Chapter 409 - 138: [What Place?] (6200)_4
Meanwhile, the emotional will inside the ring was becoming more evident.
It wasn’t just "discontent" anymore, but rather leaning towards "irritation"!
·
"Damn it! You’re irritated now?" Chen Yan suddenly said angrily, "The Primordial Qi in you is all what I’ve poured into you bit by bit! It’s mine! Now I want to use my stuff, and you won’t give it to me?!"
Chen Yan squeezed the ring forcefully and said coldly, "What exactly are you? An Artifact Spirit?"
The ring gave no response, even the trace of feedback from that will was gradually calming down.
Chen Yan suddenly understood, it wasn’t that the ring wouldn’t communicate with him.
Rather...
"Is my Primordial Spirit too weak? So... I must cultivate my Primordial Spirit to communicate with the Artifact Spirit?"
The cultivation technique for the Primordial Spirit, Chen Yan had it—he just never practiced it.
And it’s too late to practice it now in a hurry. Besides, ever since Chen Yan knew the two paths of cultivating the Primordial Spirit and the Body Technique, he always felt that this path had pitfalls, and he didn’t want to follow it.
At the moment, he didn’t want to delve into the so-called Artifact Spirit in the ring by falling into the pit of cultivating the Primordial Spirit.
Moreover...
Is it really just that my Primordial Spirit isn’t strong enough?
If my Primordial Spirit isn’t strong enough, it only means I can’t "speak."
Can’t speak, but can’t I listen?
Since this ring can reflect emotions and will like "discontent" and "irritation," it proves that it can express itself to me.
At least, it can communicate with me unilaterally.
Even if Chen Yan can’t express himself, it can fully express itself!
"So, it’s arrogance? Look down on me, thinking my cultivation is too poor to be your master?" Chen Yan sneered, "Eat my Primordial Qi every day, and for months, I’ve been nourishing you! And you’re still arrogant towards me?"
Chen Yan laughed in rage, "An Artifact Spirit, eating my Primordial Qi, receiving my support, and dares to treat me like this?"
He took a deep breath, and pushed the ring further into his finger.
Then he pressed his hands together, quickly forming several fingerprints with his fingers, as the fingerprints changed, he once again initiated the force to extract Primordial Qi!
This time, Chen Yan exerted his full power! The intensity of the extraction was more than ten times stronger than before!
"If you won’t be used by me! Then return what you’ve taken from me!"
As Chen Yan increased the power to extract Primordial Qi, traces of Primordial Qi were once again drawn out of the ring.
But then the ring responded once more, the obstructive force was also strengthening.
Eventually, the obstructive force transformed into a kind of reverse suction!
It’s as if the forces on both sides were tugging, like a tug-of-war.
Chen Yan’s heart became increasingly shocked, the suction power of this ring was becoming stronger, almost like an invisible vortex!
Finally, as Chen Yan’s shock grew, his anger gradually subsided, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Alright, alright! I fear you, I won’t extract anymore!"
Yet the ring’s emotion and will feedback seemed to suddenly disappear, only the vortex’s suction force was still increasing!
Chen Yan’s expression changed!
Finally, as his own strength was exhausted, amidst the tug-of-war of Primordial Qi, he finally lost control, and the extracted Primordial Qi was forcibly sucked back into the ring...
At the same time, Chen Yan felt a strange force drill into his body and then fiercely pull something out of him, absorbing it into the ring...
Suddenly, Chen Yan’s vision went black.
·
The damp mist clung to his face, making it feel wet and soothingly itchy.
Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes, as his awareness gradually returned, he suddenly sat up, eyes wide as he looked around!
A dense forest surrounded him.
A layer of white mist rose within the forest, the visibility was very low.
Looking up, the sky was black, but it was unclear if it was because of the mist or some other reason, no stars or moon could be seen.
The trees in the forest had strange shapes and forms, rugged and ridged, resembling not trees but rather a cluster of bizarre rocks.
Branches split like twisted claws on the ground, reaching towards the sky.
Chen Yan shivered, feeling an endless chill encroaching upon him, his legs and limbs gradually numbed, only a warm sensation remained in his chest and abdomen, but it too began to cool.
Chen Yan climbed up from the ground, feeling that he was covered in a lot of soil, very damp.
"What is this... place?"
