Spirit Vessel

Chapter 1084: Break The Dantian For An Inner Core

The boat floated amidst the dark chaos. To the front was a supreme beauty shrouded in Buddhist light. The rays entered her fair skin continuously.

Feiyun sat in the back and observed the sacred bottle. On the surface were many ghost runes. It emitted a bone-reaching chill.

They have left the first gate of h.e.l.l and were on the way back to the market. This bottle was special indeed, capable of absorbing so many nether soldiers without exploding.

“The runes here look similar to those on the gate, probably the same language.” Feiyun frowned and said: “So is this something from h.e.l.l?”

He then summoned Yao Ji out of the kingdom and asked her about the bottle’s origin.

“In the distant past, a great master opened a path from Jin to the Yin and Yang World. This also led straight to another location - an area filled with perils. I’ve searched deep into the Yin World but had to stop, there were too many powerful creatures in those locations.” She leaned on his chest and said: “The bottle was left behind to protect the Yin World.”

“What is the secret behind Jin? Why are there so many unbelievable things happening there? I have to return later.” Feiyun thought before gently stroking her hair and returning the bottle to her.

“You’ve been through the fourth ghost transformation and haven’t stabilized your form yet. There is a lot of nether energy in this bottle, absorb them and your cultivation will soar.” He then sent her back to the kingdom and began to cultivate.

His power increased greatly from all the essences and medicines taken recently. The raw power exceeded his cultivation.

If he couldn’t make it to Heaven’s Emergence, he would lose control just like the Evil Woman.

“Break the dantian and create a sacred inner core, an unprecedented route. Should I?”

The dao path was long with many choices. One move could ascend someone or obliterate them, hence the need to be careful.

“There’s no other way, I must open a new path.” Feiyun’s eyes became determined and he no longer hesitated.

He summoned h.e.l.l Yama and Qilin Monarch to protect him during his meditation.

He wanted to take it step by step with the three parts. First was the upper dantian.

His eighty-one phoenix bones gathered power and shot out fireb.a.l.l.s at the upper dantian.

If anyone knew about this decision, they would call him insane. The dantian was the most vulnerable and most important part of a cultivator. This was suicidal.

“Boom!” The fireb.a.l.l.s reduced it to pieces, causing him to tremble in pain.

His spirit energy and life force dispersed at a rapid rate. His skin turned gray as he visibly aged.

He initially looked around twenty. Now, he became a middle-aged man.

“Ugh…” He spat out a mouthful of blood but gritted his teeth and tried to stop spirit energy from escaping.

At the same time, he tried to gather the broken pieces. The inner core was only the size of a grain.

After absorbing the broken pieces, it started growing larger. This was a slow process but he could tell that it was happening.

Unfortunately, his physical const.i.tution was still being reduced. Now, he looked fifty with some gray hair.

“Condense!” There was no time to waste. He might die from old age before finis.h.i.+ng the process.

Saint energy erupted. Rays shot out of his eyes and ears. They rotated around him and turned into a net, slowly entrapping his body. This aided the acc.u.mulation process.

He trembled again after the impact. He had wrinkles and crow’s feet by his eyes now.

However, his eyes became more profound along with his aura.

“Ugh… that’s the upper dantian. The first step is finished and my cultivation has doubled. But…” He touched his face and then looked at his hands. This was the skin of a sixty-year-old man.

“I lost one-third of my life span already.” Even his voice changed.

“What a price to pay, will I die from old age if I destroy the middle and lower dantian? No, I must break this curse.” Feiyun didn’t waver but decided to take his time.

He wanted to consolidate his new power first before attempting to break the middle dantian.

He needed more medicines to replenish his spirit energy and life force. Ordinary ones were useless, only the rare and ancient could do so.

Meanwhile, the boat stopped in front of a daoist temple built on a floating mountain. It towered at nine thousand meters and looked majestic.

Death energy engulfed this place but strangely enough, it had numerous bamboo trees growing from it. The leaves rustled with the wind, issuing a pleasant sound. The smell was also comforting.

The woman stopped at the base and looked up: “This is Lotus Mountain, only one immortal step away from the market. This was a holy ground in the past.”please visit .

“Why are we here?” He asked.

“Because this is my home.” She walked on top of the steps made of bluestones.

Feiyun could tell that this place was special. The mountain was the center of the entire region. It wasn’t that far from the market either.

Due to its special geographic advantages, it was a great place for cultivation. The fact that she could keep it was indicative of her sect’s strength.

He walked up the winding path as well. They made it through two waterfalls and a quiet forest yet still didn’t see any other disciples.

“Oh, that’s a seven-colored ginseng!” The turtle noticed something and leaped out.

Alas, it was struck by thick lightning bolts. It squirmed on the ground and was covered in smoke: “Feiyun, help me…”

He shook his head in disappointment and created a Buddhist pill. He fed it and managed to save it.

He glanced at the ginseng and didn’t dare to be hasty. This place was full of dangerous formations and traps. It was best to not touch anything.

They finally made it to the entrance to the daoist temple but didn’t see anything. Not even a bird could be seen.

‘There’s something wrong here.’ He felt something chilling while crossing the stone bridge. Each step was taking him to a different dimension. This was a special wormhole.
