Massive Absorption

Massive Absorption . . .

Cha Eun Xiao found himself at a loss for words but profoundly enlightened by the astounding sight unfolding before him. In an uncharacteristic show of generosity, he had given Erhuo the go-ahead to absorb the clouds. The typically arrogant Erhuo was visibly surprised by this show of trust.

In response to Cha Eun Xiao's nod, Erhuo expressed its joy through an ecstatic flurry of meows. The little feline bounded energetically around Cha Eun Xiao, rubbing its furry body against his clothes. The exchange between the two was filled with happiness and trust.

Once granted permission, Erhuo wasted no time and leaped headlong into the red and white clouds.

Cha Eun Xiao's concerns surfaced as he exclaimed, "You foolish cat! Do you wish to get yourself killed? What if you plummet from there?" However, to his amazement, Erhuo did not fall but rather floated in the clouds and reveled in its newfound environment. The clouds were surprisingly solid beneath its paws, and the cat joyfully romped around this unusual landscape.

As Erhuo continued to play and explore, the once-stable red and white clouds began to transform into a massive swirling vortex. Erhuo found itself at the heart of this maelstrom. With its paws, the tiny feline seemed to be pulling in the surrounding clouds, creating a vast funnel.

The surrounding clouds rushed toward the vortex Erhuo had created, converging and spinning into it. The feline opened its mouth wide and inhaled, causing the amassed clouds to flow like a mighty dragon into its mouth.

Cha Eun Xiao was dumbfounded by the spectacle unfolding before him. Erhuo, a small cat with an even smaller mouth, had effortlessly swallowed an enormous quantity of red and white clouds. The sheer scale and potency of these clouds had previously posed a grave threat to Cha Eun Xiao's life, making this feat all the more incredible.

After gorging itself, Erhuo let out a contented burp, having consumed roughly twenty percent of the clouds. Though there was still much more to be devoured, Cha Eun Xiao was already impressed. He realized that at this rate, Erhuo would consume the entirety of the clouds in four or five additional sittings.

However, Erhuo displayed an unexpected desire to continue. Despite its full stomach, the little feline eagerly captured more clouds from the sky.

Cha Eun Xiao grew concerned and wondered why Erhuo persisted in consuming the clouds, even when it was satiated. It was at this point that he realized the true consequences of Erhuo's actions.

Erhuo could enter the Boundless Space at will and had control over its entrance. Cha Eun Xiao deduced that Erhuo was storing the clouds within the Boundless Space.

However, as the space within the Boundless Space began to fill with more and more clouds, Cha Eun Xiao grew increasingly alarmed. He understood that this could have severe repercussions for the Boundless Space and began to observe the purple qi within the space as it engaged in a fierce battle against the invading clouds.

As the purple qi and the clouds collided, the collision emitted soft, almost melodic sounds. To Cha Eun Xiao's astonishment, as these two formidable energy sources clashed, the once-terrifying red and white clouds began to vanish. This perplexed him greatly since the purple qi had been overpowered when he attempted to use it outside the Boundless Space.

An adept cultivator, Cha Eun Xiao quickly grasped the underlying cause of this phenomenon. It was evident that the purple qi outside had been limited by his own feeble cultivation level, rendering it too weak to fend off the clouds effectively. Inside the Boundless Space, however, the purple qi was far more potent than what he could harness outside, and it was thriving against the clouds.

The red and white clouds posed no threat to the Boundless Space. Yet, in the wake of this unexpected situation, Cha Eun Xiao observed an influx of purple qi into the Space, almost as if the Space itself exuded a sense of jubilation. This left Cha Eun Xiao in a state of bewilderment, questioning if it was a mere illusion or if the Boundless Space genuinely had emotional attributes.

As he pondered this, the incoming tide of purple qi from the Space began to pour into his meridians and vessels with great intensity. It permeated every nook and cranny of his channels before returning to the Space, save for a portion that stayed within his dantian. This was an exceedingly pure strain of purple qi, and even a small quantity was invaluable to him.

However, this was merely the initial wave. A continuous deluge of purple qi flowed into his meridians and vessels, like a tidal wave of revitalization. The red and white clouds, upon entering the Space, underwent a transformation and conversion. Yet the influx persisted as Erhuo continued to stir the clouds, causing a continuous surge of purple qi that circulated through his meridians.

Cha Eun Xiao, now descending further down the precipice, felt the impact of this change. The clouds outside were dwindling rapidly, and he could sense the dizziness that once plagued him had now dissipated.
