13 Breakthrough and Awakening

Yang Shi sensed the Internal energy coursing through his body. Tiny strands of silvery energy are like a rippling wave, awakening every cell of his body.

To enter the first stage, Yang Shi would need to assimilate the body and mind, absorbing the [ Primitive Energy] in them. He would wash his body with the [Primitive Energy] and increase the resolution in his spirit. This would not only change the whole structure of his body from his flesh and muscles to his bone marrows, but also train his internal energy to break into the next realm and attain enlightenment.

An unknown amount of time has passed. Yang Shi was still revolving his energy. The light screen appeared and the countdown started.

Reward bestowment starts in: 3..2..1

|| Somewhere ||

Samsara Emperor opened his eyes. He grinned and said," This kid finally finished the first task. I should reward him." He waved his hand and a golden rune appeared.

"Go." The rune broke through the void and disappeared. After it crossed the incalculable distance, it appeared above Yang Shi's head and drilled into it. Yang Shi, Who was immersed in his meditation, didn't notice it.

..........

The strands of energy interconnected with each other and became longers strings, Which connected four limbs, The Five Viscera and Six Bowels, The Seven Apertures, each of his body cells are now connected with the internal energy strings. Yang Shi has entered the realm, Where he had the absolute control of his every body part. His body has become so agile and flexible that he could twist his body like no ordinary human could do. When Yang Shi opened his eyes, he saw all of his wound has healed. As Yang Shi stretched his body, cracking sound came from his bones. He swung his fist and punched the nearby wall.

BOOOM!!!

A hole appeared on the cave wall. Remember, The rocks inside of the cave is very hard, but Yang Shi made a hole with his punch. Of course, Yang Shi used [ Ghost Fist ] to increase his power.

" Let's try this." Yang Shi concentrated and punched again.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Eight consecutive holes appeared on the wall. This is the pinnacle of [ Ghost Fist ]. Making eight strikes through one punch. Then he channeled his internal energy to his feet and activated [ Wind Parting Footwork ].

WOOOSH!!

Yang Shi dashed out of the cave with the speed of wind.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yang Shi laughed hard as we traversed a few hundred meters within a breath of time. Some beasts started by the sudden appearance of him. Yang Shi swiftly traveled back to the cave. He saw that the ancient formation has stopped working and the blood pond has dried. He had already guessed what happened, still he asked the Demonic-man.

" Ah, You have awakened? It has been three days, You know?" The Demonic-man said.

" WHAT?!! THREE DAYS?" Yang Shi was astonished. Now he understood that in those wuxia novels, How those cultivators enter in meditations for thousands of years.

" About the blood pond....." Yang Shi inquired.

" Yesterday, The pill has been refined. There was seven Blood Vitality pills were concocted. I ate two and distributed the rest to other demonic beasts. Here, This one is for you." Demonic-man said happily.

" Thanks for your benevolence, Your Majesty. But I can't have it, as I am still very weak."

" Oh, too bad." The Demonic-man said.

" Then, I shall take leave." Yang Shi went back to the blood pond. He sat cross-legged and started to channel the Internal energy. Then he did something insane. The cultivators of the Qi condensation realm circulate their Qi in the meridians and knock open the gate of DanTian, to reach the [ Spiritual Ascension realm ]. But Yang Shi circulated the Internal Energy as the substitute of Qi, to reach the Spiritual Ascension. He didn't know what would happen, but he still gave it a try.

[ Gather all energy, Circulate through the meridians, Knock open the gate of DanTian ]

As he used all energy to knock open the DanTian, beckoned to him, black runes appeared all over his body. It seems like the black runes are suppressing Yang Shi's body from reaching the next realm. But at the moment, Yang Shi's forehead flashed and, a golden rune appeared. The light spread from the golden rune and, it collided against the black runes.

This Golden rune was the same rune that Samsara Emperor send to Yang Shi. Yang Shi didn't noticed the battle between the golden and black runes, His focus was to knock open the DanTian. He tried again and again, Ten times, Thiry times, Hundred times, he didn;t stopped.

ARRRGH!

Yang Shi roared as he squeezed out every drop of internal energy and condensed it. The silvery internal energy strings are now congealed as a bright silver river. Yang Shi charged the silver river to the DanTian. At the same moment, the golden rune shone brightly and temporarily suppressed the black runes. This split moment is enough for Yang Shi.

CRACK! CRACK! CRAAAAAAAAAAAACCKK!

The gate could not able to withstand such pressure and broke apart. The silvery internal energy gushed inside the DanTian like floodwater. Yang Shi felt like millions of stars exploded in his mind, at the same time.

ONNNNNNNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!

The internal energy turned into a silver maelstrom and, filled the whole DanTian. Then it slowly dispersed. When the gate of DanTian broke, the black runes also shattered to pieces. The golden rune slowly came back to Yang Shi's forehead and vanished. Yang Shi opened his eyes and it shone with brilliance. One of his pupils was azure blue, and the other one was fiery red. Then it slowly became normal. Of course, Yang Shi didn't know anything about it. Yang Shi meditated and he became excited to find that now he can draw the spiritual Qi or the world. Yang Shi concentrated, and the Qi came gushing into his DanTian. He channeled the Qi to his left arm and punched.

BOOOM!

A deep hole appeared on the cave wall. Its power is even greater than the internal energy. Yang Shi is very excited now as he took the first step towards the path of cultivation.

" Finally. I have reached [ Spiritual ascension realm ] "

.........................................

|| Faraway place||

The place was like an immortal scenery. Majestic floating clouds, heavenly palaces, Flying immortal cranes could be seen here. A heaven soaring mountain stood at the middle.

A loud boom heard all across the expanse.

" What the -

All people shocked what they saw.

" Heavens, How could that happen? I am not dreaming, right?"

.......

" Elder, this is bad. One of the saint mountains has exploded.!!!"

" WHAT!!!!"

................

" Patriarch, about this......"

" What happened has happened. Don't dwell on this anymore."

The patriarch said with complicated emotions.

" The seal of cultivation has broken. It seems even if heavens abandoned him, fate hasn't." an old man with white beard said with closed eyes. hearing the old man, the patriarch's sighed deeply.

" No matter What, Clan comes first."

" You can't overcome the destiny. See? He is alive and even started cultivation." The old man sighed.

" Can you tell his location?" Patriarch asked with an agitated tone.

" I can't. I will be affected by the Karma." The old man shook his head.

" However....." The old man concentrated as he calculated something. Then he snapped open his eyes and vomited blood.

" Elder?!!!!!!, Are you ok?" Patriarch alarmed by sudden situation.

" I- I can only see a flaming sword floating above a crimson flower. NO, Th-This is IMPOSSIBLE. Could it be... Its HIM, The EMPEROR." The old man murmured as he looked at the distant sky.
