Chapter 579: Cultivating.
Hao Ren looked at Jana and asked, "How do I extract the material from the Eternal List that you mentioned earlier?"
Jana said, "Focus on the mark on your wrist and then you can see the content of the list, then you would be able to find the things listed there."
Hao Ren nodded and he asked, "Where does these things come from?"
Jana shook his head and replied, "I have no idea, in one of the ancient scriptures that I discovered here it was listed that these things manifest from the energy of the heaven and earth. However, I think that these resources are placed on the list by some people who are sourcing them from various plains. Like a commission for us to push these demons back."
Hao Ren nodded thoughtfully, the rest of the people in his team also began to think if this was really the case. The others were also thinking about the same, they have obtained a lot of things that helped them get stronger but now thinking about it was indeed a curious topic. Hao Ren focused his soul energy to the mark and then he found a list unfold in his consciousness. Their were many things listed there that would make him strong, had Hao Ren been someone who didn’t know what path he wanted to take, then he would have been confused, but he knew which path he was walking here.
So, thinking about it, he looked for material that would strengthen his soul energy and finally he looked for the treasure that would allow him to fight better and more ruthlessly.
The three items that he picked up were very high leveled as they cost him around half of his merit points, that was around ten thousand merit points, he picked up a liquid that was called, the Lily Soul Dew, it was listed beside this material that this dew was collected from the petals of a thousand years old soul lily flower, and this dew drop would help the consumer strengthen their soul to another level. Hao Ren was not sure if this was going to work as exaggeratedly as it was listed on the list but the fact that they sold one drop from six thousand merit points, then it must have been true.
The second item that he purchased was the brawling gloves that were made from Violet liquid Iron. These gloves had a high shock absorbing ability and were covered with runes and formations that increased the horrendous impact caused by the wearer. Usually cultivators preferred weapons and so they had never paid much attention to the art of brawling. Thus, Hao Ren was happy that he picked these up. He had the titan armor for himself but he was not in a hurry to use that thing, it would hold him back from feeling the proper immersion in the fight. To hone his sharp senses and detect killing intention, he would need to be stronger.
The rest of the merit points, he used them to buy out as many spirit stones of the top quality as he could. In this world where spiritual energy was running scarce. These spirit stones were his biggest capital. The young man didn’t talk to anyone, and he walked up to the side, where he sat down over a big boulder, and closed his eyes, to calm his mind and regain the touch of humanity in the flow of his emotions.
He was done very quickly, and when he was done with it, he took out a jade bottle from his space ring, the material that he had purchased had somehow appeared inside his space ring. Hao Ren could not help but wonder about the mystery behind this whole place. He removed the stopper on the small bottle and brought it to his lips, then he used his spiritual energy to suck out the small drop of the liquid.
As soon as the drop slid down the tongue, Hao Ren’s body froze and a strong cold covered his core. This was not something that he could handle with ease just because he wants to. The cold erupted from his core and his soul was trapped in it quickly. Hao Ren tried to channel his spiritual flame and only then did he manage to halt the climbing cold.
After the initial outburst Hao Ren gradually realized that his soul was absorbing this coldness and it was getting stronger in the process. He smiled faintly as he continued refining the energy, this was his first concern at the moment because if his soul was to fall weak, then he would be at a greater risk of losing himself when he comprehends the path of slaughter dao ahead of this. Only with a strong soul could he hold onto his anchor points.
This whole process lasted for two days, none of the Ye Generals left, they protected him in a circle and fended off against all and any demon forces that stumbled over to their side. Hao Ren opened his eyes and said, "Come alone, I have a place where you will not have to buy me for such a long time."
Ye Si asked, "Big brother, what do you mean? Which place?"
Hao Ren told them about the ruined city that he found, and they all agreed to visit this place and use it as a camp,because at the moment they were just a bit too close to the old city where they had been humiliated. Hao Ren was their leader and they didn’t want anyone to humiliate their leader by they could be affected by demonic energy.
However, when they arrived at the city, they found that this place was indeed in shambles. So, after entering inside the gate, they picked up a few intact houses and cleaned them up before settling down. While Hao Ren sat in the square. The young man took a deep breath, as he looked at the sword that was vibrating gently. Hao Ren knew that the sword was responding to his presence, but at this moment, he didn’t have anytime to handle the sword.
After thinking he took a deep breath and said, "I will see you later."
In his lap appeared a pile of top grade spirit stones. The young man took a deep breath and began to extract the spirit stone from the stones. The energy entered his body and then travelled to his dantian after a cycle, the energy from the top grade stones was rather pure but Hao Ren still drove it through the flame seed in his body and made it pristine. The energy entered his dantian and then passed through the True Essence Crystals before it transformed into True Essence.
This true essence then kept on increasing, until Hao Ren managed to fill up his Dantian to the brim before he refined it once again, The liquid began to reduce and turned into a solid crystal. This process was long, but it was something essential, with the condensation of every new crystal, Hao Ren was one step closer to the peak of the heavenly soldier realm.
His realm had been holding back the impact of destruction that he could create, just because his body was refined to the peak, it did not mean it could also do it’s best. To run a vehicle at the top speed, one needed to fill it up with high grade fuel as well, True Essence was that fuel.
Hao Ren could sense the energy radiating from his core and seeping in his being. His muscles and tendons were the first to transform a little. They were all brimming with a luster of gold and they looked like they were made of jade. All the impurities, that have never been purged from his body before this were removed by the pressure created inside his body.
Hao Ren didn’t stop, one after the other, he kept condensing the crystals in his dantian. If someone was to look inside his dantian, the would find out many tiny crystals just levitating in the black void as they shimmered from time to time. It was as if a starry sea had taken birth inside his dantian.
After a week, Hao Ren opened his eyes, the isolation array around the city made sure that none of the living beings, be it a human or a demon could come inside and disturb them. The people had grown stronger and Hao Ren had reached the peak of the heavenly soldier realm with ninety-nine crystals in his dantian, now what he needed was to condense the final crystal. However, for that, he wanted to go out and do that after killing some more demons so that he could use the true essence from a Yang elemental item he spotted in the list. He wanted to make his True Core that was needed for the Heavenly General Realm have a balanced nature and for that, he needed to balance the Yin and Yang inside of him.
