624 A Problem During Cultivating
[You mean the three sovereigns deal?] I paused, thinking about this move. If I said no, I’d get on the bad terms of those three. And if I said yes, then I’d get on the bad terms of other sovereigns.
[I’d consider like not receiving your last message] that was the perfect answer to such tricky question, [See you later, in two days time]
[Ok]
He seemed dejected by my evasion. Dude! Don’t blame me here, I’m not going to let myself be cooked by such a wrong decision.
Well… I had to put down all my hopes for now. I had to wait for two days, and then see the result.
“Ok, time to start cultivation then,” I got delayed, and I was glad I did. I had such rich offers and just had to wait for that race of higher ups to make up their minds.
Refusing to do business with me? That was a joke! Trying to change the content of the three sovereign deals? That also was a joke.
If they wanted to do anything here, they would aim towards giving me better offers and let me accept them.
I sat down and closed my eyes, regulated my breaths and started to absorb the outside energy.
However the first moment I did so, I felt a great torrent coming from outside, getting attached to my right arm.
The dantian there looked like it was a hungry beast, and the world outside was throwing so damn tasty preys for me to devour.
“Damn fierce!” I couldn’t get such absorption under my control for much longer than half an hour. I had to stop training, opened my eyes while my breaths rushed up.
I felt like I was running, not training! The moment I opened my eyes, I saw the energy all around stirred up, gathered to form a big and violent looking tornado.
The ceiling of this mansion was even damaged by the energy gathered up here. I looked up, with daze and amazement, towards such thick and pure violent energy.
The energy was like a wild beast that got unleashed. I stood on the side, while my right arm kept absorbing whatever energy was here.
Things took almost another half hour to cool down. Damn! What just happened here?
I knew this world was left untouched for a long time. But I never thought the amount and level of this energy would grow to such magnitude.
Just training for an hour here was equal to more than training for days back on Earth! Was there such a difference between the two worlds?
“Let’s try again,” the first time I got by surprise. But this time, I got my mind ready to face that kind of berserk and immense energy.
I absorbed it the moment I closed my eyes and regulated my breathings. The amount of energy coming through my body was just too massive. However this wasn’t the issue.
I handled lots of energy before. But this time this energy was acting more like the black energy from the weird creatures I absorbed before.
Yes, there were strangely many similarities between the two. This kind of energy wasn’t on par with that black energy in purity and level, but it just acted as aggressive as it.
Was this just a coincidence? I didn’t have time to think about that possibility. I started to push the energy in my body to circle inside, gaining speed the more I did.
The absorbed energy gushed into my body, putting too much pressure over my meridians.
Last time I felt like if I didn’t stop, then my meridians would burst open. However this time I tried to soothe such pressure over my meridians by forcing the energy to enter my dantian fast.
However I couldn’t continue doing this for more than three hours. I had to stop, and as I watched the berserk energy cutting through the ceiling of this mansion, I left the task of digesting this energy for my dantians.
“Hilary… Is going to kill me!” I looked at all the damage here and could only sigh. This energy… How could it grow to such a degree to feel intangible?
I was sure Hilary used the best graded materials to build this mansion. However it didn’t last for more than a couple hours before getting ruined by this energy.
It wasn’t the issue of the materials used to build this place, but in the energy itself.
“I’ll try something next,” I tried two more times, but all ended up failing. The longest training session lasted for five hours, while the other lasted only for three and half.
That five hours I reached by concentrating all the energy over the secondary dantian. It worked much better than my main one, but it also wasn’t enough to match the insane influx rate of this energy.
I had to find a solution here. I wanted to take advantage of such a time difference in this world for my benefit. Adding the high grade of the energy here, cultivating here would give much more benefits than anyplace else.
I had to endure and last longer. And I got an idea about how to do that.
“Another try,” I said to myself while returning to sit down. Once I closed my eyes again and regulated my breathings, the energy gushed in like before.
But this time, I didn’t aim towards making all of them circulate through my two dantians. I simply established a link between this energy and my feet.
I threw most of it towards my shadow world, hoping that the black energy cluster there would accept this as a teaser.
The remaining part was left to circulate through my body net of meridians, ending up getting absorbed and refined in my two dantians.
Just as I did that, I felt total control over the situation. The previous attempts put a great pressure over me since the first moment of the entry of such energy into my body.
Yet this time, I was controlling everything and didn’t feel any pressure or pain anymore. The influx towards my shadow world was secured and would last as long as I wanted.
I was curious about the fate of this energy. But knowing how fierce and greedy the black cluster energy of mine was, I didn’t need to go in there and check things for now.
For now, I had to use all the extra energy to strengthen my dantians and meridians.
And as such, a long time of cultivating started without me realising it!
