Ye Mo Awakens His Divine Soul (3)

As the day of the Divine Soul Awakening Ceremony drew nearer, undercurrents surge in many parts of the Kung Fu Continent, many major clans and sects strengthened their protective arrays. They dispatched their elders to search and recruit many favorable talents.

Due to the strange phenomenons that took place at the Northern gate, powerful cultivators from the Eastern and Southern gates flew to the Northern gate, they were scattered across the Northern gate, some laid low and awaited the arrival of the D-Day, while the others gave the Wild Forest a final sweep, but they were met with wasted efforts.

When the news of the arrival of the powerful cultivators got to the town, the academies in the towns urged their students to cultivate harder as they gave them their best wishes. Noticing that a certain someone was missing from the class again on this important occasion, Yu Yan's mind was a little chaotic, she didn't know whether she should be worried or happy about it. He had drifted further and farther away from her, calming her chaotic mind, she decided to stop worrying about him and allow fate play its course. Fang Yan on the other hand snorted dismissively upon noticing his absence, he was more calmer and clear-headed compared to his former self. No matter where he ran off to, they would surely meet at the Chu City, he kept his fingers crossed as he imagined the kind of spectacle his divine soul awakening would cause.

Unbeknownst to them, the person they had on their mind had already awakened his Divine Soul and was also the cause of the phenomenons that had been happening recently.

Elder One stood with his mouth agape which could perfectly fit a truck of flies. He had been like that for a few minutes as he watched from the distance, how a pure black mist enveloped the little brat' that laid unconscious in the pond with a gentle Halo.

The image of a dark moon levitated on top of Ye Mo's head, a pair of bottomless pitch-black eyes opened, that pair of eyes held infinite darkness, majesty and arrogance. It took a glance at Elder One, who spurted a fountain of blood; for second time in his life, Elder One experienced the true meaning of fear and terror, he was just like a tiny little ant before that pair of bottomless eyes.

The eyes focused it attention on the unconscious figure inside the pond, it showed a little bit of affection and expectation, it slowly merged with the dark moon and entered Ye Mo's body.

Ye Mo awoke from his unconscious state after a few seconds. His eyes was blurry, his mind blank, he remembered the sudden appearance of a beautiful, bloody, black moon before everything faded into darkness. Looking at the familiar surrounding, he realized that he had been ejected from the Divine Soul World, he felt lucky, because the last thing he saw was so scary, he saw the other Divine Souls scurrying away, some fled underground, some escaped through the air, while the others tore the void and disappeared. Seeing the complicated look on Elder One's face, Ye Mo was flabbergasted, "Have I become more handsome? Am not into men! Please avert your gaze, old man!"

"Sigh." Elder One let out a discordant sigh, "You really surprised me, huh! Don't be in a hurry to leave, I will explain everything later." With that he sat cross-legged to treat his grevious internal injury.

Recalling the words of the system, Ye Mo sat down cross-legged in the pond, no sooner had he sat down that a massive influx of spiritual energy flowed into his body, almost choking him. His weight expanded rapidly making him become a robust young man, he hurriedly activated his breathing cycle, which alleviated him from his akward predicament. Spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave into his body, his internal organs were remodelled. The spiritual energy flowed into his dry meridians, like a desert that suddenly received an overflow of water, they vibrated with joy as the spiritual energy nourished them.

The main meridians let out triumphant noise, as they came alive, they were very thick, the rampaging spiritual energy flowed through the first meridian to awaken, it was such a pleasant feeling.

As more meridians awakened, the flow of spiritual energy became smoother and faster. Soon, the first twelve meridians were awakened, spiritual energy surged into Ye Mo's body, polishing and cleaning his body, all the hidden impurities in his body were flushed out, his skin became whiter and smoother, he looked just like someone who came out of a painting. The continuous flow of spiritual energy did not stop, they surged towards the branch meridians, the repeated overflow of spiritual energy caused the branch meridians to awaken, the numbers of popping sounds Ye Mo heard were countless. About 113 branch meridians were awokened, they were strong and thick, they soon formed a circulation pattern, the smooth flow of spiritual energy in his meridians filled his heart with joy.

The spiritual energy flowed through his meridians in three cycles, before they flowed to the lower part of his stomach. Ye Mo sweated, this was the very troublesome part of the whole deal. The spiritual energy spun in a circle, with all his being focused on this part, he tried compressing the spiritual energy little by little. The spiritual energy formed an embryonic seed, as more energy was compressed, it grew bigger and bigger, the circle of spiritual energy became larger and spun more frequently.

The small seed soon grew to the size of a baby's fist, the bigger circle turned to a small tornado, the spiritual energy in the environment surged into the store crazily, Ye Mo's body became a medium of transfer, the compression and formation of the Divine Core took a toll on his body. The speed of compression became faster, thriving for a big Divine Core was stupidity, a big core is meant to have a solid foundation and background backing it up, so a solid and big Divine Core was a better option.

The fist sized embryonic Divine Core became stronger and more solid, it expanded rapidly, the influx of spiritual energy was almost unbearable for Ye Mo.

Ye Mo decided to follow his own heart, if he wanted to stand out from the masses he had to make certain weird decisions. After reaching the size of an adult fist, Ye Mo concentrated his attention on compressing more spiritual energy on his embryonic Divine Core. In his last life, one thing he came to understand and accept was the irrelevance of size, a person with a bigger size does not necessarily have more power than a smaller sized person . He saw a lot of situations in the boxing ring where shorter and smaller sized persons had beaten up their opponents who were of bigger size, even though they were dwarfed in their presence, they had been floored, it was a very funny and baffling matter and had been a hot topic for a few months; since then he promised himself never to belittle any size again.

A bigger Divine Core might not necessarily contain more spiritual energy. He diligently compressed the embryonic form of the Divine Core, it size fluctuated and gradually stabilize to the size of an adult fist.

Elder One watched what was happening inside Ye Mo's body and nodded his head in satisfaction, he praised Ye Mo's smartness in his heart. Blindly following instructions was disastrous to growth, a capable man should explore his own ideas and follow his heart.

Satisfied with the size of his Divine Core, he began the last and final strenuous part. Repeated tempering, thanks to his familiarity with spiritual energy while in the body realm, it was a lot smoother and easier for him, if anyone saw this scene, they would label him a freak,because it was widely known that during the Divine Soul Awakening Ceremony, the core formation technique' for the formation of a Divine Core will be distributed to all students, it was a general technique, so basically everyone formed their Divine Core based on this technique.

Some might be lucky to get a better version from the sect or clan that were interested in them. While those from powerful background will obviously get the best techniques.

Forming a Divine Core without a technique was simply monstrous, and a lot of those who tried it were tended to fail.

Oblivious to how much of a monstrous thing he was doing, he regulated the rate of his tempering, he used spiritual energy as a hammer to mold the embryonic form of the Divine Core from all angles, the embryonic Divine Core slowly solidified.

Ye Mo performed a dual task, he tempered and compressed the Divine Core at the same time, the embryonic Divine Core gained it solid form. It was a round, smooth and black Divine Core. His attention had been too focused on the process that he failed to notice the color of his Divine Core.
