Chapter 60: Collectively Made Miracle (1/2)

After half an hour of intense and severe cultivation, I finally toned down both my Original Qi Core and Virus Qi Core, condensing them to one-third of their size. Albeit being a cultivator in the Spirit Realm, I could sense that both my Qi Cores held enough power to rival those in the Peak King Realm. Still, that doesn't mean I can fight head to head with them. My body is not strong enough to handle the power I have, after all. If I were to immediately harness these powers out, I'll be seeking death.

In any case, if someone in the Peak King Realm or Lower Immortal Realm, I'd probably be able to emerge victorious if I fight to the death.

The sweltering heat wrapping my body has increasingly abated, all thanks to Wu Yan tending to me. And with that out of the way, my continuous condensing of my Qi was now easier than it was previously.

There was no need to worry about dying mid-way in my cultivation now. It was a miracle that I was able to survive that onslaught and pressure from someone in the Dao Realm.

”Haaah~! ” I breathed out as I opened my eyes. My consciousness has stabilized a little bit. I won't have to fear going on a rampage in the Red Sea Shelter.

When I woke up, I realized that most of the onlookers had already taken their leave. They were probably waiting for me to wake up and decided to give up because I was taking too long. As for Liu Zhi's party, Shen Rong, and Luo Zehn, they eagerly gathered around me, surrounding me with their Qi so I won't overheat.

And here I was, thinking that it was mostly Wu Yan who helped bring my temperature down. I had all these guys to thank, I guess.

”Young kid, are you all right? I apologize for my actions earlier.” Shen Rong cupped his hands and bowed towards me as soon as he saw me open my eyes.

His genuine expression and apologetic response almost threw me by surprise. In my past life, every Dao Realm Cultivator I've ever met had an arrogance that is higher than the heavens. But this Shen Rong is as humble as a rock, and he even treats a Spirit Realm Cultivator like me with respect. He's the very definition of the saying 'Like a Bamboo, the higher you grow, the deeper you should bow'

In return, I cupped my hands and bowed even lower than him. Respect must be returned with respect and as someone who was in the Peak Dao Realm before, I know how hard it is to humble oneself when in access to greater powers. ”I must apologize as well, Shelter Leader Shen Rong. My body sensed danger and it impulsively retaliated. I apologize for breaking a small portion of your Qi Core, Shelter Leader.”

”No, it's fine. I was the one who decided to test you. The consequences should fall solely to me.” Shen Rong responded. ”Now that that's out of the way, would you mind telling me what happened to you? Over dinner, of course.”

”I will be willing too, Shelter Leader. As it turns out, I also have a lot of questions regarding the Blood Element.” I answered.

”Very well,” Shen Rong then turned around as his bodyguards meekly followed behind. ”I've been informed by Luo Zehn that you have somewhere to go off to as soon as tomorrow draws nigh. I will arrange the necessary preparation for your journey ahead. But for tonight, let's at least share a meal together.”
