I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 466: 【172】Shocking! Ancient civilization ruins!

In the metal city, it was as if time didn't exist.

Wang Longhu sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating his spirit in a state of introspection, beginning to examine his inner self.

He wanted to understand what 'qi and spirit unite, commanding qi with spirit' meant.

Qi is the essence produced within the human body through the spine, which even a common martial artist can achieve.

However, commanding it with spirit, that is, using spirit + consciousness to drive this essence out of the body, was somewhat too Xianxia, which was where Wang Longhu couldn't quite comprehend.

Beside him, the Taiping Master and his four disciples were still pressed to the ground by the gravity that was several times stronger.

The five of them stuck to the ground like turtles, looking very embarrassed.

"Master, Master, think of something quickly; if we continue like this, it won't do," one of the mages couldn't help but call out.

"Shut up," the Taiping Master harshly reprimanded, sounding agitated.

At this moment, even he was trapped here, what could he do?

If Wang Longhu and Chi Ming didn't save them, the only way to save themselves was to reach the realm of abandoning the physical body and achieving pure spirit.

"All of you calm down and project your spirit entirely into me; I have a chance to bring you all out alive," the Taiping Master glanced at the meditating Wang Longhu and whispered.

As the one who brought them to Shambhala and the former leader of the Taiping Heavenly Sect,

these disciples and subordinates of the Taiping Master surely wouldn't dare refuse in such a life-and-death situation.

Co-operating with the Taiping Master might offer a sliver of hope, but refusal would definitely mean a dead end.

At this point, they couldn't even raise their hands, let alone shoot themselves.

Facing death meant enduring the extreme pain and mental torment of starving to death, something unbearable for any sane person.

The Taiping Master's words were like a beam of hopeful light shining on these four disciples, and they gathered their spirits, attaching them to the Taiping Master.

Although their bodies were immovable under the intense gravity, their spirits, intangible as they were, were unaffected.

This was why in the metal city, one must become a spirit entity to survive.

Once the four disciples concentrated their spirits on him, the Taiping Master immediately felt his awareness become clear and unobstructed.

It felt like a dried sponge soaking up enough water, turning full of life.

As the Taiping Master closed his eyes and began chanting scriptures no one understood, his four disciples waited.

A few hours later.

The still-chanting Taiping Master suddenly stopped speaking, and his body, as if a cocoon transforming into a butterfly,

twisted and freed itself, revealing a dim shadow.

Though the shadow appeared somewhat flimsy, like duckweed in the wind, ready to disperse at any time,

it was evident that the figure looked exactly like the Taiping Master.

"Master! You did it!"

The eyes of the four disciples lit up with hope.

There was salvation, finally, salvation.

"Be quiet, I've only borrowed your spirits to temporarily achieve the realm where the spirit body can detach from the physical body. When time is up, it will need to return, or else the spirit body will collapse,

you wait here, I will explore the city and see if I can find a way to help you abandon your physical bodies."

The voice of the Taiping Master resonated in the minds of the four disciples like the guiding light giants earlier.

Having said that, the Taiping Master glanced at Wang Longhu, who was still meditating, then dashed into the depths of the metal city.

"Hahaha, there's salvation now, there really is,"

the four disciples excitedly muttered to themselves.

Wang Longhu slightly opened his eyes, casting a sidelong glance at the four, sneering.

The next moment, a shadow resembling Wang Longhu emerged from his face slowly.

Like a cocoon transforming into a butterfly, the entire shadow struggled hard to escape from Wang Longhu's body.

Additionally, Wang Longhu's spiritual shadow appeared far more solid than that of the Taiping Master.

If the Taiping Master's shadow was like a ghost, then Wang Longhu's shadow was nearly ninety percent lifelike.

"As expected, this Taiping Master has secrets. I memorized his chanting tone word for word and recited it once,

and I managed to achieve a state where the spirit can temporarily depart the body. That scripture must have a great connection to the Dan Ding Sect, otherwise how could it accomplish the 'embryo formation, emergence of the Yang spirit' effect."

Wang Longhu turned back, looking at his physical body sitting cross-legged in his original spot, and thought to himself.

"Not good, he also detached from his body!"

The moment Wang Longhu detached his spirit, the disciples of the Taiping Master naturally noticed it.

Their faces were filled with disbelief, for the Taiping Master borrowed the spirits of the four of them to achieve temporary spiritual detachment.

And these four disciples were mages in Singapore, comparable in strength to the Taiyin and Sun sects.

Their spirits were undeniably powerful.

But Wang Longhu, just relying on his own spirit, reached this point.

Doesn't this mean Wang Longhu's spirit is stronger than all of theirs combined?
