Inside the tranquil secret room.
The secret room was bare, devoid of any unnecessary decorations or furniture. Only a cold stone bed stood silently in a corner.
On the stone bed, Hong Yu sat cross-legged in the posture of Five Hearts Facing Heaven.
Before him, a small, black Treasure Tower floated quietly, enveloped in a faint black light. The small tower spun ceaselessly, and as it did, the dark light surrounding it grew ever more potent. It gradually condensed, and a black-and-white Tai Chi Map materialized in the air.
HUMMM!
The Profound Celestial Tower suddenly trembled, and the Tai Chi Map transford into two Black Dragons that charged directly into Hong Yu's body.
CLANG!
It was as if a bridge had been forged.
The two Black Dragons forged a tight connection between Hong Yu's Lower Dantian and the Profound Celestial Tower.
'Hong Yu, quickly circulate the Sea Absorption Technique! I'll draw the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Array for you right now,' Little One's excited voice echoed in his mind.
Hong Yu nodded sharply.
"'The sea accepts a hundred rivers; its greatness cos from its capacity...'"
As he recited the ancient, abstruse incantations, Hong Yu's hands ford a series of Seal Techniques. They shifted from left to right, alternating between illusion and reality, emitting an indescribably profound fluctuation. A faint black glow gradually spread from his lower abdon, enveloping his entire body until he resembled a black cocoon of light.
GURGLE GURGLE GURGLE!
A series of strange sounds emanated from within the Profound Celestial Tower.
It felt like an extrely thirsty traveler who had just discovered an oasis and was desperately gulping down water.
「anwhile…」
Inside the fourth floor of the Hong Family's Scripture Pavilion.
On the now-empty stone platform, a Spiritual Eye resembling a black pearl slowly floated up. The Spiritual Eye was impossibly deep, as if it could pierce through the void of eternity with a single glance, yet it was also like a black hole that could devour all creation. It seed to have sensed sothing. It rotated, its profound gaze turning in Hong Yu's direction.
Suddenly, a sharp Devouring Power emanated from the Spiritual Eye.
HUMMMMM!
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the surrounding space trembled violently, growing chaotic and agitated.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
The Four Symbols Divine Beast Array Spirits materialized simultaneously, their cold, sharp gazes fixed on the Spiritual Eye at the center.
These Array Spirits were the guardians of the Four Symbols Spirit Capturing Array. They would launch ferocious attacks against any being that threatened the Grand Array. Even a Celestial Soul Realm expert would be reduced to ash before the Four Symbols Array Spirits. But this ti, facing the Spiritual Eye, they discovered just how powerless they were.
The Four Symbols Array Spirits launched a powerful, simultaneous attack, only for it to be completely devoured the instant it touched the Spiritual Eye.
As it devoured the energy, the hundreds of years' worth of stored Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was also rapidly consud. This caused the power of the entire Four Symbols Spirit Capturing Array to diminish greatly, and even the once-solid forms of the Four Symbols Array Spirits began to turn illusory.
Back to Hong Yu!
The Spiritual Eye devoured the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the Four Symbols Spirit Capturing Array and transmitted it back to the Profound Celestial Tower. The tower then refined and purified the Qi before injecting it back into Hong Yu's body. Through this nearly endless, force-fed style of cultivation, akin to a direct Enlightennt, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in Hong Yu's Lower Dantian beca increasingly vast and abundant.
Normally, after the first compression, it would have taken him three months of nonstop absorption to refill his Lower Dantian.
But now, it was full in a re ten minutes.
'Hong Yu, hurry up and start the second refinent!' Little One prompted.
'Okay!'
Hong Yu began the Nine Refinents of the Primordial Spirit.
Having gone through the process once before, Hong Yu was much more adept at refining the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in his Lower Dantian. After half an hour of effort, his body jolted. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that had just filled his Lower Dantian was compressed again, shrinking to two-ninths of its previous volu.
Within that reserve of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, now two-ninths of its full capacity, two Qi Vortices slowly revolved.
'Keep going!'
The Profound Celestial Tower continued to draw a ceaseless stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the Four Symbols Spirit Capturing Array, funneling it into Hong Yu's Lower Dantian. With this rapid replenishnt, he continued to progress through the refinents. He believed that before long, he would reach Five Vortices, or perhaps an even higher Level.
「Just as Hong Yu was furiously increasing his strength, inside Thick Virtue Residence…」
Hong Tiande was like an enraged lion, smashing everything in the room. A heavy, cold, and violent aura perated all of Thick Virtue Residence. The oppressive pressure of his presence made the servants outside the door tremble in fear. They had no idea who could have provoked their master into such a terrifying rage.
'Bastard! Bastard!'
Hong Tiande's eyes were bloodshot. He gripped his hair tightly, his face twisted and terrifying. 'Old bastard! Your grandson died because he wasn't good enough! You're too much of a coward to get revenge on that little bastard yourself, but you dare to curse at ? Fuck you, Hong Tianxiao, you old bastard!'
The "old bastard" Hong Tiande was cursing was the Hong Family's Fifth Elder, Hong Tianxiao.
Just thinking about Hong Tianxiao filled him with rage.
After Hong Yu left the Scripture Pavilion, Hong Tiande had gone to find Hong Tianxiao to discuss how to deal with him. But Hong Tianxiao had just berated and interrogated him, finally slapping Hong Tiande hard across the face and blaming him for getting Hong Hu killed.
As for dealing with Hong Yu? Hong Tianxiao had made his stance perfectly clear: "Hong Yu is now a disciple of the Cyan Nether Sword Sect. It is absolutely impossible for you to use the family's power against him. Don't drag into this ss. If you want to go after him, do it yourself!"
Since returning from his eting with Hong Tianxiao, Hong Tiande had lost count of how many priceless antiques he had smashed.
