Chapter 198: One Step Toward Invincibility (2)
The gaseous Spiritual qi condensed to liquid form as it gathered in Yang Shi's dantian. The Spiritual qi surrounding the Longevity Hall was drawn to his room. He was like a vacuum, devouring the Spiritual qi around him.
The Elders of Longevity Hall got alarmed as they looked above.
" Eh? Who is sucking the Spiritual qi at this rate?" An elder mumbled.
" Do you think someone is going to break through to Violet Palace Expansion Realm?" Another Elder asked.
" Quick! Check it. Who is behind this?"
Yang Shi wasn't aware of this as he greedily absorbed spiritual qi. In another hour, He broke through to the Eighth stage. Then Ninth stage. Yang Shi's cultivation rose rapidly.
His soul was already awakened, so reaching the Violet Palace Realm has become far easy for him.
" All I need to do, To create the Palace platform. After condensing the Spiritual qi, one can build a platform in their dantian. It's the foundation of Violet Palace." Yang Shi mumbled.
" But wait, How did I forget about that?" Yang Shi's expression changed as he sighed. The Spiritual qi already swirling in his dantian as they slowly becoming solid.
The Spiritual qi condensed at a single point in dantian as it exploded. It was as if a roaring sea is getting frozen as the Spiritual qi solidified. It made something like a platform in Yang Shi's dantian.
It was the Palace Foundation of Violet Palace Expansion Realm. To reach Violet Palace Expansion Realm, One needs to pass through two major stages.
First, Awakening the soul, and second, building the Palace Foundation.
Since Yang Shi already awakened his soul, all he needs to do is to build Palace Foundation. Most people couldn't even awake their souls, and even if they do, they can't build Palace Foundation.
Building Palace Foundation was a risky thing as if it breaks once, one's cultivation would plummet. And after a broken Palace Foundation, it would be harder to make another Palace Foundation.
So failing once, the probability of reaching Violet Palace Expansion realm lowers even more. But yes, there are solutions for everything, just they are expensive.
Yang Shi's Palace Foundation was building slowly, but then it stopped abruptly.
*CRACK*
The foundation cracked as it spread like a spiderweb. The foundation crackled as it emitted smoke.
*BOOM* Suddenly, all the condensed spiritual qi erupted as the foundation exploded.
Yang Shi'c body shook violently as he coughed a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly channeled his Gold Devil Seal as metal qi protected his inner organs from impact.
" Hah, The more divine this body is getting, the more flaws are opening." Yang Shi wasn't surprised as he failed to build his Palace Foundation.
" Goddamn, Just who was this Long Xian? Why he has so many booby traps in his body." Yang Shi sighed.
His cultivation has dropped to the early Seventh stage. But he didn't mind it. What's the good news, out of his five seals of Primordial Fiend Body Refining Art, other than Gold Devil Seal, all seal's first layer was filled.
It was because since he refined so much Spiritual qi with his Chaos qi, the seal absorbed enough Elemental qi from the atmosphere to get filled. But since Gold Devil Seal was already in the embryonic stage, it didn't show many changes.
" I guess, That's enough for today." Yang Sh chuckled as he wiped the blood from his mouth. Since it's still not morning yet, Yang Shi went to sleep.
" Jin Yu, I think you should rest too. We have lots of things to do afterward." Yang Shi sighed.
" You are acting weird now. Didn't your Palace Foundation just got destroyed? Why are you so calm now?" Jin Yu was surprised.
" Because I already knew." Yang Shi laughed. One could see utmost confidence in his eyes.
Jin Yu shrugged as she went back to her golden egg. Yang Shi fell on the bed as he slept.
In his dream, he saw an unknown scene. A happy couple. Their small child. Then it went blurry as the father walked with his child to a cliff.
The child muttered," Strange. Yesterday, uncle did something to me and now I feel weak. I can't sense Spiritual qi."
" Father, Am I a bad child?" The child asked.
" No, It's just... Fate. And, I am powerless." The man looked at the sky.
The wind was howling on the cliff as the father and child stood. The face of the father was solemn, but his eyes were determined.
He held the child as he raised him by his arms.
" Look, Little Xian. Those who can't go against fate are weak, no matter how powerful they think they are."
" Only If I was a normal father. Only if you..." The man sighed.
" Prosperity requires sacrifice, Hah, to think I thought I could change it. Listen Long Xian. If you ever reincarnated. Don't ever come here."
" You have no place here." The man loosed his hands as the child fell. Bottom of the cliff was an unending dark abyss.
............................................
*GASP*
Yang Shi sprang up as he was gasping for air. He could feel the cold sweat over his forehead. It was as if it's not a dream, but a past memory.
" This dream...It's again." Yang Shi clutched his head as he tried to remember.
" No, Its not Samsara Emperor. It's...Long Xian..." Yang Shi calmed his mind as he thought.
" Pfftt. Hahaha, What a father! What parents!" Yang Shi laughed with extreme anger. Both his life and Long Xian's life were similar in this regard.
" Hah, even after putting Soul Extinguishing Talisman and destroying Foundation roots, they even tried to kill him!" Yang Shi scoffed.
Every creature has foundation roots. This was located in dantian and this is the main component to build Palace Foundation.
But somehow, the foundation roots of Yang Shi were destroyed beforehand. That's why he couldn't build his Palace Foundation.
" Don't worry, Long Xian. One day, I will go to the roots of your problem and avenge." Yang Shi thought in his heart.
" So what if even the heavens are jealous of my fortune? So what if someone wanted to kill me since my birth? As long as I wish Nothing can stop me from being invincible." Yang Shi swore in his heart. He didn't fear the future nor worried about his past. After living life as Yang Shi and Yan Jian, he felt power isn't something that is achieved with sheer cultivation but will and hard work.
" Hmm, It's already mid day?! Damn." Yang Shi hurriedly got up as he took bath and got dressed. Just as he opened the door, He saw Liu Jiang was standing there.
" Eh? Brother Yang, I was just about to knock on the door." Liu Jiang was startled.
" Eh? Why are you here?" Yang Shi asked.
" Did you forgot? I came here to become an Adept Alchemist. I just gave the test." Liu Jiang laughed.
" Ah, you did? What was the result." Yang Shi asked curiously.
" HAHAHA, IT WAS SHOCKING." Liu Jiang roared with laughter.
" I concocted one high tier and three middle tiers Floating Cloud Pills in one go. The elders became so much surprised that they praised me and offered me a disciple position in Longevity Hall." Liu Jiang proudly said.
" Brother Yang, They also praised the cauldron you have made. They said both the materials and the craftsmanship were excellent."
" Hehe, some people even asking me who made it. I proudly told them your name." Liu Jiang laughed.
" Haha, Now, still thinking that my offer was expensive?" Yang Shi chuckled.
" No, not at all." Liu Jiang hurriedly said.
" That's good then. Let's go to Mo Clan. I want to visit them today." Yang Shi said.
" Sure. In fact, I was thinking the same." Liu Jiang nodded.
" Ruxue, Seems I have made you wait far too much." Yang Shi sighed.
" I hope you like this gift."
