With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 609 - 549: The Subtlety of Spiritual Scent, Unity of Heart and Dao, and the Mutating Sun!

Chapter 609: Chapter 549: The Subtlety of Spiritual Scent, Unity of Heart and Dao, and the Mutating Sun!

In the spiritual sea, everything appears hopeful and promising.

Meng Chuan raised his thumb, his Tao Heart encouraged, and with some excitement floated back into the Primordial Spirit.

With a send-off, he turned back.

He gazed at the spiritual sea, transformed by the [Sand Sea Illusion Crystal].

Yellow waves swallowed the whiteness, and winds howled through the sand.

The world was a piece of murky chaos, as if through frosted glass to outsiders.

Of course, it was his spiritual sea, under his full control.

Everything remained extremely clear, and these sands could be manipulated at will.

The scene before him inexplicably reminded him of a Demon Nest phenomenon.

The [Yellow Sand Heaven] he once experienced.

He reached out to catch a wisp, and his palm glowed with crystalline yellow light.

These sand hazes were useless for those on his side.

But he could feel that if an external enemy were to intrude, the sands would enter their bodies like that of the Yellow Sand Heaven.

Effectively imposing a negative status.

Useful indeed!

The windblown sand was an eye-sore, so Meng Chuan focused his thoughts and the sands sank to the bottom of the spiritual sea.

When his thoughts shifted, the yellow sand would once again fill the skies.

He then delegated this control.

To the [Guardian General of the Spiritual Sea], Dragon Demon No.2.

Only now did he remember this little creature, Meng Chuan glanced over.

Apart from the yellow sand over the sea, guarding the sturdy black iron wall was Dragon Demon No.2, whose body also underwent refining by the sand crystal, becoming somewhat yellowed.

Meng Chuan examined it carefully; the greatest change was the weakened sense of gaps in the dragon scales, like being smeared with a layer of yellow sand.

Overall, it appeared as if adorned with a sandy armor and distinguished it from the dragon demon’s true self.

Calling it over, he rubbed the dragon’s head with sand falling from his hand.

Meng Chuan reflected:

"This layer of sand shell seems to block certain spiritual powers, in the future when enemies invade, it will be at the forefront..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

No.2, having no mind, let him fiddle with it without knowing his secret thoughts...

He flipped onto the dragon, riding the "Earth Dragon" in exploration.

Examining in depth, the current sturdy black iron wall.

Black and gold interwoven, cold in color.

Golden spots covering nearly half.

Feedback in reality, aside from the visibly increased spiritual defense.

His spiritual power utilization efficiency had also notably improved.

The fundamental benefit when spiritual foundation is uplifted.

While descending to the Demon Nest, he couldn’t always carry the dragon demon out, and standby for long.

But it was enough to maintain its reality for a while, to confront the Demon Nest Master [Chi Li] himself.

The appearance of the dragon demon was indeed impressive compared to the two dragons of the plump monk?

Compared to its twenty-meter-long, dark dragon figure, any azure or yellow dragons were insignificant insects...

Returning his thoughts, he looked around the iron wall.

Gilded and shattered red, until it shone brilliant golden-red.

This procedure completed the spiritual foundation onto the path of postnatal evolution towards [Amber].

Another sand crystal of the same size could potentially complete the first step of "Gilding".

Under normal circumstances, Brahma there must at least tribute a piece to himself.

It should be secured...

As for other benefits, adapting as situations arise.

After all, Grandmaster Doma advised me to agree to go to the Dharma Realm but not too early...

Wait till that black monk speaks, then consent.

But deciding when to go is up to him, there’s no rush...

...

Exiting Introspection, he clenched his fist, fiery flames of strangeness burning brightly.

Clenching this ball of spiritual power, Meng Chuan’s face showed sentiments, his heart wistful.

The spiritual foundation’s path was increasingly strayed.

Just not the original sand-clay base anymore.

Utilizing spiritual power effortlessly like using one’s fingers.

Further progress would allow for throwing like javelins for ranged attacks.

Upon such thought, he remembered Tiger Soul...

Such an impeccably perfect javelin!

Couldn’t wait to sell it for a great spear...

"Wonder if Motohiko still wants it, emotional attachment might fetch a high price..."

...

Experiencing the enhancement brought by these two treasures.

Clearing distractions, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged.

Recently, besides the improvement in Fist Skill, Qi Observation Skill has made remarkable progress, facing Limit Breaking.

Apart from the guidance of Jue Ming the little monk, recently comprehending inexplicably insights while observing Buddhist scenes with Taoist techniques.

Hence the pace of progress hasn’t slowed at all.

During this process, Meng Chuan realized the crucial part.

For Qi Observation Skill to break limits, seeing "reason" is needed.

Observing the natural world and living beings, smelling their spiritual mechanisms, reaching no higher than Perfection.

If breaking limits, then it requires seeing "reason".

Including martial principles, the characteristics of reason are elusive, like invisible bands of light enveloping all human affairs.

Reason changes multitude but always anchoring in one’s own insights, making reality tangible.

Qi Observation Skill honed to Perfection level, no need to scent, just observation suffices.

Through experiment, Meng Chuan found:

Enhancing perception with Qi Observation Skill, reaching the human body, unfolding an aura.

[Vermilion] represents blood disaster, [Silver White] indicates fortune entwining.

If [Azure Black] cross, financial loss is needed for disaster relief.

Of course, this isn’t always accurate.

Through trial, the plump monk and Grandmaster Doma both broke financially upon seeing him.

But when azure-black was entwined, only Grandmaster Doma was there.

Perhaps somewhat accurate, perhaps...

Other factors are present, still under observation.

Additionally, since Qi Observation Skill advanced to Perfection.

He also could see through, what the Buddhist sect called "human aura and physique".

Both [Great Wisdom Sutra] and [Surangama Sutra] mention human aura and physique as external manifestations of the heart image.

If the heart is free of greed, anger, and delusion, the complexion appears clear.

If entangled by troubles, it appears gloomy, providing a direct signal for inner observation during cultivation.

The merchant aura resembles rolling gold, the intellectual aura seems like ink traces.
