Chapter 148 - Unstoppable momentum (1/2)
I'm already near my limit? Nightin asked himself when the spirit energy started to overflow, his body was already brimming with energy and yet he feels that he can go further.
His spirit energy had already manifested within his body, the flames and wind had became part of his body, mind and even soul. The firestorm spirit energy covered each and every inch of his body, yet the feeling of emptiness still remains.
Just why is this happening? Nightin wasn't afraid of making a breakthrough anymore at this stage, it's more of him being unable to sense the Martial Emperor realm that made him worry.
Is it my innate talent or is it some other reason that's causing this bottleneck? Taking in a few deep breaths to ease off the tension accumulated in his muscles in the panic. He opens his Samsara eyes to detect the spirit energy in the air and realised that all the excess spirit energy was leaking out from his body.
With no one to give him an answer, he closes his eyes as he takes a trip down memory lane, maybe he can recall some important knowledge and derive an answer from there.
First linking back to when he heard about breaking through the Martial Emperor realm, he remembers the few criterias stated clearly on the book even up to this day.
Firstly, it's only possible to seek out the first gate when one's spirit energy is about seventy percent of the body's capacity limit. Ninety percent will bring about a Vibrant gate with special characteristics while the transcendent gate will require one to exceed the person's limit. I'm definitely far beyond this stage, or do I have to push myself further for some reasons?
Secondly, one must ensure that their innate talent is strong enough, the longer one takes to find the first gate, the lower their chances to smash through it. At the age of hundred, it'll be impossible to find the gate ever again which is why while Martial Kings roam the streets, Martial Emperors appear few in numbers. The Firestorm constitution coupled with my improved innate talent also exceeds the criteria as well, just what's it that's stopping me?
The law they cultivate must also at least be of the Half Ancestor realm at this point or the gate will not even budge. The conditions were strict and harsh, but none of them had ever mentioned in detail about the mystical gate, it's rumored that only those who see that gate can see the future of immortality.
Damn it! Just what is it that I'm lacking at the moment!? Nightin felt at a loss, he couldn't sense the transcendent gate, he felt it slipping past him as he travels forward, all he can do right now is advance forward and seek the mystical gate, which even he doubts exist.
Suddenly at this moment, the fire and wind spirit energy in his body manifested into burst of slicing flames as about twenty percent more of spirit energy can be filled.
Nightin didn't know why, but this only happened because the firestorm spirit energy within his body had evolved and was ready for a dual process, they had made up their own mind by taking this risk as well, for failure means death.
This might be it. Nightin hurriedly absorbed the surrounding spirit energy without giving a regard to the weird sensation he was feeling, the feeling of someone preying on him as food or treasure.
With a explosion, the surrounding spirit energy were all being sucked into the vortex of the whirlpool, the soldiers fell back in shock while the True General Lionel was captivated by Nightin's Awe Inspiring cultivation method.
This must be it! He must be the chosen one! Lionel confirmed to himself deep within himself without any second doubts, a grin unexpectedly forming itself before his soldiers as he bellowed ”All soldiers present take heed, I hereby order for the top thousand among your batch to follow the ninth grade noble onto the battlefield!”
”But, General Lionel, he's just a youth around our age with lower cultivation base.” One of the Elite soldiers says, reluctance on his face even though respect was present.
”Elite solider, I believe that you aren't given the authority level to retort me. Very well, I'll take back this decision of mine and you can regret this decision of yours in the future.”
