Chapter 12 - Descent of the HeavensThe secret of the Art of Creation was like a bright torch on a cold night. It abruptly thawed a corner of Xiang Yun"s frozen heart, making it hard for him to suppress the excitement in his heart.
For a time, Xiang Yun"s mind trembled. At the same time, the blue energy surrounding him began to turn illusory!
"This is bad!"
Xiang Yun knew that if he lost control of his mind, the Yun Li he would sense would retreat from his senses. He hurriedly adjusted his state of mind, suppressing the excitement in his heart, calming his heart down as much as possible.
As expected, as Xiang Yun adjusted his body and mind, the blue colored cloud energy that he had sensed in the surrounding s.p.a.ce became visible once more!
Seeing this scene, Xiang Yun was slightly overjoyed. He immediately said to himself, "Since I"ve already sensed Yun Li"s power, then let me absorb the energy of this world. Let me see just what secrets this incredibly powerful Yun Li has!"
At this moment …Xiang Yun continued to practice the Art of Creation and used his consciousness to control Yun Li, drawing him closer and closer to himself!
Following the control of Xiang Yun"s consciousness, the cloud energy around him actually seemed to be pulled towards him, slowly entering his body!
At this moment, it was as if Xiang Yun had gained a special perspective. He had personally witnessed the cloud energy enter his body, penetrating his skin, his flesh, his bones and muscles as it floated towards his dantian!
Everywhere he went, Yun Li felt a warm feeling spread through his body. It was like a warm current was flowing through his body.
Xiang Yun saw that the sliver of cloud energy was already close to his dantian, and his heart couldn"t help but grow excited once more.
The Dantian is Ren Mai Guan Yuan Acupoint, three inches below the navel, where the essence is hidden, the foundation of human life, the gateway of yin and yang, and the essence of five energies. There was a true G.o.d Chi Zi living inside, hence he called his dantian as his mingmen!
To put it bluntly, the dantian is the foundation of all cultivators, and all of the cloud energy that cultivators absorb from the outside world is stored inside the dantian. The strength of a cultivator"s cultivation level is related to the amount and quality of the cloud energy inside the dantian.
The difference between "there" and "there" might seem to be no difference, but in reality, it was like the sky and the earth. The difference between "there" and "there" was like the difference between the sky and the earth; only by stepping on the path of a cultivator would one be able to change everything, otherwise one would forever be an ant on the ground, never able to look down on all living things on the earth!
At this moment, Xiang Yun was like an ant looking at the vast gates of a cultivator. Borrowing the weak perception, he slowly guided Yun Li towards his dantian.
As long as this tiny bit of cloud energy was infused into his dantian, even if it was only a tiny bit, he would still officially step into the ranks of cultivators and become a Cloud Martial Disciple!
"Heavens, you must bless my success!"
At this moment, Xiang Yun was already praying silently in his heart. His heart was trembling slightly, like a pauper who had suddenly seen a windfall from the heavens falling upon him, afraid that the money would not hit him!Along with Xiang Yun"s prayers, that sliver of cloud power finally arrived at Xiang Yun"s dantian. Xiang Yun was almost ready to jump and cheer, but what happened next was beyond his expectations.
Because, just when he thought that the strand of cloud energy would obediently stop flowing into his Dantian, becoming his power, he didn"t expect that the strand of cloud energy would actually pa.s.s by like a swallow pa.s.sing through an unremarkable alley, and the horse stepped over a piece of low, withered yellow gra.s.s …
That strand of cloud energy actually did not linger or slow down in the slightest. Just like that, under Xiang Yun"s nearly lifeless gaze, it pa.s.sed through his dantian before going through Xiang Yun"s body, treating his body like air!
"What"s going on?"
For a time, Xiang Yun"s heart could be said to be in turmoil. There was disappointment, doubt, and anger!
"d.a.m.n, why didn"t this cloud energy gather in my dantian?"
Xiang Yun roared in his heart. Just now, that strand of cloud energy had pa.s.sed through his body, causing him to feel a sense of humiliation. It was as if he had been looked down upon by that strand of cloud energy!
In terms of appearance, it was like a man trying his best to express his admiration for a woman by putting on the brightest smile and the most gentlemanly gesture he could think of.The woman laughed disdainfully. She didn"t even say a word. She didn"t even look at the painstaking man and just left!
At this moment, Xiang Yun"s mood was definitely worse than this man"s. He didn"t understand how Yun Li, who was only a tiny strand of energy in this world, could be so dismissive of him as if he were a pair of shoes.
Actually, Xiang Yun already had an answer in his heart. It was just that he did not want to destroy the hope that had been ignited, which was why he had purposefully ignored it. Seeing this result, his heart, which had just turned scorching hot, once again turned icy cold.
"I know that I am a trash without spiritual roots. I just want to be a prince and live a life of luxury. Why am I still dreaming of being able to cultivate? Isn"t this just asking for trouble?"
Xiang Yun mumbled to himself bitterly, disappointment and sorrow only he himself knew.
"Hmph, it"s not like I can"t cultivate, so it"s not that big of a deal. After all, with this prince"s status, even if I don"t cultivate, who would dare be disrespectful to me?"
Xiang Yun consoled himself with the reason that he had been used to seeing the hedonistic heir for the past ten or so years. Of course, most of these youths still buried their emotions deep within their hearts, their hearts close to despair!
Even a mysterious cultivation technique like the Karmic Creation Art was unable to prevent him from cultivating it. It seemed that the heavens had truly decided to insulate Xiang Yun from cultivating!
Just as the youth"s heart had turned completely cold and he no longer continued to circulate the Art of Creation, Xiang Yun randomly lowered his head and discovered a mysterious phenomenon. His body suddenly began to turn illusory!
At the same time, the slight disturbance in his mind did not disappear even though he had stopped circulating the skill!
"What"s going on?" Xiang Yun"s heart was filled with shock and doubt.What he did not know was that right now, on top of the huge "ball of fire" that was originally suspended in the sky and illuminated the earth, a faint ray of light that was as thin as a thread suddenly jumped up, and left the restraints of the huge sun"s gravitational force, shooting towards the earth!
Compared to the gigantic rising sun, the beam of light seemed to have traveled through endless s.p.a.ce and instantly arrived at this vast expanse of land. It immediately turned into a world-shaking magnificent scene, as if a comet had descended from the sky and whizzed into the earth!
The light beam charged into the Seven Stars Continent, located in the southern part of the Phecda region where the throat was. Within the borders of the thirteen empires of the Wind Cloud Country, inside Qin Feng City and the crown prince"s mansion that were near the northwest border and adjacent to the Moon Shadow Forest, Xiang Yun was currently in a room!
Although the power of this beam of light was frightening, its speed was even more astonishing. It was like the light of dawn, arriving in an instant and then disappearing in an instant, even faster than that light. Ordinary people didn"t even have the time to blink before they disappeared.
Only in the residence of the City Lord of Qin Feng City did a middle-aged scholar, who was dressed in green clothes and holding onto a piece of paper with ink in his hand, sit upright in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. In that instant, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the dark blue sky beneath the pavilion with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
"Could it be that I"m seeing things?" The middle-aged man mumbled to himself, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I guess I must have been injured by the Crown Prince"s recent actions. My eyes must be blurry!"However, this shocking scene wasn"t something that everyone hadn"t noticed.
At this moment, at the southeastern border of the thirteen countries" map, in a giant curtain of light that connected the sky and the earth, there was a tower that reached the heavens. On top of the tower sat a graceful woman.Although the latter wore a black cloak to cover her figure, it was still unable to cover the rise and fall of the latter"s body, as well as her soul-stirring alluring arc.
However, what was even more attractive was not the well-developed figure of the woman, but the majestic mountain range that was naturally emitted from the woman"s body. An aura akin to the deep abyss and the ocean, which caused one to feel insignificant looking at it.
The woman"s body, which was originally seated cross-legged, trembled slightly when the brilliant light that descended from the sky. Soon after, she opened her sparkling, crystal-like, pale-blue eyes in the darkness.
That pair of eyes had an unconcealable tinge of shock in them as they stared at the sky outside the paG.o.da before turning to look at the direction of the State of Feng Yun of the Thirteen Nations.
"G.o.d Descends from Heaven, don"t tell me a cultivator has stepped into the Sheng Domain?" "He actually activated the Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant!"
"No, with the luck and cloud power of the Wind Cloud Country, it"s impossible for them to give birth to a Saint level expert. Could it be that a Heavenly Treasure is about to be born from the Wind Cloud Country?"
When she thought of this, a worry that was difficult to hide suddenly appeared in the woman"s originally shocked eyes.
"If the G.o.d Descends had summoned the Wind Cloud Nation, no matter what the circ.u.mstances are, it might not be a good thing for the Northwest Road! "It seems like I have to think of a plan in advance!"
At the same time, all the top powers in the entire Phecda Continent, whether it was the hidden mansion in the remote mountains, or the beautiful mountains and rivers, or the Immortal Blessed Land with an aura of immortality.
At this moment, those ancestor masters and sects who were cultivating behind closed doors were like stingers awakened by the spring thunder, waking up from their slumber!Subsequently, on the Profound Sky Continent, countless divine intents rose from the ground, as if tens of thousands of tentacles of varying thickness covered the sky in the blink of an eye, forming a huge net that covered the entire sky above the Phecda Continent!
"What happened just now? If I"m not mistaken, there must be a divine summons from the heavens to the northwest of the continent!" Amongst these thousands of telepathic thoughts, one of them was rather strong and sent out a stream of consciousness, which seemed to be able to pierce through the clouds.
"Hehe, I never would have thought that the famous head of the Hidden Tiger Sect would also come. It seems like you still like to join in on the fun?"
At this moment, another powerful divine will that was not any weaker than this one transmitted a sneer.
Hehe, your Blood Blade Sect"s Sect Leader, didn"t he say that he had already closed the Gate of Life and Death a hundred years ago? "Hehe, your Sect Leader, didn"t he say that he had closed the Gate of Death a hundred years ago."You!" When the leader of the Blood Blade Sect heard this, he was slightly angered. However, he immediately sneered: "Whether or not you can increase your strength is not something that can be displayed just by using your mouth. If you are interested, then our Blood Blade Sect will come to your Sect to pay our respects in the future."
"Humph, Old Ghost Blood Blade, I don"t have time to waste with you. A vile person like you, who reeks of blood, wants to be infected by the G.o.d"s Summoning. What an idiot"s dream!" The leader of the Hidden Tiger Sect sneered.
"Humph, old ghost Yu, don"t be so arrogant, you say I"m an evil man with a body full of blood, don"t you think you"re a righteous saint, don"t think that I don"t know, your Hidden Tiger Sect is normally arrogant, but behind the scenes, it"s still doing all those disgraceful things!"
"Old man Blood Blade, you dare to slander us!"
"Humph! You have a guilty conscience!"
The two grandmasters conversed with their telepathic thoughts in the sky as they started cursing at each other. The powerful telepathic thoughts of the two pillars were about to collide!
"You two, don"t argue!"Just when the Blood Blade Sect"s Sect Leader and the Hidden Tiger Sect"s Sect Leader"s argument became intense, suddenly in the sky, a strand of spiritual will was like a sapling that rose from the ground. In the blink of an eye, it turned into …
A huge tree that blotted out the sun covered the sky and blocked all the divine senses on the ground. A vast aura immediately a.s.saulted them, causing all the experts to subconsciously avoid it.
Even the Sect Leader of the Blood Blade Sect and the leader of the Hidden Tiger Sect stopped their argument when they sensed this divine intent. Everyone"s attention was attracted by this powerful divine intent!
"Hiss Sky Illumination Sect"s Great Elder, Duan Tian!" It was unknown who let out an exclamation, causing the spiritual will in the entire sky to fluctuate like a tidal wave swept by a strong wind, rolling and surging until it was difficult to calm down!
