Primordial Qi allows the Martial Arts of the Blue Star to stand alongside science, becoming the predominant study of the world.

Precisely because of this, this mystical energy, which can be directly manipulated by human thought, is revered by countless Martial Artists as the foundation of Martial Arts.

For a Martial Artist, Primordial Qi is like oil to industry, or currency to an economy.

But Ye Qingzhou had never heard anyone mention that Primordial Qi could actually have an owner!

When Ye Qingzhou stepped into the Skin Refining Without Leakage realm and infused his Martial Arts Will into the Primordial Qi stored within his Dantian, he finally discovered the secret that Primordial Qi is owned.

"Primordial Qi actually belongs to someone?"

"Do other Martial Artists know about this?"

With a thought, Ye Qingzhou asked Yingyue, "When you refine Primordial Qi, do you feel anything special?"

"No, not really."

Yingyue's pretty face pressed against Ye Qingzhou's neck, her dainty nose moved slightly as she sniffed the Innate Wood Qi on him, asking puzzledly, "Why do you ask, my lord?"

"It's nothing."

On the surface, Ye Qingzhou remained calm as a still water, but inside, a storm raged: 'Even Yingyue doesn't know this secret, so Martial Artists of the Dongji Kingdom are even less likely to notice...'

The impact of this realization was undoubtedly immense for Ye Qingzhou.

He finally understood that the liveliness of Primordial Qi was not naturally occurring but was "processed" by some powerful beings.

Just like the difference between computer software and computer programs, the Primordial Qi that Blue Star's Martial Artists use is akin to a convenient, fast "computer software."

However, this "software" of Primordial Qi is a product specially designed and manufactured by someone else.

This means that the Martial Techniques and even the integration of their spirit and will into Primordial Qi that Martial Artists develop based on it all ultimately belong to someone else's pocket.

"Are Martial Artists mere leeks? Or rather, hired hands?"

Ye Qingzhou didn't know how to describe it for a moment, but one thing was certain: this wasn't good.

He simply didn't want to bow and scrape to the powerful, which is why he focused solely on cultivating Martial Arts.

Now, having practiced Martial Arts, he still had to be a beast of burden for someone else, which would mean all his efforts were in vain.

Ye Qingzhou then frowned, "Wait, why am I able to find the oddity in Primordial Qi?"

After mulling it over silently, Ye Qingzhou quickly realized, "It's the realm of Mastery!"

The so-called realm of Mastery essentially involves the unity of Shen, Qi, and Spirit within the Martial Artist, resonating with one another, and then transcending one's limits with an extremely elevated mind, to make techniques akin to Divine Techniques.

At this realm, any Martial Technique undergoes a transformation, stepping into the Divine Domain, and treading into the Extreme Realm.

"Divine Speed, Divine Power, Divine Gang, Divine Skill, Divine Void, Divine Power—I have already undergone six layers of transformation in my Spiritual Realm, and now, having completed the Skin Refining Without Leakage, isolating inside and out, and forging my true form, my Life level has also elevated accordingly. So, only with the simultaneous transformation and elevation of Spirit and Life can the underlying 'compilation' of Primordial Qi be perceived."

Ye Qingzhou's current Spiritual Realm and Life level had both been elevated to the extreme, allowing him to detect several hidden Martial Arts Wills within the deep core of Primordial Qi.

These Martial Arts Wills are currently in a dormant state but once awakened, even the Primordial Qi absorbed and refined by human Martial Artists would return to their true owner.

Alongside this, the Martial Techniques crafted through grinding, and the spiritual will of human Martial Artists would become resources for the owner of Primordial Qi.

If such a "Qi recirculation" truly occurred, the consequences could be disastrous for the Dongji Kingdom and the entire Martial Arts World of the Blue Star.

Ye Qingzhou instantly thought of when Kang Jinlong attempted to seize the body of White Flood Dragon Fengqi—didn't White Flood Dragon Fengqi swallow Kang Jinlong's Dragon Essence, thinking he could steal Kang Jinlong's cultivation and Divine Position? In the end, instead, he lost his own life and possessions.

"Indeed, the gift of fate had its price marked long ago. And anything given by others can be reclaimed at any time."

"It seems, Primordial Qi can no longer be directly absorbed."

Previously, Ye Qingzhou eagerly sought out Exotic Treasures filled with Primordial Qi, but now, knowing the truth, he naturally avoided them.

"Moreover, the Primordial Qi currently in my body must also be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise, all my cultivation and even my life would end up being a wedding dress for others."

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Qingzhou immediately sat still, once again activating the Twenty-Four Gods within his Spiritual World and the Life Network woven by Divine Gold within his body.

Primordial Qi cannot be directly absorbed and must be externally transformed, utilizing the forces of nature to filter out the "harmful" parts.

At this moment, Primordial Qi was being inhaled and exhaled by the trees and plants of Jade Mist Mountain, then, through layers of transformation and purification, the Innate Wood Qi, pure beyond measure, gathered upon Ye Qingzhou.

Although each tree, even each blade of grass, could provide a very minimal amount of Innate Wood Qi.

But Jade Mist Mountain was large enough, with a range of over seventy miles, and the countless vegetation and flora were currently all interconnected by Ye Qingzhou, forming a unified ecological network.

So, the gathered Innate Wood Qi was so abundant he couldn't digest it all alone, and instead, Yingyue beside him was benefiting greatly.

She could be seen now snuggling against Ye Qingzhou's shaved head, rubbing affectionately, saying, "My lord, I want more."
