"Elemental Energy Lake!" The Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit spoke in Chen Hao's mind with faint excitement.
"You mean … this lake water is liquefied by elemental energy?"
"You can say that … but it's not entirely liquefied elemental energy. If there's so much of it, wouldn't it be great? It's just that a lot of it has fused in. Don't waste time, there are only 15 days. Quickly enter the lake and cultivate. There are many benefits! Absorbing and tempering the energy is secondary. The main thing is to comprehend the process of condensing from a gaseous state into a liquid state. If you can comprehend it, I believe your cultivation speed will increase by a few times! Haha … This time, I can finally have a good meal as well … "At the same time that the Treasure Hunting Sword Spirit spoke, numerous tentacles had already impatiently escaped from between Chen Hao's brows and extended towards the Origin Energy Lake.
15 days later, the entire area of the ruins would collapse, and it would be the time to move on to the next area of the ruins. The Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit had already found out about this from Chen Hao.
After the Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit awakened, besides devouring the higher grade Five Element Spirit Pills and Spirit Crystals, he didn't ask Chen Hao to give him any medicinal pills to devour. He was clearly aware that this kind of low grade energy wasn't very useful to him. Moreover, Chen Hao's selfless spirit caused his medicinal pills to always be at a moderate level. How could the Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit have the nerve to ask for them? If it affected Chen Hao's cultivation, then the losses would outweigh the gains. Only when Chen Hao quickly advanced to a higher level and was able to absorb higher grade energy would he be able to recover in the fastest time.
However, with such a vast amount of energy now, Chen Hao wouldn't be able to absorb it completely even if he took a year or so. Wouldn't it be a pity to waste it?
…
Rumble!
Splash!
The torn clothes on Chen Hao's body instantly exploded, and he jumped naked into the essence energy lake, causing a huge splash as he directly sank into the essence energy lake.
"What pure and condensed energy …"
At the instant he jumped into the lake, Chen Hao instantly clearly felt the extremely pure and condensed energy within the lake water. This was the first time Chen Hao had encountered such powerful energy.
After a short moment of shock, Chen Hao sat up cross-legged in the water, and his mind became clear as he immersed himself in cultivation and comprehension.
Hiss hiss hiss!
All the pores on Chen Hao's body opened up, and his meridians, which were several times wider than a normal person's, instantly began to madly absorb the pure and condensed liquid Yuan Power from the lake water. In a short span of ten minutes, he had reached the limit of Yuan Power that his body could withstand. What shocked Chen Hao even more was that after this liquid energy entered his body, it strangely began to stagnate, causing him to be unable to absorb even the slightest bit of it. Moreover, his dantian felt an intense pain as if it was about to explode.
"Liquid essence energy vaporized … Because of my current realm and the fact that I have yet to comprehend how to liquefy essence energy, my dantian is unable to store liquid essence energy. This is just like how elixirs must be refined and absorbed … The attribute of the energy has not changed, only the form of the energy has changed. Just like the three forms of water, this is reversible …"
Chen Hao ignored the pain in his Dantian and stopped devouring energy. Instead, he focused on tempering his Dantian. His mind was immersed in the tempering process as he felt the subtle transformation of liquid energy into a gaseous state.
This transformation process was not like the change in temperature from water vapor to ice, nor was it purely based on brute force compression. Instead, it was a type of mysterious Dao. When a practitioner's state of mind had yet to comprehend this type of "Dao", it was impossible for them to transform the gaseous Yuan Power in their dantian into a liquid state no matter what. Compression could only make the gaseous Yuan Power more condensed. However, it would never be able to liquefy it.
Time passed by minute by minute …
While Chen Hao's mind was immersed in comprehending the transformation of Yuan Power, the Treasure Hunting Sword's tentacles extended far away, devouring the vast and boundless Yuan Power in the lake. It did not devour near Chen Hao, but stayed far away, fearing that it would affect Chen Hao's absorption.
One day, two days …
Time quietly passed as Chen Hao continued to comprehend. Chen Hao repeatedly devoured some of the liquid energy. After the liquid energy was completely vaporized, he would devour it again. He was repeating this process nonstop. On the third day, Chen Hao, who had already reached peak rank eight Martial Emperor, was simply unable to break through the bottleneck at all. In fact, he did not even cause much of a disturbance as he successfully broke through to rank nine Martial Emperor. That sort of sensation was like an extremely thin membrane that was being gently touched by surging Origin Energy time and time again. Just like that, Chen Hao quietly broke through it.
Chen Hao was not pleasantly surprised in the slightest. In fact, he did not even care about it. His mind was still completely focused on comprehending the profoundness of the transformation of Yuan Power. The only thing he felt was that the amount of liquid energy he devoured every single time was increasing. The amount of time it took for the Yuan Power to transform into a gaseous state in his dantian became longer and longer.
Furthermore, Chen Hao would have to endure the extreme pain of his dantian exploding and his body exploding every single time. He would have to forcibly devour a bit more of Yuan Power and continuously challenge his limits. This sort of crazy state stunned even the Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit. It truly did not understand why Chen Hao's spirit of self-torture was so powerful. However, it must be admitted that Chen Hao's crazy cultivation method was most definitely astonishing.
This was especially true for Chen Hao, who did not possess a powerful spirit power cultivation method. For martial cultivation, Chen Hao possessed the valiant Longevity Secret Art. For intent, he still did not possess a truly powerful cultivation method. Fortunately, his two barriers were now one. Furthermore, they complemented each other and allowed him to increase his strength at the same time. However, it was undeniable that Chen Hao's cultivation method in intent was an important factor that restricted his increase in strength. However, the pain Chen Hao was currently enduring that ordinary people would not be able to endure was undoubtedly endlessly beneficial to his tempering of his spirit power.
…
On the tenth day of Chen Hao's training, the thousands of cultivators in the historical remains had already turned the entire historical remains upside down. Many people had obtained the qualifications to enter the historical remains. Compared to Chen Hao, the historical remains that some people had entered were more powerful, and the benefits that they had obtained were similarly more astonishing. However, the majority of the disciples who had entered the historical remains, compared to the Elemental Energy Lake that Chen Hao was in, was much more inferior.
These things could only be encountered by chance. Even if they were not ancient historical remains, they were still condensed by experts. Similarly, there were also opportunities and luck that could only be encountered by chance.
Even more people did not even have the opportunity to enter the historical remains. They could only constantly plunder spiritual herbs and cultivate within a limited time. Fights and conflicts would occur from time to time.
…
Fifteenth day. It was also the last day that the cultivators would stay in the historical remains. The moment the energy barrier collapsed, it was the moment that everyone would once again enter the Endless Sea. Everyone was clear about this point. From the moment the training began, the entire training process had been completely fixed. The departure time for every section and every level was completely the same.
…
Splash …
With a splash of water, the naked Chen Hao soared into the sky and flew out from the Elemental Energy Lake. His sparkling and translucent skin did not have the slightest flaw. Just by looking at the degree of the skin, it was afraid that it was not inferior to a woman with better skin. Fortunately, Chen Hao's streamlined, plump, and solid muscles were filled with the unique masculine aura of a man. A certain part of his body was also valiant and formidable. He had become a real man. Otherwise, his skin that was more perfect than a woman's would be a little too painful …
"Phew …"
The moment he rushed out of the Elemental Energy Lake, he deeply exhaled. His eyes shone with a touch of breathtaking light, faintly with a trace of excitement.
"Have you comprehended?"
"It happened three days ago." The corner of Chen Hao's mouth slightly curled up. He proudly said in his mind, "Haven't you noticed that the energy in my dantian has already changed? Although it's only a trace … it's only a matter of time. It won't be long before I liquefy the gaseous energy. However … "
"What?"
"My mental energy and Elemental Energy seem to be unable to be completely separated. With just a thought, the upper Dantian's Niwan Palace and the lower Dantian's Sea of Qi will become one and fuse on their own without my control. Therefore, if I want to liquefy it, I'm afraid it'll be the same as my barrier. I'll have to fuse both of them together. It'll be many times more difficult … "Chen Hao said.
"Your situation is indeed unprecedented, but I don't think it's a bad thing. The only drawback is that it'll make it many times more difficult for you to increase your cultivation base. Furthermore, it may become more difficult as you progress … However, your true strength completely surpasses your cultivation base. You can say that there are gains and losses … Phew … Alright, I'll rest for now. I'm clearly full from eating such low-grade energy, but I still feel hungry. It's not nutritious at all … "After the Treasure-hunting Sword's spirit finished speaking, it disappeared from Chen Hao's mind.
Chen Hao took out his clothes from his storage ring and put them on. After putting on his clothes, Chen Hao looked at the Elemental Energy Lake. The energy in the lake had basically dried up after being devoured by him and the Treasure-hunting Sword's spirit. Of course, the main reason was that the Treasure-hunting Sword's spirit had devoured too much. That fellow seemed to be a bottomless pit that would never be filled.
Hiss! Hiss!
Not long after, a strange energy fluctuation erupted from the ruins and wrapped around Chen Hao's body. In the next instant, Chen Hao appeared on a mountain peak outside the ruins.
Swoosh!
The moment Chen Hao appeared, six figures flew over Chen Hao in the sky and rapidly flew toward the ruins. When the six figures saw Chen Hao suddenly appear, their expressions became very interesting.
Similarly, Chen Hao's expression became very interesting as well.
Soon after, a cold light flashed in Chen Hao's eyes, and his figure strangely transformed into a gust of wind.
"Why is she with them?" Chen Hao, who had concealed himself, frowned slightly.
"Let's go!"
The leader of the six suddenly shouted. With a whoosh, like a mouse seeing a cat, he instantly increased his speed to the extreme. He was extremely frightened and flew out as fast as lightning.
Similarly, the other four were so scared that they almost peed their pants. How could they dare to hesitate? They directly used all their strength and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Only the sixth person, who was still in a daze after seeing Chen Hao, did not understand what was going on.
These six people were not strangers. Five of them were Yu Wuqing's group, and the other person was Tantai Lian! It would be strange if Chen Hao was not surprised. But what was more surprising was that these guys were so afraid of him.
As for Tantai Lian, she was still in a daze when she suddenly saw Chen Hao. However, before she could regain her senses, those five incomparably powerful experts had disappeared without a trace. What was going on? Could it be that the murderous Leng Yihan had come? In the past few days, these five people only left the area in a panic when they heard the news of Leng Yihan's appearance and who he had killed. But now, they clearly did not …
"Chen Hao … You're there, aren't you?" Tantai Lian hesitated for a moment before shouting into the void.
