Chapter 159 Cultivation in the Mountains

  Because of his own ignorance, he suffered a small loss, but the ambition in Qin Gu's heart was not reduced at all. It is necessary to know that with his current qualifications, as long as he continues to work hard, breaking through will happen sooner or later.

  But spiritual realm boundary breakthrough is even more difficult!

  If there is no great opportunity, then one can only wait for a breakthrough in strength to reach a higher level, and then gradually increase with it.

  Don't you see that even Yu Le Wu Ya, the master of the Extreme Bliss Gate who has reached the peak of merging with heaven, can only release his divine sense within a range of about three to four li?

  Inside the Pure Land Palace, the strongest one is probably that Wen Changlao. His strength has already reached the realm of fusion with heaven! Although he just broke through to this realm, his aura can already suppress a great mountain! However, his divine consciousness is also only about 7 or 8 miles in circumference.

  And their gods are only able to sense some anomalies and judge what caused these anomalies through their own experiences.

  But he couldn't be like Qin Li, as long as he was willing, within a radius of ten miles, even a worm underground ten miles away could appear in his mind!

  They seem similar at first glance, but in reality, they are worlds apart!

  At least, if Qin Li now buries himself in the ground one or two meters deep and holds his breath, neither Le Wu Jia nor Wen Chang Lao can find his trail!

  But if it were Qin Li, under his vast divine consciousness, everything would be left with nowhere to hide!

  This is what true freedom really means!

  Believe it or not, unless a top-notch expert at the Supreme Realm level, even a martial artist who has merged with the heavens would not dare to use their aura to suppress Qin Li!

  Thinking of the ring, on top of that spiritual grass, there seemed to be six or seven red vermilion fruits. Should he eat one now? Qin Li hesitated for a long time and finally resisted the temptation. It wasn't that his heart was strong, but rather that the pain had penetrated deep into his bones, making his soul tremble. For the time being, Qin Li didn't want to try again. No matter what, he had to wait until this psychological shadow completely dissipated before considering another attempt.

  Qin Li's eyes stared at the stone trough, and he had just eaten that extraordinary lotus flower in a state of urgency. The changes in his dantian and his spiritual consciousness became incredibly powerful, making Qin Li not regret eating it.

  This lotus flower is of the highest quality, even its leaves are exceptional. Not to mention the stone basin inside, where many lotus seeds that still look like white jade are scattered about, those things must also be good stuff!

  Qin Li thought to himself, if he was going to take away this spiritual grass, then he definitely couldn't let go of this lotus flower either!

  However, his storage ring was only about ten cubic meters in size and couldn't fit the stone basin at all. Qin Li was anxious and scratched his ears, wanting him to give up at this point was absolutely impossible. He would rather pull out the water lily from the spiritual energy condensed water and throw it into the ring than let it grow here, which wasn't even his own territory! Why should he leave it for someone else?

  Suddenly, Qin Li thought that the storage ring's capacity seemed to increase with the growth of spiritual power. But why was it still so big?

  Thinking to himself, Qin Li infused a thread of spiritual energy into the ring, and indeed, it was still ten cubic meters. Those bookshelves had long been moved out by Qin Li and placed in the underground chamber of the Marquis' mansion in Qinglong City. The key was only held by Leng Yao alone.

  Qin Li was not worried that someone would covet those books, with his strength, in the secular world, no one could dominate him! Even if they were snatched away by someone, he had enough confidence to break into the other party's home and snatch them back.

  Moreover, those most precious books had already been memorized by Leng Yao and then returned to Qin Li's ring.

  All were placed in the wooden box obtained by Qin Li from Wu Jun Wang, together with those Ling stones.

  "How can I make this space bigger?" Qin Li muttered to himself, thinking for a moment, and then slowly poured all his spiritual energy into this space.

  "Great!"

  No response!

  "Arrow!"

  Still no response!

  Qin Li cursed in his heart, thinking that the ancient powerful beings of this world were indeed not as formidable as the gods in the Huaxia Mythology, and could only use the most foolish method, using spiritual power to start expanding the space within the ring.

  As expected, the space inside the ring began to expand strangely and quickly increased its area under Qin Li's vast spiritual power! Fifteen cubic meters, twenty cubic meters, thirty cubic meters... all the way to fifty cubic meters. At this point, the space finally stopped growing!

  However, this has already completely exceeded Qin Li's expectations. Withdrawing his spiritual power from the ring, his mind was once again a vast emptiness. Qin Li had no choice but to sit cross-legged and meditate for several hours. This time, he lost even more energy than before. After several hours, he barely recovered a small portion of his spiritual power.

  So Qin Li looked somewhat dispirited and listless.

  However, he also had to admit that the powerful beings of the ancient era on the Tianyuan continent were indeed very formidable. The stunningly beautiful figure of Wuguo Wang was truly a legendary character from that world, and it was hard to say who was more extraordinary.

  In this cave, Qin Li cultivated for another half a month.

  For this half month, he was mainly comprehending the second layer of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Unique Supreme Battle Skill, the application of spiritual power!

  The first layer of the Unparalleled Fighting Technique emphasizes the subtlety of moves and the coordination of strength. This level of the Unparalleled Fighting Technique is still at a mundane level, meaning that being able to master the first layer of the Unparalleled Fighting Technique and becoming an unparalleled expert in the secular world is not a problem!

  Even if you only have county-level strength, fighting a top-notch expert head-on won't necessarily put you at a disadvantage!

  This is the overbearing and powerful way of being unrivaled!

  What is called god-level martial arts? This is it!

  The gap between high-level combat skills and intermediate combat skills is only among the same level, for example, a first-class warrior who cultivates high-level combat skills may be able to defeat a fifth-class warrior of the same level through his own combat skills advantages, but if it's an eighth-class warrior, there will be almost no suspense.

  Of course, there are no exceptions; otherwise, the strength of this world would be ranked in order. There will always be various factors affecting a warrior's move. However, it is too difficult for different levels to win with weakness!

  But the power of divine martial arts is enough to support warriors in challenging higher-level opponents! And often with astonishing performances.

  The first layer of the Unrivaled Battle Technique, Qin Li had already mastered. The second layer of the Unrivaled Battle Technique, which Xiū was cultivating, was about various ways to utilize spiritual power!

  This is another powerful ability in the Divine Fighting Technique that defies the heavens!

  For a martial artist, an Xuan-level martial artist will have an Xuan-level aura; a Di-level martial artist will have a Di-level aura; and a Tian-level martial artist will also have a Tian-level aura!

  The aura is actually a manifestation of spiritual power. The so-called "qi" that resides in the body, and the "body" that nurtures it, when a person has been in a position for a long time, will naturally give rise to an aura. This aura is intangible, just like why an emperor's glare can make his ministers feel terrified, because this aura represents enormous power!

  So, aura is intangible, spiritual power that can't be seen or touched. However, once a certain realm is reached, this spiritual power can be used to attack the opponent! The thing is, this realm must at least reach the Heavenly level, and even then, Heavenly-level warriors are only just beginning to learn how to use spiritual power.

  As for coercion, it is a concrete manifestation of one's true strength, using the vast yuan force inside the body to oppress others!

  Why is it said that crossing ranks to challenge is very difficult? Because a martial artist who has reached the Breaking Heaven Realm, his oppressive might can almost make a Heavenly-ranked martial artist gasp for breath!

  How can we fight? The battle against overwhelming pressure is the most difficult!

  Aura and intimidation are actually two different things. However, because high-level martial artists often release both simultaneously when intimidating their opponents, many people have come to conflate the two over time.

  This is simply because their horizon is not broad enough and they are not aware of this point.

  Even a top-level warrior may not necessarily be able to withstand the aura and pressure on himself. What's the difference, anyway, it's just that when one releases their heavenly aura, the internal yuan force surges forth, exerting a suppressive force that makes the opponent almost dare not move at all.

  After all, in the secular world, there are not many people who dare to challenge the dignity of a top-notch warrior.

  Only those who have truly broken through to the heavenly level and reached the realm of breaking through heaven will realize that spiritual power is also something that can be utilized, but how to make it beneficial for the elixir, not many people can understand.

  Unless someone can grasp some secret books that have been passed down from ancient times, they will truly understand that spiritual power can also be used as an attack method, and the harm it brings is even more astonishing than the damage caused by yuan force!

  So whoever masters this skill is always first to fortify their spiritual defenses, because they are extremely afraid that others will attack them through this method.

  The second realm of the Jiutian Shidi's unique martial art is to comprehend the various methods of spiritual attacks!

  Not only can it attack, but also search for the opponent's memories, hypnotize the enemy, and extract secrets from the enemy's mouth! Of course, the harm to the person being manipulated is also quite huge, if not handled properly, it will become a neurological disease; If the person has a strong will, there is also a possibility of backlash against the manipulator.

  Unless it's an extraordinary strong person with a vast and profound spiritual power, ordinary people wouldn't dare to use it even if they understand it.

  Qin Li originally had a vague understanding of the boundaries of the second layer, but after this strange encounter, his spiritual power surged greatly, and the various unclear places he had previously encountered finally gave him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
