Chapter 119: Embracing the Divine and Guarding the One, Energy Sinking into the Dantian
Everyone can boast, but some people treat their words as mere hot air, moving on to their next task without a second thought. However, there are those who, after making grand claims, immediately strive to turn those claims into reality. Ye Huan was one of the latter.
Imitating Yu Wuxia, he sat cross-legged. Facing Ye Huan, Yu Wuxia unreservedly began teaching him the fundamental aspects of becoming a Cultivator: "Ye Huan, you must understand that the key to becoming a Cultivator lies in your ability to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This is the most challenging part. Only by perceiving this energy can an ordinary person absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into their body and begin their cultivation journey. After that..."
He rambled on for quite a while before summarizing, "The most important thing for you right now is how to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into your body. Do you understand?"
Nodding in a somewhat confused manner, Ye Huan did not attempt to sense the existence of spiritual energy as Yu Wuxia suggested. Instead, he pulled out the Summoning Book 2012 Arms Encyclopedia, causing Yu Wuxia's eyes to widen in shock as he asked, "Ye Huan, what are you planning to do?"
"Of course, I'm going to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into my body."
As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. Although Ye Huan had no idea how to perceive the faint Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in the environment, he understood one thing: to become a Cultivator, he had to absorb this energy into his body.
Did Ye Huan have Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy? Yes, he had plenty! It was just all stored within the Summoning Book.
Attempting to summon a Desert Eagle into his hand, he wasted no time transforming it into the essence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, creating a small vortex without putting away the Summoning Book.
Looking around, unsure how to draw this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into his body, he steeled himself. In front of Yu Wuxia, Ye Huan clenched his fist and directly stuffed this stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into his mouth!
As the spiritual energy flowed down his throat and into his abdomen, Ye Huan felt a burning pain, as if it were igniting his esophagus. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, forming a dense array like soldiers in formation.
Enduring the discomfort within, Ye Huan raised his head, his brows tightly knitted together. He turned to Yu Wuxia, who was staring in shock, and asked, "What should I do next?"
As the leader of Yuxu Palace, Yu Wuxia swore he had never imagined someone would absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in such a manner, especially by swallowing it whole! However, upon seeing Ye Huan's pained expression, he quickly pushed all thoughts aside and said urgently, "Quickly, embrace the spirit and guard your core, focus your energy in your Dantian, gather your spirit and disperse it throughout your body!"
"Can you say it more simply?! I can't understand a word!!"
Already on the verge of unbearable pain, Ye Huan nearly lost control upon hearing Yu Wuxia's jumbled instructions. After all, he had never been exposed to the practices of cultivators before; how could he comprehend such specialized terminology? Frustrated, he cursed loudly and sprawled out on the ground in a starfish position, gasping for breath.
Ignoring Ye Huan's foul language—there was no time for that—Yu Wuxia pressed his hand against Ye Huan's lower abdomen and instructed him, "Do as I say. Gather all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within you to this point. Once it's concentrated enough, release it suddenly along your meridians throughout your body!"
Struggling to sit up, Ye Huan bit his tongue to clear his mind. Following Yu Wuxia's instructions, he closed his eyes and focused on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy inside him. Soon enough, he sensed a hot current swirling in his stomach, as if it were trying to burst forth.
Unsure how to control this current, all Ye Huan could do was imagine directing it toward the spot Yu Wuxia indicated. Unfortunately, the current acted like a mischievous child—refusing to budge and stubbornly remaining in his stomach.
"Great Buddha, Jade Emperor, Nüwa... please show yourselves! Otherwise, I, Ye Huan, will truly become the first person in this world to be killed by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy..."
Anxious and desperate, Ye Huan called upon every deity he knew; he was just short of setting up an altar to burn incense for them.
Surprisingly enough, perhaps due to his distraction from the pain, he distinctly felt that the current began moving toward the point Yu Wuxia had indicated. It quickly gathered into a spherical shape. Before Ye Huan could give any further commands, it exploded outward, rushing through his limbs with such intensity that he couldn't even let out a scream before losing consciousness.
"A genius! Absolutely a genius! Could it be that I truly underestimated him earlier?"
Beside Ye Huan, Yu Wuxia felt the rebound force in his hands, his face filled with uncertainty. After a moment, he muttered a few words and, not forgetting to place his hand on Ye Huan's forehead, infused him with a trace of his Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
When others' Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy entered his body, Ye Huan instinctively resisted. However, this small amount already indicated that Ye Huan had indeed become a Cultivator. Although his level was low and he had just begun, the entire process lasted less than an hour. In contrast, other Fourth Generation Disciples had taken a full month to achieve the same result!
Retracting his outstretched hand and looking at the now unconscious Ye Huan, Yu Wuxia steeled himself and made a decision. With a slight movement of his feet, he floated away towards the distant Yuxu Palace's Alchemy Room!
Time passed without notice, and when Ye Huan awoke again, the elusive Yu Wuxia had vanished without a trace. This left Ye Huan feeling resentful, thinking to himself that Yu Wuxia was truly inconsiderate. In just three days, he had to disappear multiple times; it was utterly infuriating.
Amidst his complaints, Ye Huan noticed something: his body seemed much lighter, as if he possessed boundless strength.
He stood up, slightly bending his legs before leaping with all his might. With a thud, Ye Huan soared over four feet high—his strength had improved significantly.
"Did I succeed?"
Surprised, he scanned his body but felt no significant changes. Curiosity led him to look around for something to test his newfound abilities. Suddenly, a large stone block measuring thirty centimeters high and fifty centimeters wide caught his attention.
Stepping forward and standing before the stone block, he clenched his fist and summoned all his strength to deliver a powerful strike against the massive rock…

I had planned to write more today, but it turned out that the website was giving out rewards. My friends dragged me out to celebrate—dinner, drinks, and even some smoking—resulting in me losing a quarter of my rewards. They were like a pack of beasts… Tomorrow I will continue to work hard and try to write more…
