Chapter 133 – Demon Day And Night
In Yan Jing city for anyone that is a cultivator, when they tried to absorb spiritual power, they discovered that not only were they unable to absorb any, but instead, an invisible force was extracting the spiritual power within their bodies.
All the martial artists turned pale with fright, and immediately, they took out all kinds of spiritual talismans and magical tools to resist this powerful suction. However this force was much larger than they expected, so other than martial artists at Gold Core stage or higher who were able to form protective barriers, the rest of the martial artists, no matter how powerful a magical item they used, they couldn"t stop the spiritual power dissipating within their bodies.
At this time in Yan Jing city, alleyways that are normally silent as soon as the sun set, were instead in chaos. Even the older generations from large influential families that were in closed door cultivation were alarmed, having come out earlier.
Every major family, including Jin Ling"s royal family, all sent out troops to inquire and investigate the source of why they were unable to use their spiritual power. Unfortunately, since all the martial artists were unable to use their full strength, they naturally couldn"t find the source of this weird phenomenon.
Suddenly, the absorption of spiritual power sped up, and in the sky above Yan Jing city, there appeared a huge white vortex, visible to the naked eye.
The vortex rotated faster and faster, while it"s size grew larger and larger. Hovering above Yan Jing city, it resembled a white sun, lighting up the entire city.
"Heavens, what"s that?"
"Is this vortex absorbing our spiritual power?"
"In the end, what is this?"
All the martial artists in Yan Jing city rushed outside to look at the glaring white vortex.
Suddenly, someone shouted out, "Demon day and night has arrived…this is the beginning of the demon day and night!!"
Once these words were said, all the martial artists burst out in a huge uproar, horror expressed on everyone"s faces.
Demon day and night, could this really be the world"s biggest calamity—demon day and night? Doesn"t that mean, the big calamity will soon descend upon Mi Luo continent?
In the distance, a man with the appearance of an evildoer, with long and narrow phoenix eyes, was at this moment standing on the summit of a mountain. Looking at the white light in the distant east that was just like a scorching sun, the corner of his mouth raised into a brilliant smile, "After waiting for so long, finally…has it finally appeared?"
At this point, in the centre of the vortex, Hexi wasn"t the slightest bit aware that she had caused something strange.
Currently unconscious, her originally dried up and empty dantian, was little by little being filled. The meridians throughout her body were being nourished by the pure essence of spiritual power, and after circulating around her body twelve times, it then returned to her dantian.
The last seal that remained on her dantian had now been destroyed, eroding away with the pure spiritual power, causing Hexi"s cultivation base to rapidly increase in stages.
Early stage of Qi Refining, middle stage of Qi Refining, peak of Qi Refining…Nangong Yu slightly raised an eyebrow as he watched the cultivation base of the girl in his arms rising. Slowly it broke through to the Qi Refining stage, and from the Qi Refining stage, in a flash it rose to the advanced rank of the Foundation Establishment stage. Yet despite this, the growth of her cultivation base still didn"t stop.
Such a frightening advancing speed, if other martial artists were to see it they would certainly be scared to the point that their eyes would fall from their sockets.
Nangong Yu bowed his head, kissing the girl"s warm and soft, rose petal lips. So although the blood within his body had begun to freeze, causing his body to tremble in pain, while his skin is pale and transparent, seeming as if it will crack at any time, his lips still formed a gentle and soft smile.
At the same time, Hexi"s s.p.a.ce was also undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Chapter 134 – High Rank Foundation Establishment Stage
The bottom of the Ninth Secluded Spirit Spring boiled, a vortex hovered above Ancient Rhyme Spiritual Field, and a click could be heard from every door in Xumi Palace.
And inside Xumi Palace, inside one of the empty rooms, the constantly leaping light within the huge egg suddenly froze. Cracks now started to appear across its formerly smooth surface, as if something was about to break out of it…
Warm suns.h.i.+ne shone in from outside, illuminating Hexi"s body. The speck of golden light flickered across her beautiful and delicate face, resembling a naughty spirit, causing her to wake.
With her long eyelashes slightly trembling, Hexi frowned as she slowly opened her eyes. Just as she was about to move her body, she suddenly released a pained groan.
Her whole body felt like it had been crushed by elephants running over it. The ache was unbearable, especially the meridians within her body, they felt like they had been pulled by something. Even moving one finger was painful.
Hexi took a deep breath, wanting to soothe her body by running her internal energy through it, yet unexpectedly, her dantian slightly responded as well. There was the pure essence of spiritual power overflowing from her dantian, and in a flash, it spread to the meridians throughout her body.
Under the nourishment from the spiritual power circulating, the pain in her meridians slowly soothed, gradually helping her limbs to become more flexible. The feeling resembled a whole body ma.s.sage, and Hexi couldn"t help but sigh due to the comfortableness of it.
Suddenly, her expression changed and she abruptly sat up.
With the spiritual power in her dantian working, and using the awareness of Divine Sense[1] to be able to see clearly, she could watch the spiritual power slowly wandering about in her meridians. When the spiritual power reached the meridian running to her hand, Hexi"s mind focused, and in the next moment, a multicoloured ball of light formed on her palm.
Shocked, she lost her focus, and the multicoloured ball of light instantly disappeared.
This…how could this be? Her dantian is unsealed?
Moreover, the spiritual power within her dantian had raised her cultivation base to at least ninth rank of the Foundation Establishment stage?
Her memories from before she lost consciousness slowly overflowed, and she remembered that she was being chased by several Meridians stage a.s.sa.s.sins who wanted to kill her, so she had fled into Cang Mountain. Although she had tried every method to deal with them, even managing to kill two of them, in the end, there was still a gap in their strength and her"s, and the enemy had stabbed her through the chest and abdomen with a sword.
Yet now her body wasn"t injured, while her skin was even more exquisite and translucent than before. Even the white whip scars marring her skin had completely disappeared.
So is she really completely awake? Furthermore, in such a short while she had managed to jump over the Qi Refining stage, landing on a high rank of the Foundation Establishment stage?
Hexi"s heart filled with joy. After transmigrating her strength had been too weak, and she had had no way to advance as her dantian was sealed, so all along she was anxious. The majestic Bai Wuchang[2], the organisation"s youngest gold medal killer since the beginning of history, had unexpectedly fallen to the point of being called trash in a different world?
Now that she had finally broken her shackles, and advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short while, how could she not be happy? One must know that apart from here; the prodigy filled h.e.l.l King Manor, that throughout all of Yan Jing city there is only a few Meridians stage martial artists. While it was possible to count the amount of Gold Core stage martial artists with only ten fingers.
In her memories, Nalan Feixue was called a talented martial artist because it had only taken her two years to reach the early stages of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Hexi laughed lightly, she couldn"t help but spread her palm out once again, and very soon, another multicoloured ball of light filled with spiritual power appeared on her palm.
Focusing her mind, she subtly controlled the spiritual power, and without much effort that multicoloured ball of light turned red, representing the fire element.
Hexi"s eyes shone, and the red coloured ball of spiritual power soon became blue, representing the water element.
