"Heavenly Crystal."

The irregular milky white columnar crystal lay in Qing Yu's hand. On the outside, it appeared as some kind of glistening crystal, and under the observation of the Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Skill, one could see the Cloud Qi faintly forming and dissipating inside.

"Legend has it that the Heavenly Crystal is one of the surplus Five-Colored Stones left after Nuwa mended the heavens. Just the property of it being able to mend the firmament is imbued with indescribable mystery..."

Qing Yu immersed his mind in the White Cloud Smoke Heavenly Crystal in his hand, feeling the vast waves of clouds within, watching them rise and fall.

Qing Yu had previously practiced Three-Point Returning Essence Energy and absorbed the Martial Arts Enlightenment of Xiong Ba, and was well versed in the Cloud Clearing Palm. As he observed the cloud sea formed by the White Cloud Smoke, he realized that all the Cloud Qi insights could be found within the cloud sea. The White Cloud Smoke alone encompassed all the mysteries of Martial Arts evolution through the Cloud Qi.

"This is equivalent to entirely hiding the realm of natural mist and cloud within the Heavenly Crystal. It depends on how much the cultivator can comprehend."

Absorbing the energy of White Cloud Smoke is one thing, comprehending the Daoist Essence within it is another. The cultivators of the "Primordial Treasure" have always found it difficult to reach Nuwa's level because they cannot fully understand the mysteries of Cloud Qi transformation.

Moreover, with ten Heavenly Crystals, each distinct in its mysteries, it was as if simultaneously understanding ten extremely profound Martial Arts texts, the time and effort required were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Of course, there are also ways to cheat...

"Original work's Huang Fuji directly comprehended the mysteries of the Mystic Universe due to the fragments entering his body, becoming the first person to master the entire 'Primordial Treasure'. However, this method is like Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit, devouring it whole without thorough understanding."

This cheating method uses the Heavenly Crystal at the cost of destroying its essence, treating it as a one-time consumable item to open the supremely profound gate of the Primordial Treasure. But once the gate is opened, how much you can remember depends on your fortune.

"So next, I must simultaneously comprehend the Primordial Treasure, cultivate on my own, and find ways to enhance my Primordial Spirit, increasing my capacity. I have three souls, already standing twice as high as ordinary people, but it's not enough; further improvement is needed."

Qing Yu's three souls, the strength of each soul is not weaker than those of the same Realm, but merely relying on the current strength, it's not enough to accommodate the Heavenly Crystal.

"For now, ponder and absorb, let's see how far I can advance my 'Primordial Treasure'."

························

Heavenly Gate Pass.

Under the bright moonlight, the black flames appear to be burning from hell. Auspicious Day had danced in the sky for almost a day, and the power of the Destructive Fire was gradually increasing.

Now outside Heavenly Gate Pass, the earth's height had fallen by one zhang, all of that soil burnt to black ash by the black flames, flying all over the sky. The outside of Heavenly Gate Pass resembled an apocalyptic wasteland hell.

Moreover, the towering Biliqianren military formation was already beginning to sway, even with Gao Boyang, the great general, joining, under nearly a day of black fire, the military array was nearing its limit.

"Destroy this pass, and I can completely refine Shiva's Eye. Then, I'll stand alongside Fantian, becoming the Lord of Peacock."

Auspicious Day's dance grew more frenzied, as if the blazing black flames were bringing her an extreme pleasure, her once grim and hideous face was beginning to fade, seemingly returning to her former gentle beauty.

But at this moment, an incredibly rigid and powerful Fist Power thundered in, the domineering Gang Wind clearing a path through the black ash in the sky, forcing Auspicious Day to stop dancing.

"Destructive Holy Heaven Wheel."

Auspicious Day's Heavenly Light transformed into the light of destruction. Behind her appeared a Shiva Dharma Image, three-eyed and four-armed, supporting the heaven with arms, a halo of light gathering the power of destruction, charging towards the supreme Fist Power.

"Boom—"

Ferocious and wild imposing power filled the heavens and earth, a figure in a golden Nine Dragon Robe burst from the waves of energy, with a stature that, although of average height, was imposing as if touching the sky, striking a punch to collide once more with the Shiva Dharma Image.

"Prince Shunping—"

Auspicious Day controlled the Shiva Dharma Image transforming into physical form, the gray giant hand clashing head-on with the supremely rigid and mighty Fist Power. The formidable aftershocks gave the already near-limit military formation a sense of dissolution. Inside Heavenly Gate Pass, many soldiers were impacted, bleeding from seven orifices to death.

"I would rather you call me Shengde Emperor."

Prince Shunping, or should be called Hou Qian Shengde Emperor, issued a grand and majestic voice, each punch stronger than the last, and although the punches were plain, they carried earth-shaking power.

The Fist Power of Shengde Emperor seemed domineering to the extreme, yet it was an explicit representation of strong power. The former Shadow King had no aggressive aura, just sheer strength.

"Ha ha, Shengde Emperor? You dare claim virtue. Ji Chengtian, you split Daqian, leaving countless people homeless, where comes the virtue?"

Auspicious Day's blue skin began to darken, evolving into a gray dark tone. She resumed her dance, but the dance now infused rigidity within the beauty, gracefully exchanging blows with the fist power, the explosively rigid power could even contend head-on with the ultimate Fist Power of Shengde Emperor Ji Chengtian.

Supreme Sacred King Yoga.

Auspicious Day, inheriting the garb of Shiva, was naturally most versed in the way of Yoga, being the most physically strong among those at the same Realm in the Nalanda Temple, even though she was known for her serene and compassionate appearance, being the leader of the Four Heavenly Women.

Facing the supreme Body Refining Yoga Path of the Peacock Dynasty, Ji Chengtian simply launched punches calmly, the simple Fist Power bursting into radiant fist might, with grand and mighty power, surprisingly subduing the perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility of the Supreme Sacred King Yoga.

"Power grants authority, authority grants benefits to claim virtue, I call myself Shengde Emperor, who dares to defy?"

Fist thoughts and will erupted with boundless might, Ji Chengtian had no sophisticated moves, just one punch after another, each punch stronger than the last.

Just as he claimed, with sufficient strength, power and virtue naturally followed, and if anyone dared to challenge, one punch would kill them.

Those who always remain in the shadows could never truly wield grandeur, this much the former Shadow King Ji Chengtian understood. He wasn't content merely to stay as a king in shadows, so he chose the most plain and yet directly power-expressive path.

Survival of the fittest, power prevails, this is the plain core law both in the world of light and in shadows. So long as one holds power, in this world where the might returns to oneself, they stand among the Peaks as a warrior.

"Overturning Mountains and Rivers."

Extremes of power can shatter mountains and rivers, Fist Power crushed the space, almost forcibly created a cobweb-like space rift. This punch, supreme and mighty, was nearing the threshold of another realm.
