Chapter 51 - Infusion of Essence!
In the Primordial Land, although Leng Yan had entered once before, he needed to understand some things before cultivating his Divine Power and cultivation technique!
The primordial essence is undoubtedly the ancestor of all essences, and the more primordial essence within oneself, the more powerful the Divine Power will be. However, the Primordial Land has its unique rules.
Just like last time! As soon as Leng Yan’s water essence began to coalesce, a force expelled him. This is a rule, limiting the amount he can gather. Once this limit is exceeded, the rule intervenes to expel him.
Now, Leng Yan’s concern is his blackwater emperor technique! At this point, the blackwater emperor technique had reached a minor success, and his essence power was vastly different from before. Although there was only a single drop of primordial essence within, it already exceeded the limitations of the Primordial Land.
Would this mean Leng Yan can no longer enter the Primordial Land?
If restricted, what should he do? Should he cultivate the Scarlet Flame Emperor Technique and the Purple Gold Emperor Technique as ordinary essences? If so, his strength would be greatly diminished.
After contemplating for a long time, Leng Yan finally devised a plan. Taking a deep breath, his spirit lightened, his heart calmed, and his soul gradually connected with the Primordial Land in the Void. His spiritual mind seemed to transcend the void instantly, arriving at that gray realm.
“No rejection! So I can continue to refine!” Leng Yan thought joyfully, seeing the gray realm. However, just as he felt happy, a pressure enveloped him entirely. Suddenly, the gray realm formed a giant hand that swung fiercely!
Leng Yan felt a jolt in his spiritual mind, his head throbbing with pain, and he opened his eyes, his spiritual awareness returning to his sea of consciousness.
“Why is it like this? Is it because of the blackwater emperor technique that I can’t enter the Primordial Land again?” Leng Yan’s expression turned somber, his fists clenched. He was struggling, unsure if he should implement his plan!
“Do I really have to disperse my power? What if I can’t sense the Primordial Land after that?” Leng Yan furrowed his brows, uncertain whether to take the gamble.
“Let it be! Blackwater Emperor Technique!” Leng Yan’s eyes were filled with determination. The water essence within his body began to dissipate, but this essence power didn’t vanish; instead, it was entirely infused into the immortal land.
On the large wheel within the immortal land, the black crystal absorbed the water essence and started emitting a dark halo. Once all of Leng Yan’s water essence was infused, he could feel an inexplicable connection with the immortal land, akin to a bond of flesh and blood. However, Leng Yan knew this didn’t mean he had successfully claimed it as his own-only that the immortal land had developed a favorable impression of him.
Having lost the water essence, Leng Yan’s strength diminished significantly. Now, Leng Yan was merely a standout in the true essence realm, making it very difficult for him to challenge opponents beyond his level.
Leng Yan was taking a gamble! As long as he could enter the Primordial Land, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds, without regression.
Closing his eyes again, his mental power transformed into spiritual awareness, beginning to sense the distant Void.
Gradually, within the pitch-black Void, a gray landscape appeared-that was the Primordial Land!
His spiritual awareness arrived once more in this realm, feeling the pressure descend once again. Yet, the pressure swept over and then vanished without a trace, indicating that Leng Yan had obtained a “passage token.”
In the dim world, the eruption of a Volcano thundered throughout, with mists swirling in the gray sky.
Leng Yan focused his thoughts, and ten primordial spirit elixirs in the immortal land shattered simultaneously, turning into a torrent of essence power flowing into the immortal land. With this essence power, the immortal land spun rapidly, and to the naked eye, it appeared as though a golden sun hung above Leng Yan’s head.
Runes fell around him, creating a pattern of a Yin-Yang Fish beneath Leng Yan, suddenly freezing time, leaving only the Yin-Yang Fish slowly rotating.
Leng Yan, experienced in such matters, knew that once a type of essence had successfully coalesced, he would be expelled, so he was in no rush to gather his own essence power.
His spiritual awareness spread outwards-the eruption of the Volcano and the crimson molten lava contained the Scarlet Flame Essence, while the rising mist in the air was the water essence. However, the metal essence was still elusive to Leng Yan.
Leng Yan’s spiritual awareness searched throughout the gray realm, but he couldn’t find the metal essence. Just as he was puzzled, a sharp aura emanated from the Volcano, sending a jolt through Leng Yan’s spiritual mind.
This feeling was unmistakably brought by the metal essence, exuding a dominating and fierce aura.
He directed a part of his spiritual awareness into the Volcano, which was filled with Water Qi, flames, and a faint purple metallic Qi.
“Now that I’ve found all three essences, and the rules dictate the amount I can gather, I’ll just control this amount and first fill the immortal land with the necessary essences!” Leng Yan thought to himself.
His spiritual awareness split into three, each gathering the respective essence power. Whenever it was about to coalesce into essence, Leng Yan transferred this Primordial Qi back into his body, then released it to infuse into the immortal land.
Although Leng Yan infused raw elemental qi, the immortal land seemed to have a special function, being able to autonomously coalesce it into essence power.
Seeing this, Leng Yan grew even happier, continuously transmitting the primordial qi into the immortal land.
For a year, Leng Yan repeated this process daily. At this point, the crystalline symbols representing fire, metal, and water on the wheel within the immortal land were radiantly glowing. However, Leng Yan could feel that reaching a perfect realm was still a long way off.
Yet, his efforts were not in vain. Finally, the immortal land rewarded Leng Yan with a secret incantation implanted in his mind, one that could activate the immortal land’s formation.
By consuming a certain amount of essence power, he could conjure a clone. This clone was merely a figure but could serve as a life-saving scapegoat in critical moments.
Half of the two-year span afforded by the ten primordial spirit elixirs had passed. Leng Yan decided to stop transmitting essence into the immortal land and begin gathering his own essence power.
Over the past year, Leng Yan had become adept at gathering elemental qi. With a mere thought, he gathered the nascent forms of three hundred element essences.
This included one hundred drops of metal essence, one hundred drops of fire essence, and one hundred drops of water essence.
This was the maximum capacity Leng Yan could currently endure. If he could fully coalesce these three hundred drops into essence and fuse them at the moment just before being expelled, Leng Yan would achieve the maximum potential of element essence.
Inside the Volcano, a hundred faint purple gold orbs were slowly rotating, with streams of purple metal essence converging upon them, causing their color to deepen. At the bottom, a hundred fire seeds were burning and leaping, absorbing Primordial Qi of fire. In the air, a hundred water droplets were also spinning slowly, having coalesced into a brown color.
Leng Yan multitasked, continuously coalescing the essences, while time flew by. In the blink of an eye, six months passed.
The hundred gold orbs had turned deep purple, just a step away from becoming true metal essence orbs, so Leng Yan ceased their coalescence. The fire seeds and water droplets had also reached their final stage.
“It’s time for fusion!”
Leng Yan stopped gathering Primordial Qi. All the gold orbs, fire seeds, and water droplets had approached the brink of becoming essences. If they coalesced into a single drop of essence, Leng Yan would be expelled, ending in failure.
Now, Leng Yan aimed to fuse the hundred into one, a challenging task requiring the simultaneous coalescence of the three essences.
This was the moment of truth. Leng Yan focused his mental power intently, and his spiritual awareness enveloped the Primordial Qi orbs. Then, in a flash, his spiritual awareness surged like lightning. The hundred fire seeds merged simultaneously, and what was initially a flickering flame burst into a palm-sized crimson fire.
As the fire seeds coalesced, the gold orbs and water droplets also merged at once. Each formed a peanut-sized orb after the hundred coalesced together.
The metal essence, fire essence, and water essence emerged simultaneously, and the previously gray sky suddenly became much clearer. Leng Yan saw beneath the Volcano, where a large ancient tree now stood in what was once pure gray fog. Beneath the ancient tree was a yellow hill.
Those were the wood essence and earth essence! At that moment, the immense pressure descended again, accompanied by a gigantic hand swooping down.
“This is bad! It’s going to destroy my essence power!” Leng Yan sensed the destructive aura emanating from the hand, and his expression shifted dramatically. He hurriedly swept up the three essences and retreated to his sea of consciousness.
