Chapter 823: Chapter 493: Was Tonight Too Soon? (Part 2)
Gui spoke seriously.
Zhao Rong thought for a mont, “I’m hungry, but not completely.”
The Sword Spirit nodded and said, “You’ve been touched a bit, right?”
Zhao Rong lightly coughed, then suddenly asked:
“So you helped build this Pool Abyss in my Heart Lake and raised eighty-one Evil Flood Dragons just so they could ‘eat’ for ? The more primitive and brutal a powerful force is, the more it is accompanied by ambitions and desires, all sorts of negative impacts…”
He squinted and whispered, “And the possessor is often… polluted, manipulated by this power in turn.”
“And I am using this Pool Abyss filled with Evil Flood Dragons to ‘consu’ the negative influences like violent desires, and then extract the purest of power to feed … Hey, Gui, this is quite impressive.”
The Sword Spirit chuckled softly,
“I rely followed its ‘Dao’, perfected its ‘thods’, and altered its ‘Techniques’.”
“This Outer Realm Skill itself is quite powerful, its ‘Dao’ is an interesting and innovative concept. The existence that created this set of Cultivation Techniques is definitely not simple, and the world where this fascinating Cultivation Technique can exist is definitely not a simple place either. I am also becoming curious about where that Outer Realm Martial Artist’s holand might be.”
Zhao Rong closed his eyes, feeling the Heart Lake Pool Abyss for a while.
At a certain mont, he furrowed his brows slightly.
“The fierce things in the Heart Lake, which other cultivators avoid, are used by for cultivation… Gui, aren’t we playing a bit too big this ti?”
The tone carried so worry.
The Heart Lake is inherently a place second only to the Dantian ridians within a cultivator, and as the cultivation realm ascends, the importance of the Heart Lake grows.
And the waters of the Heart Lake are a recognized mysterious realm, with many high-ranking cultivators afraid to set foot.
Zhao Rong estimated that even Zhu You, a Confucian Scholar on the verge of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, likely hasn’t explored the waters of the Heart Lake as deeply as he has now…
“Hmph, if we don’t play big, how can we let your cultivation progress rapidly? Waiting for your slow advancent, it’d probably take ten years just to reach the vast realm we agreed upon.”
Zhao Rong had nothing to say to that.
He touched the three bamboo slips, nodded seriously, and said:
“Then we should be careful, Gui, you have to watch over things for . These evil creatures of the Evil Flood Dragons, we must be vigilant in preventing any backlash from them.”
The Sword Spirit in the Heart Lake didn’t speak for a mont.
It was silent for a while, then suddenly said, “Zhao Rong, do you think these eighty-one Evil Flood Dragons are external objects?”
Zhao Rong furrowed his brows, “What do you an?”
“Heh, I feel I should remind you of sothing,” Gui said leisurely. “This is your Heart Lake Pool Abyss, the Dragon Carp is you, and the Evil Flood Dragon… is also you.”
Zhao Rong’s pupils contracted slightly.
Gui paused, seemingly giving him ti to digest this slowly.
Zhao Rong didn’t speak.
Gui smiled, “Even in so sense, the Dragon Carp is actually the Evil Flood Dragon, and the Evil Flood Dragon is the Dragon Carp. The Pool Abyss manifested in your Heart Lake has been split into two halves—clarity and turbidness, light and darkness… missing either of them, and it doesn’t work. The two rely on each other, coexist and synthesize to form a complete you.”
Inside the tent, in front of the flickering candlelight.
The young Confucian Scholar habitually rubbed his face.
Gui humd softly, “You have the talent to illuminate the heart and perceive nature, but after you perceive nature, it seems you subconsciously reject all the bad elents in the Heart Lake, as if… these Evil Flood Dragons are not part of you.”
“The Dragon Carp is , the Evil Flood Dragon… is also … so both are indeed one…”
The young Confucian Scholar murmured a few words, then suddenly lifted his head to continue:
“So, after you just infused Dragon Energy, when the Evil Flood Dragons in the abyss consud the negative emotions, what they spat out… those strange waves, they aren’t Spiritual Energy, but a kind of primal power that benefits the Dragon Carp.”
“This primal power that was just extracted stabilized the form of the Dragon Carp in that pure azure glass color…”
Zhao Rong spoke intermittently, while the Sword Spirit smiled without interrupting.
At this mont, he mused:
“Actually, the process and images I see in the Heart Lake, my descriptions… they are all just the Heart Lake specially showing them to , to allow to understand after observing, just a way of representation. In truth, the appearance of the Heart Lake, to you and , looks different, with no fixed shape…”
Saying so, the young Confucian Scholar stood up, without thinking, he assud a boxing stance, and started practicing his punches.
After a mont, he smiled slightly and said:
“The Dragon Carp is , and the Evil Flood Dragon is also … to put it simply, this entire process is where I absorb the Dragon Energy, and all the negative emotions from the draconic demon offspring in the Dragon Energy are pressed at the bottom of my Heart Lake.”
“While the primal power of the dragon’s offspring in the Dragon Energy is absorbed by my body, enhancing my physique, taking a step closer to the robust body of a draconic demon.”
Zhao Rong retracted his punch fra and then clenched a fist to feel the strengthened physique.
He took a deep breath and said calmly, “Gui, I understand what you ant earlier. The Spiritual Energy in my Dantian now is not like an illusory castle in the sky from consuming pills but stems from my body’s real enhancent, from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy embracing as it enters.”
Upon finally understanding the basic essence and functioning rules of this peculiar Cultivation Technique tonight, Zhao Rong no longer hesitated. Under the candlelight, he drank all three bamboo tubes in front of him in one go.
Under the amber candlelight, the young Confucian Scholar wiped his mouth with his sleeve, sat upright, and closed his eyes silently.
Within a certain Heart Lake.
On a high building, among the soft chuckles of the purple-robed Sword Spirit, it leaped to the rooftop and poured the purple air gourd filled in his fingers.
A gentle stream, like a white thin line, fell into the lake.
The Evil Flood Dragons in the abyss rolled over, and the Dragon Carp leaped with joy, wagging its tail…
About one incense stick’s worth of ti later.
Zhao Rong opened his eyes.
His eyes shone brightly under the light, with faint exotic patterns erging, bearing a pure azure glass hue, swirling around the dot-black depths of his eyes.
Zhao Rong lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves.
His right hand clenched and unclenched repeatedly.
He took a deep breath and said calmly, “Gui, I am now in the mid-stage of the Fu Yao Realm.”
Overnight, he ascended two minor realms, never having felt so unimpeded.
Gui nodded, “Impressive.”
Zhao Rong blinked, humbly saying, “It’s alright, ahem, not too exaggerated…”
Yet the tone couldn’t help but betray a hint of a smile.
Gui: “I am saying, the Cultivation Technique I provide is impressive.”
Zhao Rong: “……”
