Chapter 499: The Southern Border
Chen Qing paid careful attention to the changes in his True Origin.
After breaking through to the twelfth refinement, the most immediate sensation was the leap in his True Origin's quality.
With just a gentle motion of his mind, the speed at which his True Origin circulated had increased by nearly thirty percent compared to before the breakthrough, and the consumption during its operation was smaller, with the full-cycle circulation running smoothly without any obstruction.
He raised a hand and loosely cupped it. The free-floating elemental qi of heaven and earth drifted toward him like tired birds returning to a forest, gathering on their own into a warm, soft current in his palm.
"My mastery over the elemental qi of heaven and earth has indeed deepened another level."
Chen Qing noted this inwardly.
The same techniques and secret arts would now consume less True Origin, recover more quickly, and as for their power, his gaze drifted to a black-iron block in the corner of the meditation chamber that he used for testing force. He straightened two fingers like a sword blade and tapped lightly through the air from a distance.
"Hiss!"
A thread of yellow-black True Origin burst from his fingertips. It pierced the air without a sound, yet the moment it touched the black-iron block's surface, it left behind a finger-hole sunk a full inch deep.
