Chapter 271: Chapter 132: The Beaten Western Patrol Envoy (3/3)

"This is the unique aspect of Divine Mandate and Heavenly Mandate..."

An Jing realized. A Divine Mandate with multiple correspondences possessed the rights to control a variety of Spirit Qi, enabling the cultivation of more numerous and complex methods, resulting in a more comprehensive grasp of Skills and Divine Skills.

Even if a Divine Mandate specialized in just one type of Spirit Qi, the precision in controlling that particular type of Spirit Qi, and the quantity of Spirit Qi one could possess, would certainly far surpass other Fate Patterns.

Furthermore... With Inner Strength as the realm corresponding to Qi Refinement, An Jing’s Martial Arts realm was thoroughly beyond that of cultivation.

Not counting the seventy types of Spiritual Power that the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban could control, An Jing could sense that when he experienced Divine Abnormality, he could control a total of over a hundred strands of Blood Fiend and Gold Fiend Spirit Qi.

If all went well, there would be one hundred and forty-four strands, which is also the number of a double Earth Fiend.

This number was not very high, as An Jing had not yet perfected Grasping Heavenly Moment.

Once perfected, An Jing believed that the limit of Spirit Qi control for a Divine Abnormality should be two hundred and forty strands.

With Inner Strength in the Martial Arts realm, An Jing’s Spirit Qi control number could directly surpass that of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban.

This was not because the Divine Prohibition was weak, but rather because Taibai Divine Prohibition before the Nine Prohibitions was essentially at the Inner Breath stage.

After completing the Nine Prohibitions, the basic amount of Spirit Qi would be one hundred and eight plus twelve, which is one hundred and twenty strands of Spirit Qi. This was already similar to the ordinary Divine Abnormality at the Inner Strength level; after all, not everyone was An Jing.

And starting from the Tenth Prohibition, each prohibition could increase an increment of Spirit Qi by the count of a Jiazi (a 60-year cycle).

Furthermore, every nine prohibitions brought forth the power of Divine Skills, making the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban no less formidable than any Martial Arts Secret Technique in the Embracing the Void Realm.

"Subdue Evil, it seems that Martial Arts can self-generate Spiritual Power using the power of Fate Pattern,"

At this moment, An Jing asked the Sword Spirit with considerable surprise. He felt that Martial Arts and Immortal Path truly complement each other, "If that’s the case, does that mean I don’t need Jade Cutting Steel anymore?"

"You’re thinking too much," Subdue Evil denied, "This is the essence of your Fate Pattern combined with the Essence Qi in your body to create Spiritual Fiend. In essence, it is still the refinement of your own power, and heaven knows how much you need to consume to replenish it."

"Keep in mind, ordinary Martial Artists, after using up their Spiritual Power, need a long time to fully recover. If you use this method to cultivate, you’ll drain yourself dry in a few days!"

"Only when you have achieved a Martial Meridian, or an Immortal Foundation, able to actively absorb a wide expanse of nature’s spiritual energy from a region and convert it into your own power, can you really self-sustain!"

"I see."

An Jing thought it over, feeling that made sense.

Life Force is the intrinsic power of the Fate Pattern, which continuously grows as people fulfill their destinies. Soul-Reviving Skills are about helping others and being helped in return, the Seven Fiend is about shattering what was to mark an end... Although there are different interpretations, accumulating Life Force is also an important part of cultivation.

Even if An Jing was of Heavenly Mandate, with immense power in his Fate Pattern, it was not to be squandered in such a manner.

He still needed to awaken other Life Stars, amass feedback power for Enlightenment, and enhance his understanding to grasp cultivation methods. How could he possibly waste such precious Life Force on synthesizing Spiritual Power to cultivate the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, which could be expedited using Spiritual Objects?

In any case, the realm of Inner Strength was a whole new world, and even if An Jing couldn’t be totally self-sufficient in cultivation, it would certainly speed up his practice of the Divine Prohibition.

Besides, in the Tianyuan Realm, An Jing could also disguise himself as a cultivator at the initial stage of Qi refining... Once he also raised his own cultivation realm to the post-Qi Refinement stage, his reserves of Spirit Qi alone would overwhelm all opponents of the same level!

"In that case, even the Inner Strength level of the Great Sect, I should be able to defeat, right?"

Although that was the thought, An Jing felt that even with Grasping Heavenly Moment, it would be very hard to win, and he probably couldn’t even withstand a few moves from the Dharma Body of Mingguang Dust at the peak of Inner Strength.

The peak of Inner Strength with Five Divine Abnormalities, as opposed to Four Divine Abnormalities, was a qualitative transformation. Five Divine Abnormalities had already begun to form an internal Formation, constructing one’s unique Divine Abnormality coordination, exerting far greater power than operating Divine Abnormality alone.

For instance, the "Pupil Fire" of Mingguang Dust was so powerful that An Jing simply could not defend against it, precisely because his internal "Six Yang Formation" multiplied the power of the Dharma Eye.

At present, An Jing’s Grasping Heavenly was only a Formation’s focal point, without any support; even if it could speed up, it was still just a plain slate capable of acceleration.

To confront Five Divine Abnormalities with just one Divine Abnormality was truly too difficult.

"Next, it’s time to cultivate the Bright Mirror Heart—now that I’ve attained Inner Strength, I can continue to cultivate the Great Self True Form Fist, and I must also ask Master for a set of Martial Skills suitable for the Inner Strength realm."

With that thought, An Jing returned to his small hut with a pleasant mood, meditated in a sitting position, and continued his cultivation.

However, the next day, Mingguang Dust did not return.

On the third day, Mingguang Dust’s Law Body came back briefly, but only appeared for a fleeting moment.

"Got into some trouble,"

Mingguang Dust had a rather serious expression, but his demeanor was still relaxed, "He Wuchang, that guy, actually managed to break through to the third level of the Divine Repository, and for some reason, he’s even planning to come near Kanming City... I beat him up, but his strength has greatly increased, so I couldn’t inflict a serious injury on him."

"To prevent this guy from continuing to stir up trouble, I need to drive him away first."

An Jing fell silent.

Because, as far as he knew... He Wuchang was the name of the Western Patrol Envoy!

—So when I was still contemplating how to deal with the elite squads of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect and the Western Patrol Envoy who might come personally, Master has already taken action and given him a beating!

No wonder there’s a rumor about a grudge between you two, and those few Demon Sect squad members knew that the Western Patrol Envoy had them come here specifically to target me, so there truly was a grudge!

An Jing was moved.

Although Mingguang Dust didn’t mention it with a single word, if it wasn’t for the sake of him, openly residing in Kanming City, and merely waiting for the Law Altar materials to be ready to send You Ruhui away, Mingguang Dust would have never rashly taken the risk of exposing himself to battle another high-ranking True Person from the Divine Repository.

While there was also the element of a long-standing rivalry and mutual disapproval, more than that, it was definitely about protecting ’Jing Xuan’.

"Hmm,"

Mingguang Dust was busy, but he still took the time to give An Jing a serious look... and then he froze, "You... You’ve advanced to Inner Strength?"

"You advanced to Inner Strength?!"

Mingguang Dust was so shocked that even his Law Body trembled, and it took him a moment to calm down, but his tone was still very astonished, "What Divine Abnormality did you condense? Why can’t I see any changes?"

"Wait a minute..."

Suddenly, Mingguang Dust thought of a possibility, his eyes widened, and the dots of light in his Mysterious Yang Law Pupil trembled slightly, "Could it be... it’s a Divine Abnormality of the Soul and Spirit?"

An Jing nodded slightly, he didn’t say much.

But Mingguang Dust himself figured out a lot of things.

"In the Endless Heavens, I remember the supreme Divine Skill of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect has a precursor..."

He fell into thought, murmuring to himself, "Could it be..."

Mingguang Dust looked at An Jing.

An Jing did not speak.

But his silence in itself, was a form of acknowledgment.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Seeing An Jing’s attitude, Mingguang Dust suddenly laughed heartily, he raised his hand, placed it on An Jing’s shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I really didn’t expect this, I still underestimated you, far too much... As a master, I’m truly not worthy."

"Don’t worry," before Mingguang Dust’s Law Body turned to disappear, he left one last sentence, "He Wuchang... no, no one from the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, will be able to come and harass you for some time."

"I promise."
