Free Web NovelChapter 46: Formation of the Qi Sea
Tang Yin did not go anywhere after leaving the auction hall, he circled around many places around Maple Leaf City while constantly monitoring his surroundings with the Heaven Piercing Gaze.
Once he determined no one was following him, he let out the suffocating Xiao Fei from under his black cloak. She immediately flew onto Tang Yin’s shoulder; a look of displeasure was visible in her expression, but she did not dare express it.
Tang Yin noticed this and gently stroked Xiao Fei’s head, he sent a thought of apology to her through their connection. Only then did the look of displeasure disappear from her face.
Tang Yin had completed his preparations for his attempt to form a Qi Sea, whether he failed or not depended on his luck and precision during the formation of the Qi Sea. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Tang Yin headed back into the Demonic Beast Mountain; he did not enter the Middle Ring though. He scouted out a cave in the Outer Ring, once he cleared out the cave, he told Xiao Fei to guard him. As long as a Physique Transformation Cultivator or Rank 2 Demonic Beast did not appear, he would be safe.
In truth, most cultivators knew how to form a Qi Sea. One only had to absorb the Qi from the world and direct it into the lower abdomen. The amalgamation of Qi would eventually take a spherical form and turn into a Qi Sea once enough Qi was accumulated.
The only problem was that a Training Manual was required to absorb the Qi from the world, unless one came from a family that possessed a Training Manual, knowing how to create a Qi Sea was useless without a method to absorb Qi from the world.
Most cultivators would choose to enter a family or sect and accumulate enough contributions to obtain a Training Manual. But Tang Yin was different, he had the Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit. He did not need a Training Manual to absorb Qi from the world.
The only reason why he did not absorb Qi into his body in the past was because he had no Qi Sea to store it.
Training Manuals had 9 Tiers, the higher the tier of the Training Manual, the quicker the Qi from the world could be absorbed by a cultivator. This directly affected the speed at which one cultivated and advanced, and also the reason why the appearance of a high-tier Training Manual could cause a war.
As Tang Yin recalled all he knew about forming a Qi Sea and Training Manuals, he brought out all of his Spirit Stones. This included 13 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and 250+ Low-grade Spirit Stones. When Xiao Fei saw the Spirit Stones, she almost could not control her urges to pounce on the Spirit Stones as she had done before. But once she remembered Tang Yin’s ruthlessness, she forced down that urge.
Tang Yin noticed all of this and casually said, "If you do a good job of protecting me while I form my Qi Sea, I’ll give you some Spirit Stones." Xiao Fei immediately flew towards the entrance of the cave with a fierce gaze filled with determination.
Xiao Fei had the strength of a peak Rank 1 Demonic Beast; Tang Yin could form his Qi Sea with complete assurance of his safety. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Tang Yin did not delay any longer, he did not rush but calmly entered a meditative state. He held 2 Mid-grade Spirit Stones in both of his hands and the Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit manifested behind him.
’Devour’ Tang Yin commanded in his mind, the 2 Mid-grade Spirit Stones slowly lost their lustre before turning into dust and scattering away. All the Qi absorbed from the 2 Spirit Stones was directed into his abdomen with precise control.
When Tang Yin activated the Abyssal Sword in the past, he would observe the flow of energy from his Martial Spirit and even attempt to control it, after countless tries, he had managed to take full control of that energy and could control it as easily as breathing.
None of the Qi he absorbed seeped out of his body but was drawn into his lower abdomen efficiently. Tang Yin grabbed another 2 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and within a few breaths, they turned to dust and scattered.
There was quite a large amount of Qi gathered inside his abdomen, it was slowly taking the form of a sphere.
Tang Yin did not hesitate to grab another 2 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, the Spirit Stones in his hands rapidly lost their colour and eventually scattered away. The shape of a sphere in his abdomen became even more clear and corporal.
Tang Yin did not hesitate to grab the remaining Mid-grade Spirit Stones, when all the Mid-grade Spirit Stones had turned to dust and scattered away, Tang Yin started absorbing the Low-grade Spirit Stones. He did not absorb them one by one as he did with the Mid-grade Spirit Stones but in batches of 40.
When there were only around 100 Low-grade Spirit Stones left, the shape and form of Tang Yin’s Qi Sea took complete form. He had successfully formed his Qi Sea!
Tang Yin’s expression was not one of excitement but one of doubt and suspicion. Whenever a cultivator formed their Qi Sea, they would face an invisible barrier preventing them from doing so. The strength of that invisible barrier depended on the potential of a cultivator.
Tang Yin’s formation of his Qi Sea had been smooth, a bit too smooth. He did not face an invisible barrier or any obstacles. He inspected his abyssal black Qi Sea again to make sure it was perfect and contained nothing suspicious.
After confirming everything was as it should be, he let out a breath of relief, he decided not to think about this matter. Instead, he roared towards the sky in joy and happiness. Tang Yin had successfully reached the 1st stage of the Physique Transformation Realm.
