Chapter 460: Chapter 205: Endless Dantian, Power Awakening
At that moment, Chu Lingguang’s physical body was completely unresponsive. He saw the two rings of light outside his Sea of Consciousness grow even more solid, as if determined to seal him inside.
’Could it be... that the intense pain stimulated my Sea of Consciousness? Is that why it sealed my consciousness away—so it wouldn’t have to feel the pain?’
’This... The Sea of Consciousness has always been mysterious, but for it to be able to control its own master’s consciousness... That’s just unbelievable!’
Chu Lingguang found it unbelievable.
"Why isn’t it working?"
"Damn it, is he going to fall into a permanent coma?!"
Outside, Li Dayao and Liu Wan were breaking out in a cold sweat. They had brought Chu Lingguang back to the academy with the good intention of helping him awaken his Elixir Field Power. If he fell into a deep sleep because of this and missed the Provincial Examination’s Martial Arts Examination, how would they ever explain themselves to Mr. Du and Guo Wei?
Even if the others forgave them, they could never forgive themselves.
"What do we do now?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Liu Wan was at a complete loss.
Despite being respected teachers at the academy, neither of them had ever encountered a situation like this. For a moment, they had no idea what to do.
At first, they had assumed Chu Lingguang had simply passed out. They figured the pain had made his mind go blank and that his consciousness was just struggling to resurface. But now, they realized the situation was not so simple.
"We have to inform his master and Mr. Du immediately," Li Dayao said.
"But... agh!"
Liu Wan knew their reputations would take a hit, but if they didn’t wake Chu Lingguang up soon, he might never wake up at all.
’Mr. Li! Mr. Liu! I’m fine!’ Chu Lingguang shouted from within his Sea of Consciousness.
But all he saw were ripples spreading across the two rings of light. The sound he produced from within his Sea of Consciousness never reached Li Dayao and Liu Wan.
’I can’t let them notify my master,’ Chu Lingguang told himself. ’Even if he came, he wouldn’t be able to help. The only one who can wake me up is me.’
’No way am I going to be defeated by something like this. How can I be trapped by my own Sea of Consciousness? There has to be a way out.’
Chu Lingguang looked up at the great Qi Vortex suspended within his Sea of Consciousness. After a moment’s thought, he tried to control its power. At his mental command, the great vortex began to spin faster, and a steady stream of power converged on his consciousness.
He was delighted.
It was his own Sea of Consciousness Power, after all. Even though his consciousness couldn’t control his body, it could still control this energy.
So, he tried to use this power to smash into the two rings of light outside his Sea of Consciousness.
BOOM!
A tremor coursed through his consciousness.
The two rings of light rippled, and a sliver of power seeped out. Just as Liu Wan was about to leave to find Guo Wei, he and Li Dayao, who was sitting by the bed, both felt a Spiritual Sense Fluctuation emanate from Chu Lingguang’s body.
"This..." Both of them froze.
"The kid is still conscious," Li Dayao exclaimed.
"It’s like he’s trying to tell us he’s not in a coma," Liu Wan added.
"Maybe he’s found some other way to stimulate himself. Let’s not do anything rash for now," Li Dayao said after a moment of thought.
"He scared me half to death," Liu Wan said, nodding.
BOOM!
Chu Lingguang once again directed the power within his Sea of Consciousness to slam against the two rings of light. Another Spiritual Sense Fluctuation erupted from his body. As the rings rippled, a stream of the escaping power followed some kind of connection, seeping into his Dantian and causing it to vibrate as well.
A person’s Dantian Qi Sea and their Sea of Consciousness are connected in countless intricate ways.
In Chu Lingguang’s case, his Dantian Qi Sea and Sea of Consciousness were already linked by a particular force. This force acted like a web, permeating his entire body and tying the two together.
Now, as he struck his Sea of Consciousness, those unique fluctuations were also impacting his Dantian Qi Sea. Imperceptibly, a series of responses began to form within his Dantian.
Although Chu Lingguang was trapped in his Sea of Consciousness, he could still hear the sounds from the outside world. His consciousness also began to gradually sense the phenomena occurring within his Dantian.
Now that his consciousness was fully immersed in his Sea of Consciousness, he found he could flawlessly recite the Endless Elixir Field Cultivation Method, which he had only ever read once. The visions from within his Dantian grew exceptionally clear, allowing him to perceive every single response.
He was overjoyed.
He continued to direct his Sea of Consciousness Power to strike the two rings of light. He knew they were the Sea of Consciousness’s defensive mechanism, meant to block Spiritual Power attacks from others. He never imagined that, for some unknown reason, they would end up sealing away his own consciousness.
What he was doing now was akin to using the Qi Sea Power within one’s Dantian to assault its very walls in hopes of a response. But that was a method of self-destruction that not only caused immense pain but also damaged the Dantian itself.
Similarly, using his own Sea of Consciousness Power to attack its defenses would also harm the Sea of Consciousness. This was a form of mental damage. However, Chu Lingguang had already mastered the Consciousness Sea Power Basic Cultivation Method. As long as his Sea of Consciousness didn’t collapse, any damage could be repaired.
Most importantly, since his consciousness was trapped within his Sea of Consciousness, Chu Lingguang couldn’t feel any physical or mental pain. He could, however, clearly perceive the series of responses coming from his Dantian.
After several more impacts,
Chu Lingguang watched the ripples on the two rings of light grow increasingly violent until, finally, the light dimmed. With a mental command, his consciousness seized control of his body once more.
He convulsed violently on the bed.
A wave of dizziness washed over him, and he felt himself about to pass out again. He knew it was an aftereffect of using his Consciousness Power to attack his own Sea of Consciousness, but he couldn’t worry about that now. He focused all his mental energy and sent his consciousness into his Dantian.
Immediately, from within his Dantian, Chu Lingguang heard the neigh of the Little Red Horse.
He then saw a Wind and Wave Power taking shape, surging like a great tide within his Dantian. The neigh of the Little Red Horse grew clearer and brighter until, in a trance, he saw the Little Red Horse itself appear inside his Dantian, riding the Wind and Wave Power and galloping freely within.
(I couldn’t keep my promise, I’m going to get flamed to death today! Please give me a chance to make it up tomorrow.)
