Chapter 45
Inside a guest room provided by the Baekseo Antique Bookstore.
Yang-hwi was immersed in Qi Circulation Meditation.
‘Immortal Qi… what a wondrous energy.’
The Immortal Qi from the Immortal Elixir had manifested out of nowhere after his regression.
Then there was the Immortal Qi lingering in the Spiritual Elixir that had emerged from that mysterious Iron Sphere Mechanism.
Even setting aside the fact that both shared the exact same nature.
Immortal Qi truly was extraordinary.
In his past life, Yang-hwi had studied countless martial arts and examined all manner of internal energies to advance his clan’s techniques, yet he had never encountered anything like this.
Though he called it Immortal Qi, it was fundamentally different from the pure, benevolent energy cultivated by martial artists of the Taoist Sect.
This was clearer, deeper, far more primal, and absolute.
‘It feels as though…’
If the Celestial Realm truly existed, this was the very essence that would fill it.
‘No, that’s absurd.’
Ancient legends spoke of places like Sinseongeo, where immortals gathered, or the mythical haven of Mureungdowon.
Yet myths were just myths, strictly separated from reality.
Tales told of masters reaching Ipsingyeong, their enlightenment piercing the heavens until they attained Ascension, but that was nothing more than romantic lore.
Still, the Immortal Qi dwelling within Yang-hwi felt so miraculous that it made him question whether those ancient tales might hold some truth after all.
‘It is merely an energy, yet it naturally integrates into my flesh, tempering it to be tougher and more resilient.’
