Chapter 510 More Powerful (1/2)

”Such a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation.”

Darren flew towards the rubble that had once been the pool. The closer he came, the stronger the spiritual energy grew, until he could feel it all around him, calling to him.

Unlike other spiritual energy, this one was purer. And it smelled of age, of centuries, of the passage of time and tide, the cycle of many moons.

Following the fluctuation, Darren picked out a bluish glint among the rubble. The energy was thicker now. Suffocating. Drawn to the glint like a moth to a flame, Darren found a crystal among the rubble at the bottom of the pool. The crystal looked like blue ice and was as large as the head of a bull.

Darren reached a tentative hand down and picked up the crystal. Its power suffused him. Holding the crystal up, Darren tried to absorb the spiritual energy within it.

Darren frowned. ”Why isn't it working?”

He tried again but could not absorb the tiniest bit of the abundant spiritual energy.

”Maybe I should try to use my Assimilation Skill.”

Focusing, Darren activated the Assimilation Skill.

Within his mind came a roar like that of a waterfall.

Spiritual energy poured into his meridians like a river overflowing its banks.

”Wow.” Darren's eyes shot up.

”My cultivation stage. Wow, it is increasing so fast!”

Seconds later, Darren felt as if he was going to break through from the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm to the premium stage of the Wonder Realm.

The speed of the change was astounding. Normally such progress would take half a year of normal cultivation.

He tried to think of other reasons why his cultivation seemed to have been progressing slowly. Perhaps it was because the spiritual energy he had been absorbing in the past did not suit him. Was ancient spiritual energy more suited for his development?

Deciding that to be the answer, Darren assimilated some more spiritual energy. Soon, his cultivation base broke through to the premium stage of the Wonder Realm.
