Energy Rampage, Treatment

Yun Yun was the first to be alerted.

She had returned in too much of a hurry. After announcing that she had taken in a new Direct Disciple, she had been summoned away by the Council of Elders, leaving her no time to arrange certain matters. Yun Yun had directly brought Chen Mo back to the palace where she lived.

However, she lived in the inner hall, while he stayed in the Side Hall.

How could the changes in the surrounding Dou Qi escape Yun Yun, whose attention had been fixed on the Side Hall the entire time?

"This brat, again. But what kind of cultivation technique is this? It's so domineering."

Though she was full of doubts, Yun Yun still acted, using her methods to shroud and seal off the palace.

As a result, because she moved too quickly, quite a few people noticed it immediately. But upon seeing that it was in the direction of the Sect Leader's palace, they did not grow suspicious.

Thus, the matter did not cause much of a stir within the Misty Cloud Sect.

No one knew how long this endless devouring continued, but the commotion in the Side Hall finally began to subside.

By then, Yun Yun was drenched in sweat as well. Enveloping the palace was not some great technique, but it was time-consuming and exhausting, and it consumed a great deal of Dou Qi.

Side Hall.

Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, his mind filled with endless confusion.

First, despite devouring such a vast amount, he had not awakened even a single Giant Elephant Embryonic Disk. He had only awakened one in total.

Second, aside from his rapid initial progress in cultivating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, reaching minor mastery of the first level, he had made no progress at all during his recent cultivation.

Third, something Chen Mo had only discovered after finishing: although the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force absorbed Dou Qi very quickly, very little of it was converted into energy within his body.

Fourth, he seemed to have encountered a bottleneck.

"Damn it, other transmigrators crush heaven and earth right from the start, and some even begin invincible. But I'm only a few chapters in, haven't even gotten any benefits, and I'm already running out of steam?"

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

"Could it be because the worlds are different? One cultivates vital energy, the other Dou Qi? That makes sense. The Saint King Plane is described as far more advanced than the Dou Qi Continent, but then what was with that rapid progress at the start?"

Let me think. How did the protagonist in Saint King obtain the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force?

A woman?

No, that was part of his romantic history.

"Don't tell me it was being struck by lightning?" Chen Mo said in alarm.

Although this was the Dou Qi Continent, a world of cultivators where absorbing fire and water to cultivate was commonplace, there was no way Chen Mo could bring down lightning upon himself.

Even the Thousand Thunder Art stated that drawing lightning into one's body was the fastest cultivation method.

But even if Chen Mo died, even if he jumped off the summit of Misty Cloud Mountain, he would never draw lightning to himself.

"Let's try the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source again."

With a thought, four bottles of Accompanying Purple Crystal Source appeared in neat rows before Chen Mo.

Without hesitation, Chen Mo picked up a bottle, pulled out the stopper, and gulped it down.

At once, Chen Mo felt lightheaded.

That was right—lightheaded. His entire head turned bright red.

His body grew hotter and hotter, waves of heat seeping out from every part of his meridians. The veins on his arms suddenly bulged another full circle.

In barely ten seconds, even his skin gradually took on a purple hue.

"Fuck, this is intense." Enduring the discomfort throughout his body, Chen Mo hurriedly circulated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force to refine it.

Then—

The abnormal change erupted again.

Yun Yun, in the main hall, sensed the sudden disturbance and widened her eyes. "Again?"

She had no choice but to seal it off once more.

However, she discovered that the fluctuations this time were even greater than the previous two. She was beginning to struggle.

"It's here, it's here. That feeling is back."

Chen Mo was overjoyed. The pure energy transformed from the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source flowed through his meridians. Closing his eyes in meditation, he envisioned himself transforming into eight hundred forty million tiny particles, guiding the energy toward one of them.

"Crack."

A faint sound, like glass shattering, came from within Chen Mo's body. One tiny particle suddenly cracked, releasing a trace of the aura of an ancient primordial beast awakening.

Just as Chen Mo felt that this giant elephant was about to emerge from the particle—

The energy ran out.

Fuck, another bottle.

He poured another bottle of Accompanying Purple Crystal Source down his throat.

Oh yeah, the feeling is back.

Again.

Another sublimation of the soul.

Damn it.

He gulped down the third bottle.

This time, it finally lived up to his expectations.

That primordial beastly aura completely awakened.

For a moment, the entire palace seemed to tremble in terror beneath that aura.

"Pfft." Yun Yun, who was sealing off the palace in the inner hall, suffered a backlash from the aura and spat out blood.

The aura spread outside.

At the elders' residences near the palace, the elders all turned their gazes in this direction.

The aura made them feel threatened. It made them tremble.

At the same time, they noticed that the aura did not belong to their Sect Leader, Yun Yun.

There was someone else inside the Sect Leader's palace.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo had awakened the strength of a second giant elephant, and his cultivation had reached the Two-star Dou Master realm.

Unfortunately, he had only refined a little over half of the third bottle of Accompanying Purple Crystal Source. A large portion still remained unrefined within Chen Mo's body.

Therefore, before Chen Mo could properly savor the sensation, he fell unconscious.

"Clang." As Chen Mo collapsed, he accidentally knocked into the teapot beside him.

Hearing the commotion from inside, Yun Yun hurried in.

But when she saw the unconscious Chen Mo, her expression changed drastically. She rushed over, lifted him up, and placed his head against her chest.

"So hot." The instant Yun Yun touched his skin, it nearly burned her hand. She placed her jade hand on his arm and sent in a thread of Dou Qi, then exclaimed in shock, "What domineering energy. What exactly did this guy do?"

Her gaze swept aside, and sensing something, Yun Yun picked up a Jade Bottle by Chen Mo's feet and sniffed it. Even with her knowledge, it took her quite a while to recognize it as Accompanying Purple Crystal Source.

"Good heavens, he drank three bottles of Purple Crystal Source? Does he have a death wish?" A flash of anger surfaced on Yun Yun's face, but it soon turned into a trace of heartache.

She believed that the Sect Competition had put pressure on him. His earlier arrogance and brashness had merely been to reassure her, but the moment she left, he began cultivating desperately.

"How could you be so foolish? It's all my fault. But don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Yun Yun's eyes were filled with determination. She decided that after Chen Mo was safe, she would convene another Council of Elders meeting.

Another round of persuading them with reason.

Yun Yun's jade hand brushed across Chen Mo's face. A hint of struggle appeared in her eyes, but after a moment, she gritted her teeth. She first untied Chen Mo's robe, then untied her own, before pressing her entire body against Chen Mo's back.

She decided to use this gentlest method to suppress the violent energy within Chen Mo's body.
