Chapter 822 - 820: About to Break Through!
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, and when he looked at his lower body, he found that it had become bare, as the explosion just now had burned away all his clothes.
Fortunately, he had thrown his shirt outside and hadn’t brought it in. Such cleverness! Otherwise, he really would be exposed in the open later.
Just as Chen Tianlong was thinking about how to open the mechanism door, he suddenly felt something was wrong. His body began to react, especially in his dantian, where a wave of heat was surging, very uncomfortable.
What’s going on?
After thinking about it for a second, Chen Tianlong calmed down because this feeling was very familiar.
A breakthrough is coming!
Chen Tianlong was overjoyed and hurriedly sat down on the ground, starting to practice the Condensing Power Technique. Unexpectedly, a blessing in disguise occurred; not only did he survive the fire attack, but he’s also about to have a breakthrough.
Life’s greatest surprise is precisely this; great misfortunes may lead to future blessings.
Indeed, a few minutes later, Chen Tianlong discovered that the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was surging towards him, carrying with it a scorching aura. This made Chen Tianlong feel as if his body was being burned, yet without any harm.
Little did he know, the explosion just now had already activated the latent fire attribute constitution within Chen Tianlong. Now, he could feel discomfort but suffered no harm, due to this reason.
After being surprised for a moment, Chen Tianlong realized that this wave of heat was not harming him but was entering his body.
At this moment, the meridians all over Chen Tianlong’s body were swollen and painful, with sweat streaming down his body, and blue veins bulging. Chen Tianlong endured the pain strongly, knowing that each upgrade would be very uncomfortable, but this time was particularly special, not just ordinarily uncomfortable, but accompanied by bursts of burning.
However, Chen Tianlong recalled the words he saw on the stone wall earlier. If he guessed correctly, the reason for this situation was that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was of the fire attribute.
And it was a dense concentration of fire attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
"Damn, I can actually absorb the fire attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for my own use. This is great, haha!" Although Chen Tianlong was in pain, he was also happy through the pain. For a cultivator, nothing is more exciting than an upgrade, to the point that they can even forget all physical pain.
Who knows how long had passed, accompanied by a loud rumble, Chen Tianlong’s body felt as if it had exploded, placing him in extreme anguish.
But.
This pain lasted only for a mere ten seconds or so before Chen Tianlong gritted his teeth and endured it.
Whew!
After taking a deep breath, Chen Tianlong stood up, looked at his bare body, and forced a bitter smile. However, this was fortunate, otherwise, even if he had something on, the recent breakthrough would have still shredded all his clothes.
Is it the Yellow Dao seven stars now?
Chen Tianlong felt an unprecedented emptiness in his body, as if something was missing. The whole person did not feel very comfortable; instead, it felt like all the powerful Qi and strength in his body had vanished.
Just standing for a moment and he could feel particularly weak, desperately wanting to lie down for a good rest.
What is happening?
To verify his strength, Chen Tianlong deliberately activated the Condensing Power Technique and then triggered the first move of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist to check its power.
But after operating the Heart Method, Chen Tianlong found that his body uncontrollably absorbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Oh my!
Is there a problem?
Chen Tianlong was shocked; this was something he had never encountered before. His body was actively absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. It was really strange, like starving for centuries without cultivation, making his body feel extremely thirsty.
Well.
Chen Tianlong simply sat back down, closed his eyes, and continued to operate the Heart Method to absorb.
After about half an hour, Chen Tianlong suddenly discovered that his body was still desperately absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, feeling like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing without getting tired.
Lentil-sized beads of sweat began to appear on Chen Tianlong’s forehead. This scene worried him somewhat. After all, he had never experienced anything like this before and didn’t know if what would happen next was a blessing or a curse.
"Don’t worry, young man; this is a sign of breaking through a tier. Just keep operating and absorbing." Suddenly, a lazy voice came out of nowhere, startling Chen Tianlong so much that he almost went into demonic possession.
"Who... who are you?" Chen Tianlong was vigilant about his surroundings, now having reached a level of multitasking mastery; otherwise, a demonic possession wouldn’t be unlikely now.
That voice appeared around him: "Haha, young man, you really are forgetful. Didn’t I say before, our brainwaves are connected? If you encounter any difficult problems, the brainwaves will naturally convey it to me. I often receive them; however, I generally ignore them unless it’s different like this time. Seeing you so panicked, the old man couldn’t help but come out and tell you."
"You... you are that old man on the top of the back mountain of Nie Family Village?"
Upon hearing about brainwave resonance, Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered that old man. What was his name? Oh right, it seemed to be Yue Xiaoyao.
"Elder Xiaoyao, is it really you? Is my body really like you said?" Chen Tianlong was overjoyed at once; this guy had helped him before, capable of subduing spirit beasts like the Lightning Pig. Presumably, he was a master.
"Indeed, it’s the old man. As for your body, it’s now preparing to breakthrough to the tier, which is the Profound Dao. Just focus and operate the Heart Method, no need to panic," the mysterious old man said faintly: "Alright, that’s all I can say. Don’t ask me anything else; I’ll tell you I still don’t know. Going back to sleep now, bye, young one."
"...".
Chen Tianlong was speechless. Was Elder Xiaoyao always sleeping or busy every day? Why did he always seem to come and go in such a hurry?
Brainwave resonance?
Chen Tianlong mischievously smiled and silently chanted in his heart: "Yue Xiaoyao, come out, come out now!"
"Wow!"
Indeed, both Yue Xiaoyao and he appeared in a mysterious space at the same time, a space surrounded by green mountains, clear waters, blue skies, and white clouds. Yue Xiaoyao was in a pavilion, facing the High Mountain and Flowing Water, quietly meditating.
This was Chen Tianlong’s soul entering Yue Xiaoyao’s training ground.
Upon seeing Chen Tianlong appear here again, Yue Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised. This guy could actually traverse here through his Primordial Spirit, likely indicating he’s no ordinary person. Could it be...?
With that thought, Yue Xiaoyao swiftly appeared beside Chen Tianlong without a word. He placed a palm on Chen Tianlong’s crown.
Yes!
No other place, directly on the crown. If it were a person in reality, it would undoubtedly be a killing move.
But in the Primordial Dragon Realm, everything wasn’t the true body but rather the soul, more accurately, the Primordial Spirit.
And Yue Xiaoyao striking Chen Tianlong’s Primordial Spirit was to discern exactly what kind of person he was, to be able to freely traverse the Primordial Dragon Realm at such a young age, barely at the Yellow Dao.
Whoa!
Yue Xiaoyao widened his eyes, filled with astonishment. It turned out that the destined person he had been looking for all along was right here, the Five Elements Yangzi.
