Chapter 211: The Power of Multicolored Spirit Energy! The Terrifying Consumption!

Chapter 211: The Power of Multicolored Spirit Energy! The Terrifying Consumption!

Su Changqing didn't know how it happened.

About three days ago, he had always felt a special pull coming from the southwest direction.

"This sensation seems harmless and even a little familiar."

After examining it, Su Changqing's face showed confusion, "It's like the fluctuations of the Four Arts of Immortals?"

Due to the distance, the sensation was faint, and he wasn't entirely sure.

"Changqing, how is my handwriting?"

Before Su Changqing could think much, a gentle and laughter-filled voice suddenly echoed in the pavilion.

A woman in a purple dress, with a face so beautiful it could make one lose their soul, approached Su Changqing with a cheerful smile.

This person was none other than Immortal Half Dream, who had come to study calligraphy.

Of course, whether she was truly here for calligraphy lessons was a matter of interpretation.

"It's passable, much better than last time."

Su Changqing took the written poem, carefully examined it, and nodded.

But before Immortal Half Dream could even smile, he frowned and said, "It's still terrible!"

"The carving of the font is too obvious, too mechanical. It's like a skilled craftsman's work, but it's excessive."

"The true 'intention' should be spontaneous, arising from the heart, moving the mind, and then flowing through the brush."

Since he had promised to teach Immortal Half Dream the essence of 'intention,' Su Changqing took every lesson seriously.

In his opinion, if he had agreed to the deal, he should fulfill it.

At this moment, Immortal Half Dream didn't know if she was listening or not.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Su Changqing's serious side profile with a furrowed brow, her eyes shimmering with a dreamy expression, as if lost in thought.

"Hey, do I have something on my face?"

Noticing Immortal Half Dream's gaze, Su Changqing paused and said helplessly.

"No, you don't."

Immortal Half Dream's face turned slightly red, and she quickly averted her eyes, shaking her head.

After these few days of interaction, she felt like she had fallen even deeper.

Only by truly understanding the man before her could she realize how captivating he was.

Gentle, patient, and as refined as jade...

He was like a scholar straight out of a painting, standing right in front of her.

At this moment, Immortal Half Dream's heart truly fluttered.

"Why don't you practice some more? You should be close to breaking through the level of 'intention.'"

Seeing Immortal Half Dream's dazed expression, Su Changqing spoke up.

"Anyway, since you're close to breaking through, there's no rush."

Immortal Half Dream looked at Su Changqing and blinked, "How about I teach you the Soul Devouring Art?"

"Your Spirit Seed is extraordinary, and your cultivation technique is the Perfect Spirit Acupoint. In the future, you'll need to absorb a lot of spirit energy to break through."

"This art might help you a great deal."

Although Immortal Half Dream was stating the truth, she wouldn't tell Su Changqing that she also wanted to experience being a teacher.

"You're always so serious when teaching, and you keep a stern face."

"This time, I'll also take on the role of a strict teacher."

Immortal Half Dream muttered to herself, looking at Su Changqing with a smile in her eyes.

At this moment, if an outsider were to see Immortal Half Dream acting so girlish, the filter of a goddess might instantly shatter.

Only two people in the world had ever seen her like this: Immortal Lotus and Su Changqing.

"Sky Devouring Art?"

Su Changqing was taken aback, and then his face showed realization.

The secret art he had traded with Immortal Half Dream seemed to have this name.

However, he had been busy lately and hadn't had time to study it.

"That's good. The spirit energy in my body is indeed too thin. It's a good opportunity to cultivate."

Su Changqing nodded, sat cross-legged, and took out the Sky Devouring Art.

This cultivation technique wasn't complicated, but it was profound.

It could gather spirit energy in the Dantian, creating an effect similar to a Spirit Gathering Array, but even more extraordinary.

It allowed cultivators to absorb spirit energy faster and convert it more efficiently.

"Hmm? This art is quite powerful."

After a quick browse, Su Changqing's face showed surprise.

It was powerful, and this art seemed similar to the 'Spirit Devouring' needle technique.

One devoured primordial energy, while the other devoured spirit energy; they were similar in concept.

"Of course, this is a technique passed down by the Immortal Sage Emperor."

Immortal Half Dream smiled at his words, and then as if remembering something, she coughed twice, her face turning serious.

"Although this technique is simple, it's difficult to cultivate."

"First, you need to control the spirit energy within your body and gather it into a simple vortex in the Dantian."

"This step requires extremely precise control over spirit energy. Even I, back then, spent two to three..."

Immortal Half Dream assumed a teacher's posture, her hands behind her back, ready to increase the difficulty for Su Changqing.

However, Su Changqing listened attentively, nodding continuously, and then closed his eyes.

After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, he opened his eyes, and a multicolored light flashed in his eyes.

Su Changqing's fingertips formed intricate seals, and he opened his palm, revealing a small, colorful vortex within.

His clear gaze turned towards Immortal Half Dream, and he asked, "Is this how it's done?"

"Hmm? What?"

Immortal Half Dream unconsciously nodded, but then her expression froze, and she stared at Su Changqing's vortex in confusion.

What? It's done already?

She had just started explaining, and before she could finish her sentence, he had already mastered the technique?

"What were you saying about your experience?" Su Changqing asked curiously, playing with the vortex in his palm.

"It's nothing." Immortal Half Dream stiffly waved her hand, her attempt to assert her teacher's authority crumbling instantly.

She stared at Su Changqing for a long time before finally asking, "You succeeded on your first try?"

"What else could it be?" Su Changqing gave her a strange look, "It's all recorded in ancient texts, and you even shared your experience."

"If I couldn't even master it after that, how stupid would I be?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and turned to Immortal Half Dream, whose face had darkened slightly, and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I wasn't referring to your calligraphy practice."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but now Immortal Half Dream clenched her small fist, and three black lines appeared on her forehead.

"This is just the first step!" she said through gritted teeth. "After the vortex forms, you need to condense twelve vortexes and arrange them in a reverse order according to the secret method to form a whirlpool."

"The whirlpool's rotation generates a powerful suction force, quickly absorbing external spirit energy into the body."

As Su Changqing listened, he recalled the ancient texts' descriptions, and his eyes lit up with understanding.

His fingertips formed intricate seals, and one by one, multicolored vortexes condensed. Within moments, all twelve vortexes appeared.

Then, in a peculiar arrangement, the twelve vortexes intertwined and collided.

A faint whistling sound accompanied the appearance of a rapidly spinning multicolored vortex within Su Changqing's dantian.

The faint sound of wind rose from the pavilion, and the dense spiritual energy of the Immortal Spirit Sect quickly gathered.

Immortal Half Dream, witnessing this scene, stood there with her mouth agape.

Su Changqing, seemingly oblivious, deepened his understanding, muttering to himself, "The vortexes form a whirlpool, increasing the suction force tenfold. What if the whirlpool is further stacked?"

This time, without Immortal Half Dream's guidance, Su Changqing's fingertips danced with seals, summoning vortex after vortex.

When another whirlpool condensed and merged with the first one—

Boom!

The whirlpool instantly doubled in size, and its powerful suction force stirred up gusts of wind.

The already rapidly converging spiritual energy now rushed in, visible even to the naked eye.

"Is stacking the core of this secret technique?" Su Changqing's face broke into a smile as he said, "I understand now."

With a flick of his fingers, he manipulated the seals, causing the vortexes to collide and merge, continuously expanding the whirlpool within him.

"In such a short time, he has completely mastered the core of the Soul Devouring Art?" Immortal Half Dream was dumbfounded.

She knew Su Changqing had exceptional comprehension, but she never imagined it would be this terrifying.

Read the flawless version at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar, the first to publish this novel.

She had only given him a few pointers, and now Su Changqing had independently deduced the core principle?

"So, I really am that stupid," she thought, recalling Su Changqing's helpless gaze when he first taught her calligraphy.

At that time, she had boasted about her genius, feeling like a prodigy.

But compared to Su Changqing—no, there was no comparison.

"No wonder he always calls me stupid. Compared to you, is there anyone intelligent in this world?" Immortal Half Dream conceded.

She had wanted to enjoy the role of a teacher, but instead, she was struck by another blow.

Although it was just a brief moment, she realized a profound truth.

Being Su Changqing's teacher might be the most fulfilling yet unfulfilling role.

Boom!

As Immortal Half Dream's thoughts wandered, a storm began to swirl around Su Changqing.

From above, a massive spiritual energy vortex had formed above the pavilion.

The vortex snaked downward, like a dragon drawing water, connecting with Su Changqing's body.

A torrent of spiritual energy poured into him, visibly enhancing his aura.

Within Su Changqing's dantian, the whirlpool had vanished, replaced by a colorful tornado emitting a terrifying suction force. It devoured the incoming spiritual energy like a gaping abyss.

The spiritual energy from the surroundings, after being rapidly transformed by the vortex, turned into strands of vibrant multicolored spirit energy, flowing into Su Changqing's meridians.

This violent infusion of spiritual energy would likely cause an ordinary person to explode within moments.

However, Su Changqing's Spirit Seed was too powerful, possessing a 12th-grade Qinglian Spirit Source of terrifying quality.

If superior Spirit Energy required ten strands of spiritual Qi to transform into a single strand, then supreme Spirit Energy would need a hundred strands, and flawless Spirit Energy would require a thousand! But for Su Changqing's Spirit Source to transform into a single strand of multicolored Spirit Energy, it needed the condensation of tens of thousands of strands of spiritual Qi! This was the horrifying difference in 'quality'.

The stronger the Spirit Seed, the more resources it consumed.

For a Spirit Source like Su Changqing's, which surpassed the Spirit Seed level, the required resources were enough to make one's scalp go numb.

However, the same was true for Su Changqing.

Although he consumed a lot of resources, his combat power would also increase terrifyingly.

For example, if we don't consider factors like secret techniques and Daoist methods.

When Su Changqing unleashed a strand of multicolored Spirit Energy, even a flawless Spirit Seed Celestial Talent would need to use ten times the amount of Spirit Energy to counteract it! This was a natural, enormous gap.

At the very least, before reaching the Monarch Realm, the strength of one's Spirit Energy directly correlated with their combat power.

Especially in the Divine Form Realm, the quality of the Spirit Energy used to construct the Divine Form ultimately determined its quality.

"If he cultivates to the Divine Spirit Peak, how many resources will he consume?"

For the first time, Changqing felt a direct and terrifying sense of the power of his Spirit Source.

His Divine Spirit Realm cultivation was different from ordinary cultivation; he needed to perform Meridian Convergence.

He could only drive the Spirit Energy to devour the second acupoint after filling the first one.

In other words, he needed to fill 365 acupoints to reach the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm.

Su Changqing glanced at his Dantian acupoint, which had barely accumulated three-tenths of the multicolored Spirit Energy, and then looked at the terrifying spiritual Qi storm outside, falling silent.

In the Immortal Spirit Sect, where the spiritual Qi was so dense, and with the assistance of the Emperor's secret Soul Devouring Art, it had already been half a day, and his first Dantian acupoint had barely accumulated three-tenths.

Su Changqing could almost imagine that in the coming days, he would likely have to run around for resources.

...

However, just as Su Changqing was worrying about future resources, in the attic, Immortal Half-Dream witnessed the massive spiritual Qi vortex outside, leaving her speechless with shock.

She had never seen such an exaggerated cultivation scene in all her life.

At that moment, Immortal Lotus's figure suddenly appeared beside Immortal Half-Dream.

She looked at Su Changqing, who was at the center of the spiritual Qi vortex, her mouth twitching and her eyes twitching.

"Is he using the Soul Devouring Art?"

"Mhm."

"When did he learn it, and how did he become so skilled? How many times did he add whirlpools to achieve this?"

"I personally taught him today."

Immortal Lotus stiffened, slowly turning to look at Immortal Half-Dream, wondering if she had heard wrong.

Could someone achieve such a level on their first attempt at cultivating a Spirit Art?

And was it personally taught by Dream?

"Mother,"

Immortal Half-Dream looked at Immortal Lotus, seemingly confused, and said, "I don't understand how Changqing's whirlpool can be so condensed."

She also cultivated the Sky Devouring Art, but she knew she was far from Su Changqing's level.

"His Spirit Energy is very strong, not just ordinary strong."

Immortal Lotus looked at Su Changqing's Dantian, her eyes momentarily heavy with seriousness, "Even compared to your flawless Spirit Energy, his is far superior."

Immortal Half-Dream gasped in surprise at these words.

The world's strongest flawless Spirit Seed was still far inferior to this multicolored Spirit Energy?

What level was Su Changqing's Spirit Seed, then?

"His Spirit Seed is very unique, extremely harmonious with the heavens and earth's spiritual Qi, and it transforms spiritual Qi at an incredibly fast rate."

"Moreover, Changqing's physique is too strong."

Immortal Lotus couldn't help but exclaim, "Among those of the same realm, his physique almost surpasses the limit, capable of enduring immense pressure."

"That's why, even with such a massive influx of Spirit Energy, he doesn't explode."

She paused, then sighed,

"The extreme strength of his special Spirit Energy, combined with his incredibly robust physical body and the characteristics of the Soul Devouring Art..."

"All these factors together make Changqing's Spirit Energy devouring speed so terrifying."

"Furthermore, as his strength grows, the Soul Devouring Art in his hands might even break through the creator's limits."

Immortal Half-Dream, upon hearing this, looked at Su Changqing in astonishment.

Break the creator's limits? That's surpassing the Immortal Sage Emperor!

"This is a true Celestial Talent."

Immortal Half-Dream stared at Su Changqing for a long time before sighing in admiration.

"Even a Celestial Talent struggles with the Beauty Barrier."

Immortal Lotus, hearing this, smiled and said, "If you can capture Little Changqing, you'll be this generation's Empress!"

"Compared to being an Empress,"

Immortal Half-Dream's beautiful eyes turned to Su Changqing, a smile on her face as she said,

"I want him!"
