C24 (1/2)
After studying the sword for a long time, he still could not come up with an answer. Ling Yan picked up the black sword and held it in his hand, and slashed it down. ”Zheng!” Feeling the crystal ball, Ling Yan was extremely surprised. Although he did not know what kind of quality the black sword in his hand was, the black sword should at least be at the spirit artifact level if it could be kept in a storage ring with Mother's cultivation level, right?
A spiritual weapon could not split apart this crystal ball. Could it be that this crystal ball was even more honorable than a crystal ball? Although the crystal stone was much tougher than ordinary stone, that one slash was more than enough to split the crystal stone. Right now, Ling Yan thought that the crystal was very precious, because it contained spirit energy, allowing people to cultivate normally in an environment without spirit energy. Apart from his own body, which was a natural treasure, there was no other natural treasure that could compare to it.
Since he couldn't see Tang Lingyan, he stopped wasting time on the crystal ball and casually placed it aside. Then, he took out a straw mat from the corner and sat down cross-legged to meditate. Ling Yan didn't have a storage ring for a long time, and had been in closed-door training for a long time. He hadn't yet formed the habit of cultivators stuffing storage tools whenever they saw a good item, but had instead casually put the crystal ball aside.
It was because of this subconscious action that he had gained a great boost in his pursuit of the Heavenly Dao in the future, clearing away his obstacles and resolving his troubles. The creature inside the crystal ball stayed by his side for a long time, longer than any of his closest friends, including a few female friends.
Ling Yan circulated his primeval essence to comprehend the situation in one side of his body, and then took out the jade eye manual to compare. To verify what realm he was in, it was obviously not in the ”Fasting” stage, and not even the ”Heart” stage. As for the ”Ling Ji” stage, Ling Yan had never thought about it.
After a long period of comparison, Ling Yan was able to deduce his current cultivation realm, which was … no realms. Ling Yan was stunned for a long time, and felt a little confused. None of the descriptions in the jade eye manual matched the current situation in his body. True essence will return to Shang, and will repeat itself like the tide! ” Putting aside the Nascent Soul in his body, the current situation in his body was similar to the Nascent Soul stage.
The Nascent Soul stage described it as: ”Absorbing the world, the strongest and the most powerful. ”As the cycle goes on, it goes on endlessly!” Ling Yan shook his head as he stopped thinking wild thoughts. Forget about the nascent soul that was evolved from the aurous core formed from the quality of his internal Quintessential Essence, even he himself had yet to experience the process of the aurous core stage! However, he remembered that he had never experienced the 'Revolving Reflection' period before! Ling Yan was once again filled with anticipation. But what about the nascent soul? His dantian was a blur, without even the slightest bit of light, let alone a nascent soul. Then what about his inner sight? The inner sight function that only those in the Aurous Core stage possess is something that he has had since he woke up from closed-door cultivation. How should he explain this?
Ling Yan was very helpless. Other cultivators practice according to the rules, and although advancement wasn't as fast as his own, at least they had to follow the path of their teachers, slow down would reduce their corresponding risk by a lot, and there would also be additional safeguards for their cultivation. In the beginning, they were a bit like him, but in the end, they had completely lost their sense of direction.
”Is it the core of this disaster or me?” Thinking about the core, Ling Yan suddenly had the thought to investigate it. Before, she had never thought about it, but now, when she thought about it together, there was actually an unsuppressible intensity to it. She immediately did it, eliminating all distracting thoughts, and her mind slowly focused on the blood-red core, which was located on the right side of the heart and completely covered by the meridians and blood vessels.
Ling Yan was a little puzzled and a little depressed. What did the core breathe on? People's chests would also move up and down. How come it couldn't see anything? This was a taboo for cultivators. Ordinary people did not care, but everyone only had about 1% understanding of their own body. Even so, they could still live a lifetime without fear. However, cultivators were different. Not knowing yourself was equivalent to carrying a ticking time bomb, and could be dangerous at any time.
Wrapping his mind around the core, Ling Yan was determined to find out what it was no matter what. Sooner or later, it would all come to an end. Today would be the day! It was very easy to figure out the structure of the core. Under his mental observation, it was neither gold nor stone, and there were no signs of life. The two inch radius sphere had no special features.
Ling Yan couldn't help but be confused. Ling Yan had limited knowledge on the material of the core, so he didn't need to think about it. He had seen a lot of things that he didn't know before, but the structure of the core was exactly the same.
The moment the tip of his mind came into contact with the core, something strange happened: the core automatically cracked a small crack in the inner part of the core just before his mind ”arrived.” The moment Ling Yan's mind entered the core, he felt as if his mind was attracted by some unknown object, or as if there was a black hole in front of him that caused his mind to involuntarily spin and rush straight forward — Ling Yan was startled, subconsciously trying to retract his mind, but to his shock, I actually couldn't control myself as I plunged straight into the core at an extremely fast speed, and the situation was getting faster and faster.
