Chapter 515: Chapter 443 Seventh-layered Lotus+Chapter 444 Great Flame Kun_3

Zhou Ping’an awakened from the shock of the thirty-six-fold explosive power of "Purifying Lotus Body," and then scrutinized the effects after its completion.

He discovered that deep within his own flesh, not far from the Dan Zhong acupoint, a lotus mark had appeared between the tiny particles of his flesh.

Unlike the first six levels of operating the "Purifying Lotus Body," which required burning Blood Essence and vitality for a burst of tremendous strength:

After reaching the Seventh Level, the appearance of the mark allowed him to merely touch it with his mind, immediately causing a vast number of tiny flesh particles to collide and generate infinite mighty force.

He had no idea on what principle this collision was formed.

For the time being, Zhou Ping’an lacked the necessary knowledge to analyze the force operation between these underlying laws.

He speculated that it might be similar to the evolution of atomic splitting and explosion at the scientific level of contemporary society.

It was simply fission and fusion, collision, and combination.

Physical and chemical changes occurred...

Of course, it likely involved some enigmatic spiritual variables too.

Thus, as the lotus trembled, the inner particles of the body followed a bizarre trajectory, bursting and colliding, creating infinite transfer of force, augmenting the original strength of the body, and resulting in unbelievable miracles.

"This mode seems similar to some legendary divine skills..."

"Could it be that the Seventh-layered Purifying World Lotus has transformed physical strength into a form of divine skill? If so, the heritage of the Red Lotus Sect is truly profound."

Having glimpsed one of the three divine skills of the Red Lotus Sect and coupling it with the perverse aspects of the "Red Lotus Karmic Fire Visualization Method," Zhou Ping’an could only say that a sect with over a thousand years of heritage was not something he could fathom lightly.

Being able to steal their divine secret techniques was a reason for joy for now.

For now, he didn’t need to worry too much about any potential dangers or whether someone might come seeking trouble.

As long as he quickly grew stronger, strong enough to turn the tables,

Even the biggest trouble would become trivial.

"Can it be used freely now without damaging life expectancy?"

Green Lady suddenly reacted and asked worriedly.

"It can indeed be used, and operating the Lotus Body no longer requires consuming Life Origin Force, but that doesn’t mean there are no drawbacks."

Zhou Ping’an’s expression turned slightly bizarre.

He didn’t keep them in suspense.

"After reaching the Seventh Level, to activate the Lotus Body’s explosive power, it seems that the Divine Will, or willpower, is needed..."

Zhou Ping’an had also figured out why.

The tiny flesh particles in the body underwent explosive evolution and collision, generating peculiar mighty forces.

But, this transformation, which seemed to have solidified into a specific divine skill without requiring his conscious control, naturally wouldn’t activate on its own from nothing.

It required a significant extraction of mental and willpower from his own mind.

Simply put, the body was the hardware. Once it met the standard, the cultivated Lotus Body divine skill was the software.

Running this extremely powerful software required a lot of "electricity."

And this "electricity" was his own spiritual will.

"How many times?"

Green Lady asked curiously.

As long as it didn’t consume the vitality of the flesh or damage the life expectancy, she had nothing to worry about.

Spiritual will, after all, would recover after being used, replenishing considerably with just one session of meditation.

Moreover, as the soul transformed and cultivation increased, such spiritual consumption would likely become negligible later on.

Zhou Ping’an laughed, "Seven times."

Yes, he currently could activate the explosive power of the Lotus Body seven times using his willpower.

This situation was somewhat similar to the "Sea-Splitting Sword" technique he had comprehended.

That sword technique currently allowed four strikes, and using it excessively would also lead to soul fatigue and spiritual depletion...

It could only be said that at the very high levels of skill application, the role of the soul increasingly became prominent.

’In this light, the importance of the Heart Sutra of Vast Cold seems to be even greater than my imagination, being able to rapidly strengthen the soul and enhance spiritual power; what a significant advantage.’

...

The east was sunny and the west was rainy.

The sky over the eastern bank of the Li River was gloomy with drizzling rain.

On the western bank, however, the sun shone brightly, and the weather was hot.

Despite the scorching weather, Zhan Shanhe felt a chill in her heart.

She muttered despondently, "It’s over, it’s all over; Junior Brother Zhou’s plans have all been washed away..."

It wasn’t just her mood that was low.

Anyone whose leadership of a victorious army had culminated in the gathering of refugees, who were then prepared to be ushered across the river only to be captured, would feel this uneasy.

It wasn’t exactly capture.

Rather, her entire meridians were sealed; only her physical strength was accessible. Unable to employ Martial Intent or even a trace of True Qi, she was left completely powerless to resist.

Of course, she didn’t dare to resist either.

Even the thirty Inner Sect Disciples of the Cloud Water Sect under her command, who were also undergoing training, faced the same ordeal and were just as anxious, watching the sudden arrival of an old Taoist from the skies, clueless about how to react.

"Master Zhang, this doesn’t seem very appropriate. You, as a senior of the sect, have the authority to deal with disciples, but I am on a mission from my master to assist Junior Brother Zhou, and it wouldn’t be right to leave hastily. If this ruins his major plan, it would be difficult to report back."

Zhan Shanhe, struggling to suppress her restlessness, was forced to reason.

At this moment, taking her and other commanding officers captive and dragging them away meant that her command of over ten thousand troops essentially equated to defeat without a fight.
