Little Blue, who was resting on the thick sycamore tree, was so shocked that it flew down from the tree immediately.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
At that moment, the millions of birds and beasts that inhabited the mountain, whether it was the innate demonic beasts or the ordinary animals, all of them directed their eyes toward the huge tornado besides the deepke. Many rocks, water, and nts were all circling. In the center of the tornado, a human figure who was practicing martial arts could be seen.
He was the source of the tornado.
Teng Qingshan smiled as he immersed himself in the cultivation of the fist arts.
Swoosh!
Boom!
As his body moved and as he struck his fist, the air seemed to shake. For a moment, continuous rumbling sounds were heard. Whether it was the Earth Element, Fire Element, Water Element, Metal Element, or Wood Element, all were mastered by Teng Qingshan. He was able to perform any type of move easily. As Teng Qingshan continued performing, the Five Elemental Fists merged and became one.
Teng Qingshan had always been aware of the destructive and reinforcing rtionships between the five elements.
However, it took him twenty years of training in his previous life and forty years of arduous training in this life toprehend the Dao of Heaven, create the Five Element Fists, and master the art of merging the five elements as one.
"Haha..."
This heartyughter sounded like theughter of God and resounded in the entire mountainous area. "Five elements: metal, water, wood, fire, and earth. Why put them in different categories when they have always been one? None of the five elements can survive on its own. Each element is needed for the existence of another element." Teng Qingshanughed out loud and turned, withdrawing his fist.
He inhaled deeply and the unlimited Power of the Heavens and Earth rushed in from the surroundings. When Teng Qingshan inhaled, it was as though he was swallowing the endless Power of the Heavens and Earth into his stomach.
Then he exhaled slowly.
Resolved!
Suddenly, Teng Qingshan opened his eyes.
"This is the Insightful Emptiness Realm. An insightful, empty world," mumbled Teng Qingshan.
"Boom!"
The water, rocks, and nts that were swirling in the air all fell to the ground suddenly, but whatever fell near Teng Qingshan’s body slid away.
"Chirp! Chirp!" There was a glimpse of joy in the eyes of the Undying Phoenix, which was bathing in mes. It tweeted loudly towards Teng Qingshan.
"Little Blue."
Teng Qingshan’s eyes glowed.
"Insightful Emptiness Realm! I’ve finally reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm." Teng Qingshan could clearly feel that he was different from before. This was a total transformation! He could also feel the pressure and hatred from the Land of Nine Prefectures. This made him understand that—
If the Emptiness Realm Experts were the children of the Land of Nine Prefectures.
Then the Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts had left the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Indeed, the Land of the Nine Prefectures had no authority over the Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert.
"I have just reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm, so I will need to consolidate my current state of cultivation.
"Chirp!" Teng Qingshan emitted a bird chirp towards the Undying Phoenix, Little Blue, and proceeded to sit cross-legged.
He closed his eyes and distinctly detected and sensed his Niwan Pce.
One’s Spirit was located in the Niwan Pce. In the beginning, the Niwan Pce remained blurry and difficult to detect. However, when Spirit came into existence, the Niwan Pce transformed from nothing to being tangible. Glowing rays of five colors formed in this seemingly real world. Every ray of light glowed in the entire Niwan Pce, and the Niwan Pce became endless and vast.
"The power of these five-colored rays of light is the Power of my World." Teng Qingshan naturally understood.
"Now, what I need to do is refine arge amount of the Power of the Heavens and Earth and transform the Power of the Heavens and Earth into the Power of my World." Teng Qingshan could not bother with anything else. Immediately, he began absorbing the Power of the Heaven and Earth at the fastest pace. For a moment, the Undying Phoenix could sense a huge amount of the Power of the Heavens and Earth rushing crazily towards Teng Qingshan.
The transfiguration changed the Power of the Heavens and Earth into these visible, tangible, shining colors.
Simultaneously, the tiny ck cauldron on Teng Qingshan’s chest glowed with a dim light. Suddenly, the Power of the Heavens and Earth rushed towards Teng Qingshan ten times faster than previously. For a moment, the air around the entire mountain shook and a storm gathered. All the bird-type demonic beasts were so terrified that they began to fly all over the ce.
...
"It’s so much faster."
Teng Qingshan, who ced all his focus on the Niwan Pce, had surprisingly found out that the five-colored rays of light were multiplying at a shocking speed. As time went on, Teng Qingshan could sense that the entire Niwan Pce had be like a paradise, surrounded by lights.
"Hmm?
"As the Power of the World increases, the pressure on my body also increases" Teng Qingshan felt this clearly.
Immediately, Teng Qingshan controlled every ray of the Power of the World, bringing all the power out of the Niwan Pce and moving the power through every part of his body.
Teng Qingshan could perceive changes going on in his muscles, bones, skin, cell membrane, cartge, organs, and even the deepestyer of his skin. He felt that his own body was like a mountain that had been dried up for too long and suddenly received the blessing of the rain; the mountain continued absorbing water and was filled with life again. It only took a while for the Power of the World to merge with Teng Qingshan’s body.
It was a very short time, and Teng Qingshan’s physical strength did not increase much.
However, Teng Qingshan felt that the cells in his body were all filled with life.
"This is a transformation.
"In the past, my body was strong, but the source of the power was external. My body was absorbing the Power of the Heavens and Earth. However, the source of my power is now internal. I generate the Power of the World and absorb it. This internal source of power has a better effect for my body." Teng Qingshan continued absorbing the external source of power into the Niwan Pce and transforming the external source of power into his own Power of the World.
"It’s no wonder the Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert must strengthen their bodies.
"Absorbing too much Power of the World is very stressful to the body. If the body is not strong enough, the Niwan Pce cannot store enough Power of the World." Teng Qingshan was aware that those who just reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm must go through seclusion to strengthen the body. This would need a lot of time.
Absorb! Refine!
Absorb! Refine!
Teng Qingshan did not reject anything that came his way, his Niwan Pce was like a bottomless pit, taking in the external Power of the Heavens and Earth continuously.
...
Rumble!
In the mountain resided by the Undying Phoenix, a whirlwind of five colors came into existence and arge amount of Power of the Heavens and Earth surged continuously. This absorption speed was even faster than the absorption speed of the Six Legged delike Chi and the Undying Phoenix when they had just attained the Emptiness Realm.
The sun began to rise until it was in the middle of the sky.
Teng Qingshan continued absorbing the Power of the Heavens and Earth at this constant, maximum speed.
It was soon afternoon.
"Hmm?" Teng Qingshan’s body shook slightly.
At this moment, the vast and endless space in Teng Qingshan’s Niwan Pce was filled with five-colored rays of light, and the light in the Niwan Pce was very intense. Suddenly, the whole space began to shake continuously.
"I have already absorbed to the maximum.
"My own Emptiness world is transforming," Teng Qingshan was aware of what was going on and so, he did not disturb this process.
As the Niwan Pce shook, it gradually became smaller.
The size of the Niwan Pce was reducing slowly!
The Niwan Pce, which was shapeless and could only be sensed with the mind, began to have colors. And now, the entire Niwan Pce had turned into an oval object with five colors. The Niwan Pce now looked like an egg.
"It is done.
"This should be considered a small sess in the cultivation of the Insightful Emptiness Realm."
The Niwan Pce no longer had any five-colored light inside. Because the Niwan Pce had been shrinking in size, the five-colored light had actually transformed into this five-colored, glowing, starchy liquid that flowed slowly like liquid mercury. Simultaneously, as the five-colored glowing liquid flowed, aurora-colored rays of light enveloped the surface of the glowing liquid!
"A small sess in the cultivation of the Insightful Emptiness Realm?"
Teng Qingshan could clearly sense that the current five-colored rays of light were even more intense than the previous light and even more powerful!
"When Huang Tianqin of Emperor Yu’s Hall first entered the Insightful Emptiness Realm, the Power of his World should’ve been at the level of my previous five-colored light. If one wants to strengthen the foundation and attain the small achievement, one must first strengthen one’s body to the level of perfection," Teng Qingshan thought to himself. At this moment, he was filled with joy and was very confident.
He knew that if he were to meet an expert who had attained Emptiness Realm Culmination, he would definitely be able to kill that expert very easily!
...
From entering the Insightful Emptiness Realm to attaining a small sess in the Insightful Emptiness Realm, Teng Qingshan was definitely the fastest to do so since the creation of the entire Land of the Nine Prefectures!
Because his body had reached the level of perfection long ago, he didn’t have to waste any more time enhancing his physical strength.
In addition, the Nine Prefectures Cauldron had helped to speed up the process of absorbing the Power of the Heavens and Earth, and so, he was able to absorb enough Power of the Heavens and Earth within half a day.
******
Swoosh!
Teng Qingshan stood up.
"Hmm? This, this..." Teng Qingshan, who wascent, felt shocked when he saw the red sun rising in the eastern sky. "What? Morning?" The scenery in front of his eyes obviously represented the morning of a day.
"I thought I didn’t take a very long time absorbing the Power of the World and refining that source of power into my own source.
"What... I sat for a day and a night?" Teng Qingshan was very shocked.
The process of absorbing the Power of the Heavens and Earth was short. It was the transformation of the void, empty Niwan Pce into the tangible five-colored world that took a long time. Teng Qingshan felt that this transformation had happened very quickly, but eight hours had actually passed in the outer world during this process of transformation!
"Whatever. I can’t be bothered.
"It’s time to go back now." Teng Qingshan felt refreshed. After the transformation of his Niwan Pce, he felt that the great physical pressure he felt had disappeared.
"Little Blue," shouted Teng Qingshan to the Undying Phoenix.
"Chirp!"
The Undying Phoenix dashed towards him.
Swoosh! Teng Qingshan hopped onto the Undying Phoenix’s back with the Reincarnation Spear in his hand and disappeared in the northern end in front of thousands of birds.
******
In the region of Yuzhou, within a deste mountain, a man wearing a golden mask and a sackcloth sat cross-legged.
"It is fortunate that I was careful. If ck Crow and I had gone to attack the Xing Yi Sect together, I am afraid I would’ve lost my life there," mumbled the golden-masked man, "Even the ck Crow was injured. Teng Qingshan is improving too quickly. The news from Shooting Sun God Mountain wasn’t fake. Teng Qingshan has achieved Emptiness Realm Culmination.
"With my current state of cultivation, I cannot kill him."
This problem has always troubled the Golden-masked man.
"There is no other way. Teng Qingshan is too strong. I can’t do it myself, I need other people to do this for me. The people of the Barbarian Tribe Temple are all too stupid. They refused to leave the tribe. I must find other people." The golden-masked man thought, "As Teng Qingshan has reached Emptiness Realm Culmination, I will need a strong demonic beast that has achieved Emptiness Realm Culmination or an Insightful Emptiness Realm expert to win against him."
The golden-masked man moved and vanished from the deste mountain.
