In an open space within a forest, Ye Mo sat with his legs crossed on a large boulder, with a big of Mixed Energy Pills beside him.
As he revolved his Five-Elements Energy, endless streams of Yuan Chi of the Heaven and Earth gathered above Ye Mo’s head before they gushed into Ye Mo’s body like a breath of energy.
One after another Mixed Energy Pill was stuffed into his mouth and the pill’s energy were all wrapped in his Yuanli, as they streamed into his Energy Center.
As the Yuan Chi of the Heaven and Earth entered his body, Ye Mo directed the Yuan Chi into his Energy Center, and his Five Elements Energy Core continued to revolve.
Having reached the Energy Shaping Realm and following his advancement into the higher realms, the Yuanli in Ye Mo’s Energy Center became more viscous as it condensed.
Together with the Mixed Energy Pills, Ye Mo’s Five-Elements Energy became more condensed, and his meridian nerves that connected to his Energy Center were better cleared.
Ever since the seven-day promise was made, Ye Mo had devoted all his time and energy into his training.
If Ye Mo had continued his battle with Yun Feng that day, he would only have had one-third the chance at winning the fight. Whether it was his strength or defense, Ye Mo was just not on par with an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior.
However, with only seven days, breaking through to the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm would be almost impossible.
It was night, and moonlight illuminated the forest. A black-haired man sat with his legs crossed on a large boulder.
Only by looking closely would one realize that the man was not actually seated on the large boulder but was actually floating in the air.
Surrounded by tranquility, the sound of a rhythmic heartbeat could be heard.
Right this moment, Ye Mo didn’t feel the flow of his Yuanli or the flow of his blood but only the sound of his heartbeat, which was slow but powerful.
From his Mind’s Mortal Gate, Yuanli gushed towards his heart and one after another peculiar meridian veins formed, all which connected to his heart.
Afterwards, the Yuanli from his Energy Center was also drawn over to his heart, and his Five-Colored Yuanli gathered to become a ray of rainbow brilliance.
Tsss! Tsss! Tsss!
Ye Mo’s Yuanli gathered within his heart and gradually took on the shape of a human. The human figure was the size of his heart and made up a mix of colors — it was a miniature version of Ye Mo.
Day after day of training, absorbing the Yuan Chi of the Heaven and Earth, the little person gradually became more consolidated under the condensation of the Five-Elements Energy.
Ling’er, who was lying on top of a seal, immediately woke up. Then, she said in utter shock, “You’ve actually succeeded in your Heart Cultivation?”
“Heart Cultivation?” Ye Mo asked in surprise.
“Weapons have hearts and warriors, too, have hearts. If you want to achieve the Human Spear Unity that your master spoke of, you first have to cultivate your heart. Once you’ve completed the cultivation of your heart, all you need to do is raise your heart cultivation realm, then your heart will gradually grow stronger, which will provide many benefits for you in the future.”
On the path of training, Physical Cultivation, Strength Cultivation, and Brain Cultivation represent the so-called Essence-Energy-Spirit. But the Heart Cultivation was something beyond them; it had an elusive existence.
There were also warriors that might not even be able to cultivate their heart in their lifetime. A strong heart cultivator is able to establish contact freely with otherness.
After listening to the explanation from Ling’er, Ye Mo was still not fully clear, but the minion in his heart was indeed quite mystical.
“The Sky Blood Lady from those years was of the true Heart Cultivation Realm, so with just one strike from her, she could even tear through the heavens.”
“Tear through the heavens?”
Ye Mo was greatly shocked. How strong must she have been to achieve that!
“There’s not much time left. Quickly fortify your heart cultivation then try to invoke the Human Spear Unity again!” said Ling’er.
Ye Mo continued his training and his Heart Cultivation while his Mixed Energy Pills were exhausted one after another.
It was only until the fifth day that the minion was completely brought to life, jumping around with so much vigor and looking exceptionally cute.
Ye Mo opened his eyes in an instant and materialized a Dragon Spear in his hand. The heart minion also materialized an identical Dragon Spear, but the actions of the two weren’t fully synchronized.
Shoo!
Ye Mo thrust his spear forwards, and the moment the spear shot out, the heart minion seemed to have felt Ye Mo’s intentions, so it did the same and thrust its spear out.
The Spearlight shot out and turned into a nine-feet long Spearlight, stacking atop one another as it smashed into a distant mountain.
Boom!
The mountain that was the size of a building was instantly blown away by one stab from Ye Mo. Its shattered pieces flew in all directions!
If it had been the Ye Mo from before, he would never have been able to extend his attack to such a far distance.
“Right now, you’re only able to stack the distance of your attack, so try to stack the power of your attack now!” said Ling’er.
Having heard her, Ye Mo established contact with his heart minion, and the heart minion gripped the Dragon Spear in its hands and thrust out three spears.
Swoosh!
Ye Mo’s spear shot towards the sky. Its Spearlight then swept out across the skies, and the air started to distort.
Boom!
A thunderous clap rang out, then a black light blocked all the moonlight before it disappeared within the skies.
“Not bad. You’re able to stack your attack power by threefolds now. Just that one spear alone is enough to wound an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior!”
The Dragon Spear gradually vanished, and Ye Mo couldn’t help but ask, “Ling’er, when the Sky Blood Spear tore through the heavens that one time, how many stacks of attack power did the Sky Blood Lady use?”
What did it mean to tear through the heavens? It meant ripping through the stars and breaking the void; that attack had definitely reached an extreme limit.
“The Sky Blood Lady had mastered her Spear Techniques to an extreme extent, so she was able to stack her attack power up to 36,000 times. Not to forget that she was able to invoke the Human Spear Unity and could also establish contact with her weapon spirit,” said Ling’er as she shrugged her shoulders and pretended to look very profound.
“Establish contact with one’s weapon spirit?”
“To be able to establish contact with your weapon spirit is the true form of achieving the Human Spear Unity. Have you already forgotten that Wen Cangtian’s Sword Techniques were also very powerful? Once the Blue Flame Sword was cultivated, he could immediately establish contact with the Blue Flame Weapon Spirit and become one with the Blue Flame Sword,” said Ling’er.
When Wen Cangtian was battling against Du Wuju, he used the Sword Against The World technique where he became one with the Blue Flame Sword, and with just that one technique, he had split the Sword Cleansing Cave in half.
Wen Cangtian had only failed to injure Du Wuju because he was too strong and was also further strengthened by the Yin Poison Grass
“Five days have already passed, and now that I’ve succeeded in my heart cultivation, I now have the power to go against Yun Feng. If I’m able to reach the Energy Shaping Fourth realm then fuse with the Dragon Blood, I will be able to reach the Second Stage Dragon Blood Fortification, and with that, even if I stand before an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior, he will not be able to harm me.”
After Ye Mo gradually calmed down from his initial excitement, he returned back to his training spot within the inner-league, the Spirit Mountain Grotto.
Walking into Spirit Mountain, Ye Mo noticed three figures who were also walking towards his Spirit Mountain Grotto. It was Ling Xue, Li Suifeng, and Tong Qian.
Ling Xue noticed Ye Mo walking over, so she immediately shouted at the top of her lungs. “Ye Mo? Where did you go? Something big has happened!”
“What’s going on? Ling Xue?”
“Tiandi Alliance’s Elite League Member Yun Feng has challenged you to a battle. Yun Feng is of the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm, and it’s said that Yun Feng is a Prodigy-Level League Member. This incident has been raging, and almost all Qingyun Alliance League Members are aware of this,” said Ling Xue hurriedly.
“Eh, I’m already aware of this,” said Ye Mo with no care.
“You know about this?” Ling Xue was first shocked, then she worriedly said, “Although I’m not sure why he wants to challenge you, he has made known that he’ll kill you during the battle, so you must not accept his challenge.”
“Yun Feng wants to kill me? I’m afraid that he doesn’t have that capability!”
