C867 Ingestion of Ten-thousand-year Cinnabar Fruit
"You … You actually know about it? " Hong Ling was completely shocked. Sikong Banyu even knew her secret? They only knew that they had accepted the Hanba's inheritance, but they didn't know that accepting the Hanba inheritance was at the cost of death. Or rather, it could be said that the inheritance was no longer a real thing, but had instead turned into another kind of creature — a zombie.
In order to prevent Bai Ling from worrying, and in the hope that the Jiuli Race would not be annihilated due to the Tiger Soul Knife's baleful aura, Hong Ling made such a sacrifice. From then on, she became an undying creature. Although it seemed as if she had achieved the same cultivation level as she did, only she herself knew the suffering. Since ancient times, when zombies transcended the Three Realms and were not included in the Five Elements, it was not a secret. However, with so many cultivators choosing to cultivate and obtaining the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life, very few people would choose to turn themselves into a zombie.
However, she didn't think that her secret would be seen through by a stranger.
"Not only do I know that you are a corpse, I also know how to resurrect this corpse. In truth, there was no absolute limit to the 3000 great Daos. The Dao of Corpses was also one of the 3000 great Daos. Since the Dao of Corpses existed, it naturally could not be a path of certain death. "Although you have obtained the inheritance of the Hanba, the Hanba has not gone far in the path of corpses. The one who created the Hanba back then was, haha …"
"You mean …" Hou? "Do you know anything about tigers?" As the heir to Hanba, how could Hong Ling not know who the Old Ancestor was? However, the Ancient Times Hou had already disappeared without a trace, especially after its soul had been destroyed by Nuwa. No one knew about it, as it was likely only an existence on the level of Nuwa would understand it. What was Sikong Banyu's background?
Sikong Banyu smiled and said, "Lady Hong Ling, this doesn't seem to be what we should be doing now. If Lady Hong Ling is interested, then you are welcome to come find me anytime. As long as you can afford it, I will give you what you want."
That was enough. Speaking till here, Sikong Banyu's last bit of doubt was completely dispelled. Now, Hong Ling was most likely the one who did not want him to die! Because he was the hope of his rebirth.
"You …" Hong Ling was like a lost child when she suddenly found a bright light. However, after the light flashed, it disappeared again. She watched Sikong Banyu close his eyes, held onto the Million-year Red Fruit and began to cultivate. Hong Lili had countless questions, but she could only temporarily swallow them down. She did not dare to disturb Sikong Banyu because he was not only a mysterious existence, he had also become her lifesaver.
"It's time …" Spirit Stage, hehe … " The Million-year Red Fruit melted in his mouth and dense spirit energy rushed into Sikong Banyu's body. In an instant, the inner Qi in Sikong Banyu's Dantian quickly gathered together, and at the same time, the inner Qi that was rushing into Sikong Banyu's Dantian, was directly guided by Sikong Banyu to the Dantian. Instead, the inner Qi that was gathering from his veins, was once again guided by Sikong Banyu into the veins.
This was a process of transforming into a Genuine Essence. The destructive power of the Genuine Essence could not be described as the same as inner breath, as the inner breath was slightly mild, but once the Genuine Essence appeared, it would first strengthen the muscles and veins, allowing them to adapt to and endure the impact from the Genuine Essence. If the Genuine Essence was directly released into the veins during this process, then the meridians would be broken. At that time, the Genuine Essence would be here, but the body would not be able to take it, which was also why Sikong Banyu used the Son of Heaven Sword Dao, and would fall into a weakened state. That was because he had to forcefully draw out the inner breath to replace the Genuine Essence, but the consumption of the veins was actually to the extent of tempering the meridians, so it was natural that he would not be able to endure it.
This tempering method was to allow the original inner breath, along with the formed Genuine Essence s in the dantian, to slowly circulate within the muscles and veins with a small portion of the inner breath, and with this, slowly temper the tendons and veins, and then slowly increase the number of Genuine Essence s. Finally, the muscles and veins would be able to accept all of the Genuine Essence s, and during this guidance, the inner breath would slowly be swallowed and transformed into a true Genuine Essence.
Sikong Banyu was already familiar with this point. Plus, it was due to his powerful soul control ability. Thus, there wasn't much difficulty for him to do so. Time passed minute by minute, the Genuine Essence Sikong Banyu refined gradually became unobstructed in his veins. Although this process was extremely painful, Sikong Banyu looked calm on the outside because he could not show any emotions.
He was a cultivator, and what Hong Ling knew was the Fighter. Although Hong Ling might know about cultivators, Sikong Banyu did not want her to know that he was a cultivator. On the other hand, stepping into the [Innate] realm was a different method. This method was to use the two branches of the Lord to carry out the Great Way of the Heavens and the Earth, to connect the bridge and the transfer chariot, following the natural order of the Great Way of the Buddha. There was no pain in this process. It was enough to have a sense of morality, so as long as Sikong Banyu showed any signs of pain, Hong Ling would be suspicious.
"Hiss …" "We're finally done." After an unknown period of time, Sikong Banyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, because the process of refining the muscles and veins had finally been completed. Sikong Banyu looked at the Genuine Essence that had been replaced by his own, and was not anxious at all.
The Perception Realm was the cultivation of the cultivator's body. It allowed the cultivator to have a seamless body that could contain the energy of heaven and earth, responding to the great dao of heaven and earth. In other words, the Perception Realm still belonged to the bodies of mortals, while the Spirit Stage was already in the realm of the Immortal Mortal. This was a type of qualitative improvement, it was not something that the Genuine Essence could bear. It was the same for the Innate Rankers. This was also why the fighting strength of Innate Rankers were so extraordinary. Even the Innate Rankers who were at the peak of the Heaven Level would not have the chance to take a single move in front of an Innate Ranker.
Sikong Banyu once again put the Million-year Red Fruit that he had taken a bite on into his mouth, but this time, he swallowed it all.
