Chapter 713 Divine Dwelling Medicine (1/2)
The capital of Great Wu.
More than half of the Great Wu palace had been burned down by Wu Yao. The remaining buildings were temporarily used by the Great Zhou Empire. This was also where Qin Yu, Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao resided.
In a quiet courtyard.
Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged in a rock garden. His eyes were tightly closed and a chaos halo slowly rotated behind him, continuously absorbing the surrounding Genesis Qi.
His training continued for a good while before he opened his eyes and the halo behind him gradually faded.
“I’ve become more sensitive to Genesis Qi after entering the Divine Dwelling stage.” Zhou Yuan muttered to himself. With the Divine Dwelling halo, the absorption rate of Genesis Qi had soared and the efficiency of his training was at least ten times greater than what it was during the Alpha-Origin stage.
After a few days of practice, however, Zhou Yuan began to feel the difficulty of cultivation in the Divine Dwelling stage.
Once one stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage, progress was tied to one’s own Divine Dwelling. A newly formed Divine Dwelling was imperfect and needed to be polished constantly by Genesis Qi to gradually perfect it.
Zhou Yuan's current Qi Dwelling was a nine heavens Divine Dwelling which was akin to establishing nine separate domains.
The nine heavens were not connected to each other and there seemed to be some kind of mysterious barrier between them. Only by connecting these nine heavens would they gradually fuse together, which would also prepare him for advancing to the next cultivation stage, the Heavenly Sun stage.
When he opened a path to a new heaven, the Genesis Qi of the two heavens would integrate, causing his Genesis Qi to skyrocket.
However, what troubled experts of the Divine Dwelling stage the most was to completely polish each heaven and ultimately merge all of them.
“It’s too difficult.”
Zhou Yuan let out a long sigh. He hadn’t been slacking off his cultivation practice, but the barrier between the first and second heavens was still as solid as a boulder and had not even budged an inch.
“The Divine Dwelling stage requires a huge amount of cultivation resources to support it. It’s useless to only rely on your own training.” While Zhou Yuan felt a headache coming on, he heard a clear and sweet-sounding voice.
Zhou Yuan turned his head to see Yaoyao standing at the bottom of the rock garden holding Tuntun.
“In the Divine Dwelling stage, there is a resource that is essential and indispensable.
“You must have done some homework too, and you should know what it is, right?” Yaoyao smiled.
Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, and then spurted out the words, “Divine Dwelling Medicine.”
These medicines had no effect on cultivation stages other than the Divine Dwelling stage, but were extremely precious to experts of the Divine Dwelling stage.
However, Divine Dwelling Medicines were extremely valuable. If one wanted to consume a large amount to polish their Divine Dwellings, it would be a huge burden for them. Therefore, many Divine Dwelling experts would rather abandon their freedom to join clans or sects in exchange for Divine Dwelling Medicine for cultivation training.
They could also exchange for Divine Dwelling Medicine in the Cangxuan Sect, but the price wasn’t low at all.
Zhou Yuan hadn’t reached the Divine Dwelling stage when he left the Cangxuan Sect. But given his contributions, even if he were to exchange for some Divine Dwelling Medicines, he would likely obtain at most a dozen of low grade Divine Dwelling Medicines.
Yaoyao stretched out her hand and gently patted the spatial bag hanging from her waist. There was a sudden glow as dozens of jade boxes flew out and floated in front of Zhou Yuan.
The jade boxes automatically opened, revealing rows of bizarre flowers and fruits that gave off a dazzling brilliance. Although strangely shaped, every single one emitted incredibly pure and powerful Genesis Qi.
“Divine Dwelling Medicines?” Zhou Yuan exclaimed.
“These were found in the Great Wu treasury. Your father knew that it would be useful for your cultivation so asked me to bring them to you.”
Yaoyao tilted her head and continued, “Unfortunately, they are all just low grade Divine Dwelling Medicines. The others must have been used by King Wu to break through to the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage.”
Zhou Yuan’s face still lit up with joy. “This is already very good. With these, my progress should improve a lot.”
He flung his robe and contently stored away the Divine Dwelling Medicines into his spatial bag.
Watching Zhou Yuan put away the medicines, Yaoyao blinked her eyes and said, “Since you have fully retrieved the sacred dragon blessing from Wu Huang's body. You should prepare to advance to the second level of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
“Once you reach the second level of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, your Omni Python Qi will evolve into the grade seven World Subduing Heavenly Serpent Qi.”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes blazed in anticipation as he stared intently at Yaoyao.
He had been hoping to master the World Subduing Heavenly Serpent Qi for years. It was only when he regained the sacred dragon blessing from Wu Huang that he finally had the qualifications to begin mastering it.
The Omni Python Qi that Zhou Yuan cultivated was originally a grade five Genesis Qi but subsequently evolved into the grade six Omni Serpent Qi after he regained a part of the sacred dragon blessing from Wu Huang.
