The so-called Emperor-level cultivation methods were the secret techniques created by the ancient emperors of the Ancient Gazing Continent over countless eras. Some of them were complete sets, while others were secret techniques.
But no matter what, their power was extremely shocking.
Their mysteriousness and power were often unimaginable, so they were naturally incomparably precious.
In addition, Emperor-level cultivation methods were rare, so they became one of the foundation resources of all forces.
However, most of them could not be cultivated. The conditions required were extremely harsh. For example, many of them required the power of an inherited bloodline. This made almost everyone inferior.
Moreover, it was very difficult for different races to cross species to cultivate, which made it even more difficult to master.
Only a few of them did not require bloodline and could be cultivated by any species. This type of Emperor-level cultivation method was the most valuable. If any of them were to spread, it would make people crazy and helpless.
Crazy because of envy, helpless because it could not be taken away.
Once an Emperor-level cultivation method formed a seed, even if outsiders killed it, it would be useless.
Even if the contents of the cultivation method were revealed, outsiders would forget it after a glance. It could not be remembered.
Even if there was a special way to preserve memories, without the seed of inheritance in the body, one could not cultivate it.
The seed of inheritance was like a certificate. Only those who had it were qualified to cultivate it.
The Golden Crow Refines All Spirits was such a method.
To be precise, the Golden Crow Refines All Spirits was not a cultivation method, but a secret technique!
This secret technique was astonishingly powerful. According to the information Xu Qing had obtained, after cultivating this secret technique to the greater success stage, it could allow the cultivator to form their own Golden Crow Imperial Body.
Once the Golden Crow Imperial Body was formed, the combat strength of the physical body would step into the Emperor Realm. One could even transform into a Golden Crow and roam the nine heavens.
These descriptions and knowledge made Xu Qing realize that the Golden Crow Refines All Spirits was a set of body-tempering secret techniques.
The cultivation process paid attention to natural selection. It refined the origin blood of all races and spirits into one's body, constantly improving one's physical body, making it stronger and stronger like a magic treasure under the lotus' nourishment until it finally transformed into the Golden Crow Imperial Body.
After all, this was a technique created by the Golden Crow. Clearly, the Golden Crow did not have much of a concept of good and evil. To Chi, the weak were prey to the strong. Constantly evolving to become the strongest was the choice of his heart.
While constantly absorbing the origin blood of all races and spirits to strengthen his body, he could also seize the talents of the other party's races!
"This is extremely domineering.
"
However, there were also limitations. If one wanted to seize a race's talent, it was not enough to just refine a single clansman. One had to refine multiple clansmen of the same race, and the higher the cultivation, the better the choice. Only by accumulating so much would one be able to completely seize the talent.
At this moment, Xu Qing was leaning against the wall of the ship. His eyes were closed, and the information he had obtained this time quickly flashed through his mind. The more he thought about it, the faster his heart raced.
After a short while, Xu Qing opened his eyes, and his eyes revealed a wisp of shock.
"Emperor-level Body Tempering Secret Art!"
Xu Qing was no stranger to body refinement.
The first technique he had cultivated was the Sea-Mountain Incantation, which was a body tempering technique. That was why he had been so deadly back in the scavenger camp. Even after arriving at the Seven Blood Children, and witnessing the terrifying power of magical techniques, he still hadn't given up on body tempering.
This continued until his Ocean Mountain Incantation reached its limit after reaching the ninth level.
…
Even though the Yue Ying behind him was filled with lava and had an astonishing aura, and two molting lumps had appeared on its head, it still didn't complete its transformation and couldn't reach the tenth level.
This had nothing to do with Xu Qing. In fact, because there was no abnormality in his body, and because of the purple crystal, he had already cultivated the Sea and Mountain Technique to an unprecedented level.
What made him unable to break through in the end was the level of the Sea and Mountain Technique.
After all, it was just a low-level technique that was circulated among the masses.
The limitations of this technique forced Xu Qing to stop and use the Sea Transformation Scripture to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, his pursuit of body tempering did not decrease. After stepping into the Foundation Establishment realm, he had also exchanged for some body tempering techniques from the sect. However, after trying them out, the effects were not good, and they couldn't help him improve the level of the Sea and Mountain Technique.
Now, Xu Qing's eyes were shining.
He sensed some of the Golden Crow's Spirit Refinement and the Golden Crow's Seed of Inheritance that appeared in his mind, and he was eager to try.
'I wonder if my Sea and Mountain Technique will help me cultivate the Golden Crow's Spirit Refinement.'
Xu Qing murmured in his heart. He felt that since they were both body tempering techniques, there was a high chance that the Sea and Mountain Technique would help him cultivate the Golden Crow's Spirit Refinement.
However, his injuries were too serious at the moment, and it was not suitable for him to cultivate immediately. Hence, Xu Qing took a deep breath and endured the intense pain in his body. He began to regulate his breathing, and his Dharmic powers merged with the purple crystal to heal his injuries.
Just like that, time slowly passed.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
In these ten days, whether it was day or night, the shadow exuded an incomparable sense of loyalty. It shielded Xu Qing from the sun during the day, and guarded him under the sea at night.
Seeing all this, the Diamond Sect's Patriarch sneered in his heart, thinking, 'The more you act like this, the more that demon Xu will suppress you. Hua Jing, you're giving off the feeling that you won't become obedient until you're taught a lesson.'
Hence, the right way to go about it was not to overtly express loyalty, but to subtly influence him.
At the thought of this, the Diamond Sect's Patriarch controlled the black metal skewer to fly into the sky. It swept around the surroundings and returned, floating quietly in a position where he could observe all areas around Xu Qing.
In addition, although Xu Qing also encountered some sea beasts in these ten days, both the Diamond Sect's Patriarch and the shadow were different from Guan Jing. With their help, Xu Qing could recuperate in peace.
As for those sea beasts, Xu Qing did not kill them. Instead, he used the shadow as a rope to tie them up and place them under the sea, following him as if he was rearing them in a pen.
At the same time, under the continuous healing of his Purple Crystal, Xu Qing now looked fine except for his slightly pale complexion.
After the new flesh and blood were circulated by his transcendence energy, he was not much different from before he was injured. At this time, Xu Qing felt that it was time for him to cultivate the Golden Crow Refinement of All Spirits. "
Therefore, he sat down cross-legged and took a deep breath. That morning, as the sun rose into the sky, Xu Qing looked up and unleashed the Golden Crow Refines All Spirits that he had been working on for the past ten days. "Nine Heavens Cast Imperial Body; Golden Crow Refines All Spirits; Myriad Races Return to Me; My Life Illuminates the Vault of Heaven!
Xu Qing murmured in his heart. He clapped his hands together and placed them in front of his dantian. His thumbs clasped together and each of his hands spread out in a fan shape, looking like wings.
Then, he looked at the rising sun in the sky and took a deep breath.
In the blink of an eye, the sky in Xu Qing's eyes was like a lake that was slightly distorted. Ordinary people could not see it, but Xu Qing could feel the heat. It seemed to be coming from the sun in the firmament, sinking into his body through his mouth.
…
The Golden Crow beside Xu Qing's life lamp suddenly opened its eyes. Its wings shook as if it wanted to spread its wings. At the same time, it raised its head and swallowed the heat of the sun that sank into its body.
Immediately, the heat of the sun entered the Golden Crow's mouth. Its eyes opened slightly, but it did not seem to be able to fully open them. However, the slight opening of its eyes revealed a bright light.
This was the first step to cultivating the Golden Crow Refinement of All Spirits. It was to awaken the seed of the Golden Crow's inheritance in the body.
The way to awaken it was to take the first breath of the sun and nourish it with one's own blood.
Hence, in the next moment, the Golden Crow that could not fully open its eyes sucked in from Xu Qing's body. In an instant, it seemed to have turned into a black hole and sucked in all of Xu Qing's body.
Xu Qing's body trembled at this moment. His blood roiled violently. Strands of his blood scattered towards the Golden Crow. As they were absorbed by the Golden Crow, Xu Qing's body withered visibly.
His arms became loose, and his face caved in. At this moment, his body became thinner and smaller, and his clothes became even looser.
However, his expression was normal and he did not panic.
In the past ten days, Xu Qing had studied the Golden Crow Refines All Spirits. He already knew about this situation.
Hence, at this moment, he was calm and allowed the fledgling Golden Crow in his body to continuously absorb his blood.
Gradually, his body became more and more withered. He looked somewhat terrifying. The Golden Crow's absorption had reached a critical moment. It was struggling to open its eyes.
In truth, the Seed of Inheritance of any Sovereign level cultivation method would not be activated immediately after it was formed. Instead, the cultivator had to take the initiative to activate it. This was because the power required to activate the Seed of Inheritance was too great.
Generally speaking, very few people could satisfy the Seed of Inheritance with their own strength. Usually, they would need the help of the faction behind them to activate it, regardless of the cost.
For example, the Golden Crow Refines All Spirits required a vast amount of blood and Qi to activate it. Ordinary earth cultivators would not be able to support it at all. If they failed, they would face the danger of being sucked dry.
Xu Qing was able to last until now because of his astonishing body refinement. His body was refined and contained a vast amount of blood and Qi. If it were anyone else, they would have been sucked dry in an instant.
Even so, Xu Qing could not hold on any longer. He noticed that his flesh and blood were almost all dry and painful. He was like a mummy. Hence, a bright light flashed in his eyes. He activated the Sea and Mountain Art, and a shadow appeared behind him.
7D5p * r8p!
The moment the shadow appeared, it roared at the sky. The lava under its dry and cracked body boiled at this moment. Its aura was astonishing, and the power of blood and Qi was incomparably rich.
In the next instant, the shadow's body swayed, and a mist of blood and Qi spread out from its body. It quickly entered Xu Qing's body and surged into the Golden Crow.
The Golden Crow's body trembled. Under the strong absorption, the power to open its eyes grew stronger and stronger. The shadow withered rapidly. After more than ten breaths of time, the shadow collapsed and turned into a mass of blood and Qi that surged into Xu Qing's body and the Golden Crow's body.
The Golden Crow trembled. It tried its best to open its eyes completely. However, it seemed that even with the power of blood and Qi that Xu Qing currently controlled, it was still lacking.
The Golden Crow was only one step away from opening its eyes.
A strange light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. Without any hesitation, he raised his right hand and pressed it on the deck beside him. Immediately, a suction force spread from his palm to the spiritual boat. It directly extended to the core area of the spiritual boat, where Ju Ying's flesh and blood were located!
The moment it came into contact with Ju Ying's flesh and blood, Xu Qing's body rumbled. An astonishingly rich blood and Qi spread out from Ju Ying's flesh and blood and surged into his body.
After being swallowed by the Golden Crow, it finally completed what it wanted. It opened its eyes and let out a cry.
This cry contains the power of Daoist Rhymes. It's earth-shattering. "
After it came out from Xu Qing's body, the sea surface in all directions roared. Circles of waves surged out from the spiritual boat that Xu Qing was on. It was like a small tsunami!
Looking down from the sky, one could clearly see the sea surface where Xu Qing was. As the waves rolled in all directions, it seemed to form a strange picture scroll.
This picture scroll was like a huge eye.
It was like the eye of the Golden Crow!
And Xu Qing's spiritual boat was in the hole of the Golden Crow's eye.
He was sitting cross-legged in the spiritual boat. Although his body was dry and withered, his eyes were extremely bright like stars. At this moment, his messy hair danced in the wind.
He looked like a demon and a demon!
