The Rebirth of Bai Qi: The Way of Qi

Amidst Situ Yan's singing, Han Xin and Han Fu's tacit understanding, and Wu Qing's swaying figure, Bai Qi surveyed the surroundings, taking in the boundless expanse of cloudless sky.

At this moment, he felt as if he were in a perilous situation, yet he also felt as if he were shrouded in an invisible shield. He felt the air around him becoming increasingly stagnant, and an unknown energy was accumulating in his chest, waiting to erupt.

Bai Qi took a deep breath, looked at Han Xin and the others, pressed his hand to his chest to condense his thoughts into a clear stream, and suppressed the faint, uneasy fluctuations of demonic energy within his body.

This power, like fermenting wine, surged within him, as if waiting for the right moment to burst through his heart.

"Everyone, the tribulation lightning has not yet passed, and I need to make further adjustments. Please stand at a distance for now and protect your surroundings!"

Han Fu, Han Xin, Situ Yan, and Wu Qing all nodded in understanding and dispersed, surrounding Bai Qi in the center.

At this moment, their spirits were united, and they truly supported each other, gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of Bai Qi.

Suddenly, a thunderclap shook the heavens and the earth, as if a blue dragon was roaring in the clouds. Bai Qi was startled at this moment, and the demonic energy in his body was triggered instinctively, and the demonic energy like a snake willow spread wildly.

This force was powerful, yet it did not bring fear; instead, it fueled Bai Qi's unparalleled fighting spirit.

He gathered all his strength once more, seemingly planning a charge against the will of Heaven.

Bai Qi sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, still surrounded by the rumbling thunder. He closed his eyes to feel his surroundings and his inner self, trying to discard all external things and detach his soul from that increasingly apparent spiritual connection.

A moment later, Bai Qi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze no longer hazy, but filled with a tenacious and unwavering determination.

In that instant of shock, he felt a powerful, shimmering white light erupt from within him, intertwined with traces of lightning.

Bai Qi knew that this was his inner demon stirring.

"Do not be deluded by the mind; let all things change as they may, but never forget your original intention; though this is extinguished, the path to enlightenment is complete."

Bai Qi muttered incessantly, and Jiao Bai suddenly rose up with a swift movement, like a dragon soaring through the sky.

At this moment, the might of Heaven pressed down on Bai Qi. He felt a violent tremor from the depths of his soul, as if he were to abandon all desires in this life and cast his mind into the bottomless abyss.

Just then, an unfamiliar voice, as if whispering, came from the deepest part of Bai Qi's consciousness.

"Accept it, let it guide you, it will lead you to a place where no one dares to set foot."

Bai Qi realized that this was the voice of his inner demons, a temptation to the endless abyss reaching deep into his heart.

With no other options in his moment of crisis, he deftly clenched his hands, instantly conjuring up a misty demonic aura that enveloped him.

The demonic energy, like a protective shadow, enveloped him, blocking the lightning's attack.

"How can I know that this place, where no one dares to tread, is not my final destination?" Bai Qi's mind was firm, and he had no more doubts.

"I would rather die than surrender, and never fall into the abyss! My path shall never be abandoned!"

At this moment, the world suddenly lost its color. High above the clouds, the lightning, flowing like a river, suddenly converged, forming a huge vortex above Bai Qi's head, like a ferocious maw, about to devour him.

Bai Qi remained unmoved, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead, but he showed no fear and did not retreat even a step.

The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly. Han Fu and Situ Yan witnessed this scene and, though they wanted to offer their support, they were forced to stagger back by the intense electric light around them, making it difficult for them to get close.

The friction of the surrounding air produced a piercing sound, and the thunder roared like bells.

Situ Yan couldn't help but hum softly, trying to clear her mind with a melody, hoping it would offer some support.

Han Xin gripped the ancient jade at his waist tightly, silently praying that his family would protect Bai Qi and ensure his safe escape.

Wu Qing's bursting forth true yang energy was like the blazing sun and the brilliant shooting star, forming an immortal aura around Bai Qi, protecting Bai Qi's body and mind.

The surrounding scenery was twisted and contorted by a mixture of demonic energy and lightning strikes.

Just as Bai Qi's demonic energy surged and he was confronting the sudden baleful aura from the lightning, a strange image appeared in the sky.

The image initially faded like passing clouds, then shone with brilliance, revealing the calculations within all realms of conflict, encompassing the boundless dangers of heaven and earth.

The image swayed, carrying a sense of solemnity and majesty; it was clearly the manifestation of the spirit of the lightning tribulation.

However, Bai Qi had a realization: this thing was like a divine decree reflected on a jade altar, and once it entered his mind, it could not be remembered for long.

This brief but urgent gathering of monks left Bai with countless doubts.

Lightning and demonic energy intertwined and collided, dazzling the sky as if it were daytime, while Bai Qi endured the mysterious experience of this force pressing down on his body and mind under the naked might of heaven.

He tried his best to shut out the various temptations in his voice, keeping them away from his breath.

Bai Qi's gaze was as intense as a blazing fire; there was nothing else in his eyes but the towering mountains and perilous landscape he was in at this moment.

Although there was no sound, Kong Yong's spirit was already focused and in harmony, and he told him about this medicine.

Suddenly, the shadows of lightning howled incessantly, and the eerie image transformed into particles that scattered outwards from Pipu.

Only after Bai Qi realized the unpredictable situation did he regain his composure and feel the rushing force finally subside.

In that instant, Bai Qi's figure seemed to tilt and become unsteady. Suddenly, no one was there to comfort him. Then, he discovered that a wheel of flames, resembling bronze, was slowly rising, gathering the power of consciousness and leading him from darkness to light.

When he focused his mind on the wheel of flames, the flames suddenly spread outwards from within, creating a fiery red expanse. The dazzling, shimmering flames in his eyes overwhelmed him, leaving him unable to look up in awe.

Without delay, he was moved by a startled belief, and an empty image arose from within, which shocked and moved the heart, gradually outlining the form of the present world.

The next time I saw that shadow was a fake, flowing, unrefined object, melting and burning beyond recognition.

“Rise, to break free from karma, respect myself and the Way, and understand yourself and then tomorrow will come.”

An ancient voice suddenly rang out in the air, as if it came from the distant, silent sound of the cliff edge.

Bai Qi realized that this sound contained an extremely profound principle, something that belonged to the realm of forgiveness.

He calmed himself down, absorbing the demonic energy into his bones and muscles. He then cultivated in the clouds and waters. As the flame wheel rose, his entire consciousness underwent a magnificent awakening. Through this moment of tempering, he extended his thoughts towards an even stronger existence.

At this moment, his eyes revealed a clarity he had never shown before, revealing an openness that was both inward and outward, and making him even more discerning.

Then, bowing without fear, he poured his deep thoughts into the image, and then asked the question that was like the voice of his heart, which was no longer revealed.

Even though Bai Qi was in the middle of the endless lightning, he remained as still as Mount Tai, as if he had entered a state of oblivion.

The inner demons could not penetrate him, and the thunder and lightning did not cease. In the deep of this night, he was unaware of and unspeakable of the meaning of repeated attacks, and his success remained hidden.

Suddenly, the distance cracked and became restless. Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and looked up at the sky, where he saw that within the endless vortex, rays of light were stubbornly struggling and falling down.

Its radiance shines brightly, its power and prestige are undeniable.

The radiance that fell upon the surroundings, reaching the vast expanse and even Bai Qi's side, created a truly wondrous sight.

Bai began to realize that although the light was powerful but did not win people's hearts, it still had ulterior motives.

Bai Qi nodded slightly, knowing this location, he felt at ease and had nothing to fear.

As the map turned, Bai Qi's mind became clear and focused. He then directed his power to completely suppress the demonic energy, slowly allowing his mind to flow freely. He then focused his spiritual energy to the point that it was about to be separated from the demonic energy, thus creating a piece of land free from the thick layer of dust and mud.

After the halo floated away, its extraordinary story was revealed in the sky.

When Bai Qi was awakened, his whole body had just calmed down, and the surrounding area seemed to be filled with the shimmering light of starlight. All the power that was steadily transmitted also gently dissipated.

Bai Qi guarded the place, feeling a force that could not be contained, and then pursued the form of the broken jade tablet, holding it with a satisfied heart, expanding Xianglang.

Upon hearing this, Han Xin, Han Fu, Situ Yan, and Wu Qing, while exchanging glances, expressed a radiant sense of shared purpose and unwavering loyalty.

Bai Qi raised his head and said to them, "The game of numbers is extremely intense. Those who cross the banners can stop, but those who are destined to be reunited and pursue the enemy are the ones who will surely be gathered together."

"And those who travel together will be inspired by the divine, and after observing this, they will finally return in the light." Han Xin's words seem like prayers and congratulations being offered on the banks of the Wanjiang River, climbing up the winding, curving peaks.

Wu Qing looked at the fading light around him and said after a long while, "Those who wish to transform may not follow their intentions for long, but must go on to serve... In truth, Wen Dang's teachings have not been able to be fully completed."

"If the time comes and the silver moves, those who come and go will be welcomed here to deposit their money."

Although there was a hint of sorrow in Situ Yan's words, it was overshadowed by hope, and her brilliance was revealed beneath the surface.

Han Fu's eyes also held a hint of something in them as she took a selfie, implying that she was not yet finished.

Bai Qi smiled and stood there, calming his mind and condensing his sword: "Though this thing is temporarily blocked here, its influence and sound are unique, but the path ahead is far more profound and different."

He looked back at the sky, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart. Before he could express it, he had already put it into practice.

Just then, a cold wind slowly drifted from afar, as if what they had witnessed was not the end of the story, but was filled with an endless sense of anticipation and sighs.
