The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 189 - 187: The Power of the Dragon Elephant
Chapter 189: Chapter 187: The Power of the Dragon Elephant
Because he could sense clearly, as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continually tempered his body, his muscles and bones were greedily absorbing this Qi, visibly becoming stronger at a rapid pace.
Also, as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi permeated his body, his pores began to exude beads of sweat, which carried black impurities, giving off a strong, unpleasant smell.
Seeing this condition on his body, Shen Luo revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
During the Qi Refining Stage, he had experienced the process of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi replacing his marrow. He had assumed all the impurities in his body had been eliminated during that time, but it seemed there were still many residues left!
If he were not cultivating the Huangting Technique, he wondered how much longer these impurities would have stayed within his body.
As the black impurities were expelled one after another, his body felt significantly lighter, as if he had shed a heavy burden.
...
The sour, numb, and piercing feeling had gradually subsided, now replaced by a soothing, full sensation.
Shen Luo inwardly sighed a breath of relief. Freed from the discomfort, he began to practice the Huangting Technique even faster.
“Cultivating this Huangting Technique doesn’t seem as difficult as the explanation made it out to be.” He thought to himself as he cultivated.
Whether it was using Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to refine his body, integrating it into his flesh, or transforming Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in his meridians into Mana, everything was exceptionally smooth. He achieved it easily, it was not as difficult to cultivate as stated in the Huangting Technique. Especially those seemingly difficult stages, he managed to get through them as easily as breathing and eating.
“Is it because my aptitude suits the cultivation of the Huangting Technique, or is it that I’m already at the Nascent Soul Stage hence cultivating the Huangting Technique from the beginning is easier? Or is it the combination of both?” Thoughts spun in his mind.
But Shen Luo soon cast aside these random thoughts, fully devoted to practicing the Huangting Technique and absorbing more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into his body.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days and three nights had passed.
Shen Luo remained seated still on the straw cushion, not moving at all.
At this moment, a layer of black scabs covered his body. These were formed by the impurities his body had expelled, mixed with his sweat and dust. This thick layer gave off a foul smell.
However, with his eyes closed and focused on cultivation, Shen Luo was blissfully unaware of this.
Suddenly, his hands slowly rose to perform a magic spell, a faint golden light shot out from his body and soared into the sky.
Soon after, the golden light split into two, transforming into a faint golden Flood Dragon and a golden Elephant. These two beings then began to circle and fly around his body.
After circling for a while, the Golden Dragon and the Golden Elephant playfully crashed into each other, causing a chorus of roars and chants to echo around, causing the nearby air to hum and vibrate.
The black scabs on Shen Luo’s body were immediately shattered and splattered around, falling like rain on the mountain walls and floor, but some still remained on his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, his lips curling into what seemed to be a smile. But just then, a foul smell reached his nose. His brows furrowed as he glanced at his body and the surroundings.
The smile on his face instantly disappeared, immediately performing a spell with a flick of his hand.
Moisture from the air in and outside the cave converged swiftly, forming a stream that washed over him, removing all the dirt in an instant.
The stream then circulated the cave, sweeping up the scattered black scabs and depositing them outside the cave.
Only then did Shen Luo’s face finally relax. Looking at the Golden Dragon and Golden Elephant Phantoms around him, a smile reappeared on his face.
After three days and three nights of hard cultivation, he had finally mastered the first twelve lines of the Huangting Technique, which constituted the cultivation method for the Qi Refining Stage.
While his Mana did not increase significantly, his body had undergone earth-shaking transformations. The density of his muscles and bones had increased several-fold, and his internal organs seemed to have grown stronger as well. When he breathed, a force as mighty as the Dragon Elephant rolled within him.
Shen Luo lowered his spell-casting hands, the golden light around him slowly faded away, and the phantoms of the Golden Dragon and Golden Elephant disappeared. Afterward, he raised his fist and punched at the empty space near the cave wall.
As his fist hit, the air rippled like water waves, quickly surging forward.
With a light “Plop” sound, a punch mark several inches deep clearly appeared on the cave wall a few feet away, causing the whole cave to shake.
Shen Luo retracted his arm, a satisfied expression on his face.
At this moment, without using his Mana and purely relying on his physical strength, he could compete with a cultivator at the Grain Avoidance Stage. The enhancement effect of the Huangting Technique on one’s body was indeed astonishing.
He had only managed to cultivate the first realm of the Huangting Technique. If he could cultivate a few realms further, he could not fathom how strong he would become.
However, Shen Luo did not get arrogant or complacent. In the past few days, he had read many classics of Mount Fangcun in that great hall, vastly broadening his horizons. The secrets of the world of cultivating immortality were endless. Physical strength was just one form of power. Mana, spells, Artifact Refining, Array Techniques and so on – if each of these areas was cultivated to a high level, they could all bring about earth-shaking power.
He let out a light breath, sat down again, and closed his eyes to enter a state of cultivation.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi nearby started to gather and surge again, enveloping his body once more.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. A roar echoed out from the slightly open cave, this roar was like a surging tide, each wave higher and more fierce than the previous one, causing the entire cave to tremble continuously.
Accompanying the roar, a dazzling golden light shot out from the stone door, the frantic rotations creating a sparkling scene.
Dragon roars and elephant cries echoed within the golden light, but they were drowned out by the sky-shattering roar.
Inside the cave, Shen Luo was sitting cross-legged.
Brilliant golden light circled around him, with three Golden Dragons and three Golden Elephants revolving and dancing around him. The golden light flickered, the roars and cries of the dragons and elephants were incessant.
The Golden Dragons and Golden Elephants looked more solid than before, appearing lifelike. As they stormed around, they churned up strong gusts of wind, with continuous whistling sounds.
After a while, Shen Luo suddenly opened his eyes. All around him, golden light flickered and the three Golden Dragons and three Golden Elephants merged into a ball of golden light, vanished into his body, and disappeared without a trace.
Shen Luo looked down at his arms enveloped in golden light, an excited look crossing his face.
During the past half a month, he had set out to cultivate the next twenty-four lines of the Huangting Technique. The result was as smooth as flowing water — seemingly divinely aided, his physical strength had increased yet again, adding the strength of two more Dragons and two more Elephants.
Shen Luo stood up, dispelling the golden light engulfing his body with a spell, then firmly clenched his fist, which made a loud cracking sound due to the air in his palm being squeezed and then exploded by the force of his grip.
He moved his body around, causing the bones all over his body to crackle. Then, he swung his hands lightly and pressed towards the empty space in front of the cave wall.
Two muffled “Bang” and “Bang” sounds echoed out.
Deep handprints clearly appeared out of thin air on the cave wall in front of him. They were as clear-cut as if chiseled out with a knife and axe. The entire cave shook violently as if unable to withstand the power of the two palms.
