Chapter 346: Soaking in the Pure Yang Waterball
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“Now that there’s a whole set of procedures, what shall we do?”
“Find it” Green Spirit replied resolutely, “Since the place is a spacetime gap, it’s far larger than you could imagine, so we only stand a chance if we conduct a search ourselves.”
“Fine, I’ll find it!” Zhou Bao was forced to agree. In this current situation, listening to Green Spirit was his only thing to do. He launched Gang Qi, which glittered with a red light, before Zhou Bao and Green Spirit began their search in this dark eccentric space where one couldn’t see his hand in front of himself.
This seemingly aimless search made Zhou Bao feel helpless. After ferreting about for a long period of time, maybe one day, 10 days, or even a month—nobody knew the exact time—just as Zhou Bao was approaching the extremities of boredom from this tedious task, Green Spirit’s psywave suddenly arrived with great excitement. “Found it! I found it! Haha, it’s me who found it!”
“Found it? Where?” Hearing this, Zhou Bao also got thrilled and hastened to ask.
“Follow me!” said Green Spirit. With starlight sparkling, Zhou Bao trod on the heels of that starlight and, in a few seconds, arrived at an odd place.
It was still pitch-dark there, but following Green Spirit, Zhou Bao felt as though his feet were treading upon something tangible.
Once he stepped on it, he found it soft, and very comfortable to stand on. It was just like standing on a ground covered with sponges or softwood.
Looking around, as it always had been, nothing existed except for the ground-like tangible substance under his feet.
Green Spirit moved on and Zhou Bao followed him. After totting for around an hour, Green Spirit came to a halt.
“Ahead is the place!” After saying this, the starlight faded away. “Bloke, I’m an incarnation right now, though lodging in the Sky-measuring Star Ruler, I still can’t approach the remains of an Innate Deity!”
“Why?” Zhou Bao asked with confusion.
“Because I just successfully refined my incarnation, the Second Primordial Spirit, so I have no way to resist against the Innate Pure Yang Qi of an Innate Deity!”
“Then, what about me?”
“You have a tangible body and your Original Spirit is protected by it, so the Innate Pure Yang Qi will not do you any harm, instead, it’ll do you loads of good!” As they were talking, Zhou Bao stepped several paces forward and a waft of rich Pure Yang Qi blew directly in his face.
Innate Pure Yang Qi!
It was the most nutritious spirit for any creature. However, nothing could be absolutely good or bad, right?
For example, water was the most important substance for all creatures, but it could also make you drown if there was too much water on earth.
The Innate Pure Yang Qi was indeed a great nourishment, but if one consumed this nourishment way too much, his internal heat would also be too exuberant.
The Innate Pure Yang Qi here was so dense that it had already transformed from gas to liquid. This region with the radius of 10,000 feet was actually a gigantic ball formed by the liquid, which was purely comprised of the Innate Pure Yang Qi.
“Hiss!” At the sight of this scene, Zhou Bao gasped, but soon his shock was replaced by a fit of ecstasy. “So much Innate Pure Yang Qi! Hahaha, Pure Yang Injection! Pure Yang Injection! F*ck, why didn’t I bring more celestial devices with me in here!”
While immersed in wild joy, several lights emitted from Zhou Bao’s body and started flashing violently, bringing out four of his Mysterious Level celestial devices and wizard weapons—the Poison Cold Shield, the Knot Golden Net, the Blue Sword and the Golden-Scaled Cudgel—they all bustled out and dashed right into that Pure Yang Waterball. Then, a twinkle flitted between his eyebrows, his Golden Flame Mirror also rushed out and plunged straightaway into the Pure Yang Waterball.
His Poison Cold Shield was originally refined based on the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, which was a very rare treasure. It was just that the refining way of this Poison Cold Shield was highly sinister and vicious, plus it was of the Cold Attribute, even though it was already at Mysterious Level, once the refining was completed, a considerable amount of Innate Pure Yang Qi was still needed to evolve it into a Pure Yang Celestial Device. But in the present world, where could he possibly find so much Innate Pure Yang Qi?
The success of refining the Golden Flame Mirror shall mainly be attributed to its extreme Yang nature. Besides, it was forged by the Tusita Fire and it absorbed extreme Yang flame like the Sun Colored Glaze Flame, and that was what pulled off this fluke. However, though the Golden Flame Mirror was already a Pure Yang Celestial Device, its power was still at the bottom level if compared with other Pure Yang Celestial Devices.
Now, with suddenly so much Innate Pure Yang Qi in the vicinity, Zhou Bao would naturally never let this opportunity slip by.
The so-called Pure Yang Injection referred to the means allowing a celestial device to possess a bit of Pure Yang Qi, with which one could evolve his formation talismans. Pure Yang Injection was, in fact, a pretty generalized concept. If we had to use an analogy, it could be said that this was a procedure similar to bestowing living creatures with spiritual intelligence. Before obtaining the spiritual intelligence, one could merely be a beast, regardless of how powerful his strength was or how prestigious he was. But when he possessed the spiritual intelligence, no matter what kind of creature he had been, he would be qualified to call himself a demon. He could be an evil beast, or else a monster, but anyway, he would belong to the demon family.
The difference between a Pure Yang Celestial Device and a Mysterious Celestial Device lay on the issue that whether one possessed the spiritual intelligence or not. This was a qualitative leap.
What the Pure Yang Injection technique needed was exactly a bit of Pure Yang Qi.
Why did this only need a bit of Pure Yang Qi?
The reason was that there wasn’t that much Pure Yang Qi in the present world. The Golden Flame Mirror, for instance, only rose to a Pure Yang Celestial Device after absorbing a wisp of Pure Yang Qi by relying on the help of the Sun Colored Glaze Flame.
But currently, there was so much Innate Pure Yang Qi in front of him, which was so thick that it could turn his Poison Cold Shield into a Pure Yang Celestial Device straightaway, for the evolvement of Pure Yang formation and Pure Yang talisman did not necessarily require Zhou Bao’s engagement. The reason why he did it in person when refining the Golden Flame Mirror was that the amount of Pure Yang Qi at that time was so minimal that it was unable to complete the evolvement by itself. But now, in the Pure Yang Waterball, there was enough Pure Yang Qi for this smart Poison-absorbing Green Bead to evolve into a perfect Pure Yang Celestial Device on its own. Meanwhile, the Pure Yang Formation of the Golden Flame Mirror could also be improved here, and its power could soar to several phases above its present level. As to that Knot Golden Net, it was unable to upgrade to a Pure Yang Celestial Device at once due to its material limits. Nevertheless, when it had absorbed sufficient Innate Pure Yang Qi, it could gradually evolve its magic formation and grow into a Pure Yang Celestial Device as long as it could undergo a careful purification.
In this way, adding the Sky-measuring Star Ruler and the Lunar Shuttle, Zhou Bao would possess a total of seven Pure Yang Celestial Devices!
Seven Pure Yang Celestial Devices!
What did that mean? Well, the Jin dynasty only owned two Pure Yang Celestial Devices. One of which was robbed by Zhou Bao.
Among those millennium families and powerful families, only a few of the strongest ones possessed Pure Yang Celestial Devices, which was used to stabilize their fate. Even for those huge sects that had existed for thousands of years, like the Tian Long Taoism, they could merely have one or two Pure Yang Celestial Devices. But Zhou Bao had already gotten seven!
Though these devices were far enough for him to set up a millennium sect from scratch.
“Ah, almost forget this!” Zhou Bao rummaged for a while and finally took out the Life Pearl of that Cloud-swallowing Beast. Then, he tossed it into the Pure Yang Waterball as well.
“This time I shall have 90% assurance to refine this Air-frozen Bead into a Pure Yang Celestial Device!” Zhou Bao thought to himself. “Shall I throw myself in as well? Maybe I can really have a Pure Yang body and become a virgin once again, hey hey…”
Harboring this obscene thought, Zhou Bao stared at that Pure Yang Waterball and continued brooding on this wretched stuff.
“Boy, don’t push the limits. A bit would be enough!” Just at that point, Green Spirit’s psywave arrived. “Take it easy, don’t go too far! Though you have the Pure Yang Waterball here, you can not mess with it!”
“What do you mean?” asked Zhou Bao in bewilderment.
“You’ll find out soon enough!” Green Spirit replied, but didn’t give him a straight answer.
“Then, can I get in it and take a bath?”
“You idiot! This is Pure Yang Water, quite beneficial for your body. Its effect can be much better than consuming tonics like Bone-Forging Pills or Tendon-Changing Pills. You know that a majority of those Innate Deities from antiquity times were born from this kind of Pure Yang Waterball?” Green Spirit cried out. “You can take a bath in it, but never launch your techniques or start practicing there!”
“I’m not that silly!” Zhou Bao murmured quietly. Then, he looked up and slipped into that Pure Yang Waterball.
“Wow…” The instance that he got into the Waterball, Zhou Bao couldn’t help but let out a yell out of comfort.
It was truly comfortable!
Stepping into the Pure Yang Waterball, the Pure Yang Water inside seemed to have sensed the existence of a living creature and turned into thin trickles, pouring into his body and pores to reach his insides. Then, the Pure Yang Water kept flowing autonomously along his tendons and meridians.
Yes, those trickles were flowing autonomously. Right now, Zhou Bao did not dare practice at all, and he even did not dare breathe, because once he took a breath, the immense Pure Yang Qi he inhaled would certainly make him explode. Thus, he shut down his breathing but opened up hundreds of thousands of pores all over his body. Pure Yang Water crept into his body through those pores, forming the flows inside his tendons and meridians that were actually organized and regulated. As a matter of fact, these trickles of Pure Yang Water went along his tendons and meridians and directly ran to his Dantian and acupoints.
Zhou Bao had so far opened nine acupoints—the Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints. The capacity of each of these acupoints was infinitely larger than an ordinary Dantian, and Zhou Bao hadn’t filled up any of them before.
Because, for one thing, the spiritual qi in the present world was not so abundant; for another, his tendons and meridians might not be able to take in so much Qi either.
But now, as the Pure Yang Water flowed, Zhou Bao could clearly feel that a portion of the Pure Yang Water that went inside his body had already seeped into his tendons and meridians, bones, flesh and blood, and even viscera. Being nourished by the Pure Yang Water, his body also started to present delicate changes. These kind of changes were pretty subtle, which meant that his body did not grow infinitely stronger at once. Instead, these were in-depth changes, and he felt that every bit of his flesh and blood, every piece of bone, and every single cell came to be full of intelligence, alive like tiny little creatures.
Every part of his body was brimming with vitality and intelligence. Meanwhile, his tendons and meridians had been forcibly expanded by Pure Yang Water and became extremely resilient. With the current strength and resilience, his tendons and meridians could bear the amount of Internal Qi produced when all the nine acupoints were launched. But that was not all of it.
When the Pure Yang Water was nourishing and changing his body, most of the water flowed into his nine acupoints. At this time, these nine acupoints served as nine reservoirs, unprecedentedly being filled up in a twinkling. After filling up his acupoints, Pure Yang Water began to infuse and evolve with the Internal Qi that was originally stored in his acupoints, and then slowly transformed into his Demonic Fire Internal Qi. Compared with the previous one, this newly formed Demonic Fire Internal Qi was multiple times purer.
It was true. Under the influence of the Pure Yang Water, the Demonic Fire Internal Qi inside Zhou Bao started growing purer, while in his Dantian, the essence of all his Internal Qi, the kindling of that Demonic Fire finally began to metamorphose.
Yes, metamorphose!
Zhou Bao was a Level Eight expert. Apart from the Internal Qi, his acupoint also housed eight Real Essence Sources. Among them, the most important one, as well as the largest one, was the Source in his Dantian, which was the foundation for everything.

His Internal Qi had already turned into the Dragon Chimera’s Demonic Fire, whose quality was much higher than most Real Essences. If it could truly evolve into a Real Essence in the future, its power would naturally get stronger at exponential speed. However, if you wanted to sustain those Real Essences, your body must also meet some extremely harsh requirements.
Real Essence and Internal Qi were two kinds of powers that were at different levels. That was why the first barrier that one shall meet after jumping out of the Three Small Realms was to refine one’s tendons and meridians.
The first Realm of the Three Big Realms was to refine tendons and meridians!
Only by refining those tendons and meridians that could bear the Real Essence could one truly became a Metaphysic Individual Immortal.
Now, with the impact and nurture of Pure Yang Water, those Real Essence Sources in his nine acupoints started to change, especially the one in his Dantian. At first, it was a cluster of black flame, but now, after absorbing and transforming Pure Yang Water, it began to pulse as if Zhou Bao had taken some magic pills. A dim but explosive power was pulsing in the Real Essence Source, and the surrounding Internal Qi also drew toward that Real Essence Source and got absorbed by it. This did not only happen in his Dantian, but in other eight acupoints as well.
Thanks to the almost inexhaustible Pure Yang Water here, Zhou Bao could really make this happen. Comparing it to the present world, the amount of Pure Yang Water he had consumed was an astronomical figure, while in this place, it was merely a few drops of water at most. Abundant Pure Yang Water backed up the Real Essence Sources in Zhou Bao’s acupoints to incur this ever so eccentric change.
At first, Zhou Bao did have some concerns about whether his Real Essence Sources would all burst at once and turn his Internal Qi into Real Essence, allowing him to directly jump from Level Eight up to the Mysterious Realm.
No, to Level Nine!
With only a few seconds of breathing after he entered the Pure Yang Waterball, when he experienced the nurturing and remolding of the Pure Yang Water, his body strength, his Internal Qi quality, and even the state of those Real Essence Sources in his acupoints, had all reached Level Nine.
That huge gap between Level Eight and Level Nine, as viewed in eyes of ordinary people, was easily crossed by Zhou Bao without a fuss.
If this happened to someone else, he would certainly be overjoyed. But for Zhou Bao, this might not be good news.
Yeah, not good news!
This was due to his Fiery Eyes, which was his deepest and deadliest secret. He could manage to keep it a secret when his cultivation was below the Mysterious Realm. But once he broke through that level, he would be registered on the Golden Book of Fate. When that day came, he would face some real trouble.
He was indeed powerful at present, but his experience and strength were still not sufficient enough. Thus, it was impossible for him to confront the orthodox influence represented by the Divine Wind Palace. Once this secret was exposed, he would face a close-call situation for sure. Therefore, Zhou Bao had been trying to slow down his cultivation progress. However, the more he tried, the more troublesome this turned out to be. Such being the case, if he stayed longer in Pure Yang Water, he would probably really break through the Mysterious Realm!
Thinking of this, Zhou Bao started to think about leaving.
However, right at this point, a mutation happened.
All his nine acupoints vibrated at the same time, and a strong power burst out from the nine Real Essence Sources.
“F*ck, we’re done for!”
Zhou Bao’s heart gave a jolt, and he really thought those Real Essence Sources were going to explode. But to his surprise, they didn’t. In contrast, under the joint impact of the outside Pure Yang Water and the inside Real Essence, a wonderful change surfaced.
All the Real Essence Sources began to contract.
Yes, they didn’t blow up or turn his Internal Qi into the Real Essence. On the contrary, they actually started to condense and clear themselves.
“What’s going on here?” Just when Zhou Bao was at a loss, shots of faint golden light were simultaneously released from his nine Real Essence Sources. Vaguely, Zhou Bao felt that a certain kind of change was happening inside his Real Essence Sources.
Level Nine!
This was the feeling of being at Level Nine.
When he was at Level Eight, his Internal Qi, which were as hard as steel, also carried the Real Essence Sources. In emergencies, he could even draw some Real Essence Qi out of those Real Essence Sources to replenish his Internal Qi and enhance its power. But now, he had stepped into Level Nine. Level Nine!
Those Real Essence Sources could disperse Real Essence Energy of their own accord, which could naturally infuse into his Internal Qi and create a state of semi-Internal Qi and semi-Real Essence. This type of Internal Qi had gained some preliminary features of the Real Essence and possessed great intelligence. The Internal Qi could be refined into something similar to the Primordial Spirit, such as the Heavenly Devil Real Body, through some powerful cultivation methods. Lastly, it would infuse into one’s body and allow one to accomplish the Individual Immortal Karma Rank.
Currently, Zhou Bao’s Real Essence Sources had condensed into a blotch, which was a very peculiar shape, but was still giving off rich spirits of the Real Essence like other Level Nine experts’ did. His Real Essence Sources had blended into his Dragon Chimera Fire and fallen into a state of semi-Internal Qi and semi-Real Essence, full of intelligence.
however, Zhou Bao still felt that something went wrong, for the Real Essence his Real Essence Sources issued out should be golden colored. But anyway, his initial Internal Qi was already very odd. Zhou Bao wouldn’t even be surprised if it had evolved to be multi-colored Real Essence, let alone the pure golden one.
What Zhou Bao found odd was the fact that this whiff of Real Essence was mingled with a bleak and primitive spirit that seemed to have come from the primitive times or even more ancient times. There was another kind of spirit contained within that made his heart palpitate like mad. He could not tell what it was exactly, but it was truly there.
“Given that my Internal Qi is the Dragon Chimera’s Demonic Fire, a kindling inside the beast of primitive times, could it be possible that both of my Internal Qi and Real Essence have returned to their ancient states?”
Zhou Bao was buried in rumination, wondering whether this change was beneficial to him or not.
All of a sudden, Zhou Bao felt his nine acupoints starting to pulsate concurrently.
“Eh? Looks like those Real Essence Sources has absorbed enough Pure Yang Water!” Zhou Bao thought. Indeed, the nine acupoints had already stored adequate Pure Yang Water. Pure Yang Water that was initially flowing along his tendons and meridians had also stopped pumping into his Dantian, and started aggregating bit by bit through a mystical and eccentric path.
Dantian!
Watching the path of Pure Yang Water, Zhou Bao was slightly taken aback. He clearly saw that Pure Yang Water was pouring into his “Dantian”.
But this “Dantian” was not one of his nine acupoints, instead, it was a huge “Dantian” that was constituted by the Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoints combined.
The capacity of this “Dantian” was even larger than that of the nine acupoints, actually, over a hundred times larger than each of them. But most importantly, when Pure Yang Water flew into this Dantian, the thing produced by the gradual transformation was not the Internal Qi of his Dragon Chimera Fire, but the Real Essence!
It was a golden colored Real Essence!
What this enormous “Dantian” was awash with was exactly the light golden Real Essence emitted from his nine Real Essence Sources.
However, compared to those vague mists blended in the Internal Qi that his Real Essence Source was giving off, the Real Essence integrated into this huge “Dantian” was flowing like real liquid gold, emanating a kind of honorable and domineering spirit that even made Zhou Bao feel irresistible.
At the sight of this golden Real Essence Energy, Zhou Bao was somewhat dumbstruck.
“No way! Already condensed into the Real Essence? Have I reached the Mysterious Realm?” “But that does not seem right. It can’t be. Breaking through the Mysterious Realm from Level Nine can’t be like this. Even though my body strength and my Internal Qi has turned into the Real Essence, my primordial spirit should have made the same change as well! These three shall act in unison, but why hasn’t anything happened to my divine thoughts yet? And why has my Real Essence Source remained so quiet, too?”
Zhou Bao found this inexplicable, and also couldn’t figure out what on earth his current state was.
But it was evident that he had not entered the Mysterious Realm, for his spirit had not changed a single bit. However, his internals were suffused with the Real Essence Energy. He knew for sure that although his huge “Dantian” had not been filled up yet, in terms of the quantity of Real Essence, he should already surpass all Individual Immortals in the world regarding the quality of his Real Essence. But he was not an Individual Immortal right now, just a Level Nine expert.
At the thought of this present situation, he was amused.
This was really grotesque.
However, no matter how grotesque this was, it did happen to him. He wasn’t dreaming at all.
“Fine, fine. Regardless of what happened, it must be good for me!” Zhou Bao consoled himself, allowing Pure Yang Water to freely run into his Dantian and then transform.
Having no idea about how long this had taken, when his huge “Dantian” was filled to the full extent by a colossal amount of golden Real Essence, Pure Yang Water seemed to have lost its aim and began to run wild in his body.
As hints of a swelling sensation spread out from his tendons and meridians, Zhou Bao knew that it was time to go out.
Just when he was about to take off, something beyond his expectation happened again.
His Fiery Eyes were turned on.
Previously when he plummeted into Pure Yang Water, his Fiery Eyes remained quiet as usual, and remained so when the Pure Yang Water pumped into his body. But now, just as everything was drawing to an end and the Pure Yang Water had already offered Zhou Bao sufficient benefits, his Fiery Eyes were suddenly turned on. His eyes instantly went sanguine, and the ring of black line around each of his eyes starting circling. As the black lines started moving, something incredulously odd happened.
Both of his eyes seemed to turn into bottomless pits and sucked all the Pure Yang Water around into that mysterious space.
This time, Pure Yang Water was being actively sucked in, instead of passively seeping in as before.
The speed of this intake was amazingly fast.
In just a few seconds of breathing, the diameter of that Pure Yang Waterball rapidly shrank from 10,000 feet to 5,000 feet. While the only thing Zhou Bao could see in that mysterious space was a wisp of faint fog.
“What on earth is happening?”
As though sensing a drastic change around the corner, Zhou Bao’s heart began to pump violently, while his spirit started shivering too.
