gain power by practising the supernatural arts.

This is what Xu Qingnian has been worried about.

It was true that the Golden Crow killing thought had been suppressed, but it had not completely disappeared.

So would cultivating another new supernatural art lead to new troubles?

It was also while Xu Qingnian was pondering that Sheriff Chen’s voice rang out.

“My lord, my subordinate has copied it.”

Sheriff Chen’s voice rang out, and Xu Qingnian did not turn around.

“Alright, just put it here, go back, remember to continue to conceal your identity, when the above gets the Martial Emperor’s relics, you will be credited with the first credit.”

Xu Qingnian spoke.

When the latter heard this, he was instantly excited.

“Thank you for your love, Lord Xu, I am leaving, if there is anything, your Excellency can come directly to my subordinates.”

Sheriff Chen was incredibly excited, but still tried hard to restrain himself.

Xu Qingnian did not reply, and the other party also had the sense to turn around and leave.

After Sheriff Chen left, Xu Qingnian continued to look out of the window.

After half a quarter of an hour, Xu Qingnian returned to his seat very calmly, not sure that Sheriff Chen had left straight away.

So instead of looking at the door rules directly, he pretended to be thoughtful and picked up a cup of tea and looked at the tea, but in reality his eyes fell on the door rules.

Seeing the door rules, Xu Qingnian then understood why Sheriff Chen was so frightened and uneasy.

There were not many rules of the White Cloth Sect, but each one of them was very cruel, and there were even inhumane punishments such as extracting the soul and devouring the heart by ten thousand snakes.

It was impossible to be unafraid of such cruel punishments.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Xu Qingnian could probably see the point.

There were not many levels in the White Cloth Sect.

And the designations were also very simple.

White Clothed Disciple, Green Clothed Deacon, Blue Clothed Helmsman, Purple Clothed Hall Master, and Red Clothed Sovereign.

Five ranks are divided, and there are subdivisions above Red Cloth, Protector, Heavenly King, Left and Right Envoy, Deputy Sect Master, and Sect Master.

Each has an exclusive token, and if you do not trust them when handing over, you can check the token to reveal your identity.

But the token was not drawn by Sheriff Chen, most likely he had never seen it before.

After all, it was too low-level, and at most, he had seen the deacon’s token.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian suddenly came up with a bold idea.

A rebel organisation like the White Cloth Sect was extremely cautious, and should be the type of organisation that would rather be caught than definitely not be taken out in one pot.

The advantage of this was that you couldn’t kill me in one breath.

But the disadvantage is that it is particularly troublesome to communicate with each other and requires a designated contact person.

The secret code changes once a month, and this alone is sometimes troublesome and the exchange of information is not smooth.

So could one not take advantage of the problem?

I don’t think it’s too high level to get a token, but a patriarch, right?

The patron saint is definitely a specific group of people, and the suzerain level is just right, with a lot of power.

The idea came up and made Xu Qingnian think about it for a long time.

It could be tried, but not risked.

It is possible to get a token and not take it out until the crisis is over.

When the time comes, you may be able to cheat your way through.

There is no other reason.

I’ll bet that you don’t know the Sovereign’s token.

Of course this is a matter to be noted down and not to be dealt with immediately.

The immediate thing to deal with is still a little.

Should I.

Cultivate the Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique?

This was a question that had Xu Qingnian torn.

The room was quiet, an hour later.

Xu Qingnian still hadn’t made a choice.

But he had made another choice.

To advance to the ninth rank.

It was.

One didn’t have much time left.

In a day or two at most, he would have to depart back to the Southern Yufu.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian put away all thoughts.

The matter of the Martial Emperor’s Legacy Treasure was put aside for now.

Let’s promote to the ninth rank first.

After making up his mind.

Xu Qingnian put on his bucket hat and left the inn.

“Sir, are you leaving today?”

The junior carrying a bag of medicinal herbs looked at Xu Qingnian and asked.

“En, what’s the matter?”

Xu Qingnian blandly returned.

“It’s nothing, just asking, take your time, sir.”

Xiao Er smiled.

Xu Qingnian didn’t say much, he just swept a glance at Xiao Er before turning around and leaving.

After leaving the inn.

Xu Qingnian did not stay in Ping’an County, and after moving away from 50 miles away, he found a place in the wilderness and sat cross-legged.

Enter the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature.

Xu Qingnian found Chaoge directly.

“Brother Chao Ge, I want to enter the ninth rank today.”

Xu Qingnian opened the door and explained his intention.

Inside the Palace of Literature.

Chao Ge evolved into his original body, and without any nonsense, he spoke directly.

“Yes, you can, first embody your flesh, invoke the Golden Crow killing thought at the critical moment, let it grow, and when the time is ripe, I will cooperate with you to suppress the killing thought.”

“By then, you will be able to condense the Flawless Great Sun Sacred Body and advance to the ninth grade again.”

Chao Ge nodded, supporting Xu Qingnian’s advancement to the ninth rank.

“Good! I’ll trouble Brother Chao Ge.”

With these words from Chao Ge, Xu Qingnian settled his mind.

Without any nonsense, he directly left the Wen Palace.

After returning to reality, Xu Qingnian began to run the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique.

The complete version of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique was indeed far stronger than the neutered version.

As he ran the technique, the Golden Crow Qi and blood in his body instantly stirred, and as the Golden Yang bathed his body, a constant stream of pure Yang power poured into his body.

The flesh continued to metamorphose and every drop of blood was parched beyond measure.

It was a full hour later.

Finally, when his fleshly body reached its most perfect state, Xu Qingnian released his killing thoughts, no longer suppressing them.

“New!”

A sharp and incomparable sound rang out, and in the middle of his mind, a three-legged golden crow flew out from within the Palace of Literature.

The golden crow leapt and transformed into a round of golden sun, blossoming with a ten thousand-foot light.

The blazing light made Xu Qingnian extremely uncomfortable, and a terrifying killing thought spread out in his mind.

The taste was unbearable.

“Don’t suppress it! Let it metamorphose.”

At this moment, Chao Ge’s voice rang out, telling himself not to suppress the Golden Crow.

Xu Qingnian took a deep breath and could only fight it with his will.

What was good was that the Confucian Dao was of the eighth grade and the Hao Rang Qi in his body protected him, otherwise he might have had to lose his mind just for the moment when the Golden Crow came out.

Above the Palace of Literature.

This Golden Crow kept metamorphosing.

Its aura instantly skyrocketed to the ninth grade.

As the killing thoughts grew thicker and thicker, the Golden Crow’s Qi and blood were all eaten away by it, and an hour later, it skyrocketed to the eighth grade.

Xu Qingnian inexplicably had a feeling that he had cultivated the Golden Crow Tempering Technique and condensed so much Golden Crow Qi and Blood, as if it was all stored for it.

If he stored enough, this Golden Crow could break through to the first grade in a very short period of time.

Of course the prerequisite was that Xu Qingnian had so much qi blood.

Theoretically it was impossible.

“Is it ready?”

In the wilderness, Xu Qingnian’s body trembled slightly as terrifying thoughts of killing spread into his head, eroding his willpower, the Golden Crow’s eighth grade, causing an almost irresistible thought to arise in him.

If he continued to let it grow, Xu Qingnian was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

“Wait a little longer!”

Chao Ge’s voice rang out, and Xu Qingnian could only grit his teeth and hold on.

Half an hour later.

Xu Qingnian’s body was drenched in sweat, his gaze turned blood red with just a hint of will, and the most terrifying thing was that Xu Qingnian’s entire body was suffused with a golden glow, as if it was gold-plated.

“Newsflash!”

With another hissing sound, the Golden Crow that had transformed into a sun revealed its original form.

Spreading its wings a hundred feet, every feather on its body appeared to be incomparably sharp, its colour was like that of gold casting, and its pair of eyes were even more trembling.

“Still not making a move?”

At this moment, Xu Qingnian asked Chao Ge with almost his last ounce of willpower, feeling like he was completely about to be a*similated.

In the middle of his mind was a monstrous killing intent, wanting to kill someone right now, a feeling as if a million ants were gnawing at him, a mental torture.

“Bear with it a little longer! It’s almost done.”

Chao Ge was also a little anxious, but he was not harming Xu Qingnian, rather he wanted Xu Qingnian to take one step forward and directly condense the Perfect Great Sun Saint Body.

Finally, at this very moment, Xu Qingnian’s will collapsed and the Golden Crow’s aura skyrocketed to the Great Perfection of the Eighth Grade.

At this moment, the Golden Crow came to kill, wanting to completely take over Xu Qingnian’s will.

“Do it!”

Chao Ge’s voice, like a great yellow bell, shouted Xu Qingnian, who had already collapsed, awake.

In an instant, but Xu Qingnian ran the Golden Crow Tempering Technique and began to chant the words of the sage in his heart, his vast qi transforming into an immortal sword and slaying towards the Golden Crow.

The Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature trembled as the magnificent and incomparable holy words resounded out, transforming into a limitless mountain and suppressing this Golden Crow to death.

“New!”

An extremely miserable scream rang out.

Under the triple blow, this three-legged Golden Crow instantly collapsed and turned into a bit of golden light, part of which was lost into the Demon Atlas of the Palace of Literature, and part of which was lost into Xu Qingnian’s body.

“Shape the body!”

Chao Ge shouted once again.

Xu Qingnian, who had just come to her senses, could not even breathe a sigh of relief before she immediately began to shape her body.

The dots of golden light were the Golden Crow divinity, the key to shaping the Great Sun Sacred Body.

As the Golden Crow divinity entered her body.

Xu Qingnian’s physique instantly began to change dramatically.

First was the blood, which was originally red, but at this moment formed a golden colour.

Then came the bones, all the bones in his body were coated with a layer of gold.

The five internal organs did not change colour, but they all underwent an extreme transformation.

The heart beats like a war drum.

The kidneys provide a constant flow of essence, and the state is perfect at all times.

And from the outside, Xu Qingnian appeared to be enveloped in a layer of golden light.

His physique was metamorphosing, undergoing an incredible metamorphosis.

Little by little, time pa*sed.

A full two hours later.

Everything glowed inward, and this moment had an unprecedented feeling of pleasure coming over it.

Boom!

Xu Qingnian waved his hands around, emitting a low booming sound.

What was even more terrifying was that when Xu Qingnian waved his hands, there was a Qi around them.

This was internal Qi!

Only the ninth grade of Pulse Condensation could do this, yet Xu Qingnian had not stepped into the Pulse Condensation realm, yet he had produced ‘Qi’.

If one were to say that Xu Qingnian was at the tenth grade of great perfection before.

Then at this moment, Xu Qingnian felt that he could blast ten of his own Fang just now with one punch.

The Great Sun Sacred Body.

Forged.
