Chapter 653: Refining the Purple Qi into the Spirit Temple

"Purple Great Guardian? And a Superior Grade one at that?"

Hu Ma was still reeling from his victory over Zhou Family's Fourth Miss and the consumption of numerous evil ghosts.

He could distinctly feel that his body seemed to have gained a lot of new substances, which he had yet to digest. They would occasionally cause trouble, but upon hearing Long Jing Senior's words, he was slightly startled and quickly glanced at the large cauldron. Inside, there seemed to be nothing tangible, only a constantly shifting purple qi.

The purple qi was clearly an intangible entity, yet it gave off a sense of viscosity and heaviness. As one approached, various illusions would appear.

This feeling was indescribably strange. In the Netherworld, everything was light and ethereal, but this strand of purple qi gave off a sense of weight, as if it were heavier than a mountain in the Yang World.

"Did you realize this after your encounter with the Zhou Family?"

Long Jing Senior also gazed into the cauldron and slowly said, "The capabilities of the Ten Surnames are indeed formidable."

"Compared to twenty years ago, their progress has been astonishing."

"They inherited everything in this world and worked diligently. They have turned the skills of various sects into their own."

"If you hadn't learned the Laojun Mei technique and merely followed the path of the New Year Guardian like an ordinary person, it's easy to see that you would have had almost no chance of standing on the same level as the Zhou Family. Your greatest achievement would have been becoming a Zhou Family slave, earning their favor and recognition."

"This is the height of the Ten Surnames. They have taken everything and continue to expand without rest!"

"The other nine surnames may be different from the Zhou Family, but they are more or less the same. Their high status didn't come out of thin air; they stole from everyone in the world to reach such heights."

"..."

As he spoke, he gently extended his hand, lightly caressing the rim of the cauldron, and said in a low voice, "Only the reincarnates can truly challenge their might. No matter how vast this world is, it has its limits. As long as there is a limit, it cannot contain the ambitions of the Ten Surnames."

"If they want to break through this limit, they must achieve immortality."

"And we, the reincarnates, are divine incarnations destined to suppress the Ten Surnames."

"..."

Hu Ma suppressed the surging emotions within him, as well as the evil ghosts causing chaos in his body, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean by that?"

"If you borrow the Purple Great Guardian, you'll understand what I'm saying."

Long Jing Senior looked down at the purple qi swirling within the cauldron and said softly, "After we lost to the Ten Surnames twenty years ago and the State Preceptor went into hiding, they took control of all the Purple Great Guardians in the world."

"Unfortunately, even though it fell into their hands, they couldn't master its techniques. They could only manage superficial transformations or use it to refine themselves into demonic entities..."

"Although we are considered malevolent spirits, only we truly understand how to utilize the Purple Great Guardian."

"Because..."

He slowly began to speak, and a hint of sentiment seemed to appear on his face, "The Purple Great Guardian is the incense offering of our Life Spirit Temple."

"What?"

Hu Ma was genuinely surprised, but deep down, he felt that it wasn't that strange.

This news was unexpected for Hu Ma, who had been avoiding the Purple Great Guardian, but upon further reflection, it seemed only natural.

"Yes, yes..."

Before Long Jing Senior could respond, Hu Ma continued, "I've seen the ancestors of the Meng Family and some so-called immortals, but in reality, they've only become demonic and bizarre. They even regarded the Purple Great Guardian as the most impure and filthy thing."

"However, the only person I've seen who came into contact with the Purple Great Guardian and didn't encounter any problems was a fellow reincarnate..."

"He even used the Purple Great Guardian to strengthen his Life Spirit Temple."

"..."

As he spoke, Hu Ma's heart stirred with excitement. Long Jing Senior, standing next to him, suddenly had a peculiar expression, "Strength...strengthened?"

"Yes..."

Hu Ma, who was still excited, paused slightly and turned to Long Jing Senior, "Is that not right?"

Long Jing Senior looked at him, seemingly exasperated, and Hu Ma thought he saw him roll his eyes...

"Using gold to line a toilet, is that right?"

Long Jing Senior replied with annoyance, "The Purple Great Guardian should be used to refine your Dao practices!"

"Refine your destiny!"

"The correct way to use it is to sit high in your Life Spirit Temple, absorbing the purple qi. The more purple qi you absorb, the greater the transformation of your Life Spirit Temple. Starting with your life incense, once it is imbued with purple qi and turns purple, it can be used to forge your golden body."

"Let's not talk about how your golden body is formed. Just imagine what your abilities would be like if all three pillars of your life incense were purple?"

"..."

"Ah..."

Long Jing Senior's explanation was like a thunderclap in Hu Ma's mind.

Absorbing the purple qi, refining the life incense, and forging the golden body...

He couldn't even begin to imagine the earth-shattering changes that would occur. After a long pause, he said with a bitter expression, "Senior, what you're saying is incredible, but I've never seen this thing before, and I really don't know how to do it..."

"If you know how to eat, you should know how to do this!"

Long Jing Senior furrowed his brows, looking exasperated, "No, who is that brilliant person who used the Purple Great Guardian to strengthen their Life Spirit Temple?"

"I've never seen a Purple Great Guardian, but surely you've seen the white, green, red, and gold ones. Hasn't he ever tried to refine his divine soul? Once the divine soul is refined, the first thing affected by the Purple Great Guardian would be your life incense. It's as if it's a natural talent. I can't believe he..."

"..."

"It's not really his fault..."

Hu Ma's sullen mood made him feel a little uneasy, and he whispered, "It's just that this thing is so rare. It's almost impossible to find it in the mortal realm, and even if it exists, it's all occupied by the Ten Surnames. Few have heard of it, and even fewer have had the opportunity to try it."

Long Jing Senior sighed and shook his head, "No wonder they sent someone like you, who has entered the mansion, to kill me."

"I suppose there aren't many of you reincarnates who have ascended the bridge."

"..."

"Hmm?"

Hu Ma was taken aback and said, "How do you know that?"

"The Purple Great Guardian is invisible in the mortal realm because it is the embodiment of the world and the weight of heaven and earth."

Long Jing Senior calmly explained, "Only in the netherworld can you catch a glimpse of its concrete shadow. And if you want to find this object, you must ascend the bridge."

"The abilities that mortals learn in the mortal realm reach their peak when they enter the mansion. Only by ascending the bridge can one enter the netherworld. The further you go on the bridge, the more likely you are to come into contact with the Purple Great Guardian. If there aren't many reincarnates who understand the Purple Great Guardian, it's because not many have ascended the bridge."

"In these past few years..."

As he spoke, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he was getting angrier and about to scold someone.

Fortunately, he managed to hold it in and didn't blurt out insults like the Great Red Robe. Instead, he sighed helplessly, "It's all because we didn't handle that matter twenty years ago well enough, and it scared you..."

"Well... Senior, there's no need to blame yourself..."

Hu Ma reluctantly offered some consolation, but the feeling of expansion and suppression within his body was becoming harder to suppress.

Instinctively, he raised his hand and saw that beneath his arm, there seemed to be something swimming by, and even a bump had formed, faintly revealing the facial features of a person, which was extremely bizarre.

His heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized that this was the thing he had just swallowed when he manifested his divine form. Now, it was causing trouble within his body.

"You've taken on someone else's karmic consequences; it's too heavy, and you're about to reach your limit."

Long Jing Senior glanced at him and suppressed his displeasure. With a light sigh, he said, "However, with the Purple Great Guardian here, there's no need to worry. This is a perfect opportunity for you to experience the power of the Purple Great Guardian and share it with others!"

As he spoke, he circled the large pot and took a few steps to stand before Hu Ma.

Suddenly, he flicked his wide sleeve, sending a wisp of purple qi directly towards Hu Ma's face. At the same time, he said calmly, "Cultivate, and enter the soul!"

Hu Ma's heart skipped a beat at the sight.

He knew that although Long Jing Senior spoke at a leisurely pace, that was his style. But right now, it was a critical moment, and the Meng Family's grandmaster and Zhao Family's third elder might be on their way back.

The other things he had swallowed earlier were fine, but Zhou Jia Sigu's divine form jade vessel was a bit overwhelming. It felt like it was trying to tear his divine soul apart from within. Every moment they delayed increased the danger.

If it were someone else teaching him how to refine the Purple Great Guardian, he would have tested and hesitated a bit.

But when it came from Long Jing Senior, a fellow reincarnate...

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Then, he suddenly formed a hand seal, closed his eyes slightly, and allowed the Purple Great Guardian to approach.

There's always a moment when one must make a decision in a very short time. This was a risky move for him, but he felt it was worth the gamble as a reincarnate.

Instantly, he felt as if a mountain had crashed into him. The indescribable vast power suddenly surged into his divine soul, suppressing the disturbances within his body in an instant.

Even his physical body felt like it was about to be torn apart and shattered, but he also remembered Long Jing Senior's words and immediately began to cultivate, guiding the purple qi into his body.

"I was a celestial in my temple, but I fell into the mortal realm. In my carefree life, I seek a tranquil heart."

"..."

Long Jing Senior's voice resonated as he also refined the purple qi, circling around Hu Ma, gently tapping on his major acupoints, guiding him step by step. The cultivation process seemed to accelerate a hundredfold as the purple qi roared into his body.

In that instant, Hu Ma felt a bit dazed, and as his divine soul stabilized, he sank into his Life Spirit Temple.

Inside his Life Spirit Temple, the surrounding dark red mist was now beginning to turn purple.

Strands of purple qi surged, and even the life incense on the incense burner began to take on the purple hue.
