Chapter 870: Thunder and Lightning
"Phew..."
The moment he was sealed inside the cocoon, Chu Liang didn't panic. Instead, he let out a long, steady breath.
From the moment he realized the air was poisoned, he had stopped breathing entirely. Holding his breath, he had focused on circulating his qi to steadily build up his cultivation energy.
He was in far better shape than the others, but it was not just because he was at the seventh realm. It was also because he had two qi-circulation channels, two golden cores, mastery over the five elements, and two transcendent forms. Compared to others at the same level, his foundational qi regenerated at an exceptionally fast rate.
While this advantage might not have been obvious in terms of combat strength, in a situation like this, the benefits of rapid qi recovery became immediately clear.
Chu Liang channeled part of his cultivation to resist the corrosion of the purple venom dripping around him, all while searching for a way to break free. Thanks to his powerful physique and the protection of the Rock Devil Hide, he was not in immediate danger. However, staying inside the cocoon was not a long-term solution. He might be able to endure it, but he was worried the others would not.
He first tried using his most powerful sword qi, powered by the unity of three sword Daos, but even when it struck the surface of the white cocoon, it failed to leave a mark on the resilient silk threads. Even Immortal Yuan Lu, an eighth-realm cultivator, had worked at it for quite a while before breaking through the cocoon. How could Chu Liang, still in the seventh realm, possibly succeed?
Seeing that even his sword qi, powered by the unity of three sword Daos was ineffective, he realized he didn't have a better method at the moment.
As various divine techniques flickered through his mind, he suddenly remembered an idea he had thought of earlier.
Previously, he had instructed the Dao-Comprehending Puppet to study both the Great Dao of the Ultimate Yin and the Great Dao of the Ultimate Yang, curious whether the two might form a unique synergy. The puppet had only recently completed its comprehension, and he had not yet had the chance to test the result.
Could combining these two Daos produce a miraculous effect?
