Chapter 124: Breakthrough to Innate Realm, Twin Monsters Invade
"""
Throughout the entire cultivation process of the Dan Realm, everything revolved around the "Dan Ying."
The cultivation process of the Dan Realm was essentially a martial master using his own body as a blueprint, continuously absorbing the spiritual power from nature to grow the "Dan Ying," from a baby to a person.
When the "Dan Ying" grew into a "Dan People," infinitely approaching the cultivator's blueprint, it meant the achievement of Great Perfection in the Dan Realm.
At this realm, the older martial masters in the Dan Realm needed to nurture the "Dan Ying" to match their blueprint, which required several to even dozens of times more time and effort than younger cultivators, so the advantage of reaching the Dan Realm at a young age was significant.
If one failed to break through when young, it would be extremely difficult to do so when older.
At the moment, Shen Qing was only seventeen years old. He nurtured the "Dan Ying" from a baby to a person, thus spending much less time and effort.
However, he thought it would take at least two to three years, but unexpectedly, due to the Spirit Mechanism Land, the process was greatly accelerated, unexpectedly allowing him to break through already.
Shen Qing felt an uncontrollable excitement, joyful and pleasantly surprised.
In the Great Zhou Country, once someone reached the Innate Realm, even without holding an official position, one could dominate a region, establish a family line.
Not to mention that upon achieving the Innate Realm, one could fly with the wind, perceiving a broader world, holding an indescribable allure for many martial masters, a dream realm for martial masters.
Many martial masters cultivated for decades or even hundreds of years without reaching it. Experience new stories on empire
Shen Qing took a deep breath, exhaling a few times to calm his heart and focus entirely, wanting to push through to the Innate Realm in one go.
He slowly closed his eyes, observing the changes in his Qi Sea with inner sight, his mind clear and serene.
With every breath, white air streamed out, colorful whirlpools surrounded him, the spiritual energy in the Spirit Mechanism Land refined by the Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique, converting into pure essence entering his body.
With his eyes closed, Shen Qing saw that the "Dan Ying" inside him, after countless days and nights of tempering, was no longer as tiny and immature as before. It had transformed into a lifelike "Dan People," its appearance indistinguishable from his true self, containing extraordinarily pure spirit essence.
Clearly, the time to break through to the Innate Realm had matured, and the next step was to merge the "Dan People" with his flesh, reshaping his physical body.
At a single thought from Shen Qing, the majestic "Dan People" in his Qi Sea ascended slowly, being drawn upward by his divine sense, expanding.
It seemed as if this "Dan People" was infinitely "approaching" his physical body from the void.
As the "Dan People" gradually "approached" his physical body, his entire Qi Sea trembled, a powerful and ancient aura spread, his entire body's spiritual power operated frantically.
Shen Qing's mind shivered violently, his spirit tightened like iron, his skin turned scorching hot.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, evaporated instantly by the surface temperature.
Shen Qing dared not get distracted, focusing entirely, gradually merging with the "Dan People."
As time passed, the "Dan People" in his Qi Sea broke free from the void, touching Shen Qing's flesh.
At the moment of contact, the surrounding spiritual energy boiled with this incredible fusion, rushing into his body like rivers joining the sea, intertwining with the "Dan People."
Under Shen Qing's skin, light flowed faintly.
At this moment, every drop of blood, every bone, and even every inch of skin on Shen Qing's body underwent unprecedented transformation and rebirth.
The process was not as grueling as imagined; instead, it held a hint of comfort, as if after reaching the extreme, all spiritual power found an outlet to vent.
The fist-sized "Dan People" inflated rapidly to the size of Shen Qing's true form, so much that a vestige of a phantom faintly appeared behind him.
"Boom!"
With a long and deep rumble, the phantom merged with the physical body, the pure spirit essence contained in the "Dan People" fully merged into the flesh.
Shen Qing's body was reshaped, leaping from a mortal coil to an Innate Body, shedding the shackles of the mundane, becoming crystal-clear and immaculate, pure and powerful, like a newborn baby, achieving a qualitative metamorphosis.
Not only that, but due to the transformation into an Innate Body, internal life force greatly enhanced, increasing longevity by hundreds of years.
Shen Qing overflowed with joy.
He looked down and noticed the calluses on his hands from practicing archery had disappeared, becoming as smooth as jade, emitting a jade-like feel, leaving him somewhat incredulous.
Curious, Shen Qing began practicing familiar martial arts.
Boom!
An explosive sound echoed in Shen Qing's ears, abundant spiritual power surged out like a river merging into the sea, incessant and overwhelming.
With an immaculate Innate Body, he realized his perception and absorption ability of the spiritual energy from nature had reached a new level.
"I heard that the Innate Realm allows one to fly with the wind, riding the Rainbow Light, traveling a thousand miles in a day."
Shen Qing was quite intrigued, eager to try.
With a thought, golden-red light emerged around him, lifting him as if about to soar into the sky at any moment.
"This power, how wondrous!"
Shen Qing had never experienced such a sensation before, clicking his tongue in amazement.
Huang Furo, disturbed by Shen Qing's movements, turned to see Shen Qing enveloped in golden-red light, greatly surprised.
She blurted out, "You… did you break through to the Innate Realm?"
"Yes." Shen Qing gently nodded, cheerful, "I just gave it a try, fortunately succeeding."
"Gasp…"
Huang Furo gasped, unable to express in words the innate gift Shen Qing possessed for such cultivation.
Breaking through three Great Realms in two years, what kind of prodigy could achieve such a feat?
Her throat dried, words faltering.
Shen Qing explained nothing, glanced around, suppressing the urge to try, dissipating the glow around him, landing steadily on the ground.
He thought for a moment and still felt he should cultivate further in the Spirit Mechanism Land to seize the rare opportunity.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, two beams of Rainbow Light flew over from the distant sky, descending near the Spirit Mechanism Land.
Shen Qing's divine sense sharply detected them immediately, looking afar.
As the Rainbow Light faded in the distance, a man and a woman appeared.
They were Chang Junzi and Jiuli, two Great Demons.
The demon Chang Junzi licked his lips as if he sniffed a familiar scent, making a slight questioning noise.
"Hmm?"
"What is it?" The demon Jiuli frowned slightly, asking curiously.
The demon Chang Junzi flew a few steps forward, on seeing Shen Qing and Huang Furo alert, eyes coldly fixed on him, showing a peculiar expression.
"It really is them!"
Jiuli inquired in curiosity, "Do you know these two?"
"That day, these two woke me from hibernation; little did I expect they survived and even improved, appearing here," said the demon Chang Junzi as he recalled, "Well, such delicious food could become a snack."
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
