Reaching his room, Feng Li couldn't help but still think about the young girl he had met in the restaurant. He had to agree that she was a real deal as far as her beauty was concerned. What he found strange was that the girl still wanted to befriend him even after finding out that he was the alleged 'trash' of the Feng family. But despite all these, he saw sincerity in the girl's eyes when she asked him to be friends.
Casting all these thoughts aside, he immediately entered the nine-floor divine pagoda. He appeared on the same platform that he had appeared on the two times he had been in the pagoda. The space was still the same, with beauty which could rival heaven itself. He quickly sat down and closed his eyes as his heavenly soul appeared above his head as it span devouring all the spiritual energy around at a speed that could shame all martial cultivators.
As Feng Li's heavenly soul was devouring the spiritual energy around him, the Qi slowly entered his body and moved through his meridians. What was so surprising was that as the spiritual Qi reached the meridians, it transformed into golden essence, which was emitting a strong, ancient, and desolate aura. The golden essence quickly moved towards his dantian. When the golden essence reached the dantian, the slumbering decalights beasts abruptly woke up and started devouring all the golden spiritual essence.
The process continued as the decalight beasts continued devouring all the golden spiritual essence.
After one day of cultivation, Feng Li opened his eyes. A sharp golden light passed through his eyes. "I wonder what these beasts on my dantian are, all the energy has been sucked dry by them. It is like they are connected with my dantian or something. I don't understand at all what they are." Under normal circumstances, after one reaches five to six years of age, they are supposed to have started their cultivation.
It is a basic norm in Emerald City. Almost all the youths who were five to seven years old were mostly at the first level of the soul transformation realm, a seven-year-old youth who was at the second level was considered a genius, while those who managed to reach the third level… were considered to be a demon, if not. However, there has never been one, at least for the last one thousand years. Taking Feng Bu for example, he is twelve years old and he is now in the early fourth level.
The soul transformation realm has nine minor realms. Furthermore, it has divisions; the first division was from the first to the third realm, while the second was from the fourth to the sixth, and the last one from the seventh to the ninth. The gap between the first to the second level is negligible, but the gap between each divide was like comparing heaven to the earth. A third level may be able to crash a second level just like crashing an ant, but to a fourth level, he may collapse in the first move if not a few.
However, this is also normal as one breaks through to the first level, their strength is usually 250kg at the second level, the strength is equivalent to a 1000kg while in the third level one will acquire 2000kg worth of strength but the trend changes when one climbs to the forth level as one acquires 4000kg of strength!
At this time, as Feng Li opened his eyes, a smile hung on his handsome face as he slowly said, "I have finally reached the mid-first layer of the heavenly indestructible divine physique." After saying this, he stood up as he clenched his fingers into a fist, as crackling sounds came forth while he punched into the air. The space around him shook slightly as ripples and vibrations came forth from the platform on which he stood.
"Well, from the first and the results just now, it seems like I now possess around 5000kg of strength. This level of strength is comparable to the peak fourth-level soul transformation realm. If I am to go all out, I can assure myself that if I activate the immortal blood, it can grant me 3000kg of strength, which can allow me to fight an early fifth-level soul transformation cultivator. This is so great."
When he was done checking his level of improvement, he turned around and gazed into the distance, and slowly bowed and said "senior can I have a talk with you."
"Brat, you finally remembered me now. Haha, I thought you would leave without greeting this venerable. I am all ears, talk." The voice slowly said.
"I have several questions that I have no answers to as of late. I want to ask a senior to help me in this." Feng Li said with a serious tone in the direction from which the voice was coming.
"Ask me I might have the answers you are seeking, for a young man like you to have holes in your way is not beneficial at all as it may set hills in your way." The voice sounded again.
"Thank you senior for the concern, senior despite having cured my broken meridians, there is another thing that is really troubling me." Feng Li said slowly.
"What is troubling you, brat?"
"Senior, do you mind checking my dantian to see for yourself?" Feng Li said to the voice.
"Ok!" Said the voice.
At this time, Feng Li could feel a strong and mighty power penetrating inside his body as it slowly uncovered everything as though he were completely naked. Feng Li was astonished as he could clearly remember that when the elders wanted to find out what was wrong with him, they had to collaborate as a group, but this senior could do the same alone. In Feng Li's judgment, he could feel that the power that the man had cast into him was several times stronger than the combined strength of all the elders together. Also, the level of control the senior had was on a profound level, as there was no leakage at all.
After a few breaths of time, the senior retracted his senses inside Feng Li's body. Then silence fell inside the pagoda as no sound could be heard at the moment. Feng Li was also quiet as he did not want to cut free the mysterious voice, as he was sure that he was still trying to figure out whatever he might have found out.
"sigh"
"You said that there was a problem in your dantian, right?" At this time, the mysterious voice slowly said to Feng Li.
"Yes, when I first checked my dantian, I discovered that strange beasts were surrounding my dantian. At first, I thought that it might be a curse on me, but as I came to understand more about them, I have realised that they are not causing any direct harm to me, but the harm is indirect, if I may say so. Whenever I absorb spiritual Qi into my body, I expect that it would reach my dantian at the very least, but in my case, it's entirely different." Feng Li hurriedly explained himself.
"How different? Tell me more about it." The mysterious voice seemed piqued by what Feng Li was saying.
"Senior, every time I absorb Qi into my body, these ten mysterious beasts seem to devour all the Qi completely dry, leaving my dantian devoid of any Qi." Feng Li seemed worried as he explained his situation to the mysterious voice.
"Mysterious beasts you say…. they devour your Qi…huh…" the old mysterious voice seemed to be in deep thoughts at this moment as he was going through his memories of any kind of scenario he might have come across in the past but to no avail.
"Could it be that…"
But the mysterious person immediately denied that possibility and continued to ponder, but then shook his head and slowly said. "This venerable has come across many things in the eons I have been alive, but I can't be so sure as to what is causing your circumstance, but what I can be sure of is that those beats cannot cause you any harm, but are rather beneficial. I am not sure exactly how, I am not clear at this moment. As such, you don't have to be worried about those beasts on your dantian. What I can't understand is that those beasts you claim to be on your dantian, I couldn't sense them at all, it is like you are the only person who could sense them, that's why I can't say more about it." The voice said as it was still in deep thought.
"Senior, you mean to say that even you couldn't detect the presence of those divine decalight beasts on my dantian?" Feng Li asked in confusion.
"Divine decalight beasts? What an interesting name you gave them, ha ha." The voice laughed sarcastically.
"Yes, senior, since there are ten of them with different colours and shining with light, I chose that name for them." Feng replied as he wilyly smiled.
"That name is quite fitting for them, brat. Now you should struggle to increase your strength quickly and reach high levels." The mysterious voice said with an encouraging tone.
"I will, senior, should feel relieved in that. However, is the senior unable to leave this space?" Feng Li asked the question that had been I his mind all this time.
"About leaving this place, I can't leave this place. Brat, you think you can trick this venerable? Your question is set in a way to coerce me into revealing myself to you, isn't it? I was wondering when you would ask. Of course, I can show myself to you since you're my new master." The old man slowly said.
"No …. Wait, what do you mean by me being your new master?" Feng Li asked as he was surprised by the mysterious voice revelation.
"Brat, anyone who gets his hands on this treasure is by all means the owner. And all the treasures in the seven treasures list have an artifact spirit and happen to be its spirit so technically iam your servant and you my master." The old mysterious voice slowly explained.
