Qin Heng's palm became a blur. With lightning speed, he tapped the acupoints around Xun Hanyan's body. Mana flowed from his fingertips into her meridians and entered her body. In an instant, it transformed into an overwhelmingly powerful force! It began to immensely strengthen Xun Hanyan's body!
At the same time, the space between Xun Hanyan's eyebrows shone brightly. Her divine soul began to sublimate at its core from the nourishment of Qin Heng's Mana. Her spiritual power swiftly grew stronger. In the blink of an eye, she broke through her physical constraints, sensing the existence of the Heavenly Essence outside!
Generally speaking, for a Grandmaster of Transcendence to break through to the Innate Realm, the most difficult step is to sense the existence of the Heavenly Essence outside. This is the most difficult part. Yet, once the Heavenly Essence is successfully sensed, it's like having half a foot in the Innate Realm! This is an absolutely crucial step!
Countless Grandmasters of Transcendence spend their whole lives unable to reach this level. But with Qin Heng's help, within just a few seconds, Xun Hanyan had stepped from an ordinary Grandmaster of Transcendence to the threshold of the Innate Realm!
Xun Hanyan was extremely clear about the changes in her own body. Her heart was shocked to the extreme; she simply held Qin Heng in awe!
At first, she was very shy. But after feeling Qin Heng's Mana, she immediately felt as if she were floating towards immortality, as though she had ascended to the clouds and entered the ocean of Yuan Qi. Like a fish in water, she swam with ease!
Even in her perception, she faintly saw a vast ocean. It seemed omnipresent, containing endless power and vitality, intertwined with the evolutions of the world and the Dao and principles of creation! And she was like a fish in this ocean of Yuan Qi, swimming freely while absorbing its nourishment, strengthening herself! She seemed to have merged as one with the ocean of Yuan Qi!
The Sea of Yuan Qi! This is the Sea of Yuan Qi! The records mention that only when breaking through to the Innate Realm can one possibly sense the Sea of Heavenly Essence!
Xun Hanyan was shocked and incredibly excited. Her family's extensive knowledge made her acutely aware of what she was perceiving, but she was also greatly puzzled.
According to the family records, although the Sea of Heavenly Essence has existed since time immemorial, the number of people who can truly sense it is exceedingly few; such an event is rare even in a thousand years! Moreover, most people, when breaking through the Heavenly Gate and advancing to Innate, at most get a distant view of the Sea of Yuan Qi, or even just a vague projection! Even our ancestor from the Xuns, the sage Xunzi, only managed to sense a distant view of the Sea of Yuan Qi. It's said that when the sage Zhuangzi broke through the Heavenly Gate, he saw the sea waves surging, his grace unmatched in the world! Yet now, I seem to have merged into the Sea of Yuan Qi, becoming one with it, indistinguishable. What on earth is going on?!
Xun Hanyan's mind was filled with doubts and astonishment. She wouldn't arrogantly believe that her aptitude surpassed Xunzi or even Zhuangzi. Thus, the crux of the issue must lie with Qin Heng! That's right! The one constructing the Heavenly Earthly Bridge for me, connecting me with the power of the Heavenly Essence from the outside world, is in fact Qin Heng's power. It's his power, which means the scene I am perceiving now should actually be his! My heavens! Who exactly is this Qin Heng? To be able to merge directly into the Sea of Heavenly Essence when sensing it—this is countless times more formidable than Xunzi and Zhuangzi!
Xun Hanyan's heart was struck with extreme shock.
If Qin Heng knew what she was thinking now, he would surely laugh out loud. Merging into the Sea of Yuan Qi was truly nothing to him.
After breaking through to the Innate Realm, sensing the Sea of Heavenly Essence is called "stepping through the Heavenly Gate to observe the Sea of Qi" in the Martial Dao circles of Earth. This is known as the true starting point of martial cultivation, and only a very few geniuses with heaven-defying talent can perceive it.
The Immortal Cultivation World has a similar saying. When advancing from the sixth to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement, there is a saying: "When the sea of qi enters one's sight, the gate to immortality opens." This means that as long as one perceives the Sea of Heavenly Essence while breaking through to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement—even if it's just an illusory projection—one can at least cultivate to the Golden Core Realm. Becoming a True Lord of the Divinity Transformation Realm is not impossible; such a person is called a "Saint Heir"!
Such individuals are extremely rare, even within the vast Immortal Cultivation institutions deep in the Star Sea. In a star system as large as the Milky Way, with its countless cultivating planets, there might not even be ten of them.
If one can see the true form of the Yuan Qi ocean, even just from a distance, stepping into the Returning to Empty Realm is almost a certainty. There is even a chance to merge with the void and become an Earth Immortal, to be acclaimed as a "Saint Heir"!
Individuals of such caliber as a Saint Heir are even rarer. Even before Qin Heng ascended to the Immortal realm in his previous life—having traversed the Starry Sky, swept across the universe for countless light-years, and nearly crushed all the cultivating star systems and myriad worlds of the Mortal World—he had seen fewer than thirty.
If one can witness the surging waves of the Yuan Qi ocean, that is a sign of a potential Immortal. One might even be hailed as the reincarnation of a True Immortal, a celestial being descending to Earth, an offspring of Immortals, with boundless glory conferred upon oneself!
In Qin Heng's previous life, throughout the entire Mortal World's universe, amidst countless civilizations, infinite dimensions, and boundless worlds, spanning back one hundred and eighty thousand years, there had been only one such being with the makings of an Immortal—just one!
Before Qin Heng's meteoric rise, this person was the Dominator of the human world. He was revered by billions upon billions of worlds, and even descending True Immortals were vanquished by him! He dominated the universe, his divine might boundless!
In the end, he was crushed to death by a single finger from Qin Heng. The reason was simple: the gap was too vast.
In his previous life, Qin Heng had reached the sixth layer of Qi Refinement overnight at the very start of his cultivation journey. Due to a lack of experience and no one to guide him, it took him a day to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement, and then he reached the pinnacle of Qi Refinement in one go.
When perceiving the sea of qi, what Qin Heng perceived was an entire boundless ocean of Heavenly Essence. This ocean of Yuan Qi was merely within his palm, occupying about one-tenth of his palm space—insignificant! He was too strong!
BOOM!
Under Qin Heng's guidance, the sea of Heavenly Essence soared in an instant, and the sky above Beijing flashed with golden light. The thick Heavenly Essence converged like a deluge! This left many Innate Grandmasters in Beijing shocked and bewildered.
Meanwhile, in the room at the Hilton Hotel, the Heavenly Essence was so rich that it almost turned into mist. Finally, it all merged into Xun Hanyan's body, cleansing her marrow, transforming her bones, and purging all impurities from within! These impurities were instantly dispersed and purified by the converging Heavenly Essence and didn't remain in Xun Hanyan's body.
However, if she had been wearing clothes, these impurities would undoubtedly have remained on them, ruining them. Then she would have had nothing left to wear, as they had only gone out to eat and hadn't brought any clothes with them.
Xun Hanyan slowly landed on the bed. She could now clearly feel an incredibly powerful force within her, capable of defeating a thousand of her former selves with just a punch!
"So strong! Truly so strong, is this what being Innate is like?" Xun Hanyan joyfully looked at her hands, having even forgotten her current state of complete undress.
She was immersed in indescribable joy and jumped straight into Qin Heng's arms. Kissing his cheek, she hugged him naked and said, "Thank you! I really thank you!"
Qin Heng looked down at this beautiful woman, blooming like a flower, and chuckled, "How would you like to thank me?"
