Omnipotent Sage Chapter 278

Refining an acupoint was a technical task that required meticulousness.

Even if Green Spirit had imparted the method to Junior Leopard for refining acupoints, Junior Leopard could not really understand the difficulty until he did it himself.

He was going to use Internal Qi to scour and expand his tendons and meridians little by little so that he could create another Dantian at that particular point. Thanks to his excellent Inner Vision, Junior Leopard could just barely continue the work. Otherwise, he might have died because of bursting tendons and meridians.

This was not a joke. Generally, even if tendons and meridians got injured, people like Junior Leopard, who had practiced into this phase, could repair them by themselves. But at present, he gathered almost three-quarters of his Internal Qi into the new acupoint in order to expand the tendons and meridians there, so that it could transform into an acupoint. If he relaxed for a while, or an accident happened, the gathered Internal Qi would burst the tendons and meridians. Under the impact force, his body would become a bloody fog and minced meat at the same time, leaving him no chance to recover.

That was why Junior Leopard said that it was dangerous. Its requirements were, quite simply, carefulness and cautiousness.

Gradually, Junior Leopard controlled his Internal Qi and tried to circulate it inside those tendons and meridians. He had tried several times before, but had never succeeded. If ordinary circulation could not be operated at that point, it could not be seen as an acupoint.

"Bang!"

After countless trials, a stream of Internal Qi finally formed a complete circulation. At the very moment that the circulation was completed, Junior Leopard felt that something had gotten through. He was shocked, and then inside of those tendons and meridians, there was a huge attractive force. Suddenly, it fiercely attracted all the Internal Qi that Junior Leopard had gathered at that point.

The extreme speed and fierce attractive force were totally beyond Junior Leopard's expectation.

In the twinkling of an eye, the Internal Qi, which both gathered at that point and was stored in other places inside Junior Leopard's body, was all attracted. In the original Dantian, there was only a poor Demonic Fire Seed, which seemed likely to be extinguished at any time.

It was still not enough. After absorbing all his Internal Qi, that huge attractive force still existed like a hungry monster who was crazily looking for food to fill its belly. Under such circumstances, even that last Demonic Fire Seed in his Dantian could not withstand it too long.

"Damn it!" Junior Leopard cursed in a low voice. He had clearly seen that the tendons and meridians, which now could be called an acupoint, had been established. Compared to the Dantian, this acupoint was even bigger and more grandiose, like a huge black hole. The Internal Qi moved in circles inside and formed a golden-red revolving cloud.

However, compared to this huge acupoint, that starry cloud appeared to be too small to fill the acupoint. That was why just now the acupoint crazily emitted an attractive force to absorb as much pneuma as possible. The great attractive force also made Junior Leopard's breathing difficult. Not only his mouth and nose but also all his pores were absorbing the surrounding pneuma. At this moment, the airflow around Junior Leopard produced a peculiar change.

It was in the depths of the geocentric fire vein where the Spiritual Energy of Fire was extremely rich. Now, the Spiritual Energy of Fire had come here from all around and gathered around Junior Leopard's body because of the attractive force of that new acupoint. Then all the Evil Qi of the Spiritual Energy of Fire went deep into Junior Leopard's pores, which he could not take any more.

Though his body was very strong, he was only in the Bone-Forging Realm. His tendons and meridians were 10 times stronger than ordinary people's, but compared to his body, they were much more fragile. Therefore, when this heterogeneous Evil Qi and pneuma struck in the tendons and meridians, Junior Leopard immediately felt that it was hard to withstand.

His body had just gotten badly injured. Even though those impaired tendons and meridians had been almost repaired, they could not withstand the fierce impact anymore. Now, as the Spiritual Energy of Fire ran amuck, swarming into his body, he naturally could not bear it.

"If it continues like this, when I successfully refine my acupoint, my tendons and meridians will also explode," Junior Leopard thought to himself. Then a red ray flashed in between his eyebrows. Massive Internal Qi from the Fiery Eyes came out like a flood and rushed downward.

Suddenly, that fierce attractive force stopped. It transformed into a much milder force to take the emerging Internal Qi from the Fiery Eyes into that new acupoint like an invisible hand.

"Gurgle, Gurgle—!"

The Internal Qi flowed and ran along his tendons and meridians like running water. It was the first time that he had completely released the Internal Qi of the Fiery Eyes' External Elixir. Even though he had always known that his round-the-clock practice had accumulated enormous Internal Qi in the Inner Elixir, he was extremely surprised by the significant spurting.

"Kiddo, how did you do that? How come you have such powerful Internal Qi? It's impossible!"

Green Spirit screamed out. It seemed that he had felt the change happen in Junior Leopard's body.

"You still have a telepathic connection with the condition of my body?" Junior Leopard was shocked and he changed his expression suddenly. Because he thought that Green Spirit could not have a telepathic connection with his body anymore since Green Spirit and the green lamp had been taken out of his body.

"Of course. Your Internal Qi comes out in torrents like a flood. With such a loud amplification, the deaf and the blind can also feel that." Green Spirit sulked and continued, "Even if I don't have any telepathic connection with your body, I can still feel it. Tell me, how did you do it? Such powerful Internal Qi needs at least hundreds of years of practice."

"I certainly have my own wonderful method." Hearing this, Junior Leopard was a little complacent because Green Spirit did not know the method to keep the External Elixir practicing day and night.

"It seems that necromancers in antiquity times were not up to much. They didn't even figure out this little talent that I just discovered with a flash of wit. If I lived in antiquity times, I must have been the Einstein among those necromancers!" Junior Leopard thought to himself complacently.

"Circulation in acupoints never ends!"

Just at the moment that Junior Leopard felt complacent, Green Spirit cried out strangely. "I see it. I see. Haha, you are really a lucky dog. It must be the acupoint that you used to refine your External Elixir. Only in this way, circulation in the acupoints will never end and it will accumulate such powerful Internal Qi after round-the-clock practice."

"What do you mean? The External Elixir is also an acupoint?" Junior Leopard's heart beat wildly.

"Of course. You said that your External Elixir was the Fiery Eyes that has the feature of the Heavenly Magic Eyes. You yourself have the Fiery Eyes…" Green Spirit suddenly stopped and said nothing as if he had thought of something. And for a long time, no sound could be heard.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" After a long while of silence, Junior Leopard had less patience and asked him.

"Kiddo, be patient. Let me think, let me think," Green Spirit replied strangely and then stayed silent for another while.

Junior Leopard stopped thinking because he knew that even if he were to think about it a lot, he still would not be able to figure it out. Then, he sat down there and led the rolling Internal Qi from the External Elixir into the acupoint.

If his former Internal Qi could be defined as a trickle, then the Internal Qi at present could be defined as a rolling deluge.

The rolling Internal Qi rushed out of the acupoint and integrated into his original Internal Qi. The starry cloud in the acupoint suddenly became larger but rotated slower. After a long time, the rolling Internal Qi gradually ran slower and finally stopped. In his External Elixir, there was not any Internal Qi, but only the power of the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword that had just been restored.

The newly formed acupoint finally became stable and stopped attracting the Internal Qi from other places.

Inside the acupoint, a huge golden-red starry cloud was rotating up and down. From time to time, the golden-red Internal Qi could be seen rising and falling. Junior Leopard suddenly detected something strange.

"It seems that I have had this kind of feeling before." Junior felt strange in his heart. In the meantime, that golden-red starry cloud in the acupoint suddenly began to roll as if there was something stirring inside of it.

Junior Leopard became suddenly inspired and the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique automatically exercised. When the Internal Qi was rolling within the acupoint, the Lion that had been refined by Junior Leopard appeared, and following that was an eccentric monster with a dragon's head and a beast's body. As the two monsters appeared, the Internal Qi in the acupoint rapidly decreased. But this time, the acupoint did not produce the attractive force. At that moment, the Lion went back into that starry cloud and only the other monster with the dragon's head and beast's body still hovered around that cloud.

"It's the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon!"

Just now, Junior Leopard finally understood what happened inside. The Nine Forms of the Real Dragon was the third form of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique. He knew that he had just now refined another one of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon, which was called the Goat-shaped Dragon. Since he had refined the Lion, he began to pay more attention to the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon and kept all of them in his mind. But this time when he refined this Goat-shaped Dragon, he was not so lucky to have the Dragon Flying Technique in mind. He only knew that the Internal Qi was much more condensed and the fact that he had gotten another form to exercise. Now the question was what functions did this Goat-shaped Dragon possess.

But before he began his exploration, Green Spirit's voice came into his ears. "Kiddo, you have great luck. But also it might be big trouble."

Junior Leopard was shocked, and then the Goat-shaped Dragon that was formed just now disappeared again into the starry cloud of the acupoint.

"Green Spirit, I tell you that people can be frightened to death by others."

"Yes, people can be frightened to death by others. But if it were the Innate Deity who frightens people, it would not be so simple as death." Green Spirit said slowly, "If I didn't guess wrong, you might have two acupoints of the Innate Deity. They are your two eyes."

Two acupoints of the Innate Deity?

Junior Leopard was surprised by this news. With a light flashing across his eyes, he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Kiddo, if I guessed right, the reason why that Fiery Eye in between your eyebrows has such a strong Internal Qi is that it circulates all the time like a Dantian and accumulates lots of pure Internal Qi."

"Hehe, nothing can escape from your eyes."

"It's not because I know a lot, but because this method was tried by many people in our time. But they didn't have as much luck as you." Green Spirit said, "Do you understand?" "What those damned necromancers were wild about were various methods to improve their strength. This was only one of them."

"Indeed, it's very ordinary. But it's also quite effective."

"That's because you're so lucky to have an External Elixir in the location of an acupoint. Only in this way can it operate automatically. Otherwise, it can only operate under your control, like your Dantian."

"In the location of an acupoint? What do you mean by that?" Junior Leopard was quite confused.

"In this world, there are many things that can be used to form an External Elixir. By and large, they can be classified into two categories. One category is the special part taken from the body of living creature. The power of External Elixir "

"Do you mean that my External Elixir is in the exact location of an acupoint?"

"Yes. Your External Elixir is a Fiery Eye, and you yourself have the Fiery Eyes. That means that your two eyes are the locations of two acupoints. What's more, your Fiery Eyes are formed because of inheriting the bloodline of the Innate Deity, so the two acupoints are probably acupoints of the Innate Deity."

"Is it really possible for me to be so lucky?"

Hearing what Green Spirit had said, Junior Leopard could not help getting excited.

Indeed, it was a really good thing.

He remembered that Green Spirit had told him that, if he was lucky enough, it was possible for him to open an acupoint of the Innate Deity. It could be seen as reaching the ultimate in one leap. Because an acupoint of the Innate Deity could bear much more Internal Qi than human beings could, and even several times more than other living creatures.

"Don't think about that good thing so soon." Green Spirit had detected what Junior Leopard thought in his mind. Then, Green Spirit said a few words to discourage this idea. "You've just opened one acupoint of the Real Dragon, which almost killed you. If you can actually open an acupoint of the Innate Deity, it won't be as simple as death. Real Dragons are just ordinary congenital living creatures, while the Innate Deity is the topmost congenital being. Under the current condition of the essence of the world, if you open an acupoint of an Innate Deity, the only result will be that the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding area of 10,000 square kilometers will be absorbed. As a result, your body will explode into pieces because of the enormous power of the massive Spiritual Qi."

"You're right. You're right. Just now, when I only opened one of the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints, my Internal Qi was almost completely drained. If I open an acupoint of the Innate Deity, I would drain myself." Even though this wording sounded strange, it was the truth. "Then, before I have enough strength to manage them, I won't open the two acupoints. Does that matter?"

"It does matter. The more acupoints that you open, the more sensitive that the Internal Qi and Real Essence are to the acupoints. Perhaps when you open nine acupoints, your Internal Qi might have transformed into Real Essence. Both the Internal Qi and Real Essence will batter your acupoints no matter if it is intentional or not. Then you will have big trouble."

"Is that true?"

"Many facts can prove that it's possible. You still can't control when and whether it happens." Green Spirit slowly said, "In our time, there were many people who were as lucky as you, but most of them died like dogs."

"Could you please speak more politely?" Junior Leopard burst into a furry.

"I said it for your own good. Kiddo, listen, take it easy. You have refined an acupoint and now have the experience. It's not that hard to refine the second. But you should be patient now. What you need to do is to advance yourself to Level Eight as soon as possible before you open all of the Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints."

"Why? You said that I should refine as many acupoints as possible before I step into Level Eight, didn't you?"

"Time has changed. If your body was as strong as an Innate Deity's, I wouldn't mind if you refined all the acupoints inside your body first and then stepped into Level Eight. But now, the problem is that you don't have the ability to control your acupoints. Just now, only one acupoint of the Real Dragon already threw you into great confusion."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Junior Leopard knew that Green Spirit was right. He nodded and said, "I'll pay more attention to the movement of my Internal Qi."

"Besides, don't use your Fiery Eyes if you don't need to. Perhaps using the Fiery Eyes can stimulate your acupoints."

"I got it," Junior Leopard replied with a bitter smile. Even though his Fiery Eyes were wonderful and unique, he had another reason to not use these two marvelous eyes.

"You've just opened an acupoint. You should consolidate it first. I won't disturb you anymore," Green Spirit considerately said.

Junior Leopard nodded but thought about another thing. "My Blue Sword can also be practiced day and night. That's because my skull External Elixir of the Primitive Dragon Chimera has this function, which means that I should also know the location of the Primitive Dragon Chimera's acupoint. What a pity. I don't know much about the way of a Primitive Dragon Chimera. Otherwise, it's good to open this acupoint. Even if a Dragon Chimera is small, it can eat dragons, so it must be a congenital living creature."

Over the next three days, Junior Leopard began to consolidate that just-refined acupoint and began to get familiar with the power of the Goat-shaped Dragon, which was one of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon.

Lions could cast countless golden fireballs that were more powerful than ordinary flames. They could even destroy Gang Qi and their power could grow along with his cultivation. He could also spare no effort to give the Lion more intelligence so that it could fight for him when necessary. But this Goat-shaped Dragon's functions were different from the Lion's. It could not cast that kind of golden fireball. But when Junior Leopard called for its power, the Goat-shaped Dragon would transform into a long flaming whip. This whip could extend to almost a thousand feet long and had great power. Generally, one whip could split stones and even mountains. Furthermore, except for the experts at Level Nine and those who practiced special Gang Qi, it could destroy Gang Qi in just one strike.

"The Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon are really good. It seems that I should try to learn how to use a whip."

"You don't need to learn a whip method. This long flaming whip is transformed by the Goat-shaped Dragon and it only has a method to fight." Green Spirit said, "It seems that you still don't completely understand the functions of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon."

"Do you know the functions of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon?"

"Of course I know them. Every form of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon has a special function. You don't need to study it. You just use it." Green Spirit continued coolly, "The point is not the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon, but your Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang Qi. You are going to use the Evil Qi of Kylin to cultivate Gang. You should properly understand the power of the Evil Qi of Kylin. You have seen the Great Fusion Technique before. Perhaps you can comprehend this Divine Sense when you successfully cultivate Gang."

"I will keep it in mind." Junior Leopard nodded. He changed his gesture slightly, and then a blast of sanguine mist came out from his fingertips and shrouded him.

That was the Evil Qi of Kylin that he had collected.

Condensing Evil to Gang!

Every expert needed to go through this step. Even if your cultivation had reached Level Seven, you were merely a fake expert if you could not condense Gang Qi. For example, both Dragon Granny from the Meng family and Lyu Yiyue from the Wu family were fake experts. It meant that they only had the high cultivation of experts, but did not have the Gang Qi that a true expert should have. As a result, it was hard for them not to bow their heads in front of real experts.

Only the geek Junior Leopard could make himself almost reach the combat capability of Level Nine without Gang Qi when he was actually at Level Seven.

Even though Junior Leopard himself did not cultivate Gang, his Blue Sword in the External Elixir had cultivated Jade Original Power Gang. So, he actually had some experience cultivating Gang. Besides, the smart Green Spirit was at his side to provide guidance. Therefore, it was easy for him to integrate his Internal Qi with the Evil Qi of Kylin to cultivate that thinnish but remarkable Gang Qi.

When he cultivated Gang Qi, he gradually comprehended the wonderful functions of the Evil Qi of Kylin under the guidance of Green Spirit. The Evil Qi of Kylin that drifted around Junior Leopard integrated with his Internal Qi that came out of his body and then surged, raged, and transformed into unusual visions. This lasted for over 10 days.

Over 10 days later, Junior Leopard opened his tightly closed eyes. The surrounding Evil Qi of Kylin had been integrated with his Internal Qi. The newly cultivated gold Kylin Gang moved around Junior Leopard. Suddenly, he opened his fingers and grasped straight out.

"Hiss…!"

A soft, strange sound was heard, and then a huge rock in front of him along with its surrounding space disappeared suddenly in a shining gold light. The endless hollow flashed away in front of Junior Leopard.

It was the Great Fusion Technique.

The gold Gang Qi curled up into a whirlwind and then disappeared.

"Now, only the Golden Flame Mirror is left."
