Chapter 452 - 449: The Bizarre Vortex
"Swoosh!"
A small baby, with tiny arms and legs, popped out from above Gao Fei's head, shrouded in a circle of hazy halos, looking dream-like and quite a pleasing sight.
The baby's appearance was exactly like Gao Fei—in fact, it was a mini version of Gao Fei.
Gao Fei reached out to hold the baby in his arms, then looked at it with wonder, "So this is the Nascent Soul? My Nascent Soul? It looks so tiny?"
"Congratulations, Master, on successfully condensing your Nascent Soul," Chen San and Liu Qing stepped forward to congratulate him together.
"Don't be in a hurry, sooner or later, you will also condense your Nascent Souls," Gao Fei laughed heartily, his mood was incredibly uplifted by his successful advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Master, how does it feel to have advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage?" Chen San asked curiously.
"Do you feel much stronger?" Liu Qing asked with wide eyes.
It was clear that Chen San and Liu Qing yearned for the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Well…," Gao Fei pondered for a moment, "After advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, I feel lighter, my mental power has also strengthened considerably, the True Qi in my body has become richer, and the changes in my Dantian… There have been so many changes, I can't even fully comprehend them all right now."
"I envy Master so much," Chen San said enviously, "I wonder when I'll be able to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage."
"I need to work hard," Liu Qing swung his fist, "and strive to catch up with Master's footsteps soon."
"With your aptitudes, you will definitely be able to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage," Gao Fei said with a smile.
"Achoo!"
The Nascent Soul sitting in Gao Fei's arms suddenly opened its mouth and sneezed loudly.
"You little rascal, even your sneeze is startling me," Gao Fei tapped the Nascent Soul lightly.
The Nascent Soul glanced at Gao Fei, pouted its mouth, and looked rather dissatisfied.
"Oh? You dare to show me an attitude!" Gao Fei laughed, "Little guy, you were created by me, I am your parent, you must listen to me! Do not throw tantrums at me, got it?"
The Nascent Soul rolled its eyes, turned its head away, and ignored Gao Fei completely.
"Believe it or not, I'll…" Gao Fei was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul glared at Gao Fei, stood up straight, hands on hips, head tilted back, opened its mouth wide, and took a deep breath…
"Huff…"
The Spiritual Energy inside the coffin immediately became tumultuous, transforming into thin threads that rushed into the Nascent Soul's mouth.
In just a few breaths, the Nascent Soul had absorbed more than half of the Spiritual Energy in the coffin, which had been quite dense but now turned thin.
"Er..."
The Nascent Soul smacked its lips, burped, then patted its smooth belly with its small hand, revealing a satisfied expression on its little face.
"Master, your Nascent Soul is really something," Chen San exclaimed, "It has absorbed so much Spiritual Energy in just a few breaths, that's just too… too impressive."
"Yeah, it's amazing," Liu Qing nodded in agreement.
Gao Fei was also surprised, he looked at the Nascent Soul's little belly, "Have you not feared that your belly would burst from absorbing so much Spiritual Energy all at once?"
The Nascent Soul pursed its lips, snorted, then leapt up, turning into a white light as it darted back into Gao Fei's body.
"What a character!" Chen San gave a thumbs up, "Just like Master, full of character!"
"Character, my ass," Gao Fei cursed, "He's nearly driven me mad, that won't do, I need to discipline him, let him know who's the boss here, or he might just turn the heavens upside down." Gao Fei closed his eyes, using the inner vision technique to search for his Nascent Soul within him, after finding it, Gao Fei began to communicate with his Nascent Soul.
After much persuasion, he finally reached a consensus with the Nascent Soul.
When no one else was around, the Nascent Soul could throw tantrums and be naughty, but if there were others present, the Nascent Soul had to behave respectfully and properly towards Gao Fei.
…
"Boom!!"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
The Bronze Coffin suddenly began to shake violently, and at the same time, a series of muffled sounds were heard.
"What's going on?" Chen San asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"Why is the Bronze Coffin shaking so violently all of a sudden?" Liu Qing also had a puzzled expression on his face.
Gao Fei called out to the elder in the Bronze Coffin with mental power, "Senior, what's going on?"
"We've encountered trouble."
"What trouble?"
"For some unknown reason, a suction force has appeared ahead, pulling the Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse forward. I've tried everything, but I can't stop it."
"Ah?" Gao Fei exclaimed in shock, "How could this be? What's the origin of that suction force?"
"I have a very bad feeling," the elder in the Bronze Coffin said, "We may have encountered a huge trouble."
"Hurry up and think of something," Gao Fei urged desperately, "We cannot just sit here and wait for death."
"I've thought of all I could, but nothing works," the elder in the Bronze Coffin said with a wry smile, "We escaped from our enemies' pursuit only to encounter an even bigger trouble."
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!"
"Rumble!!!"
The shaking of the Bronze Coffin grew more intense. Gao Fei, Chen San, and Liu Qing were staggering like drunkards, trying to steady themselves but failing.
"There's a vortex appearing ahead! Such a huge vortex!" the elder in the Bronze Coffin exclaimed, "The suction force is coming from the vortex."
"A vortex?" Gao Fei's face changed color.
"This is bad! We're about to enter the vortex!"
"Stop! Stop now! We absolutely cannot go into the vortex!"
"I can't stop it! The suction force is too strong; I can't resist it!"
"It's over, we're done for!"
...
"Crackle and pop!"
There was a huge vortex ahead, incredibly vast and terrifying. The vortex slowly spun, its center area emitting waves of strong suction that extended in all directions, stirring up the sea into a tumultuous roar. The Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse, bound by one of the suction forces, were rapidly pulled closer to the vortex.
Hundred zhang, ten zhang... one zhang...
"Boom!"
The Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse charged into the vortex.
"Ah!"
Waves of immense pressure surged from all sides, desperately squeezing the Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse. Under the impact of the tremendous pressure, the Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse emitted sharp, grating noises.
Gao Fei, Chen San, Liu Qing, and the others had long since passed out, incapacitated by the shock. Gao Fei's condition was somewhat better; Chen San and Liu Qing were bleeding from all seven orifices, their situation extremely critical.
The elder in the Bronze Coffin was only a wisp of a soul, with even less capacity to endure. Fortunately, protected by the Bronze Coffin, he was still able to hold on for a short while.
After entering the vortex, the elder in the Bronze Coffin gave up struggling, realizing that it was futile. The power filling the vortex was far beyond what the elder could resist.
At that moment, the elder in the Bronze Coffin began to regret his actions. Attempting to snatch the Dragon Corpse had led him into this hopeless situation; it was truly unwarranted.
The ancients said: "Greed is the root of all evil!" These words could not have been more true!
