C13 (1/2)
It was a winter morning, and the world was covered with fog. The ground was covered with a layer of frost.
Beside the lake, Han Yan opened her eyes and her first reaction was to look around. There was nothing but silence. Han Yan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he was in a barren mountain. If a wild beast came, he would lose her life. Thinking about what happened before she fainted, Han Yan's heart tightened and she quickly looked to her side. The Heavenly Dao Jade Seal was quietly lying by the lake, without any changes.
Han Yan frowned as she kept pondering the reason. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly looked at her wrist, which was stuck with a talisman. There were no more runes there, only the black powder of burning runes. Talismans only burn when one consumes all of their spiritual energy. Even if you count them all at once, this talisman will only take three days. How did you use up all of your spiritual energy?
The Heaven's Path Jade Seal must be the Heaven's Path Jade Seal. Before losing consciousness, all of the spiritual energy in his body had been forcefully absorbed by the Heaven's Path Jade Seal, so why would it absorb that energy? Han Yan picked up the Heaven's Path Jade Seal and carefully touched it, but she didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Just at this moment, the first rays of sunlight shined upon the world, causing the fog in the surroundings to become slightly thinner. At the same time, waves of spiritual energy came out from the ground and echoed between the heavens and the earth.
Han Yan knew that the spiritual energy in the air was the densest in the morning, and when the first rays of sunlight shone on the land, the spiritual energy could be said to be the best time of day. Sensing the spiritual energy in the air, Han Yan quickly chose a concealed location and sat cross-legged on the ground, entering into cultivation. This time, just as she entered a meditative state, she felt the surrounding spiritual energy rush toward him. Han Yan was very happy and increased the speed of her breathing. After a few breaths, there was no spiritual energy in his body. The spiritual energy didn't seem to enter his body, but rushed into her arms.
”What's going on?” Han Yan woke up from her cultivation. While sensing the direction where the spiritual energy was coming from, she looked into her arms.
With this look, Han Yan's eyes widened, because other than the Heavenly Jade Seal, there was nothing else. Could it be that all this spiritual energy was directed towards the Heaven's Path Jade Seal? Since that was the case, why hadn't she seen such a phenomenon when she was cultivating in the past? Yesterday night, the Heavenly Jade Seal absorbed the spiritual energy within the talisman, so this phenomenon happened today. Could it be that after the Heavenly Jade Seal absorbed the spiritual energy, one of the functions was activated?
The more Han Yan thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. She was even more certain in her heart that the Heavenly Jade Seal was an extraordinary treasure. But no matter how valuable a treasure was, it was useless if it couldn't be used by him. Han Yan wasn't in the mood to continue cultivating, so she decided to study the Heavenly Jade Seal. Since the Heaven's Path Jade Seal could absorb spirit energy, what would it do after absorbing spirit energy? Could it be that it could cultivate and become an immortal just like humans?
”No, impossible!” Han Yan rejected this idea. If that was the case, then why didn't she have this sign before and it even happened to appear when she was cultivating. Suddenly, a thought flashed across Han Yan's mind, causing him to jump in fright, ”Could it be that you want to help me cultivate the Heavenly Law Jade Seal?”
”Unfortunately, this guy doesn't know how to talk. If only he could tell me what I'm thinking.” Han Yan fiddled with the Heavenly Jade Seal and continued to ponder. He didn't believe that she wouldn't understand what this fellow was trying to do. After thinking for a while, she still could not come up with an answer. The spiritual energy that had rushed into the Heavenly Dao in a surprise attack also gradually weakened, finally disappearing without a trace.
Han Yan raised her eyebrows and quickly continued to cultivate. The moment she started to meditate, spiritual energy rushed into the Heavenly Jade Seal.
Looking at this result, Han Yan became excited. What she had just said was completely correct. This guy usually didn't absorb spiritual energy, but only when she was cultivating would such an anomaly happen. What she needed to do now was to make use of the spiritual energy she had absorbed from the Seal of Heaven's Path. Han Yan held the Imperial Jade Seal of Heavenly Law in her hand and tried to cultivate it. However, even after half a day of practice, there was still no difference. There was not even the slightest bit of spiritual energy within her body.
”Perhaps the method I used just now is wrong. To condense spiritual energy by breathing, it is impossible to absorb it through physical contact.” When Han Yan thought of this, she hurriedly held up the Imperial Jade Seal, placed it in front of her nose and inhaled deeply. This suction force was too great, it actually caused him to choke. He heavily coughed a few times to catch her breath.
However, just as she was catching her breath, Han Yan felt a numbing sensation in his body, as if ten thousand ants were biting at him. If his body could feel the numbing sensation, then it would mean that there was a trace of spirit energy in his body. That would mean that she had entered the sect, and after she continued to cultivate and stored a certain amount of spirit energy, she would be able to attempt to enter the first layer of the Qi Training stage.
As Han Yan thought of this, she was completely stunned. She exclaimed in surprise, ”It's so magical. One breath can make the body have spiritual energy?” After all, he had been cultivating for more than a month and still couldn't get any spiritual energy in her body, but she could complete it with just one breath. Everything happened too fast, making him feel like it wasn't real.
The feeling of the ant biting and biting continued. Han Yan pinched her thigh again forcefully, and only after feeling the pain did she confirm that she was not dreaming. Since this isn't a dream, then let's continue! Han Yan wanted to see how many surprises the Heavenly Dao Jade Seal could give him. She closed her eyes and returned to her cultivation. Following the breathing technique, she absorbed the air in front of him again and again.
As the spiritual energy entered his body, it began to circulate by itself, and the feeling of an ant biting at his flesh became more and more intense.
Han Yan seemed to have forgotten everything as she wholeheartedly immersed herself in cultivation. Time slowly passed. Han Yan only woke up from her cultivation when the sunlight completely fell on the ground. After waking up, he felt that his body was very comfortable. The cold of winter was no longer felt. His body was like an energy body, and waves of spirit energy were slowly circulating in her meridians, blocking out the surrounding cold energy.
If he continued to train at this speed, it wouldn't take long before he reached the first level of the Qi Cultivating Stage.
At this moment, Han Yan had unprecedented confidence in his cultivation, but in the next second, it dimmed again. If the inner sect disciples hadn't chased Tang Xiaofeng for a certain thing, then it would have been fine. However, after seeing it, their thoughts changed. Han Yan was certain that the cultivation world was also a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Just like in the mortal world, there would be murders and robbing for treasures, and this was even more obvious than in the mortal world. Human desires were limitless, especially in the world of cultivation. Whoever didn't want to have a profound cultivation base, or who didn't want to live the same life as the heavens, in front of these things, the conscience of mankind would become much dimmer, or even disappear.
He had to keep the Heaven's Path Jade Seal properly, so as to not be seen by others. Otherwise, it might bring about his death.
