Chapter 162 – Cultivate
Not long after Lu Feng’s departure, a figure flew past the woods and appeared right next to the pond.
“This should be it.” The warm morning sunlight kissed Ye Wei on his cheeks. He panted for air and stared at the small pool of water. A glimmer of joy shone from his eyes, as his heart raced.
‘If I train next to the Drakehead, my cultivating speed will increase ten times quicker!’ Ye Wei, still excited, remembered what he had read about the Supreme Dragon Ridge.
“More than ten times the speed, so,if I stay here to train and cultivate for the next two weeks… No, not even that! If I train here for the next ten days, I will surely breakthrough to a four-star condensed prime Warrior!” Ye Wei explained to himself.
He clenched his fists tightly. Although he knew there was no time to waste, he was, nonetheless, too excited to even move.
‘This will be the perfect proof! Under normal circumstances, with my talent, even with no shortage of resources, it would take me more than four months to breakthrough as of now. However, I will see very soon if this place really is what I think it is!’
The Progenitor saw all of it through Ye Wei’s eyes, confused, shocked, and a little angered Ye Wei was able to find the Drakehead so effortlessly. ‘It can’t be luck. There is no luck on earth that can lead a man to a Drakehead just in one night!’
‘What else is this kid hiding? He must have some secret methods. Secrets that could benefit even me!’ The Progenitor had no idea that the Supreme’s blood flowed in Ye Wei’s veins, and that Ye Wei subconsciously used the Supreme’s formula.
‘Kid, how did you find this place?’ The Progenitor was insatiably curious. He had never witnessed such effective detective work.
‘Go on, tell me. I will even reward you with a Sky stance. We can even do a heavenly oath; I promise. I will not cheat you in any way!’ The Black Scale Progenitor was one of the most powerful beings. It was a rarity something interested him at all. However, with Ye Wei, the Progenitor was willing to gift a powerful creation of his own in exchange of as many of the boy’s secrets he could discover.
‘I do not care for your stupid stances! The fact that you want to know means that I am not going to tell!’ Ye Wei replied coldly, unmoved.
Ye Wei was obliviously toying with the Progenitor. Although he was able to find the pond, he was far from knowledgeable enough to explain how his detection system’s intricate workings led him to where he was.
Ye Wei was just following the disturbance of Qi in the surrounding area and went to the direction where it felt the strongest. He did not know why and how the Drakehead’s Qi disturbance resonated with his own.
‘You disrespectful idiot! If you keep up with that attitude, I will tear you into pieces!’ The Progenitor became furious. ‘I am the origin of an entire demon clan! How dare you!’
‘Old dog, how many times have you told me that you were going to kill me? And, yet, I am still alive. Somehow I really doubt that you are capable of tearing me into pieces.’ Ye Wei rolled his eyes.
‘You.. you!’ The progenitor frustrated. It seemed luring clearly didn’t work, and he currently had no way of doing anything to his human host.
The Progenitor grunted angrily and went back to silence.
Ye Wei didn’t want to waste his time arguing either. He knew that cultivating was more important at that point, he needed to prove immediately that he was at the Drakehead and he would rather become stronger than to anger a consciousness in his Sentient by winning pointless arguments.
“Good luck finding this place. I will cultivate while your lot wastes the time on ordering people around aimlessly!” Ye Wei murmured to himself, feeling angry that the Lu’s decided to use the cultivators from Green Moon City as slave laborers. ‘I am now one of the strongest cultivators of my family but if we want to keep the Dragon ridge within the family, I have to get stronger, I will have to defend this very spot from the possible intruders…’
The memory of Lu Ren and Lu De, two ten-star condensed prime Warrior threatening the Ye family, was still fresh in Ye Wei’s mind. If he was strong enough to send the Lu’s out of the mansion, he would have.
‘If I was a returned prime Warrior, I could have driven the Lu’s out of Green Moon City all together…’ Ye Wei’s eyes shone a determined glow.
‘Be patient, I will become stronger, and I will do it quickly!’
‘Falling Star Form!’ Ye Wei bent his knees, sat next to the pond and adjusted his breathing. He cleared his mind and ran the Ye’s formula entering a zen state.
As Ye Wei’s Falling Star Formula accelerated to its full speed, dense surges of primal energy from the sky and the earth were drawn to him, absorbed into his body through the pores on his skin.
The raging primal energy circulated through Ye Wei’s meridians a few times, the surges then were purified, stored into Ye Wei’s dantian as pure and dense Qi. The three cracks on his dantian were pulsing, seemed to be excited to receive the condensed energy.
Ye Wei’s cultivation was improving at incredible rate, as his dantian absorbed Qi at the speed he never before experienced.
The intensity of the Supreme Dragon ridge is not good for weaker cultivators. They normally had to slow down the surges before their body could absorb them, but Supreme who died there used the exact same formula Ye Wei was now using. The formula synergized with the Supreme blood in Ye Wei’s veins, he was therefore able to absorb and convert the primal energy. Furthermore, Ye Wei’s Qi had the qualities similar to the Supreme’s, meaning that the energy was flowing smoothly inside his body.
