Chapter 666: A Supernova in the Dantian
A wry smile curved Adam’s lips as he scratched his head inside the cultivation chamber.
Xie Lian grinned at him by the doorway. "I can’t wait to see you breakthrough. The palace formations cruelly need some refreshing, and I somehow believe you’ll be the first to reach the required realm to fix them."
He rolled his eyes. "Yeah. Right. Definitely not because you’re impatient to enjoy their effects, see me build the bastion, or witness firsthand how strong I’ll become."
She twirled a lock of purple hair in front of her broadening grin. "Touché. Anyway, you know them best." She slid the door close, waving her slender finger and chirping. "See you later, and good luck with your cultivation."
As the door closed, the outside sounds vanished. No more footsteps, water dripping from the bamboo bridges into the gardens’ ponds, or wind ruffling chiselled bushes. Only calm.
Amidst the deafening silence, he almost sank into his dark purple and gold cushion, the softness addictive. A relaxing wave instantly washed away his intruding thoughts, and qi rushed toward him.
That was why Xie Lian wanted him to restore the formations sooner. Even if those in the cultivation rooms functioned at minimum capacity, they were of tremendous help. So, how much more qi would they gather after he did?
’Enough for void refinement realm experts to break through.’ He chuckled, then focused on his dantian.
It was still a barren void, yet a cluster of stars pulsed in the distance as if defying the ever-present darkness to swallow it. ’Time to get you a few friends.’
Just like yesterday, he folded a long wisp of qi until the energy brightened. After a million times and several repeats, a new cluster dispelled the darkness by the first one.
As part of the Vermillion Bird’s seven mansions, they each had significance and brought benefits. For example, the one he had formed before Misha fetched him for yesterday’s party was the chariot, which symbolised the journey of cultivation. Its effects helped with focus—nothing major but it sounded right to start with it.
