<h4>Chapter 178 Fighting Against The Dao Bone</h4>


    Long Ming filled like his entire body going to melt under the power of the ming water. He activated his Great Mystic Mountain Physique, increasing his weight and the defense of his body.


    However, the burning sensation seems to prate into his body through his tough skin and deep into the marrows.


    '' Such a powerful and potent Fire Qi, it feels like it''s burning me from inside.'' Long Ming cursed. However, as time passed he felt the burning sensation lessening a bit as his body adjusted to the Pure Sr Spring.


    '' Fire… The protector of life and a part of five elements. The force that carries the heat to incinerate anything yet also the warmth to make a person remain alive.''


    '' The finest representation of Yang energy, the fire is one of the natural destructive forces of the universe.''


    Long Minh''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes sparkled as he could feel the profoundness of the Pure Sr Spring. It''s refining the power of the underground fire vein along with the aura of the sun for thousands of years, gathering their essence in the pool.


    Not only did Long Ming feel the spring was refining his body, but he could also feel the convergence of various naturalws of heaven and earth there.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he slowly immersed himself in the Pure Sr Spring.


    The Fire Qi ran like a torrent in his body as it was slowly absorbed by his True Core. However, since he didn''t want to break through into the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, he suppressed the Fire Qi and refined it over and over again.


    Suddenly, his heart thumped as he seemed to realize something. Like a ss shattering sound, he felt like he understood the power of me.


    '' Sun represents pure and yang attributes. Not only does it sustain life, but it also purifies all the filth and evil.''


    '' Fire…there are different types of fires…But what I want is just like the one in Pure Sr Spring…Robust yet subtle, righteous and full of energy.''


    Suddenly, all the burning sensations from the Pure Sr Spring seemed to vanish, as if the mes in the water suddenly got tamed by Long Ming. The mes swirled around Long Ming like a gentle breeze without hurting him.


    Long Ming exhaled a breath of warm air as he could feel his meridians werepletely filled with the flowing mes. Unlike regr me, these are different.


    '' me Qi, similiar to my Scarlet Yang Qi…If I merge them…''


    Suddenly, the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques appeared before Long Ming as it started flipping, Long Ming caught a glimpse of several heavenly physiques recorded in the scripture.


    However, as time passed, he picked a Royal grade physique called Azure me Royal Body.


    Azure me Royal Body, Pure Sun Royal Body, and Crimson Yang Royal Body can further evolve into Verdant Sun Imperial Body and zing Infernal Imperial Body.


    Long Ming wanted to pick the Verdant Sun Imperial Body. However, for that, He needed to reach at least Perfection Completion of Azure me Royal Body to switch the techniques or Hundred Thousand Essence of Primordial True me.


    Currently, Gathering a single essence of Primordial True me will be a tough job for Long Ming. As for a hundred thousand drops, it was enough for the entire Eastern Province to plunge into chaos.


    Therefore, Long Ming decided to cultivate the royal body first as it would be easy to reach the Initial stage with all the Pure Sr Spring water here. Long Ming took a deep breath as he plunged deep into the pool.


    He activated his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique and the pitch ck dragon swirled inside his divine sea. He also used his Scarlet Jade Great Body Art as a catalyst and circted his Scarlet Yang Qi,


    *BOOM BOOM*


    His true core hummed as Fire Qi circted around like rolling waves. His divine sea turned bright as the scorching waves of energy filled it. The pitch ck dragon opened its mouth and sucked all the qi inside its mouth, assimting in Long Ming''s body.


    Long Ming recalled the records of Azure me Royal Body as he circted Fire Qi ording to it. Condensing the mes inside his body, Long Ming started to refine it.


    As its name implied the azure mes contained the power of both fire and wood. Its cerulean azure color represents the cycle of wood getting fed to fire the energy of fire sustaining wood.


    Although the azure me''s power is rtively weaker than the Pure Sun fire or Crimson Yang fire, its me is perfect for cksmithing and pill refining.


    Unlike various me attribute techniques, the Azure Sun Royal Body allows a person to create azure blue mes naturally, increasing its proficiency by arge margin. Besides, Its affinity toward wood makes it exceptional for pill refinement.


    The Pure Sr Spring bubbled as a vortex formed while Long Ming remained in the center of the vortex. The powerful fire qi surged as it was devoured by Long Ming.


    Long Ming felt a burning sensation throughout his body as if he was getting med alive. Although the pain was lesspared to when he got the Great Mystic Mountain Physique for the first time, it was still enough to make him grow crazy.


    After spending an unknown amount of time, Long Ming felt he achieved a special kind of connection with the mes. Thanks to the help of Pure Sr Spring and the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques, Long Ming managed toprehend the Intent of Fire.


    And the moment heprehended it, he felt the refinement of Azure me Royal Body became easier.


    The water of Pure Sr Spring dried up as it got absorbed by Long Ming. Long Ming felt both his body and energy underwent a qualitative transformation.


    '' And, I finally reached the Initial Completion stage of Azure me Royal Body in one go.''


    Long Ming''s entire body was covered with a halo of azure blue mes. Unlike the mes of Ming Yuexin''s Scorching Summer me Qi, Long Ming''s azure me Qi was pretty gentle as it flowed like water.


    However, Only Long Ming knew that if he were to use this azure me, the effect would be pretty devastating.


    '' If I were to face the golden statue again, I can defeat him with only ? of the previous time.'' Long Ming grinned as he got up. He saw the water of the Pure Sr Spring almost reduced by ?.


    '' If I were to cultivate here, I could simply cross the Minior Physique Tribtion of Azure me Royal Body. However, if my foundations be shallow, I might not be able to reach the Perfection stage.''


    Other than devouring rare resources, one needs to temper their physiques with battles andprehension. If one simply relies on various medicines and treasures to rush forward their physique cultivation, the chances of death during the physique tribtion would increase by 70%.


    That''s why a number of physique cultivators is lesser than qi cultivators. But it wasn''t a concerning issue for Long Ming.


    '' Should I take some of the Pure Sr Spring water outside? Hmm, I wonder if my bathwater would sell amidst the female cultivators?'' Long Ming rubbed his palm.


    But then, he realized that if he took out the water from the spring, its effectiveness would be halved. Long Ming pondered as suddenly, his eyes shone as he saw the bottom of the spring. There are various big and small crimson pebbles lying.


    The moment Long Ming touched it, he was surprised as they were filled with robust Intent of Fire. There are a lot of them lying here, probably condensed due to the water of Pure Sr Spring. Long Ming didn''t waste any time as he collected those pebbles.


    Long Ming walked out from the spring as he looked at the sky, Since his strength had increased once again and he mastered the runes of Seal, Destruction, and Illusion, he opened his system window the check the deadline of the quest.


    '' There are only 6 hours remaining? So, I already spent more than a week here?'' Long Ming was shocked as he realized that fact. However, since that''s the case, he decided to open the sealed box and take out the dao bone of the demonic beast/


    *SCCREEEEECH!*


    Long Ming felt his eardrums exploding as a terrifying aura assaulted him the moment he opened that box. A gigantic shadow spread its wings in the sky as it created powerful pressure on Long Ming.


    However, this time, Long Ming didn''t back away. Already experienced with such pressure, Long Ming used his Eternal True Spirit Art as his spiritual qi rolled out.


    As the intense wave of demonic qi tried to oppress his mind, his spiritual qi blocked that attack. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he finally saw the true self of that dao bone.


    With the body covered with feathers of arctic blue as it coursed with wind and lightning, a gigantic bird projected out from the dao bone. The bird was like a phoenix, yet it had three royal blue eyes, staring at Long Ming with malice. The wings spanned across a hundred meters as it was like a massive heavenly bird.


    Long Ming clenched his fist as he took a step forward. His goal was to grab that dao bone and refine it. However, as he came closer, the projection of that bird attacked him.


    With Rgaing Storm Wings unfurling, Long Ming used his own tribtion lightning qi as he fought against the aura of the giant demonic bird. His Great Mystic Mountain Physique activated, him him the strength to not get pushed back.


    '' This dao bone is mine!''
