####################
The next day early in the morning, Duan Li took a walk around his residence court. He saw Shen Murong cultivating atop a boulder below the waterfall, and it seemed that his cultivation level had rose by a level. He was now at the late stage of the Foundation establishment realm, at level 7.
Walking further ahead, was Shen Lu cultivating by a corridor. In front of him was a large piece of paper with the map of the human meridian channels and pathways. It appears that he was still trying to comprehend Duan Li"s Qi efficiency breathing method.
Arriving at the garden, Duan Li saw Xiahou Yu cultivating with a graceful temperament. All the flowers by the side swayed gently around her.
"This is... a unique cultivation method? And it seems that she has already managed to comprehend the lesson from last night and integrate it with this technique. Definitely a genius!" Duan Li said to himself as he nodded.
This must be a clan secret breathing technique!
When Duan Li observed her Qi fluctuations, he was shocked even further.
"S-She is already at the 7th level of the Qi condensation realm? Fast!"
He then pa.s.sed by the pond that was combined with a larger lake. All types of fish swam here merrily, and Duan Li planned to cook some for later as they were nutritious to the body of a cultivator.
If a commoner were to eat it though, they would become a poison for them instead and has a high chance to die upon consume.
On the middle of this lake was a gazebo, at which w.a.n.g Xiolun was currently cultivating in peace. Strands of spiritual Qi were vividly visible spiralling around him.
Furthermore, the latter"s aura had gotten more condensed than before. Judging by the Qi fluctuations, w.a.n.g Xiolun had rose to the 3rd level of the Core formation realm and was just half a step from reaching the middle stage.
"Everyone"s cultivating really hard! I"m still only at the level 4 of the Foundation establishment realm... I shouldn"t lag behind them as their Lord." thought Duan Li as he entered a small cl.u.s.ter of forest within his residence court.
This forest was protected by numerous runic inscriptions and arrays that prevented anyone from entering except the owner, which was Duan Li himself.
This was kind of like a special place for the Lord as the surrounding spiritual Qi was at least ten times thicker than outside!
The reason for this was because of the trees were special - Angaran trees. From Duan Li"s identify ability, these Angaran trees were at least 500 years old each. They act as a nurturing mechanism for spiritual Qi and hence, was why this area has such a thick spiritual Qi!
In addition, Spiritual Qi can enter this forest, but none can get out. Thus, the saturation level was extremely high and caused the place to hum in blue hues.
Finding a spot on the middle of this forest, Duan Li sat down cross-legged as he closed his eyes.
Shiingg!!
The All-Seeing eye activated as he ran a thorough diagnosis of his internal body state.
"Hmm.. to think that my internal body has changed these much after tempering myself in the blood lake.." said Duan, a little bit surprised.
From his sonar Qi, which was the skill art used by those who practiced the art of medicine to run a full body diagnosis, he found out a lot of minute-details transformation that would not be possible for everyone else.
The blood vessels within his body had expanded and became much more thicker. Every single one of his muscle fibers were also coiling with each other like tight ropes. Thus, it made him looked a little bit leaner, but had actually increased the density of his body as a whole!
Previously, his body weight was around 80 kilograms. But now, he was way over 150 kilograms!
Not only that, to his surprise, there were new meridian channels and pathways forming together, originating from his second dantian located at the middle section. They bridged across gaps that significantly shortened the distance to another.
This would allow his Qi efficiency to be even far more formidable than before. If previously he was able to breath in once to refill his spiritual Qi, now he could do the same with just half a breath!
"If my third dantian within my brain could also develop another meridian channels and pathways... then even without breathing, my spiritual Qi would always remain at the maximum level! In other words, it would just absorb Qi pa.s.sively at all times!"
As long as the spiritual Qi within an area was not limited though!
Suppressing his excitement, he swiftly made a few more changes to his cultivation method. Right now, if he were to write this method into a book, no one would be able to understand it as it involves meridian channels and pathways that does not exist for others.
This meant that, he had subconsciously created a whole new cultivation technique that was unique to only himself!
"En! This should be fine! Time to cultivate!" he said as he started to breath in spiritual Qi and drove it around his body according to the new method that he just created.
Woongg!
It works!
...
"Hmm?"
At this moment, all four followers of Duan Li that had been cultivating silently opened their eyes abruptly as they suddenly detected an anomaly with their surrounding spiritual Qi.
"This... the spiritual Qi is suddenly getting thinner!" Shen Murong frowned, alerted as he bolted straight into the skies.
He could see Shen Lu and w.a.n.g Xiolun up above, even Xiahou Yu was there.
"Eh? She has already rose to the late stage of the Qi condensation realm and could fly now? That"s quite fast.." he said but soon shook his head.
The most important thing right now was to find out just what was going on.
"Shen Murong, you"re finally here!" Shen Lu called out.
"Yeah, just what happened? I was cultivating when suddenly I felt the spiritual Qi around me to become thinner!" replied Shen Murong.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Xiolun pointed out to a location from the distance.
"Look over there, all the spiritual Qi from the surrounding was being sucked into and gathered inside that location. The Angaran forest, where only the Lord could enter. Since the Lord is not here, this meant that he is currently inside there." w.a.n.g Xiolun spoke out.
Shen Lu and Xiahou Yu nodded as they realized this too.
"You meant to say that this phenomena was caused by Duan Li? What is he doing for all these spiritual Qi to gather like that?" Shen Murong cupped his chin.
w.a.n.g Xiolun shook his head, he too does not know what their Lord was up to.
Psheww!
Psheww!
Suddenly, four figures wearing black robes with face covered in black mask appeared on the four corners of Duan Li"s residence.
Flicking their fingers together rapidly, a series of complex incantation gestures was made, before the whole area within Duan Li"s residence court was sealed with a barrier.
Seeing this, the four of them narrowed their eyes as their battle instinct exploded!
"This! An attack? Who are they?!" exclaimed Shen Murong as he quickly bursted forth with his full might from the get-go. Even his bloodline power was activated as his aura radically transformed into that of dark crimson and black veins popped out all over his body, his dragon horn immediatedly jutted out from the both of his temples!
Even Shen Lu and Xiahou Yu had also released the full extent of their powers, with w.a.n.g Xiolun being the most tyrannical of them all!
w.a.n.g Xiolun"s aura had climbed to its peak, his Qi fluctuations was so intense that the air around him rippled out!
Its not that they were trying to show off their battle prowess, it was just that the four figures that had abruptly appeared and locked the whole place down, was already people beyond their capabilities to handle.
Nascent Soul realm experts!
"Hmm? To think that the four of you had become this strong in just a single day? Interesting!" a voice echoed out.
When the four of them heard this voice, all of them creased their brows together as they looked at each other.
This voice sounds familiar?
But before they could think deeper, their hairs immediately stood on end as they sensed danger!
BOOM!
A palm attack suddenly came out of nowhere as they head straight towards them. This palm attack was spectral in nature, but the might behind it was so immense that they immediately sweat from the pressure!
An attack from a Nascent Soul realm expert!
"Block against it together!" Shen Lu roared out as they deployed a mult.i.tude of skill arts to stop the palm attack.
BOOMM!
The palm attack clashed with their combined a.s.sault as it created a deafening booms to the surrounding area!
However, the palm attack was only stopped in its tracks for a short while and then slowly began to push against them slowly, inch by inch!
They gritted their teeths together and blood began to drip from their nose as they put more pressure into their attacks.
Push!!
There was a saying, in front of a Nascent Soul realm expert, all were just ants!
The voice chuckled out as the palm attack suddenly disappeared.
Just as they were about to breath in relief for a moment, another palm attack was made. But this time, it headed not towards them, but towards the Angaran forest - where Duan Li was currently located.
BOOM!
Seeing this palm attack, the four of them paled as it appears that the attacker had put a little bit more effort into this strike!
But at this moment, one of them was suddenly enraged like a caged wild beast that was being let out.
"YOU"D DARE?!" w.a.n.g Xiolun shouted out as he bolted straight in front of that palm attack and tried to stop it with his bare hands.
BOOMM!!
"Urgghh!"
w.a.n.g Xiolun immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood after coming into contact with the palm attack directly, but pushed against that palm attack nevertheless.
"Hmm? This one is pretty good!" the voice said to himself.
The three that had lagged behind due to being scared momentarily by the strength of that second palm attack, broke out from their dazed state as they bolted forward to help w.a.n.g Xiolun defend against it!
"YOU DARE TO SNEAK ATTACK AT OUR LORD?! IMBECILE!!!" w.a.n.g Xiolun shouted out again as more of his aura bursted forth torrentially like a broken dam.
He was thoroughly enraged right now.
The moment Duan Li had successfully resolved his affliction, effectively breaking him free from the curse, he has made his vow to lay down his life for the other party, and would fight against his enemies to the death!
Crack!
That second palm attack was now showing signs of cracking slightly, but immediately recovered after that.
The unknown voice then chuckled out once more again as it suddenly withdrew that palm attack.
Right now, the four of them was fully alert and their backs facing at each other, covering their blind spots.
"Relax, I am not your enemy."
Woongg!
A figure appeared suddenly and floated in the air with his hands clasped behind his back, radiating out the disposition of an expert.
When the four of them turned to face this unknown a.s.sailant, they immediately became stupefied!
It"s actually the Princ.i.p.al of the academy, Bian Tianyu!
"Hais! That brat really knows how to create a trouble for me!" he spoke out.
