The first to be alarmed was Yun Yun.
Due to her hurried return, she had just announced the acceptance of a new personal disciple and was immediately summoned by the Council of Elders. Some matters were simply too urgent to arrange, so Yun Yun directly brought Chen Mo back to her own palace.
However, she resided in the inner palace, while he was placed in the side palace.
The fluctuations in the surrounding Battle Qi could not escape Yun Yun, who kept a constant watch on the side palace.
"This kid, at it again. But what kind of Cultivation Method is this? So domineering."
Despite her doubts, Yun Yun took action, employing techniques to shield and isolate the palace.
The result of her swift actions was that many noticed immediately, but upon seeing it was the direction of the Sect Leader's palace, they harbored no suspicions.
Thus, this incident did not cause much of a stir within the Yunlan Sect.
This endless absorption continued for an unknown period until the commotion in the side palace finally subsided.
By then, Yun Yun was also drenched in sweat. Shielding the palace was no small feat; it was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and consumed a great deal of Battle Qi.
Side Palace.
Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, his mind filled with endless confusion.
First, such a massive absorption had not even awakened a single Giant Elephant Embryo Plate. (Only one had been awakened in total.)
Second, apart from the initial rapid progress in cultivating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, reaching the first minor achievement, he had made no progress at all in his recent cultivation.
Third, and this was something Chen Mo only realized upon finishing, the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength absorbed Battle Qi quickly, but very little of it was converted into energy within his body.
Fourth, he seemed to have hit a bottleneck.
"Damn, other transmigrators become invincible in an instant, some even start off invincible, and here I am, just a few chapters in, not even gaining any advantages, and already feeling drained?"
"Where exactly is the problem?"
"Could it be the difference between the worlds, one cultivating Yuan Qi and the other Battle Qi? Indeed, the descriptions of the Saint King's world are much more advanced than the Battle Qi Continent, but how come the initial progress was so fast?"
Let me think, how did the protagonist in Saint King obtain the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength?
Women?
No, that was his emotional experience.
"Could it be lightning strikes?" Chen Mo was somewhat horrified by the thought.
Although this was the Battle Qi Continent, a world of cultivators where absorbing fire and water for cultivation was commonplace, Chen Mo could never bring himself to attract lightning.
Even the Thousand Thunder Incantation mentioned that attracting lightning into the body was the fastest cultivation method.
But Chen Mo would rather die, jump off the peak of Yunlan Mountain, than attract lightning.
"Let's try the Amethyst Origin again."
With a thought, four bottles of Amethyst Origin were neatly arranged in front of Chen Mo.
Without hesitation, Chen Mo picked up one bottle, pulled out the stopper, and gulped it down.
Immediately, Chen Mo felt a rush.
Yes, indeed a rush, his entire head turned a bright red.
His body grew hotter, waves of heat emanating from various meridians, and the veins on his arms suddenly bulged.
In just over ten seconds, even his skin began to take on a purple hue.
"Damn, this is intense?" Struggling against the discomfort throughout his body, Chen Mo quickly activated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength to refine it.
Thus.
Another anomaly arose.
Yun Yun in the main palace, sensing this sudden change, widened her eyes, "Again?"
Helpless, she had to block it again.
But she found that the disturbance caused this time was even greater than the previous two, leaving her somewhat overwhelmed.
"It's coming, it's coming, that feeling is back."
Chen Mo was overjoyed. The pure energy transformed from the Amethyst Origin flowed through his meridians. He closed his eyes and meditated, visualizing himself turning into 840 million tiny particles, guiding the energy to rush towards one of them.
"Crack."
A faint sound, similar to glass breaking, emanated from within Chen Mo's body. A tiny particle suddenly developed a crack, and from it, a wisp of aura reminiscent of an ancient primordial beast awakening was released.
Just as Chen Mo felt that this giant elephant was about to emerge from the particle...
The energy was gone.
Damn it, another bottle.
He downed another bottle of Amethyst Origin.
Ah, the feeling is back.
Again.
The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!
Another soul-sublimating experience.
Damn.
He drank the third bottle.
This time, it finally lived up to expectations.
The aura of the primordial beast fully awakened.
For a moment, the entire palace seemed to tremble in fear of this aura.
"Pfft." Yun Yun, who was in the inner hall blocking the palace, was directly counterattacked by this aura and spat out blood.
The aura spread outside.
In the nearby residences of the elders, all the elders turned their gazes in this direction.
This aura made them feel threatened, made them tremble.
At the same time, they also noticed that this aura did not belong to their sect leader, Yun Yun.
There was someone else in the sect leader's palace.
And Chen Mo had also awakened the second Giant Elephant Strength, and his cultivation had reached the level of a Two-Star Battle Master.
Unfortunately, only a small portion of the third bottle of Amethyst Origin had been refined, with a large portion still unrefined within Chen Mo's body.
Therefore, before Chen Mo could fully savor the experience, he passed out.
"Clang." The fallen Chen Mo accidentally knocked over a teapot placed nearby.
Hearing the commotion inside, Yun Yun hurried in.
But when she saw the unconscious Chen Mo, her expression changed drastically. She quickly ran over, lifted Chen Mo, and cradled his head in her arms.
"So hot." Yun Yun felt the heat as soon as she touched his skin. Her jade-like hand touched his arm and infused a wisp of Battle Qi, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a domineering energy, what on earth has this guy done?"
With a glance, she noticed something. Yun Yun picked up a jade bottle near Chen Mo's feet and sniffed it. With her knowledge, it took her a while to realize it was Amethyst Origin.
"Good heavens, drinking three bottles of Amethyst Origin, are you trying to kill yourself?" A trace of anger flashed across Yun Yun's face, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of heartache.
Because she believed that the Sect Competition had put pressure on him, and his previous arrogance and bravado were just to reassure her. The moment she was gone, he had thrown himself into cultivation with all his might.
"Why are you so foolish? It's all my fault. But don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Yun Yun's eyes were filled with determination. She decided that once Chen Mo was fine, she would convene another Council of Elders.
To reason with them once more.
Yun Yun's jade-like hand brushed over Chen Mo's face, her eyes showing a hint of struggle. After a moment, she gritted
her teeth, first undid Chen Mo's robe, then her own, and then pressed her entire body against Chen Mo's back.
She decided to use the gentlest method to control the violent energy within Chen Mo's body.
