Chapter 8: The Exploding Body Crisis
Xiao Yao had already consumed a lot of excess immortal yuan using the "Lingmu Guantian" technique while searching for Chu Yu.
Because Chu Yu's physical condition was unknown when she was found, it didn't continue. Now after a series of twists and turns, the Xian Yuan inside hasn't stopped refining.
"Xianyuan, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the source of chaos. The boundless chaos gives rise to Taiji, Taiji separates into yin and yang. The Tao Te Ching says "The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, blending their energies to form harmony."
This is some records about the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in "Fa Tian Bao Jian".
What is called Xianyuan and Tiandi Lingqi is the Chaos Qi. After the opening of Heaven and Earth from Chaos, the two extremes of Yin and Yang were differentiated. It is extremely rare to have a natural substance that can fully contain both extremes of energy and achieve stability and balance with great power.
These "earthly milk" swallowed by Xiao Yao are natural spiritual objects with stable and balanced energy. However, this balance cannot be maintained forever.
Those fragrances that evaporate are actually the spiritual nature of this spirit naturally adjusting this balance. However, after this thick liquid was swallowed by Xiao Yao, the normal balance was disrupted.
The two extreme energies of yin and yang began to decompose continuously, finally being assimilated into a vortex like Taiji formed in the Xuan Yao Dan Tian, ultimately reaching a new balance. This balanced energy produced in his body is the self-original Qi that he refined.
However, the speed of this refinement is limited by Xiao Yao's own ability and cannot keep up with the dissolution and decomposition of Dilu True Dew. It had already reached saturation under Xiao Yao's body refinement absorption earlier.
Thereafter, the excess spiritual energy of heaven and earth was again consumed by nearly a third through his use of the "Spiritual Eyes Observing Heaven" technique. Nevertheless, there still remained an enormous amount of leftover energy that could not be absorbed or digested.
And the decomposition of this earthly truth will not stop with the cessation of the cycle of Zhou Tian, but rather accelerate.
During the time it took Xiao Yao to get here, a lot more of the unrefined Xian Yuan energy that had accumulated in his Dantian increased, and the speed at which these extreme Yin-Yang energies gathered in his Dantian was much faster than the rotation speed of the vortex in his Dantian.
This has caused Xiao Yao's dantian to be greatly expanded, and so much unordered extreme opposing energy accumulated, which in turn hinders the rotation of the dantian vortex.
Xiao Yao had originally planned to use the previous method to consume more of Xian Yuan's energy, so he once again activated the "Lingmu Guantian" technique. However, as soon as Yuan Shuai started to operate the technique and seal the imprint, the extreme energies of yin and yang in his dantian suddenly began to riot.
These riotous extreme energies entwined, combined and confronted each other in Xiao Yao's dantian, finally forming two independent energy flows.
However, these two energy flows are out of control and cannot form a balanced state according to the structure of the dantian vortex. They all entangle and struggle to expand outward.
The immortal yuan in the dantian is constantly dissolving and condensing. The yin-yang energy flow continuously combines with newly emerged energies of the same attribute, growing stronger. At this rate, it will soon reach the critical point that Xiao Yao's fragile dantian can withstand.
At that time, Xiao Yao's outcome had only one possibility——
Explosion!
"Who!" Chu Yu's weak voice came from beside her ear, she woke up. However, at this time, Xiao Yao had no way to answer her.
A faint light appeared in the dark cave. Chu Yu turned on her flashlight.
Chu Yu, who seemed to have been stepped on by Xiao Yao just now, slowly regained consciousness from her daze. She felt that there was someone beside her and vigilantly called out to ask. However, the other party did not respond, nor did they make any other movements.
She fumbled in her heart and found the flashlight she was carrying. Under the light of the flashlight, she saw a familiar face.
"Xiao Yao!" Chu Yu pushed Xiao Yao with her hand, but as soon as she touched him, she also jumped down.
It's scalding!
Xiao Yao's face turned red for a moment, her whole body burning like a hot iron. But then it was extremely cold again, her complexion deathly pale. Facing Xiao Yao who seemed to have contracted malaria, Chu Yu didn't know what to do either.
She actually panicked soon after entering the cave and found herself lost. Then she ran around trying to find a way out, but because of her panic, she fell into this hole and finally fainted from hunger.
When she woke up, she found Xiao Yao beside her, but the narrow cave indicated that she had not been rescued, and Xiao Yao had also fallen into the pit to find her. Xiao Yao was ill again at this moment, what should be done?
This question left her at a loss for a moment.
Xiao Yao's current state was extremely poor, his entire dantian was in disarray. The original yuanqi vortex that normally circulated within the dantian had completely stopped due to the violent and chaotic yin-yang energy, which also continued to surge out of control.
These yin and yang energies that were decomposed from Xianyuan should still be able to reach a balance in terms of quantity. However, Xiao Yao is a man, and he's an unspilled yuan-yang boy, which means the yin and yang energies inside him are not in a balanced state.
Yang energy gradually becomes stronger, while yin energy becomes weaker. At this time, the resistance of yin energy is even stronger. Therefore, in terms of external manifestation, Xiao Yao's body began to appear in a state of coldness for a long time.
His whole body was trembling and his teeth were clenched. The whole person was like an ice cube getting colder and colder.
"Brrr! So cold......" Xiao Yao shivered and trembled for a while.
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and threw herself at Xiao Yao's body, tightly embracing him. Maybe her own body heat could bring some warmth to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao could feel the soft body in his arms, and also felt the warmth of the face stuck to his. However, he couldn't speak or move.
At this moment, the soul crystal in his sea of consciousness suddenly accelerated its rotation speed, and the primordial spirit on the spiritual platform, which had already been somewhat stagnant, spontaneously formed a handprint. The primordial energy vortex in the elixir field, which had slowed down almost to a standstill, seemed to have gained momentum and accelerated again.
Something changed in the midst of the three yuan, Xiao Yao had some feeling, but he seemed to have lost control of his actions and suddenly tightened his hands, holding Chu Yu tightly, and then did something that Chu Yu could not imagine.
He pounced on her like a beast...
Chu Yu's whole body stiffened. Then her entire body seemed to have lost all sensation, and the consciousness in her brain was also "buzzing" with a blank space.
After Zhu You fell into an unconscious state, the yin and yang energy in Xiao Yao's body seemed to be forcibly suppressed by an external force for a moment. In that instant, Xiao Yao's primordial spirit formed the last hand seal of the law.
Starting from Xiao Yao's dantian vortex, the circulation of qi in his body began to recover once again.
However, this time's meridian running route is somewhat different from his original trajectory.
These energies should return to the Dan Tian after the refinement of the cyclone, but at this time, due to the physical contact between the two people, under the natural guidance of the original energy filled with yang energy, these intense energies have a venting channel.
Through this channel directly entered Chu Yu's yin body, these energies walked a circle in Chu Yu's body and finally returned to Xiao Yao's dantian.
However, the yuanqi that returned to Xiao Yao's dantian was different from before. These yuanqi were more refined and compressed, originally gaseous, now they had become liquid.
Two people thus entered a strange state of cultivation.
