Huh?

"My cultivation has already reached the True Qi Ninth Layer, so why hasn't my True Qi liquefied yet?"

Chen Wuji inspected his Qi Sea and found that the True Qi inside was still in a gaseous state, without any trace of condensation into liquid.

However, the most significant sign of reaching the True Qi Ninth Layer is the liquefaction of True Qi.

"It hasn't liquefied, but it seems that there has been some kind of transformation in the quality of my True Qi."

"Yes, indeed, there has been a transformation!"

Carefully sensing it, Chen Wuji confirmed the changes in his True Qi, which were developing in a positive direction.

This indicates that compared to Martial Masters of the same realm, Chen Wuji's True Qi is at the same level.

It does not affect his combat power.

On the contrary, Chen Wuji's True Qi has even greater potential!

When this kind of True Qi reaches a certain level, even at the True Qi Ninth Layer, it is not impossible to fight against those in the Ascending Heaven Realm!

As for the reason for this change...

"It should be related to the Dragon Gate Primordial Origin Technique."

Chen Wuji operated the technique and gained insight into its profound mysteries.

The Dragon Gate Primordial Origin Technique is not a complete technique. After the Ninth Layer, it can still be further deduced.

There are infinite possibilities in the future.

The Primordial Origin True Qi condensed through the technique naturally possesses boundless potential!

However, since creating the technique, Chen Wuji has been at a loss for what to do next.

Now it seems that he needs to continue deducing, otherwise his cultivation will be stuck at the True Qi Ninth Layer.

"Perfect, I've obtained the Black Fiend Mantra from Shi Houzhong. Once I grasp it, I can cultivate while AFK."

Thinking of this, Chen Wuji stopped his cultivation, got up, and took out the Black Fiend Mantra to study and comprehend it.

After reading it, he discovered that this technique leans towards toxicity.

The Black Fiend True Qi cultivated from it is highly destructive when it enters the body.

When combined with the Demon Wind Palm, it becomes extremely lethal.

If he were to be hit by it, Chen Wuji felt that he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Fortunately, when he fought Shi Houzhong, Chen Wuji always kept his distance and used sword and knife techniques for offense and defense.

He never engaged in direct fist and palm clashes with Shi Houzhong.

After reading the entire Black Fiend Mantra, Chen Wuji gradually understood its operation, the impact on True Qi, the improvement of cultivation, and the changes in the body.

Half an hour later, he had a sudden realization of the profoundness of the technique.

He successfully grasped the basics!

Immediately, Chen Wuji opened the panel and equipped the Black Fiend Mantra in the seven available slots.

He temporarily stopped using the Bronze Elephant Body technique.

Then, he left the training room.

He gathered his seven disciples and instructed them to drop everything and go to Azure Ox Mountain.

They were only allowed to bring one month's worth of food and water.

The reason was not explained by Chen Wuji, even when Nie Shuangshuang, who was bold and curious, asked.

He simply ordered them to set off immediately and ride horses to Azure Ox Mountain.

After giving the instructions, Chen Wuji went to the military camp and found Pang Qinding to collect the purchased transmission crystals.

He brought energy stones, transmission crystals, a golden mace, and four sets of large and thick rainproof cloaks, then returned to Eagle Horn Mountain.

Entering the alchemy cave, he repaired the four mechanical puppets.

After the repairs were completed, he adjusted the array sequence of the mechanical puppets to the mobile mode.

Finally, he covered the bodies of the mechanical puppets with rainproof cloaks.

Chen Wuji gave the order and, with the four mechanical puppets, walked out of the alchemy cave after three hundred years, leaving Eagle Horn Mountain.

Instead of taking the official road, they went directly through the mountains.

Through patches of forests, over hills.

Encountering rivers, Chen Wuji took action, lifting the mechanical puppets and crossing the river with them several times.

Continuing on the journey.

Avoiding the county town, until reaching Azure Ox Mountain.

At this time, the seven disciples had already arrived.

Chen Wuji called the seven of them over, and in front of them, he tore off the rainproof cloak, revealing the tall mechanical puppets.

As expected, it caused a burst of exclamations.

But for some reason, Chen Wuji still didn't say anything, he only opened the backs of the four mechanical puppets, adjusted the mode, and let the sound control gem record the voices of the seven people.

After finishing, he closed the backs and let the seven people continue building the wooden houses.

The four mechanical puppets were then placed on the open ground and covered with the rainproof cloak.

Chen Wuji descended the mountain and headed straight for Moon Bay, five miles away.

Considering the "next life", he stood guard outside Moon Bay.

Chen Wuji took a step ahead and entered the water.

From the bottom of the White Water River, he dived into the cave beneath Moon Bay.

These interconnected caves, just like last time, had swirling vortexes and rolling water.

"It seems that my previous release of energy has stimulated the energy spring at the very bottom."

True Qi enveloped his whole body, and Chen Wuji followed the fast-moving water, going down all the way.

The underwater caves were connected to each other.

If not controlled, one would be carried by the water flow, swimming and circling in multiple caves.

Chen Wuji wanted to go to the very bottom.

After moving down for a while, True Qi slightly burst out, controlling himself and diving towards the bottom.

Continuously going down, down, and down.

Before long, Chen Wuji entered a unique underwater passage.

The densely packed caves above his head were left behind.

Fifty zhang.

Sixty zhang.

Seventy zhang.

Following the passage, Chen Wuji dived down nearly one hundred and fifty zhang and arrived at a huge underwater space.

This space had no fish or aquatic plants.

In his field of vision, there was only a visible huge water vortex slowly swirling in the center of the space.

The released fluctuations had a wide range, covering the entire underwater space.

The surging energy that could be sensed but not seen constantly impacted Chen Wuji's mind.

In the flowing water around him, there were also strands of sharp aura swiftly moving.

Sword Qi?

The Sword Qi left behind by the Red Cloud Sword King five hundred years ago?

Although very weak, it was indeed Sword Qi.

Chen Wuji, who discovered this, was shocked and speechless.

"What level of Martial Dao expert would have such power?"

Shaking his head, Chen Wuji stabilized his mind and prepared to strike with all his strength.

But at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of several flowers scattered in the corner of the ground on the left side.

Pale purple, familiar soul flowers?

Without being surrounded by water plants, there were just a few flowers blooming.

What good luck!

Chen Wuji was overjoyed.

Looking to the right, there were actually several soul flowers as well.

Immediately, Chen Wuji swam over, took off his clothes, and dug up the soul flowers, wrapping them up.

After counting, there were a total of ten flowers.

What a big profit!

"Hmm! What is it?"

Just as he was rejoicing, Chen Wuji's heart skipped a beat as he sensed a cold gaze coming from afar.

Chen Wuji looked up, but his field of vision was murky and hazy.

He only knew that on the far side of the underwater area close to the mountain wall, there was a life-threatening presence.

An aquatic monster?

Thinking of the enchanting fish monster from last time, Chen Wuji didn't delay any longer.

Retreating back to the entrance of the passage, he gathered True Qi, mobilizing ninety percent of his strength to perform the "Three Yang Power".

This time, the Three Yang Power erupted eight times!

"Boom!"
