The golden seed finally entered the dan tian.
Suddenly, it shone brightly, and Chu Tian saw clearly the situation within his dan tian.
Legends said that everyone else's dan tian had a shape, mostly spherical.
But Chu Tian discovered that his dan tian had no such shape as people described.
At a glance, it was boundless.
It was said that the larger the dan tian, the higher the growth potential. Could he be an unparalleled genius?
"Stop being so smug. You don't have a dan tian at all, so what shape could there be?"
Dao Tian immediately doused him with cold water.
"Huh?" Chu Tian was stunned.
The golden seed, upon entering Chu Tian's dan tian region, slowly floated to a position, trembled twice,
And then became still. Just as Chu Tian was about to ask what to do next,
The seed cracked with a sound.
A root first emerged, and under Chu Tian's gaze, the root inexplicably anchored itself in the void.
Following that, a pair of green shoots emerged from the seed, slowly unfolding.
The Qi that Ye Ling and the others spoke of had actually transformed into a seed?
And it had taken root and sprouted in his empty dan tian.
Regarding this, just as Chu Tian was about to ask, a powerful attraction emanated from the young sprout. He found that around his body,
Countless pale green energies surged towards him.
They all drilled into his body, gathered at the dan tian, and enveloped the green sprout.
It grew visibly faster and faster.
It extended upwards along the position of Chu Tian's dan tian.
Chu Tian watched it with shock and worry.
What shocked him was how incredibly fast it was growing, like pulling up seedlings.
What worried him was that as this young sprout grew, it didn't thicken; instead, it became thinner and thinner.
Eventually, it became as thin as a spiderweb, extending all the way to his chest before stopping its growth.
The extremely fine stem looked as if it would break with the slightest touch.
"Old fellow, what's going on?" Chu Tian asked.
Dao Tian was observing Chu Tian at this moment, and he was muttering excitedly in his heart: It has sprouted, it has sprouted… the ten thousand realms trash physique can indeed nurture a seed of life… My old companions, you will be saved… It’s just, I don’t know how much this tree of life can grow in five years!
Of course, Chu Tian didn't hear these words.
In response to Chu Tian's question, he replied, "Hmm, it's just a small sprout, what's so surprising? Finish what you need to do and get back to the game to level up quickly."
Dao Tian's indifferent words made Chu Tian lose all interest in the strange sapling.
He exhaled, releasing a breath of greenish gas.
He withdrew his focus and opened his eyes.
What met his gaze was an overturned tent and a ruined campsite.
Ye Ling, the other three, and a soul were staring blankly at Chu Tian.
"Did you gather Qi into your dan tian?" Gao Kai asked.
"Sort of!" Chu Tian himself didn't know if he had gathered Qi.
He couldn't possibly tell them that a tree had grown in his dan tian, or they would think he was a monster.
"How is that possible? You don't even..."
Xu Duoduo, hearing Chu Tian's words, sounded incredulous.
But as soon as she started speaking, she suddenly looked horrified and dared not speak further.
Just a moment ago, a tremendous pressure had fallen upon her.
Simultaneously, a voice echoed in her ear: "If you dare to speak nonsense, I will obliterate you right now."
At this moment, Xu Duoduo, who had been in soul form for many years, felt as if she was drenched in sweat.
She gazed at Chu Tian in terror.
This little fellow actually had such a terrifying guardian behind him.
If she knew that Dao Tian couldn't actually interfere in anything and could only scare her, who knew what she would think. Da Feng Novel Network
"Is there nothing?" Zhao Lei asked.
The others also looked at her curiously.
"Ah... I mean, he doesn't have a master, so how did he know the method of gathering Qi?"
Chu Tian was stunned. Did gathering Qi require knowing a method?
Wasn't it as simple as guiding the "Qi" into the dan tian using divine soul power?
Little did he know that he didn't even have meridians.
If he had seen the meridians within another martial artist's body, he would have realized something was missing from his own body.
Even ordinary people had meridians.
Seeing Chu Tian's expression, Xu Duoduo guessed that Chu Tian himself might not know about this issue.
She quickly changed the subject, "You two, tidy up, we're ready to depart.
We've been in this broken place for three days, and Ye Zi's ghost head has moved again!"
Only then did Chu Tian realize that three days had already passed.
This mission was to resolve the ghost head imprint on Ye Ling.
There were also twelve other people waiting for them to find a solution so they could survive.
He had actually wasted three days here.
Chu Tian scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "It's all my fault, let's speed up! You guys can give me your backpacks to carry."
After eating, everyone began to proceed.
It wasn't until past ten o'clock at night that Xu Duoduo announced, "We're almost there!"
After a day of forced march, they finally reached their destination.
All of this was thanks to Chu Tian, not only because he carried everyone's backpacks,
But also because when he asked Xu Duoduo how to use Qi,
He accidentally discovered that when he released his Qi outwards, all the plants around him, such as vines, thorns, and branches, would automatically avoid him.
With this discovery, Chu Tian took on the role of pathfinder.
Anyway, he didn't need to do anything else; he just needed to walk in front.
This was much faster than Zhao Lei and the others cutting through thorns and branches with their broadswords.
They traveled unimpeded for a full twelve hours, and gradually, dense fog began to appear around them.
Xu Duoduo explained, "This is a barrier set up by them when they left back then.
To prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering and getting into danger, this fog was set up by a formation master in their team.
Ordinary people who enter will inexplicably be sent back the way they came."
After her explanation, everyone was very curious about this formation.
It was truly miraculous, still functioning after so many years.
Xu Duoduo said, "The formation is first-class and has always been mysterious, borrowing wind, water, and the heavens and earth. As long as it's not fatally damaged, the formation will continue to operate."
Zhao Lei exclaimed, "That amazing? I know many 'heaven-defying formations,' why are they gone now?"
Jing Kaiyu, who hadn't paid much attention initially, was surprised to hear Zhao Lei's words and asked, "You even know about 'heaven-defying formations'? What formations?"
Zhao Lei looked at him with disdain and asked, "The Myriad Immortals Formation, the Immortal Slaying Formation, the Plague Formation, the Ten Directions Formation, the Nine Twists Yellow River Formation, you don't know these?"
Jing Kaiyu shook his head. Everyone looked at Zhao Lei in surprise, not expecting this young man to know about formations. Truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover.
"Holy cow..." Zhao Lei pointed at everyone, "You all don't know, do you? Haven't you ever read 'Investiture of the Gods'?"
After hearing his words, everyone, who had initially been quite impressed with him,
Began to react differently after the last sentence. Jing Kaiyu: Cough... Ptooey!
A mouthful of saliva was directly spat onto the ground, passing right by Zhao Lei.
