Chapter 54 (2/2)

Within the Dantian, Lin Qian Soul Energy filled the fiendish inferno, mercilessly scorching the two Martial Souls within. The cinders of the Soul Energy flame entered the white and black Martial Soul continuously.

Then, a mysterious and unexplainable change began to occur within the two Martial Souls.

“Insufficient Soul Energy?” Suddenly, the roaring fire in Lin Qian’s body gradually weakened, setting Lin Qian’s heart into rapid stammering.

The breakthrough of the Nirvana Stage was the Practitioners rebirth from fire. After the soul energy was incinerated, the body of the practitioner undergoes a transformation from the inside out.

It could be said that after the breakthrough from Materialised Vitality Stage to Nirvana stage, the Soul Practitioner becomes a whole new being.

This was why Lin Qian’s ability to meet a Nirvana Practitioner despite him being in Materialised Vitality Stage was flabbergasting. The inconceivable truth would only make others think it was a cooked-up lie or inflated facts.

Nirvana Flame Rebirth. As the name suggests, to reach Nirvana Stage, there was a need for more flames. Moreover, this flame had to be burning on Soul Energy from the Practitioner’s Dantian.

Now, Lin Qian could clearly feel that he was not going to break through soon and that he was miles away from that point.

PENG!

The wood pail burst into pieces from the force radiating from Lin Qian’s body. The potion within it had already vanished without a trace. Now, the only thing that remained was the wooden board which he sat on. The Nirvana Flames that occurred during the breakthrough into Nirvana Stage were peculiar. Its heat only affected the person forcing his advance and the medicines that support his intent. Things that had no relation to the breakthrough, like the container for the potion, were left unburnt. As such, the wooden panel that Lin Qian sat on was left unfazed.

Tightening his focus, a menu screen which only he could see appeared in mid-air. On the screen, a figure appeared. He was Zhuge Ming. Now, he stood in front of a Battle Mirror within the Huaxia Empire.

To support their Emperor, countless of Huaxia’s most exceptional scholars had gathered within the Tiangong Ministry.

On the front, various sizes of Battle Mirrors hung in sequence. On each mirror, tables, charts and numbers were densely packed. All of the scholars unceasingly pumped in their own energy to transmit and display their research findings.

Zhuge Ming stood on the highest platform within the hall. From there, he observed all of the data on the eight most enormous Battle Mirrors present.

On the Battle Mirror, seven showed the most detailed information on Lin Qian’s condition, and on the last, the state of the Huaxia Empire supply of Heaven and Earth’s Energy for Lin Qian through Heaven’s Slit.

On the Battle Mirror in front of Zhuge Ming, he could see Lin Qian’s face.

“Your Majesty!” Zhuge Ming quickly raised his hand in salute when he saw Lin Qian.

“Breakthrough of the Twelve Rounds Nirvana demands Soul Energy that is far beyond our calculation. Now, I need you to increase the output of Heaven’s Slit to my Soul Energy.” After meeting Zhuge Ming’s salute, Lin Qian directly instructed.

That request was beyond appalling for Zhuge Ming. Immediately, he persuaded Lin Qian against it, “If we increase the output of Heaven’s Slit, the pain that Your Majesty would go through would be inconceivably huge. Your Majesty, that amount of pain would be excruciating beyond your imagination. It isn’t something that you might be able to withstand!”

“Increase the Soul Energy output. I will be able to withstand the, I have to. I cannot afford to fail this breakthrough.” Then, he paused and looked Zhuge Ming in his eye. “And, I have faith in you and the Tiangong Ministry.”

As those words repeatedly echoed in Zhuge Ming’s heart, his jaws dropped. He shut his eyes, smiled and bowed, “Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. We understand your request.”

The next moment, the image of Lin Qian disappeared from the Battle Mirror, reverting back the data and statistics once more.

“I’m sure everyone heard it.” Sweeping across the scholars gathered beneath him, Zhuge Ming saw the various emotional faces.

“Yes!” The army of scholars roared and clenched their fist.

“Then, let us bring out the best we have. All for His Majesty!” Conviction glowed within Zhuge Ming eyes as he glanced at the Battle Mirrors, “Increase the output!”

Inside the mansion on Mt Maoqing, Lin Qian’s eyes suddenly widened. His face flushed red in agony as he clenched onto his almost cracking teeth. Under the excruciating pain, drops of blood had trickled down his gums, staining his entire mouth red.

Boom!

The horrific Soul Energy fire surged out of Lin Qian’s body like a geyser. Instantly, the raging inferno overflowed, bursting out of the house, wrapping Lin Qian’s bedroom in it.

Wei Wushuang, who stood in the courtyard, stared blankly at the towering Soul Energy flames.

As the blazing red tower wrapped the whole house inside, his jaws dropped, “This boy …”

He was dumbstruck.
