Chapter 135: Void Realm Fourth Stage Qualitative Change Realm, Mystic Realm

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘I have absorbed a total of 1250 units of energy.’

Xu Ning absorbed all of the resources he scavenged from the surroundings.

Although 1250 units was a lot, it was far less than Xu Ning had expected.

“But this is normal…”

After thinking for a while, Xu Ning also realized that whether it was Ye Lun or Deacon Ding, they had no fixed channels for resources.

Even the resources he looted were immediately used for cultivation.

Xu Ning also kept the identity certificate he found on Ye Lun and the others.

He had to return with these things.

“Gray.”

Xu Ning said, “We have to go now.”

When Xu Ning was finished dealing with Ye Lun and his subordinates, the small fries in the village had already fled.

But there was no need to chase after these small characters.

‘The nature of the Gray’s bloodline is different from the commonly seen ones.’

Xu Ning patted Gray’s head.

Generally speaking, the attributes of a void realm martial artist were determined by the secret scroll they practiced.

As for demon beasts, their attributes were determined by their own bloodline.

But whether it was a human or a demon beast, the main attributes were fixed.

Main attributes such as metal, water, fire, earth, wind, wood, thunder, etc.

These main attributes accounted for 99% of all attributes.

“It’s just that Gray still can’t express overly complicated thoughts to me, so I have to wait until Gray matures more before I can understand Gray’s bloodline and abilities more deeply.”

After leaving the village, Xu Ning returned to Qinggu County with Gray.

After bidding farewell to Ling Xuzong, Xu Ning returned to the sect.

This trip only took a dozen days, but the harvest was extremely rich.

Once he successfully obtained the 300 contribution point reward, Xu Ning would then have around 5,000 energy units.

Of course, a large portion of that was unexpected gains.

But even so, Xu Ning wished to come out more often and do more missions in the future.

If the mission was successful, he might gain more than just staying in the sect.

At around the same time.

Fog Night Abyss.

A hand suddenly emerged from the mud.

A figure covered in black mud slowly crawled out.

“Finally… out.”

The figure touched his face a few times. Although he was dirty, his outline could be seen.

If Le Caiwei or Ning Xun were here, they would definitely recognize that this person was their Senior Brother Xiao Qiyun.

The missing Xiao Qiyun did not die. He climbed out of the mud under the Fog Night Abyss.

Xiao Qiyun looked up and felt the scarce sunlight in the Fog Night Abyss.

After a long time, Xiao Qiyun sighed.

“I didn’t expect that in my outing to capture a void realm demon beast, I accidentally discovered the mystic realm left behind by Shi Fengxu, the legendary number one expert of the past three hundred years!”

Xiao Qiyun thought back to the dangers and fortuitous encounters in the mystic realm.

Before entering the mystic realm, he was only a void realm third stage martial artist, but now he had advanced to the void realm fourth stage.

‘Although I came out alive and benefited a lot, the environment inside is too dangerous.’

Thinking of the densely packed terrifying creatures in the mystic realm, Xiao Qiyun’s scalp was still numb. “Apart from me, my other five junior brothers and sisters are buried here.”

A trace of sadness appeared in Xiao Qiyun’s eyes.

He sighed again.

“Let’s return to the sect first.”

Xiao Qiyun calmed down with difficulty. “Although the mystic realm is good, it is not something I can take for myself. With my current talents, I may not necessarily even be able to fully empty it out after a few decades. So after returning to the sect, it is better to report this to the elders…”

Xiao Qiyun ran desperately on the mud, rushing out of the Fog Night Abyss.

At this time.

Outside the Yuelan Sect.

Xu Ning parted with Gray again.

“I’m going back to the sect, Gray.”

When it was time to part again, Xu Ning could feel Gray’s depressed mood.

“When I come out next time, I will come and get you.”

Xu Ning traced Gray’s hair.

After a short farewell, Xu Ning left Gray.

Gray stood at the top of the mountain, watching Xu Ning as he slowly disappeared from its sight.

Once Xu Ning was gone, Gray turned around and walked into the cave.

However, just as it was about to enter the cave, Gray suddenly stopped. It then turned its head and looked into the distance.

It was looking at a distant place.

Gray’s expression and eyes began to show surprise and familiarity, as if Gray had sensed something familiar in the distance.

And that direction was the Fog Night Abyss that Xiao Qiyun had just climbed out of—the mystic realm left behind by Shi Fengxu.

Gray went through a lot of complicated emotions, then its expression turned into a look of yearning.

It looked in the direction of the Yuelan Sect, then looked in the direction of the Fog Night Abyss.

After much deliberation, Gray turned into a gray shadow and sped towards the Fog Night Abyss.

Yuelan Sect.

After returning to the sect, Xu Ning first went to the Mission Hall.

He first accepted the mission from the Leaf Pattern Sect, then reported the success of the two missions at the same time.

After confirming that there were no mistakes, Xu Ning received 300 contribution points.

Afterwards, Xu Ning went to Materials hall and exchanged the contribution points for 30 Pure Source Pills.

Xu Ning went to knock on Gu Qinghe’s door.

But Gu Qinghe was not here. Xu Ning assumed that Gu Qinghe must have gone to practice his secret scroll, or was busy with internal affairs of the Seven Boxers.

Not being able to meet Gu Qinghe, Xu Ning just went straight back to his room.

He first rested, then absorbed all the 30 Pure Source Pills, obtaining 3000 units of energy.

Afterwards, he absorbed the Aura Crystals expelled by the Thousand Source Bug over the past few days, obtaining 60 units of energy.

‘It’s time to advance to the qualitative change realm.’

Xu Ning looked at his energy reserves of 4,360 units and thought.

After advancing to the qualitative change realm, he would officially obtain the characteristics of his attribute.

In the future, the use of pure true qi and strength would no longer be mainstream, instead fights were won would be dependent on whose nature and power was greater.

Xu Ning opened the Martial Arts Panel, then clicked on the “+” sign next to the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll.

Consume 2400 units of energy to advance the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll?

Yes / No

Xu Ning chose to confirm.

Afterwards, Xu Ning felt the water and fire qi in his body suddenly start to tremble.

The tremors grew larger and larger, then the two currents began to separate from each other.

In just a short time, it turned four qi currents, and the density of these four qi currents was still as dense as before. They did not become smaller or lighter.

After splitting into four qi currents, they began to transform.

Among them, one current of water qi turned into the shape of a ball, while the remaining current of water qi was shaped into a thread. As for the two currents of fire qi, one became a wave, while the other turned into a cloud.

‘These correspond to my four void realm secret techniques.’

Xu Ning closed his eyes. He could clearly see the changes in his body.

Xu Ning sensed.

‘The ball-shaped water qi represents the penetrative nature of Tidal Fist, while the thread of water qi represents the cutting nature of the Water Cross Sword. As for the fire qi currents, the wave represents the burning nature of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, while cloud represents the annihilative nature of the Bright Fire Sword.’

Xu Ning quickly figured out the reason.

‘Now, I am certain that I can apply the characteristics of the same attributes into different secret techniques. For example, I can apply the cutting nature on the Tidal Fist, or I can apply the penetrative nature on the Water Cross Sword.’

‘Application within the same attributes—this is the biggest change since entering the qualitative change realm.’

‘However, there is a limit to this application. After the application, the power of the secret technique is limited by the lowest level secret technique. With Tidal Fist being at level four and the Water Cross Sword at level three, if I apply both characteristics and use them, then I can only use them at the third level.’

‘So, it is best if the cultivation of different secret techniques are balanced.’

Xu Ning slowly thought.

‘No wonder it is said that the more void realm secret techniques one cultivates, the better it is for them. It seems that in addition to helping to improve one’s strength in the future, one’s methods will be more diverse when facing enemies.’

Xu Ning even felt that if his realm continued to improve, he could even apply the nature of the water attribute onto fire-based secret techniques.

‘It seems that I have to learn two more secret techniques in the future.’

Xu Ning opened his eyes and thought.

Afterwards, Xu Ning checked and found out that to advance to the void realm fifth stage, he would need 5000 units of energy.

‘I only have 1960 units of energy left.’

Xu Ning looked at the Martial Arts Panel. “These 1960 units of energy are enough for me to advance either my Water Cross Sword or my Bright Fire Sword. But I think the effect will be better if I advance both at the same time.”

‘With 1960 units of energy, I can advance either Tidal Fist or the Flame Breath Bone Sutra to the fifth level.’

Xu Ning began to weigh his options. ‘Should I even advance my techniques? If I advance, then the difference between secret techniques will be even greater.’

‘Forget it, I’ll just continue to save and advance the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword at the same time.’

Xu Ning finally chose to save these 1960 units of energy for the time being.

After his realm improved, Xu Ning felt refreshed.

He wanted to rest, but he no longer felt tired.

‘Let’s go to Senior Brother He’s courtyard. I still have to test the quality of a middle-grade aura fountain. I wonder if Senior Brother He has completed the sect mission and has returned.’

Xu Ning did not hesitate anymore. He went straight to the core disciple sect.

“Brother Xu.”

When Xu Ning came to He Mingye’s courtyard, he saw the two teenagers again.

“Is Senior Brother He back?”

Xu Ning asked the two.

“Senior Brother He hasn’t returned yet.” The female teenager replied, “He should return to the sect in a month or so.”

Xu Ning nodded. “Senior Brother He had said that he wanted me to practice with the help of the middle-grade aura fountain…”

“Come with me.”

Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, the female teenager led him inside. “The middle-grade aura fountain is here.”

Xu Ning followed the female teenager to a shallow pit.

This shallow pit looked similar to the low-grade aura fountain, but the aura coming from it was a lot stronger.

“If you have any instructions, you can call us anytime.”

The female teenager said.

“Okay.”

Xu Ning went straight into the shallow pit.

He sat cross-legged just like before.

After an hour, Xu Ning smiled faintly.

Unlike when he was using a low-grade aura fountain, Xu Ning could absorb 3 units of energy every 2 hours in this aura fountain.

This meant Xu Ning could absorb 30 units of energy a day, accounting for the 4 hours he needed to rest.

‘Senior Brother He said that a middle-grade aura fountain is twice as effective as a low-grade aura fountain. Now it seems that it is more than twice as effective.’

‘Just by sitting here, I will be able to accumulate 2000 units of energy tomorrow morning and advance the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword at the same time.’

Xu Ning closed his eyes again and focused on absorbing the aura.

A few days went by.

Yuelan Sect.

Zongfeng Peak.

“Yuancheng, how is your new disciple Ji Yimiao doing?”

In front of the Sect Master Mi Xingye sat Elder Yuancheng.

Elder Yuancheng stroked his beard. “His aptitude is average, but his temperament is excellent. I am quite satisfied.”

“Sect Master, what about Xu Ning?”

The elder asked.

“I haven’t seen him since I accepted him as my in-name disciple.”

Mi Xingye smiled. “When we returned from the Beast Hunting Sect, Xu Ning had already gone out on a mission. I wonder if he’s back yet.”

Xu Ning had been staying in the aura fountain for the past few days, so even Gu Qinghe didn’t know that Xu Ning had come back.

“I look forward to meeting Xu Ning.”

Yuan Cheng smiled. “I feel that he is no weaker than any core disciples.”

“Sect Master, Elder Yuancheng.”

A disciple on the main peak suddenly walked into the house.

There were many disciples who were responsible for the chores on the peak.

These disciples were all outer disciples, but because they were at the Sect Master’s peak, even inner disciples were polite to them.

“What is it?”

Mi Xingye asked.

“An inner disciple named Xiao Qiyun wants to see you and Elder Yuancheng.”

The disciple said.

“Who did you say? Xiao Qiyun?”

Elder Yuancheng looked surprised. “He’s back?”

Mi Xingye raised his eyebrows.

During the demon slaying conference, Elder Yuancheng mentioned Xiao Qiyun to Mi Xingye.

Elder Yuancheng said that he was initially going to accept Xiao Qiyun as his in-name disciple, but Xiao Qiyun suddenly disappeared.

They just didn’t expect that he would return safely.

“Call him in.”

Elder Yuancheng said.

Although it was not normal for inner disciples to see the Sect Master and elders directly, Mi Xingye and Elder Yuancheng did not care about this.

“Yes.”

The disciple left.

Afterwards, Xiao Qiyun was brought here.

Xiao Qiyun had already washed up and changed into clean clothes.

After leading Xiao Qiyun, the disciple left the room.

“Inner disciple Xiao Qiyun greets Sect Master and Elder Yuancheng.”

Xiao Qiyun looked at the two and bowed respectfully.

“I heard that you went missing. It’s a good thing that you’re back safely.”

Elder Yuancheng’s eyes were kind.

“Elder Yuancheng misses you a lot.”

Mi Xingye said.

“Thank you, Sect Master and Elder Yuancheng.”

Xiao Qiyun bowed again with a calm expression.

He was still worried.

Xiao Qiyun said, “Sect Master and Elder Yuancheng, I came here to tell you something.”

“What is it?”

Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng both frowned slightly, but they did not look very concerned.

“There is a mystic realm under the Fog Night Abyss.”

Xiao Qiyun paused, “And the owner of the mystic realm is Shi Fengxu.”

“What?!”

Xiao Qiyun’s words were like a sudden clap of thunder. Mi Xingye and Elder Yuancheng sat up straight at the same time and looked at Xiao Qiyun in shock.

Shi Fengxu!

This name was a legend in State Jifeng!

The strongest person in State Jifeng 300 years ago.

‘And he left behind a mystic realm?!’
