Chapter 249: Blessing in disguise. (2/2)

Once he had finished he went right back into Haru's soul ocean and appeared in the same place where he was before he left.

”So is it working?” Li Jun asked Ralph.

”Well… He is still here. So I'm not sure…” Ralph spoke with a concerned sounding voice contrasted against the puppet-like face. But as soon as he finished talking, the ground beneath them began to shake.

”What's going on? Is it working?” Haru asked. He didn't know what was going on but until the ground began to shake. All three of them immediately ran outside the mansion to see what was going on within the soul ocean.

But as they got outside a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky and struck the ground, stopping them dead in their tracks. Haru looked up to the sky to see the red lighting now shooting around the sky with enough violence to desolate a city.

But that wasn't the strangest thing. There was a slight crack in the sky above them. What was usually a clear blue sky had a dark black crack. But from that crack, there was a blue liquid leaking down into the thunder clouds above them.

”What? His Qi is merging with the blood thunder sapling?” Ralph seemed shocked by what was going on. And so did Li Jun. They both knew that it was something unheard of.

The blood thunder that was in the sky above them was the effect of the small tree that was standing in the centre of the lake. It had a dark red colour to the trunk of the tree and it had no leaves. But as the blue liquid leaked down from the sky and into the thunder clouds, the truth began to blossom blue coloured leaves.

”It's blooming… It's actually blossoming.” Ralph couldn't believe his eyes. The blood tree was almost as old as he was. The master of the mansion brought the tree to the mansion when it was just a sapling hoping that it would produce blood thunder fruits. But the sapling was heavily damaged during a battle and never blossomed. Not for millions of years.

But now it has started to grow leaves upon the branches. He didn't know what it meant and Haru watched on in confusion before suddenly he felt a pain in his chest. It was a slow-burning pain followed by a throbbing within his heart. After feeling the pain there was a sudden rush of heat around his body as blood began to flow through his veins.

As soon as blood began to pump through his body once again he vanished from the spot he was standing in and his soul was immediately brought back into his body. He gasped for air as he opened his eyes and began to look around the room. His vision was a little blurry and everything seemed dark but as the blood flow returned back to his eyes everything came into focus just as clear as it was before.

He looked up at the clock and watched as the seconds ticked by. He had been dead for just a few minutes and still had the pill affecting his body and drawing Qi into his body at a supersonic rate. Although he had just died and that would be enough for someone to take a few days to focus on living. He wasn't going to let this chance go to waste.

He felt as though all of the organs had been strengthened by the serum that he had been injected with and that was the reason that his body was now resisting the side effects of the pills. His death was a blessing in disguise as now he knew that he would be able to handle more pills and speed up his training more efficiently than anyone else could.

As he sat there and thought about it for a few moments. He realised that even his dantian had become stronger and was now working more efficiently than it did before. It really was a blessing in disguise, but he now realised that he couldn't keep on acting recklessly. He had died twice now. And that was enough to make him not want to push his luck anymore even if he could come back to life.

He then closed his eyes and began to cultivate while the Qi flowed throughout his body.
