Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1405

Chapter 1405 Immortal Qi

1405 Immortal Qi

"Let me inspect your body for a moment. I need to make sure you're actually fine." Senior Bai said as he placed his palm on Yuan's chest.

Despite Yuan's assertion of well-being, Senior Bai found it hard to accept that a mere Spirit King could withstand his Immortal Qi without incurring significant harm.

However, Senior Bai wasn't looking down on Yuan because of his low cultivation. What he had inadvertently unleashed moments ago was Immortal Qi, a power reserved for those who had transcended the realm of mortals by becoming a Bronze Immortal. It was a power beyond mortal endurance, not meant to be withstood by ordinary beings, regardless of their talents.

The Immortal Qi Senior Bai had unleashed carried enough potency to inflict serious injuries or even death upon a Spirit Sovereign. However, Yuan, a mere peak Spirit King, emerged with nothing more than a bloody nose after facing the brunt of Senior Bai's Immortal Qi. This outcome left Senior Bai utterly confounded, as it defied comprehension.

Not daring to believe what was before his very eyes, Senior Bai inspected Yuan's body again. Sure enough, his internal organs remained unharmed, only slightly stressed because of the immense pressure.

'Unbelievable… even though it was only for a brief moment, he endured my Immortal Qi and came out nearly unscathed. What kind of divine body does he possess?' Senior Bai swallowed nervously as he lowered his hand.

"I am glad that you are unharmed. Once again, I extend my deepest apology for my lack of control just now." Senior Bai said a moment later.

Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget about that, Senior Bai. Can you tell me more about that aura you released instead? I have never experienced anything like that before!"

Senior Bai nodded and explained, "What you experienced just now is called Immortal Qi. It's spiritual energy that is also similar to your Sword Aura, something that can only be comprehended and absorbed by cultivators after they achieve Bronze Immortal."

"Immortal Qi is what differentiates cultivators and immortal cultivators, as it's impossible for a mortal cultivator to defeat someone with Immortal Qi no matter how talented they are, sort of like Enhanced Sword Aura and Sword Aura."

Yuan pondered Senior Bai's words. During Tian Yang's time, the concept of Immortal Qi did not exist even though there were several immortal cultivators.

"By the way, I also sensed something ominous inside your body—a powerful curse. Did something happen to you recently?" Senior Bai suddenly asked.

Yuan showed a bittersweet smile and said, "Sort of. I've been cursed by the Celestial Emperor."

"You what?!" Senior Bai exclaimed in a shocked voice. "Y-you met with the Celestial Emperor?!"

He quickly shook his head, "No, I haven't. I don't know why, but he decided to curse me. Perhaps I've been climbing the Nine Divine Heavens too quickly and he wants to slow me down."

"What sort of curse?" Senior Bai inquired for more information.

"According to Xiao Hua, it's a curse meant for Exiles, and it reduces the effectiveness of all cultivation resources for me by a significant amount."

Senior Bai frowned upon learning of this information and said in a cold voice, "I will let Lady Xu know of this later. She can speak with the Celestial Emperor and get it removed."

Yuan's eyes widened at his words. Did Xu Jiaqi have such influence that she could change the Celestial Emperor's mind?
