Chapter 77 – Seven-Star (1/2)
Chapter 77 – Seven-Star
Inside the blood cocoon, the iron talisman was flying around Ye Wei’s body whilst giving off a red glow. This time, Ye Wei was very much conscious despite the rage of the souls sacrificed to make the crystals that were rushing through his body, as the Mystic Mountain was suppressing the aggressive energy of the crystals inside Ye Wei’s Sentient. The rage intent and aggressive energy were once again purified, nourishing and strengthening Ye Wei’s Sentient instead of harming it.
Ye Wei opened his eyes thinking, ‘There is good and evil within everyone. It’s so hard to judge if a person really cares about you unless you see how they deal with a situation like this…’ The people outside could not see Ye Wei, but Ye Wei could hear their conversations clearly.
The fact that some of the Warriors left while the others willingly stayed showed Ye Wei what being honorable truly meant.
‘My Sentient is almost as strong as a Warrior’s now, and now that I have enough pills I think I can try to breakthrough to seven-star level!’
‘However this is not the time. My dantian has not fully expanded yet! I should make it as large as I can before I attempt to breakthrough.’ Ye Wei clenched his fist as he thought this. Although the Ye family is not considered big, they did teach their kids common sense. Ye Wei was taught a great deal about training since a young age.
‘The seven-star Student breakthrough is the most important for a Student; I have to do it properly. Rushing it will do me more harm than good.’ Ye Wei’s radiant eyes shone brightly.
‘The body will evolve when one becomes a five-star Student, and the green screen of Qi will help improve one’s speed, strength, and defense multiple times compared to a four-star Student! And when I become a seven-star Student, my dantian will evolve!’
‘Base on the dantian size during the breakthrough, seven-star Student’s dantian can potentially hold many times the Qi as a six-star Student can, that’s why six-star Students should establish a good foundation and strengthen their dantian as hard as possible!’
‘While breaking through to the six-star level, my dantian was widened, when I become a seven-star Student its space will multiply. I need to take advantage of my time now as the more I expand it, the greater the effects will be when I breakthrough.’
‘A frightening amount of Qi is needed to expand it, and the better the pills are the larger my dantian will get. It seems that the Qi inside each superior-grade Blood Devourer crystal is purer and stronger than the Qi within a Silver Moon pill, and it’s only a tiny bit weaker than cosmic energy. Although the talisman absorbed the majority of the Qi from the Blood Devourer crystals, the remaining energy should be sufficient for my needs!’
‘I’ve never heard of these strange red crystals. I don’t think they are something I can buy anywhere. If they were for sale, I imagine they would cost far more than a Silver Moon pill. The feeling I get after refining these crystals is as if I had taken quite a few high-quality pills.’
Ye Wei thought all this as he controlled the energy from the Blood Devourer crystals. He diverted all of it from around his body into his dantian to expand it as much as possible.
The iron talisman had now returned to its original position, three inches above Ye Wei’s head, after flying around his body absorbing most of the energy. While Ye Wei was focused on cultivating, the talisman had been replenishing its energy. Now eighty out of the eighty-one grooves on the talisman were shining silver, and the last groove was half filled.
The people who sat around the blood cocoon did not know that Ye Wei was currently cultivating, and five more hours passed without anyone noticing anything odd about the cocoon. After hours of channeling the energy into his dantian, Ye Wei vigorously opened his eyes.
‘It’s at its limit!’ Ye Wei’s face showed joy and his eyes were shining. After cultivating for so long, he finally fully expanded his dantian as much as was physically possible.
Ye Wei also knew that once he became a seven-star Student, his will-force would evolve as well. His Sentient should then be as large as a Warrior’s, and his dantain would be able to store as much as a nine-star Student could!
When he successfully breaks through and reaches the seven-star level, his body strength wouldn’t be necessary for combat. He would be as strong as a nine-star Student due to his Sentient and dantian! His body strength would be the only thing lacking.
Strength is strength but against mystic stances it can only do so much!
‘Now is the time to breakthrough!’ Ye Wei thought excitedly in his heart. He was looking forward to this for a long time now. Once he becomes a seven-star Student, he can verify if he is able to use mystic stances; even if he can’t use them he could still attempt to create and refine stances!
For now, Ye Wei’s Sentient was still red, but so what? If he could use mystic stances, he can easily refine stances with his phenomenal Soul Sensibility. With all the cosmic energy he would acquire he could then easily upgrade his Sentient quickly.
After Ye Wei slowly exhaled and calmed down from his excitement, struggled to move his arm inside the tight cocoon but he managed to take a Silver Moon pill out of his bag and swallowed it, thus started attempting a breakthrough.
The Silver Moon pill melted as it entered Ye Wei’s mouth and the dense Qi within the pill was released immediately. It rushed into his system, and he was overwhelmed by a refreshing feeling as if he had dived into a cool river on a midsummer’s day. His muscles were shaking, and his bones emitted a cracking sound. His organs were vibrating and it felt like every cell of his body was cheering and celebrating. Ye Wei narrowed his eyes and let himself dwell in this comfortable feeling.
‘These Silver Moon pills are definitely better and more valuable than Fiery Sun Quenchers, and their effects are astounding. The Qi within them is so clean, and there are no impurity in the energy at all!” Feeling the intense, refreshing primal energy in his body, Ye Wei’s lips curled upward forming an excited smile.
‘The transformation has begun!’ Ye Wei thought as he took a deep breath and could feel the changes in his body. He closed his eyes and held his breath as he started to focus on breaking through.
Ye Wei’s cultivation was at the limit of a six-star Student’s. His Sentient and his body strength were strong enough now, and with the help of the Silver Moon pills breaking through was not a difficult task at all.
Bang! Boom! Boom!
As the Silver Moon pill’s effect spread throughout Ye Wei’s body, his strength slowly started to improve. The green energy layer under his skin thickened, and his Sentient too was gradually expanding however his dantian transformed at an even faster speed.
