BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1391: Opportunity
Chapter 1391: Opportunity
With his expression changing, he wanted to increase the strength of the protection barrier when a powerful domain covered the ship.
“Do not panic.” Shang Xia’s voice caused Song Zhen to calm down. “Go check on the rest before getting Senior Sister Yan to deduce our current location. I’ll defend the ship until everyone recovers.”
Song Zhen cupped his fists at Shang Xia before rushing to check on the rest.
Many Martial Dipper Realm cultivators started to regain control of their bodies. Earlier, they were tossed into an extremely sorry state because of the chaotic streams, but experts at the Martial Extermination Realm and Martial Dipper Realm wouldn’t be injured because they were tossed about a little.
Song Zhen quickly gathered everyone again to increase the power of the protection formation. The protection barrier around it stabilized and started to glow with powerful might.
The only problem they were facing then was that Yan Ming’s deduction of their position in the sea of stars didn’t go as smoothly. The chaotic streams pushed them a little too far off course...
With the protection barrier operating at full strength again, Shang Xia retracted his domain and walked over to the bridge. He saw Yan Ming making her calculations anxiously and laughed, “There’s no need to rush. We’re in a much safer spot than earlier.”
She didn’t seem to hear him as she continued to make her calculations. She compared everything she could to the chart Yuan Qiuyuan made before they set off.
Song Zhen also approached after stabilizing the ship. He asked the moment he saw Shang Xia, “Lord, what should we do with the mysterious energy in our dantian?”
“Oh...” Shang Xia frowned. “It’s actually a troublesome matter, but it’s not exactly impossible to deal with.”
Song Zhen raised his head to look at Shang Xia in admiration.
Not noticing the look on Song Zhen’s face, Shang Xia continued, “If you get rid of all the energy that has been contaminated, your cultivation will definitely suffer slightly. Even though your foundations will not be affected, you will need some time to recover. You might as well seal off all the energy and slowly assimilate it into your body. When you manage to fully control it, you will be able to improve your cultivation slightly.”
Song Zhen gasped in shock, “Is that really possible?”
Shang Xia glanced at him before he explained, “This was a good opportunity to begin with. It’s just that the level of energy contained in the Star Curtain is too high and if absorbed without a proper plan, it will bring about endless harm. If you manage to make use of it properly, you will be able to save a lot of time during your path of cultivation.”
While they were conversing, Yan Ming completed her calculations. She heard what he said and the other Martial Dipper Realm experts who heard his explanation also revealed looks of excitement.
Without a question, those with lower cultivation realms would benefit the most. They would be able to save the most time cultivating after properly refining the mysterious energy. Other than Shang Xia who was awakened by the Crimson Soul Tablet and didn’t take in too much mysterious energy and had already turned them into his own, all they needed to do was to spend some time to convert the energy into something they can use.
Shang Xia laughed suddenly, “Actually, using this experience to improve your cultivation is the most basic application. Comprehending the properties behind the mysterious high-level energy should be the greatest gain you should be striving for. The higher your cultivation, the more you will be able to discover from it.
Shang Xia turned to Song Zhen and continued, “If you manage to properly study the energy and comprehend its mysteries... It will prove very useful when you try to become a high-level True Immortal in the future.”
Raising his brows in shock, Song Zhen yelled in excitement, “Many thanks for your pointers, Lord!”
Shang Xia nodded slowly before addressing Yan Ming and the others. “All of you should try to unravel the mysteries behind the strange energy. However, do not sink too deep into it and affect your cultivation during the process.”
Everyone nodded in affirmation.
Finally, the Martial Extermination Realm cultivators were left. However, no one went over to wake them up.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t but it might prove detrimental for their progress in the future. As such, Shang Xia sealed off their dantians for the time being. After all, the mysterious energy would only circulate much faster if they were awake and it might be too late for them to try to reverse its effects.
With Shang Xia making his move, the mysterious energy couldn’t harm any of them. After that, he infused a bit of his Six Direction Qi into their dantian to maintain balance with the mysterious energy. He also left behind a method for them to get rid of the seal once they awakened.
When he was done with that, he started to help the Martial Dipper Realm experts on board seal off the energy temporarily so that they could refine it for themselves. After he was done, he finally helped Song Zhen to control the mysterious energy in him.
When he helped Song Zhen, he suddenly instructed, “You shouldn’t be in a rush to convert the energy into your own. It won’t help your cultivation by too much. Instead, you should study the mysterious energy as it will greatly assist your breakthrough to the third tier immensely.”
After he was done, Shang Xia turned to Yan Ming.
She had corrected their trajectory some time ago and seeing as Shang Xia was looking at her, she quickly explained, “We are close to arriving in the region of space around the Spirit Tip World.”
Shang Xia wasn’t too surprised. After they were sent flying by the strangely powerful chaotic space current, even he couldn’t determine how far they had traveled. All he knew was that they had been sent flying an ungodly distance.
“We’ll keep going. Other than those who have to control the Spirit Ark, everyone should properly examine the ark and repair any damage we sustained.”
Shang Xia left behind a simple order before preparing to take his leave.
When the mysterious energy descended earlier, there was no doubt that Shang Xia benefited the most. He was actually rushing to check the condition of his dantian and he was especially concerned with the Crimson Soul Tablet.
Seeing as Shang Xia was about to walk away, Song Zhen quickly followed from behind and muttered in a low voice, “Lord, what is the mysterious energy? Could it be Seventh Order energy?”
“It’s just a guess, but all words have their own world origin. The world origin of a Spirit World is stronger than that of an Azure World and the world origin of an Essence World is even stronger than that. Would a Heavenly Field possess its own origin source that produces another type of energy?”
Shang Xia wasn’t throwing out random guesses. He absorbed world origin from Azure Worlds, Spirit Worlds, and even Essence Worlds.
When he came into contact with the mysterious energy earlier, Shang Xia could tell that the energy that the Crimson Soul Tablet absorbed was of an even higher tier than that of the Essence Xing World.
“Origin Source of a Heavenly Field?” Song Zhen mumbled in shock. “Can a Heavenly Field really possess its own Origin Source? Hmm... Is that why those Essence Worlds out there don’t devour the Spirit Worlds and Azure Worlds in the same Heavenly Field to hasten their growth and choose to control them instead? Then, a Heavenly Field...”
Shang Xia stared at Song Zhen in shock. He didn’t think that Song Zhen would be able to make the connection so quickly!
However, he was more focused on the Star Curtain and the gap they passed through. Even though it was a powerful current that pushed them out, Shang Xia felt that it was more like the entire Heaven Observation Field had spat them out.
There’s no way the Heaven Observation Field possesses its own consciousness, right?
When the thought flashed through his mind, he was shocked by the possibility.
Maybe it has something to do with the Essence Ping World, or more accurately, the soul of the Star Origin Lord...
Shang Xia shook his head in an attempt to get rid of the strange thought as he tried to calm himself to examine the changes to the Crimson Soul Tablet.
When the tablet pulsed in his sea of consciousness, Shang Xia could tell that it swallowed a lot more energy than all of them combined.
After the projection of the tablet returned, Shang Xia discovered several words flashed on its surface.
It was something he had never seen before.
According to everything he experienced in the past, any time words appeared on the tablet, they would describe his martial intent or the advancement formula he required to reach the next cultivation realm.
The appearance of worlds on the tablet was probably related to the Heavenly Field’s Origin Source and Shang Xia’s deduction about its existence.
