Chapter 243 The Four Symbols Flow and Reclaim the Old Land
Chapter 243 The Four Symbols Circulate, Reclaiming the Old Lands
Li Xijun's eyes quickly scanned the dazzling list.
The 'Netherworld Pomegranate Seeds' were full of vitality, but for him, who had already cultivated the 'Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique,' the effects were overlapping.
The Thunder Pattern Sacred Heart Fruit is domineering and powerful. Although he cultivates thunder magic, it is not his main focus, and he already has a thunder totem stone tablet.
The 'Fragment of the Heart of Atlantis' is of pure water element, which is compatible with his Xuanwu technique, but its improvement is limited.
The 'Flame Demon Lord Core Fragment' possesses a violent fire element, which greatly benefits his Vermilion Bird Technique, which has reached the pinnacle of his cultivation. However, its violent, annihilating nature slightly conflicts with his pursuit of the balance of the four elements, and he feels that this item will not significantly enhance his Vermilion Bird Technique.
His gaze finally settled on a name that was relatively concise in description, yet exuded an extremely sharp edge:
'Geng Metal White Tiger Killing Core' (Ancient Battlefield Relics of Siberia): Naturally formed from the essence of Geng metal and the killing aura of a thousand years of warfare, found in a place where countless soldiers were buried. It contains the purest and most extreme killing and sharp energy, which can directly temper metal-type spiritual power, greatly amplifying the power and artistic conception of all sharp, armor-piercing, and killing techniques, and has a miraculous effect on comprehending the true meaning of killing.
Warning: This is extremely malevolent energy. Those with weak wills are easily corrupted by it and fall into the path of killing.
That's it!
Li Xijun's eyes lit up, and she didn't hesitate at all.
This item is a perfect match for the "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual" that he had just acquired.
Not only will it accelerate his advancement in this killing technique to a higher level, but it will also allow him to refine his own spiritual power with its extremely sharp Geng metal evil energy, laying a more solid foundation for the future integration of the four elements.
As for the erosion of evil energy, he had no need to worry about it at all, given his mastery of the "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual" and his cultivation of the Three Venerables Visualization Technique.
"I choose 'Geng Metal White Tiger Killing Core'," Li Xijun said calmly.
His choice surprised everyone.
After all, on the surface, the 'Flame Demon Lord Core Fragment' seems to offer him a greater boost.
Su Nianying glanced at him, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately nodded and made a few gestures on the tablet: "Okay."
Soon, a sealed, specially made metal box was delivered by the staff.
As soon as the box was opened, a sharp, malevolent aura that seemed capable of slicing through the soul spread out, causing the temperature in the entire conference room to drop several degrees. Those with weaker cultivation, such as Cai Meier and Luo Xu, instinctively shivered and felt a faint stinging sensation on their skin.
Inside the box, there lay a roughly egg-sized, irregularly shaped, multifaceted crystal.
Its entire body has a cold, white-gold color, and its surface seems to have constantly emerging and disappearing sharpness. If you look closely, you can even faintly hear the echoes of countless metal clanging and battlefield battles.
Li Xijun reached out and grasped the "Gengjin White Tiger Killing Core" in his hand without hesitation.
"Buzz!"
The Fiend Core felt icy cold to the bone upon contact with his hand. Its extremely sharp and fiendish aura instantly tried to penetrate his palm, but it was easily neutralized by the spiritual power flowing within his body from the "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual".
Furthermore, he could clearly feel that the immense energy contained within resonated strongly with his "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual," and the platinum tiger-shaped rune in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly with excitement.
"Alright, the resources have been distributed. Everyone, return to your rooms to cultivate and make the most of these last three days."
Professor Xu said in a deep voice, "I hope to see a completely new look from you in three days."
Everyone stood up, carrying the treasures they had chosen, and returned to their respective rooms with excitement and anticipation. Everyone was eager to make use of these last resources to achieve a leap in strength.
Li Xijun returned to his suite, set up a simple security perimeter, and then sat cross-legged in the center of the quiet room, holding the Killing Core.
Ordinary martial artists at the Intent Realm, even those at the Outer Realm level, would never dare to directly absorb such a crystallization that gathers the killing energy of a thousand years of battlefield warfare.
It usually requires a slow and meticulous process to guide and gradually dissipate the violent malevolent energy within. The entire process is time-consuming and extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, the malevolent energy will erode one's mind, turning one into a monster who only knows how to kill.
But Li Xijun remained calm, her eyes revealing only absolute confidence and anticipation.
The mental cultivation method of "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual" flowed slowly through his mind like a galaxy, and the supreme true meaning of killing, conquest, destruction, and sharpness gradually rose and dominated his mind.
He did not absorb it immediately, but first visualized it, and the three deities of the Holy Teacher, Xuanzang and the Eternal Mother appeared in turn.
In the end, it was still the Eternal Mother, whose eyes revealed a compassionate and serene countenance, who raised the Golden Emperor's Sword in her hand, causing the stars of the Seven Western Mansions to suddenly shine brightly.
The seven great stars Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Zi, and Shen burst forth with brilliant platinum light, their star power intertwining to outline the enormous, majestic, and sacred phantom of a platinum tiger.
It roared silently to the sky, its body exuding a supreme Daoist aura that dominated slaughter and cleansed demonic energy. Its status was far higher than any murderous intent in the mortal world.
At the same time, the cultivation technique of the "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual" began to circulate within Li Xijun's body, and the white tiger spiritual power rising in his meridians resonated with the Western White Tiger constellation in his sea of consciousness.
"Come on," he whispered, holding the demon core in his hands before his dantian. The pure spiritual energy, like the most skillful hands, gently touched the core of the demon core.
"boom--!!!"
It was as if a volcano of murderous intent, which had been accumulating for thousands of years, had finally erupted.
The icy, violent, and destructive Geng metal aura surged into Li Xijun's meridians like a raging beast bursting its banks!
This power not only carries the sharpness to tear through meridians and sever the soul, but also contains the tragic killing intent, frenzied fighting spirit, and desperate resentment left over from countless ancient battlefields. Like billions of cold killing swords, it pierces straight into the core of a person's spirit, almost completely destroying the soul of the person it wants to absorb!
This level of mental impact is enough to cause a weak-willed martial artist to instantly lose their composure and fall into illusion and madness.
However, the instant this overwhelming torrent of malevolent energy surged into Li Xijun's sea of consciousness—
"town!"
The visualization of the three deities, each adorned with a golden body embodying the power of all beings' wishes, exerted its power simultaneously, instantly suppressing the murderous intent.
"Awooo—!!"
at the same time,
Within his sea of consciousness, the supreme killing intent emanating from the White Tiger of the West was like a celestial being looking down upon the struggles of ants in the mortal world.
The originally violent and ferocious battlefield aura, which was enough to erode the mind of the outside world, suddenly appeared insignificant, filthy, and even... laughable in front of the White Tiger God, who represented the killing power of the origin of the universe and stars.
Just like rebellious soldiers encountering an emperor who commands an army, all their fierce arrogance crumbles instantly under the absolute authority and power of the emperor!
The rampant malevolent spiritual energy was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly crushed by the white tiger phantom, leaving only the purest and most primal Geng metal killing spiritual power.
at the same time,
Li Xijun's body was filled with the profound and powerful Xuanwu True Intent, which automatically protected its master like a boundless ocean and the Buzhou Divine Mountain, steadily guarding his main meridians; while the Azure Dragon Yi Wood Longevity Technique was full of vitality, like a spring breeze and rain, quickly repairing the minor damage caused by the flood.
The cultivation method of the "White Tiger Seven Kill God Slaughter Manual" transforms into a furnace, constantly refining these primordial Geng metal energies that have been completely subdued and docile, turning them into incomparably pure White Tiger spiritual power!
Within his dantian, the spiritual energy map, which had originally been divided into three equally matched colors, now...
A platinum-gold, incomparably sharp spiritual power grew wildly at an unprecedented speed, quickly reaching a balance with the other three types of spiritual power, and faintly forming the prototype of the Four Symbols Circulation.
[Your mastery level in the "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual" has increased from 100% Grandmaster to 1% Celestial Being.]
[Your cultivation level in the "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual" has increased from 10% to 20% of the Celestial Realm.]
[Your cultivation level in the "White Tiger Seven Killing God Manual" has increased from 80% to 89% of the Celestial Realm.]
Time flew by as Li Xijun immersed himself in his cultivation.
The sharp aura emanating from him grew stronger and stronger, and he seemed to have transformed into a divine weapon embryo being forged and tempered, about to reveal its earth-shattering brilliance.
The three-day period arrived in the blink of an eye.
When the last trace of Geng metal evil energy was completely refined and absorbed, Li Xijun suddenly opened his eyes.
"Clang!"
A sharp, almost tangible, white-gold light flashed in his eyes, and a clanging sound, like the ringing of a sword, seemed to echo in the void.
The terrifying aura that stung the skin around him flowed inward like rivers flowing into the sea, quickly receding into his body. Yet, he gave off a feeling of being reborn, as if he could unleash endless slaughter in an instant.
He carefully sensed the White Tiger spiritual power within his body, which had grown to rival the other three types of spiritual power, and was extremely refined and sharp, carrying a trace of supreme killing intent. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
The "White Tiger Seven Kill God Slaughter Manual" has made a breakthrough and stabilized at the Great Perfection of Heaven and Man.
Furthermore, the killing intent it contains far exceeds the description of the technique itself, and with the blessing of the Western White Tiger constellation, its status is extremely high.
Its spiritual power intensity has reached the mid-stage level of the Intent Realm, or even surpassed it.
The Four Symbols Technique has finally achieved an unprecedented perfect balance in terms of spiritual power level and quality!
Just then, a crisp notification sound came from inside the room, signaling the start of the competition.
The Global National Team Competition has officially begun!
Li Xijun suddenly stood up, and a series of deep and powerful sounds emanated from his bones and muscles.
He picked up the lightning totem stone tablet beside him and put it away, his gaze passing through the window to the arena deep in the city of New York, where the world's attention would soon be focused.
The storm is brewing, and the stage is set.
"The day has finally come."
"This is a rare global national team competition broadcast live worldwide. On this battlefield of global geniuses, any victory will attract countless eyes and attention."
"And as long as I can win the world's number one championship, the collective will of countless martial artists around the world will be enough for the three gods and Buddhas I cultivate to have enough will to unite as one, merge the three religions, and transform into the supreme mind form."
Thinking of this, Li Xijun couldn't help but recall the image of the sleeping dragon girl in the Great Sheng World.
"I couldn't influence the general trend of the world before, but now, as long as I become the Manifestation Saint True Lord, I can help you and Dasheng to restore the old lands and deal with the Seven Gods of the West."
