Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 492 - 226: Ninth Grade Sixfold Nirvana, Spirit Palace Collapse (2)

Chapter 492: Chapter 226: Ninth Grade Sixfold Nirvana, Spirit Palace Collapse (2)

Over the years, Gongsun Bai has been researching aspects of Qi Refiner practices, attempting to fill the void left by his inability to cultivate Martial Dao.

Xu Guang was not too optimistic about it, considering the requirements for Qi Refiners far exceed those for Martial Dao. Since Gongsun Bai couldn’t cultivate Martial Dao, the challenge of cultivating as a Qi Refiner would only be greater.

"Miss Gongsun, you have remarkable perseverance."

"Sect Leader Xu, just like Purple Cloud, you can call me Little Bai."

Little Bai?

Xu Guang ignored this and pondered, "Do you mind if I... take a look?"

Gongsun Bai nodded calmly. She sought Xu Guang’s guidance, so she naturally needed to let Xu Guang understand her condition.

He placed his hand on the top of Gongsun Bai’s head, and his Divine Soul Power transformed into a black snake, entering Gongsun Bai’s body. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Gongsun Bai endured a twinge of discomfort, surprise gradually appearing in her eyes.

This was the first time Xu Guang used this method to enter someone else’s body.

In some sense, this was an invasion, though Xu Guang had no intention to harm Gongsun Bai.

What surprised Xu Guang was that Gongsun Bai had indeed manifested her Spirit Palace through cultivation, but it had clearly started to show signs of decay, like a ruined wasteland.

This was the result of her repeated attempts at cultivating the Spirit Palace.

Xu Guang’s Divine Soul approached, sensing a mild resistance from the Spirit Palace.

Perhaps Gongsun Bai’s power was too weak; the slight resistance was negligible.

Xu Guang used his own Mixed Element Source Qi to soothe Gongsun Bai’s Spirit Palace, observing intently.

Every Qi Refiner’s cultivation is different, constructing their own Spirit Palace in the Dantian. While influenced by their cultivation technique, the true essence always lies within oneself, the past, and the future.

Xu Guang’s own Spirit Palace now took the shape of a Spirit Furnace, gradually perfected through cultivation. He had little by little eliminated any influence from his cultivation technique, fully developing his Human Furnace Talent.

Gongsun Bai’s Spirit Palace was almost entirely abandoned. To Xu Guang, it seemed beyond salvation. But strangely, in such a collapsed state, others would struggle to survive, yet Gongsun Bai’s condition appeared peculiar.

Her outward appearance was completely healthy, as if supported by an exceedingly odd vitality.

Xu Guang felt curious.

Perhaps influenced by Xu Guang, three Dao Spirals emerged from the collapsed Spirit Palace, with something faintly enveloped within them.

They formed a Three Spheres arrangement.

This was the vision Gongsun Bai had when she cultivated, reflecting her own goals.

Her vision was lofty and vast.

For a time, Xu Guang couldn’t discern the problem within Gongsun Bai’s Spirit Palace or how to address it.

Gongsun Bai, however, was shocked.

The Spirit Palace is a person’s core, also a barrier in cultivation. If someone could easily traverse another’s physical Spirit Palace, it would be an unimaginable disaster.

The consequences would be significant and far-reaching.

Low-level cultivators having no secrets from high-level cultivators.

At least, in all the books Gongsun Bai had read, no one could enter another’s Spirit Palace effortlessly like Xu Guang.

One thing she was almost certain of, Xu Guang must also be a Qi Refiner.

Xu Guang withdrew from Gongsun Bai’s Spirit Palace.

"Sect Leader Xu, you... are so powerful."

"Thank you, people often say that, but somehow your compliment is the most comforting," Xu Guang said casually.

Jiang Zi Yun, who had been watching from the side, quickly approached and asked, "Is there a solution? Little Bai is quite pitiable."

Xu Guang smiled, "Don’t worry, it’s not difficult at all."

He secretly connected to the Five Emperors Gate, summoning the Black Shadow feigning death in the Earth Gate.

...

"Someone like you going to Hongze should not blend into the crowd, but speaking of exceptional, it’s still early," the Black Shadow said quietly, emerging from the Earth Gate.

"What is your true identity? Do you know something about Hongze?"

Xu Guang ignored the Black Shadow’s words and instead inquired about his background and identity, his curiosity piqued by the Black Shadow.

The Black Shadow didn’t answer, "What exactly do you want to know?"

He was quite displeased with Xu Guang, being summoned from the Earth Gate for the first, mistaken belief that Xu Guang was interested in some of his techniques. Over time, he realized Xu Guang viewed him more as a tool, or a collection of anecdotes.

Xu Guang never paid attention to the Secret Techniques previously mentioned.

He would never ask about ordinary cultivation or issues, but only sought him out for stories and anecdotes.

"Your Divine Soul has traces of Source Qi; you must have been quite a Qi Refiner in life?"

"What do you mean, ’in life’? I’m not dead," the Black Shadow retorted.

Xu Guang had no patience to argue these points with the Black Shadow.

"I have a friend whose Spirit Palace has collapsed but doesn’t seem severely affected. In such a case, do you know the reason?"

The Black Shadow fell silent, pondering, "Did she encounter something previously?"

"Her Spirit Palace is quite strange..."

As he spoke, Xu Guang recounted what he had seen within Gongsun Bai’s Spirit Palace.

The Black Shadow’s face also bore a peculiar expression, "Has your Qi Refiner cultivation reached the Three Secret Realms?"

Xu Guang’s detailed description made it sound as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

"Do you know or not? If not, then go back."

The Black Shadow hurriedly responded, "In such a scenario, she likely has a unique Qi Refiner constitution. In her youth, for some reason, her constitution was ruined by external forces. Originally, this constitution should slowly recover, but as you said, she forcibly attempted Spirit Palace Foundation Building twelve times, causing it to collapse entirely..."
