Chapter 541 Black and White Spiritual Power (4000 words)_2
The temperature around gradually dropped, becoming cool and crisp.
"Huh? Spiritual Power can actually be used like this."
Xiang Beifei found it quite refreshing.
He had flown all the way here, facing the hundred-degree temperatures of this place. He had simply used Spiritual Power to keep them at bay, meaning any wind that blew his way was repelled and couldn't touch him.
But when he used the black and white Spiritual Power, he separated the heat from the hot wind with the black Spiritual Power and only allowed the normal wind to pass through. In this way, his black and white Spiritual Power was like having a portable air conditioner.
So the current situation was that, although Xiang Beifei was in the desert with hot winds blowing at temperatures over one hundred degrees, after passing through the black and white Spiritual Power barrier in front of Xiang Beifei, the wind turned into twenty degrees, feeling a bit cool when blowing.
"Youyou!"
Little Youmeng quite enjoyed these cool breezes because the high temperatures outside could easily dry it out, so it clung tightly to Xiang Beifei's shoulder, letting the cool wind rustle the leaves on its head, feeling very comfortable.
"Then does the black and white Spiritual Power have other uses?"
Xiang Beifei pondered, then looked back at the cactus that had just shot spines at him, patted the cactus, and said, "Hey, big guy, try spitting ink at me again."
However, the cactus obviously trembled, daring not to move an inch.
This cactus, although having been tamed by Erha just now, was actually quite powerful. Although it was just a plant, if it really fought, the spines it sprayed were not weaker than a desolate beast in the late God Refining stage, so it had intelligence.
This cactus couldn't talk, but it could perceive Xiang Beifei's strength. Hearing what Xiang Beifei said, it even thought he was threatening it. It dared not challenge Xiang Beifei.
"Erha, let it spray some ink, I want to do an experiment," Xiang Beifei said.
"Ao wu!"
The Wooden Kirin happily wagged its tail, and the cactus trembled before reluctantly spraying a stream of black ink with a strong corrosive nature towards Xiang Beifei!
The black ink landed on Xiang Beifei's Spiritual Power barrier quickly, and the black and white Spiritual Power immediately swept out. The black Spiritual Power clung to the ink, intercepting all the corrosive energy, while the white Spiritual Power stuck to the remaining material.
Whir!
After the black ink sprayed over, it surprisingly turned into a clump of pure water!
Xiang Beifei's eyes lit up!
He carefully gathered the pure water together, stirred it gently, and found no impurities within—truly pure water. All the impurities were blocked by the black Spiritual Power!
"Goodness, this black and white Spiritual Power even comes with purification!"
Xiang Beifei was increasingly astonished.
He asked the cactus to spray more ink and conducted several experiments. He found that as long as he controlled the black and white Spiritual Power well, he could allow different components of the ink to come through. For example, if he let only the white Spiritual Power attach to the pure water, he could block the pure water outside and let only the corrosive substances rush in.
If used well, this ability could even be applied elsewhere.
For instance, in the face of an opponent, if the opponent brought all kinds of powerful attacks made of Spiritual Power, he would only need to erect a barrier of black and white Spiritual Power in front of him. By filtering through the opponent's Spiritual Power, the attacking part of the force could be blocked, allowing only non-aggressive power to come through, which equated to dismantling the opponent's attack!
With this idea in mind, Xiang Beifei decided to begin trying, this time with the cactus's spine attack!
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Countless finger-long spines hit Xiang Beifei's Spiritual Power and were instantly softened and decomposed. By the time they reached Xiang Beifei, they were just soft, fluffy fibrous scraps.
Afterward, he sought out Erha for experiments.
Erha had been in Skeleton Village for half a year, claiming to research cooking recipes, so it often traveled far and wide with Xiaohei to hunt down desolate beasts for barbecuing. Sometimes they encountered desolate beasts they couldn't beat, and they were always solved invisibly by Xiaohei. They slaughtered quite a number of desolate beasts even in the early Orifice Transforming stage.
Now, by digesting spiritual power crystals, Erha's strength had reached the Orifice Transforming period!
"Erha, come on, let your Spiritual Power hit me," Xiang Beifei was eager to try.
"Ao wu!"
Erha, being naturally active, heard about the fight and immediately wagged its tail joyfully, leaping into mid-air. A strong green Spiritual Power rapidly bombarded towards Xiang Beifei!
This green Spiritual Power was full of vitality but very aggressive, carrying a hint of daftness.
Hum!
Erha's Spiritual Power crashed into Xiang Beifei's Spiritual Power, the black and white Spiritual Power circulated again, separating and lightly attaching itself to Erha's Spiritual Power!
The black Spiritual Power immediately clung to the violent green Spiritual Power, dissolving Erha's Spiritual Power. By the time Erha's aggressive Spiritual Power came through, it was like a pure breeze, brushing against the skin without causing any pain or itchiness!
"Huh? It even filtered out Erha's natural silly demeanor."
Xiang Beifei was very surprised, "Erha, after my treatment, your Spiritual Power has lost its silliness!"
"Ao wu?" Erha didn't quite understand.
"It means your Spiritual Power has become smarter!"
"Ao wu!"
Erha suddenly realized and smugly raised its head, indicating: Of course, I'm not a fool!
Xiaohei snickered with a "woof woof" beside them, this blockhead didn't understand the hidden meaning in Xiang Beifei's words.
"Black and white Spiritual Power, it's actually this profound."
He seemed to vaguely understand why the black and white Spiritual Power was special. In this world, everything has a dual nature – there's evil where there's good, negative where there's positive, and even Erha's attacks were no exception.
The Wooden Kirin's Spiritual Power actually contained an immense vitality, which could encourage plants to grow more vigorously, but when this vitality gathered in excess, it could cause great destructive power, something not even plants could withstand.
And what Xiang Beifei needed to do was to use his own black and white Spiritual Power to differentiate the dual nature of the target, and then selectively filter out one aspect, thereby weakening the target's strength!
"Yin Yang Two Qi, so this is how it should be utilized."
With a thoughtful look, Xiang Beifei pondered if that was the case, then the Heavenly Dao Laws he needed to comprehend upon entering Heavenly Connection might definitely be the way of black and white, Yin and Yang.
He decided to take some time to study it thoroughly.
——
Xiang Beifei continued to cultivate his black and white Spiritual Power under the cactus for hundreds of hours. According to Jiuzhou's time, this amounted to more than ten days.
However, the peculiar thing about this desert was that it hadn't gotten dark even after hundreds of hours. The two suns in the sky looked very diligent, as if they were reluctant to set.
But he didn't mind much, since he was already accustomed to all sorts of strange geographical phenomena in the wilderness beyond the domain. How long the daylight of the Gobi desert lasted didn't really bother him.
While Xiang Beifei was cultivating, Youmong indulged himself by swallowing the overflowing Spiritual Power from Xiang Beifei, without any worry. Erha and Xiaohei were sound asleep. The three of them were always relaxed, and with Xiang Beifei filtering out the heat, sleeping was incredibly comfortable.
The cactus behind him also possessed its own intelligence. It did not dare disturb Xiang Beifei, but nevertheless followed Youmong's lead, swallowing the Spiritual Power that Xiang Beifei emitted. If not differentiated, Xiang Beifei's Spiritual Power was a very profound thing, a tonic for the cactus.
Xiang Beifei knew that the cactus was secretly siphoning his Spiritual Power, but he didn't mind and continued his cultivation. However, soon the sky above the Gobi gradually darkened, and instead of setting in the west, the two suns slowly faded away as if suddenly turning from the bright sun to a red moon!
The light around them gradually disappeared, and twilight finally descended, bringing the Gobi to night.
At that moment, the violent wind that had been blowing through the Gobi suddenly quieted down. All the winds ceased, the sand stopped moving, and the whole world seemed to come to a standstill, deathly silent.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Deep in the desert, suddenly there came the sound of a bell, deep and sonorous, carrying a hint of ancientness, reverberating far and wide.
The sound brought Xiang Beifei out of his meditation. He frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the noise while listening carefully.
"Kill!"
"With our bodies, rebuild the glory of our ancestors!"
...
In the darkness, it seemed as if countless people were screaming and fighting fiercely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground also trembled slightly, and waves of Spiritual Power traveled from afar. The atmosphere of the Gobi suddenly became charged with a sense of impending battle.
"This fluctuation of Spiritual Power, is it human?"
Xiang Beifei was quite surprised!
