Chapter 292 Talent [Innovation]

In the five-colored ancestral qi, Zhou Tieyi himself is still transforming.

The seventh level of martial arts, 'cultivating the spirit', is actually a process of alienation.

The ninth level of martial arts is "Opening the Sea", which allows a warrior to initially master his own blood and energy. The eighth level of martial arts is "Refining the Spirit", which allows a warrior to initially master his own spirit and then look for powerful blood essence that suits his own skills. These blood essences are usually from mid-level exotic beasts. Only warriors who have exhausted their talents or are extremely short of money will choose the blood essence of seventh-level exotic beasts to breed their spirits.

The biggest difference between middle grade and lower grade is the control over the external power of heaven and earth other than oneself.

Therefore, before reaching the sixth level of martial arts 'Ning Gang' and mastering the ancestral qi of heaven and earth, he began to try to master external forces that did not belong to him by integrating the essence and blood of a strange beast. Through the essence and blood of these already mid-level strange beasts, he began to comprehend the ancestral qi of heaven and earth.

The talent gained by "planting the soul" is the result of this kind of perception.

Therefore, starting from choosing a technique, to planting the spirit, and then to condensing the Gang, the three are complementary to each other. For the vast majority of warriors, once they have chosen the corresponding technique and blood essence, the range of the Gang Qi they choose to condense will be narrowed, so that in the end there will only be one or two kinds of Gang Qi that are suitable for them and suitable for picking.

But for Zhou Tieyi, this process was not inevitable.

Because before he obtained the talent of "Soul Seeding", he had already obtained supernatural powers through [Usurping God] and gained the ability to control external forces through himself.

So it’s not talent that chooses Zhou Tieyi, but Zhou Tieyi who chooses talent!

"Usurp the God!"

The illusory spirit grabbed the drop of Qilin's blood with supernatural power.

A large number of images appeared in Zhou Tieyi's eyes.

This is the life of a Qilin, but the power contained in a drop of blood is limited, far less than the divine weapon, the green blood, so the picture Zhou Tieyi got is far from as complete as that of Cao Shan and other gods.

Like most of the innate gods, this Qilin was also born from heaven and earth. It came from the southern side of the Ten Thousand Mountains, which was difficult to reach even under the rule of Daxia. It was still the world of exotic beasts, and all kinds of powerful exotic beasts emerged one after another. In addition, the terrain was dangerous, so even humans stopped here temporarily.

After the Qilin was born, it lived in the Ten Thousand Mountains most of the time, and then by chance it saved a "mountain tribe".

The so-called mountain people are a general term for those who are unwilling to obey the control of Daxia and flee to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

They gathered together for various reasons. Some simply could not afford the taxes, some were forced by local tyrants and lost their land, and some were wanted criminals by Daxia.

But no matter what the reason, as long as one becomes a mountain man, he is no longer considered a human being. This is the legal interpretation given in the "Daxia Tianxian".

Therefore, for the mountain people, Daxia's Shinto ban naturally did not pose a deterrent. Due to the rugged terrain of the Ten Thousand Mountains and the prevalence of witchcraft, there were also a large number of sacrifices to gods.

Even though Daxia sent heavy troops to clear out the rebellion several times, it was just like a wildfire that could not be extinguished and would spring up again in the spring breeze.

That is why there is a legend about a Confucian scholar who was harmed by witchcraft in the Ten Thousand Mountains and fought back with the help of the books of sages. There are also cases where foreign gods like the Wuchang God would flee to the Ten Thousand Mountains when they were left with nowhere else to go.

The Qilin that saved the mountain tribe also became the mountain people's belief, and thus embarked on the path of a true god. In the process, he did a good job, using his magical powers to lead this mountain tribe of only a thousand people to multiply and grow rapidly, absorbing the surrounding tribes, and eventually forming a large tribe of nearly 100,000 people.

But it was also His bane.

A mountain tribe of 100,000 people is enough to warrant Daxia sending troops to wipe it out.

So during the last campaign to clear out the mountain people, the right general Yuchi Pojun personally led the army to kill Qilin and wipe out the tribe.

Therefore, the resentment left by the Qilin is even heavier. It is not only his own resentment. In Zhou Tieyi's perception, all the wronged souls are immersed in the lake of history.

If he dared to awaken this Qilin from history like Cao Shan did, then these wronged souls would also jump out of the "water" with the Qilin. At that time, even if the Qilin wanted to be freed like Cao Shan, it would fall into complete madness under the influence of a hundred thousand wronged souls.

Therefore, if you want to tame this Qilin, you need to conduct an on-site investigation.

Of course, this is also a very valuable thing. After all, if a third-grade auspicious beast that also practices Shintoism can really be revived, it will be of great benefit to his [Tianyi Treasure Scroll] and Shintoism practice.

But that is all matter for the future. What Zhou Tieyi cares more about now is the talent he is going to acquire.

His spirit penetrated into the essence and blood through the divine power of [Usurping God], just like a silver needle piercing the outer defense of the essence and blood. Without actively awakening Qilin's consciousness, He had been killed by the Right General Yuchi Pojun, and his body and soul were completely destroyed. The iron armor around the essence and blood sensed the existence of twelve dragon seals, nine of which were fully manifested, and three were half-real and half-virtual.

The dragon seal is the product of the enrichment of all the ancestral qi of heaven and earth, and is the external manifestation of the rules of the world. When the dragon seals are combined together, they will form a qualitative change.

Zhou Tieyi once again had a deep understanding of this sentence.

Before, he wanted to use his own Blood God's magical power to study the blood essence in A Da and others' bodies, and try to learn and understand the Dragon Chapter. However, because it was only a preliminary attempt, and the time was short and there were many trivial matters, Zhou Tieyi has not made any qualitative breakthrough yet.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of "planting souls" to study his own soul essence and blood, it was like breaking through that layer of window paper.

"Talent is the magical power carried and expressed through essence and blood."

“Supernatural powers are a concrete manifestation of divine authority.”

"Using this drop of Qilin blood essence belonging to the gods, those who are interested can also use it as a foundation to forge a divine weapon. Of course, compared to forging a divine weapon out of specific materials, forging a divine weapon out of blood essence is definitely more difficult, and it is even unrealistic for most ninth-grade gods."

······
A lot of speculations and insights emerged in Zhou Tieyi's mind.

He continued to dig deeper into the differences between talents and supernatural powers.

"There is another reason why blood essence cannot be used to forge divine tools. That is, blood essence carries a part of the original owner's spiritual will. Unlike other treasures containing dragon seals, they are all 'purely natural'."

"It is precisely this part of the original owner's spiritual will that hinders the development of talent into supernatural powers and divine authority, and also hinders the practice of warriors. Therefore, the process of warriors from the seventh-grade 'seed spirit' to the fourth-grade 'dharma phase' contains the process of eroding and containing their original spiritual will."

"Of course, it is also possible that the quality of my Qilin blood is too high, so it has the possibility of developing into a magical power. Most spiritual warriors are grateful to get a drop of sixth-grade blood, and many sixth-grade blood can hardly contain a complete dragon chapter, which limits their development potential."

"And the most important point is that Taodu Weng can extract blood essence by devouring corpses. As a decomposer and producer, the peaches and plums it produces are very 'pure' in themselves. Does that mean that the blood essence obtained by Taodu Weng is 'purer' and more beneficial to the practice of warriors than the blood essence directly extracted by other methods? If this is true, then the value of Taodu Weng is still rising!"

"Blood essence is the carrier of the Dragon Seal. When other human spirits awaken their talents, they cannot grasp the will of the original owner in the blood essence, so they can only awaken their talents through vague methods such as 'feeling' and 'sensing'. But I am different. I can suppress the original will and even rewrite the Dragon Seal of this drop of blood essence through the authority of flesh and blood, forming a 'Tao Sutra' of my own, which is most suitable for my own innate magical power."

In Zhou Tieyi's Dantian Qi sea, five colors of blue, red, white, black and yellow emerged. Among the five colors, five statues of emperors appeared one by one. They were wearing twelve-series robes, and the twelve dragon seals on them were real. With the help of the bridge formed by the authority of flesh and blood, one dragon seal after another tried to fall into the Qilin's essence and blood.

Qilin is originally a beast of holy virtue, and has a very high affinity with the dragon emblem contained in the Five Emperors' statues. In addition, this Qilin is also extremely powerful, and can be regarded as the top among the three grades. That's why the Right General was able to lead the troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion in person. His essence and blood can also carry more power.

But this was only a drop of blood essence after all. When it carried forty-nine dragon seals, Zhou Tieyi could clearly sense the 'saturation' of this drop of Qilin blood essence. The power of this drop of blood essence was totally insufficient to manifest a complete image of the Five Emperors.

Even Zhou Tieyi, the god of martial arts, looked distorted and painful, like a fat man who had eaten too much.

After all, even the [Five Emperors' Treasure Edict] was manifested through five statues of the Five Emperors, not just one statue of the Five Emperors.

Is this the limit?
Zhou Tieyi pondered for a moment, and then he took out another treasure in the real world.

It was a dried 'lotus petal', and the lotus petal was transparent in color. If it was not held by Zhou Tieyi's fingertips, when the sunlight shone on it, it would only reflect the light and shadow of the surrounding scenery, as if the extremely clean water was squeezed into the shape of a lotus petal.

In order to get rid of the pursuit, when the Buddha's fire fell that day, it burned the entire Paradise into "emptiness", leaving no extra information. This "emptiness" even compressed the space, turning a piece of sky into a lotus petal at the fingertips, and the time and space inside had to rebuild the longitude and latitude.

So this is indeed a treasure, but it will take a lot of effort to reuse it.

Zhou Tieyi used his [Usurping God] magical power to grab at the 'lotus petals', but failed to grab anything after several attempts. He was sure that this thing was 'emptiness', but this 'emptiness' was similar to the state of Tai Chi. If it were to be reopened, it would be enough to support a piece of the sky.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the lotus petal into his stomach.

In the Dantian Qi Sea, the Martial Arts God who was containing the essence and blood suddenly stretched out a palm to catch the lotus petals that fell from the Dantian Qi Sea. The lotus petals blended with the Martial Arts God, with the essence and blood, and with the Five Emperors, like a huge sky, carrying the three.

A total of seventy-two dragon seals were written one by one, forming a magnificent Taoist scripture.

The painful expression on the face of the martial arts master relaxed and turned into a smile, "The Five Emperors rotate, and the old is renewed."
