Zhao Yang also realized this, but the pain was truly unbearable, making him feel as if he were on the brink of death.
Suddenly, a soft popping sound echoed within him. Zhao Yang knew he was about to break through again. Just the day before yesterday, he had just reached the fourth layer of Qi Refinement Stage, and yesterday he had overeaten Spirit Qi Pills, forcing himself into the fifth layer. Now, this damned orb was forcibly injecting Spirit Energy into him, leaving him no choice but to break through from the fifth layer of Qi Refinement Stage to the sixth layer.
Little did Zhao Yang know that his Chaotic Root contained the sum of all Spiritual Roots across time. The Ten Great Spiritual Roots and all other special Spiritual Roots were suppressed before the Chaotic Root. This was the power of the Chaotic Root as the primordial Spiritual Root that opened the heavens and created the earth. The orb would automatically absorb powerful Spirit Energy; it intended to drain Zhao Yang's Spirit Energy but ended up being drawn in instead.
Above the Fish Pond, Long Xiao Wu felt anxious. "My Destiny Spirit Pearl has sensed danger. Could it be that Zhao Yang is in trouble down there?"
Scholar Xiu also wore a worried expression, tugging at the hemp rope in his hands and muttering, "Could he have been eaten by a water monster?"
"Eat your big head! Why don't you jump down and see?" Long Xiao Wu gave Scholar Xiu a light smack on the head.
Scholar Xiu grimaced, covering his forehead. "You go instead! I'm so thin; I'm afraid I won't sink and will just float back up. Besides, I can't swim..."
Long Xiao Wu looked at him speechlessly, but then her heart skipped a beat as metallic scales began to uncontrollably sprout from her skin.
Seeing this scene, Scholar Xiu was so frightened that he let go of the hemp rope and ran away, shouting, "Oh my gosh! The monster is transforming!"
Long Xiao Wu cursed inwardly; this was bad. She shouted for Scholar Xiu to come back; otherwise, once she transformed completely, it would cost him his life.
Hearing her words, Scholar Xiu hesitated but turned back. He saw Long Xiao Wu struggling to suppress herself, her expression pained as she tightly gripped one end of the hemp rope.
Something stirred within him; Scholar Xiu felt no longer afraid. He hurried over to Long Xiao Wu's side and took the rope from her hand, anxiously asking, "What’s wrong? What happened?"
Long Xiao Wu's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, her clothes soaked with blood. The scales that had emerged from her body were slowly retracting under her suppression by half an inch. Even so, she endured the excruciating pain to control her transformation on the surface.
“Zhao Yang, I can barely hold on any longer. If you don't come out soon, I'm going to take the pearl back!” Long Xiao Wu no longer hid her intentions and began to focus her mind to communicate with her Destiny Spirit Pearl.
“Hmm? Xiao Wu?” Zhao Yang suddenly heard Long Xiao Wu's voice underwater and couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. “Wow, Xiao Wu, are you talking through that pearl? I didn't expect communication tools in this world to be so advanced. Hello? Can you hear me?”
Long Xiao Wu almost choked on her own breath; at this moment, Zhao Yang still had the energy to joke around.
“What are you doing? This is my Destiny Spirit Pearl! I sensed danger; it feels like my spirit pearl is being devoured by someone. But strangely, more Spirit Energy is flowing into my Destiny Pearl.”
“Oh, that's me consuming it. To be precise, the pearl is being forcefully absorbed by me. This pearl is quite peculiar; it's stuck to some strange giant rock, frantically absorbing Spirit Energy. I tried to pick it up but ended up getting stuck as well. It might have seen that my Spirit Energy was too low and spat a little back at me. It's endless; I'm about to burst! What did you just say? Destiny Spirit Pearl? Why don’t I have one?”
Long Xiao Wu was too impatient to explain and said urgently, “Then I'm taking the pearl back. I sense a great danger below; you need to come up quickly.”
“Alright, go ahead and take it back. I'm really full,” Zhao Yang replied, letting out a satisfied burp.
Hearing this, Long Xiao Wu immediately began summoning the Destiny Pearl. The Destiny Pearl instinctively struggled to break free and return to its owner upon receiving the call. However, faced with the alluring source of Spirit Energy, it seemed confused and continued to cling to the strange giant object, greedily absorbing energy while ignoring Long Xiao Wu's summons.
“Zhao Yang, the Destiny Pearl isn't responding to my call! Quickly bring my Destiny Pearl back; otherwise, I'll die from Spirit Energy depletion!” Long Xiao Wu was nearly in tears; this was her first time expelling the Destiny Pearl, and she never expected things would go awry.
Zhao Yang was also at a loss. Looking at his skin nearly bursting from the pressure of Spirit Energy, he chuckled wryly and said, “If you can't even retrieve your own thing, how can I get it back? Right now, I'm about to be crushed by Spirit Energy myself! I've been pushed from the fifth level of Qi Refinement Stage to the sixth level; if I don't suppress it soon, I might really explode! With external water pressure and internal Spirit Energy—what do you think is better: an internal explosion or an external one?”
Long Xiao Wu was so angry her stomach hurt. Even at this moment, Zhao Yang could still joke around. Her Destiny Pearl sensed Zhao Yang's unstable condition, prompting her to ask, “I suspect my Destiny Pearl might be reluctant to leave because it encountered the aura of its source. It probably wants to absorb enough energy before leaving. Since you can absorb Spirit Energy from it, try pushing for the next level of Qi Refinement Stage.”
“Push again?” After three days of leveling up once a day, Zhao Yang was already feeling overwhelmed. He had faced life-threatening situations multiple times; after all, with his master's help, it took him three years just to reach the third level of Qi Refinement Stage. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed his vision turning blood-red and his skin starting to crack. He hadn't realized that relaxing for just two breaths would cause him such immense harm; his eyes were now bloodshot and looked incredibly eerie.
The Chaos True Qi within the Dantian erupted completely, beginning to operate frantically without a trace left behind. The Spirit Energy that had been wildly surging inside gradually calmed down, and the cracked skin on his body slowly smoothed out. The immense Spirit Energy was being transformed into strands of Chaos True Qi. Zhao Yang felt his cultivation level rising sharply, but he began to worry that if he advanced too quickly, it might destabilize his foundation and lead to adverse effects on his future cultivation, or even cause him to go astray.
Pop!
"Damn it, I've leveled up again. I'm at the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement Stage now. This is so annoying," Zhao Yang muttered. If anyone from the cultivation world heard this, they would probably strangle him. No one else could level up consecutively like this in just three days; even Long Xiao Wu had to seal her cultivation at the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement Stage just to advance from the third layer to the seventh.
After reaching the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, Zhao Yang clearly felt that Long Xiao Wu's Destiny Pearl was no longer crazily pouring Spirit Energy into his meridians as before. He let out a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the ground, saying, "This feels great!"
Pop!
A faint sound echoed, causing Zhao Yang's nerves to tense up. The pearl stuck to his hand began to frantically inject Spirit Energy into his veins again, this time with a larger flow, causing his entire right hand to swell up. Zhao Yang cried out in alarm, nearly on the verge of tears.
"Xiao Wu! Where are you? What’s going on? You can't do this to me! If you keep pouring Spirit Energy into me like this, I might really explode!"
A pained voice came from the Destiny Pearl. "The Destiny Pearl absorbed Spirit Energy too quickly, causing me to uncontrollably rise to the eighth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage. I can barely control the sealed power within me anymore. You need to think of a way to bring the Destiny Pearl back; otherwise, if it explodes, we’re both done for. Its power is enough to destroy the entire Myriad Spirit Sect."
"What? No way! You brought out an atomic bomb? Are you an alien or something? That's just cruel! I only wanted a flashlight, and you threw me an atomic bomb instead..." Zhao Yang lamented loudly, cursing Long Xiao Wu.
