A Typical Reincarnation

Chapter 14 - Rainbow Core

Rays of green light flashed in the Four Divinities Cavern, and its afterimage gradually dimmed. A small silhouette appeared in its place. At this moment, Xu Qi was wielding the bronze sword he used previously, with his forehead full of sweat and his breath short.

"This can't do. The first technique feels more familiar now, but there's not a single bit of progress with the others," Xu Qi was dissatisfied with his training today.

Xu Qi sat down cross-legged, slowly stabilizing his quick breathing. He calmed himself down, then started cultivating Void Dao. For the past few days, he felt the qi within his body was getting out of control, like something inside of him was going to burst out from within. Unbeknownst to him, the three hundred years' worth of cultivation, granted to him by the three Green Mystique Fruits, could possibly rob him of his life at any moment. If Xu Qi were a normal human who hadn't eaten the Celestial Core Pill, his body would have already exploded.

In ancient times, consuming a Green Mystique Fruit would increase 100 years of cultivation. However, 100 years' worth of cultivation during the ancient times could never be compared to 100 years' worth of cultivation in the current day and age! After all, cultivators from ancient times, like Venerable Ziyan, were all treading the path of immortality.

Right now, the energy contained within the three Green Mystique Fruits Xu Qi consumed was fully activated. If it weren't for the strong medicinal effects from the Celestial Core Pill protecting his heart, Xu Qi would have disappeared from this world for good.

Xu Qi used his spiritual sense to check on the large mass of energy within himself. It would cause great pain to Xu Qi every time it collided with itself. "Damn, what is causing so much pain?!" Xu Qi cursed as he endured the pain.

Once again, Xu Qi calmed himself down. He used the cultivation method of Void Dao to guide the large mass of energy into proper circulation. After a few cycles of circulation, the pain significantly reduced. However, Xu Qi still had no idea on how he should deal with the mass of energy.

Just as Xu Qi was still troubling over this, the mass of energy completed nine cycles of circulation. During the tenth cycle, the mass of energy went out of control when it approached Xu Qi's heart. All the energy directly rushed towards the cardiac atrium through his meridians. Xu Qi was greatly shocked, but he had no control over it.

When the mass of energy poured into the atrium, Xu Qi felt his life might be forfeit right there; he could vividly sense the power of the energy in him. He muttered, "I'm done for. Whatever, I have no cares in this world." He then fully opened his atrium and guided all the energy in.

Xu Qi felt his heart expanding as the energy entered his atrium. He looked down at his chest. To his surprise, there was a lump protruding out. His ribs in that area caused further pain for Xu Qi; he began to sweat furiously. Feeling despair, Xu Qi shut his eyes, waiting for his end.

Just as Xu Qi lost all hope, a rainbow energy appeared in his atrium. The energy enveloped the mass of destructive energy, forming a rainbow sphere. Then it slowly shrank. The pain immediately disappeared, and the lump in Xu Qi's chest also shrank in size. In the end, it returned to normal.

Xu Qi quickly operated his cultivation method and sent his spiritual sense to his cardiac atrium. He found the area around his atrium had already become a rainbow sphere of energy. It seemed to be nourishing his atrium, making Xu Qi feel very comfortable. As time passed, the rainbow sphere gradually shrank, till it eventually disappeared.

During the process of the rainbow sphere disappearing, some changes occurred to Xu Qi's heart; now, the originally blood-red heart's appearance had changed to one enveloped by a layer of materialized rainbow energy through the sphere's nourishment.
