What is the most painful thing in the world? For Ye Feng, enduring unbearable pain while listening to a respected elder slowly ramble on about trivial matters is the most torturous experience.
To make matters worse, this solemn elder has taken to being unusually cryptic.
Ye Feng originally only had pain in his Dantian, but now his head hurts even more.
Because Xuan Lao's so-called solution is almost just another piece of nonsense.
"Guide the Vital Energy absorption, guide the Vital Energy refinement, and even guide the Vital Energy circulation; ultimately, it all relies on Soul Thought. When Soul Thought enters the body, it becomes Qi Mechanism. Under the guidance of Qi Mechanism, Vital Energy will circulate, refine, and eventually accumulate in the Dantian." Ye Feng seems to envision an old man with white hair shaking his head and mumbling in front of him.
"This is the foundation of martial arts. Old Man knows you understand; I'm just reiterating it for your clarity." The imagined old man seems to have sensed his impatience and shot him a fierce glare.
"Is there a difference between understanding and comprehending? Xuan Lao, could you please get straight to the point? I truly cannot suppress the turmoil in my Dantian any longer." Ye Feng gritted his teeth against the immense pain and pleaded once more.
"Alright, alright. Then Old Man will get straight to the point. Since Soul Thought can guide Vital Energy, it can also seal it. A friend of mine once relied on great courage to forcibly seal the previously refined True Essence using Soul Thought's Qi Mechanism before focusing on cultivating a second Vital Energy."
"And then?" Ye Feng waited for a long time, but Xuan Lao did not continue. He felt like he was about to go insane.
"And then, what then?" Xuan Lao's response left Ye Feng utterly speechless.
Ye Feng thought to himself that fortunately, he was in an introspective state; otherwise, Xuan Lao would surely see him foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes in agony.
"For example... how did your friend use Qi Mechanism to seal True Essence? And how did he begin cultivating the second Vital Energy after sealing True Essence? Could you not explain that in more detail?"
"Isn't that detailed enough?" The image of Xuan Lao fuming again appeared before Ye Feng's eyes. "The path of martial arts lies in personal comprehension. As the saying goes, 'The master leads you to the door; your cultivation is up to you.' Moreover, you are not yet qualified to be Old Man's formal disciple."
"But I haven't even seen the door," Ye Feng thought, roaring in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder if all the effort he had put into improving his mindset had fallen to rock bottom overnight.
Unable to ask directly, Ye Feng could only provoke, "Could it be that your relationship with that friend is merely ordinary, so you didn't share the secrets with him?"
"Cough, nonsense!" Xuan Lao lightly coughed twice, even though he was clearly a spirit and didn't need to cough at all. "Old Man naturally knows the secrets involved, but everyone's situation is different. Sealing Soul Thought requires personal comprehension; if his method is incorrect, wouldn't you be wasting your efforts?"
"But..." Ye Feng was unwilling to give up and still wanted to pry some useful information from Xuan Lao.
"Focus on your understanding; at least Old Man has pointed you in the right direction! There's nothing else, so Old Man will take a rest now. Just a reminder: speaking with you consumes a lot of soul energy, and Old Man doesn't have much left to expend. Farewell!" After saying this, Xuan Lao fell silent.
Ye Feng tried calling out several times but received no response, so he had no choice but to temporarily give up relying on Xuan Lao.
"Although there's no substantial help, at least I've been pointed in the right direction. Since I can't cultivate the other six Supreme Techniques besides Thunderbolt Technique for now, giving up on these six Supreme Techniques is out of the question; I can only give it a try!"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng's fluctuating emotions finally calmed down.
Sealing True Essence was a bold idea; few would dare to truly attempt it. Once sealed, combat power would undoubtedly suffer greatly. If one rashly activated the seal and unleashed their full power, all previous efforts would be in vain.
If he were still in Northern Jin Kingdom, facing numerous external enemies, Ye Feng would never choose to seal True Essence due to the immense risk; threats were everywhere.
Now that he was in Eastern Continent, Ye Feng had become a blank slate. He hadn't formed any connections with the people of this land, so there were naturally no deep-seated grudges or enemies.
Of course, the scene in Linyuan City had already been completely ignored by him; for Ye Feng, it was just a minor episode in his journey of growth.
Even with the seal of True Essence, he should still be able to maintain a cultivation level around the Sixth Level of the Yuan Wu Realm. Using the Cloud Entry Token to join the local strongest Heavenly Mechanism Sect shouldn't be a problem. With the presence of such a giant like the Heavenly Mechanism Sect behind him, it would be much safer.
"Since someone has succeeded, then I will give it a try. Moreover, my Soul Thought far exceeds that of ordinary people and is nourished by spiritual power; it can be called Soul Thought!"
Thinking of this, Ye Feng gradually gained confidence. He began to attempt to drive his Soul Thought into the Dantian.
The situation in the Dantian was extremely dire.
The Five Element Cyclone had reached a critical point and was on the verge of collapse after multiple attacks from the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool.
Unfortunately, these uncontrollable cyclones continued to impact the central area, trying to dominate the Dantian, with predictable results.
There could be no further delay!
The Soul Thought transformed into an invisible current, forcefully breaking into the turbulent Dantian, surrounded by chaotic and violent Vital Energy turbulence. The Dantian could no longer contain it, and a large amount of Vital Energy surged into the Meridian, flowing out of the body.
Pain spread from the Dantian throughout all of Ye Feng's Meridians.
Sweat began to drip from Ye Feng's forehead like raindrops, and his back was already soaked through; he looked as if he had just been pulled out of water.
"How do I seal the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool? Will sealing it affect the Thunder True Essence?" These questions flashed through Ye Feng's mind. The situation was too urgent for him to think about these answers.
After all, he had once been a guide for Vital Energy. The raging Vital Energy did not launch an attack on Ye Feng's Soul Thought. Even though his Soul Thought was like a small boat in a storm within the turbulent Dantian, it could capsize at any moment.
Soul Thought smoothly approached the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool, which was extremely repulsive to all external forces. In the face of Ye Feng's Soul Thought, it appeared remarkably calm.
"How should I seal it?" Ye Feng gazed at the True Essence whirlpool, which resembled a starry sky being compressed into a ball. He looked at the dazzling starlight and the translucent True Essence particles, momentarily lost in thought.
If it were outside his body, using spiritual power and cultivation techniques to seal a small box, a weapon, or an evil force would not be difficult at all, as he had hundreds of sealing methods. Although most of these methods could not be executed due to his limited realm, they were still within his grasp.
However, now he was inside his own body, facing a force that belonged to him, and what he could utilize was the enigmatic Soul Thought.
Soul Thought has many names: Soul Thought, mental power, Divine Soul Power, and Divine Consciousness. Regardless of how many names it has, they do not change the essence of Soul Thought. It is an unfathomable power that comes from deep within the Divine Soul, even unable to be manifested in a tangible form.
Using Soul Thought for sealing was something Ye Feng had never heard of, whether in his previous life in the cultivation world or in this life on the Divine Martial Continent.
Taking some time to think it through might yield a solution, but what Ye Feng lacked most right now was time.
The pain was becoming increasingly intense, and the situation in his Dantian was worsening.
Forget it; he would treat a dead horse as if it were alive and use Soul Thought like spiritual power!
Embracing such an absurd idea, Ye Feng's Soul Thought unraveled like threads, transforming into slender Spiritual Threads that continuously wound toward the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool.
The Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool seemed to sense something; thunder brewed in the sea of stars but appeared to be unable to find a target for its attack and remained still.
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed there was a possibility of success.
Spiritual Threads continued to increase, like the silk produced by spring silkworms, surrounding the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool and forming a dense silver cocoon.
Time passed, second by second, feeling as long as several centuries. The process of stripping Soul Thought into threads was already extremely taxing, not to mention the need to control the extracted Spiritual Threads with precision to reform them into a cocoon, thereby sealing the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool.
What made Ye Feng feel like he was about to spit blood was that he also had to endure the impact of Vital Energy from his Dantian and Meridian. These impacts manifested as waves of pain that struck at his very soul.
This sensation was indescribable; it felt as if someone was cutting into his thigh with a knife while he had to suppress the excruciating pain to thread the silk into the eye of a needle.
After enduring prolonged torment, he finally approached the end. The Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool had been sealed off by the Spirit Silk Cocoon for two-thirds, and everything seemed promising; it appeared that his first attempt was on the verge of success.
But at that moment, something unusual occurred in the space of the Dantian.
The encroaching Thunder True Essence, due to the blockade of the Spirit Silk Cocoon, began to retract. The Five Element Cyclone, which had been suppressed and struggling for breath under these True Essence, seized the opportunity to counterattack without hesitation.
Boom!
The Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool was surrounded by the Five Elemental Force Cyclone. What had previously posed no threat to Ye Feng's Soul Thought, calm like a still lake, finally erupted again due to its inability to tolerate the threat from lower-level forces.
The terrifying Thunder True Essence surged forth in an instant, causing the surrounding Spirit Silk Cocoon to be affected and explode.
All efforts were in vain!
Ye Feng was momentarily stunned, watching as the Five Element Cyclone was once again forced back by the relentless Thunder True Essence, his heart bleeding.
He had an impulse to immediately disperse these cyclones and abandon the Supreme Technique!
Why practice the Supreme Technique when he could focus on the Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique? He might as well scatter all of you and concentrate solely on the Thunderbolt Technique! Ye Feng roared inwardly in despair.
All the effort he had painstakingly put in was being reduced to ashes by this group of bastards!
Imagine enduring a pain akin to being cut by a knife, finally threading the end of a string through the eye of a needle. All that was left was to pull the string, and it would be done. Just at that moment, someone bumped into you, causing your hand to shake and the needle to fall.
And that person was the one who asked you for help in threading the needle!
Ye Feng truly felt an urge to destroy these Supreme Techniques, but fortunately, his state of mind had indeed improved. His Soul Thought trembled, forcing him to suppress this impulse.
The Five Element Cyclone was once again cornered by the Thunder True Essence, trembling and showing more obvious signs of collapse!
"Starting over is impossible. The Spirit Silk Cocoon blocking the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool has reached a certain level, and those Five Element Cyclones will erupt again. Given their current state, they won't withstand another round of impact!"
Retrieving the shattered Spirit Silk Cocoon, Ye Feng endured his anger and pain, feeling as if his heart were being cut.
