Chapter 1468: Heart in Heart
Well, maybe saying that life took him down a peg wasn’t quite accurate. It was really an unexpected mishap.
His original plan was to refine the god demon heart at a basic level so that he could store it in his internal space. The mishap happened after he finished refining it and was in the middle of storing it in his internal bodily space.
The god demon heart had flown uncontrollably toward his heart. Then, it entered his heart.
It wasn’t replacing it or merging with it. It just... went inside like a bird flying back to its nest.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried to stop it. It wasn’t that his reaction speed wasn’t up to snuff either. In fact, he had responded as soon as he sensed that something was wrong.
After his mastery of the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture” had entered the journeyman level, the inside of his body had turned into a world of its own, and his viscera the gods of this world. If an ordinary object attempted to invade his body, they would instantly be suppressed, melted, and destroyed by his internal world. It would be near impossible for the foreign object to approach his five viscera and six bowels, much less enter his heart.
And yet, the god demon heart was just too powerful. No matter how hard he tried to suppress, seal, or impede it, it was all futile. Unable to stop it for even a millisecond, he could only watch as the heart shrank into a translucent, dark green crystal and slipped into his heart.
If someone were to cut open Ye Qing’s heart right now, they would discover that he had a heart inside his heart.
One heart was dark yellow in color, and the other dark green. One of them resided outside, and the other inside. One of them was good, and the other evil. They did not clash against each other, however. They existed naturally and harmoniously with each other like heaven and earth.
It almost felt like this was how the hearts should have been.
Obviously, Ye Qing was half-scared to death when the god demon heart entered his. He was beyond afraid that it would infest his heart like a parasite, or if the god demon would try to take over him and be reborn. Luckily, none of his worries came true.
Not only that, the god demon heart formed an inexplicable yet profound balance and cycle with his heart after entering it. The two hearts beat in tandem: heavy on the inside, light on the outside; slow on the inside, rapid on the outside. As the two hearts beat in tandem, his dark yellow-colored vitality began channeling unendingly into the god demon heart, repairing its damage and replenishing its loss.
