Mystical Dominator of the Nine Heavens - Chapter 36
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Forming a Thunder Mystical Core was harder than the previous Fire Mystical Core as there was already a completed Mystical Core in the Star Ocean. Although it was still weak, it was a real Mystical Core. It would be a tough task to condense it and let the Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy flood into the Star Ocean.
Luckily, the Zhenwu’s Eight Sceneries Scripture was primarily suitable for Mystical Cultivators with several extremes. It included plenty of secret methods which could help to form the second and even more Mystical Cores. Among them, there was one method called the Fire-Generated Thunder which could form the Thunder Mystical Core with the power of the Fire Mystical Core.
However, the method of the Fire-Generated Thunder required high levels of perseverance on the side of the cultivator. If one were not able to bear the pain, not only would the Thunder Mystical Core not be formed but the Fire Mystical Core would also be seriously damaged. The worst possible outcome was that one’s cultivation would fall back to that of the Mystical Learner stage.
Xu Yang was confident in his level of perseverance. He took a deep breath and poured a few drops of liquid on the Feathered Snake’s Shedded Skin.
The liquid was the Light-Spirit Liquid prepared earlier on by Xu Yang. It could stimulate the Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy in the Feathered Snake’s Shedded Skin although it was only an ordinary medicine.
The Light-Spirit Liquid diffused into the Feathered Snake’s Shedded Skin at a speed visible to the naked eye. The grey shedded skin suddenly shone and there were traces of Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy moving about on it. There were also crackling sounds of thunder coming from it continuously.
Xu Yang placed both his hands on the Feathered Snake’s Shedded Skin and felt slight numbness. He launched the Zhenwu’s Eight Sceneries Scripture and introduced the abundant Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy into his body. Then, he infused the energy into the cluster of Thunder Mystical Energy in his Star Ocean.
Xu Yang slowed down the rotation speed of the newborn Fire Mystical Core. He intentionally left a blank space without any Fire Mystical Energy in the Fire Mystical Core, and infused a trace of the mist of Thunder Mystical Energy into it.
It was the most dangerous step of all. If he were to accidentally allow a little bit of liquid Fire Mystical Energy to be jumbled up with the Thunder Mystical Energy, it would cause a vigorous explosion akin to ember falling into boiling oil. In the end, the Star Ocean would be destroyed.
1The Fire Mystical Core expanded gradually once more. Its middle part had been thickened compared to the originally thin and long shape. Traces of the mist of Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy were slowly introduced into it, and it started to rotate.
Xu Yang looked into his Star Ocean and saw that there were mists of Thunder Mystical Energy condensing rapidly. Soon after, the first drop of silver-white liquid appeared in the mist of Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy. Xu Yang could not help but feel happy.
The Zhenwu’s Eight Sceneries Scripture was worthy of being the clan heirloom of the Celestials in the future era. It was wonderful and incredible. One could imagine how incredible the scripture was from the bold hypothesis and clever application shown in the Fire-Generated Thunder method.
‘I still need more Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy!’ Xu Yang was then able to relax, and he started to extract thunder energy from the Feathered Snake’s Shedded Skin. The popping sound of electricity could be constantly heard coming from the skin.
This primitive method of absorption would waste most of the energy stored in the Feathered Snake’s Shedded Skin. However, it was enough for Xu Yang to successfully set up the foundation of Mystical Cultivation by using a small part of the introduced electric energy.
There were dozens of silver-white droplets produced at the blank space of the Fire Mystical Core. They were revolving as the Fire Mystical Core rotated. They gradually gathered into a cluster of silver-white liquid after they had collided with and engulfed each other.
“Rotate!” Xu Yang growled. It was the most crucial moment.
The cluster of silver-white liquid started to revolve as it was driven by the Fire Mystical Core. It started turning faster and faster, and finally a slender silver-white vortex was formed.
The Thunder Mystical Core had been successfully condensed at this step. However, Xu Yang had to go through the final step as it was a second Mystical Core. It was the most dangerous and painful step, separation.
“Separate!”
The red Fire Mystical Core had expanded to its limit. A gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the rapidly rotating core. Afterward, a slender silver-white vortex shot out from the gap.
“Argh… Cough…” Xu Yang’s face was suddenly pale and languished. He felt as if his Star Ocean was heavily punched by a same tier Mystical Warrior when he tried to separate the Mystical Cores. The pain was unimaginable. Fortunately, Xu Yang could bear the pain as his physical strength was high, and his Star Ocean was far tougher than any other Mystical Cultivators of the same stage.
The silver-white Thunder-Extreme Mystical Core no longer held back and had started to absorb the external Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy vigorously after it detached itself from the Fire Mystical Core. It expanded as it was revolving, whereas the Fire Mystical Core was condensing and shrinking. Not long after, the size of two Mystical Cores became the same. They were separated from each other by the other six clusters of Mystical Energy between them.
‘Finally, I did it…’ Xu Yang was perspiring profusely and he was exhausted. The newly formed Thunder Mystical Core released traces of Thunder-Extreme Mystical Energy as it was rotating to temper Xu Yang’s body.
Xu Yang was tired but he knew that he should not be resting. He forced himself to stand up and launch the Dynamic-Static Combined Qi-Introducing Technique. He had to combine the two Mystical Cores to maximize the effect of body tempering.
At first, Xu Yang stumbled and staggered about as if he had been seriously injured but he became more and more energetic after a while. Every single one of his movements brought the sound of crackling bones, and his body became stronger.
“One hundred thirty juns of strength!” Xu Yang punched out freely and a piercing sonic boom sounded, the rock wall was dented with the result of a cobweb-like crack.
A blow with strength exceeding a hundred juns could trigger a sonic booming sound which meant that the speed was faster than that of the speed of sound.
Xu Yang exhaled, and the Mystical Energy in the Feathered Snake’s Shedded Skin had been depleted. It crumbled into small pieces and fluttered to the ground like a butterfly.
‘I have formed the most dangerous second Mystical Core. The formation of the other six extremes’ Mystical Core will not be that challenging for me with my experience in this step.’ Xu Yang’s eyes were filled with determination, he gulped down some water and set his eyes on the Rose Jade.
Midnight, Xu Street, Lin Yuan City.
A group of three men in black stopped in front of Xu Yang’s ruined mansion and communicated with each other using body gestures.
“This is the house.” The man in the front whispered.
“What are we waiting for?” The other two men asked impatiently. “Do you think that the three of us as Mystical Warriors can’t deal with a Mystical Learner together?”
“Of course not, I’m not worried about that.” The man in the front said. “However, our task this time is weird. Miss Qi Xiu has never intervened with the guard team of the dojo. Why is she ordering us to deal with a Mystical Learner this time? She even wants us to kill him on the spot if he were to resist.”
The other men in black answered, “Why do you care so much? Miss Qi Xiu holds the token. We have to obey every order whatever it may be.”
The man in the front sighed. He nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do this.”
At that moment, the sound of someone sneering could be heard. “As I see it, you can’t do anything.” The three men in black were frightened and they turned around.
A guard in green stood in front of them and said coldly, “I’m the Rank-1 guard from Lord Lin Yuan’s manor, Li Feng. I was instructed by Little Official to patrol around here and arrest people who try to break the rules. You three, come with me.”
“Lord Lin Yuan’s manor.” The three men in black looked at each other with traces of terror in their eyes.
