Chapter 489: The Blowout of Innateness

This is a great fortune. The Emperor’s Liquid was trapped in the atmosphere by the corpse of a real dragon over the long years. It is the legendary “essence of the sun and the moon”. Just a trace of it can transform the soul of an ordinary person. There is only one chance in a lifetime.

That night, the sky over the entire South China Sea was as bright as day, and the fishermen and people along the coast were disturbed from their sleep. The entire coastline was filled with people who came to watch the excitement.

By the early morning, when there was no light on the island, the five people ten thousand meters above the sky put away their magic tools and sat in meditation to regulate their breathing.

Li Yang took back the Moon Essence Wheel and sighed as he looked at the cloud that had shrunk by at least 80%.

“The Emperor’s Flowing Blood has been accumulated for thousands of years, but it was only completed in one night… I don’t know how many years it will take for such a treasure to return to its previous size.”

Chi Yanhong, dressed in a white Taoist robe, slowly opened her eyes. This time she also gained great benefits and was one step closer to becoming a Taoist immortal.

She slowly flew to Li Yang’s side, looked at the cloud in front of her that had shrunk by half, and whispered in a comforting voice:
“It’s an emergency, so we have to exhaust all resources, but at least this precious land has not dried up completely, and it can still benefit future generations thousands of years later.”

At this time, Qi Qiansu also recovered. Hearing the conversation between the two, his face was solemn: “The great catastrophe is coming. If we don’t survive this catastrophe, how can we have the blessing of the future life?”

Li Yang naturally knew these principles and sighed: “I hope that with such good fortune this time, my country can have more innate and seeded people…”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people floating in the sky suddenly fell silent.

This time, there are not only more than a thousand Qi Ling disciples on Dazhou Island, but also innate seeds from various sects, such as Wang Xin and Zhao Ziyao from Baiyun Taoist Academy. They are basically also on the island and have absorbed a large amount of Emperor Liujiang.

This was the original intention of Li Yang and Qi Qiansu’s plan to eliminate demons in the southeast, to train top-notch masters of cultivation for China as quickly as possible.

After a long while, Qi Qiansu raised his head with a vicissitudes of life on his face:

“May the Qi of the heavens be vast and my Tao prosper.”

After Qi Qian finished speaking, Wu Peng and Yu Bao also recovered. The five of them stood side by side at an altitude of ten thousand meters, watching a tiny crack appear in the horizon – as if a god had used a golden hairpin to pry open the curtain of night, and orange-red magma slowly seeped out of the crack, burning the clouds into translucent pieces of glass.

“May God bless the Blue Planet, and may God bless our country of China.”
–
The five people went down to Dazhou Island. It was already eight o’clock in the morning. The monks on the island were still in a state of meditation, digesting the good fortune of Emperor Liujiang, and sitting scattered around the island.

Li Yang did not interrupt him. He took a quick glance and his eyes were immediately attracted by the small black gecko on Liu Ming’s shoulder.

The little beast seemed to be full and curled up comfortably on Liu Ming’s shoulder, seemingly sleeping.

“This is?”

Qi Qiansu and Chi Yanhong also noticed the little gecko, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

“This little beast’s background is not simple…”

Li Yang pondered for a moment, then waved to interrupt the two of them: “Don’t alarm this spirit creature for now, just let it take its course.”

After saying that, Li Yang looked in the direction of the gecko and narrowed his eyes slightly.

According to legend, the dragon has nine aspects. Er Ya Yi says: The dragon is the leader of scaly insects. Wang Fu says that its shape has nine similarities: head like an ox, horns like a deer, eyes like shrimps, ears like an elephant, neck like a snake, belly like a snake, scales like a fish, claws like a phoenix, and palms like a tiger.

This little black gecko actually bears the sign of a crocodile transforming into a dragon.

“It’s just the beginning. There are so many scaly-feathered snakes in this world who want to transform into dragons. And how many of them can really transform into dragons from ancient times to the present?”

Li Yang chuckled and looked away from the gecko on Liu Ming’s shoulder: “But this idiot is quite clever. He even knew to find a transporter.”

Qi Qiansu and others knew that there was a disciple with strange luck in Baiyun Mountain. After hearing Li Yang’s statement, they stopped talking.

The five bosses each checked on the condition of their favorite disciples, and then returned to the platform to meditate and regulate their breathing.

At dusk, when Li Yang was breathing in the vital energy of heaven and earth, he was suddenly awakened by a violent noise on the island.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the air current on the island was swirling like a hurricane, and the energy was so chaotic that it was almost impossible to open my eyes.

In the center of the hurricane’s airflow, there were three glowing figures sitting cross-legged.

Hundreds of meters away, Li Yang could still hear the sounds of swords, Buddhist chants, and thunder. Black dirt and impurities were constantly discharged from the three little light men and then vaporized instantly.

Wang Xin and Zhao Ziyao have woken up and put up a cordon within a hundred meters around the three little light people to prevent others from approaching.

Qi Qiansu was also awakened by the noise. When he saw the three little light figures, his face was filled with jealousy and joy.
“It is worthy of being called the Qi-eating method. It can really help me skip the hundred-day foundation-building process and directly reach the Great Dao!”

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li, Baiyun Mountain has three more Xiantians!”

Li Yang smiled with relief, then nodded lightly.

However, after a few hours, Li Linger was the first to break through to the innate realm. When she stood up, there seemed to be a clanging sound of swords on her body, causing Wang Xin and Zhao Ziyao, who were protecting her, to feel a sharp pain on their faces as if they were being cut by a knife.

After a brief acquaintance with her physical condition, Li Ling’er was surprised and delighted, and then she bowed to Li Yang and thanked him: “Disciple Li Ling’er thanks Master for teaching us!”

Li Yang nodded lightly and smiled with relief.

People like Li Linger, Xiao Zhuoma and Wang Shuhuan were naturally talented, and they had also early on nourished their body’s acupoints and meridians, and obtained the supreme spiritual object Emperor’s fluid to nourish their souls. Li Yang had anticipated that they would be able to make a breakthrough.

A few minutes later, little Zhuoma was the second to break through. When the light on her body dissipated, bursts of Sanskrit sounds suddenly rang out on the island, making people feel peaceful when they heard it.

Upon hearing that Li Linger had broken through to the innate realm before her, little Zhuoma gritted her teeth in anger. After a while, she had to accept the reality. She then knelt down to thank Li Yang for teaching her the Dharma, and then chose a wooden house like Li Linger to familiarize herself with her innate strength.

While Wang Shuhuan was still breaking through, Zhu Ling and Liu Ming beside him also emitted black light from their bodies, causing Li Yang to exclaim in surprise.

Li Yang was not surprised that Liu Ming broke through. Although this guy’s aptitude was a little lacking, he had special luck and was a man born for the times. With the help of the Dragon Alligator, it was not difficult for him to break through with the Qi-eating method.

What amazed Li Yang was Zhu Ling, who had learned the method of eating Qi very early on.

Zhu Ling’s talent is just above average. Even though he used the ‘Seven Auxiliary Brews’ to optimize his physique, he is still not a genius.

“It’s fate and time. Zhu Ling has spent ten years practicing the ‘Jade Leaf and Golden Tablet’, and with the finishing touch of the ‘Emperor’s Flowing Blood’, he has finally gotten what he wanted.”

Chi Yanhong opened his eyes, saw the strangeness on Zhu Ling’s body, and expressed his feelings.

Zhu Ling’s breakthrough phenomenon was different from that of the other four people. In her early years, she had recovered a ‘ghost baby’ to practice the Yinshan Six Techniques. At this time, the ghost baby also appeared, and seemed to be absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth along with Zhu Ling’s breathing, trying to break through.

This is also the reason why the ‘Yinshan Method’ is called the strongest Yin Method. The little ghosts cultivated by the ‘ghost raising’ technique of the Yinshan Method can evolve together with the master of the method and gain benefits. Once Zhu Ling successfully breaks through, he will also get a congenital little ghost, and his combat power will soar directly.

Zhu Ling practiced the ‘Jade Toad Eating Qi Method’. The Jade Toad is Yin in nature, and is naturally compatible with the Yinshan Technique. Or maybe it was because Zhu Ling had been honing her skills in the Qi Ling realm for too long. Half a minute later, she actually broke through to the innate realm before Wang Shuhuan.

Suddenly, there was a gust of cold wind on the island, and a cold wind blew in all directions, making everyone’s hair stand on end.

Zhu Ling opened her eyes, and tears streamed down her face in an instant. She could not believe the spiritual energy surging through her veins, and wept as she bowed in the direction of Li Yang.

“Disciple, Zhu Ling, thank Master for teaching!” Only she and Li Yang knew how long and how hard it had taken Zhu Ling to go from a humble person stuck in the mud to the one who now possesses the innate true teachings.

To some extent, she was also the master of Li Ling’er and Xiao Zhuoma. As early as that time, she had wasted many years in the Qi Ling realm.

As Li Yang went into seclusion, Li Ling’er, Xiao Zhuoma and other talented people showed their talents, but the role of Zhu Ling, who was awakened by the spirit, in Baiyun Mountain became less and less important. Even Wang Xin, who wasted time with him, also achieved innate…

For ten years, Zhu Ling was not sure whether he could really enter the Xiantian realm by eating Qi.
Over the past ten years, she has thought about it countless times whether or not to practice inner alchemy. With her accumulation, it is almost certain that she will achieve inner alchemy.

But every time I thought about it, a thought quickly flashed through my mind;
How can a disciple of Baiyun Li Zhenjun turn to practicing inner alchemy?
She thought so, acted so, and waited so. Standing alone on Baiyun Mountain, she watched the flowers bloom and fall, and the clouds roll and unfold, for ten years.

“Good, good, good!”

Seeing Zhu Ling losing her composure like this, Li Yang felt his nose getting a little sour. He pointed with his fingers and carefully lifted up Zhu Ling who was crying.

“Go down and rest. As the eldest sister, you must take good care of the four junior brothers and sisters. If they don’t understand anything about the Qi-eating method, you must take the trouble to teach them…”

“Yes!”

Just this one sentence confirmed Zhu Ling’s status as the eldest senior sister in public.

After hearing this, little Zhuoma and Li Ling’er in the wooden house accepted Zhu Ling as their senior sister after a moment.

Zhu Ling has been a disciple for more than ten years, they all know this. The so-called competition for the position of senior brother (sister) was just a joke. These two just didn’t want to be suppressed by each other. As for who will be the senior brother (sister), they have no objection as long as it is not the other.

As Zhu Ling broke through to the innate realm, Wang Shuhuan and Liu Ming’s breakthroughs also slowly came to an end.

There were bursts of thunder on Wang Shuhuan’s body, and two mysterious thunders, one green and one blue, rushed out from the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, which was very beautiful.

There was a wave of air swirling around Liu Ming, which condensed into a strange beast that was circling and roaring beside him, causing the eyelids of the bodyguards Wang Xin and Zhao Ziyao next to him to twitch.

Since then, all five of Li Yang’s disciples have broken through to the innate realm.

Five days later, Li Yang, along with five disciples and Chi Yanhong, left the island first. Some of the other disciples returned the same way, while others stayed in seclusion on the island, with Wang Xin and Zhao Ziyao acting as their guardians.

For example, Yang Xinwu, Yan Fu, Yang Jiaqi, Song Ling and others also accumulated a lot of experience, and the inner alchemy and sword immortal methods they practiced required a hundred days to build the foundation.

The Taoist Alliance and the Special Bureau also had many seed disciples who had insights and built their foundations on the island for a hundred days. Qi Qiansu and Yu Bao, one in charge of the Taoist Alliance and the other in charge of Ji Jian, left first, while Wu Peng stayed directly on the island and waited for the disciples to finish their retreat.

During these three months, Dazhou Island was almost the focus of the world. Knowing that there were dozens of talented people who were about to break through to the innate realm, the capital city directly and exaggeratedly dispatched naval ships to patrol the waters several miles around Dazhou Island, and not even a seagull could fly in.

In mid-May of the eleventh year of the Lingli calendar, after a hundred-day retreat on Dazhou Island, Li Yang flew back to Dazhou Island on his sword and prepared to return to Baiyun Mountain with the disciples of Baiyun Taoist Academy.

During this hundred-day foundation-building period, thirty-six disciples of Baiyun Taoist Academy broke through to the innate realm, which can be called a blowout. The number is more than the thirty-six Taoist academies of the Taoist League combined.

In one day, the entire Chinese cultivation world seemed to have entered the innate era.

Because there were so many people, many disciples had to contact their families during their hundred-day retreat, so after asking for their opinions, Li Yang did not forcibly take them back to the mountain on his sword.

At that time, there were less than three hundred Taoists in retreat and guarding the law on the island. Under the official cruise arrangement, they arrived at the Qiongzhou Wharf by boat at three o’clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the Qiongzhou Wharf was packed with people. Almost all the well-known domestic media had reporters carrying cameras and swarming around the wharf. Everywhere you looked, there were crowds of people.

They had known the news long ago and had calculated in advance the end time of the hundred-day foundation-building process, so they arrived in Qiongzhou in advance to broadcast live the scene of the nearly one hundred new innate beings arriving on the island.

Li Yang frowned, disliking the noisy and chaotic scene, and wanted to fly up with his sword before the ship docked.

However, just as she raised the sword, a familiar aura among the crowd immediately caught her attention. After thinking for a moment, she finally put down the sword.

He used a Yang Shen technique to conceal his breath, and as soon as the ship reached the shore, while countless guns and cannons were surrounding it, he flashed through the crowd.

At the back of the crowd, a man and a woman stood on tiptoe and looked up, but there were too many people rushing forward and the two of them couldn’t get close at all.

A girl with a high ponytail and wearing canvas sneakers couldn’t squeeze in, so she shook the boy next to her hard.

“Mu Tou, you have good eyesight, please help me check if my cousin is on the ship?!”

“Wow, are these people in a hurry to visit the graves? They don’t have any forms on the cruise ship, what a squeeze!”

In the face of the girl’s anger, the boy was a little dull. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. He slowly lowered his head, and wanted to turn around and leave with a guilty conscience.

“Ke He, long time no see.”

A calm voice came from behind, and the man’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

When I turned around, Ke He had already run up excitedly.

“Brother, you’re finally here! I haven’t seen you for more than ten years. Tell me the truth! Have you forgotten that you have a sister like me?”

Compared with more than ten years ago, Ke He has grown into a graceful young lady, and has also achieved great success in maintaining her beauty. Her eyes and brows are still as pure as those of an eighteen-year-old girl.

“Ten years for you is just a blink of an eye for me. Only you forget me, how could I forget you?” Li Yang smiled faintly and touched Ke He’s hair lovingly.

Ke He had already broken through to the innate realm long ago, and he had absorbed the ‘Emperor’s Sap’ before, so he did not go to the island.

“How could it be! You are Li Zhenjun, who would forget you!”

Ke He’s face was serious, and he spoke every word clearly.

“Hey, this is a new friend I made in the past few years. I’d like to introduce him to you…”

Just as Ke He was about to turn around and pull the man behind him forward, Li Yang stretched out his hand to stop Ke He.

“No need. Your friend and I are old friends.”

“?”

Li Yang stood in the noisy crowd, but the reporters around him seemed to be unable to see him and passed by him one after another.

Before Ke He could ask, Li Yang stepped past her and stood in front of the man. His eyes were extremely complicated, mixed with a hint of disappointment.

Under Li Yang’s gaze, the man just lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.

“Master Gao Miao, it’s been a long time since we last met in the snowy mountains of the Western Desert.”
