Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

Shen Haoran was like a student, his gaze fixed intently on Elder Yan as he carefully listened to the requirements for becoming a Seventh Grade Alchemist.

"As you know, Seventh Grade High-Level Pills possess a certain spirituality. They can even develop their own Spiritual Wisdom, exhibiting human-like behaviors such as trying to escape after being refined. This is all due to the Spiritual Qi contained within an Alchemist’s Spiritual Thought.

What people call Spiritual Thought is actually a misnomer. To Alchemists, Spiritual Thought has a distinct division. Sixth Grade Alchemists and those below them only cultivate the ’thought’ aspect of Spiritual Thought. But once you reach the level above Sixth Grade—that is, Seventh Grade—you begin to cultivate the ’spirit’ aspect. This is a crucial dividing line for Alchemists. Only by becoming a Seventh Grade Alchemist can you truly be called an Alchemy Grandmaster!" Elder Yan explained.

’Spiritual Qi? A Seventh Grade Alchemist?’ Shen Haoran nodded thoughtfully upon hearing Elder Yan’s explanation. ’No wonder I always felt like something was missing in my Sea of Consciousness whenever I tried to break through to the Seventh Grade. It must be this so-called Spiritual Qi.’

"Then how does one obtain Spiritual Qi?" Shen Haoran asked, puzzled. He was certain that the Spiritual Qi Elder Yan mentioned was not a form of energy like Spiritual Power, but something else entirely—an energy he had never encountered before.

"Spiritual Qi, much like Spiritual Power, exists all around us. However, it’s extremely rare in comparison, so we normally can’t perceive it. If you’re asking where to find it, pregnant women have the most. The babies in their wombs need this Spiritual Qi for nourishment to develop their Spiritual Wisdom. That’s why some evil Alchemists, in their quest to increase their strength, will capture these women to forcibly absorb their Spiritual Qi. But this practice invites the wrath of the masses, so don’t you even think about it!" Elder Yan said in a solemn tone.

Hearing this, Shen Haoran couldn’t help but roll his eyes. ’Am I the kind of person who would stop at nothing to increase my strength?’ he thought, exasperated. ’I may crave power, but I’m not going to abandon all my morals to get it!’

"Heh heh, I’m just saying!" Elder Yan gave a mischievous laugh and continued, "Actually, Spiritual Qi is quite easy to find as long as you try to sense it earnestly. If I had to describe the sensation... it’s the feeling you had when you were in the womb!"

"PFFT—" Upon hearing this, Shen Haoran nearly coughed up blood. ’The feeling in the womb? Who could possibly remember what that felt like? Elder Yan, are you messing with me?’

"Well, I’ve told you the method. Whether or not you succeed is up to you," Elder Yan said with a shrug.

Hearing this, Shen Haoran could only manage a wry smile. He then formed a Sealing Technique with his hands, closed his eyes tightly, and began to search for the so-called Spiritual Qi that Elder Yan had described.

With his eyes closed, Shen Haoran’s Spiritual Thought surged out like a tide. He tried desperately to merge it with the world around him to find the Spiritual Qi. To his disappointment, however, no matter how he tried, he couldn’t break through. This left him feeling dejected and frustrated.

"Don’t try to force it. Relax your Heart Spirit. Think about the sensation the Heaven and Earth Spirits gave you. Since you don’t know what it felt like in the womb, try exploring the feeling of the Heaven and Earth Spirits at the moment of their birth. It might give you some inspiration!" Elder Yan’s voice rang in Shen Haoran’s ear at just the right moment, instantly calming his restless mind.

Shen Haoran’s Spiritual Thought gradually settled. Within his Primordial Small World, the two Heaven and Earth Spirit Seeds seemed to answer a summons, transforming into two streaks of light and instantly rushing into his Sea of Consciousness. Then, two currents of his Spiritual Thought surged forward, enveloping both Spirit Seeds.

This time, Shen Haoran didn’t suppress the innate nature of the two Heaven and Earth Spirit Seeds. He let them act freely while he quietly observed them.

RUMBLE...

Atop the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian’s Spirit Seed, pitch-black flames leaped and danced. A scorching heat slowly radiated outwards, churning Shen Haoran’s Sea of Consciousness. Freed from his suppression, the violent fire elementals grew rampant, and soon, a series of sharp cracks began to echo.

The Earth Spirit Profound Nether, on the other hand, was much quieter. Clusters of earthy-yellow light pulsed faintly, but otherwise, it remained still. However, the space around the Earth Spirit Profound Nether grew incredibly heavy. Even with his powerful Spiritual Thought, Shen Haoran found it difficult to maintain control.

Shen Haoran stared at the two great Spirit Seeds, his expression impassive as his consciousness gradually sank into them. In that moment, it was as if he was witnessing the very birth of the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian and the Earth Spirit Profound Nether.

As Shen Haoran’s Heart Spirit merged with the two Heaven and Earth Spirit Seeds, his outwardly projected Spiritual Thought seemed to be influenced as well. It began to pulse in time with the Spirit Seeds, soon entangling itself with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power.

As time went on, Shen Haoran slowly began to sense an extremely faint energy. The instant he perceived it, he had his Spiritual Thought latch onto it. Then, he began to slowly pull, attempting to separate it from the great mass of Heaven and Earth Energy.

The moment his Spiritual Thought made contact with that ethereal energy, Shen Haoran’s Heart Spirit trembled. An indescribable sense of comfort washed over him, and he felt as if his entire being had ascended, as if he had reached a new realm.

"Is this Spiritual Qi?" Shen Haoran murmured as he slowly extracted the energy, gazing at the wisp of white mist before him.

He sensed a familiar aura from this energy. It was like the energy he had extracted from nature when he created the artificial Spirit Seed, only this was far purer and more ethereal. Moreover, the energy it contained was immense. From just this small wisp, Shen Haoran could feel the purity of his Spiritual Thought instantly rise by an entire level!

"Haaa... Incredible!" Shen Haoran absorbed all of the Spiritual Qi in a single breath. A brilliant light, full of fiery fervor, flashed in his eyes.

"Again!" Having tasted the benefits of the Spiritual Qi, Shen Haoran licked his lips and frantically began extracting more of it from the Heaven and Earth Energy. He threw himself into his Cultivation, completely losing track of time.

"Brother Haoran, Brother Haoran..." After an unknown amount of time, a child-like voice roused Shen Haoran from his deep state of Cultivation. He opened his eyes to find Xiaorui standing before him, waving her hands.

When she saw Shen Haoran’s eyes open, Xiaorui said sweetly, "Brother Haoran, you’re finally awake! Grandmaster Feng said it’s time for us to leave for Central City!"

"Leaving for Central City? So soon?" Shen Haoran calculated the time and was stunned to realize that his Cultivation session had lasted for five whole days. The Pill Emperor competition was about to begin.
