Chapter 774 - Heavens Jealousy (1/2)

The innate energy in the Innate Dao Fruit was far beyond his limit, it was still expanding his mortal body bigger every second. Fortunately, the Lei Zhe Continent was huge enough to contain him, else he would have his head out in the outer space. But even so, his head had also extended into the lightning zone.

The innate energy was overbearingly strong and pure, and most importantly, it was in huge abundance. Even with Zhong Yue mustering up everything he had in his Yuan Shen, mortal body, arcane energy, psyche, and blood essence to refine the innate energy into his mortal body, the abundant innate energy was still too much to control.

Finally, when he felt his mortal body start to crumble into bits, the overwhelming pressure forced Zhong Yue to open up his mouth and spurt out the excessive innate energy.

Soon after, he spurted out another mouthful of innate energy again.

Thankfully, as time passed, more and more innate energy was refined into his mortal body, strengthening it and allowing it to contain even more innate energy within.

At the same time, the Innate Dao of Space contained in the Innate Dao Fruit was also slowly refined into totem patterns and knowledge that were inscribed into his mind and soul.

Simply acquiring the Innate Dao Fruit didn't mean one would be bestowed with an Innate Dao; instead, as a matter of fact, the Innate Dao Fruit was just a vessel that contained the Innate Dao in it, the cultivators will still have to refine the Innate Dao Fruit and attain the Innate Dao in it by themselves.

Such as although Zhong Yue had acquired the Innate Yi Qi from Dao Venerate Fu Min, he didn't have any way to use it until he learned the [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] from Dao Venerate Fu Min, attaining the Dao of changes.

It was only then that the Innate Yi Qi became part of his strength. It was only then that was he able to unleash its power.

The same applied for the Innate Dao Fruit; only by attaining the Innate Dao contained within could one turn it into their own power and ultimately—their Dao.

Zhong Yue increased his speed of refining the innate energy into his mortal body. His mortal body was in the Pure Yang state and was close to the innate state; with the innate energy flowing into his mortal body, the barrier between the Pure Yang and innate states were gradually thinning.

Days flashed by, The Leizhe Clan's old clan master and the other experts were all constantly monitoring on Zhong Yue's cultivation progress. They were extremely worried at the start but their hearts eased once they saw him giving up the excessive innate energy out from his body.

Unbeknownst to them, two months had gone by. Zhong Yue's mortal body was now 180 thousand feet tall, the size of a Heavenly Deity's Avatar. Up to this point, Zhong Yue no longer needed to release any innate energy out anymore as his mortal body was already strong enough to contain the energy bursting out of the Innate Dao Fruit.

Then came another two months, Zhong Yue's mortal body was now slowly but steadily shrinking, from 180 thousand feet two months ago to 120 thousand feet now.

"Fuxi's cultivation speed is truly amusing, he is even faster than the pureblood innate Leizhe!"

Old clan master and the few Fuxi Clan's reincarnated Leizhe presences praised from the bottom of their hearts.

It wasn't because his cultivation was deteriorating that his mortal body was shrinking, but in fact, it was quite the opposite!

His mortal body was growing stronger, the energy pulsing across his muscles, the heart that beat vibrantly, and the energy that flowed through his veins. His mortal body had never been this strong before, to be able to contain and constrain the innate energy in a continually shrinking mortal body.

A month went by and his mortal body stopped shrinking at 80 thousand feet tall.

"Something feels odd…" The old presences in the Lei Zhe Continent glanced at Zhong Yue with puzzling faces, one of them mumbled, "He is trying to achieve something, but his progress has reached a bottleneck."

It felt just a fine line away from success, but the bottleneck that stopped him was seemingly insurmountable. No matter how vigorous the innate energy gushed endlessly at it, there was no progress at all.

He still couldn't achieve the innate mortal body.

Suddenly, the old clan master said, "Friends, let's lend him a hand. Shall we?"

In the deepest region of the Lei Zhe Continent, old and hoarse voices rumbled in the sky, "Of course."

Right after that, waves of unimaginable forces energy erupted from the far end of the horizon. They billowed into Zhong Yue's mortal body and forced it to shrink smaller.

The hermit experts in the Lei Zhe Continent were mostly Creators. As they unleashed their arcane energy, godly rays painted the clouds and images of Lei Zhe lightning lochs and dragon gods filled the sky.

But although his mortal body was shrinking, the arcane energy was also protecting it from shattering as well, just in case the innate energy in his mortal body erupt out of his body.

The Leizhe experts!

Zhong Yue immediately identified the timely help and realized that this was his best chance at succeeding. Almost instantly when the arcane energy surged into his mortal body, he started manically refining the innate energy into his mortal body.

With the experts helping him, he would be able to better and faster refine the innate energy, allowing his mortal body to see further progress.

After over ten days, a thousand voices sounded out within Zhong Yue's mortal body and blinding lights glared out of his mortal body while his mortal body was vibrating a thousand times!

The voices were the innate voices of Dao and the lights were the innate divine lights; whereas the surrounding had resonated with the vibrations and the trees around grew towering, the lotuses blooming everywhere, and golden water flowing out from the underground!

The lights and voices dispersed the images in the sky. The only light above the Lei Zhe Continent was the innate lights coming from Zhong Yue's mortal body, surging in the sky.

The human eyes could recognize a few tens of colors; the Fuxi divine eye could see more, around two hundred; but the Leizhe Clan's dragons could identify more than a thousand!
