Chapter 407: One Year Later
The realm of Heaven’s Mandate was about cultivating the violet palace, or the central dantian. Despite being inside a body, it was unfathomably vast and mysterious just like the brain, impossible to be understood completely.
Just ten percent of development was amazing enough. The violet palace was about increasing strength while the brain was about improving intelligence.
It was relatively difficult to widen the violet palace. Each attempt could require up to several dozen years. Because of this difficulty, after each successful step, the cultivator would gain another fifty years of life in addition to the five hundred.
Feiyun sat among the boundless and surging spirit vein with all 360 of his meridians opened. They turned into 360 maelstroms that were crazily absorbing the spirit nearby then refined it into violet energy within the middle dantian.
An ordinary cultivator would only have one to ten strands of violet energy at first-level Heaven’s Mandate. However, Feiyun had around one hundred strands of majestic and billowing violet energy.
When one reached three thousand strands, they would reach the second level. Changing spirit energy into violet energy was a slow process. One thousand strands of spirit energy might turn into one strand of violet energy.
Because of this, it was too slow to rely on absorbing natural spirit energy from the world and refining it into the violet kind.
Thus, one needed to use spirit stones and veins. Without these two things, cultivators would forever be stuck at the first level, unable to convert energy into three thousand strands of violet energy.
This was the reason why people would compete so hard for resources in the cultivation world, fighting to the death even.
Feng Feiyun also researched the boat while converting his energy. This was an ancient divine boat that he saw on the Yellow River, full of rusts and was broken down. Surely something shocking was hidden inside.
However, with his current energy, he could only make it three hundred meters long. If it was any bigger, he would be drained dry.
This wasn’t the vessel’s real size. Its truest form was several thousand meters long, the size of a mountain.
