Chapter 299: Chapter 185: Condensing the Holy Embryo, First Encounter with Marshal Qin!

Qin Shi gazed at the hazy image sealed by time, the spiritual fluctuations of He Lanchan almost contaminated his mind.

It made him feel an unbearable sadness, unable to hold back his tears.

So this is the true reason the Vice Marshal betrayed Dongxia?

“What exactly was the thing the Vice Marshal took away?”

Qin Shi couldn’t help but be curious, catching glimpses through the snippets he could find in history textbooks.

The Vice Marshal who once commanded the Fourth Battle Group, earning the steadfast loyalty of many proud soldiers, drove the Divine Machine out of the Imperial Capital, leaping a hundred times consecutively, heading north.

He was eventually intercepted personally by Marshal Qin, the two brothers clashing into that ancient celestial road.

After nine cosmic days, Marshal Qin emerged.

He announced the traitor’s death, the corpse drifting to the outskirts.

Undoubtedly, Marshal Qin’s move was a righteous act of family betrayal, worthy of admiration!

Since then, the Marshal whose early war achievements during the Great Expedition were outstanding, almost revered as the Republic’s sword, had his prestige unquestioned.

But from Qin Shi’s several instances of spiritual resonance with He Lanchan, it was evident that the Vice Marshal was still alive.

And he had become He Lanchan’s mentor, teaching the brightest among the first ten prodigies.

Could it be that Marshal Qin didn’t have the heart to kill, and spared his younger brother?

“Teacher, maybe I shouldn’t have taken this item out. The bloodline of the Zhu Clan is akin to a national treasure…”

He Lanchan murmured softly, his palm slowly closing.

The dazzling Light Key dimmed, vanishing soundlessly.

The figure with white hair gradually dissipated, as if melting into the Void Space.

“Incomplete outrage! Shameless cliffhanger!”

Qin Shi’s mouth twitched. With the spiritual resonance weakening, he could no longer perceive what followed.

He Lanchan’s form completely “collapsed,” disappearing from sight.

The inner confusion remained unresolved, as if teased, leaving him quite frustrated.

“Super Little He, do you have anything to add?”

Returning to clarity, Qin Shi looked at the white-haired boy under the tree shade.

The latter shook his head, his gaze vacant, his tone mechanical:

“I am your Dao nature incarnation, not He Lanchan himself. How could I remember these things?”

Qin Shi couldn’t help but regret. That dazzling Light Key contained enormous secrets.

If only it could be explained…

Forget it, Qin Shuai, destiny, covenants – these are far too distant, ten thousand eight hundred light years away.

Curiosity flashed and vanished, Qin Shi silently activated the Void Meditation Technique, absorbing the energy particles from the external world.

The violent, turbulent celestial light not only acted on his mortal body, stimulating flesh and blood, but also satisfied the spirit, nourishing the mind.

The cool and moist stream, like cold spring water, flowed into his body and mind, sinking gently, cleansing him inside and out.

Qin Shi felt so comfortable he almost wanted to cry out, feeling light and weightless, as if he could float.

The excruciating pain of his body being almost split apart by the celestial light was replaced by blissful enjoyment.

He opened his pores, stretched his muscles, immersed in the cultivation state as if drinking fine wine.

But gradually, something went wrong.

The energy particles being absorbed accumulated more and more, far exceeding the speed of digestion.

Qin Shi felt like he was forcefully eating at a buffet to get his money’s worth, to the point of bursting.

His mortal body felt like feathers, increasingly light, and increasingly sensitive, even the gentle breeze felt starkly noticeable on his skin.

“Ah!”

Qin Shi gasped, as the wind swirled around him, feeling like steel blades scraping his flesh and bones.

The real pain surged!

“Celestial light agitates flesh and blood, distorts the spirit!”

Qin Shi suddenly recalled Xu Sheng’s admonition, quickly gathering his mind to stabilize his meditation realm.

Due to his outstanding spiritual power, the process of absorbing energy particles remained unchanged, still not slowing down.

“This is bad, am I going to ‘burst’ myself?”

Qin Shi sat cross-legged on the Lotus Stone Seat, unable to help feeling a bit of a headache.

Even with spiritual meditation and minor achievement in cultivation, the continuous influx of energy particles into his body, like nutrients irrigating plants to promote growth, simultaneously strengthened his spiritual power, magnifying the sensory pain.

For the first time, he understood what “expansion” felt like.

It seemed as if he was about to explode!

“Use the Void Meditation Technique to condense the Holy Embryo.”

Super Little He spoke timely.

“Celestial light enters the body, spirit undergoes tribulation! In ancient times, it was precisely the opportunity to break through obstacles!”

Qin Shi realized the truth in these words, and directly opened his mind, accepting the energy particles that filled his entire body.

Then he activated the Void Meditation Technique, the ancient altar emerged, depicted.

Refined spiritual power intertwined, friction like sparks, burning like the surging energy particles.

The Inner Realm trembled suddenly!

Only to see the ancient altar rise with heartfire, refining a large swath of radiant clouds.

This place was like a pill furnace, heartlight like fire, celestial light like water, the two blending perfectly, embodying the ancient Daoist principle of Water and Fire Mutual Aid.

Gradually, the transforming telekinesis rapidly spun, like a sea eye, large streams of energy particles were absorbed and digested, turned into liquid droplets, suspended in consciousness.

Moments later, Qin Shi’s brain, spiritual power surged like a torrent!

It’s like turbulent waves, stormy weather!

The Void Meditation Technique mentioned two methods for condensing the Holy Embryo.

One is to absorb over a thousand units of Dimensional Energy, casting it into twelve facets of crystal, continuously polishing to perfection;

The other is to follow the ancient method, seeking a “Grotto Heaven Blessed Land” rich in energy particles, to accomplish the Hundred Days of Holy Embryo Formation.

At present, the dilapidated temple drawing celestial light was equivalent to an unconventional “Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.”

It was a suitable place.

As for the more than a thousand units of Dimensional Energy, this place could also supply sufficiently.
