Chapter 501: Third-level Heaven’s Mandate (1/2)
The spirit energy in the Dragon Vein was dense enough to take on a pseudo-liquid form.
Feiyun floated above the vein with the core in his palm, still filled with energy. Strands of spirit energy continued to head for his body.
99,000 strands now!
Feiyun’s mind entered his own dantian and began to open his Violet Central Palace once more to open more storage space for energy.
Heaven’s Mandate was divided into nine levels.
Every three levels were a separate step. The first three only required cultivating this violet energy. When the central palace was open with sufficient energy, one could break through the next level.
Feiyun’s cultivation was at third level but he lacked the 100,000 strands of energy. Once he made this step, his central palace would be more consolidated.
His particular palace right now was as vast as an ocean with surging energy. It looked like the origin of a world.
“Boom!” Violet clouds shined the entire place with rampaging energy and temperature as hot as the sun.
Suddenly, the place exploded causing Feiyun to quake. A purple wave emanated with him as the center causing the entire Dragon Vein to tremble.
The maelstrom in his palm circulated even more since it required more energy. They entered his pores, veins, then blood before reaching the dantian. From there, they turned into violet energy and started refining his body.
It was increasing at an unprecedented pace. In the blink of an eye, - 99,100, 99,200, 99,300…
“Boom!” 100,000 strands.
The palace suddenly widened more than ten times. The strands of energy billowed inside just like 100,000 wild beasts.
He had reached third-level Heaven’s Mandate, allowing him to compete against the upper geniuses. Perhaps he would be at a disadvantage, but they were certainly on the same level now.
He stopped cultivating and found that he didn’t even use one-tenth of the core energy.
“A spirit beast’s core is comparable to a Giant’s dantian, enough to support me till half-step with a much faster speed than anyone else.” He put away the priceless treasure.
He took out the King’s Order again. It was completely depleted so he needed to refill it before using its power.
If he wanted to run away from those beasts outside, he would need the King’s Order again. He activated the formations within and placed a True Mysterious Spirit Stone in the socket.
The formations activated and absorbed the energy of the stone. In just two breaths, the spirit stone turned into dust.
“So fast? One of these is enough for a first-level Heaven’s Mandate to cultivate for two years.” Feiyun was pained and had to take out a second stone.
The same thing happened again.
The King’s Order was strong but it needed a monstrous amount of energy too. Feiyun placed a total of 743 spirit stones inside before the order was satisfied.
“Damn, this is wasting too many stones. Even an ore would run out right away.” For example, the previous Feng was a top power at Grand Southern. However, they could only produce around one hundred stones in their ores each year.
It meant that each replenishment would require seven years of accumulation from a regular great power. This naturally saddened Feiyun.
“Looks like I need to use it less because that’s enough spirit stones to buy several millennium grass.” He put away the King’s Order.
“Time to leave now, if I don’t come out, the world is going to go crazy.” Feiyun stood up and held the ring, ready to leave.
However, three rays were flying across the Dragon Vein. They all wore official clothing and were quite powerful.
The beasts were frightened by their auras so they hid at the bottom of the river.
“Eastern Attendant, it’s been two days now, the Divine King must be dead, we should just return.” An old man with a three-feet long beard said.
He was a guest-minister of the royal clan with the qi image of an ocean above him.
Next to him was a eunuch, one of the five main attendants of the inner palace.
“Oh? Look over this, such powerful energy of death. Is there a monster here?” The third expert said.
