The Turtle Breath Technique, upon breaking through to the 11th level, gave birth to the Mysterious Turtle True Essence which is incredibly powerful. It can be used for both attack and defense, achieving effects so astonishing as to leave onlookers speechless.
It can even make a martial art like the Wind Thunder Archery, which hasn’t reached the level of pseudo Divine Skills, erupt with the might of a pseudo Divine Skill!
The defense is equally formidable. Employing the Mysterious Turtle True Essence to execute the Turtle Breathing Qi Armor, its defensive strength is so robust that it can withstand attacks at the level of pseudo Divine Skills.
As for Concealment, with the Turtle Breath Technique reaching the 11th level, Su Changkong just has to conceal his own vital energy, becoming like a dormant turtle or a piece of ordinary deadwood, without leaking the slightest hint of energy. Whether it’s Demon Monsters or other means, they would find it difficult to detect his presence.
Previously, Su Changkong inevitably left traces of his own energy when he took action, which allowed the Heavenly Corpse Old Man to locate him.
But now, even if the Heavenly Corpse Old Man could perceive the remnants of his energy, he would most likely be unable to follow it back to Su Changkong.
Originally, it was as though a thread connected him to the remaining trace of his energy, but now Su Changkong can cut this thread by concealing his own vital energy!
This will undoubtedly make Su Changkong much safer, avoiding the risk of being located by someone tracking his energy.
"The consumption of the Mysterious Turtle True Essence is too great, three drops of Mysterious Turtle True Essence... it’s still too little."
Su Changkong thought to himself.
Three drops of Mysterious Turtle True Essence, as powerful as they are, are simply not enough. Su Changkong had to think of a way to increase the total amount of Mysterious Turtle True Essence!
Of course, it’s easier said than done.
It took a thousand threads of Innate Qi to condense these three drops of Mysterious Turtle True Essence.
And to continue obtaining Innate Qi, the path of the Evil Demon Sects is definitely not viable anymore. For one, there is scarce information about the Demon Gates, and the intelligence Duanmu Tao gave him about the Evil Demon Sects was just seven or eight, of which four have already been plundered by Su Changkong, leaving only the rest, like the Heavenly Corpse Sect, which are tricky to deal with.
Secondly, these Demon Sects must have already taken precautions. If Su Changkong acts again, it might provoke a unified hunt from the entire Demon Sect, not to mention just the Heavenly Corpse Old Man who is already unfathomable. There may not be just one expert on the level of the Heavenly Corpse Old Man in the Demon Sect!
If he were to be attacked by several top-notch powerhouses, the outcome would be unpredictable.
There might even be Martial Saint level experts within the Demon Sects!
They formed what is called the Sacred Heart Alliance, daring to make a move against Duanmu Tao, who is loyal to the Great Flame Royal Family, which shows that they are confident.
The method of plundering the Demon Sects is definitely unreliable.
"My Mysterious Turtle True Essence is refined from a substantial amount of Turtle Breathing True Qi and Innate Qi. Does it have the effect of Innate Qi, helping people to transform into an Innate Body?"
At this moment, Su Changkong also came upon a thought.
Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique absorbed a great deal of Innate Qi to cultivate the Mysterious Turtle True Essence, so it should naturally have some of the effects of Innate Qi!
With this in mind, Su Changkong decided to give it a try.
Immediately, Su Changkong left the desolate mountain riding a white crane, and returned to the Spirit Taoist Sect, seeking out the Sect Master, Helian Yuan.
"Sect Master, do we have any disciples in our Spirit Taoist Sect who have reached the peak of the Qi-Blood Realm and can be trusted? Could you bring one over? I have something I need to try."
Su Changkong said to Helian Yuan.
Although Helian Yuan didn’t know the purpose behind Su Changkong’s request, he was clear that there had to be a significant reason. Without hesitation, Helian Yuan nodded and said, "We have many such disciples in the Spirit Taoist Sect; I’ll bring one over right away."
"Go and ask Zuo Qiu to come here," Helian Yuan immediately ordered a disciple outside to fetch a capable Inner Sect Disciple who had reached the peak of the Qi-Blood Realm.
They didn’t have to wait long before a young man arrived at Helian Yuan’s residence.
At sixteen or seventeen years old, this youth looked somewhat youthful, but he had a tall build, and his vital energy was extremely strong.
"Sect Master, Elder Su." The young man greeted Su Changkong and Helian Yuan respectfully, and at the same time, he wondered why he had been summoned so suddenly.
Helian Yuan introduced the youth to Su Changkong, saying, "Elder Su, his name is Zuo Qiu. He joined the Spirit Taoist Sect at a young age and possesses fairly exceptional talent."
Upon hearing this, Su Changkong nodded. Zuo Qiu had grown up in the Spirit Taoist Sect since he was a child; he was loyal and trustworthy. He made for a good subject for the experiment.
Then, Su Changkong kindly said to Zuo Qiu, "Zuo Qiu, I need your cooperation. There might be danger... but more likely, it could be your opportunity to undergo a complete rebirth. Are you willing to cooperate?"
Su Changkong did not force Zuo Qiu; he planned to use his own Mysterious Turtle True Essence to try to change Zuo Qiu’s constitution so that he could transform into an Innate Body, ascending to Innate. Since he had never tested this before, there could be danger, so Su Changkong frankly mentioned the potential risks.
Zuo Qiu hesitated. Elder Su was an extremely low-profile Guest Elder in the Spirit Taoist Sect. Apart from the Sect Master and a few other Elders, the rest of the sect was not even clear about the background of this Guest Elder.
However, seeing Helian Yuan there, Zuo Qiu’s expression firmed up, "I am willing to undertake any task you give me, Sect Master and Elder Su, even at the cost of my life!"
Zuo Qiu did not understand Su Changkong’s character, but he trusted that Sect Master Helian Yuan would not harm him, so after a brief hesitation, he readily agreed.
"Good!"
Su Changkong didn’t waste words. He walked up to Zuo Qiu and placed a hand on the Dantian area of his lower abdomen.
