Chapter 733 - Innate Qi (1/2)
The [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] is indeed incredible!
Zhong Yue channeled the power of this art and felt the Innate Dao trembling vigorously. His body was not strong enough to channel the power of his art so he relied on his Innate Yuan Shen to activate it but even so, his improvements were beyond his imagination as there was now Innate Qi within his Yuan Shen!
Whether it be Qi Practitioners or gods, no matter how strong they were, their powers were all cultivated bit by bit. They were not born with them.
The only way to achieve Innate Qi was to awaken the Innate True Spirit and Innate True Soul at the same time.
Just this alone was already impossible to most people out there and without the Innate Yuan Shen, all they could do was nurture the Innate Qi given to them by innate gods. Little by little, they would have to cultivate and nurture the Innate Qi to a level where it would be sufficient for combat.
But then again, even the life of a god would come to an end one day and when they passed away, their Innate Qi would be taken back by the innate gods; after an entire life of hard work, the Innate Qi they cultivated so hard would only become feedstock for innate gods.
Zhong Yue was very much different, however. He was the one and only one non-innate living being to have managed to achieve the Innate Yuan Shen, making it no longer exclusive only to the innate gods and making him able to cultivate Innate Qi himself as well!
His energy slowly evolved into Innate Qi but his Innate Qi was split into five types. There was the Innate Yin Qi, Innate Yang Qi, Innate Celestial Qi, and Innate Demon Qi.
But apart from these four, there was also another type of Innate Qi that Zhong Yue couldn't figure out.
The Innate Yin Qi was formed because of the Innate Star Toad True Spirit, which was the moon spirit. The Innate Yang Qi was because of the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit; that was the sun spirit.
On the other hand, the Innate Celestial Qi matched with his celestial cultivation and the Innate Demon Qi was because of his demonic cultivation.
These four types of Qi represented his four types of cultivation.
Celestial, Demon, Yin and Yang formed his [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], and that was the root of his cultivation.
So where did the last Innate Qi come?
This Innate Qi appeared to be extremely vague and it was basically impossible to identify it's function and element.
Strange, what formed this unknown Innate Qi?
He was confused.
He didn't even know the fifth Innate Qi appeared even when he only cultivated four types of Qi.
This Innate Qi was completely unknown; its origin was not known, its element was unidentified and its usage was vague.
Zhong Yue tried to stimulate this Innate Qi and used it to cast skills, only to discover that it was entirely powerless.
Forget it, I will just leave it aside first. My cultivation is mainly based on the celestial, demon, Yin and Yang power and I shall continue focusing on these four. If I manage to cultivate everything into Innate Qi, my overall strength will reach new heights!
As his original Qi slowly evolved into Innate Qi, the capacity of his Qi shrunk rapidly; almost a thousand times the amount of Qi was required to turn into Innate Qi; even with the extremely high capacity of his energy, he failed to sustain such a rate of consumption and it did not take long until he realized his volume of energy had plummeted precipitously!
If I convert all my energy into Innate Qi….
His eyes widened as he ran through a calculation and he lost his voice for a moment, "Then my energy capacity is equivalent to an Inner Core level Qi Practitioner's!"
He was a little dumbfounded; cultivation level was represented by the capacity of energy and the levels; if he converted all his energy into Innate Qi, his level would not drop back to Inner Core level but his energy capacity will!
Which also meant that even when he was in the Imminent Deity level, his energy was just at the Inner Core level!
Will it take a large amount of Qi if I use the Innate Qi to cast skills?
Zhong Yue blinked his eyes; back then, when he still had a large amount of energy capacity, quite a large sum of energy was required to cast skills and the energy used when he cast three skills was the total energy capacity of an Inner Core level Qi Practitioner.
Thus, if he converted all his energy into Innate Qi, did it meant that he would deplete his energy completely after three moves?
"That surely cannot be the case...." murmured Zhong Yue as he tried to comfort himself while he continued his cultivation. Sometime later, he finally turned all his energy into Innate Qi; the Innate Yin, Yang, Celestial and Demon Qi experienced a great hike in power and they all turned into four cosmic streams in his body.
And along with the four Qi, the unknown Innate Qi was also strengthened but its usage and element remained a mystery to him.
Zhong Yue did not bother with this unknown innate Qi for now and he thought, Though they have their own elements, I can still turn these Innate Qi into other powers like the five elements, the heaven, earth, myriad livings, and even Dao through the Six Path Reincarnation. Thus, with the Innate Qi that I have cultivated, I had sort of turned into a full elemental innate spirit body as I could perform all Innate Qi through Six Path Reincarnation!
