Subduing the Cosmic Origin Energy!
South Four Lakes, Xia Fei and Avril's home.
Avril was naturally very happy that Xia Fei had returned from the outer regions of the Star Region. Perhaps it was a habit she had developed over a long period of time, but she could not help but worry whenever Xia Fei left her side. After all, she had experienced Xia Fei's disappearance too many times, and it had already become a habit.
It had been two years, and Xia Fei had not disappeared for two years. Even Avril was very surprised, but she knew that despite Xia Fei's peaceful life now, there was a turbulent undercurrent behind him. A life full of excitement and trouble would always accompany Xia Fei, and two years of peace might be followed by an even longer and longer absence.
It had to be said that Avril truly understood Xia Fei. She had guessed right; a storm was brewing amidst the peace.
"Shall I make you fried paste noodles tonight?" Avril asked with a smile. "Along with your favorite cucumbers and tomatoes."
Xia Fei nodded. Then, I'll leave it to you.
Avril left Xia Fei's training room with a smile, gently closing the door behind her.
Phantom sighed. "You haven't told Avril yet?"
Xia Fei shook his head. I know what I'm doing. Let's talk about how you spent the past two years at Sophie's place.
Phantom laughed. Sophie's really something. This supercomputer actually has an entire encyclopedia about the plants in the universe, as well as detailed methods of picking and refining them. I'm dazzled just by looking at it.
What's the result of Sophie's research on you?
I dunno. Looks like she's given up. She said that only father can explain the existence of an Immortal's spiritual body.
Xia Fei nodded lightly. Phantom said, I don't care about her research. I only care about the information on the medicinal ingredients. Honestly, I haven't wasted the past two years. I've learned more knowledge than my previous life combined.
Phantom was passionate about refining medicine, so he could not extricate himself from the joy of learning.
Xia Fei smiled bitterly. You're having a good time. I've practically done nothing these past two years. Luckily, I have Avril by my side.
The atmosphere was very stifling. Two years without any progress was indeed a sad thing, especially for Xia Fei, who had never slacked off in his cultivation. It was a little cruel.
"If my guess is correct, not only did you not improve, but you even regressed," Phantom said in a deep voice.
Xia Fei nodded. "In the past, I could easily increase my speed to 30,000, but now, I have to put in 200% of my effort. My cultivation has indeed regressed. How do you know all this?"
Phantom said with a gloomy face, "I've already told you that your seventh brain region is severely damaged, and there's always a limit to relying on medicine to advance. The last time you used medicine to forcefully break into the Legendary rank, it left behind a hidden danger, and it's inevitable that you'll regress after overdoing it."
Xia Fei gritted his teeth. He was not willing to let his cultivation come to an end just like that. He still had a long way to go to become a powerhouse.
"Let me take a look at your seventh brain region first."
As soon as he said that, Phantom burrowed into Xia Fei's mind.
…
"It's more serious than I thought." A moment later, Gui Ying said in a deep voice, "But it's not like there's no way to repair it."
"Let me take a look at the Blood Demon Claw's maturation. This Blood Demon Claw might be even stronger than we imagined. I've learned from the information that the Blood Demon Claw might undergo a mutation, becoming a plant that grows repeatedly."
"In other words, it will mature from its growth phase, then return to its growth phase to mature again, but it will never bloom or bear fruit."
Xia Fei took out the transparent petri dish containing the Blood Demon Claw from his spatial ring and asked, "How could that be?"
Phantom answered, "It's just a mutation. Isn't life a single-celled organism that goes through repeated genetic mutations before finally becoming a powerful intelligent lifeform? Plants will also occasionally undergo genetic mutations."
He saw that the color of the Blood Demon Claw was slightly dimmer than before, and there was even a hint of emerald green, no longer as dark red as before.
"That's right. This is a mutated Blood Demon Claw, and it's a good thing for you."
Xia Fei was puzzled. "A good thing? The strong are king in the Law Realm, and it's not a good thing to enter the Law Realm with a mere Legendary rank cultivation. "
Phantom chuckled. "Let me finish. Actually, the Blood Demon Claw isn't enough to guarantee the recovery of the seventh brain region, for the seventh brain region is a special existence to begin with. Furthermore, your injuries are so severe.
"However, a mutated Blood Demon Claw is different. Every time it grows, the medicinal strength it contains will multiply. In other words, if a mutated Blood Demon Claw goes through three cycles of growth, it'll have three times the medicinal strength! The better the medicinal strength, the easier it will be to repair your seventh brain region! "
Xia Fei nodded repeatedly. "Of course, it's good that the medicinal strength is strong, but time waits for no man. The time we agreed on with Yujiang and Yuhua is getting closer and closer."
Phantom lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "According to the law of energy, a powerful White Heart of Spirit will aggravate the mutation of the Blood Demon Claw. You've been using the water of the Southern Four Lakes to water it, promoting its growth. The only way is to increase the energy supply and let the Blood Demon Claw absorb more energy, allowing it to mature faster."
"Will that work? The energy of the White Heart of Spirit is too pure. Absorbing too much won't be good for plants or animals, "Xia Fei worriedly said.
"It won't be a problem. The Blood Demon Claw has already gone through two cycles, so it's no longer as weak as before. It should be able to withstand more energy." Phantom nodded. "Let's go. Our first step is to subdue the White Heart of Spirit in the lake and make it our own!"
…
That night, Avril fell into a deep sleep, satisfied and blissful.
Xia Fei went to the edge of the Southern Four Lakes alone and pressed a button on his combat suit. The oxygen converter suddenly extended, and Xia Fei bit it in his mouth and tried to breathe.
"Ready," Xia Fei said.
"I've learned a few techniques on how to control the White Heart of Spirit from the Sentinel Goddess. As a third-tier Cosmic Origin Energy, the White Heart of Spirit contains pure energy, but it's very difficult to control.
"We must subdue this Origin Energy Stone tonight and use it to catalyze the Blood Demon Claw's maturation, or else this trip to the Law Realm will become abnormally difficult."
Xia Fei nodded. His two legs pushed off the ground and leaped high into the air, diving into the lake.
His two arms quickly pushed against the water, and Xia Fei was like a torpedo that had just been shot out of its barrel, shooting toward the center of the lake.
The lake was very deep, about a thousand meters deep, and it looked even gloomier under the night sky. Xia Fei's protective goggles kept changing colors, allowing him to have better underwater visibility.
From afar, he could see a dilapidated industrial ship lying in the mud. In order to make the precious White Heart of Spirit less conspicuous, Xia Fei had intentionally placed it inside this old industrial ship before sinking it to the bottom of the lake. This way, the White Heart of Spirit's flickering luster would not suddenly appear in the night.
Using the key to open the sealed hatch, Xia Fei entered the industrial ship.
All he saw was the White Heart of Spirit floating in the empty cargo hold. Xia Fei paddled with all his might, trying to get close to it.
The White Heart of Spirit rejected anyone getting close, arrogantly trying to stop Xia Fei. Xia Fei spent a lot of effort to get within five meters of it.
"What comes next is the hardest part. The energy contained in the White Heart of Spirit will impact your meridians, causing you pain. The only solution is to grab it with both hands and let the energy circulate through your meridians, entering through your right hand and returning to the White Heart of Spirit with your left.
"Remember, the energy it contains is immense. Don't even think of intercepting this energy for your own use. Your body isn't strong enough to control the Cosmic Origin Energy. The slightest carelessness will cause your body to split apart from absorbing too much," Phantom solemnly warned Xia Fei.
Xia Fei was enlightened. It turned out that the trick to conquering this powerful energy was to turn his body into a conductor, allowing the energy to circulate through the conductor so that it would not harm his body. Why did he not think of this back then? He had even tried to shake the White Heart of Spirit. Were it not for Peacock Blue's appearance, he might have made a huge mistake. It seemed that Phantom's two years of learning from the Sentinel Goddess had made an astonishing improvement.
"Alright, let me give it a try."
Opening his arms, Xia Fei took off his gloves and used his fingers to touch the energy surrounding the White Heart of Spirit.
* Whoosh! *
A scorching sensation instantly entered Xia Fei's body through his fingers, circulating once through his body before returning to the White Heart of Spirit through his left hand.
As Xia Fei's palms moved forward, the energy became more and more violent, like a surging tide, endlessly pouring into Xia Fei's body.
Xia Fei carefully guided the energy through his body. He was not controlling it but merely guiding it. Any attempt to control this violent energy would only end in disaster!
Xia Fei thought that letting so much energy flow through his body would be extremely painful, but the reality was the exact opposite. His body and meridians very quickly adapted to the huge amount of energy flowing through his body. Not only did he not feel any pain, he actually felt more and more comfortable, warm like a bonfire in winter.
"Excellent. Your body is getting more and more used to the Cosmic Origin Energy. As expected of a warrior's bloodline!" Phantom excitedly said.
Soon, Xia Fei's hands were less than a meter away from the White Heart of Spirit!
With every centimeter he advanced, the energy would multiply!
If the energy flowing through Xia Fei's body before was like a river, then he was now like an ocean! Star River!
Eighty centimeters, seventy centimeters, fifty centimeters!
Xia Fei's fingertips were almost touching the body of the White Heart of Spirit!
His entire body turned red!
Xia Fei was like a piece of burning steel! His entire body was bursting with energy!
The moment his fingertips made contact with the body of the White Heart of Spirit, Xia Fei's entire body shuddered!
Too powerful!
There were no words to describe this feeling of power!
If he could use such a huge amount of energy for his own use, Xia Fei felt that he could destroy a planet with a single punch!
"Danger!" Phantom suddenly yelled.
Though the White Heart of Spirit's energy was strong, it was not stable. Its luster flickered, and when it was dark, the energy would decrease, while when it was bright, it would be extremely violent!
When Xia Fei's fingertips made contact with the body of the White Heart of Spirit, it was dark, so the energy was not that strong, but the next second, when it was bright, the energy surged!
"Hurry and let go!" Phantom shouted without any regard for anything else.
How could sound compare to the speed of light? Too much energy had already rushed into Xia Fei's body!
"Release!"
No one could have imagined that Xia Fei would actually produce a resonance with the Cosmic Origin Energy at this critical moment!
All the hairs on his body stood on end!
Just as the energy was about to tear Xia Fei's body apart, his pores suddenly opened, and he actually managed to expel it!
No one had taught Xia Fei this, and it was completely an instinctive reaction!
In a few breaths, the White Heart of Spirit was firmly grasped in Xia Fei's hands.
