Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Cultivating Five Types of Spiritual Power!

"Finally, I can try to absorb other types of spiritual power and see what changes will occur!"

In a cave, Lu Chen had slain a demonic beast, completely depleting his Fire Spiritual Power in the process.

He sat cross-legged, completely unaware of the upheaval occurring in the depths of Heaven’s Abyss.

Immersing his mind, he decided to start absorbing Wood Spirit Power!

There was only one reason: the Heaven’s Abyss was teeming with trees, and he could also see that the Wood Spirit Qi seemed more active!

Placing his long spear by his side, Lu Chen began to execute the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

Streams of pure Wood Spirit Qi entered his body, passed through his nine meridians, and finally transformed into Wood Spirit Power!

As his lower abdomen gradually filled with spiritual power, and he could absorb no more, only then did Lu Chen open his eyes.

"I wonder how much time has passed!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly—the trouble with Heaven’s Abyss was that he couldn’t gauge the time spent by the changes in light.

"Let’s just give it a try!"

He picked up his long spear and thrust it fiercely towards the entrance of the cave!

Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!

A green dragon shadow appeared on the long spear!

But compared to Fire Spiritual Power, its might was far lesser!

"Is this all the power Wood Spirit Power possesses?"

He furrowed his brows, utterly confused.

Logically speaking, each of the Five Elements had its strengths, but why such a discrepancy when all had been refined by him?

After much thought, he still could not puzzle it out, so he sat down cross-legged again, carefully sensing the changes in his body.

Suddenly, with his spirit so focused, his expression turned serious!

The Wood Spirit Power lacked external force, but within the lower abdomen, where spiritual power was stored, there was a sense of the Dantian being reborn!

"This..."

He was astounded, reaching out to touch his lower abdomen.

The scar from when his Dantian had been gouged out was still there, unchanged!

Yet clearly, he could feel as if the Dantian was regenerating!

Originally, he had practiced the Heavenly Inquiry Spirit Technique, and the spiritual power at the original Dantian’s location was extremely scattered.

Only when executing the Imperial Command of his spear technique did this spiritual power follow commands, flowing from the nine meridians to his arms, ultimately connecting to the long spear.

But if he had a Dantian...

"Could it be that the Totem Ancestor foresaw this outcome?"

Although Lu Chen was overjoyed, he still furrowed his brow.

"No, that’s not right! The Totem Ancestor only told me to reach the Qi Refinement Realm and seek him out but never explained how to advance to the Qi Refinement Realm! I’ve just been assuming things!"

Lu Chen immediately realized the crux of the matter; previously, since he had obtained three different cultivation technique manuals, his mind clouded with hatred, he hadn’t thought it through!

Now, reflecting on it, he naturally spotted the flaws!

"The intricacies of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear Technique and the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, I only know the surface and not how to advance to the next level! Not to mention the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, even the absorption of a single type of spiritual power was my own idea!"

Lu Chen’s eyes snapped open, and after a moment of contemplation, he decided to try and absorb other elemental spiritual powers again!

But before that, he had to completely use up the Wood Spirit Power within his body!

He repeatedly executed Spear Strikes Like a Dragon, releasing all the Wood Spirit Power before beginning to absorb Water Spirit Qi.

Compared to Wood Spirit Power, Water Spirit Power was not as dense.

Similarly, when wielding the Heavenly Inquiry Spear with Water Spirit Power, Lu Chen felt a sense of agility.

Next, he absorbed and refined the Metal Element and Earth Element in succession; surprisingly, the Metal Element provided an increase in speed, which was an unexpected joy.

As for Earth Spirit Power, it gave him a sense of greater endurance!

"It seems each type of spiritual power has its own characteristics. What if I absorb all five types of spiritual power simultaneously and then release them together?"

Struck by a sudden idea, Lu Chen resolved to give it a try.

However, absorbing all five types of spiritual power from the air simultaneously was not easy, and Lu Chen was soon disheartened.

Due to a lack of control, the influx of the five types of spiritual power was unbalanced, which was no different from his initial practice of the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method.

"This won’t do; it looks like I need to slow down and focus on achieving balance!"

Lu Chen emptied his spiritual power once more and then decided to absorb each strand slowly, striving to maintain balance!

He opened his left eye and stared intently at the spiritual energy in the air.

As the Five-Color Wheel turned, he began to absorb the Water Spirit Power!

Following water was fire, after fire came wood, following wood was earth, and after earth was metal...

Thus repeating, Lu Chen’s body swiftly filled with increasingly more spiritual power, and within his lower abdomen, an extraordinary change occurred!

A Five-Color Wheel, comprising all five colors, rotated within the region of his Dantian, growing larger and larger.

Until, Lu Chen’s body could no longer hold any more spiritual power, and the wheel grew to its utmost limit!

Boom!

Suddenly, Lu Chen heard a tremendous sound from his lower abdomen!

The Five-Color Wheel abruptly sped up, the colors on its surface blending into one due to the rapid movement!

A greyish-white color!

At the same time, this greyish-white force, as if flung by the wheel, shot straight into Lu Chen’s nine meridians and circulated through the complete cycle!
