Light Cultivation
Eps. 92 — Ye Ao
Simultaneously with himself swallowing the blue pearl, the ice flakes that were impregnating Jian Chen's legs came loose. Jian Chen hurriedly used the opportunity to change positions to be cross-legged.
Just two seconds Jian Chen swallowed the pearl, his body temperature had already decreased quite drastically. Jian Chen poured a great deep energy throughout his body to keep himself from freezing.
Jian Chen closed his eyes with the highest level of focus, on his body he saw that the blue pearl was shining very brightly. It was the light that made him cold, Jian Chen could feel his body temperature drop quite sharply.
Slowly from Jian Chen's skin now began to freeze, his hair and body were the same.
Jian Chen did not give up, he continued to envelop his body with deep energy even though the freezing did not stop at all.
“Ah, what a pity he turned out to fail..”.
The old man shook his head slowly with a feeling of pity, he could watch as little by little Jian Chen's body was enveloped in ice.
The profound energy Jian Chen exuded did indeed slow him down but if he did that continuously let alone until his profound energy ran out, then the matter of the ice time enveloping his body made him freeze and die.
The pearl rays on Jian Chen's body grew more radiant, Jian Chen twisted his brain quickly because he believed he could not be positioned continuously like this.
“Hopefully this method worked..” rounded his resolve, Jian Chen tried to absorb that blue light to get into his eight meridians.
A sea of light rushed towards Jian Chen's meridians one by one, the boundless container-like meridans received millions of light that immediately filled Jian Chen's meridians with unnatural speed.
If it should be that Jian Chen had to cultivate one more year to ascend to the Light God realm next but by absorbing this pearl light, Jian Chen was confident of slashing the cultivation time.
“This...how can?!” without a trace of Jian Chen, the old man who had been watching him was so shocked to see something in front of him.
The sudden freezing on Jian Chen's body came to a halt and even the ice present on his skin slowly disappeared, evaporating into white smoke. In a matter of minutes Jian Chen's body had already become normal and his body temperature had returned to its original state.
Jian Chen continued to absorb the pearl light without knowing how much time he used, a minute, an hour, a day, or even a week, Jian Chen was unaware of it all.
His eight meridians one by one began to fill up, now his seven meridians had been upgraded and there was only one more but when Jian Chen wanted to try it, the pearl suddenly disappeared from his body.
“Hah? What happened?” Jian Chen was shocked as well as confused when his pearl disappeared just like that.
He opened his eyes but nothing happened around him, on the other hand the old man finally realized Jian Chen had already woken up from his long sleep.
“You finally woke up too, I thought you would sit cross-legged for years until the pearl disappeared in your body.”.
“Senior, actually I woke up because the pearl was gone from my body?” jian Chen replied anxiously, he thought it was a bad thing.
“What did you say, the pearl is gone?!”
“Senior what happens if the pearl is gone?” Jian Chen gulped, his premonition worsening.
The old man instead of answering laughed out loud, he looked at Jian Chen with a look of disbelief but from the look in his eyes he was very happy.
“Hundreds of years I waited to see who the destiny chose, finally after a long wait I found it.” the old man laughed.
The old man clearly looked excited, his happiness emanating clearly from his eyes as he looked at Jian Chen.
“Son, don't worry, the pearl is not lost but is still there for you. The blue pearl is now in your dantian nature.” The old man smiled, answering Jian Chen's anxiety.
“Hm, don't you know it?”
Jian Chen nodded.
The old man let out a long sigh, not covering up his disappointed expression. “Seeing you do not know the nature of dantian, shows the warriors out there are decreasing in quality every generation.”
He now turned to the young man in front of him with a feeling of astonishment. “Yeah, at least there are destiny-chosen young people in this generation.”.
Then the old man explained his dantian realm while Jian Chen listened to everything carefully.
Jian Chen's reaction was a little surprised after knowing it, he only found out about this matter even in the first life Jian Chen had never heard of his name.
“Seeing from your element it seems like you are not from the Ye clan right?” Ask the old man afterwards.
“Junior is from Jian clan, my name is Jian Chen.”
The old man stroked his beard and sighed again, “I think the pearl that received was from my clan but well...want how else, fate can not be predicted.”.
“Senior, is senior from Ye clan?”
The old man nodded. “My name is Ye Ao, maybe when compared to the time now I am the ancestor of the clan.”.
Without Jian Chen asking, Ye Ao told all his life stories including why his consciousness could be here even though he had long since died.
Ye Ao was the Patriarch of the Ye clan in his day and was one of the strongest warriors of the time, at the end of his reign he had to flee his clan due to a coup.
Coups do often occur in every clan, this is usually triggered by several things such as dislike of the leader, the seizure of the throne or the absence of a leader in taking care of his clan.
Ye Ao then escaped while hiding in this cave while carrying two valuable items from his clan.
“The first one is the blue pearl item that you swallowed it and the second one is this.” Ye Ao pulled out a sword from void space. “An ancient heirloom sword..”.
Ye Ao then handed the blue-stained sword to Jian Chen, leaving the youngster both confused and astonished.
“Senior, what do you mean?”
Ye Ao smiled faintly. “I leave this heirloom sword to you.”
“Eh?" Jian Chen looked at the sword in his hand. "But senior is not this very valuable and the reason you are here is also because of this sword?”
Ye Ao snorted. “I gave up that sword doesn't mean you can use it. Just try pulling that ancient sword!”
Jian Chen scratched his head then did as he was told, for a moment he realized the blue sword could not escape from its sheath even when he was already using deep power. Ye Ao then explained that she could not pull it.
“The sword is named after the Ice God Sword, according to historical records only the chosen descendants of the Ye clan can remove the sword from its scabbard…” Even those who are members of the Ye clan cannot use it except one descendant in intent.
“I leave the sword to you, it is up to you to keep it or even destroy it as long as the heirloom sword does not fall into the wrong hands.” Ye Ao reminded.
Jian Chen scratched his head, for a moment he was very happy when given the heirloom sword for free but realized he could not use it to make his heart become a little bitter.
