44 One More Step (1/2)
Jun Mo Xie walked steadily back to his room. Little Ke nearly burst into tears when she saw Jun Mo Xie’s current state. With trembling hands, she carefully took off his clothes and washed him with clean water.
During the entire time, Jun Mo Xie remained standing. Knowing how fatigued his body was, he knew that if he were to sit down, he would instantly fall unconscious! However, if he were to get through this hurdle and restored his strength while he was conscious, then he would have successfully exceeded one of the limitations of his current body!
After Little Ke finished cleaning his body, he had her move away while he continued standing, meditating with focus. Through his spiritual awareness, he observed the energy channels of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune awaken sluggishly.
To his surprise, he could see that the seven colored exquisite pagoda within his sea of consciousness was rotating way faster than before. Morever, it also emitted much thicker white Worldly Spiritual Qi.
The Worldly Spiritual Qi slowly entered through Jun Mo Xie’s meridians, flowing along the pathways. Every time the Worldly Spiritual Qi reached an area, it would give provide a cold and comfortable feeling. This feeling was akin to a person who was dying of thirst in the desert finally finding a cold drink.
This feeling was simply indescribable.
The misty spiritual qi continued entering Jun Mo Xie’s meridians at an increased rate. Jun Mo Xie’s body, which was fatigued to his limits, began to slowly recover and his entire body gradually became itchy. Especially the injured areas where the itch would be unbearable.
Jun Mo Xie exerted strict self-control over the desire to scratch the itchy areas, directing his full concentration to enter a state of meditation. Slowly… he became disconnected from the outside world.
Over time, all the injured areas of Jun Mo Xie’s body began to discharge a clear layer of fluid, which gradually solidified, forming into scars…
After a while, little by little, the scars on Jun Mo Xie’s body began to wrinkle up before hardening. Then, it turned into powdery crumbs as it fell apart...
A thin layer of dead skin cells started to accumulate around Jun Mo Xie’s feet. As for the skin on his body, it started to return to its former white smoothness. The only difference was the increase in flexibility…
While his tensed muscles that had undergone one day’s worth of exercise started to give off a crystal clear watery glow while shaking lightly. After the shaking ended, the muscles slowly loosened as it restored to its former state as if before the training was done. Next, a wave of unbearable tingling itch started before finally relaxing down…
Jun Mo Xie who had entered a state of meditation did not realize what was happening at all. After overcoming his fatigue, the feeling that followed was a serene feeling of relaxation. His soul felt if it had stepped into an unearthly realm.
It was like a person traveling through the calm ocean, enjoying the gentle waves of the seas as it slowly washed over him and the calming and gentle feeling that accompanied it.
Within his sea of consciousness, the mist that was exuded by the colorful exquisite pagoda became denser and richer. Like waves, the Pure Worldly Spiritual Qi flowed through Jun Mo Xie’s body, coursing through every meridian, muscle fibre, and tendon…
Even though the growth of the flow of qi was not great, it was still growing non-stop. He could clearly see it slowly growing bigger after having received nourishment from the waves of the spiritual qi. In addition, his thoughts seemed to have become other-worldly, without a single trace of his previous fatigue.
At this moment, his spiritual essence seemed to have merged harmoniously with the little pagoda within his sea of consciousness. Even though Jun Mo Xie was a someone with nerves of steel, this sublime feeling of comfort caused him to feel intoxicated.
Abruptly, the colorful Hongjun Pagoda stopped spinning, no longer radiating as brilliantly as it just had. This event startled Jun Mo Xie awake from his other-wordly state. Even his soul was instantly brought back to the mortal realm.
As for the misty white spiritual qi flowing within his meridians, it retreated back like a receding tide. Jun Mo Xie could feel that his whole body was filled to the brim with strength. Slowly, he opened his eyes, which revealed a sharp gaze filled with a divine glow!
Jun Mo Xie gently flexed his body, causing the joints throughout his body release popping sounds.
Instantly, his body returned to its ideal and smooth state while his state of mind was also surprisingly in an excellent mental state. As the moonlight gently shone down, Jun Mo Xie moved towards the windows. The moon hung in the sky like a plate, the surrounding clear blue skies spread out for thousands of miles.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.
In his original world, the Mid-Autumn Festival would be held on the 15th of August. But here, there was only the Autumn Festival which was held on the 20th of August.
No matter which world he was in, the moonlight remained as gentle as water, spreading its splendor everywhere.
Jun Mo Xie sighed lightly, surprised that his heart was no longer filled with the emotions of loneliness. It would seem like his heart had slowly become accustomed to the current world. The moon remained the same moon; the sky remained the same sky! Since the skies were the same skies, then he may as well just take it as a change in working environment…
Jun Mo Xie carefully scanned through his body and discovered that the injuries he had gotten in the day had all been healed. Even those injuries, which were severe, were all completely gone.
In addition, even the scars had miraculously disappeared within the span of one night, his skin smooth yet flexible. Jun Mo Xie could not help but stare at the result
