626: Chapter 622: Slept for Three Days and Nights!
Of course, before starting his cultivation, Ye Tian took out silver needles and carefully inserted them into the major acupoints on his body…
Ye Tian had profound medical expertise, so before practicing, he could take out an “insurance” for himself, sealing the major acupoints all over his body to ensure that even if he was slightly careless while channeling his energy, his life would still be preserved!
Once everything was ready, Ye Tian began to emulate the swimming patterns of the fish in the tank, slowly circulating the breath inside his body…
Bit by bit, from the Dantian to the upper abdomen, then via the governor and conception vessels, reaching his heart meridian…
Everything seemed very normal, but the real challenge was about to come as the fish suddenly stopped swimming, and Ye Tian likewise abruptly halted the flow of energy inside his body!
With his energy meridian at his heart, forcibly stopping it was like slamming the brakes on a car speeding on a highway, causing an extraordinary shock.
Ye Tian felt a tightness in his chest and was overwhelmed by a strong sensation of pain!
It was a profound feeling of having sustained an internal injury.
Ordinary Martial Artists would never strain themselves in such a way because it would undoubtedly be self-torture.
Fortunately, Ye Tian had sealed his major acupoints with silver needles, so even if his energy flow was obstructed, it wouldn’t cause too much harm to his body.
After the pain subsided, Ye Tian continued to follow the fish’s swimming patterns.
If the breath in his body flowed smoothly along the meridians, it would have no impact on him.
However, if there were interruptions, reversals, or discontinuous movement, Ye Tian would experience an abnormal pain.
As the ruler of the night, Ye Tian was one of the few formidable figures in the world.
Yet even he struggled to endure such a method of cultivation.
He felt like his meridians were about to shatter.
If he hadn’t sealed the vital points on his body with silver needles in time, he might have already been dead.
After more than three hours, Ye Tian finally managed to follow the motion of the fish completely, circulating his breath throughout his body.
By then, Ye Tian was dripping with sweat.
This way of circulating energy was extremely demanding on the body; Ye Tian dared not attempt it a second time.
He very carefully removed all the silver needles that had been inserted into his body.
Now, Ye Tian suddenly felt much more relaxed.
His body was drenched in sweat, so he went to the bathroom to take a bath.
After the bath, the fatigue in Ye Tian’s body intensified, which he found extremely strange.
Generally, his vitality meant that he should not feel so drained after cultivating; what exactly had happened this time?
As his eyelids became too heavy to lift, Ye Tian could no longer keep himself awake and made his way to the bedroom, collapsing onto the bed to rest.
Ye Tian slept soundly, in a daze, unaware of how long it had been.
When he awoke, he found Yun Xinyan by his bedside, watching over him.
“Ye Tian!
You’re awake!!”
Seeing Ye Tian open his eyes, Yun Xinyan immediately exclaimed excitedly.
“Wife, what’s wrong?”
Yun Xinyan’s eyes glistened with tears as Ye Tian sensed something was amiss and asked directly.
“What’s wrong?
You’ve been unconscious all this time, so I’ve been waiting by your side.
Now you’re finally awake!”
Yun Xinyan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, her expression making Ye Tian feel bewildered.
“Unconscious?
I was just sleeping.
When did it turn into unconsciousness?”
Ye Tian asked in confusion, but Yun Xinyan, clearly anxious, replied, “Unconscious is exactly what you were!
Ye Tian, do you realize that you’ve been lying in bed for three whole days and nights?”
“Three days and nights!?”
Ye Tian was astonished.
He had never slept that long before.
Three days and nights—that’s 36 hours!
How could an ordinary person sleep for such an extended period??
“Is that real or fake?”
Ye Tian asked again, to which Yun Xinyan immediately nodded.
Her face showed she wasn’t joking…
“It’s real, Ye Tian!
Three days ago when I came back home, I saw you fast asleep on the bed, which didn’t seem unusual at first.
After tidying up, I went to sleep myself.
However, when I woke up, you still hadn’t.
I became so worried that I tried to shake you awake, but as soon as I touched you, I was repelled by a strong force, unable to get close!
I called the emergency center, and several doctors came wanting to put you on a stretcher, but like me, as soon as they touched you, they were thrown back by a powerful force!”
Yun Xinyan was a whirl of panic and joy…
Ye Tian looked at his own limbs.
The protective force around his body likely came from the life energy of the millennium ancient tree, embedded in a wooden dagger carved from its heartwood.
The dagger was always carried with him, even when sleeping, and under normal circumstances, the power within would not be released.
But not this time.
Having fallen into a deep sleep, unprotected, the dagger’s power had become his guard, repelling everyone who tried to approach.
“With no other option, I stopped going to work and stayed by your side, afraid to touch you and be harmed by the force within you.
But I was extremely anxious because you continued without food or drink.
Even a body of steel cannot hold out forever!
So, when you finally woke up, I felt incredibly overjoyed!”
Yun Xinyan spoke forgetfully, unable to hide the excitement in her heart.
Ye Tian pulled Yun Xinyan into his arms and softly said, “Don’t worry, my dear wife.
You know who I am; how could I simply fall into unconsciousness like that?
Look, am I not completely fine now?”
“Hmm…”
Yun Xinyan nestled in Ye Tian’s arms, feeling a sense of security as well.
She wiped away her tears and stopped crying.
“Wife, it’s so good to have you by my side.
Don’t worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you!”
Ye Tian spoke tenderly.
Since his birth, he had never experienced the warmth of a family.
Other than the expert who taught him martial arts, it was only Yun Xinyan who had been the kindest to him.
Therefore, Ye Tian’s purpose in living was to protect Yun Xinyan, to let Yun Xinyan live a carefree life…
“Wife, let’s go shopping tomorrow!”
Ye Tian suddenly said, and Yun Xinyan looked at him, surprised.
“Really?”
Yun Xinyan asked timidly.
Ever since Ye Tian returned from Korea, he had been busy with his own affairs and indeed hadn’t spent much time with her.
So when Ye Tian took the initiative, she was somewhat moved.
A pure and innocent smile appeared on Yun Xinyan’s face like that of a little girl.
She held on to Ye Tian’s hand.
“Then, let’s go tomorrow!”
Yun Xinyan said excitedly and after getting ready, she went to bed to sleep.
The next day happened to be a weekend, and Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan went out…
Although Jiang City was not a very large city, it had a considerable population, so the streets were still lively.
Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan arrived at Jiang City’s pedestrian street.
The square on the pedestrian street had once been severely damaged due to the battle between Ye Tian and Tian Shisan.
However, it didn’t take long before it was repaired by the municipal authorities and reopened.
The citizens strolling through the square had long forgotten the fierce battle that had taken place between Ye Tian and Tian Shisan.
Everyone had forgotten the pain once the wound healed, their faces brimming with smiles.
It was good that everyone had forgotten.
Ye Tian was optimistic about it.
That way, when he and his wife Yun Xinyan went shopping, no one would come up to ask for his autograph…
“Wife, let’s go inside the mall and buy some clothes!”
Ye Tian spoke to Yun Xinyan, but he suddenly noticed someone wearing Daoist robes ahead of them.
What was strange was not the clothes on his body but the aura he radiated.
The person wearing Daoist robes carried Inner Strength within him, but this Inner Strength was somewhat different from what Ye Tian knew…
“Force of nature!”
The phrase flashed through Ye Tian’s mind.
Could it be that the person in front of him also contained the force of nature within him?
Why hadn’t he encountered these people before, and why were they appearing now?
“The dragon vein of Jiang City has been severed, releasing its power, and many people have come…”
The words of the pickpocket who had once stolen Zhu Rou’s handbag once again echoed in Ye Tian’s ears.
Could it be that the appearance of these fellows was related to the dragon vein of Jiang City?
Who exactly had severed the “dragon vein”?
Ye Tian thought carefully.
The biggest excavation in Jiang City in recent times was undoubtedly the excavation of the ancient tomb led by Xue Yunfu.
Although it was now proven to be nothing more than Xue Yunfu embezzling under the guise of guardianship, he probably accidentally severed the dragon vein in the ancient tomb, right?
It seemed that Ye Tian needed to visit the ancient tomb of Jiang City…
Ye Tian’s mind was racing with thoughts.
Yun Xinyan noticed Ye Tian’s strange expression and followed his gaze to the person in Daoist robes.
Yun Xinyan sighed and said, “Ye Tian, it’s odd.
Recently, Jiang City suddenly has these people wearing strange and exotic clothes.
The citizens even think they are here for a movie shoot!
Even the police wanted to drive these people away, but no matter what they did, they couldn’t completely get rid of them!
Fortunately, these people never harm the citizens and usually behave themselves, so the police just turn a blind eye to them!”
“I see…”
Ye Tian nodded.
Since these people didn’t harm the citizens, he didn’t bother to provoke them.
Of course, with Ye Tian’s current strength, he had no reason to fear those with the force of nature.
However, on the condition of his lack of understanding of the force of nature, to act rashly would position Ye Tian as a target for all.
The priority was to thoroughly investigate what the force of nature truly was.
Then, he would ensure the safety of those around him and the citizens of Jiang City!
