Chapter 618 - Yuan qi true-self doppelganger

He consolidated and upheld his energy. With a calm look on his face, he began to operate the nameless breathing technique. He was constantly drawing the spiritual qi that had condensed into a clear gelatinous substance from the sky and refined it a little at a time. This was a very long and boring process.

The majestic spiritual qi was operated by the nameless breathing technique, ran along the meridians of Ye Qingyu. Its flowing speed was very slow, and each time Ye Qingyu could only obtain a small amount of the spiritual qi, otherwise the tremendous spiritual qi was enough to instantly burst his meridians.

Time flew by.

Ye Qingyu sensed that as he constantly drew up spiritual qi to be transformed into his own yuan qi, those pure spiritual qi continued to nourish his meridians. Gradually this process broadened and strengthened his meridians, so that they were able to accommodate more yuan qi at the same time.

He tried to constantly increase the amount of spiritual qi that he could draw at a time. One wisp gradually became two wisps, then three wisps, until he could almost draw up ten wisps of spiritual qi at a time. In other words, his meridians had widened by ten times in these days of cultivation!

The nameless breathing techniquewas being operated at a much faster speed, and without the slightest stagnation.

And every time the dense spiritual qi in the air was thinned, the originally gelatinous semi-solid shape gradually became a dense gaseous substance. In the end, the spiritual qi in the sky turned into a few faint wisps floating in the sky, almost all completely absorbed.

This process lasted for seven full days!

The yuan qi sea at the lower dantian world was beginning to change.

The sea level of the yuan qi sea was rising and surging, and the waves that rolled up in the sea like hurricanes were getting higher and closer to the sky. The surging waves were more and more powerful, the colour of the sea was deeper and deeper, and the originally faint purple colour had gradually intensified and was more chilling than before.

The yuan qi sea of Ye Qingyu’s dantian world seemed to have experienced a long period of heavy rain with the rising water level.

A raging hurricane rolled over the sea and the surging waves hit the sea more violently. The monstrous waves joined into one like a million meter high cliff, surging to the other end of the yuan qi sea. Where it passed, Ye Qingyu’s dantian world seemed to have split with space-time cracks, a phenomenon that Ye Qingyu had never seen before!

He knew that his strength was rocketing at a rate that was frightening to even him.

The entire yuan qi ocean was not only undergoing a capacity change, the density of the whole yuan qi sea had become greater, and the yuan qi ocean was purer than before. It was a qualitative ascension.

The spiritual qi that Ye Qingyu was now refining was from a Demon Spider Prince who had been cultivating for one thousand years.

This power had already been through refining with the Demon Spider Prince, and after another process of refining with the [Blood Drinker Sword] and Ye Qingyu, the purity of the yuan qi power was far superior and purer than the yuan qi that Ye Qingyu absorbed from Heaven and earth!

Time slowly went by.

When Ye Qingyu had refined the last wisp of spiritual qi in the sky, above the yuan qi sea, the surging waves had risen to a height of nearly ten thousand meters!

Ye Qingyu drew a long breath, stopped operating the nameless breathing technique, and carefully examined the changes of the yuan qi ocean.

“Ah... almost there, I have refined the spiritual qi absorbed. The height of the yuan qi wave had reached almost ten thousand meters high! It seems that I will soon be able to break through the peak of Heaven Ascension!”

Ye Qingyu looked at the nearly one-million-meter-high giant wave, nodding in satisfaction.

“But now I am still at the peak of the Heaven Ascension. To break through to the Immortal Step boundary I will need more power!”

With this thought, his palm flashed, and the [Blood Drinker Sword] covered in red markings appeared in his hand.

“In the battle of Flowing Light City, my opportunity has arrived. Why don’t I press on and attack the Immortal Step boundary with this opportunity!”

Ye Qingyu had a plan.

His two fingers lightly wiped the sword body, when a crisp and distant sword cry sounded.

The [Blood Drinker Sword] trembled slightly, seemingly enjoying Ye Qingyu’s touch. The [Blood Drinker Sword], as though possessed of a spiritual nature, was automatically transporting the spiritual qi stored in the sword body into the body of Ye Qingyu.

Majestic spiritual qi, like a surging tide, flooded into Ye Qingyu’s body.

But in only a few moments, Ye Qingyu felt that his dantian world was nearly full. He immediately stopped drawing up energy and stored the [Blood Drinker Sword] back into the [Cloud Top Cauldron].

Feeling a full-body of yuan qi, he smiled and closed his eyes.

The nameless breathing technique was activated again.

Ye Qingyu once more began to refine the spiritual qi from the [Blood Drinker Sword].

An endless stream of spiritual qi passed along from the [Blood Drinker Sword], and after the previous seven days of refining, the experienced Ye Qingyu could now refine at a speed ten times faster that before!

What the [Blood Drinker Sword] had absorbed was the purest energy that a Demon Spider Prince had cultivated and refined for nearly one thousand years. How terrifying was this power. Even if Ye Qingyu’s current speed of refining spiritual qi was several times faster than that of ordinary people, it still took him a full ten days to refine two thirds of the energy inside of [Blood Drinker Sword].

In these ten days, Ye Qingyu had repeatedly drawn up strength from the [Blood Drinker Sword] and continued to operate the nameless breathing technique to refine it. This process was repeated a dozen times!

After a long period of refining, Ye Qingyu’s strength had reached an unbelievable level.

He once again observed the dantian world.

“Eh?”

Right away, Ye Qingyu noticed a new change within his body.

In his dantian world, the magnificent yuan qi sea seemed to have undergone some qualitative changes.

In the midst of the monstrous waves, there appeared to be a huge illusory yuan qi shadow.

The shadow, which was more than one thousand meters high, was vaguely a humanoid figure. There were hints of purple around the shadow, and a pure chilly air was being emitted. Its shape and appearance were similar to those of Ye Qingyu, but the facial features were very vague, like an unborn child that had not yet fully developed was sleeping peacefully in the mother’s womb.

The humanoid figure was tall and straight, quietly standing in the air, arms naturally hung down the side of the body. Despite being a near transparent illusory shadow, there was a fearful and oppressive aura spreading out.

Just as the illusory humanoid figure appeared, a vague idea dawned on Ye Qingyu.

The yuan qi illusory shadow was like a doppelganger of him.

“Is this the yuan qi true-self doppelganger?” Ye Qingyu, after being taken aback for a moment, discovered something as he stared closely at the humanoid shadow in the yuan qi world.

Yuan qi true-self doppelganger was a monumental milestone in the yuan qi martial arts path.

Using the yuan qi power within the dantian world to understand the laws and the power of eaven and earth to create something from nothing, such as create one’s own body, forming a yuan qi living thing. The martial arts ancestor named this as one’s true self.

Once one cultivated to the stage of a true-self doppelganger, it signified that the martial artist had begun to break through the shackles of the physical body, beginning to realize the law and origin of the world, going from ordinary to extraordinary. It was a qualitative ascension.

The moment that Ye Qingyu saw the yuan qi giant, he realized this right away.

The yuan qi true-self doppelganger had been born, which signified that he was already qualified to attack the real Immortal Step boundary.

With this thought, Ye Qingyu tried to convey his will.

The next moment, the illusory shadow in the sky slowly lifted its arm!

Ye Qingyu’s face lit up in joy.

The will that he passed out was for the yuan qi doppelganger to lift its arm!

Then he tried to command the yuan qi doppelganger to blink, nod and do various other simple movements. Like his soul was illuminated, the yuan qi doppelganger in the sky executed his command one by one.

Ye Qingyu, who had always remained calm in the face of any events, had a look of joy and surprise.

The cultivation of the yuan qi true-self doppelganger meant that he had stepped foot into the Immortal Step boundary. Although this doppelganger was only in the initial embryonic form, but this was undoubtedly a qualitative change. His own will could be directly communicated to the yuan qi doppelganger. Although it could only perform some simple actions, but for a embryonic doppelganger it was already a very perfect performance!

The expression of wild joy and surprise soon faded, and he very quickly resumed his usual calm and composed state.

The tremendous illusory shadow remained motionless within the monstrous waves. The waves in the yuan qi sea slammed the sea surface, and the huge impact struck the yuan qi-formed sea water into wisps of faint mist that condensed around the tremendous yuan qi illusory shadow, leaving specks of light in the air.

As Ye Qingyu constantly refined the spiritual qi of the [Blood Drinker Sword], more mist-like yuan qi gathered around the illusory shadow and the silhouette of the shadow gradually became clear. In the dantian world, the illusory shadow-like yuan qi doppelganger gradually solidified until the outline of the body could almost be seen and its aura was getting closer to that of the real Ye Qingyu!

But even he did not notice himself that the speed at which he operated the nameless breathing technique seemed to have accelerated greatly. He continued to refine the power in the [Blood Drinker Sword], injected it into the yuan qi sea, and no longer deliberately paid attention to the yuan qi giant in the sea.

The raging waves of the yuan qi sea were blotting out the sky and within the monstrous waves was the constantly changing yuan qi true-self doppelganger.

The yuan qi giant’s aura was increasingly condensed, even if his facial features were still blurred. But his physique had become more solid, no longer just an illusory shadow, and there were already clear distinguishable limbs and a torso being developed.

The great yuan qi true-self doppelganger treaded across the yuan qi sea.

His every step was heavy and slow, and as if he was the master of this expanse of yuan qi sea, even the slightest movement it made brought about earth-shaking changes to this vast yuan qi sea.

The yuan qi giant slowly lifted up one of his feet, its movement suddenly producing a huge rapidly spinning vortex. With the vortex as the center, the seawater of the yuan qi converged from all sides. The entire yuan qi sea was frantically stirred by this vortex and the huge vortex had almost directly penetrated into the sea bottom.

The huge vortex was of immeasurable depths, and a mighty tear sounded from the bottom of the vortex. The sea continued to flow along the sea bottom.

Boom!

At the bottom of the vortex came a sudden earth-shaking bang.

The water in the center of the vortex suddenly flowed back to the sea surface, forming a huge white jet of water in the center of the huge vortex, like a platform had sprouted up from the bottomless vortex, and the jet of water suddenly halted as it gushed to the feet of the giant——
