Leylin sat down quietly, stopping the chase momentarily as wisps of light mist, containing large amount of energy slowly drifted out of his body and started to engulf him. His Qi was swirling frantically in all of his seven hundred and twenty meridians, and a strange energy was being purified and concentrated over and over again.
After a while, Leylin eyes gradually returned to normal and regained its clarity. At that moment, he realized that the group had already left but their speed has decreased because of fatigue, so he didn’t have to chase them hastily.
“The constant breakthrough would be really straining for this body, it’s good that I invested a big portion of the devour force to increase the body vitality and constitution otherwise it would have been a troublesome matter.” Leylin thought as he started to operate his Profound Qi without any second thoughts. Immersing in this soothing music, he started to relax.
Right in the middle of this dark forest, filled with all kinds of unexpected danger, Leylin managed to magically enter the world of the empty Selfless State.
After an immeasurable amount of time, the white mist wrapping around him had already been absorbed into his own body. Under his guidance, they flew into the different meridians inside his body.
Suddenly, wisps of warm but strange streams of energy overflowed from all the meridians in his body and entered into his Profound Qi through his tendons.
Leylin’s body shook. He could clearly feel his Profound Qi compressing and strengthening with an amazing speed!
Within seconds, he could feel that his Profound Qi became five to six times more vigorous than before!
His strengthened Profound Qi suddenly started to gather in his lower abdomen and filled his entire body with power. Realizing that he must have finally refined and absorbed all the Profound Qi that he got from Master Kurt, Leylin was thrilled.
Leylin slowed his breathing and concentrated all his energy in operating all his Profound Qi towards his twelve Major Veins and eight Special Veins.
The overwhelming increase of Profound Qi stormed through his entire body like a raging flood. Leylin was able to unblock all his congested veins, albeit suffering from intense pain. He felt as if he were finally able to relax.
Now that his Profound Qi had become stronger than ever, it seemed to have unlimited potential. Like surging waves, the Profound Qi slowly went through a full circulation in his tendons and veins. Many congested tendon routes were unblocked by this flow of fierce force.
The sun had already set, and the moon was shining brightly in the starry sky.
Suddenly, Leylin’s body shook. With the last of his tendons cleared, Leylin was very excited. He was trying hard to contain his exuberance while circulating the Profound Qi in a full cycle throughout the body.
When his cycle was finally over, Leylin let out a long breath. After awakening from his intense cultivation, he looked up at the shining stars in the sky and his body’s energized cells felt nothing but unparalleled happiness.
Now that he had broken through all the tendons and veins in his body, it meant that he was officially in the Nascent realm!
Using the Profound Qi from Master Kurt, and through the incidents, he had finally purified all the power he got from him and broke through all his veins with the newly purified and concentrated Profound Qi. Now, he had finally entered into a whole new level.
So far, Leylin few victims of were just Elementary Realm Warriors with moderate energy, he could still control his internal composition easily.
But, Master Kurt’s level was a whole realm higher than his and his Profound Qi contained too many negative emotions which needed to be removed by his devour system, taking a sustainable amount of time. Therefore, this time Leylin couldn’t control his breakthrough as smoothly as before.
Right now, since he had fully purified all of Master Kurt’s Profound Qi and entered a completely new level, Leylin didn’t need to worry about the backlash anymore.
“Crack, crack!”
After stretching his body a little Leylin stood up slowly. His body was brimming with power as his muscles bulged, despite his slim figure his whole being was engulfed in a powerful wave of explosive energy.
After checking his body, Leylin found his body was in an even more strengthen state with greater growth. This made him happy.
“A.I.Chip show my stats!”
[Beep! (Berkan Lenoir) Leylin Farlier, Strength: 5.6, Agility: 5.1, vitality: 6.6, Profound Qi: First Sky of Nascent Realm. Status: Healthy]
[Beep! According to the artificial simulation, the skill [Ramage] has also been empowered, The innate bloodline power [Immortal Martial Spirit] has been further strengthen with the bloodline purity and power increment; The evaluation of other bloodline power cannot be made because of lack of information!]
Leylin observed his growth and knew that his increase in strength was not only due to his breakthrough to a new realm, but also had something to do with his ‘Immortal Martial Spirit’.
Looking around, Leylin realized that the location he was in was completely hidden, with dense tree cover or shade, finding such a place for himself during breakthrough was a subconscious action on the part of his careful Magus personality.
Realizing that he had been cultivating in this closed space, observing everything around him, Leylin felt a little good.
“Its been around 7 hours!” Leylin glanced at the clock showing the time in his A. I. Chip interface.
He knew that the sky was still bright when he fell under the effects of bottleneck, however, now it was already midnight. He must have been cultivating for a long time without realizing.
“I should take a look back at them, the fight must be starting soon.” Leylin thought as he walked outside following the hard yet discernible trail.
Based on the what he knew about the five people, Leylin knew that they were being chased by someone. However, out of his own personal benefit consideration, he didn’t think too much and decided to continue following them.
..
Beside a small gentle stream, the Ground Dragon was drinking water quietly, many different bottles and jars hung on its robust body.
Mary Dunn was sitting upright in a sedan on the dragon while playing with a blue smoke bomb in her hand, lost in thought.
Recently, she has been haunted by Leylin’s image in her head. Every time she remembered the cold decisiveness and indifference in Leylin’s eyes, she became restless. How she wished she could catch him, break his bones, and tear his tendons.
Given Master Kury’s death, she had already released the medicine slaves who were of no use now.
She had with her five warriors of the Elementary Realm from the Dunn family. Their power was insufficient to help her search for Leylin. As such, she could only wait for the aid from her family.
All of a sudden, a pale blue light shot up across the sky about five miles ahead. Thick mists lingered with the blue light and dissipated slowly.
“They’ve finally arrived!” Mary’s spirit rose. She immediately threw the blue smoke bomb in her hand up into the sky, and thus the same pale blue light was seen above her.
The warriors around the Ground Dragon rejoiced with a lively outburst of happiness as if they were getting ready for a fight.
In less than a quarter of an hour, three dark shadows showed up from afar and flew in their direction. The first of them had a graceful beard and wore an indifferent smile. He approached Mary and laughed loudly. “Little Marie, where is Master Kurt?”
“Third uncle, Master Kurt is dead.” Mary huffed her chest calming her emotions as he swallowed her pride and explained, “We met a thief mid-way. He being only in the Elementary realm, was somehow able to decapitate Master Kurt. I just can’t figure it out.”
Wilde Dunn smile disappeared at once and his face turned pale: “Have you got the things that were on Kurt?”
Mary shook her head, “They were taken by that thief.”
“Fool!”
Wilde cursed in a low voice. With a cold face, he observed: “We received information that Kurt had stolen an incomplete map of the ‘Gate of Heaven’ from his teacher. His teacher, Eren Katz, is looking for him everywhere for that incomplete picture. It is said there are Martial Skills of the Spirit and even Sacred level in the God Area where the Gate of Heaven leads to! I came here in a hurry with two dedicators just for that incomplete picture! But you let him die! You really are a fool!”
“What?” Mary’s pretty face was shocked, “How could that be?”
“Why would Kurt leave Medicine Valley with you if it weren’t for the fact that he stole the treasure map from his teacher? You think he was attracted by the wealth of Dunn family? Hmph! In fear of his teacher Eren Katz, he attempted to seek shelter in the Merchant Union. ”
Wilde thought seriously for a second and reproached, “Tell me the details. That kid must be still in the Dark Forest. We have to find him! The map means a lot. We, the Dunn family, have to get it!”
Mary started to realize how bad the situation was. Other than the fact that she was harassed by Leylin, she truthfully told him all the details.
“Dumbass!” Wilde cursed again. He flew into a rage, “You didn’t keep chasing him? That bastard is only in the Elementary Realm! No matter how he killed Kurt, he must have paid a significant price. He was probably severely injured. If you had chased him you could have killed him easily! Idiot!”
“I was afraid that we would suffer more losses, so… ” Mary lowered her head in shame.
“Only an Elementary Realm guy and you were afraid of him?” Wilde was stomping the ground angrily, “You wasted so many resources of our Dunn family! What are you doing now? Show me the way! You! You! You! Bring the Ground Dragon back to the Merchant Union through the secure route. Others, follow me and search!”
