Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Long Wei Qin Jin’s engraving stopped. At this moment. In the spiritual world, the illusions caused by the pressure of the python’s body completely dissipated. After he successfully engraved, the pressure contained here no longer had any effect on him. At the same time. A burning sensation came from the spiritual level, and Qin Jin clearly perceived that his spiritual power was surging like a tide, constantly increasing while undergoing some changes. His heart spirit fully immersed, Qin Jin comprehended his own changes, and at a certain moment, he moved his thoughts slightly, attempting to launch a spiritual-level attack. In that instant. The phantom of the Three-headed Exotic Python reappeared, permeating with an extremely cold aura, containing pressure. If at this moment, faced with those young members of the Martial Arts Family within the base, even if he held back, I’m afraid they would all directly faint under such pressure, unable to resist. The power is astonishing, and the consumption of spiritual power is quite remarkable. Qin Jin stopped the attack, and the Exotic Python disappeared. He opened his eyes, sensing his spiritual power. "My spiritual power seems to have undergone some kind of change." "Somewhat similar to the innate pressure of spirit, akin to the Dragon’s Might contained in this python corpse, yet combined with myself, showing some transformation." "Teacher Wen never mentioned this when explaining the Visualization Technique." Although Zhong Yi mentioned Wen Jinglun’s past, Qin Jin still has great faith in him. After all, he was the teacher who led him into martial arts, and being able to get into Wuyuan University signifies he had once had an extraordinary past. "Teacher Wen wouldn’t hide anything in this regard, which can only prove he also doesn’t know about this." "After all, he is merely at the Condensation Realm." "In this view, it can only be because of this Exotic Python." Qin Jin’s gaze focused on the ice sculpture: "Perhaps because its own level is so high, it allowed me to have unique gains after visualizing." "As my spiritual power continues to grow, I wonder if this change will persist." "Perhaps one day, I won’t need to act, and like the Dragon Species creatures, I can rely on the pressure contained in myself to repel the enemy and control the enemy." In any world, Dragon Species creatures are outstanding among Extraordinary Creatures, extremely formidable. Thought flashed by. The panel appeared. Qin Jin’s gaze focused on a piece of information within. [Spiritual Index: 33.1] "The index directly broke through thirty points, the growth magnitude is enormous." Qin Jin’s eyes brightened. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 New Life realm martial artists, upon reaching a spiritual index of 40 points, can attempt to condense their Divine Intent. Once the Divine Intent is successful, they can step into the second realm of Martial Arts Family, the Condensation Realm! "Since I broke through the New Life realm to now, not much time has passed." "This is the significance of opportunity." Thinking of this, Qin Jin raised his head, looking at the two great suns in the sky. "Great Sun Golden Crow." "I wonder, at which realm can I visualize creatures of this level." "Like the Seventh Realm of Wuyuan Academy’s principal, is it possible." Confirming oneself, envisioning the future. That imaginable grand future is one of the motivations that inspire members of the Martial Arts Family to advance. Qin Jin started to get busy. In the Storage Space of the Deep Driller were stored some frozen python blood, the segmented python head, after being melted by Wish Power, still exuding astonishing cold. Carrying the python head, bringing the python blood. Qin Jin embarked on the return journey to the Sacrificial Fire Tribe. He sought all the way here, taking seven days to finally find this place. Now the route is determined, the speed of return is much quicker. Along the way, Qin Jin did not encounter any Fierce Beasts. Though the python is dead, its residual might remains, the pressure contained in this python head causes passing Fierce Beasts to shy away. ... The next day. Within the base. Qin Jin arrived early, started cultivation under Su Chaotang’s guidance. The base didn’t set residences, other young members of the Martial Arts Family also need to rush from their accommodations arranged in Xinyang District every morning, wandering in the wilderness, which is also a form of training. A Grandmaster Level member of the Martial Arts Family, teaching wholeheartedly, giving serious guidance, the gains are extremely remarkable. Under Su Chaotang’s guidance, Qin Jin gained new insights into the control of Life Energy and Spiritual Power. Cultivation knows no time. Three hours passed by in an instant. Square Bamboo kept waiting beside, ready to perform therapy for him. Qin Jin already inquired, this therapy uses secret medicine of great value, not only helping his recovery but also promoting the growth of Life Energy, nourishing the spirit. Seeing Su Chaotang preparing to leave, Qin Jin immediately spoke up. "Teacher Su." Su Chaotang turned back. Qin Jin quickly stepped forward: "I have questions I want to ask." "Go ahead." Facing a Grandmaster, Qin Jin carefully chose his words, and said slowly: "Teacher Su, the growth of spiritual power, after the spiritual index meets the standard, can condense Divine Intent." "Then, in this process, apart from the numerical increase in spiritual power, will there be other changes or enhancements?" Upon hearing this, Su Chaotang gave Qin Jin a deep look. Qin Jin faced it calmly. What he asked about naturally concerned the changes in his own spirit. Since in the eyes of others, he is undoubtedly a genius, he might as well solidify that genius persona! The Great Wilderness is vast, containing countless treasures, and as he continually improves himself, his harvests in the Great Wilderness will increase, forming a cycle that becomes the resource for his rapid growth. Since this is the case, he might as well use his most fundamental talent to conceal other aspects. Don’t ask, the answer is: "You’re not a genius, you don’t understand." Moreover, his natural talent is indeed excellent. Facing Qin Jin’s composed expression, Su Chaotang nodded, "They will." "Cultivation on the spiritual level is the most unique and also the hardest to fathom." "Suppose there are two Martial Arts Families, identical in every basic condition, yet when visualizing the same Extraordinary Creature, they yield entirely different results." "And during the enhancement of spiritual power, a Martial Arts Family may experience other gains." He spoke eloquently, with a voice imbued with convincing strength: "So far, those recorded roughly divide into two directions." "One is mutation." "The other is characteristic." "Spiritual mutation can result in both good and bad outcomes." "Mutations in a bad direction will cause the Martial Arts Family’s spirit to decay, their spirit to diminish, and in severe cases, it may become irrecoverable, forcing them to say goodbye to the martial path." "Good directional mutations yield numerous gains, mostly manifesting as the Martial Arts Family’s realization of spirit assault, mental defense, and other techniques unique to themselves." "To compare, mutation involves the emergence of active abilities." "Characteristics, on the other hand, are passive abilities." He explained earnestly, "In the initial cultivation of spirit, everyone’s spiritual quality is the same, but during the cultivation process, some people’s spiritual power will exhibit special characteristics." "For example, some characteristics resemble frost in reality; when executing a spiritual attack, they can freeze the opponent’s thoughts and slow their reactions." "Some characteristics lean towards explosiveness, making spiritual attacks more rapid." "There are even people whose spiritual power has once exhibited [hallucinogenic] characteristics, making their attack techniques incredibly secretive." "So far, the emergence of mutations and characteristics is often caused by the Martial Arts Family’s own talent and external influences." After earnestly finishing his introduction, he looked at Qin Jin and spoke solemnly, "Each person’s mutation and characteristics are different, and in this aspect, there are very few references; recklessly comparing similar mutations and characteristics may instead lead to accidents." "Therefore, it can only be discovered by oneself." Leaving behind a sentence. Su Chaotang turned to leave. Square Bamboo’s voice rang out. "Young Brother Qin, can we start the therapy now?" Qin Jin nodded. Lying on the care bed, feeling the Secret Medicine being absorbed continuously under Square Bamboo’s actions, Qin Jin’s eyes glimmered with contemplation. "Mutation and characteristics." "Active and passive." "From now on, what I obtained through imagining the Exotic Python resembles the characteristics of Long Wei." "I haven’t used it on living creatures yet, don’t know how effective it will be..." In the following days, Qin Jin remained stable. Daily attending classes, cultivating. Going back, traveling in the Great Wilderness, cultivating. The monotonous life doesn’t feel tedious due to his own advancement. With no one else to disturb him, only every day upon arriving at the base, the decreasing number of young Martial Arts Families tells Qin Jin that the Chosen One plan is still ongoing, and within the Mining Star, there are undercurrents surging. ... The Great Wilderness. The sun sets, and night falls. The Deep Driller moves forward under the cover of darkness. From afar, Qin Jin already sees the firelight within the Sacrificial Fire Tribe. Compared to when he left, there are much more fires, representing the steady development of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe. Just as he was nearing the tribe. With senses alert, Qin Jin looked toward the surrounding wilderness. A mass of darkness, seemingly deserted. But through spiritual power, he perceives someone hidden there, observing him secretly. "They’ve even set up secret sentries." "Looks like Qi Chuan and Xia Rock Tiger are quite vigilant." "Noticing my movements but not recognizing my identity; newly joined tribesmen?" As this thought flashed through his mind. In the direction he was gazing at, a member of the Fire Sacrifice Tribe hiding there opened their mouth and let out a piercing cry, akin to a whistle, imitating the call of some Fierce Beast. In the silent Great Wilderness, the sound echoed. Qin Jin clearly saw the flickering flames within the Sacrificial Fire Tribe and the actions of the tribesmen inside. Qin Jin’s eyebrows raised slightly, continuing to move forward. The secret sentry issued a warning, and the tribe people inside, holding torches, quickly gathered, preparing to face an enemy. Then. They witnessed an unforgettable scene. In the darkness that chose to devour people, under the illumination of the flames, a colossal imposing figure with a chest shining with golden light dragged the remains of a terrifying giant beast, slowly approaching. Heavy footsteps accompanied by the rustling sound of the python head dragging on the ground, stepping into their hearts.
