Chapter 122 Stone Egg, Spiritual Regeneration
Wisps of black mist drifted from above Lü Qian's head, intertwining and surging among themselves, but under the glow of the crimson-gold light inside the golden hall, they dispersed into a cloud of black mist.
The demonic intent hidden within was refined by the creation within the Golden Palace, and the surging black mist ceased to take shape.
The black mist descended from above, gradually surrounding Lü Qian and transforming into layers of interwoven black gauze, enveloping him in the center.
Lu Qian sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and the [original spirit] in his Niwan Palace seemed to be born with spirituality under the baptism of lightning.
Dressed in a Taoist robe and carrying a sharp sword, its face, identical to Lü Qian's, had a pair of golden-red eyes that scanned everything within the Niwan Palace.
Crimson-gold flames shot from his eyes, instantly clearing away all the black mist in the Niwan Palace.
The once dark and gloomy Niwan Palace suddenly became dazzling and magnificent, reflecting the constantly flashing lightning, and the once clear and bright Lingtai became radiant and awe-inspiring.
Outside the [Primordial Spirit Form], runes formed from [Golden Gate and Jade Lock] flowed, like a cage trapping it inside.
"open!"
It held the sword in its left hand and extended its right hand, pointing towards the rune in front of it, and then pointed a finger at the dragon's head in front of it.
"Whoosh—"
With a single finger, the dragon-shaped rune that had been firmly attached to the [Primordial Spirit Form] instantly came to life, and the [Golden Gate and Jade Lock] transformed into a golden ribbon of runes, like a fluttering golden streamer.
The golden ribbons moved without wind, soaring and dancing in the Niwan Palace, their movements winding and powerful, truly resembling a flying dragon.
The ribbon flew around the Niwan Palace, absorbing the immortal crimson gold color of the Lingtai and the dazzling white lightning that constantly streaked across the sky, making its spirituality even more extraordinary.
It suddenly flew towards the [Primordial Spirit Form], golden ribbons swirling around the [Primordial Spirit Form], slowly moving and gradually settling on its shoulders, transforming into a thousand auspicious ribbons.
Like the auspicious cloud ribbons dancing in mid-air behind the statue.
At this moment, the [Primordial Spirit Form] became even more sacred. It opened its golden-red eyes, which were devoid of sorrow or joy. It held a sharp sword and wore a Taoist robe. It was full of divinity, yet it appeared ordinary, like a mortal. No, it was a mortal.
Divinity and humanity are perfectly combined in the [original spirit].
Divinity is the skin, while humanity is the bone.
After his mind became completely clear, Lü Qian finally had his own territory in this body, where there were no more demons.
The [Primordial Spirit Form], gleaming with golden light, flicked its wrist, and the sharp sword in its right hand was held horizontally in front of it. Its left hand swept across the sword, causing the golden blade to shine brightly.
"cut!"
Outside, as the [Primordial Spirit True Form] swung its hand in a slash, golden light shone brightly from between Lü Qian's eyebrows, spreading throughout his entire body in the blink of an eye.
The golden light was immortal and sharp, dispelling all the black mist surrounding him, but the next moment, the black mist emanating from all around him enveloped Lü Qian once again.
"boom!"
Inside the golden palace, crimson-gold flames rose up along with the lightning, scorching the nascent mist, refining it of its demonic intent, and transforming it back into ownerless black mist.
Wisps of black mist transformed into threads, weaving together to form a pitch-black cage, like a cocoon, enveloping Lü Qian within.
As the black mist continued to increase, the cocoon slowly took shape, resembling a giant stone egg.
The giant stone egg was 36.5 feet tall and 24 feet in diameter. Amidst the surging black mist, it revealed nine orifices and seven holes, from which golden light seemed to faintly emerge.
Inside the giant egg, Lu Qian, sitting cross-legged, continued to meditate inward. After the [Primordial Spirit Form] in his Niwan Palace unleashed a sword strike, it emitted specks of golden light, and the Qi that merged into Lu Qian's body circulated throughout the body.
A pale golden light flowed through Lü Qian's meridians and internal organs, and with the radiance shining upon and nourishing them, the flesh and bones that flowed through it seemed to be the land purified and nourished by spring rain.
Black mist constantly rises from these lands, which is the impurities that have been washed away, intertwining, churning, and then flying out of the body.
The radiance washed away the filth and impurities, and all that remains is a clap of thunder and a burst of true fire to revitalize these lands.
【Original Spirit】Standing in the Niwan Palace, one observes one's own body as if in the posture of a sage king. Under its perception, every part of this body seems to have been cleansed, leaving it without master or spirit.
Lü Qian's will is gone, and Duanmu Ying's will is no longer present.
But it also contains a vibrant spirit, like a bamboo shoot about to break through the soil and grow vigorously.
Outside, the churning black mist stopped increasing, and the thick, churning black energy transformed from illusion to reality, making the condensed stone egg incredibly real, like a real stone with holes.
On the stone, the nine orifices correspond to the orifices all over Lü Qian's body. With each breath he takes, bursts of golden light emerge from the orifices, standing out starkly against the blackness of the stone.
Among the soul, the spiritual platform is the most important. This is why Lü Qian, with the help of the Thunderfire Refining Palace, was the first to seize back the spiritual platform in the Niwan Palace and recreate his primordial spirit.
Among the physical body, the five internal organs are the most important: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Of these five, the heart is the most important, as it is the foundation of the human body.
The heart is also another place of spiritual practice for the divine, so to rejuvenate the physical body, one should start with the heart among the five internal organs.
The spirituality within the five internal organs slowly increased as it was nourished by the golden glow.
[Primordial Spirit True Form] transformed the sharp sword in his hand into a golden light and threw it downwards. The golden light, along with the Qi of the universe, came into [Heart].
The spirituality that had been slowly increasing in my heart suddenly burst into flames, as if it had encountered dry tinder. The spirituality within it increased rapidly, and the rhythm of my heartbeat became more vigorous and powerful.
The heart belongs to the element of fire in the Five Elements theory. As the fire in the heart burns fiercely, the other organs in the Five Elements theory also awaken their spirituality.
Fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, and wood generates fire; this is the principle of mutual generation of the five elements.
The heart in the chest beats more and more powerfully, and the blazing fire in the heart gradually reaches its peak. When it reaches its peak, it declines, and the excess fire settles down, turning into heavy earth that falls into the spleen below. Fire generates earth.
As the earth accumulates, the spirituality within the spleen also flourishes, as if the earth is shaking and the metal element hidden beneath the mountains is revealed, earth giving rise to metal.
Golden light shines upwards on the lungs, which belong to the metal element. After being nourished by the earth element of the spleen, the lungs become more vibrant and alive. As the golden light flashes, it seems as if drops of liquid are flowing within it, for metal generates water.
Drops of liquid gathered and surged in the golden light, and the accumulated golden liquid dripped onto the kidneys. The kidneys belong to water, and after being nourished by the golden liquid, their spirituality slowly accumulated and transformed into a deep spring.
The spring water kept gathering, gradually expanding and deepening, as if it were about to overflow the restraints of the kidneys.
The overflowing kidney water fell onto the liver, awakening its spirituality. However, the wood element here did not grow as vigorously as before. Instead, only a blurry green sprouted with the sparse spirituality, but it was still one step away from generating fire from wood.
The five elements generate each other, but the source is only one [heart fire]. Although the heart fire is vigorous, after going through the cycle of the four phases, it can no longer support the final transformation.
At the spiritual altar, the [Primordial Spirit True Form] stared with a furrowed brow at the [Wood] within the [Liver], whose power was gradually waning and shrinking, but it was somewhat helpless.
The element of wood is associated with growth and development. If the wood element lacks sufficient spirituality, it can only transform into a seed containing power, unable to grow into a towering forest capable of sustaining the five elements.
As the spiritual energy within Lü Qian's liver gradually waned, his breathing became increasingly shallow, and the golden light emanating from the orifices of the giant stone egg gradually faded, as if it were about to dissipate at any moment.
"Is it going to fail?"
In the void and emptiness, Lü Qian felt his soul and body gradually becoming sluggish, and the originally radiant [Primordial Spirit Form] in his Niwan Palace dimmed again.
"Kid, Lei's here!"
