Chapter 108: Condensing a Spirit Vein
’How do I control the essence of the Heaven Devouring Abyss?’ Tang Yin questioned himself. He was not sure how to control the essence, he had only controlled Abyss Qi before. Therefore, he had to experiment with the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
Tang Yin manifested the Martial Spirit, a black vortex enveloped by black and red lightning shrouded the cave. He then commanded the Martial Spirit to surge into him. freēwēbnovel.com
Tang Yin cut off the flow of the Heaven Devouring Abyss when a little bit of it entered his body. Then he tried to condense the part of the Heaven Devouring Abyss which had entered his body.
To his surprise, the Heaven Devouring Abyss actually compressed and started to condense. Tang Yin knew the essence of the Heaven Devouring Abyss was itself, this was exactly what it meant.
In other words, the Heaven Devouring Abyss was what the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit was referring to when it talked about the essence of the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
The part of the Heaven Devouring Abyss Tang Yin compressed was not enough to condense a spirit vein. Tang Yin controlled the Heaven Devouring Abyss to slowly surge into his body as it compressed and condensed to form the faint outline of a black vein.
Tang Yin continued this process, every time a piece of essence was condensed, he would let the Heaven Devouring Abyss surge into his body. The Heaven Devouring Abyss became smaller and smaller each time it surged into Tang Yin’s body. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The faint outline of the spirit vein became clearer and more corporal as the essence of the Heaven Devouring Abyss condensed itself.
Half an hour passed. Tang Yin continued this process. The Heaven Devouring Abyss turned dull, its size had been reduced by 40%.
When the Heaven Devouring Abyss was reduced to half of its size, a bang reverberated in Tang Yin’s body. A pitch-black vein manifested on Tang Yin’s forearm, he had succeeded in condensing his first spirit vein!
The thick aura of the 1st stage of Spirit Vein Condensation Realm spread out from Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was perplexed once more, most cultivators would face a barrier during a breakthrough to a major realm. The strength of the barrier would depend on a cultivator’s potential. However, Tang Yin did not face a barrier. This had also happened when Tang Yin formed his Qi Sea, this was a mystery which left him confused and perplexed even now.
Nonetheless, Tang Yin decided not to dwell on this fact. He had reached a realm most cultivators would struggle to reach in their lifetimes, it was a joyous occasion.
Tang Yin recalled the Heaven Devouring Abyss into his body, it had become dull and been reduced in size significantly. Tang Yin was sure the essence of the Heaven Devouring Abyss could be replenished, therefore he was not worried.
Tang Yin went back to the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit in his mind, since he had reached the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm, he could view the 3rd layer describing the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm. His expression remained calm as he read the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit.
It was vindicated that a cultivator would need to condense 99 spirit veins before being able to advance into the next stage of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm. Once a cultivator condensed a total of 999 spirit veins, they would reach the peak of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm.
Likewise, a cultivator with more spirit veins would be stronger compared to cultivators with fewer spirit veins. However, the difference in strength depended on the disparity between the number of spirit veins cultivators possessed.
If the difference between spirit veins was in the hundreds, the strength of each cultivator would be vastly different. Whereas, if the difference between spirit veins was only a few tens, the difference between the cultivator’s strength would not be huge and could be made up with external objects such as Artifacts or higher-tier Martial Skills.
After Tang Yin read about the basic information of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm. He moved on to the truly exciting part, the Martial Skills he would obtain once he reached a certain stage in the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm.
According to the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit, Tang Yin would receive 2 Martial Skills. One Martial Skill could be obtained in the 3rd stage and the other in the 7th stage. This was basically the same as the Spirit Channelling and Physique Transformation Realms.
The first Martial Skill was called Void Chains, the second Martial Skill was called Heaven Shrouding Palm. This was the only thing Tang Yin could view at the moment, the rest would only be available once he reached the 3rd and 7th stages in the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm.
However, Tang Yin had his own speculations based on the names of the Martial Skills. He reconned the Void Chains was a restriction type Martial Skill. And the Heaven Shrouding Palm was a type of offensive Martial Skill. But he did not dwell on this too much either, he would find out once he reached those stages.
