I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

The secret realm is inherently connected.

However, within it forms its own world, and wanting to navigate it while carefully avoiding all Demon Beasts to reach one's destination... Even an Upper Realm Returning Origin Grandmaster could never accomplish this.

During this time, Zhou Qianmo gained inspiration from Xu Lingjun, and although he didn't fully understand what the so-called Path of Cultivation entailed, he did manage to gain some insights from it. For instance, resonating his own being with the surrounding Spiritual Qi to make rudimentary use of the external Spiritual Qi.

He was far from being able to use this in combat.

But just to hide his own presence so that those Demon Beasts, with their keen sense of smell and powerful Spiritual Sense, wouldn't detect the human hiding within the Spiritual Qi was not difficult.

Even so, with Zhou Qianmo's strength, entering from the Bingshuang Forest of the Nanyun Martial Mansion, he had now reached an area closer to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

He crossed more than a thousand miles, taking him more than two months, during which he was exposed, attacked by Demon Beasts, and fled in a miserable state.

A dignified Upper Realm Grandmaster, yet the perils he faced were far beyond anything an ordinary person could imagine. There were so many times along the way when even he was on the brink of death...

But he persevered with the courage fueled by blood qi of vengeance, bravely enduring it all.

Zhou Qianmo didn't know whether Xu Lingjun was involved in the scheme against Zhou Mu, but he knew that Xu Lingjun was the person his son wanted to kill. If it weren't for him, his son might not have died.

He also participated in the battle against his son.

Even if his skills were minor, and as he himself said, he might have only been supporting from the sidelines, he might not have been directly responsible for his son's death.

But even so, it couldn't be tolerated...

Not a single one could be spared.

Wu Hongzhou had already returned to the Cuowu Sect, and since Han Yun City's status was special, he would first kill Xu Lingjun to let his son rest in peace.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qianmo quietly crouched atop a tree. At this moment, he no longer had the demeanor of a Grandmaster. In ragged, worn clothing paired with tangled, dirty hair, he resembled a wild man.

He quietly perched on the treetop, feeling the cold breath coming from afar, bringing coolness to his urgent heart and lungs, allowing his exhausted spirit to regain calmness.

This cold breath came from the Ice Snow Realm.

This proved he had not gone the wrong way and had indeed traversed a previously untraveled path from the Nanyun Martial Mansion all the way to the boundaries of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

Striving to resonate his aura with the surrounding Spiritual Qi, he became like a branch growing on the tree; with no breath, naturally, no Demon Beast could detect his presence. After thousands of miles of travel, he had already learned how to hide himself well.

In the depths of this secret realm, the weakest are Level 7 Demon Beasts.

While Level 8 and 9 demon beasts aren't everywhere, they're by no means few; the number is far from merely dozens. Moreover, Demon Beasts here divide territories, with Level 9 Demon Beasts occupying a vast area, which is then subdivided by Level 8 Demon Beasts. Single lands may belong simultaneously to several powerful Demon Beasts.

In such a land where dangers lurk in every corner, exposure would mean death, even for him.

Yet even so, his gaze was still fixed firmly on the distance.

There, a young Demon Beast, just over a meter long, was frolicking and playing.

A Level 8 Demon Beast, the Blood Flame Tiger, inherently encased in blazing blood flames, with a tough hide and thick flesh; even among Level 8 Demon Beasts, its strength is among the top three.

More importantly...

The Blood Flame Tiger is a rare Demon Beast that places extreme importance on its bloodline offspring.

Watching that Demon Beast, practicing hunting, completely unaware of the impending threat.

Zhou Qianmo's heart lit up with a cold smile.

Next, all that was needed was a chance.

"Old friend, I'm truly sorry this time."

He muttered.

Meanwhile, within the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion...

"Senior, I'm off."

"Be careful on your way."

"Yes."

By now, she'd been a student of Xu Lingjun for over two months.

Xu Lingjun was increasingly content with this student. Jun Qing was different from those other seductive wenches. No matter how many times Xu Lingjun exploited her, she seemingly always had abundant resources for him to extract.

In the entire two months, Xu Lingjun had gained nearly 2000 points of Source Value from her alone.

It was incredibly bountiful.

Thus, his attitude towards her grew increasingly amiable.

After getting to know each other, although Jun Qing still felt grateful towards Xu Lingjun, her manner was no longer as restrained as before, although the gratitude and attachment in her eyes were impossible to erase.

With her backpack, Jun Qing, along with the now larger Daxiong, headed toward the Miwu Ghost Forest.

Finally, the start of a new month brought her an opportunity to enter the secret realm again.

She was naturally eager to get going.

After seeing her off...

Xu Lingjun returned to his room, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Taking a deep breath, he continued cultivating to stabilize his own cultivation.

With the help of the Barrier-Breaking Pill, Xu Lingjun had finally broken through to the Profound Realm.

And using the blood qi power of the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, he quickly repaired any minor aftereffects...

He had truly stepped into the Profound Realm now.

Tier Four Student.

In just a little over a year since enrollment, Xu Lingjun already possessed the capability to apply for graduation.

In this time, he hadn't entered the secret realm again, nor did he attend many classes.

As his strength grew and with constant studying over the past year, his vision was no less broad than that of the instructors.

Hence, he spent this period slowly understanding the power he possessed.

Only by mastering every ounce of his power could he utilize it optimally in combat.

Especially with the breakthrough of the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique once again.

In Hui Chuan...

His Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique could forcibly use the True Qi that crashed into his body... It was because of this move that he gained significant benefits each time he sparred, akin to a Super Saiyan, able to gain victory through dangerous battles.

And with the breakthrough to the Profound Realm...

This ability received a substantial upgrade.

The absorption was no longer confined to the body but extended outside... Even the surrounding Spiritual Qi could be forcibly absorbed into the body.

In other words...

The current him could absorb both the surrounding Spiritual Qi and the True Qi dissipated by a strong enemy during battle, transforming them into the True Qi of the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique within himself, achieving infinite endurance.

If Han Yun City were to fight Xu Lingjun again, despite the Emperor Blood Heaven Slayer's strength, its dissipating blood qi would no longer be useful to him, as Xu Lingjun would forcibly absorb it immediately.

Thus...

The Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, as a Divine Demon Level Technique, truly exhibited its wondrous nature.

And it completely surpassed Supreme Level Techniques.

The mysteries of the Profound Realm were more than just this. Upon reaching this realm, one would reconstruct one's bones, qi, blood, meridians, and flesh.

Ninth Layer of the Profound Realm, each layer required vast amounts of Spiritual Qi to replenish the body's internal deficiencies, achieving a transformation.

But for Xu Lingjun...

The ability to directly absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi meant that his cultivation progression didn't slow with his rising strength; instead, it accelerated.

This was without even fighting strong enemies, otherwise, one battle might suffice to surpass a month's worth of hard cultivation.

Xu Lingjun couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"Ah, I really wish an opponent would come along, the stronger the better, someone who can challenge me—that would really be thrilling."
