What should I do?
Time was passing, and the Vital Energy within him was also depleting, leaving little time for thought.
However, Ye Feng soon came up with a bolder idea!
He would split the Spirit Silk Cocoon into seven parts while simultaneously sealing off Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Wind, the Five Element Cyclone, Earth Elemental Dan, and Thunder Elemental Vortex.
Although Earth Elemental Dan had remained neutral and appeared stable for a time, Ye Feng could not guarantee that it wouldn’t cause trouble at the last moment.
But was it too difficult to transform one sewing needle into seven?
Soul Thought retreated to Nirvana Palace and forcibly activated the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique. Threads of spiritual power permeated throughout his body, beginning to repair the damaged Meridian. The pain slightly eased, and Ye Feng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit.
"This time, I must be fully prepared!" Ye Feng reminded himself.
Soul Thought received nourishment in Nirvana Palace and grew stronger again, forming an oval-shaped silver energy mass that resembled spiritual power.
Ye Feng understood that this was the Soul Thought in an introspective state; true Soul Thought would not have any form of manifestation.
Taking a deep breath, Soul Thought sank back into Dantian.
The Dantian was still in disarray; the scene inside was something Ye Feng could hardly bear to look at.
Weaving silk and cocooning, using One Heart in seven ways was undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge for Ye Feng.
Fortunately, his Soul Thought was powerful enough, far exceeding that of an ordinary person. Even if it were divided into seven parts, it would still be sufficient to support him. Coupled with a resilient mindset, he had endured numerous setbacks and trials since arriving in this world.
All these advantages combined allowed him the possibility of simultaneously sealing seven types of power.
After a moment of contemplation, his mind finally returned to a calm state, and the intense pain in his Dantian and Meridian seemed to fade away, no longer affecting him in the slightest.
"Every step must be taken with care. The Thunder True Essence is the most massive; the cocooning process needs to be quick. The Earth Elemental Dan comes next and can be slightly slower. The Five Element Cyclone can take even more time. Once some of the Thunder True Essence has been retracted, I will proceed to cocoon and seal."
Using Spirit Silk Cocoon to isolate the conflict between the seven powers was Ye Feng's next plan.
This time, success was the only option; failure would mean the complete disappearance of his Five Element Cyclone, and from then on, he would never be able to condense it again. The Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique would become a joke.
In his Dantian, there would only be room for Thunder True Essence and Earth Elemental Dan at most.
Re-cultivating the Supreme Technique of the five elements to condense Qi Refinement cyclone?
Impossible. A wasted energy cyclone meant wasted cultivation. If the initially condensed cyclone were destroyed, it would be equivalent to losing that level of cultivation. Even if he practiced again, he would never be able to condense another cyclone.
Danger was imminent, yet Ye Feng had no choice but to treat himself as an outsider. He steadied his mind, and his Soul Thought transformed into threads once more, first wrapping around the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool.
As the Spiritual Threads began to cocoon again, the Thunder True Essence that had been rampaging throughout his Dantian gradually retracted.
The Five Element Cyclone stirred once more, eager to counterattack!
"Divide!" Ye Feng shouted inwardly, and the Soul Thought energy suddenly trembled, splitting into six fine threads that entwined upwards.
The restless Five Element Cyclone was cocooned and sealed by the Spiritual Threads, finally settling down. The Earth Elemental Dan remained inactive, but Ye Feng did not let his guard down; the speed of the Spiritual Threads forming the cocoon even surpassed that of the Five Element Cyclone.
The Spiritual Threads spread throughout the entire Dantian space, and Ye Feng seemed to transform into a master, simultaneously manipulating seven fine threads to perform an extremely precise and complex task.
The intense pain in the Dantian gradually subsided, and the seven competing forces became increasingly calm.
After a long period of torment, Ye Feng maintained his focus, his movements neither fast nor slow, his mind as stable as a mountain.
The Five Element Cyclone was first completely enveloped by the cocoon formed by the Spiritual Threads, followed by the Earth Elemental Dan, and finally the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool.
Time passed without Ye Feng being aware of it; within the Dantian, there was no concept of time. It could have been hundreds or thousands of years of torment, while only a few nights passed outside. Alternatively, it could have been a fleeting moment while a thousand years elapsed in the outside world.
"Step one is finally complete."
Ye Feng looked at the various silver silk cocoons and let out a sigh of relief.
After being sealed by the Spirit Silk Cocoon, the long-standing turmoil in the Dantian had completely vanished. The Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool no longer insisted on occupying the center position in the Dantian; guided by the Soul Thought, it slowly drifted down to one side of the Dantian, quiet as usual.
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a hint of worry. If the Thunder True Essence were affected and fell in rank, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, although the Thunder True Essence within the Spirit Silk Cocoon appeared dormant like a lifeless object on the surface, it actually exhibited extremely strong True Essence fluctuations and was not affected at all.
"Right now, there is no Vital Energy or True Essence in my Dantian, as if I were an ordinary person who has never practiced any Supreme Technique. However, as long as I break open a Spirit Silk Cocoon, I can unleash powerful strength directly!"
The second step is to try breaking open several Spirit Silk Cocoons and release their energy.
Ye Feng now understands that whenever he practices a certain type of Supreme Technique, the Vital Energy cyclone representing that technique will attempt to occupy the dominant position in the center of his Dantian.
Previously, the cyclones and Essence Pill within him belonged to Vital Energy, so they coexisted harmoniously without any conflict.
Once the Thunder Elemental Essence is refined into a Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool, it will not be so easy to remove this higher-level Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool from its central throne in the Dantian.
Currently, the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool has been sealed by the Spirit Silk Cocoon and is temporarily in a dormant state, no longer responding to external stimuli. The Earth Elemental Dan and other elemental cyclones will not have any disputes either.
The first one to break open is the Earth Elemental Dan's cocoon. It remains stable as a mountain, showing no impulse to occupy the central position of the Dantian. Ye Feng feels that it truly represents the heavy and stable Earth Elemental Power.
Next are the Wind Element Cyclone, Gold Element Cyclone, Wood Element Cyclone, Water Element Cyclone, and Fire Element Cyclone—these five cyclones that have caused him considerable trouble.
As soon as the Five Element Cyclone breaks free, it charges toward the central position of the Dantian with great momentum but ends up missing its target, finding no expected "enemy."
To them, the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool seems to have vanished; without an enemy, the Five Elemental Force Cyclone appears to lose interest in the central position of the Dantian. For them, as long as they are all Vital Energy, it makes no difference who dominates the entire Dantian.
The hidden dangers regarding Supreme Technique have finally been resolved, yet Ye Feng cannot feel happy about it.
The Thunder True Essence cannot be used again unless it is a matter of life and death. Once he breaks open the cocoon, although he can return to the Gangwu Realm, his Dantian will be thrown into chaos, forcing him to abandon all Supreme Techniques except for the Thunderbolt Technique.
Soul Thought consumed a full third of its energy due to the process of unraveling, which was used to seal the Thunder Element True Essence Whirlpool. This required long-term maintenance and could not be replenished.
In other words, after this period of seclusion, Ye Feng's cultivation had not only stagnated but actually declined. He was currently at the Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level, and he would need to remain within the Origin Martial Realm for a long time. As a result, Soul Thought was also affected, only able to cover an area of several Kilometers, far less than the nearly ten thousand meters it could previously reach.
However, Ye Feng understood that this was a process of accumulating strength before making a breakthrough. Once the Vital Energy from the other six elements was fully refined into True Essence, he would gain unimaginable terrifying power.
With his initial entry into the Gangwu Realm, crushing all strong practitioners within the Gangwu Realm would be absolutely feasible.
Ye Feng exited his introspective state and let out a breath.
His entire body was soaked with sweat, and even the ground he sat on was dampened significantly, indicating the intense torment he had endured earlier.
Fortunately, the ordeal had finally ended. Having persevered through it, it transformed into wealth—a good medicine for tempering his mindset.
After exhaling deeply, Ye Feng lightly swung a fist towards the mountain wall beside him.
Boom!
A muffled sound echoed; there were no falling stones or even a hint of dust stirred up. His fist sank into the mountain wall by half an arm's length, as if it had submerged into water.
"After all, I was once an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm. Although I have fallen in rank now, my mastery over Vital Energy is not something that practitioners at the Origin Martial Realm can compare with. However, the density of my Vital Energy is still somewhat lacking. No matter how high my skills are, they cannot overcome the absolute gap in power. A practitioner at the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm can contend with me, but facing a Ninth Layer practitioner would be quite difficult. If it's an exceptionally talented genius warrior, in my current state, I might not even be able to defeat a genius practitioner at the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm."
Feeling a slight bitterness in his heart, Ye Feng shook his head and quickly brushed aside these negative emotions.
"While I may not be able to defeat them, for martial artists below the Gangwu Realm, it is extremely difficult to injure me, and killing me is out of the question. My physical body has been tempered by True Essence and spiritual power, making it comparable to a Treasure Artifact; blades and swords cannot harm me. Additionally, with the Wind Control Technique, my speed can match that of top-tier martial artists at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm."
"Moreover, the bottleneck of the Gangwu Realm no longer exists for me. Now, I only need to refine and absorb a large amount of Vital Energy, transitioning from quantitative change to qualitative change. The path ahead is smooth. Once I refine it into True Essence, I can return to the Gangwu Realm. Furthermore, the Heaven and Earth Origin Power in the Eastern Continent is much denser than that in the Northern Jin Kingdom, and the medicinal pills needed for cultivation should also be easier to obtain. Although I need to refine seven types of Vital Energy simultaneously, it won't be much slower than when I was at Dragon Tiger Sect. If I have enough medicinal supplies, it might even be faster."
Realizing this, Ye Feng's mood instantly improved. After all, he was not one to dwell on sorrow; with the problem resolved, he planned to get moving.
He had no idea how long it had been or whether he would make it in time for the entrance examination of Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Ye Feng's thoughts wandered.
Upon reaching the cave entrance and surveying his surroundings, he utilized his Soul Thought to easily find the right point of impact and smashed it with a punch.
The rubble kicked up by Little Gold was at least two or three meters thick and covered by a layer of demonic power. Without pinpointing the weak points within that demonic power, it would be impossible for him to break through with his current cultivation level.
"Little Gold is being overly cautious!" Ye Feng chuckled.
Suddenly, faint voices came from outside the cave; it seemed a group of martial artists was passing by and had been drawn to this location.
"How could anyone come to a place like this? And there are quite a few of them," Ye Feng pondered thoughtfully as he retreated several dozen steps back into the depths of the cave.
