Chapter 49 - Manually Control (1/2)
The thing Jeremy was trying to do was to manually control his mana whirlpool to attract and absorb mana particles from the outside world.
Typically, his three mana whirlpools would operate and absorb the mana independently without having Jeremy exert any force into controlling them at all.
However, Jeremy decided to try his luck with this manually-control method this time, for it might work somehow.
'My mana can't remain at 85% like this. That's why this method is the only hope for me to recover my mana without having to rely on that death-magnetism title.'
Jeremy shook his head slightly after thinking about his rank-10 title, which came along with a unique talent, Mage of Origin, that was able to help him convert the quality of mana to his liking.
Still, as great as its name and rank suggested, if Jeremy decided to equip the title now, it was akin to willingly requesting for a death sentence.
Right now, if anyone was inside Jeremy's upper dantian, which was actually impossible, and if it was somehow possible, then they would see the rotating whirlpool currently spotted some changes.
Concurrently, the giant whirlpool was changing bit by bit from its edge, extending all the way to its center.
For its changes, it spun quicker, was the first change...
Its center also started extending downward, was the second change...
Bit by bit, the whirlpool started becoming similar to a giant vortex with a heavy spinning long tail, stretching downwards in the direction of the dark space's edge.
Not long after, the vortex's tail-end touched the dantian's border, as if it was trying to force through a transparent layer there, which should be something akin to the dantian's protective layer.
But even after some time passed, it was to no avail...
For it seemed like the protective layer at the dantian's border was made of something rigid and solid, causing the vortex to be unable to break through at all.
However, to break through the protective layer of the dantian?
That was never Jeremy's intention in the first place; he would never do something stupid like that.
If he ever dared to try it for real, Jeremy might become a cripple in the next seconds...
Then what was Jeremy trying to do?
Currently, Jeremy was using the mana vortex's tail end to make a connection with the protective layer at the dantian's border.
As for the purpose...
He was trying to make a more intimate connection between his mana whirlpool and the outside world's atmosphere.
That was the only way...
It was also very challenging to do something like that.
No, it was actually impossible without a person entering a 'realm' first. But luckily enough, Jeremy had already achieved the realm of Mindful Body.
Anyone would know how hard it was to control things manually inside one's own dantian, as they could see it from Jeremy's shaking body which was swaying like a leaf facing gusting wind right now...
Even with the Mindful Body Realm to control that vortex, Jeremy still felt like he was going to implode from within soon, for he to dare play with his own dantian, which was considered a forbidden area by most people...
However, it was still a relief that Jeremy only had to maintain this status quo for no more than 3 minutes. Otherwise, if he had to carry it out any longer than that, he might really die from the backlash of his dantian's implosion.
Around two minutes later, the connection between the vortex, protective layer, and outside world was finally established.
*Click*
Suddenly, something clicked within Jeremy's dantian...
'Done...'
Following that thought, Jeremy exited from the realm and then maintained his stage 10 meditation to connect his mind, body, and technique altogether, causing him capable of roughly observing and maintaining the status quo within his upper dantian.
Well, if he quit his meditation now, the vortex would just revert back into its original shape, whirlpool, and all his hard words would have gone to waste.
So, there was a need for Jeremy to maintain the meditating state to control his dantian's activities.
Just like that, Jeremy was carefully observing the current situation within his upper dantian...
One minute passed...
Two minutes passed...
Three minutes passed...
