Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi! Born from the Book Collection Lake!

According to the ”Profound Micro Primordial Qi Technique”, Chu Ming felt that the so-called Primordial Consciousness was very similar to his ”Sword Gourd Spirit”.

The ”Sword Gourd Spirit” seemed to be a profound application of Primordial Consciousness.

The Primordial Consciousness that guides Primordial Qi is very weak, able to perform inner vision but unable to explore others, something the ”Sword Gourd Spirit” can achieve.

The exploration distance of Primordial Consciousness is only a few meters around the body, but after mutation, the ”Sword Gourd Spirit” can cover several miles.

Some people born with strong Spiritual Power can easily sense Primordial Qi, seeing things others cannot, which is the reason for it.

But without cultivating the Primordial Qi Technique, Spiritual Power is just Spiritual Power and does not differ much from ordinary people; it doesn’t qualify as a Primordial Qi Warrior.

Because Primordial Qi is a very mysterious existence between heaven and earth, even if guided inside the body, it cannot be stored long-term; it fades over time, not to mention utilization.

The core of the Primordial Qi Cultivation Method lies in how to store Primordial Qi within the body and use it.

These are the cultivation techniques described in the ”Profound Micro Primordial Qi Technique”.

Chu Ming’s experience over two lifetimes led him to some conjectures about Primordial Qi, but he cannot verify their accuracy.

”Primordial Consciousness... Spirit... Primordial Qi... the white mist in the Sea of Consciousness...”

”Is it the same thing?”

Chu Ming sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, performing inner vision.

”The mutation of the ’Sword Gourd Spirit’, my Spiritual Power has transformed into ’Spirit’, the Book collection Lake is emitting white mist, continuously expanding the Sea of Consciousness...”

He has a feeling that his defined ’Spirit’ is actually ’Primordial Consciousness’.

”Primordial Qi inherently exists between heaven and earth...”

”Hold your breath, focus your mind, withdraw your awareness, actively control the external release of Spiritual Power...”

He can exert Mental Suppression but cannot make Spiritual Power communicate with the external world.

The ”Profound Micro Primordial Qi Technique” contains a method for external release of Spiritual Power, which he plans to try.

”Primordial Qi... elusive... mysterious...”

”Huh?”

Suddenly, his eyes flashed.

In front of him, on the panel.

[Progress: 1/100]

”Is this... Primordial Qi?”

Chu Ming looked at the text in front of him and then at the surroundings, his heart rate slightly accelerating.

”Primordial Qi Introduction... should be the initial realm of the Primordial Qi Warrior...”

As the panel changed, threads of colorful mist appeared suddenly in the room, drifting like fish floating in water, their presence remarkably natural, as if they had always been there.

Not as if, Primordial Qi inherently exists!

These colored threads of mist are Primordial Qi, and Chu Ming sensed them and his powerful Spiritual Power is guiding the mist threads into his body.

The originally drifting mist threads are being attracted by the Primordial Consciousness, gathering around his body.

Subsequently, one of the mist threads suddenly found an entry point, swimming quickly to Chu Ming’s abdomen and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Simultaneously, Chu Ming sensed a coolness in his abdomen, as if something entered or something appeared there.

He quickly performed inner vision.

In the area of the abdomen, an unfamiliar gray object appeared, with the colored mist threads obediently gathered within it.

According to the Primordial Qi Technique, storing and guiding Primordial Qi can take several months, years, or even decades without guaranteed success.

Chu Ming never expected to succeed in one attempt.

”Let’s try guiding another thread of Primordial Qi...”

He divided his Primordial Consciousness again to attract Primordial Qi from heaven and earth.

The second thread was successfully attracted to the abdomen.

This time, he observed carefully.

Instead of suddenly disappearing, the Primordial Qi was captured by the gray object in his abdomen.

”Let’s try again...”

He attempted to guide the third, fourth, fifth threads...

With each additional thread, the speed of guiding and absorbing slowed significantly.

Struggling, he managed to guide the seventh thread into his abdomen but could no longer attract Primordial Qi from heaven and earth.

”The Primordial Qi Technique is incomplete... the method for guiding and absorbing is not perfected...”

Chu Ming understood the issue; the ”Profound Micro Primordial Qi Technique” he practiced was fragmented.

Despite succeeding in guiding and absorbing once, it was due to several special abilities from ”Reading” combined with the three lakes in the Sea of Consciousness.

On the panel.

[Progress: 55/100]

At the location of the abdomen, the original gray object has been half replaced by Primordial Qi, with the other half still gray.

He withdrew from inner vision, looked at the broken cultivation technique on the table, his face showing no joy, instead his brows slightly furrowed.

He should now be considered a Primordial Qi Warrior, but...

”How can I utilize the Primordial Qi within my body?”

Initially, when condensing Qi and Blood Power, he immediately felt an enhancement in physical strength, but this Primordial Qi, within his body, seemed as if it wasn’t there.

The fragmented ”Profound Micro Primordial Qi Technique” given by Xiang Yue, though successful in absorbing Primordial Qi, had no application method.

Chu Ming tried using Primordial Consciousness to envelop the Primordial Qi.

The Primordial Qi moved, but merely moved, remaining useless.

”Try wrapping it with Qi and Blood Power...”

He then manipulated Qi and Blood Power to envelop the Primordial Qi.

”Is there a reaction?”

As soon as Qi and Blood Power touched the Primordial Qi, it seemed to grow tentacles, linking with the strand of Qi and Blood Power.

Upon successful linkage, the Primordial Qi appeared to be rapidly shrinking, as if consumed by Qi and Blood Power.

At the same time, Chu Ming clearly sensed that the strand of Qi and Blood Power had become thicker.

”Can Primordial Qi enhance Qi and Blood Power?”

”Or maybe not enhance...”

He felt that the strand of Qi and Blood Power was different.

Chu Ming’s eyes flickered, the Primordial Consciousness guiding the strand of special Qi and Blood Power to move through the blood vessels until it converged at his right hand.

Bam!

His right hand formed a palm, Qi and Blood Fusion, air bursting.

”The power is stronger...”

”No!”

Chu Ming’s expression suddenly changed.

Just as he struck that palm, there was a change in the Sea of Consciousness.

Next to the original Cultivation Technique Lake, a new miniature lake was forming, apparently the Primordial Qi Lake.

In just an instant, the Primordial Qi Lake took shape, but it couldn’t compare with the three large lakes already present, very small in size.

According to the existence and expansion of the other three lakes, the Primordial Qi Lake represents his accumulation of the Primordial Qi Technique.

But this wasn’t the most crucial part.

What astonished Chu Ming the most was that the white mist used to expand the Sea of Consciousness began converging towards the Primordial Qi Lake, condensing into a white cloud layer above it.

He thought the white cloud would rain to expand the Primordial Qi Lake, but it remained condensed, showing no intention to rain.

Simultaneously, the gathering of white mist above the Primordial Qi Lake caused the expansion of the Sea of Consciousness to stagnate.

As more white mist accumulated, Chu Ming noticed that at the center of the cloud layer, there seemed to be a cluster of gas.

”This gas...”

The gas at the center of the cloud layer felt similar to Primordial Qi yet somewhat different.

Chu Ming’s heart thought moved slightly, attaching Primordial Consciousness to it, attempting to guide the cluster of gas.

As soon as the gas separated from the cloud layer, he immediately sensed the aura belonging to Primordial Qi.

”The white mist diffused from the Book collection Lake can actually condense into Primordial Qi?!”

Chu Ming performed inner vision of the abdomen area again, fixedly looking at the cluster of Primordial Qi, an idea suddenly coming to mind.

He couldn’t guide and absorb external Primordial Qi into his abdomen, but what about this Primordial Qi from the Sea of Consciousness?

Without hesitation, his Primordial Consciousness guided the cluster of Primordial Qi, separating a portion, then controlled this portion of Primordial Qi to leave the Sea of Consciousness and merge into Qi and Blood Power.
