That suddenly disappearing **** was replaced by a profound and unmatched idea that surged into Zhou Qing's mind, and an even stranger picture appeared in the air.

  As if in the high sky, the azure sea surface, the vast ocean with nine black dots the size of sesame seeds scattered in between, those black dots formed a strange pattern that Zhou Qing had never seen before. The line of sight gradually descended from the high sky, and Zhou Qing only discovered that the nine black dots were nine huge islands standing in the middle of the ocean. Flocks of red, blue, yellow, and colorful seabirds flew back and forth above the islands, occasionally with sea winds blowing over, rolling waves hitting the billion-year-old, crystal-like rocks, emitting a loud roar. The azure crystal-clear seawater, the massive islands, the rolling waves, and the colorful seabirds formed a perfect painting. Zhou Qing was on the scene, as if people had melted into the heaven and earth in the picture, a joyful feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

  The scene suddenly changed, and huge fish swam back and forth, giant lobsters crawled around, transparent jellyfish stretched out, strange seaweed floated, and colorful coral reefs appeared before Zhou Qing's eyes. Zhou Qing knew that the scene had shifted to the seabed, where at least tens of thousands of acres of coral reefs stood, with a magnificent palace rising from them, emitting a soft white glow all over its body. The blurry vision made it impossible to see the scenery inside. "Crystal Palace!" Zhou Qing's first thought was that this must be the legendary place where the Dragon God of the Four Seas lived.

  The screen suddenly disappeared, and **** appeared out of thin air, slowly falling to the ground, restoring its original colors, without any noticeable changes. Zhou Qing woke up from the image displayed on the screen, as if he was confused like a giant golden Buddha. This series of events had indeed exceeded Zhou Qing's imagination.

  Zhou Qing carefully pondered the mysterious idea that had been passed down to him, only to discover that it was a set of cultivation techniques. Zhou Qing was overjoyed, as his own innate abilities had not progressed much due to the lack of advanced cultivation techniques and spiritual elixirs. He had only made slight progress after obtaining the Xishan sword cultivation technique, reaching the middle stage of Qi Refining.

  Zhou Qing's understanding of the formation method, although not a master of his generation, can be considered to have made some achievements. The "Practitioner's Compendium" is a comprehensive and living guide to formations.

  However, for his own cultivation path, there is no reference to the method, and the method passed down by Lingyun's old Taoist is a second-rate ordinary product. Zhou Qing is just a rookie. However, this set of skills from **** must be extraordinary, it can't be an ordinary product.

  As for the path of cultivation, Zhou Qing was a rookie, but he still knew a bit about it.

  Buddhism focuses on self-cultivation, divided into three veins and seven wheels. Taoism focuses on the condensation of the original spirit. Each has its strengths, some specialize in cultivating the original spirit, some specialize in cultivating the physical body, and some cultivate both. The emphasis is different, and the resulting techniques are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River.

  But generally still refer to the human body's eight extraordinary meridians, twelve regular meridians. To guide the various spiritual energies between heaven and earth, wandering energy to exercise the physical body, supplement the original spirit.

  Or with the help of objects, such as sword polishing, or relying solely on physical absorption, such as meditation.

  The energy absorbed is also different. The demonic path mainly absorbs the dead qi, the pure yin qi from the ground, and the Taoist sects absorb the spiritual energy, also known as the immortal energy. There are also sects that use the five elements to cultivate, such as the Five Elements Sect, and those that use the true fire of the sun to cultivate with yang energy, such as the Pure Yang Sect. The remaining Buddhist, demon, witchcraft, and head-hunting sects all use different energies from heaven and earth.

  Of course, cultivating a path is nothing but transforming oneself and constantly evolving. Buddhism, Taoism, demons, and monsters all have similarities in that they pursue powerful strength. Throughout history, there have been those who cultivate both Buddhism and Taoism, or both demons and monsters, and even those who cultivate Taoism and demons together, as well as those who cultivate multiple paths at once. However, the danger is also multiplied. Those who go astray and become possessed by evil spirits, are blown to smithereens, or have their bodies and souls destroyed, are not uncommon either.

  Zhou Qing obtained this set of skills, but it was indeed strange and wonderful. It completely abandoned the theory of the three meridians and seven wheels of the human body, the eight extraordinary meridians, and the twelve regular meridians. Instead, it divided the body into eight extremes and nine orifices, and the roaming energy it activated was something Zhou Qing had never seen or heard of before.

  Zhou Qing's mind was filled with doubts: "What kind of skill is this? How can it be so strange? Could it be a cultivation method from an ancient demonic tribe? But this clearly has Buddhist **** on it. The fact that there are ancient demonic tribe texts on top of the Buddhist **** is already strange enough, and now they've come up with a crystal palace and this set of skills... should I practice it or not?" Zhou Qing was hesitant.

  "Whatever, I'm also a master now. With the power of Huaxue Shenjian restored, it's just right to use it to refine the flying sword into a treasure. At that time, even if I'm not invincible or an unparalleled master, at least I won't be running away. It's just that my own cultivation is slightly inferior, but I also can't cultivate such a strange technique, in case I become neither human nor demon."

  Zhou Qing made up his mind to study it first, after all, safety always comes first. Snap! Zhou Qing put the fallen Huaxue Divine Knife into his second body, wrapping it with his divine sense. Now the Huaxue Divine Knife's abilities had recovered, and more importantly, a hint of consciousness that had been produced from its energy struggle with the "Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree Staff" over several thousand years had completely disappeared, just in time for Zhou Qing to cultivate it into his own treasure.

  As soon as a magic treasure develops its own consciousness, it becomes difficult to control. Such a magical treasure is useless when facing an enemy. Think about it, an uncontrollable magic treasure is no better than not having one at all! Especially for more powerful magic treasures, the stronger their consciousness, the harder they are for their masters to control. Therefore, whenever a magic treasure develops even a hint of spirituality, its master will erase it. A magic treasure that has developed complete awareness has never appeared before.

  On the other side, Zhou Qing walked into the living room and saw Liao Xiao Jin helping Little Fox with his injury. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What are you doing? What happened? Didn't Little Fox's injuries from that day heal yet? It doesn't make sense! I clearly checked on him."

  "Master! I told you not to learn that monk's magic, what's the point? The little fox was stunned by your six-word mantra, my ears are almost deaf, and even Sister Disciple was injured while practicing over there." Liao Xiao Jin said with a bad tone.

  "When did I learn the Six-Word Mantra?" Zhou Qing was confused, and suddenly remembered that the **** had made such a sound earlier. "Oh! So that's what happened, no problem! Master, I've recovered my powers now, can't even this small thing defeat me?"

  Zhou Qing raised his hand, and a strand of true yuan condensed into spiritual energy gathered together, breaking through the air and pouring into the little fox's body. The little fox stirred slightly, slowly coming to. Zhou Qing, however, noticed Zhou Chen practicing his skills over there.

  Looking at Zhou Chen enveloped in white mist, Zhou Qing used his divine sense to take a look and felt that the white mist was a completely different kind of energy from the spiritual energy he absorbed using the Sword Qi Ling Kong Technique. 'It seems this is the demonic energy that demons cultivate and absorb!'
