Chapter 522 - 520: Breaking Through to Yellow Dao Four Stars
Chen Tianlong watched the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rapidly flowing into his body, and was overjoyed. Feeling a sense of fulfillment that he had never experienced before, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was continuous and quickly became dense. This feeling was truly comforting.
Just as Chen Tianlong was feeling delighted, suddenly, a wave of scorching Powerful Qi inside his body began to churn.
"What’s going on?"
Chen Tianlong was greatly taken aback, thinking something had gone wrong, he hurriedly said to Yue Xiaoyao, who was meditating and cultivating, "Old man, I suddenly feel there’s a fire burning inside me, it’s so uncomfortable, is it demonic possession?"
"A fire? Haha, that’s just right; keep going."
Yue Xiaoyao’s response was very ambiguous and profoundly mysterious, leaving Chen Tianlong somewhat speechless. But thinking back, since this old man saved him, there was no reason to harm him, so he might as well trust it.
Chen Tianlong began to calm his mind and continued running the Heart Method Mantra at high speed. At this moment, one could see the rapidly converging Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Mysterious Space continuously circling Chen Tianlong’s body, forming an elliptical air sac like the Earth Emperor, tightly surrounding Chen Tianlong’s entire body.
These gases were originally invisible, but during rapid operation, they slowly produced a vapor-like mist, which was formed from the sweat in Chen Tianlong’s body.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong felt so hot because the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside him was burning rapidly, then filling his Dantian.
Soon, the flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi became larger and faster, gradually reaching a peak speed.
Chen Tianlong felt extremely uncomfortable, but he knew that before every breakthrough, it was always so uncomfortable. Without the strong willpower of a cultivator, one might not persevere and end up giving up halfway.
Bean-sized beads of sweat once again slid from Chen Tianlong’s flushed cheeks, dripping onto the floor of the Mysterious Space.
Suddenly, with a muffled "boom", Chen Tianlong finally broke through, reaching Yellow Dao four stars.
"Haha, I’ve made a breakthrough, old man, I’ve made a breakthrough!" Chen Tianlong shouted excitedly.
"Oh, congratulations!"
Yue Xiaoyao’s expression remained indifferent, feeling it was normal, nothing worth being excited about. However, after thinking for a while, he still threw out a sentence, "Don’t be too happy too early."
"Huh? Why?"
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, not understanding what Yue Xiaoyao meant.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong found that his body started absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi again, suddenly shocking him. He thought, "What’s going on, didn’t I just successfully break through? Why is there still continuous absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?"
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong became a little anxious.
He didn’t know how to handle this situation, after all, he had never encountered such a situation before and thought something was wrong with his body.
"Old man, I feel like my body is a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, what should I do?" Chen Tianlong asked anxiously, drenched in sweat, not even bothering to wipe it off.
"Have a salad!"
Yue Xiaoyao said impatiently, "Didn’t I tell you to continue? You’re too eager for success, be calm; you just broke through but haven’t completed the entire upgrade process."
"..." Chen Tianlong was stunned, indeed, earlier, no one said the upgrade was complete; it was just him being too excited, stopping the Cultivation Technique right after the upgrade.
So he immediately sat down again, then operated the Heart Method Mantra, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi still continuously surged into Chen Tianlong’s body.
At this point, he realized that during the breakthrough earlier, all the Powerful Qi inside his body was consumed by that explosion, now upgraded, there wasn’t enough Powerful Qi supply internally, which led to this phenomenon of desperately absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
"Phew..."
After the situation stabilized, Chen Tianlong exhaled deeply again.
Today, he had been scared several times; if it continued, Chen Tianlong estimated he might develop heart disease.
About ten minutes later, Chen Tianlong’s state had stabilized. Suddenly, a sound of anxious footsteps came from not far away, Chen Tianlong quickly awoke from the Mysterious Space and looked towards the entrance of the mountain.
He saw Old Chen holding a torch, followed by a tall girl.
"Chen Tianlong, where are you?" Shen Yan called worriedly, "I brought Old Chen over, where’s that pig?"
"Don’t shout; he’s just fine over there, I knew it, this kid is made of iron, couldn’t possibly have any issues," Chen Tian said calmly, as if he had long foreseen that Chen Tianlong wouldn’t have any problems.
"Huh? Really, Chen Tianlong is over there."
Shen Yan was overjoyed and quickly ran over, discovering Chen Tianlong was quietly meditating, thinking he was healing.
"Shen Yan, you’re here." Chen Tianlong suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
"Ah!"
Shen Yan was startled by Chen Tianlong’s sudden action, after regaining composure, she pouted and complained, "You wicked Chen Tianlong, trying to scare me!"
"Haha, wasn’t trying to tease you." Chen Tianlong grinned and said.
"..." Shen Yan was speechless for a moment, but suddenly thought of something, and then said, "By the way, Chen Tianlong, what about the... Lightning Pig?"
"Oh, it went to play over there."
Chen Tianlong glanced sideways, Shen Yan looked in the direction Chen Tianlong pointed, through the torchlight, she saw a little white pig, faintly appearing in front of her eyes.
"Oh!"
Shen Yan couldn’t believe her eyes because the Lightning Pig she saw was exactly like those little pets.
The previously fierce-looking Lightning Pig was gone, replaced by a gentle and cute little white pig, "You, you are the Lightning Pig?"
Seeing such a little white pig, Shen Yan surely wouldn’t be afraid and directly walked over, crouching down to ask.
"Chirp chirp!"
The sound the Lightning Pig made was completely unlike its appearance; it was a particularly cute sound, immediately making Shen Yan, who had always been disgusted by pigs, drop her guard, and she tapped the Lightning Pig’s ears several times.
"Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!"
The Lightning Pig felt a warmth from being touched by a gentle hand.
It might be the attraction of opposites, seeing a great beauty squatting in front of it like that, it quickly got up and walked beside Shen Yan, then gently grabbed her small instep with its front hoof.
"Ah!"
Shen Yan was initially frightened, but the next moment, seeing its sincere eyes, she was instantly melted.
So she extended her hands, and the Lightning Pig knew the opportunity was here, directly climbed up, then nestled in Shen Yan’s embrace: "Haha, quite cute, isn’t it."
Clearly, she had already let go of her guard against the Lightning Pig and began to slowly get used to this little pet.
"Shen Yan, this guy has already recognized me as its master, otherwise I would give you this Lightning Pig." Chen Tianlong said indifferently.
"What? Recognized you as its master? Wasn’t it trying to eat you just now?" Shen Yan was a bit surprised, how could the situation have reversed so drastically in such a short time, what’s going on.
"It’s like this... After you left, I explored a bit myself, unleashed a big move, and then subdued it, right? Lightning Pig." As Chen Tianlong said this, he purposely winked at the Lightning Pig, signaling it to cooperate.
