Next day
On the elegant and quiet bamboo house, Mu Chen sat down on the soft bedding, his eyes shut tight as he breathed in the Spiritual Qi of the world. After a night of quiet cultivation, his mind felt more clear and refreshed. The little slivers of pressure built up from three months of bitter training within the Lightning Territory had been completely removed.
Knock. Knock.
While in silent training, clear knocks rang from the door outside before the inner doors were pushed open. A little head popped in, her two ponytails appearing extremely cute. As her jet-black eyes looked towards Mu Chen sitting on the bed, a crisp, tender voice rang out. “Big Brother Mu Chen, hurry up and wake up. Elder Sister Ling Xi’s asking you to come out.”
Opening his eyes, Mu Chen looked towards the cute and pretty little girl standing outside of the door, while his clear and refreshed mind became much more relaxed. With a smile, he flipped himself off the bed, before walking to the door and rubbing the little head of Su’er. As the little girl puckered her little face up, he walked out of the door, only to notice Ling Xi within the courtyard, standing slender and elegant, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, appearing alluringly beautiful.
“Looks like your rest is pretty good,” said Ling Xi with a faint smile after noticing Mu Chen’s clear and refreshed appearance. “Follow me. Let’s go to your training and cultivation place. That place is connected to the one and only Eighth Grade Convergent Spiritual Array within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Although the degree of thickness of the Spiritual Energy isn’t as dense as the inner section of the Eighth Grade Convergent Spiritual Array, it is quite a bit stronger than the other few Seventh Grade Convergent Spiritual Arrays.”
With a smile, Mu Chen nodded his head, before following Ling Xi to enter the depths of the mountains. With a move, the two of them appeared above the Spiritual Mist-wrapped mountain peak, before sitting down on it.
Grasping a strand of black hair, Ling Xi’s lovable face turned solemn, before speaking out in a soft voice. “Mu Chen, the Great Pagoda Art is the most basic cultivation art of Aunt Jing’s clan, and it’s quite difficult to train and cultivate in it. Although you possess a bloodline relationship with Aunt Jing, it isn’t able to guarantee that you’re able to successfully train and cultivate both the Yin and Yang Scrolls.”
“Within the training, I can’t be certain what would happen. However, you have to promise me that if anything wrong happens, you must immediately stop. Don’t force it.”
Seeing the solemness on Ling Xi’s lovable face, Mu Chen seriously nodded in return.
Seeing this, Ling Xi clasped her jade-like hands together as she changed her hand seals. In the next instant, faint white light condensed within her palms as rays of brilliance radiated out, containing a shade akin to moonlight.
As the rays of brilliance slowly condensed together, they transformed into a white glowing pagoda sparkling in white rays of brilliance. The glowing pagoda appeared rather exquisite, shimmering while giving off a unique and mysterious feeling.
Seeing the familiar white glowing pogoda, Mu Chen felt slightly shocked and astonished. This appeared exactly the same as the pagoda he was able to condense from within his body. The only differences were the colour and the entirely different fluctuations radiating from it. If the pagoda that surfaced from Mu Chen was fierce and overbearing, the white glowing pagoda that had surfaced from Ling Xi’s hands appeared extremely gentle and reserved.
“Concentrate and focus!”
A roar rang out from Ling Xi, causing a jolt within Mu Chen’s mind as he slowly closed his eyes.
All of a sudden, Ling Xi pointed her slender finger out, causing the white glowing pagoda to transform into a ray of white light as it followed along her finger into Mu Chen’s head. With a fierce speed, it entered within the mind of Mu Chen.
Bang!
At the instant when the white glow entered Mu Chen’s mind, a bang seemed to explode within his mind. Strange and mysterious information furiously gushed out like flood waters, before transforming into line after line of cryptic and mysterious cultivation mnemonics.
There is Yin and Yang in Buddha. When Yin and Yang intersect, they form the great Buddha…
A seemingly ancient chanting sound rang out within Mu Chen’s mind, causing those cultivation mnemonics that ordinary people weren’t able to comprehend to flow into Mu Chen’s heart. At this moment, Mu Chen’s mind started to slowly calm down, sinking down into the complicated and cryptic cultivation mnemonics.
The ancient chanting appeared to resound for quite a while, yet appeared to continue for only an instant. With the ancient chanting, Mu Chen’s mind regained his clarity, he started to ponder for quite a while as line after line of complicated mnemonics were recalled in his mind. After quite a while, his hands slowly came together to form a seal.
This time, the hand seal was somewhat different from the ones that he had made while training and cultivating the Great Pagoda Art. However, one could faintly discern there were some similar remnants.
Bang!
As Mu Chen slowly formed his hand seals, the white glowing pagoda within his body that was sent out by Ling Xi shook as it split apart, before a minute clump of white light rose from within, entering Mu Chen’s meridians.
That was a strand of Spiritual Energy. What sets it apart from other Spiritual Energy was the shady glow it brought along. Appearing like moonlight spill out, it followed along Mu Chen’s meridians as it circulated around his body.
Humm! Humm!
Just as the white-coloured Spiritual Energy circulated around Mu Chen’s meridians, he discovered that the Spiritual Energy within his body was actually being agitated. Appearing as if they had received some kind of uncontrollable suction, they attempted to rush out and devour this strand of white-coloured Spiritual Energy.
“Calm down! Use the mnemonics to condense the Yin Seed!”
While Mu Chen was in shock with this unexpected change, all of a sudden, a soft roar rang within his mind, causing a shock to shake through his heart. Hastily, he forcefully suppressed the agitation of the Spiritual Energy. Controlling the strand of white-coloured Spiritual Energy with his mind, he forcefully circulated it quickly within the mnemonics flowing within his meridian pathways.
Following the circulation of the white-coloured Spiritual Energy, its size grew smaller and smaller. Yet, its colour and luster appeared increasingly bright and glittery. Furthermore, Mu Chen was able to sense that following every revolution, he was gradually able to start gaining control of that strand of white-coloured Spiritual Energy. The cool feeling felt ice-cold, causing his state of mind to appear clear and bright.
